It has been mentioned that the transmission of
the electricity or galvanism could be discernible
by various means well known. If any indica-
tion, however slight, is made, that is enough,-
all that is wanted being that it should be per-
ceivable by the person placed to watch the tele-
graph.
It has been assumed, that the electric current
is capable of transmission by means of a single
impulse from Edinburgh to London. But it is
not indispensable that so great a distance should
be accomplished at once. Intermediate stations,
for supplying telegraphs with new galvanic in.
fluence could be resorted to, and its perfect effi-
ciency still be preserved.
The best made of troughing or protecting the
metallic conductors, and separating them both
from each other, and from the surrounding sub-
stances by which the electric or galvanic influ-
ence might be diverted, would of course require
considerable scientific and mechanical skill, but
the object appears perfectly attainable. Insulat-
ing or non-conducting substances, as gumlac,sul-
phur, rosin, baked wood, &c. are cheap; and the
insulation might be accomplished in many ways.
For example, by laying the wires, after coating
them with some nan-conducting substances, in
layers betwixt thin-slips of baked wood, similar-
ly coated, the whole properly fastened together
and coated externally. These slips might be per-
haps ten yards long, and at the iJiHUtsnreo ,,-
""..^. .. +,..,+ -. Ft.(J uiiu aat tui tru c tmu lon OT The
wire, by the change of temperature, might be
adopted. The whole might be enclosed in a
strong oblong trough of wood, coated within and
pitched without, and buried two or three feet un-
der the turnpike road.
The expense of making the telegraph propos-
ed, is, of course,an important element in the con-
sideration of its practicability and utility.
The chief material necessary, viz: copper
wire, is by no means expensive. It is sold at ls
6d. per pound, of sixty yards in length. The
cost of wire from Edinburgh to London,say 400
miles, would thus be about 100L.-but say for
solderings, &c. 1001. additional-or that each
copper wire, laid from Edinburgh to London,
would cost 10001. sterling; and that the total ex-
pense for the wires necessary to indicate separ-
ately each letter of the alphabet, would be 25,-
0001. The purchase of so large a quantity would,
of course, be made at a considerable less price;
but probably one or two additional wires might
be needed, and the circuit of the electrical influ-
ence must be provided for by one or more return
wires.
The coating, separating and troughing of the
wires can be accomplished by low priced materi-
als, and the total expense of the whole work,
(except the price of the wires,) allowing a large
sum for incidental expenditure, has been rough-
ly estimated at 75,000/; making a maximum ex-
penditure of say 100,000/. for the completion of
the Telegraph. For a proportional additional
sum it might be extended to Glasgow.
The average of the Parliamentary estimates
for railways is about 15,700/ per mile, so that the
whole cost of the Electro Magnetic Telegraph
proposed, would only amount to as much as the
construction of a railway of between six and se-
ven miles in length.
As to the working of the Telegraph, it is ap-
prehended,that even if the speed of writing wero
not attained, there could at least be no difficulty
in indicating one letter per second. At this rate
a communication which would contain sixty-five
words, would occupy about five minutes. This
is supposing the vowels to be allindicated. But
abbreviation, in this and many other respects,
would, no doubt, be contrived; and the number
of words in the communication supposed ore
greater than necessary for an ordinary banking
or commercial letter, or for friendly inquiries,
and responses. Supposing, however, that each
communication was to occupy five minutes, und
to be charged five shillings each--if the tele-
graph was worked twelve hours a day, (that is,
six hours from each end,) it would produce a
revenue of 361. daily, or 10,8001. per annumsup-
posing there were to be 300 working days in the
year. If, however the plan is practicable, the

