THe Wonn's END.--The silly report that the world is to be at an end on the 18th instant (to morrow), has been circulated at Paris, as wall as at London, and every other part of the Continent --The report had its origin in- the appearance of the sun at present, having some spots .tipoo. eta disk. These spots, it was said, announced the speedy extinction of this Issminary, and conse quently the end of the world. An astronomer at Paris, of the name of Hour, has published a letter in the Paris Paris, in which, alluding. to these ridiculous apprehensions, be otret ,ifisil'ate then), by explaining the spritsin.liiii eveiting lec tures. The astronomer has certainly hit upon an excellent expedient for a pair upon his lectures, and it is a pity he did not think of it sooner he cannot be expected to draw more than two or three nights: • The 'allowing is R description of a curious phe nomenon which was observed by the lion. Coin ships Fairlie and James Sibhniel, 00 their late passage to Calcutta On the Ist October our. latitude at noon was 13 deg. 25 mitt. S. Ion:- gittule 84 deg. 0. min. E.; we observed quantities at stulf flowing on the surface of the water, which had. twits, the appearance of sea weed—btil we were quite nstoilished to find it burnt cinders, evidently volcanic. The sett was covered with it during the two next days. Our latitude on the 3d October, at nobit,-waS 10 deg. 9 min. S. longi tude 84 deg 20 min. IL ; the surface at the wa ter was so collipleitly covered with the volcanic matter, that I should think it very unlikely to have been drifted any considerable distance, As it is probable: if would have been much more teat' tered. In An old chart I had on board, there is a submarine volcano placed in the same longitude, and latitude about 8 deg. 30. min. S.; and from the great distance from any land where we found this curious phetioinenool, 1 think there can be no' other way of accounting for it, than the probahi lity of a submarine volcano existing in that neigh bourhood."

We are glad to hear the Magistrates are endeavouring to probe this affair with the, most benevolent 404, and have no doubt the discovery will he the meals of re gulating ,many glaring defects in the system of our Police. .11 seems an anomaly in the admini stration of our law:, that on the Civil Side the evidence of a man of well, known integrity can not be admitted, if it should appear he has the shadow - of interest io the question at issue; when in the Criminal Cwirt the life of a fel low creature mky depend upon the testimony of a witness who is to receive a!eTard upon con viction. Perhaps there woultl be much practical difficulty in regulating this, but we must beg leave to say fell such evidence should be received with a suspicion, calling for strong corroborating cir cumstances ; and for this reason we!ira't'e always regretted the admission of the evidence of many Police Officers. Let it be recollected that fear will sometimes speak the language of guilt, and an innocent man in extreme agitation will oftentimes utter the most incoherent and inconsistent ex- pressions. We shall here drop the subject for the present, only requesting the public not to lose sight of this Inuit important discovery ; and we do.-this, not flout a disposition to cavil, hot to preserve our laws in all their purity. IVe should be the last to cavil At the administration of them, when we firmly believe there is no human institution more perfect than a British Con:t ofJitstice. ;inked it is an object well worthy tlk attentimi of all foreigners, and to which we should be must anxious to lead them, that they might carry bock the impres,ion for the. benefit ofother nations.
