COMETS THEIR COMPOSITION, HISTORY AND MOVEMENTS. The first (?met that was discovered and l, scribed accurately, was by Nieephorous. At thcbirth of the great Mithridates, 135 II.- C.; two large comets appeared, which were seen lor 54 uajrs together. Their pleiulor, says Justin, eclipsed that ol the n.'ul-day sun probably an ancient ex oneration ; ami they occupied a fourth I art of the heavens. During the reign .,( ihe Exper?ior Justinian, in the early part .f the sixth century, three comets were iibluat one time These, as did the nhenoinena at the birth of Mithridates, t-xcited the terrors of the superstitious 1 indeed of all mankind, the more especially ;is both periods were distinguished by war, pestilence and famine. A most brilliant modern comet appeared in 1769, and pass-, t d within 2,000,000 miles ol the earth. One still more brilliant appeared in Sep lember, October, aod November, 181 1, and was visible all the autumn with the naked eye. Another comet appeared in 1823 while in 1841, there was one of .enormous magnitude, but without any TTimrrtwir-irifi -Tnrrcincnrntru our readers. It only remained in 1 or a few days, having moved from the sun southeastward with incredible Velocity. To the eye of the common observer, when seen just above the western yhorizon, its coma or tail must have beeir nearly 100 deg. in length. l)r Dick, in his celebrat ed work 011 Celestial Scenery, devotes considerable space to the physical con stitution of comets. The nucleus he re gards as the solid or densest part of the comet. Some suppose that the nuclei of comets are transparent, as well as their nebulosities, and allege as a proof, that stars have been seen through a nucleus The accuracy of such statements is, how ever, questioned. 'In respect to the tail or luminous train which generally accompanies comets, it is found that it is generally in opposition to the sun, or on the prolongation of the line which would join the sun and the nucleus. But this is not always the case. Sometimes the direction of the tail has been found at right angles with this line, and in ome extraordinary instances, the tails of comets have been observed to point directly towards the sun. This was the case with a comet that appeared in 1824, which for about eight days exhibited an additional luminous train in opposition to that which assumed the ordinary direction. This anomalous tail, according to Olbers, w as 7 deg, long, while the other was only 3 deg. and it was bright enough to be seen with an opera glass. In general, however, it is found that the tail inclines constantly towards the region last quitted by the comet, as if in its progress through an ethereal medium, the matter forming it experienced more resistance than that of the nucleus The tail is generally en larged in proportion to its distance from the head of the comet, and in certain cas it is divitled into several brancJi ready noticed of the comet of 1807. Some have supposed that the divided tai! is noth ing more than a perspective representation of the sides of a great hollow cone; but there are certain observations which seem to prove that in some cases they have a separate existence as independent branches. The most remarkable instance of a di vided tail was in the comet of 1244. On the 6th and 7th of March, there were six branches in the tail, each of them about 4 deg. in breadth, and from 30 deg. to 40 deg long. Their edges were pretty well defined and tolerably bright ; their middle emitted but a feeble light, and the inter vening spaces were as dark as the rest of the firmament. The tails of comets, as already noticed, sometimes cover an im mense space in the heavens. The comet of 1680 had a tail which extended to 68 deg., that of 1 SI 1 to 23 deg. and that of 1769 to 97 deg. in length, so that some of these tails must have readied from the .enith to the horizon. The length of the tail of the comet of 1680, estimated in miles, was 112,750,000, that of 1769, 44.000,000 ; and that of 1744,8,250,000 milts. A body movimr at the rait nf an - - ... miles every hour would not pass over the space occupied by the tail of the comet of 1680 in less than 643 years. It has been supposed by some astronomers that cer tain changes in the appearance of the tads of comets arise from the rotation of the cometary body ; as some comets have been supposed to rotate about an axis passing through the centre of the tail, such as that of 1825, which was concluded, from cer tain appearances, to perforin its rotation in 20 hours 30 minutes. As to the nature of the immense tail of comets, their origin, or the suDstances of which they are composed, we are en tirely ignorant, and it would be wasting time to enter into any speculation on this subiect, as nothing could be presented to the view of the reader but vague conjee tures, gratuitioushy potheses, and unfouud ed theories." Philadelphia Inquirer. CT" Another chapter from Col. Ben ton's history treats of the West Point Military Academy, and shows why deser tions are so frequent in the U. S. Army, and why native born citizens are so loth to enter it. Col. Benton looks upon the West Point organization as hostile to the rights of the people, that it takes away the Sen- ate's influence as a co-ordinate branch of the Government, makes the President and the MilitaryAcadetny the appointing pow er over the army officers, creates a govern ment instead of a national army, prevents merit and talent from ever rising above the rank of a non commissioned officer, unless it has gone through the doors of the Military Academy, anil, by denying pro motion from the ranks, induces desertion, or prevents men of education or character from ever entering the service. Col. Ben ton was at the head of the Senate's com mittee on military affairs for 20 years, and therefore speaks from knowledge of the subject. Chas. Courier.

