EDUCATION IN KENTUCKY. Tha superintrndentof Public lustrsction in Kentucky slated in his last report, that in a cer tain County of the State out of fifteen Grand Jurors, the Judge could not find ono whom he might appoint foreman; also that in a collection of sotne forty or fifty persons accidentally on Ycuod in a country tavern, not one could be fuund who could give his signature as a witness loa hand. He furthermore stated that in 1830 (here were in the commonwealth 140,000 chil dren of proper agas to be at school; and that in lunclast the whole number al school was only shout 32,000. Tlieso statements having gives occasion to soma expression of incredulity, the superinten dent has published in several ot the Kentucky papers proofs in confirmation of his assertions. In reference to the last mentioned particular he gives later statistics obtained, we presume, by the recent census. It is slated that in 1840 there were 175,000 children between the ages of Sand 15, of whom onalhe Crsl of June, only 3'2,9T)4 were at school.

Noth ing ii taken for granted; every step is prov ed by experiment, and confirmed by ob servation, on an extenaive scale, and ihe whole subject connected together by a theory so simple as to command the assent of his hearers. , The lecture yesterday eve ning week wai devoted lo the la vine- down of those fundsmeotsl principles en which the theory of storm, rests. Mr. Espy said he had beeen led to in stigate the subject many year, ago, from having seen Ihe discovery of our great countryman, Dr.Diltou, as lo the absolute quantity of moisture contained in atmos pheric air at diflvient temperatures, and that, by applying this discovery, and pro ceeding from it, he had been led to the adoption of hi. view, in regard to atmos pheric phenomena. He stated aa funda mental facts, l.L That atmospheric air contain, a certain quantity of water, in the late of vapor or steam, snd that the quan tity varies with the tempature. 2d. That Ibis vapor contsin. a large quantity of la tent heat, which is given out and becomes 1 Nl). c. sensible when the vapor is bv any means condensed into water. 3d. That the emperaturc ol the atmosphere varies in a certain lalio from below upwards, and ilut experiment had proven this variation to be 1 Fanrenheit lor about every hun dred yards of asceti'. 4lh.

That air, whea. suddenly vpaTrdetrbj DeTirgHrfTeir up, into a reurcr, atHtoxphere, becomes colder,, and deposites pi. rt of its moisture in the form of clouds. These propositions were illontrated by eipTiment and known facts, and Irom (uetn Mr. Epy, laid down the genera! thejry nf the formation or tloiids and currents of air.