No one can doubt-that there would be a very
great demand for the services of such a perfect
telegraph as is here supposed capable of being
constructed. In every department of commerce,
in shipping, in banking, and all money transac-
tions, in the communication of public and poli-
tical intelligence, in the law, and in family and
friendly intercourse, the utility of the telegraph
would be immense. By coining at the same
time to the two ends of the telegraph, parties
might almost enjoy all the advantages of a per-
sonal interview, at a trifling expense. The con-
sequence of such a machine being established,
would be to bring, as it were, the cities of Lon-
don and Edinburgh into the immediate neigh-
borhood of each other, and to produce transac-
tions and communications of kinds not hitherto
known or practiced. Were the example follow-
ed all over the kingdom, it would create, per-
haps, one of the greatest changes in human af-
fairs, called into operation by the ingenuity of
man.
The plan, from its affinity to the post office,
was lately communicated to his Majesty's Gov-
ernment, as worthy of their attention, in place
of bv-ng tI,. tQ t* j iS-ent~rjriseu -ot-indivi-
duals, which, however, it is in view to (all
into action by Parliamentary authority, if ne-
cessary.
Arrangements are being made for having the
necessary experiments tried on a metallic con-
ductor of Hy or a hundred miles in length, and
if the same instantaneous and perfect indication
of the passage of the electric or galvanic fluid is
f Iund to take place, as in the case of the recent
experiments at the University, the triumph of
the scheme would be complete. Further notice
will be given'to the public of the progress of the
plan.

The annexed article, which we copy from the
New Haven Herald,bears the initial of Professor
Olmsted, who has devoted much-attention to the
phenomenon in question, and has broached a
theory on the subject, which may be found at
length in Silliman's JournAl of Science.
METEORIC SHOWER (/ NOV, 1837.
The fact of an occurrence of an extraordinary
exhibition of meteors, or shooting stars, on the
morning of the 13th of November, every year
for six years past, afforded a sufficient reason,
independently of every theoretical consideration,
for watching the heavens attentively, on the
night of the recent anniversary. The result has
justified our anticipations; and we are able to
say that the annual meteoric shower of November
has been repeated the present pear. The scale,
indeed, was vastly inferior to those of some other
years, but still th- phenomenon was marked by
such distinctive peculiarities with respect to the
number, origin, directions and trains of the
meteors, as to leave no doubt of its identity with
them.
In order that every part of the firmament
might receive its due share of attention, the four
quarters of the heavens were parcelled out among
eight persons, two to each quarter, one to observe
and one to record.
l ne eaiiy parL 0o me -e'v ciig vi t o t 'i ur
afforded some signals of promise. A copious
rain which fell on the previous night, attended
by an easterly wind, had given place to a serene
sky, with the wind at the west; from the setting
sun diverged large columns of a peculiar rose
colored vapor; and, before six o'clock, an auro-
ral pillar, of a crimson hue, presented itself in
the northwest; but before seven o'clock, every
unusual appearance had vanished, and left an
unclouded sky.
The full moon, however, shone with so strong
a light as almost to hide the stars, permitting
none to be seen below the third magnitude; of
course, no meteors but those of unusual bright-
ness could be visible.
No shooting stars were observed until five
minutes past one o'clock, when they began to
appear at considerable intervals, emanating as
usual from the head of Leo, which constellation
was then ascending the eastern sky. The me-
teors gradually increased in number and bright.-
ness until day-light. lNearly all, as they darted
forth, left visible traces of their paths. Some of
these were brilliant, and all must have had a
high degree of brightness to have overcome so
strong a moonlight. Indeed, in such a state of
he sky, it is rare on common evenings to see
shooting stars at all. These traces were in most
cases to be regarded, not as trains, arising from
he deposit of luminous matter, but as mere lines
f light, owing to the velocity of the meteors,
which was so great that a continued impression
was left on the eye, like that of a stick ignited
,t the end and whirled in the air. Trains re-
maining after the extinction of the meteors,
which made a conspicuous figure in the meteo-
ic shower of 1833,) are rarely luminous enough
o be visible in full moon light. Only two were
observed on the present occasion.
The whole number counted during the night
was 226. Of these, all but 10 or 12 either radi-
ted from a point in the head of Leo, or moved
in lines which, if continued, would have passed i
through that point. The position of the radiant
was at first near the Lion's eye, (at the star Mu
Leonis) but afterwards moved southward and i
eastward a little, and soon after 3 o'clock became
stationary, near Epsilon Leonis, (right ascension
46 deg., declination 24 deg. 30) within half a
egree of its position in 1836.
The maximum, or period of greatest frequency, <
as usually occurred about 4 o'clock; but on the
r,.sent occasion, after 3 o'clock, the numbers ra-
idly increased and remained nearly uniform for t
h next three hours, averaging nearly one per
minute. s
The various meteorological instruments were r
attentively inspected during the night, but no- I
thing remarkable waa observed. The Zodiacal 3


