Waskincton Screntiric Assoctation.—At one of the regular meetings of this association held on Thursday evening, at the lecture room the Medical C; , (upper hall.) a paper was read by Mr. John A. Fowle, one of the directors of the association, on the ‘‘ Climate of the Cen- adas.”” [t was submitted by a French Priest of Quebec. The paper gave a brief statement of the winter climete Prcaneda for the pasttwo hundred and thirty years, quoting from —- Cautier, Father Bressain, dharlevautz, and others, toshow that the winters now are as severe as in the i6tb, 17th, and 18th centuries. Healso claimed toshow that clearing the lands had not modified the climate of Canada. [t was an interesting paper, and gave rise to some discussion. Mr. Fowle said, in submitting the paper, be differed from the author in bis conclusiens, and also thought bis statement of facts was not en- tirely correct in the contrast of northern winters of the 15th and 19th centuries. The speaker gave an account of the difference of the winters of Europe and America in the same latitude; that of Eurepe in the latitude of New England and Canads being mild, while on this centinent it is often quite severe. This difference the speaker Bccounted for because of the immense fields of | fee directly north of America, covering all the lakes and rivers on the northera part of this con- ; tinent, consequently our northerly winds, as well as those from the northeast northwest, are very cold. in Europe the fields of ice are farther north, and the ——— winds in the winter season are of a different temperature from ours, being affected by the warmth of the Gulf stream, ; which leaves our continent and sets its course eastward. Mr. Fowler doubted the statement tbat the forest clearings bad juced no effect in the severity of the winter. In New England and New York be heh ng it was very perceptible, and we can account for the change of temperature in our wiaters during the past fifty years in no other way. He made statewents relative to the great change during two centuries of the winter season in Germany and parts of Europe, to prove that the clearing of a vast extent of country from its forests make the temperature higher. Mr J Disturnell, of New York, also made an interesting statement of facts relative to winter temperature; and the members discussed the merits of the Low It ts expected by the association that Prof. Henry, of the Smithsonian Institute, will read a po at the next regular meeting of the associ- ation.

They were captured at the battle of Bull Run (whete both were wounded) and carried to Richmond, and, after a time, successively to Castle Pinckney, Columbia, S.C., and other Con- federate prisons, and some time ago returned to Richmond and confined, with about 500 other prisoners, in a building occupied formerly bys man named Libby, as a pork-packing establish- ment. They left Richmond isst Phursdey morning in charge of Lieut. Lewis, of Gen. Winder’s staff, and, after being blindfolded, conveyed per rail- road toa station which their guard said was the Summit. They were here lifted out of the cars and into an ambulance. From the tramping and shuffling which they heard, and other noises, they were inclined to think that there was large crowd gathered In and around the station; but not being allowed to ask any questions, they can only guess at this. They were carried a ride of about two or three hours in the ambulance, when they came to a sudden halt by the ambulance breaking down. Lieut. Barawell (of a South Carolina regiment) who had taken them in charge at the summit, offered them his arm, and marched them half a mile through a wood, where he removed the bandages, and told them he did not think they could reach the Federal lines that night, and that there would bea fight upon the very ground they were standing upon. At this moment 2 courier came up with a dispatch to Lieut. Bern- well, who again blindfoiding his prisoners, re- turned to where the ambulance broke down, end impressing a cart into the service, put the prison- ers therein, with their backs to the horses, and started off towards the Federal lines, arriving at Gen. McDowell's headquarters that night. They passed on the way some soldiers, and they thought also some artillery. They report that on last Saturday nighta large meeting wes held in Richmond to decide what should be done with the city on thearrival of the Federals. The property holders and most sub- stantial men of the city favored asurrender, while those who had no interest there, and generally blacklegs and thieves, were rampant for burn- ing it. Captain Farrish thinks there isa very strong Union feeling tn Richmond. Every corner ts nightly pasted thick with Union sentiments and mysterious writings, which alarm the secession- ists very much. On last Saturday, end all day Sunday, there ‘was much excitement in the city, and troops were being rapidly sent cif; while all the artil- lery that had been sent south of Richmond some time previous, was hurriedly brought