K. T vler - and otucer JJiyington, 01 tins city v We give the facts of the case as we re ceived them from the officers who made the capture of the supposed criminal. A few days since Mr Tyler received a news paper anil a letter through the post office nah Courier, and containing notices of va rious rewarils ottered for the apprehension of fhe murderer of Mr James M. Jones, on th6th-July, 1849; and the letler being addressed by the brother of the nrtmlered loan to the deputy marshal of the district, aid conveying inforaiation that the often der' was supposed to be acting in the ca pacity of a waiter, at the Cataract House at the. Falls, " . SO" JTlfe firjrf ntice of. reward is dated July 6,t849iSnd is . ottered by the Mayor of iavAH, the sum being S200, and the 'ylh a t tinP jiHlivae iinlfnimni . i SI2.UOO. ottered by Ma com D. Jones, a relative of the deceased, for the apprehension and conviction of the offenders; and the third of $300, offered by Alfred E. Jones, for the arrest of Patrick Sneed, he being then discovered to have been the murderer. Some weeks since, a citizen of Savannah, being at the Fails, discovered in the person of one of the waiters the man Patrick Sneed, and communicated the fact to Mr A. K. Jones, whom he subsequently met at Saratoga. Hence Mr Junes' informa tion to the deputy marshal. Upon enquiry at the Falls, Messrs Tyler and Boyington discovered that the man ueed was passing at the Cataract House by the name of Jos. Watson, and had been employed there about two years. His appearance left no doubt in the minds of the officers as to identity with Patrick Sneed, the murderer of Jones, and they therefore proceeded on Sunday to make the arrest. Having applied to the proprietors of the house for their assistance, which however they declined to give, although desirous of ottering no obstruction to the law, the officers after dinner, instructed a bov to call their man from the room, on pretence of being desirous of remunerating him for his attendance upon them while at dinner. The ruse succeeded, and Sneed or Wat son came into the hall, tie was immediately addressed by the name of ''Patrick" by Officer Tyler, and told that he was arrest ed on a charge of murder. Mr lioyington then clapped a handcuff upon one of his wrists, but before he could fasten it on to the other the fellow shouted lustily for assistance, and some seventy to a hundred negroes came pouring out of the door of the dining room into the hall. By this time the officers had sot their Krioner to 1 the trout- pin Kz.tr -tu. waLJi. d raggeil officers back into the dining hall, the following, without relinquishing their grasp. In the hall he was torn from their hands, nearly every vestige of cloth ing being stripped from his person. The doors at the end of the hall were then shut and barred, a number of the waiters re maining outside and obstructing the pas sage of the two officers who endeavored to fight their way through the crowd. At this time, a gentleman in the hotel called upon the guests to assist the officers, but all was confusion and uproar, and none appeared anxious to interfere. The gentleman himself was struck at bv a ne gro, who was armed with a hatchet, but he warded off the blow and knocked his assailant down with a chair. He then shouted for his pistols, and his wife, who was among the outside crowd, quickly brought them down. They were not", however, used. Finding their efforts to reach the door fruitless, Boyington drew a revolver, and placing it close to one man's head, pulled the trigger. The cap missed fire, thus sav ing the man's life, but the act occasioned a stampede, and the officers forced in the door. By this time the man had been got out at the back of the premises, and was hurried down the steps to the ferry and placed in a boat. The ferryman, however, after getting into the middle of the stream, returned to shore in the other boat, leaving his cargo in charge of some of his companions, in order to ascertain with what offence the man was charged. Upon learning the truth he signified to the officers that he would drop down the river and land their man at the steam boat landing, above the susDenjsion bridge. Tyler and Boyington quickly started tor this point, but they were preceded and followed by troops of negroes, some two hundred and fifty of whom arrived at the lauding before them. Finding a band of Irish laborers, seme three. hundred in number, near the spot, the officers requested their assistance, which was w illingly given, and the newly found allies set to work in earnest, strew ing the ground with negroes, knocking down all who opposed them, and pursuing the refugees with stones and yells. The blackguards showed fight for a few ! minutes, but soon left the field in posses sion of the assailants, who seemed to enjoy the sport and to live Donnybrooke fair over again. 1 ne otneers having now a clear field, landed their prisoner, placed him in a carriage, drove some distance until they reached the Lockport rail road, when they took the cars for Buffalo. The accused was safely lodged in jail, and will be con veyed to Savannah as soon as the neces sary papers can be obtained. We learn that the man arrested has no negro blood in his veins, lie is by trade a cooper, is about 5 feet 7 inches high, has red hair and is slightly freckled. The description in the Savannah paper fits him exactjy. Our officers displayed much promptness and courage, and deserve the highest praise for their conduct during the exciting scene.