pry eonapieao,8s in the morning sky. On the-
th, when last sees, just before the morning
awn, it presented abroad pyramid,faintly lumi-
Ius, having its vertex a little below Regulus.
Jp to the 29th ot October, the last time when,
in account of the moon, observations on it could
e made in the west after sunset, no trace of it
uld be seen. Will it in a few days withdraw
self from the east and rise rapidly in the even-
ag sky towards the constellations Capricornus
nd Aquarius?
The spots on the sun, (which some have sup-
osed to have a connexion with the zodiacal
ight,) are very remarkable at present and pecu-
iarly deserving the attention of astronomers.
yesterday (the 13th) eight distinct groups were
visible on the sun's disk, even to the smallest
telescopes. These, with larger powers, could be
solved into more than sixty distinct spots.
Yale College, Nov. 14. 0.
In noticing the shower which occurred 13th
ovember a year ago, in connexion with others
which had occurred on the same night of the
ear, for five years previous, in succession, Pro-
ssorO. stated the following as among the char-
te-ristics of the phenomenon:
" 1. The number oum-,,,vi ,l-wff xneeding.-
'^variable, is much greater than usual, especial-
of the larger and brighter kinds.
6 2. An uncommonly large proportion leave
%minous trains. I
"The meteors, with few exceptions, all ap-
,ear to proceed from a common centre, the posi-
on of which has been in nearly the same point
athe heavens, viz. in some part of the constella-
on Leo.
L 4. The principal exhibition has at all times
md at all places, occurred between midninrght
d sunrise, and the maximum from three to four
clock.
1 In all these particulars, the meteoric show-
ts of 1834, 5, and 6, c t ave resembled that of
833; while no person, so far as I have heard,
ias observed the same combination of circutn -
ances on any other occasion within the same
riod."

pITTr.APEILPHIA:
Thursday, Novenmbel" l 3, 1837

The Vice President of the United States arrived
in this city on Monday afternoon, and left town on
the following morning for the seat of government.
He had been on a visit to the eastward, and when
it was understood that he had left New York for
Philadelphia, a committee of the democratic citizens
of Kensington, and a similar body on behalf of the
democracy of the city and county, met him at Bor-
dentown, and escorted him to Kensington, where
he was received by a large concourse of citizens.
Col. Johnson and the Hon. Mr. King, of Alabama,
with the committee and other citizens, proceeded to
the hotel of Mr. Flanagan, and partook of an en-
t3rtainment which had been prepared for them, In
the evening they attended the Chesnut street Thea-
tre, and on the following morning the Vice Presi-
dent returned to Washington.

The N. Y. Courier and Enquirer and other whig
papers, now that the battle is over, are treating the
Conservatives, as they call themselves, with any
thing but cordiality and affection. The deserters
from the democratic ranks are not to receive com-
missions in the army to which they have attached
themselves, but must be content to serve as rank
and file. The Courier and Enquirer appears to


intimates that they are not to be trusted, ",having
deserted the administration party only on the most
narrow and selfish inducements." There are
quarrels in plenty in reserve fur that party which,
like Mr. Webster, "breathes freer and deeper than
they have these eight years past." The Scotch
sometimes advise those who are too noisy when tri-
bulation is coining, "to keep their breath to cool
their porridge," and the hint is perhaps applicable
to these free breathing gentry. Would it not be
better "to pause and profit by it," as Mr. Biddle
would say?