back and shipped nortb. From all that our informants could learn, the Confederates evidently intended attacking Gen. McDowell that night (Thursday), and a large force was hurried off from Richmond for that pur ¥ ‘The Confederates at Richmond have every ve- hicle and cart engaged, busily hauling stones and filling them in the canal and al other boats, for the purpose of sinking them in the James river, on the approach of the Federal fleet. A man named William Churchill deserted from the Ist Ohio cavalry, and joined the Confederate service. He was piaced as one of the guards over * the prisoners, and was the mest merciless and brutal of all the sentinels—taking ever opportunity to offer them insult, and even firing upon them for simply looking out of the window. Capt. Farrish intends reporting this case to the War Office. They also report that there is aman named Emack, a lieutenant in the rebel service, who formerly lived in Washington, and whose father still resides here. This man has frequently boasted that he passed through the Federal lines at the time of the Bull Run fight, and taking a musket, amused bimeelf picking off Federal soldiers. Both Lieut. Dempsey and Capt. Far- trish bave heard him assert that he bas frequent communication with his father, who lives in Washington, and that he knowsall that is going on within the Federal lines Lieut. Dempsey says, that a Lieut. Daniels, of the Confederate service, was allowed to yo to Richmond, many months ago, for the purpose of effecting his (Dempsey’s) exchange. Daniels, however, after he got there, paid no attention to ‘he matter; but entered again tuto the Confede- rate service, and was acting therein while Lieut. Dempsey, whom he should, eccording to his pa- role, have had released, was lying in prison. THE SITUATION. The presumed exigencies of the public service atthis particular juncture, are of course at the bottom of the barrenness of the columas of all newspapers to-day, in details of news vf military ma‘ters; nothing whatever being permitted to get into the press of that character. We, however, doubt not that the Government here have late information from each army corps in reach by telegraph, which we have reason to believe embraces, in every case, satisfactory news. A CANARD. It is not believed in high military circles here that any considerable portion of the rebel army on the Peninsula has succeeded in escaping across James river. This opinion is of course founded on 2 knowledge (by telegraph) ef facts of recent occurrence in that quarter, not yet made public. PrrsonaL.—Hon. J. 8. Phelps of Mo., arrived in this city yesterday. Capt. J. A. Farrish, of the 79:h New York Volunteers, and Lieut. J.W. Dempsey, of the 24 New York State Militis, who were taken prisoners at Manassas by the Rebels and confined at Richmond, arrived yesterday, and are at Brown's. Gens. Sturgis, Seymour and Carl Schurz, U. 8. Aj; Capt. Bailey, Com’r Boggs and Capt. 8. A. Waterbury, U. 8. N.; and Hiram Barney, collec- tor of the port of New York, are at Willard’s.

Hampton Koads, Va_, May 9, 1862 i His Excellency the President cf United States—Sir: Agreenbly to a communication just received from (he Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, I bave the honor to report the instructions I gave yester- day to the officers commanding the several ves- sels detailed to open fire upon Sewell’s Point were that the object of the move was to ascertain the practicability of landing a body of troops thereabout, and to reduce the works if It could be done; that the wooden vessels should attack the principal works in enfilede, and thet the Mon- itor, to be accompanied by the Stevens, shoulé go upes faras the wreck, and there operate in front. On the Merrimac’s eppearance cutside of the wrecks, the Monitor bad orders to fall beck into fair channel way, and only to engage ber ee riously in such a position, that thisship, together with the merchant vessels intended for the pupose, could run her down if an opportunity presented itself. The other vessels were not to hesitate to rna ber down, and the Baltimore, an unarmed steamer of light draft, high speed, and with a curved bows was kept in the direction of the Monitor, ex- Pressly to throw herself across the Merrimac either forward or aft of her plated house. But the Merrimac did not engage the Monitor, nor did she place herself where she could have been asse'led by our ram vessels to any advantage, or where there was any prospect whatever. My instructions were necessarily verbal, and ja giving them I supposed I was carrying out your wishes in substance, if not to the letter. The demonstration resulted in establishing the fact that the number of guns at the principal work on Sewell’s Point bas been essentially re- duced, and !s not greater now than about 17; and that the number of men stationed there is quite limited. The quarters connected with this work Were set on fire by our shells and no doubt se- riously Injured. J am, very respectfully, your ob’t serv’t, L. M.
