The Occultation of Venus. The strange and beautiful appearance •••presenter! a few evenings since by the apparent close approximation of the planet •"•Venus and the Moon, was observed and admired by thousands of our citizens and many speculations and opinions were expressed as to the character of the mysterious phenomenon.
The inability of the naked eye to appreciate or measure the immense distance between our earth, the moon and the planet, led to some discussions as to the relative nearness of the moon and star to the earth. The average distance of the centre of the moon from that of the earth, is about 237,-
fact that Venus is a regular attendant upon the sun and is at times farther removed than the sun itself. Sir John F. W. Iler scliell, remavkr. in his treatise on Astronomy, that the "Planets make the entire circuit of the heavens untler very different circumstances. Two of them, Mercury and
Venus, pcrfoi this circuit evidently as attendants on the sun, from whose vicinity they never depart beyond a certain limit. They aie seen sometimes to the west of it. In the former case they appear conspicuous over the western horizon, just after
Sunset, aii.l are called evening stars.''
"Venn.-
000 miles, while the distance of Venus is many thousand miles greater. In proof of pact to freedom when deinagogir-m 1 this statement we need onlv mention the 'n with I operv to peril, the birtnright oi
especially, appears occasionally
in this situation with a dazzling lustre and in favorable circumstances maybe observed to cast a pretty strong shadow. When they happen to be west of Hie sun, they rise
leforc that luminmy in the morning, and appear over the eastern horizon as morning siars: they do not however, attain the .same elcvyatiui from the sun. Mercury never attains a greater angular distance from it than
about 29 cleg., while Venus extends her excursions on either side to about 47 deg.— When they have receded from the sun, eastward, to their respective distances, they remain for a time, as it were, immoveable with respect to it, and are carried along
with it in the clip lie with a motion equal to its own but presently they begin to approach it, or, which comes to the same, their motion in longitude diminishes, and the sun gains upon them.^As this approach
goes on, their continuance above, the horizon after sunset becomes daily shorter, (ill at length they set before the darkness has bccome sufficient to allow of their bein^ teen. For a time, then, they are not seen at all, unless on very rare occasions, when they are to be observed passing across the sun's dihe as small, round, well-defined
black-spots, totally different in appearance from the solar spots. These phenomena" are emphatically called transits of the respective planets across the sun, and take place when the earth happens to be passing the line of (heir nodes while they are in
that part of their orbits, just as in the account wo have given of a solar eclipse.— After having thus continued invisible for a time, however, they begin to appear on the other side of the sun, at first showing themselves only for a few minutes before sunrise, and gradually longer and longer as thev recede from liim. At this time their
heavens but their recess from the sun is still maintained by the advance of that luminary along the ecliptic, which continues to leave them behind, until, having reversed their motion, and become again direct, they acquire sufficient speed to commence overtaking him—at which moment they have their greatest western elongation and thus is a kind oscillary movement kept up, while the general advance
motion in longitude is rapidly retrograde. Before they attain their greatest elongation, °pp°sed to well-known facts in history, however, they become stationary in the
along the eciipitc goes on." But the phenomenon alluded to in the formci pait of this article is what is termed by astronomers an oecultation of Venus.— The moon being much nearer to the earth than any of the planetary bodies, in its revolutions around the earth must at one time or other pass over and occult or eclipse every star and planet within a certain described zone, accurately described in astroiinicftl works. Occultation to a" T1 ie as an eli
the basis of important astronomical cal
culations. This occultation was thought by-some to be the "Transit-of Vejius that
term however: has reference to the passage of the planet Venus acros the disc of the
sun, or the appearace of Venus directly between the earth and sun, which is regarded as one of the most important occurrences in astronomy Sir John F. W. Herchel,
remarked in his Treatise: "So important lias this observation appeared to astronomers, that at the last transit of Venus, in 1769, expeditions were fitted out,, on the most efficient scale, by the British, French, Russian, and other governments, to the remotest corners of the globe, for the express purpose of performing it. The celebrated expedition of Captain Cook to Otaheite
was one of them."
The Cincinnati Enquirer and the Western Christian Advocate—The Freedom of the Press
nobly
vindicated.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has recently charged heavily upon the Western Christiah Advocate, the organ of the Methodist Church in the West, in consequence of an editorial account of the bloody election riots which occurred in that city. The Rev.
