SCIENCE OF MZAEOROLOGY. A Theory tor the Louw of the City of Boston. Dr. W. F. Thoms delivered a lecture on the above Subject last evening at the New York Nautical School, 92 Madison street, The lecturer explained that the Science of meteorology treated of air, wind, rain and everything relating to the atmos- phere, and regretted that so little attention had been directed to it during the present century. Hur- ricanes were the result of the atmosphere, which, when violently heated, revolved around a centre or focus with the greatest force, scattering ruin and destruction in their train, In this respect a know- ledge of the science of metereology would be of incalculable beneft, and wouid tend to save life and property. The lectnrer then proceeded to account for tt pas of the City of Boston. He had carefully read and examined the logs of the dierent steamers who faced the terrible sworms whic City of Boston encountered, and as they had ved safe and resorted ‘to the most approved methods to render a safe voyage possible, he was of opinion that = when the hurricane arose the Captain of the City of Boston ran his steamer before the wind, instead of heaving toashe ought to have done, and was therefora swamped. The London and the Evening Star were both — lost under somewhat siinilar — gon- ditions, and there was harily @ doubt but what that was a true solution of the fate of the ti It was with great reluctance that the mers would do anything, even when ‘cumstances of danger, to retard their ; for all they thought of was to make as quick @ passage us possible, no matter what consequences ight ensue.)