Democracy has again triumphed in this State.-

REFORM CONVENTION,
HARRISBURG, Monday, Nov. 20.
To the Editors of the Pennsylvanian :
Gontlerne Th,-This morning the Convention rn-
sum 'd the consideration ot'Mr Doran's resolution
to enquire into the expediency of annulling or al-
tering the charter of the U. S. Bank.
Mr Doran said that he had omitted to call up
his resolution on account of the pressure of the
times. He had changed his opinion with regard to
the proper course to be pursued. He intended to
call up the subject in another form. He did no
approve of the conduct of his colleague Mr McCa
hlien, in calling up the consideration. He under
stood that Mr McCahen was a military man; bu
he, Mr D. was not willing to fight under his ban
ners
Mr McCahen thought that if any member of
fered a resolution and neglected to call it up, i
was proper for any other person to do it. He di
not ask his colleague to fight under his banner
but under a higher authority, that of his constitu
ents; to whom the delegates of Philadelphia coun
ty were pledged to effect the repeal of the Ban]
Charter if it had been improperly obtained, and i
it could be justly repealed.
Mr Biddle asked whether at the present time o
general distress, it was expedient for the Conven
lion to proclaim its right to rescind every charte
with or without cause. We ought not to contain
ue agitations which cause property to fluctuate in
value.
Mr Martin thought there was no danger no:
impropriety in taking up any subject of public in
terest and throwing it before the public for theio
calm and serious consideration. There were tw(
parties in this State: one believed that this bani
charter was unfairly obtained. Whenever they
proposed to examinee the matter, an out
cry was raised that there was danger in touch
ing it. This fear and dread of touching any sub.
ject was altogether erroneous. The members o.
the democratic party in great numbers have obtain

there was no danger of these men wishing to do
any thing to impair the rights of property. He re
gretted that his immediate colleague did not fee
more disposed to urge on the ball which he had
set in motion. There was no harm in inquiry
He hoped the postponement would not carry.
Mr McCahan believed'that our Legislature could
not make a law or a contract, which a subsequent
one could not repeal. Let us inquire if it be sc
and if it be not, let us put in the Constitution
provision by which the power of repeal will be re
served.
SMr Chauncey denied the right of the Conver
tion to enter into any such inquiry. He aske
the advocates of the resolution to show the right s
to inquire, to offer any plausible ground for bh
living that this body was competent to make thi
inquiry.
Mr Brown said it was not the first time that M
Chauncey had doubted the right of this body t
act upon questions which a majority had decide
to act upon. It was necessary that we should ac
upon this. The Constitution of 1790 provide
that the rights of corporate bodies shall remain a
if the Constitution had not been altered or amended
Now the question will arise, shall that provision b
renewed? and if renewed shall it relate to all th
existing corporations, or shall some be excluded
-suppose this charter had been perpetual; woul
the people have no right ever to repeal it? If nol
it was a mockery to talk of our having a free gov
eminent. He would not live under such a gov
eminent. Call it by what name you please, it i
a despotism-a tyranny. Free government wouli
be a.solecism, an absurdity, if there were no pow
er to get rid of pernicious institutions. The ques
tion of expediency was another thing. He dim
not fear to trust the people to decide this question
they would decide it rightly.
Mr Porter said he would vote against the indefi
nite postponement. It was a matter of great im
portance. The question whether corporate privi
leges could be resumed by the Legislature was o
great importance. It was important that the
people should be assured that when corporate
rights were granted to them, they should not bt
taken away. His opinion was decidedly that the
power to create banking corporations was given to
the Legislature; that a charter was a contract
which neither party could rescind without the
consent of the other, and that this Convention did
not possess the power to repeal a charter any morn
than did the Legislature. He feared the vote tc
postpone would be misunderstood or misrepresent.
ed. He, therefore, wished an inquiry to settle the
question.
After some further debate, the question on inde.

