MITCHELL'S LECTURE ON COMETS The second lecture of Professor Mitchell at Smith ?fe Nixon's Hall, on Thursday evening, 21st inst., was attended by an audience composed of the most intellectual of our citizens, all of whom were no doubt entertained and instructed by his able discourse, which for more than an hour and a half was listened to with profound attention. In observing the orbits of the planets, in essaying to untavel the mysteries of the starry heavens, the lecturer experienced the sublimity of his vocation, and in tracing the courses of Comets through their immense cycles, until they again appeared after rolling years, he felt that he was entering the vestibule of the temple of God. lie was lost, and every one must be, in the vastness of the plan of creation, when he reflected on the boundlessness of space, and the wonders of the planetary system. Neptune, tbo sentinel of lhat system, is three thousand millions of miles from the sun, and eighty thousand times deeper sunk in space than is our eartli from the central sun. It would be supposed that comets moving, as they do, irregularly through space and with such tremendous Telocity, would come in contact with some of the fixed stars; but tho reason that they do not is apparent, when we remembered that tho nearest of those are. so far removed from the earth as to require two years for their light to reach us, while the light from the most distant comets comes to us in two days. There is no end no limit to the universal mind and plan ; and although wo know that tho planets and stars are kept in their , places by the law of gravitation, wo are ignorant of what that gravitation itself is. It is, said the lecturer, nothing more than the tho expression of the will of God, the power of the right hand of Deity, as he holds the universo together. The mind that contemplates tho heavens feels its immortality; knows it lives and thinks, and rises upward and upward, with no bar to its progress but Divinity itself.? Notwithstanding all that labor, and study, aud research have done in six thousand years, sciunco as yet stands but on the threshold of knowledge. We know even now comparatively nothing of tho heavens. Every star that wc can see, may be a central system of planets, with its asteriods, moons and comets. Comets have ever puzzled tho scicntific world, because they are subject, apparently, to no law, such as the planets aro; they como from regions of impenetrable space, moving with varied degrees of velocity and in every direction. Newton thought tho comet of 1680 came near enough to tho ai.ntsvl.~1 .?? * ?~<i w w iicnicu iuii inousaua limes noner than red-hot iron, and that it would require one million of years to cool; but this was mere speculation. Some comets seemed gaseous, some fluid, and some solid like our Earth, as was proved by their having caused a partial eclipse of the sun and occullations of the Btars in passing between them and the eye. The lecturer had examined a number of comets And found them all nebulous ; and observed the planets through them without j much diminution of their light. Comets have appeared differently At different periods. A great many years past one had seemed as largo and brilliant as tho sun itself, and another, two and a half cen* turies ago, the size of tho moon. ?* . ' Singular,- and various effects were produced upon Comets by tL$ win. One that Herschel bod observed fire'C"appearod filmy, ? then brighter as it neared; the sun, then radiating light, grew very1 splendid, and finally passed out of vision. On its reappearance, it was.brilliant in the centre, and seemed to hare a space or medium ftbout it, and a nebulous matter outside of that. Newton %it observed lhat the comet of 1660 shot out from its nucleous in two days au immense stream of light or tail, which mu|t hard been %ne hundred and twenty ipi/jiona of miles long. - The comet of 1811 showed ftdetutfliona of radiance; light would ftash (com one extreme,, to the v other, which induced Ilerschei to believe that this simple eflfact was caused by elec* tiicity; that the sun*and the comets were charged with the same kind of electricity, and that thefatter were 'consequently .repell<fil This vfew was afterwards found of tbo eteo4^?c?i events ennaed ll* jon^ luminous trains usually emanatiife from These trains shoot outwy?tfroiii' a \ " '?. "& . m VjiXL - y <1flft? ' 1 tiio sun, contrary to the law of gravitation, which proves that oleetrioity nets upon tho comets and is stronger than that law. Tho sun influences comets as much as tho magnet does the needle. Conietary matter often settles rouiul tho ho<ly of a comet ami increases instead of diminishing as it removes from the sun, which the lecturer thought could bo ex plained l>y tho hypothesis that tho comet became cold and heneo tho atmosphere about it assumed the shapo of vapor, so presenting tho seeming enlargement. More than thirty years ngo, a distinguished astronomer had taken daily observations of the spots upon the sun, caused by cavities in tho solar atmosphere, and had found that they steadily increased for a certain . l .1:.1... 