This earth is urged forward at the rate OF

an hundred millions of miles in length
turning round in the same time, keeping
nearly in the direction opposite to the sun;
the velocity Of this comet, at this part oi

on Saturday morning last, by the venera-

the citizens Of the place. The morning
was remarkably fine, and the services
which were very. appropriate, commence

the corner stone, an address was deliver

Church and Society. The singing, by 4

Rhode-Island.-AAer sharp struggle
of twelve-month, during which period
an election has been held once in about
sixty days,-our spruce little sister Rhode
Island, has succeeded in electing Gov
ernor. The choice has fallen upon John
Brown Francis-one OF the most respecta
BILE and accomplished gentlemen in the
state-who IS said to have received ma
jorty Of four or five hundred over the
present incumbent, Gov. Arnold, the Ma
tional Republican candidate. This re-
snlt has doubtless disappointed many Of
our political friends in Rhode Island, and
many more out oft. Mr.. Francis was
the candidate of the Jackson party, and
of the Anti Masons-both OF which par
ties will rend the skies with their shouts
of victory. And yet, strange as 1t may
seem, New England might be searched
in vain for more sound and decided Ma
tional Republican than John Brown Fran
els. He was member ofthe Baltimore
Convention which nominated Mr.. Clay
in opposition to Gen. Jackson--and .
firmer friend of Mr.. T.. was not found ia
hat assemblage.
Gov. Arnold is highly respectable
merchant Of Providence, and has made an
able and excellent Chief Magistrate.--
His frmness and efficiency, tempered
with all justiiable prudence, wero we'll
ested last year, in the insurrection which
t ultimately became necessary to quell
by the shedding Of blood. For his con-
duct on that occasion, as well as in many
other respects, he had strong claims to
he support of the people and we regret
his defeat, so far as it regards his own
personal feelings, and those Of many
trends in that state. But in all other re-
spects, the success of Mr.. Francis affords
entire satisfaction. He is gentleman
ofhigh moral and political worth, in afilu-
ent circumstances, and will unquestiona-
bly,, make Governor of whom Rhode
Island may well be proud.-[N. Y. Spec

who were at work, and boatman. It
was impossible to prevent, these acts, the
surprise was SO great and they were so
suddenly affected; The unfortunate per-
petrater was captured and committed to

tobc shot, and the body to be publicly ex-

that the cause was supposed 10 be tho baa
success ofhis fishing yoyge. 1t was the