REMARKS O1 MRt. DORAN.
Asov. 20, 1837, on the motion of Mr. .McCal
,m to proceed to the second reading and consi
ration of the resolution offered by .Mr. Dor

u- subject of the charter of the Bank of the Uni
ily States.
pe- Mr. President-I regret exceedingly that
ge-. colleague, by calling, up my resolution at this
ler auspicious time, should have placed in jeopa
its ultimate success. I do not complain of
re- want of courtesy, in calling it up without apprii
to me of his intention to do so, though the Coni
ge; tion must have perceived that such an act

Colleague, who is, I believe, a military man, on
e to have known the art of war. He ought to km
ose that prudence is as essential to the soldier as <
;ci- rage, and that every fortress is not to be carried
ver storm. Has he reflected on the subject matte
the the resolution? On its importance as a grave
des constitutional question? Is he prepared todisa
it? Has he thought of the effect of his motion
that question? On the interests of the party he
ar- I belong to, as well as on the ultimate success
ect the measure we are friendly to-the repeal of

the members will say he was right in assuming

Of consent and without my knowledge. Allow
to ask, when did I offer my resolution, and w

the and gaily. Sir, our own state, our own Penn

cubus that was weighing her and her great

mi- that none disputed or denied. Was there evi
S more propitious time to discuss the principles
ing monopolies and chartered rights? Was there ,
ce- a more propitious time to wage vwar with that
ed, neyed monster which had furtively crept into
ast sheep fold while the sentinels wilfully slumber
aive at their posts? Was there a more fitting time
the the people of Pennsylvania to resume the por
S of their sovereignty which had been taken f
he them against their will through the faithless
of their own public servants? Such was the s
ns, of things when I offered my resolution touch
ub- the charter of the Bank. But in the course c
for few short day', the bright prospect was sudden
no- changed into one of gloom and sorrow. By
stoppage of specie payments, the currency bect

the which considerations should I have desired

con- which were unanimously adopted.
d by Whereas, a war of exterminati on having b

and ability of this country, aided and urged on by sa
cuss of the ring leaders of the moneyed aristocrac]
on Great Britain, against the democracy of this co

and has not made up his mind to surrender his rig

not and the laws of our country, and to submit I

e on press his sentiments but to retain and defendI to
Ddy, death" the principles of true democracy, agai
and the dangeis of chartered monopolies, by which
a to liberties are now threatened. Therefore,
3.- Resolved, That the more we become acquaint
de- with the operations of that hateful engine of arie
ave cracy, miscalled The United States Bank,"
him more we become satisfied and convinced that i
Sto a dangerous institution, since it is under the in
my ence of foreigners-a great portion of her stock

vhat who has declared that "our first duty (mean
the the bank party) we owe to foreign nations," t
entry through the influence of that institution, the
ing, pension of specie payment by the banks was eff

joy. Resolved, That in despite of the white wash
ion, report of a Committee of the House of Represen
yore ties of this State, this meeting is nevertheless
tical pressed with a conviction, that the charter for
n.- United States Bank of Pennsylvania was obtai
the by unfair,corrupt and dishonest means-wheref
ma. we do hereby unequivocally, earnestly and de
)bly minedly, instruct the members from this district
and use their influence and best exertions towards
ntly fecting a repeal of the charter of said institution,
syl- the coming session of the Legislature.
Sin- Resolved, That sad experience teaches us t
re. under our present rotten banking system, our co
cess try is neither safe in its free institutions, nor(
er a we enjoy any permanent prosperity, inasmi
s of as it throws the power into the hands of the ,
ever nagers of said institutions to regulate the prices
me- all the necessaries of life,as well as fixing the vs
the of real estate, not to mention the power wh
ered they have in collecting and hoarding in tt
for vaults, nearly all the silver and gold in the co
lion try, and thereby causing a flood of irredeems
rom shin plasters and other rag money to overflow
hess country,-wherefore, we do hereby further instr
tate our members in the State Legislature, to ex
ling themselves in procuring such alterations in
of a present banking system as will efectually ret
inly dy the evils now complained of, and especially
the oppose with all their might, every effort that n
ame be made in the Legislature towards sustaining
9 of banks in their unwarrantable suspension of ape
the payments.
ap- Resolved, That all stockholders in banks sho
iwn be made responsible in their real and personal
At tate, for the debts of the banks in which they h
Sto stock; and that the law making such a provisi

ex- ping round the stump" could be well effected in

to holder, from the moment he becomes the owner
f all the stock.
