An. 105! 105 I Au able astronomical writer, in au investigation of the cause of Easter being appointed to be cele brated on a wrong day, plainly thews, that unless the present system of computation shall be abolish ed, greater errors must ensue. lie gives a short but clear detail of the manner in which the Church Chronology was settled. The grand Ecclesiastical Council of Nice, in ,f 2.5, appointed Easter to be On the Sunday after the first full moon that follows the venial equinox. The full lull in that year hap pencil on the _lst March, therefore Sunday the (t2d was Easter. Hut the Fathers took the cal culatioa of MUTON as their guide, who had stated the year to be .165 days, tj hours. instead of 305 it. 51 i , 4$ in. 57 s. So that Pope Gays:emit found in z ,5.2, t h e rett ol equinox set down by the tables for the I ith March. The Holy Father restored it to the .21st March, by tejectiog 19 days from the Calendar, which lie slid by calling the sth October, 1582, the 15th ; and lie further suppressed three days out of the Julian account in every 400 years by cancelling the intercalary day at thy end of the century. It would have been a more efficient adjustment, says the author of the investigation, if he hail omitted three days in every 391 years of the Julian reckouing, which would have made the calendar tally vet y nearly with the solar motion; and the equinoxes would then hate been fixed to the same day of the month for ever, as long as the Johan Calendar is used. Ile proceeds to silos by an examination of the solar and lunar cycles, that there is a lunar excess of one day in 221 years nearly. To correct the daily growing evil, he suggests the simple and practicable remedy of calculating the new and full moons for a reasonable length of time to come, and let Easter Day be at once appointed to its proper day of the month. It is singular that so well-informed an astronomer should cull the pre sent the 19th year of the loth cetottrt, nearad of the 1:911 year. SMITHFIELD MARKET, ' , funky, JANuAtti 23. day's Wilk.
