As the battle was one of the most sanguinaiy
ausl decisive foiiglit during our revolution,the
tiarrative ofit must be interesting to every de-
scription ofrcziders. The account is not, how-
ever so precise and distinct as could be wish-
9 .. . . -
‘ed but it has the happy effect of introducing
thd reader to a knowledge of the state of our
soldiery at that eventful period. The conclu-
dine’ palragrzipll, relating to the death ofa
youhv marl killed in the battle, is perhaps the
ms, and it is hoped to be the last) instance
of the love of country, supplanting in the ho-
som ofa father, the love and affection due to

A Gcrinau journal contains the following
curious facts, by Count Moscati and his assis-
[am M_ Qnn-in Maui-i, which were drawn up
at Milan. having been deditced from observa-
tions of the former, in that city :
“ On the 3d of October,” says that astrono-
mer, “ the craters of three volcanoes, lately
discovered in the surface of the sun, appe..arcd
quite distinct, but elliptical ; they were situa-
ted about the edge of the Still in the form ofa
transverse belt. On the 4th, the two nearest
to me edge were invisible, owing to the sun’s
revolution, and the contour of the other was
less distinctly marked than before. Onthe
opposite edge however appeared very pldlllly
on the sun’s'disk, two detached planetary mas-
scs, in conjunction. On the 7th, half of the
middle crater ofthe Sd was seen nearly circu-_
lar because it had approached to the centre of
the solar disk. On the 8th the circumference
of this crater appeared lengthened, and the
crater observed on the fourth seemed almost
round, and nearest’ to the centre of the disk;
as did in its turn, the last and only one visible
on the 4th. On the 17th were remarked three
tliffeient planetary masses in conjunction, like .
those above mentioned but not so large; on
‘be found in a more favorable position.
the 18th appearetl three small but probably
similar masses;on the 19th, 3 smaller; on the
9.3d 3 still smaller ;'on the 29th, five, little dif-
fering froin the precediiig ; and finally,on the
80th, near the edge ofthe sun, a small portio'ti
of one of the craters described above. All
the masses without ‘ exception were in the it-
bove mentioned zone. The powers of the
telescope would not allow of any further dis-
coveries dtiring the time specified.”
From these phenoniena M. Maori deduces
the following inferences :
“ The sun must he considered as a body,
containing it matter capable of producing dis-
tinct volcanoes, because it has recently exliib-
ited traces of such craters, and the projected
masses really, or at least to appearance, cov-
cred the luminous surface in several places.
There is every reason to believe that the sun
is a solid, not a fluid body, because the volca-
nic craters are distinctly to be seen open for a
con.~:iderablc time altogether. The sun is on
the other hand it cold body, not so hot as to
melt or produce a red glow, because the parts
observed in these abysses were not fiery, but
black. The sun has, for the promotion of fer-
tility, a luminous, slightly fluid envelope, like.
the green carpet that covers our fields, because
soiue folds ofluminous matter incline down-
ward, in order to cover the bare places or
some of the interior edges of the crater. The
sun, imderneatli the above mentioned enve-
lope, is not luminous, because the interior of
the newly opened craters was quite dark. its
well as the masses thrown tip by them. The
sun has probably a warmth nearly approach-
ing to the temperature of oiireartli, because
volcanoes which are hotter than the rest ofthe
mass of the earth, iiiiike their appearance
there. The sun re-produces the luminous en-
velope, whenever the latter is broken through
because the volcanoes are gradually covered
again with it, after the manner of an organic,
and, to us unknown matter. The sim accom-
plishes its daily revolution in about 108 hours
of our time. This period is ascertained by
the reappearance of the individual craters
discernablc by us on the surface ofthe sun ;
and on this occasion it may be affirnicd, that
the spots, as they are called, upon the sun, are
citlicr atmosplieric phenomena, or aerolities
passing about it, because they change their
situations with respect to each other.
Perliaps they may be wrecks front that re-
mote catastrophe described bybloses; perhaps
fragments tho’ of smaller dimensions, yet of a
sitinlar nature with those which we have in a
former place denominated planetary masses;
fragnients of that kind which Itemarked in
diverging columns, more or less fun shaped,
which accoinpanictl the last beaiitifiil comet,
like an atinosplierc illuuiinated in opposition
with the sun, and through which on account
of the inferior power of reflecting light, I dis-
covered the real opaque nucleus ofthat mete-
or. I could appeal for the truth of this to the
testimony ofvarious eye witness, and among
the rest a professor who observed it with me,
and who entertainetl no doubt of the reality of
zlie phenomenon. The sun has on_its surface,
prodigious concavitics, and proportionate pro-
iuherances; because the situation of the ellip-
tic axis of the crater differed frotn that oftliose
wliich would have been producetl on a per-
fectly level sphere. Besides its annual and
diurnal motion, the sun has it conical revolu-
tion round its pole, which is pcrforiiaed by its
axis in about :17 days of our time; because the
last portion of the crater in the zone original-
ly discovered, re-appeared in tlnttgperiod, af-
ter the positive passage of the crater into oth-
er zones. I might mention some other dis-
covcries worthy of notice, but this letter is al-
ready long enough. Allow me, however, to
express my ardent wish that astronoiners,pos-
sesscd with all the requisite instruments and
skill, would examine and confirm the discov-
cry ofthe latest planets that have issued from
the suit.
The three largest seemed to belong to the
class of Venus and Mercury. If the sun’s
light would preclude observations of them at
present, in their elliptical siluatiou,they might

discovercrs might then give thetn what up-
pellation they plw.-ise, with the exception of