STEAMBOAT EXPLOSIONS. c " We copy the following interesting ex- tract from the address of Lieut. Hunt, of the United States Topographical Kngi- neer corps, read before the Scientific Con- vention at Cleveland. His theory is very J ingenious, and his inferences seem quite , legitimated . Without, however, endors-; ing his whole -argument, we consider it J ou" dutv to call the attention of our read- ers, and especially all who are connect- ed with steamboat navigation, to so much ; of it as refers to the mode of avoiding the j frequent explosion of boilers immediately J after quitting any one of the landings at j twhirh ihp hoafs tiin a!on the Western t -.-...v-. - ------ m p 1 waters. He insists upon it that an mac is necessary to run clear of these terrific steam disasters is to keep the pump in steady slow operation while the engine is at rest at the stopping place This knowledge should be spread widely throughout the country, and the captain of a boat, who neglects or refuses hereafter to keep the . - I iL. I pumps tn operation, unuer uie tutu in stances adverted to, shoulu oe promptly and signally punished. Now one chief cause of local explosions is clearly of this . description. The boat stops at a wharf; the " Doctor,'' or pump supplying water to the engine, being work ed by the engine itself, stops its water supply when the engine stops. The water in the' boiler goes on boiling until all the air bubbles are boiled off from the water, and the air is mixed with the steam above. Then there ceases to be any evaporation surface, exrept that ou the top layer, which is farthest from the heating surface, and quite inadequate to the consumption of all the heat supplied. Then the mass of water begins to heat up, ami it goes on storing up the uncotisuuied caloric till the water is far hotter than the head of steam would indicate. The engineer then starts the engine, this starts the pump, which sends a stream of air charged with water,direct ly into the glowing fluid. The heat in stantly finds its outlet by an overwhelming evaporation on the newly supplied bubble surfaces, and a tumultuous eouimion 101 lows. The gathered store of heat flashes oft" a portion of the water, into steam of excessive tension; a tension such as noth ing can withstand. The terrific conse quences are too often witnessed in those fatal catastrophes which have given to our western rivers such a tragical reputation. No one can examine a list of western steamboat explosions without being forcibly impressed with the frequency of these ac cidents just as the boat is starting from the wharf alter landing. It seems to me be yond doubt that many of these occur just in the manner now stated, and from the deficiency of air bubbles in the boiler. We see in this reasoning, too, a sufficient explanation of dry steam, or steam hotter than its tension indicates. The heating is then going on faster than the e vapor a tion, and the steam is thus heated as 11 it were not in contact with the water, or tun in a vts.e ljoje. u se 11. It is not always that the remedy for a danger is as obvious and easily applied as in this case. It is only necessary to keep the pump in steady slow operation while the engine is at rest. It should always be capable of an independent movement, and should constantly, while a boat is tired up. be kept at work, however slowly. By this means air for ebullition ill always be sup plied, and the accumulation of heat in a sluggish mass ol water cannot then go on until the explosive point is reached. A warning to young men. A melan choly illustration of the tlanger of " mak ing haste to be rich, without regard to the principles of honesty, has occurred re cently in New Haven. Two young law yers, by the names of J. Works and James H. Conklin, have been sent to the State prison for two years, on conviction of hav ing transmitted to the Pension Office a false certificate in support of a pension claim, knowing the same to be false, with intent to defraud the United States. Boston Valuation. The assesors' valuation, this year is about $206,000,000. State valuation $280,000,000. This enor mous amount is unparalleled in this coun try, except in the city of N. York, which now shows a valuation of nearly 8380,- 000.000. Yet even her wealth bears no proportion to this city, as the present population ol New York is probably 600, 000 : while that of Boston tloes not ex ceed 150,000. New York should have in nronnrtion to boston, at least an as sessed valuation of $1,000,000,000. Bos ton Traveller. Aug. 15. Mississippi Bonds. The Jackson Mis- sissipoian states that the High Court of Errors and Appeals has refused to grant a re-argument of the case instituted against the State by Johnson, the holder of the Union Bank Bonds. The question is now fairly before the voters, whether or not an appropriation shall be made by