In the system of philosophy called A'etetonian, Sir
Isaac Newton considered Attraction, or Gravitation,
as the primary cause of material phenomena. He
conceived that bodies fall to the earth because they
are attracted by the earth, and that all matter attracts
all matter in a proportion of-the bulks and distance
and. to account for the motions of the planets, he
taught, that at their creation they were projected in
the vacuum of space in straight lines, but were drawn
Into their curvilinear orbits by the attractive force of
the sun ; and that these two forces, the projectile and
the attractive, are always inactivity.
On the other hand, Sir Richard Phillips has pub-
lished a neet System, in which he denies that there
exists any inherent property of attraction in matter,
and ridicules the notion of the projectile force and the
vacuum of space. The phenomenon of bodies rushing
together he Isserts is always an accident, not an innate
property; consequently, if there is no universal gravi-
tation, there is no ground for insisting on the existence
of projectile force to counteract it, and of a vacuum
for the perpetuation of that force. The universal agent
operating on matter, he says, is motion; and motion,
as transferred from body to body, and compounded in
various directions, is alleged. in this system to be the
efficient and sufficient cause ()fall sensible phenomena.
The fail of bodies to the earth is traced by Sir Richard
'te the orbicular and rotatory motions of the earth, of
which motions all terrestrial bodies are the patient.
The rotatory motion equalizes the orbkular momen-
tum of bodies of various density : hence the known
series of density decreasing (according to this system,
in geometrical ratio) from the upper regions of the
atmosphere towards the centre of the earth ; and
hence also the fall of :relatively heavy bodies, froll
the i mpossibiliiy of their being revolved in any lighter
strata into which they may have been raised or pro-
jected. All disturbance is therefore instantly cor-
rected, and every part of a planetary mass is forced
by the rotatory motion, as conjoined with the orbi-
cular, to seek a position in which it will have the
least centripetal force. The return of a perpendicular
projectile to the place of projection is illustrated by
the well-known phenomenon of a stone let fall from
the mast of a moving ship, or of oranges thrown
up during feats of horsemanship. The motions of the
planets are, by this system, ascribed to the impulsion
of a moving central mass life the Sun, whose motions
are transferred to the several planets through the
gaseous medium filling space. Matter being essen-
tially inert, this central motion, so transferred, is
considered as the sufficient cause of the' orbicular
motions of the planets; and the other motions, and
the anomalies, are ascribed to causes existing be-
tween, and within, the several masses. As no
motion exists which is not necessarily caused
by some other motion, we thus ascend from effects,
to causes ad infinitum; but, as matter cannot in any
manner originate its own primary motion, so this
philosophy leads us to a priezum maile in that inscru-
table CAUSE of cAusEs, "through whom we move
and have our being."
" Such is the new system of Phillips It establishes
the same law of forces, whether terre•trial or celestial,
as that ascribed by Newton to attraction, viz. that the
force of transferred motion is directly as the quan-
tity of matter, and inversely as the square of the dir-
tance: hence the mathematicians have no reason to
quarrel with it. It is, at the same time, nut unim-
portant whether our reasonings are directed by a trite
or a false hypothesis ; and there fore it is worthy of re.
rious investigation whether tran<fes red MOTION may
be, or may not be, a sufficient cause of all phenomena;
and whether it is necessary, or nut necessary, to in-
troduce such forces as those of ATTRACTION and rtto-
Jecriox into the machinery of nature."

BANK-NOT EXFO R Di SEPT. The Coven
nors and Company of the Bank of Ireland haie ju-
diciously dispatched agents through the kingdom, fur
the purpose of distributingfac-simdcs of a Bank of
Ireland note, with directions to detect forged'notes.
One 1 the Gentlemen who has been through this
country called at our office on Monday, and left a
copy of the above. By paying attention to the roles
there pointed out, no mistake can occur, as the dif-
ference between the genuine and forged note is very
apparent. No expense or exertion on the part of the
Bank is wanted to prevent the circulation of fraudulent
paper. A few months ago one of its agents attended
the fairs in this county, and entrained the notes for
,o;Ite country people. .
