THEEVBMNG POST. FRIDAY, JULY 8. Kur President. MARTIN VAN UUREN. For Vice President.

IlICHARD M. JOHNSON. nffir of the Evckimo Post, and of the New the Country, is removed to No. 43 Pine street, three doors trom uie comer oi street, and a eW Coon Irotn lis lorrucr umimi. It appears to us that the Whig party have given up the game, and are studying the lesson of resig nation to Mr.

Van Buren's election, which they nw hpffin to reaard as inevitable. It is true that they are keepinsr together for the purpose of talc inT advantage of anylvcky accident that may oc cur in their favour. They do not overlook the fac, all that steamboats are llldl wwoiaa 1 V1w sometimes blown up, that carriages occasionally overturn, that the cars of railroads have been known to encounter each other with a terribl? and lata shock, that fevers prevail in summer and autumn and Dleurisjes in the beginning of winter. These, th various other evils which beset the life uf man, are their only chances for defeating the de mrv.rail. candidate.

If anv of these should take Mr. Van Uuren out of the woild before the clcc tion, toe will not be president, but aside from these his election is as certain as that the days will be shorter in December than they are now. It is impossible to make, what is called in the cant of the day an available candidate, of Harri son. If there is any thing that could eive a burlesque air to the election of a President of this great republick, it is the bringing forward of such a mau as a candidate, and gravely asking the people to give him their suffrages. He may be a good sort of man; we deny it not mild, inoffensive, pliant, not too sagacious nor too obstinate to oppose any troublesome resistance to those who want to make a tool of him; but we are sure that the history of parties in this country cannot show a parallel instance of so inefficient and feeble a mar.

poposcd to the support of any party as candidate for the Presidency. It is Thersites, bating the wit and ill out to fight against Hector; it is Edgar Atheling pitted against William the Conqueror. The ridicule of the proceeding grows every day more and more sensible. Harrison has been written to at various times by his friends, real or pretended, and answers have been called forth and published, in which the kind old gentleman shows his desire to oblige all his friends by coming as near to all their different and contradictory opinions as he can. No man ever played this part with a better will than poor Harrison, and no man ever monocuvred less adroitly.

He has people of all political creeds among his supporters high tariff men and anti tariff men, nullitiers and unionists, abolitionists and anti abolitiouists the Richmond Whig supports him as the anti abolition candidate, and the Vermont State Gazette supports him because he is the abolition candidate and in trying to satisfy all these, he has earned the reputation ot being a nose of wax, a man who has no settled opinions of his own, and is willing, chameleon like, to take the colour of the party which supports him. Failing to turn their candidate to any account as a politician, his supporters have tried his popularity as a hero. Here they have met with a re lUllkaulv tk. rlna nf his military services, in the famous adventure o1 the petticoat. This unlucky circumstance, whe ther justly or not, has involved his military repu tation in the same ridicule which has attended his political.

The laugh is against him, and his friends, out of personal reeard to him, ouslit to withdraw him from the field. In looking over what we have written, we confess that we have some misgivings lest wc should have spoken too harshly of an aged man, whom friends as little endowed with judgment as himself, have diagged from the shade of that privacy to whici he belongs, and exposed to criticism and derision. In canvassing the merits, however, of a candidate for the highest trust in the republick, we ought not to be withheld by compassion from speaking freely. Harrison will not retire from the unequal contest without one consolation, that of being beaten by one of the ablest and most distinguished men of the nation. It was esteemed a sufficient glory for the small heroes of antiquity to die by the hands of Ajax or JELneas.

Harrison will withdraw from the unsuccessful combat much, we presume, in the same lrame of mind with the unfortunate royal personage already alluded Jo, as described in the lines of Gilford. Atheling, made in some strange plot The hero of a day that knew hitn not, Struts from the field his enemy had won, On stately stilt, exulting and undone. We copy the subjoined article front tlte Richmond Enquirer, in which it appears as a communication. It shows that the attention of the people of Virginia begins to be called to the abuses of the Banking System. The writer's honour Of what he calls agrarianism at tlie north is, however, somewhat amusing.

