GREENWICH OBSERVATORY.- J We have recently met with an interesting account of the Royal Observatory at Green wich, England, taken chiefly from the annual report of Mr Airy, the Astronomer R.yal There is now a growing taste in the United Slates for scientific pursuits. We begin to meet with men who devote their whole life to study, and contentedly shut their eyes upou the bustle of ihe world around them. In astrouomv we have some very able pro fessors, and the fitting up of the astronomical institutions at Cincinnati aud Washington has onened to them new advantages for ob servation. The only difficulty with these es tablishments is in their position.; s-At Green wic.h the commercial interests of England are served with great care. The masters of ves sels oaiun to sea regulate their time by the signal established by the Lords of the Admi ralty, and are thus enabled to keep their reck ouiu" on their voyages with much accuracy. If we had an Observatory somewhere in this city or near it, we should derive similar advantages. Wo presume there is no one certain standard of lime in our port to which our mariners refer, or by which they can regu late their chronometers. Agronomical time is couuted trom one hour up to twenty-four, and not like civil time, into two equal parts of twelve hours each. Every day til Gtecnwich, the hour of one o'clock, past meridian, is indicated with pre cision. A writer, in commenting upon this, savs that about fivo minutes before the hour, every ship captain iu sight of tho Observatory seizes his telescope and directs bis atteutiou to n bluck ball, which may there be seen ris iug on a staff at the north-west angle of the The instant it ben ins lo tail it THE APPROACHING CAMPAIGN IN THIS DISTRICT J AS.

So iar as we nave ascer tained, and we have had an opportunity ot learning the sentiments of the people inmost of the couoties iu this district, there is "but one opinion on the subject. Indeed, such is the perfect understanding with the party in this matter, and such is the unanimity of feel ing that in most or the counties h nas noi been thought even necessary to hold meetings for the purpose of taking the sense of the people as to who would be their next Repre sentative. The length of time which Gen. McKay has served the people of the 6th Dis trictthe ability which bo has always display ed throughout the whole term of his service the fidelity aud perseverance with which he has discharged the duties of Representative, not only of his immediate constituents, but of the people of the Union, all point lo him as a man pre-eminently qualified to fill, with hon or lo himself and advautage to his constituents the high trust which has been so often before, aud which will most assuredly again be con ferred upon him.

Wilmington Journal. President Polk His Cabinet. Well mav North Carolina be proud of the distiu- - , day when it is observed by arrangement at the seats of science all over the world, the varia tions of the needle are noted every five miu utes during twenty -four hours. Within a few years past Sir Joha Herschel has prepared a set of instructions as to the manner in which these observations are to be conducted. A variety of other observations are con slautly made, as, for example, with the acti nometer, an instrument for ascertaining the radiation of the solar rays, and with rain guages, and anemometers or wind guages. These register of themselves the force, direc tion and duration of the wind. The elec trometer is also a favorite instrument at the Observatory. Whenever the atmosphere is charged with much electricity, a set of bells is made to ring by its means, and the attend ant called to observe the phenomenon. One of the great results of this incessant la of tho fidelity with guished positions occupied by her sons in the loomera attend to eyes of the Union. The pure ore is hers, but it has been left heretofore, in a great measure, to others to cast it iulo shape, and set it prom inently forward, to spsrklo in the high places of ihe country. At one lime it was her bo;ist that she had nine native born senators in Con press. Now she has the President she had until very recently) the President 'of the Seuate twaforeiiin ministers, Messrs. King yf ARftyWmfe. and, fiyn ffejM&MfeJP wit; Wm William Allen, of Ohio; Thos. H. Beutou, of Missouri; and Jesse Speight, of Mississippi. In addition to these, we may mention that Jacob Thompson, of Mississippi, and An drew Johnson, of Tennessee, members of the late IIouso, are both natives of the Old North. All democrats, except Mr. Maugum, wbo- starled iu the faith, but gave out in the midst of the race. - And well may North Carolinians ieel proud of their President -for their President he is, as bis admirable inaugural will prove. He was born upon iho birth-spot of American in dependence, educated at our university, and imbued at the outset with those great republi can doctrines which have made him what he is, and which are yet destined, in our opinion to render him an iustrumeut of honor and good to his country. His first steps augur well ior him. He keeps his own secret, dis plays no small share, of prude nco and discre tion. and siives rioofs, even now. ofHhat in- dependence and decision of characterfvhica bor is the Nautical Almanac, printed three distinguished so pre-eminently he hero of the vears in advance of its date.

