We learn from passengers on board the

yesterday, that Deputy Marsha! Edward
Gordon had arrested, on Jakyl Island, an
African that gave every evidence of recent

the St. Mary's at Brunswick, with the

HEAT FROM THE SrARs.-It is startling
fact that if the earth were dependant alone up
on the sun for heat, it would not get enough to
make the existence of animal and vegetable
life upon its surface. 1t results from the re-
searches of PouiIlet, that the stars furnish
heat enough in the course of year to melt
a crust of ice 70 feet thick, almost as much as
is supplied by the sun. This may appear
strange when we consider how UNNECESSARILY
small must be the amount of heat received
from any one of these distant bodies But the
surprise vanishes, when we remember that
the whole armament is so thickly sown with
stars, that in some places thousands are crowd
ed together within space no greater than
that occupied by the full moon.-Dr. Ldrdner.
