We give, in another column, to-day, a full re- port of the celebrased sermon preached last Sun- day in the House of Representatives, before all the great men and beautiful women of Washing- ton, by the distinguished Bishop Hughes, of this diocese. It is aremarkable sermon in its way; peculiarly characteristic of Bishop Hughes, and possesses some curious facts concerning men and things, not exactly religieus. Bishop Hughes is a clergyman—he is a man of great natural parts, and some genius, although he commenced life as a clergyman, somewhat late in years. He has taken a distinguished part in politics, as well as in religion, and has mixed them together in equal propor- tions, in this diocese; and has, in the course of the time that he has wielded his power as head of the church in New York, created more noise than all the other Catholic clergymen in the country. In fact, Bishop Hughes is something like Cardinal Beaton, or Cardinal Woolsey. Instead, however, of playing into the hands of one sovereign, as Cardinal Woolsey did, he attempts to wield all the Irish Sovereigns of his diocese, and has tried to work himself into great political, as well as religious, distinc- tion. He is more of a politician than a clergy- man; if he were one or the other, he would be a very eminent man; but in his double capacity as politician and clergyman, he acts with duplicity, and presents a double aspect to the world.— His career, thus far, has produced an equal amount of disaster and triumph for the Catholic cause. Ile was the first to cre- ate disturbance in this State, growing out of the school question, which went on step by step, until it produced, by a conflict of sects, the most disastrous results in Philadelphia. Of late years he has kept himself quiet, but he can’t keep his fingers out of the political pie;and as Mexico, being a Catholic nation, has become a very im- portant bone of contention to politicians and diplomats. Bishop Hughes must necessarily come into the field and take a part in the settle- ment of that disputed matter. He wants to have something to do with the settlement of that question, as well as with the nomination of an envoy toRome. His preaching and praying, and eating and fasting, at Washington, have all reference to those important and am- bitious purposes. According to the best ac- counts, he wants to go as one of the com- missioners to Mexico, and to send a friend of his as minister to Rome. If he can manage both, he thinks he can at least equal Cardinal ‘ Woolsey. No doubt he considers Mr. Polk a smal! man; but he is very anxious to get power from any quarter, Popish or Puritan. The sermon which we give to-day, is a curious production ; embracing views on greaf subjects, in connection with the purposes of the bishop. There is a great horror in this country about ‘mixing religion with politics. The bishop is very anxious to put them together in the same dish—to make them palatable to politicians—and to round off the pill of politics and religion, so as to give the clergy as important an influence in this country as they have in Europe. He has travelled much in Europe, and seen the in- fluence of the clergy in Austria and Italy, and is anxious to restore their lost power to the Catho- lies, at least in this country of presidents and republicans. We think, however, that he has mistaken the spirit of the age. The uncommon tact which he displays as a politician, would do very well, if he were a politician, but he must be eithera bishop, and that alone, or abandon that and become a politician. He must either con- fine thimself to the curing of souls, or abandon that, and become a politician and a statesm’.. at once. We doubt very much if the Catholics will tolerate any longer such preposterous exhibi- tions as he has begun again to show before the world. Clergymen of all kinds had better con- fine themselves to their spiritual duties. PourricaL MovemEents.—Two great political movements will be made in our city on Thurs- day next—one by the whigs, the other by the democrats. These two parties have their several meetings on the above day, to elect by bal'ot, the members of their committees for the coming year. These elections are important, as bearing upon the Presidential election, and having great influence over the future movements of the two great parties. There willbe a contest among the whigs for candidates, both for and against Mr. Clay, as next President. (General Scott's friends will also endeavor to get held of the committees, and the probability is, that the Clay section will triumph in the wards of this eity. At the same time the democrats, on their side, will make similar efforts for the ascendancy of their particular friends. Those who support Mr. Van Buren will go in opposition to every other candidate. The demoerats have a larger list of democratic candidates than the whigs. ‘They have Messrs. Polk, Van Buren, Wood- bury, Cass, Buchanan, Calhoun, and we know nothow many others. . The contest here will be for and against the friends of Mr. Van Buren in both committees, young and old. Largest rrom tax West Inpies—Kyrecrs o¢ THE RECENT GLISH Faiures.