If by agrarianism he means, as many do, a set political doctrines which teach that tho rich ought to divest tlwimselves of tlieir property, aiid abuut to see it divided among the poor, we can tell him thai such a doctrine finds no advocates at the aorth. TVat party a virtuous, disinterested and increasing party, which has been falnely charged with holding such doctrines, goes no farther than the great philosopher of Virginia. It simply opposes that mischievous system of legislation which makes the rich richer and the poor poorer, which causes and keeps up a great inequality oj condition among the different members of society. It de mands merely what Jefferson recommended, the extinction of monopolies and exclusive privileges. From Uie Rlchmorxl Enquirer.

1 hope you will indulge mo with the privilege of a subscriber, and publish the accompanying communication, though the opinions advanced be more radical than you approve. For my part, I am extremely desirous that our Banking capital shall not be increased, and though 1 believe we have ever had less of the evil of Banking than any other State, and that our Banks have been far more honourably and fairly conducted than elsewhere yet I hope in due time we shall get rid of them altogether, for'l am fully convinced that the whole systein is inexpedient, unjust and unconstitutional. Since writing tins, I have seen some editorial strictures in the Whig, on, the Banks in Richmond My communication is purely abstract, and has not been occasioned or suooesled by any occurrences of the day. To the Mtnxbert elect of the next Legislature. The attempt to increase the Banking Capital of the State, which barely failed at the last, will no doubt be renewed at the ensuing session of tho Legislature.

This will bo the most important subject you will be called to deliberate and acton. When viewed in all its blessing on society, the power to create banks invests tho legislative body with more complete control of the present and future destinies ol the thn all the other oowers which that body assumes toexercise. Your constituents, therefore, have the right to expect and require from you, that you will prepare yourselves f.r l. owl.tin on this subicct. bv calm reflection and close in vestigation you will inform yourselves of the wishes of your respective consutuenls, ana enueavour x.aiaiii, iw only from the most approved theories, but from the past experience of those sections ol the Union where the banking experiment has been fully tested, whether the present and future intcretts of your constituents will be promoted by any increase of the banking capital bearing always in mind, that tlie effects of anv legislative action on this subject, whether for good or for evil, will be felt for ages to come.

For, independent of the eencrallv received doctrine, that laws conferring chartered rights are irrepealuble, Uie experience of many oi our pmier siaies must convince you, mat a strong banking interest once created, greatly influences or entirely controls all future legislation on the same suhiecL Virginia is justly proud of the pure morality and nice senso ot honour by wtnen ner ciuzens nave ever been distinguished. Be cautious that no act of yours tends, in its certain consequences, to impair or destroy this high and enviable reputation. Remove no incentive to bomnt industry, hold out no temptation idleness and vice, by making fortune the reward of cunning, intrigue, and successful speculation, rather than of virtuous industry and economy. Qui euitHtirtutemampUctitur iotam. Premia ri tollat Recollect, that when you induce those engaged in produc be of iu 1 I five labour to ouit their employment and launch into the ot singulation, vou do a uounie wrong you corrupt morals and probably ruin the tortus of Utte speculator, and task more heavily the viituous part of the community, who remain at their productive employments.

It reason did not refute the notion, that the wealth of a nation could increased by the issue ol paper money, the past experience your own and her sister stales has abundantly disproved livery act oi yi.urs which unti on noin me numoer oi those engaged in productive industry, in so far diminishes the I' it tt i national wealth. There is one aspect of Ibis subject, which I must be leave particularly to impresson youraltentiou. You are generally the Representatives of the country, as distinguished from the owns. IMow, whilst 1 readily admit mat mere is a uass oi individuals in every town who are greatly bcnenitea ty tnc creation of Hanks, and still more 'perhaps by theiraiure, it becomes you seriously to inquire, wnctner tnc surrounaing country does not ua a tax or suffer a loss greater even than the illc.ntunnte ains of those favoured individuals of the towns. Far be it from my intention to excite a spirit of hos tibtv between the towns and country.

