This body assembled at the Executive office, in this City, on Thursday last present, Messrs. Hawkins, Stowe, Trol linger, Kenan, Holmes, and Love. Tbe vacancy in the Council, occasioned by the resignation of Willinm Badham, Esq., of Chowan, was filled by the appointment of Dr. Richard Dillard, of the same County. The Hoard of Internal Improvements, which met on the same day, having made the State's subscription of $000,000 to the North Carolina Western Railroad Company, in accordance with the provisions of the charter, the Governor and Council appointed the following Directors on the part of the State in said Road: A.

Raleigh Standard. A Magnificent Sciikmf.. Captain Allen, of the British Navy, proposes to make some thing useful out of the Arabian Desert, now j a waste of sand. He argues that it has! b?e:i once an ocean, is now 1300 feet below j the level of the Mediterranean, and that if a canal were cut from the head of the Gulf of jAkabato the Dead sea, and another from the Mediterranean, across t he plain Esdrae I Ion, to the fissure iu the mountain range of ljcnunon, Hie .Mediterranean would rnsli 111, with a fall of 1300 feet, fill up the valley, and substitute an ocean of 2000 square miles in extent, for a barren, useless desert, thus j making the navigation to India as short as the overland route, spreading fertility over a now arid country, and opening up the fertile regions of Palestine to settlement and cultivation. This is certainly a nmgnilicent idea If, in the course of time it were found that the ocean scheme did not pay, the canal could be stopped up, the wa ter pumped out, as the Hollanders recently did with one of their lakes, and a fine fertile plain would be found ready for cultivation. A New Thkoky of Hkat fi?om tiie Scn. A writer in the Washington Intelligencer, refer ring to the various theories of the generation of heat by the sun, proposes the following, which appears to be as rational as any which preceded it : We know that when that portion of the earth 011 which we happen to be is turned to wards the sun, we have heat; and that its in tensity is in proportion to the directness of the rays; that is to say, to their striking at an angle, more approaching to a rightful angle; the general surface of the place where we are, and that this heat is felt in less degrees if we ascend high above the general surface. From ! tliis it is manifest, 1 think, that the heat we j derive from the sun is consequent upon some j mysterious action of its rays on"the matter of our atmosphere, (call it chemical action for j want of a more appropriate name,) and that ! intensity depends not only upon the angle at j which these rays pass through our atmosphere, 1 but also upon the density or tleptn 01 atmos inhere. At the level of the sea, where the depth, and consequently density of the atmos-j 1 phere are greatest on a mountain, where these i are diminished the heat is less. I Now if we suppose each of the planets of our j system to have an atmosphere like our own, j and of a depth proportionate to their magnitude : wc can suppose all of them to be inhabitable. , The asteroids and moon by this theory can have j but little depth of atmosphere, and consequent j ly very little general heat. i - . Execution- of a Hoy. The execution of (the boy Frank, for the murder of Rev. J. J. j Weems, took place on Friday, August 24th, at Alexandria, La. It is strange to say, that the majority of the citizens of Alexandria, and, in j fact, the inhabitants all round, were anxious to i see him executed; and on the fatal day, when it. i came to pass, there was not a dozen people ; there!- Some drove forty miles to witness this ' dreadful drama, but he was executed and buried ; by the time they came to Alexandria.. On the ; day before he was called to face death, some i sientlenien visited him, and propounded ques tions to him; hut his answers were, and could be no other than childish. He was, I believe, only ten years old. The gentlemen told him the Sheriff was to hang him on the next morn ing and asked him what he thought of it, and whether he had made his peace with tod, and why he did not pray His answer was- I have been hung many a time: lie was, at tlie time, amusing himself with some marbles he had in his cell! He was playing all the time in jail, never once thinking that death was soon to claim him as his victim. To show you how a child's mind ranges, when about to die, I will mention that, when upon the scaffold he beg ged to be permitted to pray which was grant ed and then he commenced to cry! Oh! what a horrible sight it was! Exchange Paper. The above story sounds rather improbable. Apples as an Aktici.f. of Food. With us the value of the apple as an article of food is far underrated. Besides containing a large amount of sugar, mucilage, and other nutriti ous matter, apples contain vegetable acids, aromatic qualities, &c, which act powerfully in the capacity of refrigrants, tonics and antisep tics; and when freely used at the time of mel low ripeness, they prevent debility, indigestion, and avert, without doubt, many of the "ills which flesh is heir to." The operators of Cornwall, England, consider ripe apples nearly as nourishing as bread, and far more so than potatoes. In the year 1801 which was a year of much scarcity apples instead of being converted into cider, were sold to the poor: and the laborers asserted that they could "stand their work" on baked apples without meat, whereas a potato diet required meat or some other substantial nutriment. The French and Germans nse apples extensively; as do the inhabitants of all European nations. The la borers depend upon them as an article of food and frequently make a dinner of sliced apples and bread. There is no fruit cooked iu as many different ways, in our country, as apples; nor is there any fruit whose value, as an arti cle of nutriment, is as great and so little ap preciated. Smith, the razor-strap conTert to spiritualism!" man, has . become a Sbipciug of tbe Vrld. A late English paper publishes a lengthy article upon the shipping of the world; a por tion of the facts are very full of interest which induces us to collate a part for the paper. It is worthy of notice to what large extent Great Hritain and the United States have monopoli zed the carrying trade, and how nearly our own country has approached Great Hritain in the commercial supremacy of the seas, and how very certain the fact that in a few years wc shall have completely outstripped her. The tnfnl M..;,, ,..,.,...... ..