The Sun.
London, England, 1861-09-24 00:00:00

FR i.'lV CH ACADEMY OF SCILNCE

At the last sitting, M. Faye, who is the apostle of
the theory which admits a power of repulsion, besides
that of attraction, in the machinery of the celestial
spliere, made some observations on M. Valz'
paper sent in the week before, in Which that
s
gentleman endeavoured to prove that the earth had passed through the last comet's tail, because
the latter had deviated from the plane of the
comet's orbit by 2 deg. and 47 min., and moreover
deviated from the radius vector by an angle of 0
deg. 18 min. in projection upon the plane of the
orbit. M. Faye denies both these assertions, truly
contending that, whatever be the force employed,
provided it proceeds from the sun, which is
self evident, it must operate in the plane
of the orbit, and that, consequently, the
tail cannot leave that plane ; and that, as to the
deviation from the radius vector, the curvature of
the tail is necessarily tangential to the radius, so
that, to estimate it correctly, the angle must be
measured as near as possible to the point of con-
tact, because otherwise the inclination would
very enormously. M. Faye then proceeds to
show that his theory of repulsion is in accord..
ance with the facts of the case, but, singularly
enough does not impugn, although he does not
affirm, the assertion that the earth had passed
through the comet's tail. But it is clear that,
since M. Valz only arrived at that conclusion by
the supposition that the tail was at an angle with
the plane of the orbit, the conclusion falls of it-
self as soon as it is proved that there were no such
inclination at all. The question of our passing
through the tail should, we think, be put thus :
Can we see a thing before us when we are in it ?
Now hundreds, if not thousands of people, saw
the comet on the 30th of June last between half-
past ten and half•past 11 p.m., the time given by
M. Valz as that of the earth's passage through the
tail ; and most certainly not one of them .could
conceive himself to be inside that well-defined
luminous body which he saw before him at a
distance which he could not fail to consider as,
ie,mense.-IVI. Scheurer-Kestner sent a specimen
of hymenopterous insect which had been found
in the act of perforating a sheet of lead which
covered one of the partitions of his sulphuric
acid manufactory. The insect had found itself halt..
prisoned between the wood of theparttionand the
lead which covered it, and had eaten its en ts way
through in order to get out of its prison.

S ROCLAMATION.—The Memphis Argus
of Aug. 24 publishes the following proclamation from the
mayor of that city :—" To the Citizens of Memphis,—Ap-
ations have repeatedly been made to me, as executive
offleer of the city, for protection against, the indiscreet par-
-1108 who are sent out to iTApress citizens into service against
their w:11 on steamboats. Many of these men have ben
dragged from their beds, Wives, and children, but never
has there been a man taken who had on a clean shirt. I
hereby notify any citizen who may wish a pass within the'
city of Memphis to call on me, and I will furnish the same,
and will protect him. One poor man being shot yester-
day by one of these outlaws, as they may be called, causes
me to give the above notice,—JoitN PERK, Mayor,—Aug.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.)

OLD COURT.
ROBBERY AT MESSRS. ROUTLEDGE'S.

Henry Strong was indicted for stealing three printed
books, the property of Messrs. Routledge, the publishers,
of Farringdon-street, and 'Samuel Bradley was indicted for
receiving the property knowing it to be stolen.
Strong pleaded guilty.
. Mr. Orridge prosecuted and Mr. Best, of the Oxford
Circuit, defended Bradley.
The case having been stated to the jury,
Mr. Fox, a City ward beadle, said the early part of the
month of August he was seated in his parlour when he saw
the prisoner Strong, with one of Messrs. Routledge's
trucks when Bradley came up to him, and after
a short conversation, Strong took three books from under-
neath his coat and gave them to Bradley. They then went
away. I went out, and after going a short distance I met
them both together. I asked Bradley what Strong had
given him from underneath his coat, when he said, "Three
books, which I had ordered of him." I told him I did not,
think it was a regular transaction, and that I should requite
these to go to Messrs. Routledge's in order to ascertain
whether Strong had any authority to dispose of property in
the manner he hal done. They both went as far as the
door of Messrs. Routledge's warehouses in Farringdon-
street, but as they refused to go in the assistance of the police
had to be called.
Mr. Routledge, jun., said the prisoner Strong had no
authority to sell books on his own account.
Sergeant Johnson, of the City police, said—After' the
prisoner Bradley's lodgings had been searched I saw him in
the cell of the station-house. I asked if he had any of
Messrs. Routledge's books at his lodgings. Ho replied
" No." I asked him if he was quite sure that he was right
in his statement, and he said he was sure he had none. I
then said to him, as he was a dealer in books, " Surely you
must have some stock," to which he replied, " So I have,
but they are chiefly old books and pamphlets." I then told
him to be careful in his answers, and he again denied hav-
ing any books there belonging to Messrs. Routledge. I
then asked him what he would say if I could show 142
volumes of Mr. Routledge's publications. He marked
several, and said he had purchased them, but I said—
" Those are published by Routledge," but he made no
reply. The charge was made before me at the station. I
questioned Bradley about the property, and he said he had
got them from Routledge's porter, and he ordered them.
Strong was afterwards brought in, and Bradley was asked
if he was the porter that had let me have the books, which
he denied.
Mr. J. Eton, clerk to Messrs. Routledge, said the pri-
soner Strong left the premises with a truck load of books
on the 7th of August, and said he was going to Mrs. Low.
Mrs. Low, late of London-house-yard, said she had seen
the prisoners together when she kept the house. Bradley
was a hawker of books.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty against Bradley.
The Recorder asked if Mr. Routledge was in court, as he
should like to know if he had been robbed to a large extent.
Mr. G. Routledge said the prisoner Strong had been in
his service for nine years. He always thought he was honest.
The firm had lost a great many books, but had never been
able to trace them. Books of our own publication have
been seen in very suspicious places. The only thing that
he knew objectionable against Strong was, that he was con-
tinually meeting him in the streets talking to people.
The Recorder said it was a painful thing to find a man
who had been trusted robbing his employer. From the
number of Mr. Routledge's books that had been produced
in court, there could be no doubt that the system had been
going on for some time. He should therefore sentence him
to 12 months' imprisonment. With respect to Bradley, it
was hardly to be supposed that he, a hawker of books, could
for a moment think that Strong was acting honestly,
and he should, therefore, sentence him to 18 months' impri,
sonment.