I believe that their trim and lastin? interests are uie same, anu nave no uouoi that the labouring class, the more numerous ponion oi tnc population of all towns, is more seriously injured by the expansions and cont: actions, and failures of monicd institutions, than any other part of the community. Look to the JNoitli and East, and lietvdd tint spirit ol ararianisui that is rear ing it head anil almost Uncatcning me overtnrow ot all that is valuable in their institution. Think you, it these turbulent spirits felt that they fully participated in all the benefits ot our proicsaeUly tree and equal institutions, they would be thus ready with their rash hand to overthrow them No; tlii'y see and leel that, by unwise and dishonest legis lation, one part of the community is so knit ttii and linked together by grants of monopolies and exclusive privilcgee, that they arc enabled, to live comparatively without labour, whilst the industrious poor are excluded from the privileged pale, and doomed ever to be the hewers of wood and drawers ol waler. It you wish not to excite a similar point ol agra rian urn in Virginia, create no privileged order, loster nouio nieo aristocracy, but leave the avenues to fortune, as nearly as you can.coually open to all. Look to the publitk press, lie boasted suardiun ot our vou will hnd that whilst it is lavishing us ciiticisin anil uhusuon every thing else, high or low, sacred or prolauc, with a tew exceptions, it Hardly dares to breathe a censure on the Bankinz System.

Char tered monicd institutions and a free press cannot exist together. Look to our Legislative Halls sec what wonderful changes of opinion haue been coincident w.tli indebtedness to the Banks. These changes may have been by the conviction of reason, but reason too readily sides with interest. Examine the history of banking, and see the ruinous consequences that have followed excessive issues ot paper mo ney at ons times in every section ot the Union, by indue iii men from the facility of getting money, to engage in im profitable undertaking, and employ the ot tnc country in a thousand visionary schemes, that have never repaid a tenth ol the cost to the undertakers, and have addl littl or not hin 2 to tho national wealth. Hecollect tho almost uni versal bankruptcy in many parts of tho Union, brought about ny me great curtailments in is t'j, mat memorial era, wnc; Uiicves saved the hank by milling the country.

Hunk hundreds ol thousands ot the labourm poor, who were thiin left without employment and rvduced literally to want ami beggary, because their employers could no longer get the accustomed bank accommodations. Kcmcmbcr the reli laws, the iisuy laws, and the thousand other demoralising devices which dire necessity induced honest law givers to re sort to, in the vain attempt to militate or repair tho evil which improvident and dishonest legislation had inflicted on the country. I will not at present trespass further on your time, having now called your attention to the subject, I intend shortly to lay before you some facts in the history of banking in this country, which 1 think calculated to influence your conduct at the ensuing session ot the Legislature. RANDOLPH, of Roanoke. The country in the vicinity of Pittsburg, was visited, say a Pittsburg paper, on Saturday, by a rain which might compared for the time it lasted to the rain said to have fallen at the great deluge.

Fields that never had water running over them before were inundated for miles, and tlie valleys in some places assumed for a short period, the appearance of impetuous sudden, and in such torrents did the rain descend. "1 lie crops, along these valleys especially, are in a great measure destroyed, and very considerable damage done in some cases to buildings and improvements that stood in the wav of the sudden flood. The State Convention of the Democratick Young Men of Pennsylvania have had their meeting at Ilarrisburg. The Philadelphia Sentinel says that there were nearly five hun. drtd regularly appointed delegates in attendance, and there was but one opinion among them as to the result of the elections October next and that is, that the House of Repre sentatives of the State will be regenerated, and the vote of a 4,.

ir. nnd Richard M. Johnson. By the new act organizing the Post Office Department, all Hstmastcrs whose salary exceeds 91,000 are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. In the no minations made at the last session, the name of Mr.

