SOlaF SpOts.-Spots on the Suns Disk, have this year appeared frequently. I have witnessed them for several months past, and some of them seemed exceedingly large. Yesterday, at TO- A. NJ, ob- served (with my Telescope) one larger than any be-
 fore seen, to the Southward and Eastward of his centre, with sixteen of much lesser magnitude three above and thirteen below it, the latter forming the segment of circle, and the ends with four form ing square to the Northward and Eastward of his centre; and in consequence of the extraordinary number of these spots with their penumbra on the Suns disk, it renders his rays feeble and obscure, not unlike that occasioned by partial eclipse. Not withstanding, however, the number which has been this year, the has been and is likely continue so unusually fine, and never perhaps, dld the smiles of Heaven seem more gracious, or the beauties of nature bloom more lavishy than at the present moment.

The following story is said to be a correct repre- sentation of the New-Eng glanders It certainly is pretty good caricature, and like other carcatures, more striking perhaps than a correct likeness:
 "A New-England farmer having finished his au- tumnal duties, thought of going to Europe to dispose of the timber cut from his last neto field, as captain and o,cner cf hs sioop. His eldest son received the following orders, to be observed during his absence "John, you may work in the smiths shop till you have iron-shod the plough and the cart wheels you have made; after which, you may either build saw or grist mill for yourself upon your own place. If should not return in three months, you may repair the old quadrant and take charge the old sloop af ter you have new decked her. Joseph will help you spin the new rigging the soop will want, after he has finished the loom for his mother to weave a top sail on when after turning the rounds for spinning wheel, he may plough the old feds and then go to Labrador for Cod, or whaling to Falkland Island, just as he likes. You must take commend of the sloop yourself; load her for the West Indies, unless you find that Gov. Philips last prices will do for stock and provisions; if so, go to New Holland, and I shall be be home, God s0illing, to welcome your return. My son Joseph, it is time to leave off ma- king wooden clocks and fddles; tan the hides and make shoes for the family"

Indiana.-We learn by the Indiana papers that Noah Noble has been elected Governor, and Daotd WatLace Lieutenant Governor of that State, each by a majority of about 5000 votes. Messrs Noble and Wallace are Clay men, 1tis believed that General Jonathan M Carry, Ratlif Boon, and General John Carr all Jacksonians, have been elected to Congress The Clay majority in the Legislature at the last ses sion was about twenty in the House of Representa- tives-at the next session it will not be more than six or seven.
 Our eastern readers will recolec that the Jackson party never had majority in the Legislature of h. diana. The Clay majority will be much smaller at the approaching session than at any previous period This fact, and the result of the Congressional elec tons clearly prove that the administration has gain ed strength in Indana-LouisUile Public Advertiser.

The Resul.-The immoderate boastings of the op- position Editors of this State, previous to the late elections, are well known to our readers. Having wrought up the hopes ofther distant brethren to the highest pitch, and prepared them for the reception of the most glorious tidings of the result it is not little amusing to observe the expedients to which they are obliged to resort to prevent the amazement and reaction that would inevitably follow prompt and fair admission of the whole truth Knowing that the National Republicans of other States decar ed thata bare majority would be FATAL as d de- teat" to MT Cay's prospects, his friends here no sooner ascertained the probable fate that awaited them than they unceremoniOusly abducted the names of eight or ten Jackson members of the Legislature for the purpose of swelling their list, and induc- ing those whom they had deceived by false misre- presentations to believe that they really had succeed ed in achieving "a splendid victory" They are now reluctantly dropping one by one, the abducted from their list, expecting doubt that their distant friends will gradually become recOnciled to the dis astrous discontinue which, (ia despite 0f the most re nendous and unprecedented e1ertions, the friends of MT Clay have met with at the late elections in this State. We perceive that the opposition papers of the present week. still hold three notorious Jackson men, and one pledged man, Fin durance vile," for the purpose of making appear that they have ma jorty of tvetUe instead of our in the House of Rep resentatives. The gentlemen to whom we alIude are JARVIS JACKSON of Whiteley; GEO. ROBERTS, of Hardin; MT JONES' of Morgan; and MT ALLEN of Casey who pledged himself at the polls, to vote for n Jackson Senator. Take these four names from the Clay list, and it will leave them as we said last week, ia splendid majority of TWO members on joint ballot in the Legislature!
 Itsurprises us that they should claim Geo. Roberts On or about the first of last April when that rentIe man and the Edtsr of the Elizabethtown Statesman. aJackson paper, quarreled-dd not all the Clay Ed- tors in the State sneeringy exut at the circumstance as an evidence of the great "harmony' which exist ed between the followers of the "Hero?"
 As to MT Jones of Morgan, we have it from the highest authority, that himself and his opponent are both decided friends of the Administration and in the absence ofthls positive evidence we would think it highly improbable that Clay man could be elect ed to the Legislature in counties so decidedly Jack son as Morgan and Lawrence. e.-Kentucky Gazette.
