We heartily endorse it: To the Editor of the Whig: I was very gla< to see youv suggestion in last Friday's Whii in reference to sending supplies to our nobli soldiers, so that they might have a good Christ mas dinner.

Surprise has bee expressed that vessels going to Sebastopol tak a smallei cargO than if they were going to Oon stantirople, or that they diminish their earg in the latter port before entering the lilac sea. The tcason is this?the density of the wate in different seas is more or loss considerable and the vessels sailing in them siidc more o less, according to their density/. The dens't arises from the quantity of/salt contained i the'watcr; and consequently, the saltier the sc is, the less a vessel sinks'in it. As, Loo, th anOrc sail a vessel carries the deeper she pene trates the water, it follows that the more sal the" water, the'greater the quifritity of sail tha can be carried. s Now,'as the Black sea is sixteen times les salt t^an'the Mediterranean, a vessel which goe Toulon or Marseilles for Sabastopol must talc a smaller cargo than one that only goes to Con stantinoplc, and still a smaller one if it is to en ter the sea' of A/.off, which is eighteen time lcss^s'alt than the Mediterranean. The Mediterranean ' is twice as salt as tin Atlantic, once more than the Adriatic, five lime more than "the Caspian sea, twelve times inon than lkVlohian'sens,*an'd seventeen times mor< than the sea-of Marmora. ' / Tlib'Dead''sea contains more salt than' anj othor sea.