Gouver neur, late postmaster of this city, was left out, and J. J. Cod dington nominated in his stead. Mr. Gouverneur had dis tinguished himself by the most perfect inattention to the duties ot his place, and bad it not been for the industry and capacity of Mr.

Bales, who was Viceroy over him, and who kept Uie affairs ot the oflice in admirable order, Uie city would have been wretchcaly served. A general gratification is expressed at Uie present change. Mr.Coddington cannot enter upon the functions of his oflie until his commission is prepared and the requisite bonds are given. Several days will be necessary for this. In the mean time, as Mr.

Gouverneur is no longer in place, the Postmaster General has despatched Mr. Loughborough Ch ief Cletk of the Department, to take possession of the Post Office here, and to appoint Colonel Page, who has accompanied him from Philadelphia, Postmaster ad interim. Mr. Page entered upon his new duties on Tuesday, and n. conjunction with Mr.

Bates, is vigorously occupied in ma king some very wholesome and necessary reforms. Colonel Page will continue to act as postmaster until Mr. CodJing ton is qualified by law to take possession of the office. The Postmaster General on Tuesday last removed from office a number of clerks in the department at Washington, some of whom it is said had held their situations for nearly twenly years. One of the Washington correspondents of a daily print, who attacks Kendall violently tor this, admits that some of ihem deserved to be turned out, but makes an exception in favour of his own father, and several others.

The young gentleman deserves credit for his filial piety but who is to blame The Post Office Depart ment is reorganized by law economy anddespTitch are the order of the day, and the department cannot afford to give salaries to people whose only recommendation is that they are merely good sort of men. The most active and efficient persons must be employed that can be had lor the salaries paid. The Morristown Jersey man relates, that during a thunder shower on Wednesday of last week, Mr. Joseph Chamber lain, aged about 65 ycar, of Newfoundland, Jefferson town ship, was instanUy killed by lightning. He had just passed from the front to a back room, and put on lus spectacles, when he was struck down dead.

Some time since an itinerant company of players appeared at Lucey in France, and announced their intention of delighting its inhabitants with a ime Blanche, the piece written by Scribe, the musick composed by Boildicu, so said the Affiches" in letters of colossal dimensions. The rood people of I he town in their joy at this announcement, never troubled themselves to read any part of the bills save and except those obtrusive yet welcome capitals.

Had they done so, they would have been spared their mortification when on crowding to the theatre, Uicy found the opera was to be played with the trifling omission of all the musick." They murmured and referred to their play bills, and then for the first time discovered that the gigantick announcement before alluded to was followed by a single line in the smallest possible type, stating that by particular desire the musick would be omitted, and its place supplied by a lively dialogue. The Solar Eclipse. A singularly beautiful appearance says the Glasgow Herald, was exhibited by the telescope at the instant of the completion of the ring. The two horns or points of the uneclipsed part of the sun had been gradually approaching each other until their distance had become small. Instead, however, of continuing to make this gradual ap proach, there seemed to issue from each great numbers of tieads of light resembling drops of quicksilver, or a line of electnck sparks, and in an instant the ring wascompleted.

I his seems obviously to establish what seems on other con siderations to be very likely, that the limbs ot the sun and moon are not the fine and perfectly regular curves that they appear to be, hut that Uiey arc full of numerous minuto in equalities. A thermometer in the shade gradually sunk dur ing the eclipse trom deg. to SO while another, exposed to the rays of the sun, sunk from 61 deg, to 5J deg. 2 and again rose, as the eclipse went off, to 57 deg. 8 min.

