TH* WKATHEK.—After

the long severe

"cold, there seems wilhin a day or two slight inclir.ntion in tho wenther to soften down a little—but wo are afraid to brag, least we may oil be froze up again to-morrow mornr ing. There has been much snow up the Wabash, and the probability is, we shall tnjt 'short time, have a fine rise in the rivet^^^

WNGRESSIONALWSfRICT COXVEN-

Hendricks, Putnam, Clay and Vigo counties have spoken in favour of Greencastle as the place for holding the District Convention. Of course Parke and Vermillion will yield to the majority—all that is wanted, is the point Settled. We- insider therefore the place fixed. Now as to the time—sumo fears are entertained that all the counties may not .have their delegates elccted for so early a day as has been mentioned—but it is supposed that all may be ready by the first Tuesday in May. And that we think early enough— giving the nominee three months to canvass the District. Now let us all sign and settle the matter—GREKNCASTLB the piace—tho first Tuesday in Mny tho time.

2 JAMES WHITCOMB. ,-/j

This gentleman, the nominee of a Democratic Convention, for Governor, has commenced canvassing the State, as the regular candidate of the party which placed him in nomination. By the principles avowed by that party, must Mr. WHITCOMB stand or fall by these must ho sink or swim. We are not authorized to judge of him from any other standard—We cannot separate him, ns a politician, or candidate for the gubernatorial chair, from those who placed him in that position. Their principles are hia—He can:not, if hetiftsired, be any thing,'ll.an the representative of the very wishes acknowleged and avowed, as the cardinal points, maintained and proclaimed, by the Democratic, alias

Locofoco party of Indiana. Let us not be deceived—The ultra measures and principles of that party, are those, which their Governor, let his name be what it may, will be obliged, if elected, to carry out to their full extent. Opposition to a National Currency—opposition to the Tariff, and the distribution of tho proceeds of ptiblic land sales amongst the States, are known to bo some of the ruling principles of the party whose Convention placed

JANES WHITCONB

in nomination for

Governor. We shall hereafter extract copiously from the proceedings of that Convention, by way of placing our V\ hig frionds on iheir guard—and inducing them to inquire and examine as to who's who—and what's what, in the very matter at issue between tho friends of

During h«« dissections of our opponents— Whigs are passing on calmly and smoothly. Their Convention is settled for May, 1844. And as to the manner and man for nomination—there will probably be scarcely a dissenting voicc in the great Whig family.

MISSOURI CURHBNCF LAW.— An act has just passed the Missouri Legislature prohibiting, after the first of July next, all corporations and bodies politic, money brokers, and exchange dealers, from receiving or passing any paper currency of a less denomination than five Dollars—or less than ten Dollars after the 1st of January, 1844. The act also prohibits them after the last date, from receiving or passing any suspended or non-spe-cie paying bank notes.

THE COMET.

Tfte,C^6* tfiflfc«L.out conspicuously aliout sunset Inst evening, (Tuesday.) the lonjr bushy tail •tretchlng from near the-southweStern horizon to near thezeiHih. Some fearful imaginations, filled with the follies of Millrrisrn, were foolishly frightened at its aspect.— Some recent wriier snvs:

Of 504 Comets that hnvo entered the solar system 24 have passed between Mercury and the Sun. 47 within Venus, 58 between Venus and the earth. 73 between the Earth and Mars, and 302 between Mars and the orbit of Jupiier, and no casualitr has occurred to primary or snttnlite. The Comet of 1770 passed through the system of Jupiter without producing the slightest effect. Still many people are alarmed at these erratic bodies, these rail cars of the stellar regions, the mystery of whose office, and desiiny makes their astronomy ol interest. With reference to the danger of* Comet's striking the Earth, we here add that the Coinet Encke, whose period is only 1207 days, and nearest the Earth of all the Comets known, cannot come in collision short of a period of 219,000.000 of years, which calculation is based on astronomical facts.

The present phenomenon more resembles the zodiacal ligot, which we should have called it, if the eastern magi hnd not pronounced it a Comet.

large amount of specie

has lately reached this country from abroad. The Great Western brought over about #750,000* And much more was offered for remittance from England but the underwriters dafe not take the risk. This flow of specie is considered in a great degree as the effects and results of the Tariff. By keeping back the manufactured goods of foreign countries,the balance of trade is naturally turned in our favour. This was calculated as the proper oontequeoce and eifigote of tho Tariff jaws—— and fully equals the expectation* of the friends of that measure. The mere amount of money received is hardly of as much cdbsequence, as the fact, that we do not afford ao ready a market as heretofore for certain European luxuries, which can be easily dispensed with. And further, as foreign manufacturers cannot do without our staples—they are forced 4o buy with specie—and as a consequence, we may well calculate upon a still greater flow of gold and silver from Europe to this country.

NATURE

OF COM

ETS.

