TRAVELLING BY STEAM ROUND THE
Plant URANUS The circumference OF
the orbit in which Uranus rcvolves about
the sun is II, 3l4, 100000 ofmlles, through
which it moves in 3O,686 mean solar
days, or about "a years; it is the slowest
moving planet in the system, and yet It
pursues its course at the rate Of IL: 900
miles an hour. Were steam carriage
to move around the immense orbit Of this
planet at the continued speed Of about 80
miles an hour, it would require no less
than 64,57O years before this ample cir
cult could be completed; and yet globe
go times larger than the earth finishes
this vast tour in 81 ycars.-Dick's Celesti-

EFFECT OF DIFFERENT CoLoRED RAYS
tiPoN VEeErAr1oN.- will grow most
luxurian,ly beneath glass OF a blue color.
Beneath yellow and red glasses the ma
,ural process is entirely checked. In
deed it will be found that at any period
during the early life Of plant, its
growth may be checked by exposing it
to the action Of red or yellow light.
This discovery is announced by Mr..
Hunt, the Secretary OF the Royal Poly
,echnic Society, in England, who says IN
reference to il "Blue glass admits the
blue or chemical rays, TO the exclusion,
or nearly SO, Of all others; yellow glass
admits only the penetration # the lunin-
Gus rays; while red glass cuts off all but
the heating rays, which pass it freely
Yellow and red rays are destructive to
termination, whereas, under the influ.
ence OF violet, indigo, or blue light, the
process is quickened in most extraordin-
airy manner.

ARRIVAL OF TIE COLU MBlA.
NINE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE,

The oam-packct Columbia arrived at
Boston on Tuesday morning at half past
four O'Clock, having madc her passage from
Liverpool in thirteen and half days.
She brought files of London papers to the
evening of September 10Th and Liverpool
TO the 20th.
Queen Victoria returned from her visit
in Scotland on Saturday, the 18th in the
steamer Trident, and landed with her suit
at WooIwich. She proceeded immediate
" by railway 10 Windsor. Her excursion
appears to have been in all respects sue
ceSsfA and highly gratifying both to the
Queen and her subjects.
The steamer Britannia, which left Bos-
ton September l, arrived at Liverpool on
the morning of the l4th, having made her
passage in twelve and half days. She
carried out the Treaty, with news of its
ratification BY the Senate, and also the
American Tariff as it had passed both
Houses of Congress. The Tariff Bill was
published at length in the London papers.
There is no later news from India and
China.
The state Of trade in England was dis
couraging and markets depressed. The
Cotton market at Liverpool was dull, the
sales small, and the previous quotations
barely supported, without any signs of re.
covery from the depression OF the last

We say NO. Far Otherwise. We say,
instead Of giving way TO apathy every de-
feat should neryo them for renewed efforts.

Revolutionary Fathers or weaken the

our ranks we have had man who had
wormcd himself into Office under false co.
ors, and then when he was expected to
carry into effect such measures, as he was
supposed pledged TO carry out, then was
discovered his coycn foot. W ben we re-
fleet upon these things our surprise is not
at our mere defeat, but that we have been
able at all TO embody force capable of
stemning the torrent OF corruption that is
sweeping over this country. Principle

that between the nomination aud election
Of Mr.. Tyler to the Vice Presidency, and
during the intermediate session of Con
gress, Mr.. Tyler declared that his views
in respect TO the consiitutIonality of Bank
were unchanged, and that if President he
could never consent TO approve a Bank
charter while the Constitution remained
unchanged. This declaration was open,
frank and entirely unreserved. Words
could not make his meaning palmer

At the special session Of Congress the Sc.
crctafy Of the Treasury, Mr.. Ewing, submitted
10 CongIess a plan for a NATIONAL BANK.

extend is branches all over the country. need
not advert TO the circumstances OF its prcscnta-
ton to Congress. 1t had received the approba.
ton Of the President and was concuFred in by
every member Of the Cabinet"
Now in tho first place, Mr.. Tyler de-
clares that he never would approve Of
Bans Charter, and, in the second place,
Mr.. Tyler did approve OF Bank Charter.