D. Purviance, trustees. An act of 1S04 partially changed the mode of electing Commissioners to the preseut modo vfe: to be a Commissioner from each ward, and gave the Commissioners; power to fill any vacancies in their own Board. An act of 1805 empowered the Commis sioners to elect a Magistrate of Police in case of vacancy. Commissioners to appoint a director of Patrol, &r. An act of 1S06, appointed John Hogg, John McMillan, John Eccles, David Ander son and Robt. Cochran, managers of a Lot tery called the Stone Bridge Lottery, tho pro ceeds of which were to build a stouo bridge over Cross Creek, near the mill (now knowu as Lccles ). '" Ihe managers were to raise two thousand four hundred dollars by tho Lot tery. As the money was paid in for the tickets, they were to deposit it in Bank, and after the drawing of tht; Lottery, to. pay the prizes, aud with tho balance proceed to build the bridge. This act also provided that no person should vote for Town Commissioners who had not paid all public county and town taxes. An act of 1S11, says that the Commission- ers, acting in ineir corpora. e capacity, tuuu not buy any property without the consent of five of the seven, nor sell without tho consent of the w hole number. Another act of 1S11 authorized the Com missioners to raise by lottery, $6000 for the purpose of conducting water from Haymount to the different parts of the town.

An act of 1S27 incorporated the Cotlon Plant Steamboat Company for 21 years from the 1st of Januay, lSiS. An act was passed about the same lime, incorporating the Henrietta steamboat Com pany for the same length of tune. This completes the Acts of Assembly which we find iu Mr Mclver's book, in relation to Fayetteville. Some acts we have not noticed; a where an net is merely amendatory of an other act, or is an act for the better regula tion of the town ; without any very impoitaut oi interesting provisions. Communications. For the Carolinian. Mr Bathe : My communication in your last paper had the desired effect in one par ticular at least that of calling the attention of iheiublie to the enormous burthens under which wenie compelled to labor in the article of freights. " A boat owner " has attempted a reply in this week's Observer, but has sig nally failed in showiug that the present rates of freight are not enormously high. I was aware that tho present rates were established in March, lS35 but they do not materially differ from the charges prior to that time even since '35, what changes have taken place in every department of busiuess ! What a re duction in the profits of every man's vocation. Then the profits of the merchant were double what they are now theu tho farmer was get ting three times what he now gets for his cot ton, and far more for every other article of pro duce. Are the profits of ' a boat owner ' on ly lo remain unchanged 1 He says that ouc third of the freights go to the Navigation Com pany. A slight mistake, as the average lolls is only about IS per ceut. I am aware that tho Cape Fear Navigation Compauy enjoy privileges that should uever have been given to any Corporation; and their Charter is a dis grace lo our Statute Book ; and yet, after all this, I stilt contend that fieights are from 25 to 50 per cent, too high, which 1 can easily il lustrate : The freight of a sack of salt from Wilmington is 30 cts.; for about that sum I cau send one across the A'.lantic ; 'tis twice the amount charged from New York to Wil- mingion, or noni vuanesiou io v imnunui. Phe same thing will appear in almost every other article. A barrel of apples or potatoes, costing 73 cts. in Wilmington, ischarg- 50 cents fur carriage here. Molasses is charged almost 2 cts. per gallon ; 20 cts. per hundred for lighter, aud 17 cts. for heavier goods is the freight. For about double this amount I can ;et goods carried by the wag gons to Salisbury or Greensboro , 1 00 miles west of this. In addition lo all these heavy charges, let the river get a little low, and 25 per cent., 1 5 per cent., or 10 per cent, is charg ed according to distance, for lighterage ; aud a very convenient charge that, too.