( ii. ..1,1.. ..:..:i:..,i ,, , . r Vo 1 i n I world, exclusive of China and the East, con- sists of about 136,000 vessels of 14,500,000 tons. Of this tonnage,, some 9,7t8, 172 belongs to Great Britain and the United States, so that, excluding these two great maritime na tions, the total commercial tonnage of the re mainder of the civilized world is but 4,500,000, or less than that which either Great Hritain or the United States individually possess. France comes next in the scale, and is insignificant in comparison, its total .tonnage being 1 1 0,000 tons against 5,043,270 for great Hritain and 4,724,902 for the United States. Italy and Sardinia come next to France, next stands Holland, Prussia, Spain, Norway, and Sweden. The entrances and clearances of Great Hri tain for the year 1854, amounted to 42,573, 3(i2 tons, and the United States for the same period 40,000,000 tons. .!. !... . . e . a. t- o" v. .... 1 .am seen s u.e largest, 111 u e worm, ine same paper admits that it will be surpassed by that of the L mted .States, winch mis aiijriuentei iuiiy oue-iniru since isau. 1 lie accurate ton nage oT the entrances and clearances of Ameri can vessels cannot be given as authoritatively as in the case with regard to Hritish vessels, because the returns are not kept with the same official exactness. Hence, the above total set down on the American side is to some extent a supposition, but there is good reason to believe it is not overstated, and rather that the ad ditional dispatch with which American vessels are freighted, and the accelerated speed with which they perforin their voyages, has not been fully allowed for iu toe estimate. The tonnage of the ships is officially' stated, and shows the aggregate of American to be but one-sixteenth less than the Hritish. This fact, when taken in connection with the infancy of our marine, and its present rapid increase, shows how short will be the time required to overbalance the advantages which Great Hritain now possesses, and to place the L'nited States foremost in the rank of Commercial nations. Hor.sE-SnoE Without Nails. Mr Sewall Short of Loudon, Ct., is about introducing on the feet of a considerable number of stage-1 horses iu this city a new style of horse shoe lately invented by him, and which has now ecu some three months 111 experiment, both in , , .1 .1 1 . il mi ; cay ana country, witn tlie best results. llie object is to avoid the necessity of driving nails in the hoofs of the animals, a practice always more or less objectionable, and only submitted to from imperious necessity, and which frequent ly, from misplacing a nail, or splitting a hoof, renders a horse useless, at least for a time. The invention meets with the highest favor from the jockeying profession one experienced stage-driver enthusiastically affirming that it would immediately increase the value of horses one-third. Hy the census of 1850 there were five millions of horses in the United States, and assuming them to be worth on an average about $(0 apiece, the credit to which ventor is entitled becomes measurable the ln- in t.'o-i lars to the tune of about 100 millions for each generation of horses. .mi- onori, is not me urst y, no .as npieu to clamp the shoe to the foot w.thont nails, but is the first to do it in tins simple effective man-j ner. He makes the whole in two pieces, em-, lilovinsr. in addition, two small screws to aid m 1 ., . ' r, , serewnig the parts together. Both are made e li i i - .- , , of malleable iron; the lower portion, or sole, , . . - i . .i l i i- J employed, but with a groove around groove around its ex terior, and without nail-holes. Ine upper por- tion, or "vamp," is thin, and has a flange pro-! jecting inward from its lower edge, to match i tlie groove in the sole.

Baden-Baden, which has! been so long one of the temples of folly, would seem if the chronicle of the place which the newspapers supply may be trusted to have ta ken a tone and temper at once moral and prac tical. The code of the gaming table, is, ap parently falling from its authority, with the threatened disposition of the gaming table it self. Two strangers, an Englishman and a Prussian, quarrelled, according to a very com mon incident, over their play, and agreed in the usual course to fire at one another, as the recognized means of settling a dispute. The Englishman was so lucky as to win the first fire, and so unlucky as to miss his adversary. The latter had only now to shoot his man at his ease, and prepared to take his aim accordingly, when the Englishman cried out, "Stop, stop; I'll buy your shot." The first impression made was that of the novelty of the proposal the second, that it contained the preliminaries ; of a mutually profitable transaction. The condi tions of the arrangement were accordingly en tered upon; and the two leading elements were, that the Englishman was rich; and the Prus sian a good shot. The redemption was valued at 1,000, and the parties returned to the city, alike satisfied, with their bargain. The case was worth reporting, and wc are glad it was the Englishman who set the first example of this clear insight into the rationale of duelling. i-At.ieaa'envm. Tbe The Fuu or a Season at Sen port, Financially Cen sidcrct!. Correspondence of the Providtnce Journal. Newport, September,' 15, 1855. In my last I alluded to the extravagant ex penditure in this place during the season. You may ask for some estimate of the whole amount 1 li .t changes hands in the course of the six weeks that the city is densely crowded, but no means are afforded 111c to obtain the necessary information, and as any calculation that I might make would have no sound basis, it is hardly-worth while to deal in guess work, i . - ..6 . . It may. however, prove interesting to know into what channels the money brought here falls; and with tin's iu hand every one can make au estimate of the amount necessary to cover ex penses in his particular case should he decide to visit Newport next season. I We will suppose t he parties to be a gentle ! man and his wife, without servants or children, I and disposed to live economically, yet enjoy in a reasonable way the means at their disposal. They arrive at one of the leading hotels the last of July or the first of August, and occupy a room engaged July 1st, paying for it from that time nt the rate of forty-two dollars a week. The trunks are put under the bed, dresses and coats are hung on the vacant spaces on the walls, and a day or two is occupied in storing awav all the traps, so as to leave room for one to pass without disturbing Madame's whalebone skirts too much.

