was not prepared to give that lull account of

HOUSE OF REPRFSENTkTIVBS, Noy. 15.
AMERICAN SRAMEN.
Mr. Mmtvort rose, and, ()Wei-yea, there was no
topic more important than the prOteaion of Anieri-
can seamen, and yet he believed. it would be ac-
knowledged by all who had given consideration to
the subject, that. our laws on. this snhject are mate-
rially defeeliye. The object of these laws ought to
be two-fold—in thefirst place, for the proteQion of
bo.na ,fide American citizens; and, secundly,:foi the
prevention of the abtise of those protections by
citizens of other countries not entitled to them.—
It 'will be recollected, that the act for 'the relief of
American seamen makes it the duty of the Collec-
tors to furnish certificates of citizenship in the mari-
ner therein directed; but owing .to an error of
Congress, no manner is prescribed, and, orcourie,
the collectors !.ave been left to accept of such proof
as they deemed StinCielit, art() act under the direc-
tions .of the Secretary of the Treasury, whi'eh, in
most instances, l's an unsafe way of proceeding.—
The Penal laws' of the United States provide .no
punishnient for the crime of perjury in these Cases.
A rem-A instance, Mr. M. said, had occurred in tie
district which
,he represented. An Italian, not 20
days in the country, appeared' before a Notary Pons.
lie, claiming
.the rights of an American. seaman.
He made. the necessary oath, and.produced a spon-
sor, who swore that he was, born in Baltimore.--
The tongue of the nnm.deteeted the fillsoirood..-.,
The Collector,' with that attention to his duty fur
'whiCh he is' so remarkable, had both seaman and
sponsor apprehended. The Attorney fOr the dis-
trict looked into the ease, and fonnd the 'crime of
perjury to be, 'the falsely taking an oath, according
to the laws of the United States—but as the law
was defeciiiie, as alive stated, the offence wan not
perjury. The Attorney General confirmed this
opinion: The of6nders, therefore, escaped punish-
ment. He believed other amendments might be
ttef.tilly made to the law on this sn:,je., t. He con-
cluded by offering the following Resolution for
adoptiop, which was agreed I : ,
Resolved, that a Committee be appointed to
inquire and report whether any, and what ametid-
tnents are necessary to the laws of the United States
relating to the plotection of American seamen, and
that the Committee have leave to report by Bill or
otherwise."

and when he examined them tie found they were
perieNly fresh, as being just then taken trout the
carcase. One of them, appeared to be the skin of 'a
vary handsome terrier.
The prisoner upon being questioned as to where
he had got these skins, answered, that he had gone
and killed some dogs .at, the Isle o$ Dogs, by which
he imagined he was tendering a„public benefit, that

Such flutications.and in that curt o

luminous attnospireie whidli must occupy in re-
gions of space- a scope of about right millions ut
leagues. are immense, and may wrll ituFre,s tlio
imagination with `astonishment. The ten-grated
astronomer of Lilienthal, Mt. De Schrcetter, re;.
marked variations of the same lt,nd in tire tail of
the last Comet of 1807, and inserted, in the Work
be .published with respect to it, plates t't the stlC-
teSiive configurations.
Professor Harding has also observed and delineated
with care the prehent Comet under its vasiot.tt as-
pems, and his designs will atipear in one of tire suc-
ceeding numbers of the " Geographit at and Astro-
nomical Correspond, nee," edited at. ire Ouserva.
tort' of Gotta by the Chamberlain De LlLlden.iu.
They will show that when the Cornet hist ap-
peared, and Was yet at a distance trotn the but).the
two flakes ut itri train ivrrO separated sous to form
a rigor ; but_ as that distance decreased. tney
api.roa, hed each other tia they became parallel.—
Tin. phenomenon, however, may be nothing inure
'haulm 'optical illusion. • .
At. to the nucleus, or the Comet itself, it has been
fonod impo.s We, as.yet, oven with the aid of the
best otlescopes, ru Ice observations on its disk, as
on tint of a solid body and irf a detertuinate
curnterence, Wit can only discern a vague circular
mass, more luminous titan the train, .particularly
tows ds the centre .but the verge of which is
doUbtlul, hiroisiting to the eye no Used line of de-
marcation, _ _ .

This amass is without doubt composed .of a.fery
subtio substance, as is tarob,ably tnat.ot all Comets.
This hypothesis receives much support from the
t act, that one of these stars, of very considerable

magnitude, '(the Asst Comet in 1770), passed and
re-passed through the very. middle of the saiellit6
of Japitet without occasioning among them the
slightest disorder., There is every reason,to believe,
that the nucleus of the present-Comet is nothing
more than a conglomeration of vapours 'of very tit-
tle density, so little perhaps as to be transparent,
Whether this be the case or not, might be easily as-
certained, if those who are in the habit of observ.
log it would watch the time of its transit athwart
the, disk of some star, the' rays of which would
have sufficient power' to perforate it, if traosparent.
Such a body might very possibly•be an incipient
world,, just passed its gaseous state, 'and which was
to derive solidity from the precipitation , and con-
densation Of the matter surrounding it. 'Die sues
cessive observation of some Comets, in which it
may be possible to distinguish the different stages of
chaos and progressive formation, can alone furnish
any knowledge with respect to this point.

IRISH BOG EXAMINATION BILL.

On iie question tbr the third reading of this Bill,
a conversation of fiorne length took place, in which
Bails Grosvenor and Bathurst, the Ittol of Lau-
derdale, Lords licdesdale and Holland were the
-speaker s.
_ _ _

It was contended, on the part of the Opposi►ion
Peerg, that considerable sums of the public tuouty
had been proposed to be expended to an amour►t;
they Calculated, of 4i,000r. for an objet which
"was far more of private or indivlanal, Own of pips
lie intere*t. Neither were there any hati4tictory
sta►ements or accounts, ass to the appropriation or
expenditure of the sums. which had been voted tor
the purpose; they could lordly conceive such mini
-necessary fur the surveying of. the Irish
and as the drainage ot. them should apperti•in tit
the individuals interested, it ought not w he Out
of the public purse. No such praCtice obtained us
this country.
_ _

In answer to the objeaions of the Noble Lords
opposite, it was contended by EMI I.3.3lsurst
4edesdale, that the sums Voted, winch, on tniNtal,en
grounds and calcuistintis, had been grea,ly exagtr-
rsted, were necessary; With a view 10 Ilse we went
improvement of so great a nation as Irelstiti, winch
were hitherto waste and useless. Tr.ese tracts weic4
estimated to occupy a nsilhori cat acres ; and thtr
surveying and examination of such in•inewe
tracts
with. a view. to ascertain their improvable ninurr.,
Juust necessarily be attended with.eonsiderable ex •
pence. The purposes; as expressed in the Bill,
once attained, any thing fattier woald be as tire
expence of the individu.lls whose interests writs
concerned, if they chose so to ad. 'What wtti
now proposed was deemed necessary ta,the view or
incipient improvetnent, as the tracts in question
were -so eacuirstatsced with re:Ted to tins .1
prietors. There was. a difficulty in toductot4
them to come to and in the first instance, bnt
it was not intended 10 go to any atidivo al

knew nothing about it.

Sebettor declined saying any thing for him, before
he signed het' final commitment for trial, he would
wish to give him an opportunity,to say any thing he
pleasel in his defence—but the prisoner respectfully
bowed, and said nothing. The, parties were bound
over, and he was fully committed to the Poultry
