besides other trees % and sbrubs in great variety.\u201d May not large tracts of the Peninsula of Sinai have been highly cultivated in former daye, when it was iuhabited by a more numerous and more intellectual and industrious people, than the Arabs are, which now dwell there?According to Moucouys, even as late us the seventeenth century.the Plain or Rabsh In front of the convent, which is now altogether bare, was then * une grande \u201c champague verte\u201d\u2014\u201c a vast green plain.\u201d (Journal de Voy, 420.) ; I think enough las been said, to satisfy the most fastidious, that Dr.Colenso's objection, ss to the possibility of a sufficient quastity of wood being obtained in the wilderness to supply the Israelitee, is altogetber futile ; I may, therefore, in the next place, proceed to examine, whether his objections as to the supply of water, is founded on more solid grounds.The sacred narrative nowhere alludes to tho supply of wood, and from this sil-nge itself, it may be Inferred, that It was fond in sufficient quantity throughout the Desert.Not so, however, with regard to water : in some places it was either not at ail to Le bad, or did uot exist in aufficient quantity, aud henoe the Sacred Writer informs us how it was obtained, namely, by immediate intervention of the Deity.I is recorded, tbat in threo places the water wna supplied by miracle, and therefore we may without b.sitation assume, that in all other plinces it was obtained from natural sources; for had 't , been otherwise, surely, water would have been provided ultogether by miracle, the same ns manna for food.Bat God does not exercise itix almighty power as long ne the oljeot may be obtained bv natural means.Whee the Israclites came to Marab\u2014a bitter fountaia\u2014they conld vot driuk its water, aud began to murmar again: Moses ; bub did God provide go A water for them by a miracle?No, be showed Moses \u2018un sree,\u201d Exud.Iv, 25, which, when ho had cart some of it lato the water It heeame sweet, The fountain obtaiged Its mame Marah, sigoifying bitierness, and Is now by the vatives called Hewarah : {to water is still bitter, and is co.sidered by tho Arabs as the worst water in the whole Peninsula.The Hebrew word ets, ron- dered in the Eaglish version \u201caires,\u201d denotes both n tgce-vaad Wood\u2014 without seferonde as t) .\u2018 \u2019 - Hans es Bae nu any partionist species, Tt ls.however, worthy of notice, that in the Peninsula of Sinai there is frequently mes with a small thorny shrub, called by the Arabe + Ghurkud,\" which bears a fruit noluething Lke the burberry, very jaley but somewhat acid.This shrub is particularly tound to grow around all the brackish or bitter fountains.Now, way oot the lsralits, us Burch.hardt has suggested, bave used © the juice of ¢ {tes berries,\u2019 or what I think wore in neeotds ance with the signification of the Hebrew wotd.ets, the wood of the shrub to render tue waler more palatable.Thus providence seems to have provided an cary remedy to rend-r there bitter tountsins useful to the fabavitauts or travellers that may cbunce to pass thet way.From the silence of the sacred narrative as to the supply of water, except in the three places where it is recorded to hiave been miraculously procured, we may reasonably conclude that no want of it was experienced elsewhere.And this supposition is put beyond doubt by the fact already alluded to\u2014namely, thut the Peninsula was tien inhabited by \u2018the Amalckites aud Midianites, besides other Arab tribes, | would ark Dr.Colenso from whence did they obtain their supply of water?Daring the 3.000 yours that have elapsed, wells and springs muy have heen dried up-\u2014cisterns may have been tilled by the drifting sands of the derert ; but that these nations dwelled there at thst time, is nn inda- bitable fact, recorded in tbe puges of history.which neither time nor the action of the clements could effuce, been furnished to the inhabitants of the Desert, and heuce also to the Israelites, as well as to the cnravans that coosfuntly passed that way, by springs wells or fountains, and cieturns.in Exodus ii.15, we are told that Moses fled from Pharoah, \u201c and dwelt in the land of Midian ; and he rat down by 6 well.\u201d said that tbe Israclites * came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water.\u201d In the Enst, c'e terns have beca extensively employed, from the encliest times, In gathering up water, and are trequeatly meutioned In Scripture, na well as by travellers.The pit in which Joseph war cast by his brethren wae an empty cistern, \u2014the Hebrew word bor signifies both a cistern and a pit.Dr.Rohlason assures ua that \u201c the mais dependence of Jerusalem at the present day is on jis cisterns: and this has probably been always thr case.\u201d In order to give the reader some idea how the wells and cisterns, in which the ancient inhabitants of the Peninsula collected rain water, may live disappeared, by being filled up with sand, 1 need only mention that the extremity of the Gulf of Suez is gradually filling up from the constant drifting in of the sand from the north.cru part of the desert plain.In former days vessels could Iny at Kolum.about one third of u nile north of the town of Suez ; vow, they cannot approach the place.Whilet the Israclites encamped at Mount Sinai there was no difficulty in obtaining a sufileient supply of water; travellers all sgree that it ie abundant in this mouatainous region.1 may further remark, thut Moses, during the long period that be kept the flocks of Jethro in this neighborhood, bad often wandered over these mountuing, sod was, thererore, well acquainted with the entire locality.And wien the lrraelites departed from Sinai, Moses prevailed upon Hobab, ble brother-in-law, to cnst in his lot with the people of God, and afford them the benefit of his thorough acquaintance with the wiliterness.« Leave us not, 1 pray thee,\u201d suid Moses, * foras- much 8 thou knowest how we ure to enzamp in the wilderness ;