—Capt. Tikiol, of the bark Condor, arrived yesterday morning, touched at St. Croix onthe Ist inst., and at Grenada, on the 18th ult., and found both places, as well as St. Vincents, well stocked with American produce. The effect of the late fail- ures in England, severely felt in money mat- ters at all the British Islands. The pressure was apparent in almost every branch of trade. Dur- want to immortalize themselves by hanging to the end of his toga, and the dim light of liberty which he has struck from the dying embers of ages, will be extinguished for centuries, and per- haps for ever. Such being our view of the matter, formed from our intimate knowledge of the feelings of Austria and other despotic powers, towards his Holiness, and knowing that asympathy meet- ing here would embarrass, more than serve, the Pope, we condemned it at the onget, and pre- dicted bad consequences to flow from it, after it did take place. We are satisfied that injury, more or less, willbe done to the Pope by that meeting; but it was set on foot by Bishop Hughes, one of those factious, discontented, am- bitious intriguers, who would rather reign in hell than serve in heaven, and by a clique of aspiring politicians and briefless lawyers, to tur- ther their own selfish ends, caring but little whether the Pope would be sacrificed or not, and less about the cause of popular liberty. only great dancer now in Europe. Now, as re- fards beauty of person, and grace of execution, exquisite symmetry of form and movements, Madame Augusta can compare with any of these celebrated artists, all of whom we have frequent- ly seen. Palmo’s theatre, under its new regime, therefore, will come into the field of competition among the dollar theatres, with a powerful pres- sige of succeas. She opens to-night. Sreser Ovrraces—Inerviciency or tux Po- Licg.—We have heard of some very high-hand- ed outrages perpetrated on respectable females in the streets of this city, and in the broad day- with sti Ethiopiso Fee a the en juce whic, 8 Eebtopl fie nd loubtiess, well remem! poll peony ‘al during their last visit here. vsen Famity—These singers are to give our Brook- 1; m pelghbors & touch of their quality, this evening, at ye Aseoklyn Institute, in Washington street.” The t success Lag bave met with in New York, bas not fren’ {ipdeserved; and we strongly recommend our friends across the river, to go and iisten to their sweet strains. Amenican Musica. Instir0Te —This evening will be quite an epoch in the records of this institute. A new ies of musieal entertainment will be introduced by them, and one which, we think, cannot fail to give satis. faction. It appears lor fpree: Aol the subscribers and atrons ofthe institute, thinking an oratorio rather a Peary kind of entertainment, hinted as much to the managers; and they, by way of meeting these vie propose now to give @ selection of the gems of oratorios, thus sfording all the beauties without any of the draw- backs of this of music. To-night, accordingly, the first of the evening will be devoted to pieces jected from “ David and Goliah,” and the second part 1 be occupied by @ miscellany of secular s01 from the operas of Beethoven, Donizetti, Rodwell, Balfe, ko. The high musical attainments of the members of the Institute,is a guarantyffor the manner in which the music will be given ; and the chorus, consisting of over 200 voices, will enable them to do ample justice to their ortion of the performance. Mr Arthurson, the oele- rated tenor singer, has been engeged, and will make his first appearance befire 6 New York audience ; and from our resident artists the following list of names will show that the more prominent parts will be strongly sustain- ed :—Mra. L. A. Jones, Miss C. M. Rolph; Mesers. J. A. rooney ‘W. D. Combs, R. Andrews, F, H. Nash, D.S. B jennett. Broapway Opron—Mr. E. G. Greeley continues to. manage this with much tact and enterprise. He, song, light, too, which reflect nothing but disgrace on the organization of the police department. A few weeks ago one of those outrages was per- petrated in the neighborhood of St. John’s Park; and a good deal of noise was created in conse- quence, in the newspapers. Within the lastfew days, we learn from good authority, that a simi- lar and even a worse outrage was attempted to be committed on the person of a highly respect- able lady, in the broad day-light, in the middle of the afternoon, in one of those streets near St? John’s Park, which are generally frequented, when frequented at all, by doubtful characters. The police department of this city costs our inhab- itants upwards of five hundred thousand dollars annually; and yet there are more outrages, more robberies, and more vallanies commited, than could be presented by any other city of its mag- nitude throughout the world. We have more to say on this matter. be Tue Buack Repustic in Arrica.—There is nothing more amusing than to notice the move- ments of the black republic called Liberia, upon the coast of Africa—which is one of the oddest and most laughable caricatures upon democracy and independence which the world has yet seen; These intriguers are the curse of every thing they lay their hands upon. Possessing but little weight, and no position individually, yet, by a system of combination, their intrigues reach every department of the State and national go- vernments, and, in past times, have actually placed our Presidents in the White House. Their day, however, is short. With an indépendent press opposed to them, they will dwindle down to their original insignificanee, from which they will never emerge. Tue Orricz or Heartu Orricer.