Grandeur of Astronomical Discoveries.
BY WILtlAM WIRT. '
It was a pleasant-evening in the menth of
Thk ''an A rmr onra'ethilil mw Rrtsaiie and It
..itntii 't .,i'.. (nivtn eniov the a
breeze that played around it, and to admire the ble
unclouded firmament that glowea anu
with unusual lustre from pole to pole. The at
mosphere was in its purest and finest state ot
vision; the milkway was distinctly developed
throughout its whole extent; every planet and
every star above the horizon, however near
arid brilliant, or distant and faint, lent its lam
bent light or twinkling ray to give variety and
-beauty to the hemisphere: while the round,
bright moon (so distinctly defined were the
lines - of her figure, and so clearly visible even
tree.
the rotundity of her form,) seemed to hang off
, from the azure vault, suspended in midway air
stooping forward from the firmanent her
lair and radiant lace, as if to court and re
turn our gaze.
We amused ourselves for some time, in ob
serving through a telescooe the planet Jupiter,
sailincr in silent maip.stv with his sauadron of
j j ,
satellites along the vast ocean of space be
tween us and the fixed stars; and admired the
-felicity of that design, by which those distant
bodies had been parcelled out and arranged in
to constellations, so as to have served only for
lipnr.nns tn the ancient naviirator, hut. as it
were, for land-marks to astronomers of this.
day; enabling them, though in different coun
tries, to indicate to each other other with ease,
a
the place and motion of these planets, comets,
and magnificent meteors whichinhabit, revolve,
and play in the intermediate space.
We recalled and dwelt with delight on the
rise and progress of the science of astronomy
on that series of astonishing discoveries through
successive ages, which display in so strong
u " light, the force and reach of the hu
man mind; and on those bold conjectures
and sublime reveries, which seem to tower
even to the confines of divinity, and denote the
hiffh destinv to which mortals tend ; that
thought, for instance, which is said to have
been first started by Pythagorus, and which
modern astronomers approve, that the stars
which wecall fixed, although they appear to us
to be nothing more than large spangles of vari
ous sizes glittering on the same concave surface,
are nevertheless, bodies as large as our sun,
shining, like him, with original, and not reflec
ted light, placed at incalculable distances
asunder, and each star the solar centre of a sys
tem of planets, which revolve around it, as the
planets belonging to our system do around the
.sun; that this is not only the case with all the.
stars which our eyes discern in the firmanent,
or which the telescope has brought. within the
-sphere of our vision, but, according to the mod
t ern improvtrieiits of this thought, that there are
probablv other stars whose light has not yet
reached Us, although light moves with velocity
a million times greater than that of a cannon
ball; that those luminous appearances which
wc observe in the firmanent, like flakes of thin,
white cloud, are windows, as it were, which
open to, other firmanents, far, far beyond the
ken of human eye, or the power of optical in4
fytruments, lighted up, like ours with hosts of
xtars or suns ; that this scheme goes on through
infinite space, which is filled with thousands
HI
n on thousands of those suns, attended by ten
- . -m 1 11 11 1
'thousand, times ten thousand worlds, all in rapid
motion, yet calm, regular and harmonious,
invariably keeping the path prescribed to them ;
and these worlds peopled with myriads of in
telligent beings.
One would think that this conception, thus
extended, would be bold enough to satisfy the
whole- enterprise of the human imagination.
But what an accession of glory and magnificence
does Dr. Herschel superadd when, instead of
supposing all those suns fixed, and themotidn
confined to their respective planets, he loosens
those multitudinous suns themselves from their
stations, sets them all into motion with their
splendid retinue of planets and satellites, and
imagines them, thus attended, to perform a
stupendous revolution, system above sysiem,
around some grander unknown centre, some-
wherein the boundless abyss of space! and
when, carrying on the process, you suppose even
that centre itself not stationary, but also coun
terpoised by other masses in the immensity of
.space with which, attended by their accumu
lated traits ol