Charles Elliot, editor of tho Advocate, is charged with falsehood in making his report and with being a member of a Know Nothing lodge. He replies to the latter charge by saying that he is a foreigner by
birth and could not belong if he were so disposed, and then establishes by facts the cor
rectness of his report. He states his conviction of the fact that the great body of the good, moral and religious citizens voted the American ticket. This article coneludes with the following eloquent and manly paragraph. When the Enquirer silences that battery he may expect that every Anieriean press will be muzzled. "As to the Enquirer's friendly solicitude about our "engaging in politics," we have only to say, that, in the ordinary mere political party issues, we have no concern we feel no interest and take no part in them. But when great moral principle* are broken down, snored national laith is annulled—and annulled, too, for the purpose of extending "the sum of all villainy" over territory consecrated by solemn com-
American citizens when it joins hand in hand with rum-sellers to aid spreading perpetuating the blighting mildew of intemperance—we should not be true to our
manhood, to our Christianity, to our Church, nor to our God, did we not speak out in earnest and solemn terms. Wi: HAVK so STOKEN, WE SUAI.r, t'ONTIXUF. SO TO SPEAK! God being our helper, we will defend the truth and the right. The Enuirernced have no apprehensions about
i.juii the
Church being dis.sali.-fied with our course. When such shall prove to be the case, we can easily relinquish our post but we cannot cease to vindicate the truth.— But, for the Enquirer's special benefit, -we will say, that while our course has been decided, and w« .have spoken out upon the great politico-moral questions of the day, only two or our twenty-seven thousand subscribers have deserted us on that account, and for those two we have received more than half a dozen each. No, Mr. Enquirer, those persons who go in for annulling sacred compacts, upholding and extending slavery, sustaining Popery, and selling ruin, are men of altogether a different character from those who sustain Protestant Churches and patronize religious newspapers."
MR. CiiANPi.r.n's DOCTRINE DENIED A-
SHOAD.—When the Hon. Joseph. R. Chandler, of Philadelphia, Member of Congress, ventured upon an exposition of Popery, we said that his doctrine would not be admilted by those who knew the system which
that bold but not learned gentleman undertook to defend. lie made a statement suited to the American market, and thousands who have road his speech will never know how ridiculous and monstrous his position appears to those who know what Popeiy really is. The following paragraph is from
a London paper:
"An American Roman Catholic member of Congress having repudiated the power of the Pope to depose temporal sovereigns the Tablet [a Roman Catholic paper] reminds its readers, that "two popes, celebrated, among other acts noble and heroic, for deposing sovreigns, are numbered wilh the saints—Gregory VII. and Pius A .— These Popes did not think, nor did those who canonized them think, that they had exceeded their powers, or had diverted their spiritual authority into unlawful channels.' The American Legislator having also denied the right of the Pope to interfere in the relations between subjects and their sovereigns, the writer in the Tablet says ''I he Godless Colleges in Ireland, the Hierarchy in Englaad, and the troubles of Piedmont, all witness together against this unchristian opinion."
Here Mr. Chandler's opinion is denounced by high Roman Catholic authority, as
a"d
as absolutely unchristian. W hat will
the Member of Congress say to this
Lafayette Elections.
The American Ticket, we understand, has tri umpired over the Saj Nicht. in the city of Lafayette. The election was warmly contested, each
partv
bringing all its force into the field. Chris. Miller, the American candidate for Mayor is elected bv about 2G votes. Thd American Marshall,
Trustees,
Clerk and Treasurer, and six out of ten
Cnuncilmen were elected and but four of the Say Nicht.