1 . I - |m.iiuu aim muii umimiMifu , aim illlUr <1 i long and careful calculation, that the max- j ima and minima of tlieso spots exactly cor- ; responded with the variations of the magnetic needle. Tho largest comct if compressed into a solid form would not weigh one-tenth as much as the earth. They did not effect tho planets at all, but were themselves liable to gravitation. i I There were, in tho opinion of the lecturer, about threo million five hundred thousand comets passing through space, in j elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic curves, ! which at certain periods, bring them back to view. It was a matter of importance to know if any of the plants had ever come into collision with any of these comets, or if any injury had been received therefrom by tho starry system. Astronomy could discover and would know if any such colli sion liatl at any time occurred. Tlio motions and revolutions of the earth had not been changed a particle in livo thousand years; nor had Jupiter,nor Saturn, nor tho Moon, in the least. The equilibrium of all had been exactly preserved. Thus we sec that God has made tho Universe, and it must stand. A Comet may strike the Eaith within a month. No one can, nor will Science ever bo enabled to determine this, the lecturer thought; but reasoning from the past, and from the good ness, wisdom, rnd Omnipotence of tho Creator, we must concludo lie had made the sj'stem such that chanco could not intervene. The Iscturer deemed it important to inquire what fills tho measureless expanse of space ? Was it the pure ether that conveys light, and gives life? or does it contain a resisting power j many astronomers nau thought so; but the Iccturer could not agree with tlicm; although they ha<l advanced, as an argument in favor of their theory, that Comets 011 their re-appcaranco were smaller than before. This the professor ascribed to the effect of the sun upon the comets?parts of their nebulous substance being thrown off by its heat. If space were filled with a resisting medium, tlio comets and the earth would in time, be plunged into the sun, and destroyed. In conclusion he referred to the present anxiety upon the subject of comets; said it had arisen upon trivial grounds, and that we had 110 more cause to fear the destruction of the earth by a comet than to doubt the wisdom of an overruling Providence.? Cincinnati Gazelle. Count Them?Count what? Why count tho mercies which have been quietly falling in your path through CTcry period of your history. Down they como every morning and every evening, as anjrel inessen gers from tho father of lights, to toll you of your Lest friend in heaven. Have you lived these years, wasting mercies, treading them beneath your feet, and consuming them every day, and never yet realized from whence they came ? If you have, Heaven pitty you ! You have murmured under affliction ; but who has heard you rejoice over blessings? Do you ask what are tlieso mercies ?? Ask the sunbeam, the rain drops, the star or the queen of night. What is life but a mercy ? What is tho propriety of stopping to play with a thorn bush when you may : i 11 ? t_ - i <1 * just as wcii i>iuck swcei nowcrs, atiu eat pleasant fruits ? Happy is ho wlio looks at the bright side of life, of providence, and of revelation. Who avoids thorns and thickets, and sloughs, until his Christian growth is such that if he cannot improve them, he may pass among them without injury. Count i mercies beforo you complain of affliction. ?Religious Tclescojye. Southern Women.?A letter in the Boston Chrouotypo contains the following just tribute to our fair citizens. A3 wo but rarely see the truth so promptly expressed relative to anything belonging to the South ?in that region particularly?wo copy it 1? .... hi compliment to all concerned : Tho first thing that struck me in regard to tho women at tho South was their beauty of form-?their symmetrical and harmonious figures.

Tho proverbial affability and urbanity of tho Southern character finds the fullest development in tho women. The Southern lady is naturally and nedifearUy easy, unembarrassed and polite.

The following in ntt extract from llio recont address of C5o\. Wiso before the Mechanics' Institdto at Richmond, Va : ? "And sciencc, astronomy, mat hematics, chcmislry, natural philosophy ami tlio fine arts, music and painting, and architecture, and all tlio ordinary arts of poaco and war, aro depentcnt upon the mechanic arts for utensils and arms. Fulton was a mechanic, lie not only taught the secret to his country of applying steam, and the art to a Norris of winning tlio victory of peace, but invented, too, tho most dangerous engine of war. Ho took the torpedo to England, and as a trial of skill blew up tho brig Dorotha in tlio presence of tho Board of British Ailiiiirnltv- fClieers.^ When the favorable J ' V / report was made to Mr. Pitt, lie said, " Why should Kngland aid America in teaching how to defend her cost again* the British navv." And Franklin was a mechanic! and he taught his country how to snatch I the thunderbols from Jupiter, and a Colt ; liow to apply the lightning to the " torpedo," 1 so that now a single mechanic can sit on I . the bank of any river or roadstead, l?v the side of a galvanic pile not larger than a hat crown, and by a touch of a rope of wires, connecting Fulton's " torpedos," send Franklin's electric spark to submmino magazines ! which would blow the whole British navy out of water. And the secret onco known, mechanism has not stopped at applying galvanism and electricity to the arts of war; but the mechanic Morse has made iron nerves for two worlds, and the continents and the seas to send intelligence to tlie uttermost points of the earth, by a fluid as quick mid sentient as that which flows through organized beings from tho brain covered by any pia-tnater. "And the learned professions?theology, law and medicine?are equally dependent upon the mechanic arts and their pcrfectoin. Where would all have been but for the mechanism of printing? But the tongues of men and angels could not enumerate these innumerable dependencies. They are infinite in variety and connection. " The objects of the Institutes is to exalt the dignity of mechanic labor. Who shall despiso the arts upon which all elso is dependent? What civilization shall despise a labor upon which every civilization depends ? Who shall tread upon the arts by which nien is fed and clothed and housed and transported, and is raised to refinement and the taste of tlie fine arts, and the enjoyment of an elevation in the moral scale which cannot be reached but by physical improvements? Morse is a mechanic, Fulton was a mechanic, Franklin was a mechanic, Sir Christopher Wren was a mechanic, Newton was a mechanic?Cod is a mechanic. The triumphs of mechanics are the triumphs of mankind. (Cheers.)