Anemones were observed to close during the eclipse, and rc open after its termination. fnr the Evening Post. Gentlemen: The recent outcry, by a part ol the pub libk press, against the supposed appointment of Alderman Brady as chairman of the committee on the celobration of the Fourth, induces mo to trouble you with a fewremarks. Now that it is known that Alderman Purdy was the chairman, all is silent as the grave, even to the want of an acknowledgment on the part of the same press that they charged wrong fully. Of Alderman Purdy I know nothing personally, but believe hi in to be an upnght magistrate; out i sunmii whether there be anything in the mere circumstance of his birUi, giving him such a tremendous advantage overciUzcns wlin.

thou eh born in the land of Alderman Purdv's forefa thers, may be quite his equals in character, in patnoUsm and in every gentlemanly quality, and might happen to De vasuy his supenour in natural aad acquired abilities. It is certain lv nossible. and within the of probability, mat a nephew of General Montgomery, of Irish birth, might bean Alder man ot llu3 city rtiow it would hardly do to cast in im wiii his foreign origin. lie could point to his ancle of no higher birth, whose patriotism, chivalry and prowess will not, to say tbe least, suffer by comparison with any of the immortal heroes of Uie revolution nay, he could do more, he could noint to Lafayette he could point to Gen. Hamilton, and ask triumphanUy, if his foreign birth mde his patriotism the more doubtful, or his services and talents tbe less splendid.

But allow me, gentlemen, to say a word in regard to the consistent bearing ot those presses. Suppose then that the Senate tha nuzust Senate, (for so 1 esteem in of tbe United States bad resolved to celebrate theom tkin a suitable way, and bad placed Mr. Porter, an Irishman by birth, at the head of the committee, would Uie conductors of those presses those true soulcd Americans have takca fire at theappomt ment, and burned with indignation to see native members from Maine, New lamp hire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, half of Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, (I sav.l North Carolina. Alabama. Georgia.

Missouri, Missis sippi, overlooked 1 Would they' nave said that there was but one opinion amongst decent people about such an appointment 7 No, gentlemen, there would not have been a word Slid against it their noisy vapouring and swelling in the cause of native Americans would, on such an occasion, nave been nusncd to tbe stillness ot death. Agam, presses would insinuate that in those attacks they speak Uie sentiments of a large proportion of the American people. I deny the allegation in toto. I protest against any such calumny being chargeable to eillier a larme Drooortion or any mnaiihtrahlt numner nf thn Amwin Fwonle their native justice and magnanimity, added to a friendly recollection of thctr own origin, scout tbe idea. Nor is it strange mat ukj should; for that man or nation, who, for no other or better cause, would condemn a man on account ot nis aim an evententirely beyond his control, and even in tbis country over before the party is aware of it, would certainly be enti Ued to a small place amongst men or in the scale of nauons.

If an Irish ciUxen is to be a by word and a reproach, let him ask who is General Jackson, the Calhoun McDuffies, Clintons, McCobs, names so conspicuous in tbe of this country. Whatever their fathers may have been, they don't disgrace tins country so far from it, I woutd Ventura to affirm that tbe services rendered by the least of them would outweigh those of all the f'Othv declaimers about native Americans to be found in the Union. And I will add in conclusion, that amongst those despised citizens of foreign birth, are men of more character, probity and intelligence, than all the prominent leaders of the American party in the whole country. But 1 am wroog in saying, tha whole to country they occupy no each space they are like the merest speck on the bosom of the Pacifipk Ocean. In what I have said above, I beg it be distinctly understood, that taete is not one word designed to be disrespectful Alderman Purdy.

AMERICAN US. From the Raltimnre American. Beautiful Phenomenon.

At present it is much in the sam position with respect to our Earth as our new Moon when it is about three days old.

Bv viewing it through a telescope or good spy glass aooui twenty minutes after sun set (3 o'clock,) it appears in a crescent form, just like our new moon, although, to a common observer with the naked eye, it appears round, like any other star. This appearance can only be observed for about ten days longer. II. S. ACCIDENTS ON THE FOURTH.

Cheva lier de La Place, intimated his desire to interchange national civilities, but it appeared that General Jackson, incensed at the tardv progress ol the movements against the Indians, bad ordered off to the South every regular fit for duty, including marines, so that there were not enough left at this station to fire a salute. In this dilemma, a corps of civick artillery un der General Morton returned the frigate's salute from the Battery. His Honour the Mayor visited her the day after her arrival, and was received with a salute. L'Artemise.

