road for the transportation of passengers and freight
between those points and any desired ports on the At

Too much credit cannot be awarded Senator 1uiee'

AsTRoNoMICAL.-Pr Professor Nichol the eminent
British astronomer has lately advanced some interest
ing astronomical theories. According TO Prof. M
the opinion which has been so generally held that
the zodiacal light proceeds from a nebulous ring
around the sun, is premature appearance coming
in fact, from great nebnlons ring surrounding the
earth The appearance is also of such character as
to necesstae the conclusion that there is not one
ring only, but perhaps several Its distance is about
100000 miles, its breadth So 600 its depth is not vet
known ; the mass of matter in it must be enormous
and there is every reason for believing that it fls
important functions in regard to the earth aud
the solar system.
The composition Of saturn's rings is another point
in modern astronomical discussion to which Professor
Nichol has directed some Of his most learned invest
cations. From the dynamical conclusions OF Lapace
combined with the changes aseetaned the inference
is drawn that the rings have no they
are neither Vapor nor fluid, but are composed of mil
lions of asteroids circulating round the planet, the
bright parts being where they are most thicky
strewed and the dark lines indicating the absence Of
them. There is faint slaty colored ring seen within
the Others which appears to be gradually approach
ing the planet 1t has approached at the rate of fifty
miles year-latterly at about eighty miles year
and if it increases to one hundred miles year, it
will reach the planet itself in one hundred and eighty
years.