—This is one ot those fat, snug, obscure offices, which are given away by political parties to political fa- vorites, for valuable services rendered, and so much so, that we wonder it has not been dramatised at some of the theatres. It certainly would take, The last accounts are quite interesting. They have had their declaration of independence, a celebration of that independence, an eating and drinking scrape, a convention to form a consti- tution, and a constitution ‘‘as long as my arm,” together with all the other proceedings and doings which regularly distinguish a people governed upon republican principles. One prin- ciple in their constitution ie, that no white man can be avoter. What will Mr. Garrison say to that? What will John Quincy Adams, and all the abolition party, think of such a principle in which, in the course of a year or two, makes the incumbent rich and affluent. The income of this office arises from fees, and amounts, as it is stated, to twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars a year; and lest the incumbent should be put to any expense at all, there is a house and a free living attached to it. Thus, while the chief magistrate has but twenty-five thousand dollars per annum, of which he must expend a large rroportion to enable him to uphold the dignity oi his office, the health officer of New York has twenty.five or thirty thousand, no house rent to pay, and the ‘run of the kitchen” into the bar- gain. An attempt is making by certain parties, backed by that nucleus of sages who style them- selves the Chamber of Commerce, to have the fees of the health officer abolished, and the in- cumbent made a salaried officer. There is every probability of the attempt being successful; but the friends of the present incumbent are exert- ing themselves to have the salary fixed at as large an amount as possible, and propose ten thousand dollars. In proportion to the services rendered, and the importance of the office, this would be an extremely liberal salary; one which the present health officer ought to be satisfied with; but we venture the assertion that there are in this city above five hundred, and in the State one thousand, medical men,abundantly possessed of the necessary skill and ability to discharge the functions of the office, who would gladly accept it at a salary of one-quarter that sum. Such being the case, we see no good reason why the salary should not be fixed atthat sum. Again, it is hostile to the spirit of our political institutions, and to the simplicity and economy which should characterise a free people, to pay such immense salaries to their servants. Tue Post Orrick Rerorr.—We published yesterday, ahead of our cotemporaries, the ma- terial portions of the famous report of the Post- master General, Cave Johnson, being his annual report on that department of the government. The Postmaster (General takes a great deal of credit to himself, in regard to particulars; but he takes cage to pass over slightly the embarrass- ments which he has caused in the foreign mails by his incapacity, his folly, and his want of all, preparation. We say nothing of the numerous failures which have taken place all over the country, in the internal mails and on the local routes. The foreign mails are in a state of inex- tricable confusion, as we shall show - distinctly another day. Then, again, look at the proposi- tion which Cave Johnson makes, and the conclu- sions that are forced on him, in regard to a re- duction of postage. Noone was more opposed to such a measure than he was, and he is now compelled to admit the correctness of the views put forth by the advocates of the system. But he will have to make a further reduction than what he proposes. Nothing will satisfy the peo- p'e of this country but a reform of the postage system, so a8 to make the postage on all letters at least as low as two cents, over the whole country, anda uniform rate. The department requires a complete and thorough reorganiza- tion. All postages should be equalized and re- duced to two cents, within the limits of the United States, and treaties should be made with foreign powers, so as to reduce foreign postage to at leastjfive cents. The telegraphic system, throughout the country, should also be adopted by the post office department, and made a part of that branch of the public service ; but with such a1 incompetent, pettifogging man as Cave John- son atthe head of that department, we ask in vain for any adequate changes. Launen or Tax Sreamsutr Crescent Crty.— The splendid steamship Crescent City will be launched to-morrow afternoon at 3 o’clock, from the yard of W. H. Brown, Esq , near the Novel- ty Works. She was built under the direction of Isaac Newton, Esq., and is certainly, as regards strength and beauty of model, one of the finest yet constructed. She is 1840 tons burthen, and isthe first of the Peopie’s line of regular steam- ships between New York and New Orleans. The engines are of great power, and are build- ing by Messrs. Secor & Co.

