To ih i he replied in substance as follows; Cin. CJa .. "In that event, sir, I should uive my vot, regardless of opinions expressed and acted upon wdien I was the Representative of Virginia, in favor of the Charter.

The Cw- Struck the Sun.' Stents C. Walk

er, llsq., of the Philadelphia Observatory, has communicated to Mr. Chandler's Gazette a seiies of observations which have occupied him eight or ti n hours a day since the 1 1 th of March. Mr. W alker h s been assisted by Messrs. Kendall and Downs. M r. W concludes that the late Comet did, on die 'Tth of February last, strike the Sun and rtOuti(if If these calculations prove correct, this must be considered the mo-t remsrkable circumstances in the annals of astronomy. We h ive time nnd loom only for the concluding passages of their communication: A' V. Sun. -Mr. Walker states that -Click's comet is gradua'Iv winding itself up, and must some time or oilier experience the fjte of this comet of 1S43. 'JTi.it is to say, it murt actually come in contact with the atmosphere or permanent portions of the body of the sun. It has already been mattei of speculation with astronomers when this event shall occur f however remote) what will be the fate of the comet! Will it join the mass of the j sun a drop in an ocean or will it rebound and ! sl.irce off in unother orbit, an hyperbola, for in'stance and never return! IS'ow that wbieh is of the sun, and to have been so much resisted ir its course as to pass otf in a path which prolonged backwards, enters the Sun. It may have been the comet of tr.r.s or 1C'.(. or l oth and in thi case something like a shock, or rebound, must have occuired at this perihelio i pnsa:;o, which Ii.ts changed tin? orbit into an hyperbola, passing through the sun. Whenever a shock of two bodies takes place of which one is considered as fixed, the suhse-.jucnt path of the other prolonged backwards, passes through the first. We repeat it, that we otfer these views of the subject n suggestions merely, and hope that others wilt be more fortunate in arriving at a positive certiintv. The perturbations have not been commuted. It is hardly possible that thev can have produced tin alteration of the orbit. If such hi alteration li'is actually taken place, t'ne powerful resistance of ii medium near the tun or attual contact vvuh the suii'u ntmo.sphtrr- can alone account for it.' An Incident. We attended on Tuesday last the funeral of a most eminent lady, whose death has caused many a heart to bleed, and which vvaa invested bv circumstacea under which it occurred with peculiar solemnity. A large assemblage was present on the occasion, and a silence only exceeded by that of the irrave, pervaded the whole house. Just at this moment, when the Minister of (iod was about to break the death-like silence, an old family (dock which stood in a corner of the room and was hidden from view by the white drapery that shrouded it, struck out in tones of awful distinctness the passing hour. The effect was ehctricah There was a general sensation and movement, es if each individual present felt how striking a moral lesson was conveyed by that simple incident. It was a sermon within itsell. Those impressive lines of Young immediately ro-C '. our ini-jd and doubtless ta the minds of others: The bell strkes one. We tt-ke no note of time 'Uut from its loss. To give it then a tongue, Is wise in man. As if an Angel spoke. I feel the solemn sound. If heard aright, It is the knell of my departed hours. Where are they? With the years beyond the flood. Is the signal that demand- despatch.' Morally considered, a clock is perhaps at all times one of the most useful monitors we have. Look at it, we behold the progress of time; hear it 6trike, we are told another hour is gone. What is the ae rf man! At best but a few vears. Years are comprised of days, days ot hours, hours of minutes, and minutes of seconds. Man's life is made up of seconds. A single second is all that separates him Irom eternity. Look at the el'K'k. How fa-t those seconds sme-eed each other; how rapidly they eo; yet every one that nasses shortens lite. K.icigh Register Si.cfi.Aii AtTiact.