Campbell, Galey & Harter.—We invite the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Messrs. Campbell, Galey & Harter, who have opened their very large and splendid Stock of Dry Goods, Ready.Made Clothing, Hard-Ware and Groceries, in Commercial Block. They occupy two rooms, Nos. 7 and 8, and assure their numerous
friends that their Stock of Goods cannot be
WHERE IS BISHOP REZE? "We call the special attention of our readers to thefollowing article, relative to Bishop Reze of Detroit, who was ordered -'to Rome by the Pope, and it is believed, has been imprisoned in-the holy city for many years past.. The fact that an American citizen, has been taken from his field of labor in this country and confined in a foreign prison by a foreign potentate, will strike with peculiar force upon the mind of every American citizen. When such things occur, who will deny the controlling powers of the Pope over Catholics in these United States If he exercises such despotic power over the Bishops, what may
Can he not controll them in any and every way he pleases The Pope's power is su^ premc, and the fact may not be denied.—
The American party deny to the Pope the exercise of any such authority in this country, and they intend that the despotic power now exercised by liis holiness shall be wrested from him. The people of the United States are capable of governing themselves without any of his interference and when Roman Catholics come to this country and make this their home, we desire that they should enjoy the blessings and privileges guaranteed to them by our glorious constitution. The American party have proclaimed to the world that this
foreign Popish despotism shall no longer be brought to bear upon American citizens. Freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom to worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience, has been
guaranteed to each and every American citizen, and we desire to see this glorious principle* wrought out by our revolutionary Fathers, preserved, perpetuated and strengthened by the lapse of each revolving year. Too long already has the Romish Hierarchy wielded its despotic powers in
this fair land—too long has she laid her oppressive hand upon American citizens— too long has she drawn a veil of thick darkness over the minds of her subjects. That despotic power will yet be crushed— that oppressive hand will yet drop palsied and powerless—that veil of darkness will yet le rent.
The glorious light of freedom's sun will glow brightly upon the Catholic world— her teeming thousands will awake to newness of life—buoyant hopes will animate their hearts, and they will yet rejoice in the exalted blessings and privileges of American liberty.
But read the following article and reflect upon its contents: "Several years since public curiosity was on tiptoe to leain the fate of Bishop iveze. This Bishop, who is a native born citizen of Michigan, and was Catholic.
out no answer •TVH.S made to this inquiry. It was generally believed that the Pope had ordered Bishop Reze to Rome for the express purpose of punishing him for some dorleection of duty,but nothing definite was known beyond the laet that lie leit Detroit quite unexpectedly, and that he was bound tor Rome. The Pope is vested with full power to issue such orders to his Bishops in any part of the world, and they are bound to obey him. Tho fact of Bishop Reze's mysterious disappearance was almost forgotten, and the question "Whore is Bishop Reze?" had almost entirely ceased, when the Metropolitan Catholic Almanac for 1855, under the head of "P-eiates who have retired from otHee," throws a faint light upon the subject. The list oi these retired Prelates is as follon-. "'1 he Right Rev. Frederick Reze, Bishop of Detroit, consecrated Oct. G, l£?33. "The Right Rev. Celestine do la Halandlere, se-jond Bishop ot Vincennes, consecrated August, 1839. "1 he Right Rev. Guy IgnatiusChebiat, late coadjutator of Louisville, Kentucky, consecrated July 20, 1S34.
These men have, probably, all shared a similar fate. It is pretty generally understood that Bishop Reze is confined in a dungeon at Rome, and although the citizens of Detroit have petitioned for his release, and the Congress of the United States have called for it, the Pope pays no regard to such calls.— Secretary.
•PURDUE& STACY'S WHOLESALE HOUSE— We refer merchants and business men to the advertisements of this establishment at Lafayette, Ind., in to-day's paper. It has
the name of being the largest ane most comprehensive wholesale establishment in the State. The Lafayette American thus speaks of the House, and the advantage it is to country merchants. "Superior facilities enable this House to supply both country and village merchants with their usual variety of Goods at much cheaper rates than they would cost if purchased in Eastern or Southern cities. Traveling expenses, freight, and many other in* cidental expenses that eat away profits, are entirely saved by purchasing nearer home. It is an established fact, that this House can afford to sell Goods cheaper than they

gST We beg of our noble and royal Count, no longer to remain under the false im
pression that we are enraged in consequence of his misrepresentations of our remarks oil our old Cap. We felt not in the slightest degree ruffled in temper. On the contrary we were pleased to afford tho Count and his numerous retinue of subrosas, an opportu
nity of. displaying in so happy a manner their wonderful satyrical powers and their flashing wit. We can enjoy such brilliant sallies and sublime rhapsodies even at our own expense. Wo would not dimn the light of evening's starry host—we wouldnot mar the beauty nor the lustre of the coral and the diamond, nor would we cast a
umns of the Review. Oh, no! Shine on! shine on!! noble advocates of Slavery,
Rum and Popery. Worthy, thrice worthy are you of a rich reward! We can also assure our royal neighbor that we entered all the circles we desired to -were treated with as much rcspect as ordinary Iloosiers could expect and we were not repulsed from any society, though it was evident that the rusty appearance of our old cap made a decided impression upon some of the acephalous tribe whose duty it is to wait upon travelers. So well were we pleased with our trip that we expect to go again before many years have rolled around.