the Legis lature to pay the judgment. A New Enterprise. We see it stated that they are making houses ot papier mache in England for exportation to Aus tralia and India. these houses, (says an English paper,) which contain from four to ten rooms each, can be readily taken down and re-erected within a period of from four to six hours, so that immediately on land ing in his new home, the emigrant may find himself in a comfortable residence. These houses will be '. s than one-third the cost of ordinary brick houses, and it is probable that they will, ere long, be ex tensively adopted for summer houses, park lodges, railway stations, and moveable barracks, to all of which purposes they are admirably adapted. They are made with hollow walls, thereby excluding damp ; and in the East Indies and other places where the white ant does so much mischief, timber can be altogether dispensed with, and the houses entirely composed of papier mache, which they will not touch in con sequence of its poisonous nature. GETTING FORTUNES BY LOTTERY. A Pennsylvania paper has taken some pains for the purpose of showing how near a man may come to drawing a prize dj buying a lottery ticket. First, it says, there are upwards of seventy numbers used iR making out the tickets, and there are three numbers on each ticket; now the question is, how many different tickets can be made? If but ten figures were used, instead of seventy, there could be issued 3,628,800 tickets, each different from the other; and if twelve figures were used, instead of leventy,. there could be issued 49,000,600 tickets; so a roan, in the first instance, where there are ten numbers, would stand one chance out of - 3,628,800 chances, &in tne last instance, where there are twelve numbers to change by. he would stand but one chance out of 479,000,600. and if the whole seventy figures be used, and if as many different tickets were issued as could be formed by tne permutation of these numbers, it is probable that there would be enough to more than carpet the whole territory of the United States. Of course very few are nrinted. compared to what might be print ed, vet there is iuat as -srood chance of j e the prize to fall to an 1 reprinted ticket as to a printed one. If it does so, as no one can claim the money, it remains with those making the lottery. there are, in such a case, thousands of chances in favor of the lottery makers. Again, if loiteiies were fairly conducted there would be hun dreds of thousands each month receiving a fortune by the high prizes alone; and each year there could be named from one thousand to ten thousand persons thus fa vored by fortune. In this we have only been speaking of one single prize in each lottery, and as there are many important ones in each, the fortunate persons ought greatly to exceed ten thousand annually. Vet, how seldom do you hear that even a $1,000 prize is drawn? Still all the prizes of every lottery should fall on some one at each d'awing. Who gets them? Where do the favored ones live? and how does it happen that their names are not paraded before the public each week? It is simply because no one holds a ticket entitled to the prize, and i f course the money remains with the maker of the lottery. From the Southern Banner. WASHING CLOTHES OF ALL KINDS MADE EASY. I have a small family my wife, myself, and two small children: and, altogether. we have two grown women, two half grown girls, and a negro fellow, to serve us as lot servants. Three days of the week used to be wasted by the women in washing. and the other three in ironing for our little family ; and often when the service of the girls was needed, they were found drawing water or replenishing the fire for the washers- Judge then our joy, if you can, wiien a kinu oiu menu instructed us how to have our washing done in six hours bv one hand.

Put on your boiling vessel, (we have one that holds sixty gallons, got for the express purpose of bailing all at once,,) fill it half full of water, and raise the water to boiling heat, after which put in a ves sel of the size of the one we use, two tea spoons full of Sal Soda, one quart of Soft Soap, and one quart of Lime Water, m;ide by pouring three gallons of water on one quart of lime the night previous, so that it may have had time to settle, and in pro portion, if smaller vessels are used; stir the water and get the sal soda, soap, aud lime water, well mixed up, then put in your clothes, boil rapidly one hour and the work is done. Take them out and rinse well, rubbing slightly as is usual in rinsing. Now pass no judgment, friends, until you have tried it. The same lime water may be kept until it is all consumed.

They then procured a bottle of Dr McLane's celebrated Vermifuge, and took one half at on dose. The result was, he parsed upwards of three quarts of worms, cat up in every form.