Bathing is first to be consider ed. Avoiding the expense of a hack, two seats, up and down, in an omnibus, fifty cents; twenty-five cents each for a car, and as much more for the hire of suitable dresses in all nine dollars a week. Two concerts, tickets a dollar ' each; also a carriage twice a week to ride over the island and visit the most attractive points; at eignt dollars each ride; and five dollars for excursions on the water which last is extreme ly moderate, and will not admit of fishing. A couple of suppers a week at the "Jungle," for (husband, and a carriage on the same nights for wife to take tea at the cottages, twenty dollars. And we might add to this by the hour, but j here is over a hundred dollars a week, without I going into excess; to which must be added, in j the run of the season, ten dollars for "hops," lany number of tens for shooting galleries, bow j ling saloons, fishing excursions, an occasional dinner to friends, at Downing's, (well serred j and well charged,) entrance fee at the club house, (if so fortunate sa to get admittance at nil.") wines, segars. &e. to say uothtng of the ' ; ' .. . .. . i. necessary outlav in the way of an outfit suita- j tile for ail occasions so that the expense of a i couple For ten weeks, if they would enjoy the nmnscments ollered, and indulge iu tbe luxury of bathing, riding, sailing and eating, may safe ly be set down at not less than two thousaud dollars. Hundreds spend that amount in less than half that time; and when a man is blessed with a large family, composed in a great part of marriageable daughters, the extent to which the trapping is carried, is beyond all calcula tion, lo escape the enormous bids thus run up at a hotel, "pa" rents a cottaae at the mod erate rate of one thousand or twelve hundred dollars for the season; engages servants, trots I out in his own carriage, sends for the butcher i and the baker, and, having made all his ar- frQ- whid) .- qhW arousA-on learilil)g from j b:inkcr thflt thJ j,rafts al).eadv honold wi abgorb Q)e Qf h;- fiiest estates IIlIldreiL vearlv visit a Witering placc wbo, . ,, . - . i j ! can hardly sustain themselves at home, and ex- i , ., , ,, , - .

This all re sults from a vain desire to imitate those who, having wealth at command, live in an extrava gant and reckless manner, doing themselves and others much injury, and often bringing about tlie most serious results. True enjoyment at a watering place should consist in throwing off alike the cares and , restra;llts of a cit.. Ijfe. The m;Ild and the bodyr thtls relaxed, recover their wonted strength- fitting the man to enter with greater zeal and renewed energies upon the duties of : life. But as it is, the city is literally brought to the country. We have the same etiquette, the same rontine of fashionable follies, the same riged laws of society, and the whole heightened ! by greater dissipation, greater extravagance. and a series ot absurdities mat would not be admissible at home. The enjoyment is uot real, but artificial ; bathing is not resorted to for health, but because it is fashionable; others ride, and so we ride: and the same arbitrary laws govern nil our movcmeut3 till the time comes for us lo leave. The gayer portion, like the swallows that all summer share with them the piazza at the hotels, take their flight in a body, leaving the; island to those who know how to appreciate the privilege of passing the season here. When all are gone the balance is struck. "With the hotels it is not always oil the side of profit, for their expenses are always very heavy, and the seasons afe so in climes short; but with nearly ail the others who snpply the wants of the thousands who come here, the gain is sufficient, to satisfy a reasonable mind. Aqcidkeck. According to a late decision of the County Court for Wake county, Hon. George E. Bad- . ger presiding, whenever a magistrate hears pro fane language, lie is authorized to fine the of fender twenty-five cent6 for each oatb or curse; and it makes no difference that the Justice is not at the time in the execution of his office. From his decision adjudging the fine there lies r.o appeal. Appeals are grautable under tho statute where there are "partits" only,' and there nre uo "parties" to show such a proceed ing. If every jnagistrate in North Carolina would do his duty in this respect, the odious and abominable practice of profane swearing, now so common, would soon be greatly lcafcuiK ed, if not entirely alfcllslred.
