At the Srintilio Convention in session at Montreal, "the iiithicncc of the C?ulf Stream upon the Suiiiiner ( Tmmto tl". - Coast," was the subject of a paper read l>v , Dr. Wynne.

The eHcct of this configuration of the bottom of the ocean over the temperature of the water is clear ami uueipiivo- i cal. The (Julf Stream is hot shown lobe one uniform mass of waun water, pursusing a northeasterly direction along tlie coast at < a pretty unifuru dUtaue-: from it, hut a series of hands of warm water interspersed with colder ones.

Murry. I Kroin the date llius afforded, (lie doctor . proceeded to detail the eonr.se of the prevailing winds on the sea coast of tlie I'nited States at the different points, dining each of the summer months, and thence drew the following deductions: Tlie usual direction of the lighter summer breezes on tlie Atlantic is from the south and southwest, directly over the currents of warm water composing the (lull Stream. These ! winds are, for tlie most part, gentle, balinv, exhilcratiug, and peculiarly happy, in theii influence upon the h'liuan body. Those from tlie north and east, on the contrary, are violent, raw and depressing. While i the former should be courted by the invalid, the latter should be assiduously avoided. J It bv no means follows that the wind on shore is the same ns that upon the ocean ; a very slight obstruction, as a range of intervening hills or indentations of the coast, | may leave any particular situation in calm. orsuhj:c.t to tliu influence of a less gratulul wind, while the whole mi face of water is swept liy a delightful air from the south or southwest. An illustration of this is given in llic Highlanders of Xevasink, situated a sliurt distance behind the lighthouse oil Sa dy Hook, l'oint. The highlands arc shut oft" from the south- j westerly ocean winds by a small promouto- ; ry, the effect of which is to render the air j IIjion the sheltered localities calm and op- i pressivc, while on the Sandy point directly in front, and scarcely more tlimi a stone's throw distant, it is agitated hy a halinv and refreshing breeze. A similar effect produced hy the contiguralion of Long Island, may be noticed by the traveller from New York to Now London via New llaven. No ; matter how oppressive the atmosphere may I 1 | 4* I \' * * ? ? uu tx'ioi'o icacmng *>ew iiaven, no is almost certain to l>e met l>y a delightful ocean air from the southwest a few miles east of that point, which siccompaul s iiim on his ! passage to New Loudon. The greatest nilvantage, so far as air is concci ued, in these Atlanticftunrnar resort*, is a free exposure : to the South and South-west winds, and a i corresponding protection tiom those of the i North and North-wosl.

This ?.>xp?-iimeiiL was tried ' several limes witli the sainu result,and when at length llerrspoke to him, his rage knew ' no bound, leaping at the bars, he dashed his paws out to tear hint, and only ceased ' when his old ma-ter walked out of his sight. 1 "The m*xt place we were desired tore- ' move to was the laige. cage containing a large | ' lion, two leopards and a lioness. We | ' mention tiiciu thus as it is theorderin which ' they stand in the cage, it being divided ; ] into apartments. As llerr approached this i cage the lioness caught sight of him, and ' her eyes beamed with pleasure, while her ' tail wagged a glad recognition. On his ! coming up to her she appeared frantic, with 1 joy, and when he spoke to her and pre- 1 sented his face to the cage, she kissed him, 1 and placed her paw in his hand with all 1 the air of an intense satisfaction.
