AsrRoSonc CoLLrcrASEA.-In tic rapid sum
mary of the progress OF science during tho past
year made by Sii David Brewster, in his address
delivered at the annual meeting OF the British As
sociation for the Advancement Of Science, he took
notice of various isolated facts and observations OF
considerable interest. Among the astronomical
items, he stated that the MARQUES OF OrmOnde had
secn-or said TO have secn-"from Mount
Etna, with his naked eye, the satellites Of Jupiter"
sir David argues, from this the discoveries that
may be expected, when obscrvatories arc built in
the upper regions, "irOm large reflector working
above the grusscr strata Of our atmosPherc;" but
we arc affaid We shall want the Marques OF Or
monde 20 make them.
The following remark was made respecting hIr.
Iasscls, the eminent Liverpool astronomer, who
first detected the moon of Neptune, and made dis
covcry of the eighth satellite of Saturn the
day when it also discovered by Professor Bond,
at the observatory OF Cambridge, near Boston;
"Mr. Lassels," said Sir David "has still more
recently, and under singulary favorable state OF
the atmosphere, observed the very minute, but ex
treinely black shadow Of the ring Of Saturn upon
the body of the planet. lie observed the line Of
shadow 70 be notched, il were, and almost
broSen up into line Of dots; thus indicating moun
taiDs upon the plain OF the ring-mOuntains doubt
lcss raised by the same internal forces and answer
ing the same ends as those Of our own globe"
The following conveys pretty vivid idea OF the
boundless expanscs OF space and the prodigious
distances Of those stellar bodies which are the glory
Of the heavens and the wonder Of man
''ln passing from our solar system to the iron
tier of the sidcreal universe around We, we traverse
a gulf Of inconceivable extent II we represent

orbit of Neptune, and the nearest fixed star, will

parllax OF the nearest fixed star being supposed to-
be one second, its distance from the will be
nearly 4l2, $40 times the radius OF the carts orbit,
or 746 times that of Neptune, which IS thirty
times as far from the sun the earth. Aud yet tp