Ann Callaghan was indicted for stealing 1.5 s , the pro-
perty of her master.

IHE LOSS OF THE COLONIST, OF HULL

A MANCHESTER GENTLEMAN AND HI WIFE
DROWNED.
On Friday we published a few particulars of the loss of
the splendid steamer Colonist, trading between Konigsberg
and Hull. We now have further particulars, and it is with
deep regret we have to announce that Mr. Erhald Hald,
Danish merchant, of Manchester, along with his wile, are
amongst the passengers who have been drowned in the ill-
fated vessel. Mr. Currie, Mr. Hald's cashier, visited Hull
on Friday for the purpose of making inquiries, but left the
same day without getting any definite information as to
whether or not Mr. and Mrs. Hald had perished. The mate,
Thomas Leonard Jackson, arrived in Hull on Saturday
morning, and amongst other information he states that Mr.
and Mrs. Held were passengers on board, and that they
never left the cabin from the time the steamer was struck
by the sea to her going down. He (the mate) spoke to Mr.
Hald half-an-hour before the steamer foundered, and ad-
vised him to go on deck, as there would be more chance of
being saved there in the event of extreme danger. He,
however, refused to leave his wife, who appeared to he
already dying fron the shock she had received. The unfor-
tunate gentleman,..p.long with his wife, therefore perished
in the sea. As to the loss of the vessel, the mate states that
the Colonist left Copenhagen on Friday, the 13th, about
one o'clock in the morning, the weather being then fine,
and all went well until the morning of the 16th. During
the preceding evening the wind had increased to a perfect
gale, and about half-past 3on the morning of the 16th a
heavy sea struck the ship on the starboad side, throwing
her on her beam ends, and shifting the cargo at the same
time. All hands were immediately called on deck, and the
captain gave orders for the sails to be taken in. This was
done, and every article on deck was removed to the other
aide in the hope of righting the vessel, but to no effect. The
captain next gave orders for the hatches on the after hold
to be opened, when it was found that the cargo had settled
considerably.

Every attempt was made to prevent the water getting
into the engine-room, but the ship filled so rapidly that
water eventually gained access, and the fires were put out.
A brig then hove in sight, 'and the signal of distress was
hoisted and answered. About this time a heavy sea tarried
away the port lifeboat, and two other boats. The ship
then began to sink by the stern, and the captain ordered

the lady passengers to be got into the boat, but owing to
the ship heaving such tremendous lists it was found im-
possible to launch the boat. The steamer now sunk so
deep that the water reached the boat and floated it, when
those who were near and had presence of mind jumped
in, and with difficulty and at great peril got
clear of the wreck. The sea all this time was
running so high that all the efforts of the men had to
be directed to keep her from swamping, and therefore
they could not render any assistance to those on board, who
perished. The brig before mentioned eventually succeeded
in tiling them on board, after which it bore down to the
wreck in the hepe of saving those on board, and succeeded
in getting one of the seamen. The gale, however, raged so
furiously that no further assistance could be rendered. The
steamer then entirely disappeared with sejen of the crew
and six passengers, including the captain. The following
are the names of the crew saved :—Thomas L. Jackson, the
mate; James Wm. Beckett (second mate), Jas. Whiteley
(engineer), John Hulin (second engineer), Henry Doran
(steward), Philip Harrison (cook), all of Hull ; George
Sorenson, Tensant Olsen, Christian T. Williamson, Anto
Louritz Hunson, Ludvig G. Bay, foreign seamen; Richd.
Dreyer, of Hull, a passenvr, was also saved.
A melancholy interest is attached to the fate of this ves-
sel, and the loss of life which has resulted, from the cir-
cumstance that Mr. H. Atkinson, as consul at Hull for his
Prussian Majesty, now holds for delivery to Capt. Beckett,
of the Colonist, a letter of thanks from the Prussian Go-