Newsrarers FRom Sr. Crorx.—We have re- ceived the St. Croix Avis, published at Chris- tianstead, to the 26th ult. It is a curious looking sheet, printed in Dutch and English, edited by Richard Hatchett, and in various sized type. It is filled with extracts from the New York Herald and other papers; it contains no local news, except that found ima few advertisements. ‘Theatrical and Musical. Panx Tueatne.—Mr. Barry, the gentlemanly stage manoger of the Park Theatre, took his benefit last even- ing, and offered for the occasion a good bill—“ Love's Sacrifice,” and the “Honeymoon.’”? Col. Burnett, Ma- jor Dyckman; Lieuts. Potter, Sweeney and Croft, with other officers of the New York Regiment of Volunteers, who have just returned from Mexico to recover from their wouuds and to recruit men for their regiment, came into the theatre at eight o'clock, accompanied by the Mayor and a number of the members of the Common Counsell, couple of boxes in the dress circle had been reserved for them, and tee a, decorated with drapery, composed of the jcan flag supported from the centre by the American eagle. As soon as the offi- cers began to enter, the audience arose and cheered them in a manner that must have made them feel truly that they were remembered by their fellow citizens, and that thelr services in their country’s cause were appreciated. Cheer followed cheer, the orchestra struck up “ Hail Columbia,” and, for a few moments the enthusiasm of the heroes’ reception took the place of the performance upon the stage. The officers modestly acknowledged the honor done —_ eed Mer Hh cont oY length, with a regu! ‘ee cheers, repeated, the ‘audience resumed their seats, the music pomow and this evening, produces some pleasing songs, ke. and the ever-pleasing Tableaux§ Vivants will conclude the night’s amusement.

The pi after paying an impressive tribute to the me: deceased, read the following preamble and resolutiens, viz:— ‘Whereas, in the dispensation of Providence, we are called i se to mourn the decease of one of our most distinguished and venerable citizens, who, in the course of slong and eventful life, has occupied high and im- portant stations of public confidence and trust; in all of which he has displayed such purity of character and distinguished ability, as to command the confidence of his associat \d the respect of those by whom he was surrounded— And whereas, in retrospecting upon the life and pub- lic character of the late Chancellor Kent, who for up- wards of balf a century was fidentified with the judi- ciary of our State, either as Recorder, Judge, Chiet Jus- tice or Chancellor, we find so much to admire andso little to condemn, thet of him it may truly be said that @ great man has indeed failen in our midst— Thorefore, resolved, That in the death of the venera- ble James Kent, who at the age of four score years and five has been summoned to his rest, to receive the re- wards of » virtuous and well spent life, this Board deeply sympathize with bis family and friends in the bereave- ment which they have sustained; aad although his grey hairs may have for a long time beckoned to the grave, yet when the blow did come it fell upon the hearts of those who knew his virtues and his worth,as with unex- ected force. but in the full confiding belief, that as he ived the Christian life, so he died, in the animating hope of_a glorious immortality beyond the grave. ‘Resolved, That asa mark of respect, the members of the Common Council will wear the usual badge of mourning for 30 days, cause the flags of the city to be raised half mast during the of his funeral, and will attend the same with their staves of office. Resolved, That a copy of thesefresolutions be duly au- thenticated and transmitted to the family of the de- ceased, which were unanimously adopt-d. Ald McE rata then offered @ resolution, that it be referred to the Committee on Ar! i Sciences, to pro- portrait of the late Chancellor Kent, to be p!aced the Governor’s room, which was also adopted.

Bowery Tueatne.—Whether it was to see the roman_ tic drama of “ Valsha,” the elegant performances of the renowned equestrian, Levi North, and the wonderful feats of the horse “ Tammany,” or to behold the roman- tic, beautiful ballet of “Giselle, or the Willies,” this theatre, last evening, was crowded from pit to dome. It does one’s heart good to take a peep from the stage box at the masses who fill every seat of this spacious and beautiful theatre. The dra of the Valsha” com- |-menced the entertainments. Itis founded on a Bohemi- ‘an story. Ludger, the son of Remialaus, King of Bohe- mia, by J. H.

