T l OF T1IR SUN AND SOLAR SYSTEM. it'j

has lonj; since been generally admitted as a fact, that the Sun is immovcab'y fixed in the centre of its own planetary system. A From the dark snots visible on the -urface

of the Sun, it has however, been ascers ained that that Luminary revolves on its txis once in 25 days.

It has been briefly ftuigented by some able philosophers, that the solar system, together with all the innumerable suns and bystcms in the im nense labyrinth of nature, max he linked together by one common tie, and thus Cmst tuto one grand assemblage, or system of systems, which is perpetually revolving in its united capacity around the commo i axle or centre of the Universe Is it not a little surpiLing that at this age

of knowledge and inquiry, the science of astronomy should be so generally neglected, it is much to be hoped that the time is not far distant, w hen the attention of iitcary men will be generally directed to this irreat and inieiestine subject, and when a more thorough and finished theory respecting the sun and solar system shall be adopted.

It is said the new line between Maine nu Lowei Canada will throw a lr.nre Ten ilory into the former which is now conidcrcd as part ol Lower Canada ; and, on the other hand, that the line between New-York and anada; on Lake Champaign, will leave Rouse's Point (on which 'he United States have expended be- ' ween two and three hundred thousand mllars in fortifications) within the Briiisli province. It is turthcr said, that a proposal has been discussed bv the Commissioners, for the ccnfiimation ot the old lines, and heretofore understood, and that the lerriioi y which would ac cure to Maine, be iriven as an r.fiset ii
