i, refused to Us BY the State Of New jersey.
For yesn cow our Legislature has annually
appointed Committee of Conference to tstk wild
the Legislature of that State upon this subject. ba.
no satisfactory arrangement could ever be arrived
a. II is true Governor Of the State, who ls!ek
subsided into private life proposed to give Us few
acres Of the Hook in exchange for Staten Island,
but that project wss never seriously entertained.
We believe too, that the people Of New-Jerey ars
very generally hostile to any negot alton looking TO-
ward the proposed removal; though the recent
movement in the Common Council os Jersey CITY,
whose resolutions we give in another column would
seem TO indicate the beginning Of juster senti-
ments. But we csloot wait for the change 10
become general. The Summer is approaching. and
something must be done at once.
There are several propositions now before the
Legislature; but, in cur opinion, the plan offered
By the Chamber of Commerce Of this city is that
which will prove most effectud and satisfactory.
They represent that the enire removal TO Sandy
Hook would BE- both mpracticab'e and injurious.
During that part Of the year in which yellow fever
and other infectious diseases are prevalent they
ask that all vessels coming from infected ports
may be detained inside of Sandy Hook. and
that a temporary Quarantine be established
there for their accommodation. In the mean
time the general Quarantine would continue
where it is-the Health OFF ,er having discre;
.ionary power to send vessels Bringing yellow
fever or other infectious diseases to Sandy
Hook 1t seems that for the period ia which
yellow fever is prevalent, the anchorage ground at
Sandy Hook is almost as safe as that of Staten
Island; but, were the general Quarantine perma-
nently placed there, il would first be necessary to
bud extensive breakwaters TO afford shelter for
the shipping in foul weather, and immense hos
pitfalls for the reception of the sick The latter We
certainly cannot build nov, for the reason that
New Jersey has not consented to our occupying
Der territory. But we do not need Sandy Hook for
Quarantine in the Winter; and in the Summer.
during the period for which we shall require II, No
can lodge the Health Officer or his deputy on q
comfortable yacht, and provide hOating hospitals
for the patients and their medical attendants. In
this way New-York and the suburban cities may
be guarded against the introduction Of yellow feS~
during the next heated term.

reports of the trade of each Of the districts propo-

ones; the proceedings thereupon, and the reports

fDa orders. Under an act of Parliament extending
the jurisdiction of the Canadian Courts over those
territories, some of the partners in the Fur Com

with authority to try minor ofenses, and in graver
cases to arrest the culprs and send them to Canada

The settlement on Red River, which is said to
number about ten or twelve thousand inhabitants,

Council, constituted under the authority of the Com

legislative powers. An agricultural colony was
commenced on vapcouyers Islard in ls4s, but it
does not appear to have made much progress.
Except at these two points it has not been the
policy of the Hudson's Bay Company to encourage
colonization.
The subject has come before Parliament in con-
sequence of an application by the Company for the
renewal Of their license, which expires in 1889.
The Government, instead of taking the response

subjec. to select committee--incuding even the
validity Of the charter of 1870 which, in the course

that if not opened to colonization BY Great Britain,

64 and 1856, astronomers haye notagreed
IinGaleslating its revolution, and there is
some Uncertainty when it will appear
One calculated il would be visible in 49,
48, another in 1860, and another between
1856 and 1850. In regard to the inhu-
ence comets may exert on the earth is not
well determined. 1t is highly probable
that comets may exert a peculiar influence e
on our terrestrial system in addition to
that of other celestial bodies In regard
to the physical construction of comets,
but very little is known. AS to the nu-
clous part of comet, il is supposed 10 be
solid or dense; and its nebulosity to be
something analogous to globular masses
of vapor, so transparent that the smallest
stars may be, seen through it. The nu-
clei Of comets are sometimes very similar
to the discs of planets both in form and
brightness. The great exciting question
at present, is, will the approaching comet
come in contact with the earth, and pro-
duce conclusion? 1t is not impossible
that comet may not come in contact
with our globe. But when we consider
the immense cubical space occupied by
the planetary system in which the com.
cts move, and compare it with the small
capacities of these bodies; and when We
take into view certain mathematical calcu'
lations in reference to the subject, the
probability of a shock from comet il
extremely small. The chances agains
such an event, however, are so very nu
merous, that there is no reason to dreaC
its occurrence. A few years ago, the
French government called the attention
of some of her ablest mathematicians ant
astronomers to the solution of this prob
lem; that is, to determine upon mathe
matcal principals, how many chances o
collision the Earth was exposed to. AT
ter mature examination, they reported
awe have found that, of 281,OOO,OOO o
chances, there is only one unfavorable
There exists but one which can produce
collision between the two bodies. In tn
remarks | have made, | have in the frs
place shown that the expected comet mus
be the one of 1866, and that it is not wel
determined whether it should have ap
peared in 1848, or until 1860. In tn
second place l have shown that the inAu
enoe exerted by comet on our earth ca
be but slight at most And in the thirC
place have brought in the report of til
most able mathematician and Astrono
mers of France, to demonstrate that ther
is but one possible chance out Of 28l ,00C
600 of collision between the earth an
a comet, In conclusion permit me t
say, that all men everywhere should pu
their trust in the great Author of unver
sal nature, who not only created the sur
moon, stars and comets, but directs q
their movements.