In afltWfof ignorance cornels have always, from their extraordinary appearance, been source* of superstitious terror to mankind. This fear has been dissipated by the light of science, which has shown that the appearance of comets are regulated by the same laws as other celestial phenomena. We are still, however, almo«t entirely ignorant of-the nature of these (todies, though a great manv hypotheses ?»ave hcen formed concerning them. They were considered by some of the ancients, and particularly bv Aratoile, as accidental fires or meteors genera tea in the atmosphere of the earth but this opinion is obviously groundless. they were connected with the earth or its atmosphere, they would partake of the diurnal motion on the axis, and coald not therefore appear to have a diunwi revolution in the heavens along with the other celestial bodies. Besides, their havtng no diurnal parallax proves that they are at a grriU distance from the earth while the faci of their apparent morion being affected by the annual motion of the earth sbawaihat they are situated in the planetary regfwis. Observation has demonstrated, that like the planets, thev are permanent bodies, and, in all probability, derive their light, from the sun.

From the small portion of tne orbit of any comet which we have opportunity of observing, we cannot ascertain w«n sufficient accuracy the elements necessary for determining the periods of its return bat supposing that their orbits are not disturbed by any cause in those distant regions of space through which the greater portion of the paths of comets lie, it is evident that by accurately observing all the comets that come with in view, and carefully recording the results, in the course of ages, the return of mat.y comets may he detected, and their periodic times ascertained. Hcnce the greater axis ot the orbit of each may be determined oy Kepler^ third law, sad the comet's leaal distance from the sun being found by observe lions, the lees axis will also become known.

Damgtr qf Cm*t*— As the comets traverse the planetary reciona in ail directions, it is natural to inquire whether there is not a possibility that soma oae of them may approach ao near to the earth as greatly to disturb its motion, or by actual contrast to product the most disastrous effects. Opon this subject there is no reasonable ground for (ear. If it mil aheolutety impossible that a comet may come ia contact with the eartfa. the probabilities agau»t saoh an event happening as millions to one. Among bodies ao small ia comparison with the immense space in which they move, aad moving with all velocities, and ia orbits that are inclined in all directions, end ere oi aH dimensions, bow then abaII they oome ia contact. Small, however, as this probability ts for any one age, if take into account a long series of ages, {fee probability jnay be greatlv net eased.

A Los# JOUBKBY,—Some cyphering genius has been engaged in some interesting calculations, based upon the distance which the U. S. mails travelled during 1843* The matte traversed 11,644,633 miles on horseback. 18.757,096 miles in coaches and 4,434,28* mile* by railroad and stwmbwt, during the year finding SOihJane, 1S42—total* 34JB&*> 991 mites, equal to 145 voyages to the moon, or 1398 voyages around the world. To go this distance would have occupied a locomotive for 1&4 years., running at the- rats of 80 miles anhour, night and day,

From the Nrw York Journal of Ccmmtreer' The sanef* Case. The U. S. Court n» Juritdictkni in it. U- S. Cotcrrr COURT.—Before Jutfga Ben The Coprt decided jhis morning oa the appK 'made to it by the Grand Jury, to know whethei had jurisdiction in the case of 4he alleged committed on board the brig Somers.

Judge Betts read a loagaad elaborate opinion dR the case, end concluded by, saying that the eaquirift of the Court were broad and general enquiries, goitfft for beyonWrnny faets existing as far as the Court wMa* ware n, in the complaints which had been laid bftoe the Grand Jary. .«

They had enquired .of the Court can they laktiognizance of any offence committed on board sbipi of war on the high seas, or if the Court can take juri*lifction over ofipnees committed by others than ihool id the naval aervice, and if so, is it the province o&liM Grand Jury to inquire into the alleged offence wtlmitted by Comrrjaiwler McKenjie oa board thejSomers, which enquiries-included the case of the seamen on board that ^hjp. aqd whether it «ras then* del|[ to enquire into the mutiny or attempted money On btprtd that vessel.' "Li reply to your enquiry, state—"The Grind Jurv has jurisdiction to indict persons not belonging i» the Navy, for offences mmmjtted on the high season board ships of .war. ana also think they have. to indict persons belonging to the Navy lor Fe committed on board ships of war. on tlie high where snch felonies are not within the jurisdicti a Court Martini.^

The Grand Jury has no authority tolhqnire into homicide charged to have been committed on board brig SomVrs, nor into the offence of mutiny or ous conduct by any of the crew of (hat vessel. &

When this decision was given there was soma ping of hands and other tes'imonials of the gratification felt in the result by a part of the audience, whjfc

however, censeti immediately on thff tofficers of court ordering "silence in court." On the si me day, the Grand Jurv, having reti to their room, and tafcen ihto consideration the plaints in the case of the Somers, returned soon in the Court with these complaints, endorsed—"0|#missed for want of jurisdiction." The Grand Jury, after having been thanked bv the Court for tltsit tience, were discharged tine die.

The following resolution offered by a member, was adopted by acclamation Rcolcrd, That HENRY CLAY, o? Kentucky, has the1 entire confidence of the Whigs of Illinois that, as a candidate for the Presidency in 1844, he would be out choice in preference to any dutinguisned Statesman or the Whig party but ncting as we do, from principle, and not for men, we pledge ourselves to rally to th% support of the nominee of the National Convention hoping that the selection will fall on "HARRT OF THE WEST," the first and dearest hope of our suffering country.
