The NORTHERN LrGHrs.-The Investigations
IN this country, and Europe into the nature and
causes Of the Aurora Borealis, are educing certain
facts that are found amenable 10 certain laws,
which may finally lead to the solution of the astro-
nomical puzzle. The Royal Society Of Edinburgh,
in $50, ascertained that the aurora appearances
quite faithfully correspond to the diurnal and
nual variations Of the magnetic needle. They
most at nine o'clock, increasing towards and dlmin
ishing from that hour OF the night, They also
greatest at the equjnoXes, and least at the sol
stces, and particularly at the summer solstce.
They have also monthly variation Of frequency,
intensity, which depends obviously on the age
OF the moon, being the greatest when the moon Is
about 1t the end of her first and third quarters,
The results OF these Investigations interesting.

has denied them anything like a general circula-
ton. Their value, however, is fully appreciated
by the whole profession, who, we have no doubt
will hasten to avail themselves OF the opportunity
of possessing themselves of the republication of
Messrs. Little & Brown, which can be had at less
than one-ffth the expense of the original works.
From The Boston Courier.
The enterprisng publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, as We judge, lo..s-felt
desideratlDa-a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series of reports Of all the decisions OF all the Eng
lsh courts. The series commences with the cases
of the November term, 1850; and we observe in the
first number decisions pronounced IN Westminster
Hall on the 30ih January 1851. This is unparal-
leled despatch in the history of legal reporting
Westminster is here brought two years nearer 10
US than our own courthouse. The style in which
the work is issued reflects great credit upon the
publishers, editors, and all connected with IT,
The page Is large, fair, white, and readable. The
table of cases and index seem to be prepared with
much care and diligence. The former strikes us as
executed on very useful plan, referring not only
TO the and page of the volume, but containing
also short abstract of the subject OF each case.
referring to American decisions and still more to
the value of the work. The publication is to be
continued in monthly parts numbers, making
each year six large octave volumes, for the remark
ably low price Of $40 per annum. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner-
alton for the service they here doing the legal
profession.
Such publication, we think, cannot fail to be
useful TO the profession and profitable TO the pub
lishers.- Philadelphia Legal Intelligenesy.