Next came Levi North, the t equestrian, and his hiess horse, Tammeny. The Polkas,and various dancing manceuvres of this animal, are really wonderful, and should be seen by all who are admirers of eful riding, and extraor- dinary animal segacity. The next was the sublime bal- let of “ Giselle,” fr which Miss Turnbull and Mr. Smith exceeded every former effort in the beautiful accom- plishment of dancing. No greater attraction can be found than at the Bowery just now, where talent of eve- ‘shade and character is put forward, in order to please the thonsands who every night frequent this theatre. CuatHaM Tueatre.—The amusements at this thea- tre, last night, commenced with » thrilling little drama entitled the‘ Black Mantle, or Wenlock of Wenlock.” Mr. Hield, in the character of Wolfa Moss Troeper, who raised the ory of freedom, in order to redeem his coun- from the oppressive yoke of her rnlers, displayed a oe conception of his character, and evinced an excel- lent knowledge of stage effect.

Tur Deatn or Cuancecton Kent.—The death of this eminent jurist, took place on Sunday evening, at half past 8 o'clock, at his residence in Union Place, at the patriarchal age of eighty-five years. He was favored | with extraordinary good health, until witbin the last Year since at the funeral of Theodore Dwight, Eeq , act- | ing as one of the pall-bearers, and to us he then ap- peared as erect and active asa man of fifty, His mind, ‘and great flow of spirits, contioued unimpaired; he read and wrote much, and continued his labors in cor- recting aud revising bis law publications, with unabated ardor, until his recent illness. His conversation wis delightful; he mipgled freely with bis acquaintances, moO man, could be in his company witho ‘t re- ceiving instruction. He was born on the 3lst July, 1763, in Duchess county, and at the age of ten years, Mr. Kent wae sent to the grammar school at Dan- bury, then under the charge of the Rev. Ebeneser Baldwiv, a respectable Presbyterian clergyman, where he continued until September, 1777, when he entered Yule College. In July, 1779, in consequence sf the in- fasion of the ritiah, the college was broken up and the studen' 4 During Mr. Kent's exile he happen- ed to meet with acopy of Blackstone’s celebrated com- mentaries, which he read with great avidity and plea- sure; aud, s0 much was he delighted with the researoh ‘and depth of knowledge displayed in that great work, and with the elegance of its diction, that he at once de- termined to become a lawyer. After the re-estab- lisbmeat of the college, he returned, and in 1781 took the degree of a bachelor, removed to Pough- ke and commenced the study of law uuder the direction of Egbert Benson, Esq. then Attorne: General of this State.

In 1798 Governor Jay sppoiated him one of the Jud, of the Supreme Court, and in 1800 he was, with wr Justice Radcliff, selected to revise the statutes of this State. In July, 1804, he was raised to the dignity of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, where ne continued to preside until 1814 Iu February, 1814, he was ap- pointed Chancellor of this State, and continued to pre- side in the Court of Chancery until the 3ist of July, 1923, when he retired, having attained the age of ewrs. Soon after his retirement from the bench, © was sgain appointed to «prof: ip of law by the trustees of Columbia College; during his second professorship he delivered a series of law lectures upon a more comprehensive plan than those delivered by him in former course. In the year 1825 he began to revise and enlarge them for ublicaticn, and in November, 1826, the first volume of commeataries on American§law appesred. In 1827 and 1928 the second and third volumes appeared, and in 1830, the fourth and last volume made. its appearance. ‘The legal mind of Chancellor Kent has exercised a marked influence upon the profession in this State—we may say indeed throughout the States generally—not only by means of his great work, the Commentaries, which ranks with the commentaries of Blackstone on English law—but still more sensibly, perhaps, through the agency of his decisions. Asa Judge, he possessed two most valuable qualiti One of them was prompti- tude. His judgments we ot, perhaps, 80 full of pro- found learning, and sv impregnable in argument as those £ ee bens but they were rendered with no such intoleral and it is universally conceded that, for the public interest, « reasonable celerity of decision is more valuable than the most consummate legal Srcissbip For nothing, per- haps, was Chancellor Kent more obviously remarkable than for activity, both of mind and body. His capacity Jor work was inexhaustible; and when we last hadthe en- joyment of an evening im his company, though he had then attained the ripe age of fourscore and four, there was nothing except a degree of deafness to indicate that he had exceeded the ordinary limit of human existence. His conversation was no less animated and va- rious,, his temperament?no lees vivacious, his bodily movements no less brisk and impulsive,than we bed known them many years before. The other quality to which we have referred may be briefly expressed by the term, conservative. With no re] prejudice against change, no exaggera'ed dread of new things, the Chancellor was yet very far from par- tak! in & prevalent eagerness of our day to adopt new theories or new principles, whether in law, in morals or in politics. Indeed, for a mind so active and rapid, his habitual caution against hazardous novelties was extra- ordinary ; and its effect,in the fulfilment of the high duties to which he was assigacd in his various evident positions, was most salutary.

