DISCOVERIES IN THE 11100N.—AUGSRURG, MARCH 12.
Professor Gruitltuisen, in Munich, whose selenognostic re-
searches are known to the learned from Bode's Astronomi-
cal Calendar, and other writings, has spoken in that Can-
der, and in one of his works, of the discovery which his
extremely quick sight, aided by a good telescope of Frauen-
hofer's making, has been enabled to make of a colossal
building, situated near the Equator of the Moon, resem-
bling a fortress, with strait ramparts, which are arranged
like the lateral fibres of an alder leaf. We now learn that
he has also discovered a great many regularly made roads,
' alterations evidently made by art, in natural walls, the
clearest traces of cultivation an the surface of the Moon
(which Schroeber affirmed to exist), and several other in-
dicationsof rational beings in that planet.
Mr. CONOLLY.—The remorial of Mr. Conolly has not

signature this day ; it will b;accompanied, when presented,
by a certificate, signed by the Foreman of the Jury, before
whom the trial took place. Another signed by .Soo house-
keepers in London, and a third from the inhabitants of
Brighton, headed by the Dean of Hereford, &c. To-day
it will he handed to Mr. Peal.
'fur Rev. C. COLTON,—( From the New York Doily
Adm, user of Feb. 20.)—Pears were expressed in the Lon-
don Papers, sometime since, for the safety of the Rev. C.
C. Colton, author of " Lacon," &c. &c. as he had suddenly
disappeared from London. The last time he appears to
have been seen was in company with Mr. Weare, who was
shortly afterwards murdered by Thurtell, Jinni, and Pro-
bert. The editor of the Ntw Fork Patriot lately stated
that a person answering the description of Mr. Colton was
in this city some short time since, and, under the name of
Clinton, had offered a work to a bookseller in this city, at
the same time declaring he was the author of " Lacon,"
and that he lately left this city for Charleston. In addi-
tion to the above, the Manulacluirri Journal of Provi-
dence, Rhode Maid, says—" Mr. Colton arrived at New-
port in September last, in the ship Roy, from Bremen, and
previously to his visiting New York, passed several days at
!kir. Horton's hotel, in this place, where he was remarked
for the eccentricity of his manners, and a profuse display
of remarkable trinkets, &c. lie here also assumed the
name of Clinton."

Two men were killed, and another severely injured, in
