ago Judge Christopher NcaIc, Of AL
cNandria, Virginia, made application
for revolutionary pension for one l..
Hall, whose claim WAS rejected ON
the ground that he deserted thc ser

on the application and fled away.
Since then, the application has been
printed in IL Congressional document

for political offences has been re-establish-

The Last New Planet,

The celebrated astronomer, Mr.. Hind, in COM
munlcatlug the elements of the orbit of the seventh
planet which lie had discovered, wrtes:-"For
tE> early knowledge of this planets orbit we are
mainly indebted TO the observation of MIR. Rartnup
OF Liverpool; and it is only one of many instances
where astronomy has benefited the establishment
OF the line observatory in that town, which is sup
ported by the enlightened liberality Of the corpora
uon Ii must, we think, be gratifying 10 the au-
thorltles OF this town to that, while nothing oil
practical nature is neglected which tends to ia
cilltate navigation, or render it more secure our
local astronomer still finds me to use the magni-
icent Instruments in which he has been SO liberal
~ supplied, in such way as to gain the appro.
baton OF the most celebrated astronomer of our
day, and to contribute in no small degree TO the
advancement OF a science to which navigation is so
much indebted. Mr.. Adams W no has been reoues-
ted to name the new planet, proposes to call
call 1t 'Calliope.' Mr. Hind remarks that the dis
coVery OF the planet was not complete till the
morning OF the 18th ult, and that Caliope, whose
ONCE IN ancient mythology required her TO perpet-
ate the Illustrlous deeds of heroesSa hardly fail
TO remind us ofthe event of the 18th. when the
homage OF SO many nations were paid to the memo
~ OF the great est hero of modern times.
This planet which will accordingly bear the
name OF Calliope, the music of epic poetry is the
seventh discovered by the distinguished astrono-
mer' Mr.. Hind, and the 21st now known to exist
between Mars and Jupiter. Within few days WI
| nave an account ofyet another having been found
at Paris, which had received from Arago the Latin
| name ofthat city (Lutica) but the statement re-
| quires confirmation.