Pi son Mitcwet.’s Lectures on Astronomy,— Professor Mitchell commenced his fourth lecture on ‘astronomy on Friday evening last, at the Tabernacle, by arking that in his previous lectures he had endea- vored to develope the means by which the human m‘nd attained to the rules which govern the uaiverse, and the actence of astronomy generally. In regard to the laws of gravitation, he said that that law, and the law of motien, have given to the earth, moon and planets their peculiar form; and these same laws cause perturb - tion or disturbance in their movements. There are other ae produced, as well as the shape and motion. ‘The earth is sweeping uround the sun, and is held in its course by the law of gravitation, but this law has nothing to do with the revolving of the earth on its axis, or of the planets on their axes. We find the planets all traveling in the same direotion ;— but the law of gravitation bas nothing to do with that. If they moved ina contrary direc.ion, this law would have held them fast. ‘The question arises, isthere any evidence of design in the construction of our system? ‘The answer is, that if the system had been first con- structed, it would not have endured, and the time would have come when the whole would be destroved. It is neceesary, therefore, that the plangts should travel in the same direction in their orbits, and that these orbits should be coincident. Itis not possible for any of those bodies to change their places without the destruction of the whole system; aud here we see the infin t+ +k ll ana wisdom of its construction. He then referred to the bodies which bave recently be discovered +nd ad- ded to th ‘And as to purturbation. an point and a planet at another, between them is the perihelion distance. Will the perihelion pointe remain in the same angle? No, the moment they commence thelr travel, these points change, and millions of years will roll around be: fore they will again occupy the same relative position. This being, the caso, how can we reach knowledge of the influence which these bodies exert on each other? The astronomer is obliged to size the planet to ascer- tain the amount of matter in each, compute its influence, wnd thus trace out their devious wanderings. ‘The manner in which these distant obs are weighed, was then explained by the Professor. He next an- nounced the manner in which the asteroids be- tween Saturn aud Jupiter were discovered—and what is very strange, from the 1¢ uotest antiquity, among all pations, tbe days of the week are uamed after the planets, cailiog the sun and moon two. Jupiter is found at all distances from the run, but Venus is always near it, When the telescope was applied to Jupiter, the mind of Galeleo was astonished. He found no less than four moons revolving around it. This planet and these moons, it woul appoar. were given to us for a valuable purpose. They determine, in the first place, the ve- locity of light, which travels at the rate of twelve mil- lions of milrs a minute; and even at thie rate, t bodies whose light would take fifty reach our earth. It takes light to pass aci orbit, sixteen minutes, After the lecture the professor exhiblted telescopic views of Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, &c. L vening, Professor Mitche'l continued his lec usual, @ very large and highly respectable inattendance. Onascending the platform he commenced by saying, that if it were possible to rt the aucience nive Sundred millions of miles ., they would be somewhat surprised at what they would beho.d hey would ree a number of rings of light, revolving with dreadful velocity, apd outside of those rings, seven distinct and different worlds. This place ia the planct Saturn, the oldest of the pla cts When Galileo directed his telescope to this object, he announced that it was triple; as the telescope was per- fected, it was seen that aring paered round the planet; as more improvements were made. it was found this ring was ided into two, and lately it has been discovered that re no less than three rings, ‘The first satellite discovered in 1655, and afterwards four more were discovered ; and all chose satellites are sweeping through space, andare under the control of the planet, But what ore these rings? Their thickness is only thirty tailes, their depth one hundred, and their length seventy- seven thousand five hundred. How is it that there rings are controlled in their motion? The system bafiles all conjecture ; and while we can form soine conception of how the other planets were launched, we cannot of this But what are these oR? of ight—are they solid or not ? They are solid. And ho: io we know it? We do so because, as the planet sweeps, they are not transparent; because at the distance of nine hundred millions of miles, we can see the shadows they cast on the planet itself. Again, they are able to exhibit the same charac- toristio themselves. We see the shadow of the planet cast on the rings. Now, these we watch, end we find these shadows depend on the position of the sun, in the same way as shadows are cast on the earth But the space between the interior ring and the planet is 20,000 miles, aod its breadth 10,000 miles. Now, how