It is not at all surprising that our remarks should be perverted by the noble Count. 'Tis his constant .custom—a second nature. For him or his subrosas to speak fairly and truly of us would be as
light from an opaque body. Perversion, misrepresentation, wi'awea bit o' flbbin', are among his most cultivated faculties, in the exercise of which he most delights, and if he can thus please himself and cater to the tastes and appetites of his numerous admirers we certainly cannot object.— But he can be fullv assured that we have
not indulged a single angry feeling.

Accidental Drowning.
A man by the name of Nichols was drowned on Saturday last by falling off the steamer Equator, which was lying at the foot of Main street, in this city. Nichols and his family consisting of a wife and three or four children had been slopping at the City Hotel for some days. About noon on Saturday, they went on board the steamer with the intention of going to Attica. After being shown into the cabin, Nicholas.insisted on going below to look after some baggage. A short time after his hat was seen floating down the river, which leads to the supposition that he fell overboard and sunK in the water. His distressed family returned to the Hotel, mourning at their sudden loss, which leaves them destitute, of nearly everything,dependent on the world's charity.—Lafayette American.
A TORNADO.
A terrible tornado occurred in the vicinity of Niagara Falls on the morning of the I9th. The following particulars are given by a corresponbent of the Buffalo Dem^ ocracy: 5
At Broekport, the wind was so violent as to tear down fences, uproot and twist off tier's, and demolishe chimneys by the wholesale. Huge hail stones, big as hens' eggs, fell in large quantities.
At Albion, the blow was not so violent, but it was very dark obliged to light lamps to see to eat breakfast. All along the road between Broekport and the suspension bridge, the fences were stiewn like cob houses kicked by spunky boys. In many places, large trees were blown or twisted off at their trunks. Near Pekin Niagara county, several largo trees were plown across the railroad track. Three or four houses in that neighborhood were blown down heard a farmer say who got on the cars at Pekin station, that timber in his woods-: had been damaged to the extent of §1,200 or 1,500.
At Niagara—month of the river—the extensive car manufactory of Brainard. Pierce & Co. was almost entirely demolished damage about $120,000. The building was of wood, some 200 feet long, and 70 wide. A great number of dwellings v»crc unroofed, and some utterly ruined. The gable end of the Scotch Presbyterian Church was blown in, slick and clean, and the building generally injured. A daguerrean atand in !hJ streat was keeled over, and the artist and his son seriously hurt, the latter supposed fatally. A railroad car standing on the track was lifted up, bodily, and carried some four rods. Two schooners, seen just before the biow come up, off Niagara, were not to be seen after it passed over, and were supposed to have foundered.
At the suspension bridge the blow was most violent, doing more or less damage. The men wh- had just commenced work on the bridge, painting, tfee., ran off when they saw the gale coming, and some were blown violently from one side to the other one narrowly escaped being blown into the liver. Tho wind howled and screamed through the gorge with a perfect rush' The bridge, however, sustained not the slightest injury, and no vibration was perceptible, when the gale was at its highest pitch.

OLD MAIDS.-^-Thoughtless young people delight in making fun of old maids A little consideration would teach them better. Some of the kindest, truest and best .women we have ever known were old maids. It is a pity—nav, it is even cruel, to wound the feelings of any one—a generous heart would not stoop to it—more especially if that one be a woman. Alas! how little do we know of the trials and sufferings of many who are sneeringly denominated old maids! Perhaps the con stancy of yonthful affection, the qure and deep devotion of a first lovo has kept many a woman single for life.
