Lest night we had the satisfaction of attending Mr. BARTLEY'S Lecture CM Astronomy. and of witnessing the ingenious and interesting machinery by which hr so clearly illustrates this sublime sub ject. It is the grandest and most dignified of all the sciences, and one which has consequently seen. pied the leburious studies of the greatest men in all ages; it has engaged the attention of insaktod, not merely as a matter of curiosity, but of utility; it is from astronomy we acquire a knowledge of the sariatiou of the seasons, rws oseentiel to the puninit- of agriculture, and from the same source our know ledge of geography, chronolo g y, and navigation, is derived. In proportion a■ the subject is en veloped in difficulties, and elevated to • height above ordinary observation, in the same degree must we estimate every effort of science to elucidate the obscurities, mid reduce it to the level of ordi. nary capacities. This has breu the object of Mr. BARTIAT in the present course of Irctures, and it is hut justice to him to say that lie has been wonderfully successful. In addition to his lectures, which are remarkable for extreme distinctness mid perspi cuity, Mr. BARTLEY has introduced the most fa miliar Hal popular illustrations of the subject, by means of tratirpsrent representations of the sun and the various planets, aid ull the grand phenomena of nature, which convey to the intent, by one rein. bition, • much clearer tile.* of the subject than could he attained by a long course of reading : "Sersius irritant anioss dimi►ss per sure., Quito qua soul midis subjects fidelibus." Ile first commences by a description of the different system., the Ptolemaic, Tycltonic, and Copernican, until he arrives at the period when truth, and reason prevail over the prejudices of the schools, and the immortal NUITON establishes the science upon pn•eiples fixed, immutable, and eternal. He next exhibits the various pans of the solar system, the too. timed the dif&rent plaints, and their relative situa ti•• with respect to each other. The comparative magnitude of the earth and sir•, and the extraordi nary, appearances of the earth to the lunar inhabitants, are described with mar►•llous accuracy. There were also exhibited the most faithful tepresentations of the comets of 1811 and 11119. Km what Princi pally attracted the "dair•t.s« of the audience was th e simple, clear, and interesting eaplanation of the grand sod extraordinary pbruosnei•ss of tides. The l!ouble iufloence exercised by the one and moon, in clawing the flaring and reining of the tide, was exemplified in a manlier at once striking and beau tiful, cannot tto notice the very splemliet artery itt which the sun is exhibited, the centre of the system, sod all the planets performing their teepee. lire motion, round Inns. It is truly magnificent ; it exhibits st one view all the celestial bodies in motion, it mai ks faithfully the comparative magni tude of each, and excites in the mind the most .islted idea of the hesuty and harmony which 1 14- tvutles the whole. It must then, we think, be ; , linitted that Mr. BARTLLY is entitled to the highest Credit for havin g ►o boldly undertaken, arid so successfully completed en exhibition. eminently calculated to 111111111di, amuse, and itinpiove.

We have already area that whea a duel tate, pleat apes a challenge, and is followed by the death of one of the par ties, this, according to the law of Scotland, is murder us the survivor, how fair and equal wryer the meatier of con ducting the combat. But the better to repress such irregu• lenitive, so which the fervent weeper of the Scots so strongly disposed them, the Legislature, by the statute, 1600, e. 12, rimed the bare set of evegegiag in • deal to the same rack of a capital crime •• the actual slaughter, ,withort distin gseishisig whether any of the parties did or did soot safer any *mind or materiel harm on the occasion.

DUNAVORK EAST (IRILAND), MARCH 28. William and Mary royal yacht, Sir John Phillornora consuiander, from Milford for Cork, put iu here for shelter at three this afternoon.

Fortunately, these men had got into the bust. Immediately after getting into the boat they were driven trout the vessel before the remainder of the crew could get in. They, therefurr, cannot tell whether any vessel fell in with them, as the boat in a short time drifted far from the wreck. The Listen Hall was under w■ter, but it is supposed that the rest of the crew have been saved, ass cutter and four or five boats were observed bourn% towards her. A bout ten packages of !torn and some bags of flour had been recovered ; and it was hoped, if the wea ther continued moderate, that more of the cargo may be saved.
