NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
A STRO NoMICAL.

We lay before our readers the translation byMr
A. SHucKING of letter from Professor GERLING,
of Marburg, lin Kurhessens,) to Lieut.. GLLIss
Professor GERLING invites the cooperation of Anne
ricans in great astronomical enterprise having for
Its object to effect new and more precise determi-
nation of our distance from the sun, on which de-
ponds the dimensions of the orbits of all the bodies
in our system. He is known to the literary world
as the ellowaborer with GAUSS in the triangulation
of the kingdom of Hanover, and as author of the
most complete treatise extant the art of properly
assessing the small but necessary errors of obser-
vations, so as to obtain, even from slightly imper-
feet data, the perfect dimensions of trgonometr-
cal survey. His geodetical labors completed, this
learned astronomer is now directing his efforts to
more accurate determination of the dimensions of
the solar system.
The Importance of the subject must commend
Professor GERLINc's letter to the attention of Ame-
rican astronomers, for whose benefit it is here made
public.

The first result of the treaty the suenderng of two
Chinese offenders who brought the factory and bam

the object of the expedition the squadron returned on the

Many of the British residents Canton express strong
dissatisfaction with the result OF the negotiations but differ
opinion is entertained by OF the leading houses in
Hong Kong, as well as by all the Americans"
The above appears to have been boodess
achievement; such, however, was not the result Of
a somewhat similar conflict between the French
squadron and the Cochin-C Chinese, in the Bay of
Thourane Of which we have the annexed account :
"The Cochin Chinese like their kindred and neiahbors
the Chinese, have into collision with European Power
Two French vessels of had gone Thouane demand

afterwards burnt and the Cochin Chinese admas vessel

few shots hit After this the French gates withdrew.
From tho number of troops board the vessels and in the
forts great slaughter must have been committed Private
say that thousands killed. Only two three
killed and wounded in the French frigates.
Great alarm prevailed at Canton by the last accounts, and
the merchants removing their property under the
henson of violence from the Chinese.

The planet approaches the last of these

its orbit will not probably be than 30 distant from any

The new moon will occur the 9th September, but as
the smallest distance from Venus the It'll amounts
least So it is to be hoped that the moonlight will
impedmen to obervaon but fear that the evening twi-
light will scarcely permit mcrometer observations observa-
tories of the northern hemisphere, at Palermo and WASH
ingon the altitude Of Venus sunset will be only 70. On
the other hand in the AnHes the will be some Toe be-
low the horizon when Venus is about 80 above and at
the Cape Of Good Hope will still have altitude Of about
100 when totally dark late the 23d September Hence