Not long since, a Northern merchant and a Southern ren ter were journeying together by stage, when the conversation turned upon the profits and losses of each in their business. The Southerner having given in his inventory, the merchant replied, Well, sir, vou must be rich as Cresus." "Why not so rich, neither," rejoined the planter, "true, I raise a great deal of corn, and 1 have a great many negroes and hogs and I'll tell you how I come out at the end the year my hogs cat all my corn my niggers eat up my hogs, and nothing but niggers remain The Texan Agents at New Orleans have issued the follow ing card In consequence of hostilities having ceased between tho Texan and Mexican armies, we deem it fitting to state, mat at the present time further emigration to that country of ay other emigrants but those intending to settle down as cultivators of the soil, is unnecessary.

Lead Mines. It is reduced almost to a certainty that the vein of lead ore recently discovered and now worked in Ros sie, St. Lawrence county, extends westward through Alexandria, in this county.sorae 15or20 milesfromthe former place, and that it will prove a great source of wealth to individuals, and ot very considerable importance to this country generally.

We understand that an examination at or near Plessis, resulted in the discovery ot lead and zinc, in such quantities as to warrant the belief that the mine there will be equally productive with that of Rossie, which yields from 75 to SO per cent of pure lead. Contracts have been entered into in New ork, to deliver in that city, this season, some two hundred tons or ore from the latter mine, and at price a which ensures a fair profit to the proprietor. We hope the attention of mineralogists will be directed this wav.os there is every indication that this country will be as much distinguished for its mi wellh it is for its unrivalled water power, soil, and wuiineruai ana manufacturing purposes. ttriovn Eagle. ourselves of tlie present opportunity to announce that the Council awarded the medal of the Society to Sir J.

In all the other pla uei wo see douios simitar in snapu to our eann, las wo navagood reason to believe) in internal constitution, revolving in like manner, enlightened bv the same principal luminary ami by similar satellites, the subjects and the exciters of similar attractions, and possessing at least some similarity in Uie construction ef their surfaces and in the pheno mena ot their atmospheres, as far as spots and belts enable us to conjecture. Everything, in fact, leads us to conclude that they areb.idics of the same order: that, with spccilick differences, there is cumstanccs ot formation, which have bound all in one me chanical system respecting tho sun as the principal seat of InwVi htv.a olan i.inp.ia3..J 1 1 i oa one physical system, as testiheo by the similar arrangement of subordinate bodies, and the probable resemblance of their gaseous as well as their solid parts. But, wheu wc look into the sidereal world, the anr.Wv of system fails entirely. A star, it is true, may be conceiv ed analogous to our sun a double star, forming a binary system, though we have nothing here exactly like it, is still not remarkably diffjrent in its nature trom a single one but a star, regularly surrounded by dense nebulous matter, an irregular nebula in vt men one point is brighter than Uie rest. a nebula in which all idea of a stellar point is lot, all these present instances ol appearjiicc, gradually yet totally ditlV rent, and entirely dissimilar trom every permanent uoilv in our system.

The resolvibility of some of these nebula, im plying tnc existence ot an immense number ot stars at a proximity apparently much greater, in proortion to their individual brightness, than the stars which we commonly see, is a very striking phenomenon but tar more striking is the irresolvilulity of others, whose magnitude seems to imply comparative nearness, which, nevertheless, defy our teles copes, and wnoso general appearance seems obviously to contradict the notion ot consisting ol groups 01 stars. A mniig the most remarkable of these, I may mention the tH most conspicuous those of Andromeda and Orion. No o.ie, I think, who has seen these in a telesenpe of great light. the one like a lamp shimn" tlirouiili a homogeneous log, the other like a pile of cumuli clouds tossed together in the sain capricious manner in which we see them in our sum mer skies, can persuade himselt that Uiese can hcanyUiing but masses ot nebulous matter, the causes and tlie laws ot whose arrangement we should vainly endeavour to detect. 4 In these remarks 1 have alluded only to the difference lictwecn the present appearance of these bodies and that ol uie pianets depending' on onr sun.