is it that these rings are held steady, and are carried with the planet through space? This is perhaps the most diffloult problem for the astronomer. There are three different kinds of equilibrium. One similar to that which vibrates as @ peodum, and stability. Lf th floger; we have th How are these rings ori ry supposed that jn the beginning of all thing 0 the nine months, We remember to have seen him about a| °. ‘When millions of = seh hexe away, it will contract, until ov the force of ravitation,and a portion 's detached. Now when we ad this body contracting, this ring may break up, and form # planet, but in so, there be detached from it other parts, which all beoome satellites. If we can oredit this system, we can account for the formation ; ; but then he, the Professor would not pretend to say that this was the manner in which the see was formed; but if this theory is demonstrated to true, it gives a more comprehensive idea of the omniscience and omnipotence of God than any other he ever heard of. We pass on to auother subject. If in the planet Saturn the analogy of the government of the system has been broken, we shall find in the next an anomaly; a moet extraordinary fact was discov: in relation to Ju er; it was getting behind ite computed time It was taken. up by La Viace, and the explanation uricus Who would suppose that our system depended on the times of the planets? Yet it is a0; for if one takes a oer- tata number of time equal to another, there would be irregularities, aud the equilibrium would be that of in- stability. Five periods of Jupiter are 4 two of Saturn are the same. [Hv then explained long equasides of septiee and Saturn, which set the lay of gravitation at defiance at one time, but which was afterwards proved to come within the rule. After this discovery, lerscheli found an object with a diso—on the following night it changed its place, but ao little did he ex- ns to find a planet there, that he therefore gave outthat ¢,(ound Bcomet ‘This was the planet Uranus or Hersobell 4 a distauce of ei no hundred millions of miles from he ars more, Herschel! announ diroovered six satellites, with retregrade prance the planes of thelr orbits nearly perpendicular to the planes of their ecliptic.

He has accom- plished the solution of the most diffleult problem, and yet that problem is not one of nature, and it is this dim- culty which makes Le Verrier’s position so unpleasant asitis. He is young man, but he showed his capacity by an examination of all the conditions involved in the ere Mercury. It was believed the knowledge we jad was sufficient; but when the transit of that planet across the diso of the sun occured, he had opportunit; of discovering whether his calculations were right, and it was found that he was correct, within sixteen seconds of time. His success induced his friend, Arago, to persuade him to commence the solution of the problem, which he pted by all me.ns within his power, He makes a new theory for Saturn and Jupiter, and, with the hand of muster, he holds the problem before him. At length he accounts for all the url tion of all the bodies known, and now the ol is, to pass to the outer limits aud locate # planet that may knew about where account for those perturbations, the planet would be located, and t tained,be could tell where tt would be received with doubt—the problem was too mind, but he desi point indicated, place pointed out. All doubts were now removed, endas if to make things doubly sure, a manin England the same investigation, had discovered the same result: but he did not presentthem. As soon, howe Verier annoracedj his discovery, the other computation, corresponding entirely, came to light. Now were I to tell you, said the professor, that all this was felse, and had nothing to do with the finding of the planet, yot it was 60; but in telling you so,!do not pluck a single Jaurel from the brow of Le Verier. The telescope was directed to this newly found planet. Adams led the way in computing the elements of theorbit. When he found its actual distance, he found a discrepancy be- tween the computed distance and the actual distance. Observations are again made,and the position of the planets hundreds of years back and to come, are com- Sune aa bhai hd eats Raney traced it back- wards, He examin 1@ catalogues of fift; 3nd found that on the 10th May, 1/95, 0 star was dleto. vered which occupied the place which the new one ought to have occupied.

Thus it was believed this e place of the planet; and. finally, it is announced that at the distance of 3,000,000,000 miles @ satellite is discovered, and the conclusion is formed that even this is not the plunet that produces the perturbation. But the problem was discovered,and the-discovery of it de- red @ world, und a world was given for it. The has been partially solved, in the discovery of @ a ; which, however, is, in the opinion of the professor, but one of more; but whether we shall ever tee them or not, it is impossible to tell. Although this new planet, Neptune, is not the planet which excited this perturbation, yet it does not detract from the fame of LeVerier The next lecture will be delivered on Friday evening.