tie second, cxtend- ing upward, along Champlau stieet, from the Chumiplain market to the western the Upper Town market ; the fourth section branching off the market, out by St.John street, towards St.Foy tollgate ; und the fifth extending parallel to the fourth, along St.Louis strect and the Grand Allee.A number of geatlemen present, then entered into a discussion on the practicability of the enterprise ; wud a resolution was adopted, recommending the construction of a street railway in Quebee, aud the formation of a compuny for that purpose\u2014the work, at present, to be limited to the line between Lower Town and St.Rocl\u2019s.A committee was also appointed, with instructions to adopt the necessary measures to secure the formation of à compuny.The Daily News very justly observes, that there ave many reasons why street railways in Quebec would he an unprofitable undertaking, In the first place, the city is ill adapted for their construction ;

EE PETROLEUM.(From the Cincinnati Gazette.) In 1859, Mr.Drake of Titusville, at the Forks of Oil Creek, conceived the plan of get- ung a better yield [rom the springs.He borad an artesian well, and at the depth of 70 feet, had the good luck to strike a fissure or vein, that sent up a large flow of ail.Professor Silli- man examined some ol it, and concluded that it could be distilled aud a good illuminating oil extracted from it.Artificial coal tar bad already been produced from bituminous coal, from which burning oil is easily made.But natural petroleum, or stone o1!, is generally richer in the inflammable materials, and more easly disulled.Thus the \u2018coal oil\u2019?excitement commenced.From 1860 to this time it has token tha lead of all other excitements in America.Mr.Drake put in a tube aud a pump, as the salt-makers do, ard obtained an average of eight and ten barrels per day.Some days he had twenty barrels, which yielded 75 ts 82 por cent of refined oil, then worth $1 50 per gallon.MeClintoek?\u2019s well, at the old spring, yielded eight barrels of 40 gallons per day tar a month together, tor which he receive.75 cents per gallon.At the close of 1861, the narrow valley ot Out Creek, less than half- a-mile wide, presented the appearance of a continuous \u2018 alab-city,\u201d from ils mouth to Titusville, a distance of eighleen miles by the stream.The limited space between the hills was crowded with board shanties, derricks, sheds for steam engines, blacksmith shops, and stables for horses.In the year 1860 there were produced 25,000 basrels on Oil Creek.There were then 246 wells, nro- docing 434 barrels per day, but only 29 of them were profitable.On 1he Alleghany river there were 17 wells, which yielded 314 barrels a day.There weru also 567 wells that did not pump, on account of the great fall of price, and a lalliug ofl in Lhe yield of oil.In 1861, by extenling the depth of the wells to 400 and 450 leet, sull greater wonders were brought to lighi.Seventy-five wells flowed spontaneously, some of them at a rate that could not be controlled.As soon as the first paroxysm was past, tubing was introJuced, with stop-cocke, and vais provided to receive the oil.ln one instance a well discharged (3,000) three thousand barrels in twenty-four hours, Anche discharged 2,200, and others ranged from ono to seven hundred barrels a day.This copious flow put a stop to the working of the pumping wells, of which there are reported to be mn Venango and Crawford counties (2,000) (wo thousand.At shilling a gallon, a pumpig well does not pay unless it yields five barreis per day.; Far several months, the daily yield of the flowing wells was (5,717, tive thousand seven hundred and sevenieen barrels.Sixty-1wo of the flowing wells was not discharging al the same lime with the seventy-five wells sbor spoken of.At the present time the daily discharge is about 5,000 barrels.The price of crude oil four months since wag as low a $1 per barrel.It 1s now $6 to $6 50, not including the package.This stimulates the pumping wells into operation again, and they can add to the product 2,600 barrels a day.~\u2014 lt is next to impusaible to state the total yield of the Oil Creek region.At the close 0 1861 it is given by the Ou City Reginter a8 amounting fo 1,092,000 batrels.| In January, 1862, 80,000 barrels were carried away by the several Northern routes; and in Ocio- ber, 1862, 30,000 barrels; 9,000 remainitg in store.For the week ending November 27, 1862, the Register gives the regular shipments by the Alleghany river south, as % al barrels, and during a recent rise, 75,000.lu 1861 there were twenty-five refinories it Venango county.There are now fifty-three, and 1n the oil region probably eight, with hy capacity of 8.000 bartels per week, refined oil Several of these works are owned un Europe where tho products are carried.ni The late excitment in the market hroug ! into play all the vigour of which Americans are capable, to secure iupid transportation.Three dollars a barrel was the regular price!