EXPENSES OF A KING.
Extract from a letter to the editor of the
London Court Journal dated, Paris, June, 1832
The following anecdote may give you som
idea of our ex-king's extravagance, in matters
that concerned his penchant for sporting. A
marsh, plentifully stocked with wild fowl, espe
cially ducks, bordered on one of the royal do
mains. The owner had been a sheep-feeder bv
profession, yet a very wolf in driving a bar
gain, and, though in his career he had dealt
with many sheeps' heads, had never yet trans
acted buisness with a crowned one. To this
yL-mdrchand de moutons, the King dispatched
one of his gentlemen with full powers to treat
for the purchase of the aforesaid swamp. Mon
sieur de tleece soon perceived the advantages
oi nis relative position, ana moaesuy demand
ed J0,000 francs for his land and water proper
ty, which might be worth about 10,000 francs.
Le Gentilhomme replied he would let his Ma
jesty know. 1 he next day came, and with it
the Court-ambassador; but the price had been
doubled in the interval, and sixty thousand
francs was announced to be the very lowest
farthing for which the marsh should be ceded
to his majesty. The courtier, once more, with
drew to consult the royal Nimrod, and returned
with full powers to conclude the affair at the
last exorbitant price. M. Fleece, whose appe
uie grew more voracious ai eacn aeiay, now
swore he would have ninety thousand francs or
nothing. The envoy was obliged to yield.-
1 he last named sum was counted down. The
pen for signing the deed of sale was in the pro-
pnetor s hand; when, suddenly a thought
seemed to strike him, and leaning over lhe ta
ble, he whispered into the courtier's ear " Ma
femme pretend que ca vaut bein quelques chose
deplus." "Qui done?" "Elle veut pu'on

splendid Engravings on steel, cqpper and wood,
and with popular Music, arranged for tho

The first number of a new year (volume
tenth) will be issued on the 7th day of July
next.
From the commencement of this paper, ofir
Humble endeavors have been un. casinly exer
ted to elevate the character oj A erc -n peri
odical literature, and we trust that we have not
been altogether unsuccessful.
Our columns have been, and will continue
to be, principally filled with original matter.
Besides the writings of the Editors, we are
honored with occasional contributions from a
list of nearly two huudred native authors, which
embraces many of the most distinguished ani
higly gifted literary men of the land.
In addition to our foreign correspondence,
important sources are open to us forselechons.
The flattering and general testimonials of wri
ters, and contemporary journals on both sii'ts
of the Atlantic, warrant us in the assertion that
there is no work which gives such valuable
equivalents for the amount of subscriptions, or
which possesses more strong and undeniable
claims to the efficient support of the Amer
can people.
Its steady and marked improvement furnishes
a satisfactory pledge that its progress, in every
department, 'will keep pace with the in
crease of its already extensive circulation,
have received the certain and gratifying evi
dences that it, is read and approved by the most
intelligent classes throughout the TJ. States.
The embellishments for the tenth volume
will be of the most costly and beautiful kind,
consisting of full sized super-royal quarto pia"
executed expressly for the work, by the best
artists. Besides the Vignette, there will be
four superb engravings issued during the year,
which if published separately, would alone
equal the amount of subscription for the Mir
ror. As a guarrantee for the excellence of
this department, it has been placed under'the
direction of Mr.. R. W. Weir.
In addition to the above, there will bepufc
lished a number of finely executed Engravings
on wood, also drawn and engraved for c
work, and illustrative of curious and interes
ting subjects. -
Each number of the ensuing volume will con
tain a popular piece of Music, arranged witft
accompaniments for the pianaforte, harp g,wr'
&,c. At the exDiration of the vear, these form
a valuable collection of the most enow
rare pieces, which altho' occupying little nior
than one sixteenth part of the work, could no
be purchased in any other way, except at a cos
far greater than that of the entire journak
In short, the Mirror will contain everything
which can enhance the value of the paper' a
render it agreeable, instructive and interesucg
The Mirror is published every Saturday,
the corner of Nassau and Ann streets,
elegantly printed, and is embellished, oncecVj