. HABIT.
Dr. Plot, in his history of Stafi'ord-sliire,
tells us of an ideot that lived within the sound
ofa clock, was alwtiys aniusing liiniselfby
counting the hours ot the day, whenever it
struck.——Tlie clock being spoiled, the ideot
continued to strike and count the time with-
out it, in the same manner he did before.
A lady ofthis city has contracted the habit
of counting the panes ofglass in the house,
the monient she casts her eye upon the win-
dow. She has repeatedly assiircd her friends
it is impossible to cure iierselfof the habit,
and that the sense of weariness and pain
from associatiiig the number of panes with
the idea of a house or window, is a liuudred
times worse than the labour of superintend-
ing the concerns of her family.
A boy in Vermont, accustomed to working
alone, was so prone to whistling, that as sooti
as he was by liitiiself, he unconsciously com-
menced. lVlien asleep, the muscles of the
inotitb, chest, and lungs were so completely
concatenated in this association, he whistled
with astonishing slirillness. A pale counte-
nance, loss of appetite, and almost total pros-
tration of strength, convinced his mother it
would end in death, if not speedily overcome,
which was accomplished by placing him_ in
the society of another boy, who had orders to
give him a blow as often as he began to whistle.
An attorney insensibly contracted a ha‘ it
of iiumbering his steps, when walking, and.
when in his office, of thinking how many
paces distziiit were certain places in the neigh-
bourhood. He found it nearly impossible to
meditate on any other subject. He fancies a
cure was effected by walking over the stream,
on El. pole, where he was in imminent danger
of being drowned.
A trunk maker, in the country could never
refrain from biting his nails, at a moment of
leisure. In 1816, every appearance ofa nail
on the left fingers and right thumb was oblit-
eratetl.
A child in New-Hampshire, who was us-
ually seated in the meeting house, on the
Sabbath, opposite to an old gentleman who
laboured uniler chorea cancti viti, contracted
the habit of imitating distorted features, to
such a degree, that its face was continually in
a grimace. The child was cured by working
at needle work, before a mirror.
A pious woman in the eastern section of
New- Hampshire, who drew large quantities
of water from a déepivell, with. a-pole‘, ivas

before the bible, unconciously moving her

from the well. . , t . _

Affectation of any kind "is ridiculous; that
of learning is to me sometimes amusing.
'1‘here are many people, who although but
indifferent readers, will make use of high
sounding words, to etnbellish (as they think)
their discourse. In the choice, or rather
tnisapplication of words, they are soinetin-ics
rather unfortunate. The following speci-
mens are not of tny iiiveution; I actually
heard them:
A man said he had lately dined at a
friend’s house in very presumptuous style;
but coming home, was exalted by a rulfian
and severely hurt.
A young man applying for a vacant
school was informed by one of the trustees
that a dtficienl number of scholars could not

A teacher in a certain great city told me
that “the salvation of Algebraic problems,

Punctuality.-—“President Washington was
the most punctual man in the observance of
appointments, ever known to the writer. He
delivered his coinmiiiiications to Congress, at
the opening of each session, in person. He
always appointed the hour of twelve at noon
for this purpose; and he never failcil to enter
the hall of Congress while the State-liouse
clock was striking that hour. I-lis invitations
to dinner were always given for four o‘clock
P. M. Ile allowed five minutes for the vari-
ation ofiime-pieces: and he waited no long-
cr for any one. Certain lagging members of,
Congress sometimes came in when dinner
was nearly half over. The writer has heard
the President say to them with a smile.
“ Gentlemen, we are too punctual for you—l
have a cook who never asks ifthe compa-
ny lias cotne,but whether the hour has come.”
Lore Lctters.—In :1 paper which we have
just taken up, there is a curious anecdote of
one who if we can trust his own account,
must have been the most gallant man in the
world. l\.larshal de Bassompine, says in‘ his
memoirs, “being informed ofcardinal Riche-
lieu’s design to have me arrested, I rose, Feb.
24, 1631, before day, and burned more than
sin: thousand love letters, which I had former-
ly received from tlitfei'eiit Wolllilll, apprehend-
ing lest, if I were committed to prison, and
my house searched,something might be found
to the prejudice of some person—these being
the only papers that could injure any one.”
Fall qf rain between the Tropics.-Professor
Silliniau gives the following statement On the
authority of M. Rousius, captain of a vessel.
It is contained in a letter from Cayenne.—
“ You will perhaps learn, with no inconsider-
able interest, the following meteorological
fact, the authenticity of which I am able to
certify. From the 1st to the 94th ofJanuary,
1820, there fell upon the island of Cayenne,
twelve feet seven inches of water. This ob-
servation wus made by a person of the high-
est veracity, and I assured myself, by expos-
ing a vessel in the middle of my yard, that
there. fell in the city ten and a quarter inch-
es of water, between eight in the cvening and
six in the morning of the 14th and 152th of
that inonth.”
Jllliany Busin.—Thc mole or plot, will ex-
tend from the state arsenal dock, as its north-
ern point oftermination, to a point opposite to
lItitlg::’s dock, in the line of Hain':lton-«street;
forming a line, slightly curved, of 4,000 feet
in lcngth.- The width of the pier is eighty
feet, in the centre of which, with a street
twenty feet wide on each side, will be erect-
ed the contemplated wareliouscs, and for
which purpose it is made the duty of the
board of commissioners to divide the lots,
and dispose oftheui at public auction. The
extensive basin thus formed, and fronting
nearly the whole city, will be of ii width of
from eighty to two hundred feet, and a depth
of ten feet, will) a lock, which is partially
constructed, at the point of its connexion
with the canal, and a sloop lock at the south-
ern extreniity, or point of cmiimunication
with the river. Besides the connecting
wharf and bridge at the northern and south-
ern terminations, two tastefully ornamented
bridges will connect the pier with the city at
intermediate places.-/ilrgus.