We may now, however, consider the matter in another point of view. The phenome na oi tnc solar system impress upsn ii Hie notion not only ol similarity, but of contemporaneity at least, they seem to inform us that the lime which has elapsed since the slates of the planets were sensibly diilercnt, must Iks immensely greater than the time during Inch a "nidation of formation could have been sensible. But the contemplation of different nel)ula 8U2ests a new idea the Idea ot change. In one, we find nebulous matter in the wildest confusion in an nothcr, there arc spots in which, apparently, a concentra tion oi me matter nas been tormed by drawing logeinc the nebula from a larc space, and leaving tlie nei bourhood comparatively dark (an effect exhibited in sueh va rious ways, that it is impossible to consider it as an optical illusion, the effect of contrast) in othcis wc have rings ot nebulous matter inclosing a dark space: a more common case is the concentration which, in various degrees, exhibits the various appearances ot planetary nebula: and nebulous stars: and one very curious instance has been pointed out which the segregation has taken place in a honeycomb form, the lines of the honev comb beui nearly accompanied by lines of stars. But has Astronomy yet observed any change in these bodies We cannot say with certainty that it has yet the notion of change is not the less impressed upon U3.

To use the powerful illustratioii of Laplace, we look among them as among the trees of a forest the change during the interval of a glance is undiscoverahle, yet we perceive that thite are plants in all different stages we see that these sta are prooauiy reiateu 10 cacu oilier in me oruer 01 nine and we are irresistibly led to the conclusion, that the vegeta ble world in onccase, and the sidereal world in the other, exhibit to us, at one instant, a succession of changes rcuuirin lime, which the lite of man, or the duration ot a solar system. are alone sufficient to trace out in any one instance, Let it not be thought that thu telescopick minuteness ot some of these bodies is any argument against the importance of the investigation into their nature. The question as to the annual parallax of any nebula has hardly, perhaps, received suthcicnt attention; and its practical determination must ne cessarily be embarrassed with uiiliculties. I his only we can that the parallax ot those most frequently observed net conspicuous, and, probabl is not sensible, II the paral lax of the great nebula ot Orion be no greater than that of the stars most careluily observed, the breadth ol that nebula may be fifty or a hundred times as great as tho diameter of the earth's orbit. It may, then, well contain a sufficiency! of matter tor the formation of a sun and a system of planets.

With this consideration, the examination of nebulae acquiref a. new interest. 11 is not merely tue inspection 01 a series 01 natural changes, in which we have no greater interest than in the transitions from an egg to a moth, but it is the study of the successive steps by which worlds like that which we i nahit, and that which regulates our motions and our seasons, may have been organised from the most chaolick of all con ceivable slates. When to this we add, that the combination ot relative Diction parts with gradual concentration ol ma: is sutllcicnt to account generally lor the formation of planets ana satellites, possessing that remarkablo pro perly which is possessed by the bodies ot our system, ot re ly circular, we must at knowlede that the examination of in all their stages, presents nut merely a chance but a highly plausible chance of forming a distinct theory of cosmogony. And it we admire the genius of the mi ditv mathematician ho first pointed out the sitnule reimnnm.r bv which the transition from nebulous fluid to discrete planets may be shown tu be physically possible and probable, let us at the same pay our tribute of aumtration to thtf "great astronomer wnoso accurate observations and sagacious reflections gave the first ground for such a theory.

Rattle time has elapsed since the first observation of these silenlhoiies the observations of the greatest part of them have beeii made within our lifetimes: the first page in that part ot the history oi' astronomy which relates to these subjects is hardly yet traced. But the history of astronomy may yet be long enough to comprehend a series of visible changes and the most important clement for the value of that particular branch of it win oe me iiuness and accuracy ol the commencement. Happy would it be for the other parts of the science, if the pues oi uieir msiory were as well traced." Corrected by ROBfc.K B.
