Why cannot Mr. Archer, of Maryland, who seems well qualified to deal with marine matters, introduce the subject in Congress? Thirteen hundred and sixty-eight trips are made every year across the Atlantic, and nearly one hundred thousand lives are jeop- ardized every senson, to say nothing of the heavy losses of freight consequent upon the same calamity that destroys the passengers. This movement, therefore, calculated to allay the fears of passengers and shippers, would not only be profitable to commerce, but would insure almost absolute safety on the sea. Exxovroys m Sovrm Carouina.—Three men were executed in South Carolina yester- day—two negroes at Sumter and a white man at Abbeville. The crime of all of them was murder, and, as generally happens in com- munities where a large percentage of the com- munity is only half-civilized, in the case of the negroes murder for plunder. The other murder was committed in a drunken brawl. It isa sad condition of society where three hangings can take place so near each other in a single day, and one of these was made sadder still by the bungling method of the execution.

He especiaily de- sired that youths under twenty should apply theniselves to investigating the heavens. Their eyes are more acute than those of older persons, aud tous their facilities for new discoveries are great. Having closed the introductory remarks, of which the above is the substance, Professor Proctor desired the hall darkened, after which he com- menced his lecture proper, which was a running commentary upon pictures of diflering phases of the planets, and nebulw that were thrown by a stereoscope On a screen placed upon the piatiorm. He began with the moon, having repre: tations of its aspects when in full, hall and crescent state, He showed what intimate relations there are be- tween that planet and our earth, From indications in the aspect of the moon it is gathered that at present our earth is undergoing a process of change which could not otherwise be inferred. Proiessor Newcomb, of Washington, has decided | that that change is in the srinking ol the earthand the consequent increase of its rotatory speed. To illustrate the value of imagination to the astrono- mer, the Professor had shown several imaginative pictures of lunar land and water scapes, In the science of astronomy imaginative power, he said, 18 8 particular benefit, both to the subject and to the mind of tue astronomer.

Kor several years the belts of Jupiter have put on a reddish tinge, but they are now said to be returning to their normal creamy color. The causes of these changes must be attributed to atmospheric disturbances. ‘The planet Saturn Called out the poetical side of Mr. Proctor. He bever had it puss before his telescope without having a sense of harmony communicated to him, and he was always reminded by it of the words referring to the creation of woman— beautiful, like music’s close,’? Getting quickly beyond poetical influence of the planet, the Professor spoke of the constitu- tiou of its rings. Passing rapidly over all the theories about them, he came to Professor Pierce’s experiments, following to its legitimate conclusion the suggestion that those rings were ol liquid. Professor Pierce demonstrated that the pressure of attraction to which liquid bands would be sub- | jected would speedily break them up into particles, which Would still continue in order and shapes to form such rings as exist about the planet. These experiments Projessor Proctor accepted and con- sidered to be conclusive. Alter commenting upoa the enormous size of Saturn and the other coi comitants of its being, Prolessor Proctor de- clared that he considered it and_ satellites to be the abode of light.