In turn, ho proposed an entertainment for the Italians.? Ho procured a largo dilapidated house, and tho whole scenc presented was one of the streets of liome. The time whs night.? Just before tho dawn of day, a weary taveler was made to appear in tho desolate street, seeking.where lie might find shelter and accommodation. He could find no inhabitants awake. ITe threw himself down upon a piazza and waited for light and the inhabitants to riso. "Whilst ho was sleeping, tho ghost of Cicero was made to appear, and approach tho stranger, who awoke, rose, took out a watch, the horomoter of that day, to fco tho timo of night. Tho ghost was surprised, and asked what it was? The stransrer explained it was a mechanical instrument to measure limo. " Wonderful," said tlio gliost. " Who invented tliat ?" " Tlio Germans," said the stranger. Next ho took out an almanac to see when day would break and the sun rise. " What is that?" said tho ghost. The stranger explained tho art of printing and tho astronomical calculations of tho calendar. " Wonderful, most wonderful," said tho ghost, " and who invented that!"? "The Germans," said the stranger. By this timo tho day began to peep, and the stranger being impatient to bo taken in from tbo streets, ho beat the doors in vain, and at last drew a pistol and fired it off, to arouso tho sluggish sleepers. The ghost started affrighted, and asked, " What is that ?" A pisto! and gunpowder were explained. " More wonderful still," said tho ghost. " And who invented that?" "Tho Germans," said tho stranger. "Great and wonderful peoplo ! And whilst they have been progressing in all these arts, what have my people been doing in the centuries since I was upon earth t" Just then ono of tho lazzaroni of Homo appeared, and tho stranger said, " There is n specimen of thy countrymen." Day broke, and tho ghost vanished. Germany had invented printing, tho horometcr and gunpowder. Homo had been sleeping to decay and death, in her.) dreamy drowsiness over past greatness, and the condition of her lazzaroni frightened away the ghost of Cicero.

I'lio following extract is from a letter written l>y a lady upwards of eighty years old, residing ??i J'hiladclphia, to her grnmlboh in Washington : " When General Washington delivered his Farewell Address, in tlia room at tlio southeast corner of Chestnut and Sixth streets, I sat immediately in front of him. It was in tho room tlio Congress had occupied. The tahlo of tho Speaker wM botwoen tho two windows on Sixth street.? Tho daughter of Dr. C., of Alexandria, tho physician and intimnto friend of Washington ; Mrs. 1L, whoso husband was tho auditor, was a very dear friend of mine.? Her brother, Washington, was one of tho Secretaries of General Washington. Dan-| dridgc, a nephew of Mrs. Washington, was , tho other. I was included in Mrs. W's par- j ty to witness tho august, the solemn scone. { N C declined going with Mrs. ; IT., who had determined to go so early as to secure the front bench. It was fortu-1 nato for N C (afterwards Mrs. j L.) that sho would not trust herself to bo j so near her honored grandfather. My dear | father stood very near her; sho was torri- i bly agitated. There was a narrow passage from tho door of cntranco to tho room, which was on the east, dividing tho rows of benolios. Gen. Washington stopped at the end to let Mr. Adams pass to tho chair.? The latter always wore a full suit of blight drab, with slash, or rather loose cull's. Ho also wore wrist ruflles. IIo had not changed his fashions. IIo was a short man, with a good head. With his family, ho attended our church twice a day. " General Washington's dress was a full suit of black. His military hat had tho black cockade. There stood the Father of his Country, acknowledged by nations 4 the first in war, first in peace, first in tho hearts of his countrymen.' No miirslnils * - 7 with gold colored scarfs, no cheering. Tho most profound stillness greeted him, as if that great assembly desired to hear him hreatho and catch his breath?the homage of the heart. Mr. Adams covered his faec with both his hands. Tho sleeve of his coat and his hands wero covered with tears. Every now and then there was a suppressed sob. I cannot describe Washington's appoarauco as I felt it?perfectly composed and self-possessed till the close of his address. Then, when strong men's sobs broke loose, when tears covered their faces,, then the great man was shaken. I never took my eyes from his face. Large dtops came from his eyes. Ho looked to tho grateful children who were parting with their father, their friend, as if his heart wero with them and would be to the end." DOMESTIC RECIPES.
