England is a plnet, as we all know, wholly separated from the Earth. dfvMO orif Britannia, bne is, however, not lew anxious to exert her influence on that point. Ihrs planet seems to contain in its centre of gravitation, satellites of the follow ing description : rie-. He describes a diurnal revolution round himself, and an an nual I 4 olution round Mr. Pitt, rie is the smallest of the English stars. It requires an excellent telescope to ,Wnvr him. He is continual lost in the ravs of Lord Grenville, or Mr. Pitt. . DunJas He describes his diurnal ,.ovrt!,,tnn rrkund France, and his an nual one rouna the world. Ilis in Scot land and in India that you may make the best observation of him. He 'has labored under a momentary eclipse ; but it . is still expected that he will re-afppear. - Hawkesbury. star of much brilliancy, but which shines only with a borrowed light. Astronomers have hitherto been puzzled to describe its hr. liable to con- 1 course ; i. ;-- tinual ahrr.aions. Windham. He belonged to the Burk constellation, which has dis appeared. 1 his is a most eccentric meteor, and partakes of the nature of the comet. Astronomers are ttrorig'.y of opinion, that, if he be not closely confined to his orbit, he must end in the destruction of the world. Pitt A star of the first magni tude. He turns continually round George III. from which he is repell ed by centrifugal motion. It is prin cipally at the Stock Exchange, or St. Stephen's Chapel, that a due ob servation may be taken of him. Fox. He is the polar star of Eng land. In every storm and tempest, seamen turn iutuitively. towards him to inquire into their latitude. Addington. lit is i turnip conti nually round every other star. Let him but approach in the least towards Canning, Fox, or even the smallest planet, he is carried away by their motion. Pitt exertt over him the influence of the moon, which pas. sesses th power of raiding or lower ins: the tides. This star is rapidly approaching to an eclipse. CURi; or CONSUMPTIONS.

EZAS SIR, That theory only is to b? censi. dercd a rational cn which is sup ported by facts, and" will a lmit of the most extensive; practical utility. If the following facta may be cf ser vice to you, it will' afford me singu lar satisfaction to have coinmunica.. led them. I myself furnish the first case : My tnatemaj grand m ether my mo ther, five cf her sisters, and four o her brother my sister, beinj my mother's first child, and a brother next in succession to me, by birth. all cl them have been swept off ths stage of life, within my recollection, Vy tha fatal disease Phihms Pulmona lis Fram my youth up to the age i cr twin, y-nme, i was sensible oi great 'Y debililv in the lunrs. an-! tvp.s n;vr' fy j ...

A 1 t . t . . . ? - hied fa After considerable depletion, opium was tried, but in vain. Debility, me cough, and every inflammatory symptom increased. I had recourse to riding, took a journey oi sevciai i j weeks, and continued to let oioou often as the pains were severe hut still in vain In the mean time I oh ained your inquiries and immediately turned my attention to the subject J J hich most concerned me. Alter na- n ving caiefully read that part of the (J work, I pursued the following plan, viz. I let blood, moderately, every third day especially if affected with inflammatory svmutoms, until, wiin the previous blood lettings 1 had been j bled fifteen times in the course of j five weeks. Bv this time, I was much reduced, but my cough was no bttter. I then had recourse to the use of the axf, and to labor of the severest kind. I could not at the time repeat ten strokes without rest. It would seem in the first instance to increase my cough. The result was, that in two weeks I was nearly reco vered. Finding much amendment, I grew remiss in my labor, and in a few weeks I relapsed, and was nearly as ill as before, for I lost ground ra pidly in the second instance. Two bleedings and similar labor, however, finally restored me to good health, and I can now sing loud, and on a sharp and high key ; can speak two hours together ; and, in one word, 1 J consider myself free from ever symp- j torn of that disorder. 1 My wife furnishes a second recent j rw. Her mothfr. ana one oi two . I 1 a. t 1 only ststers, have died ot the skme disease very lately. She was in her youth an active and industrious wo man, and of course took a good deal of laborious exercise. Eut for seve ral years past she has been declining, so th.it, from a fleshy and healthy woman, she became a pale, sickly, emaciated, valetudinarian. The last j summer she brought a fine son. By suckling him she declined in an un usual degree ; was at length taken with a cough, chills at noon and in ihe evening, night-sweats, Etc. I bled her as often as I could find her pu'.se tense ; advised her (contrary io her inclinations) to use servile LABOit. She rook my advice. Her cough is nearly removed, and I have .10 doubt but she will recover. I should not have considered these cases of sufficient importance to call your attention, had it not been for the hereditary circumstance attend ing them. In my own case they are indeed striking, for not only the persons na med above, but a nurab:r of my ma- ernal cousins have died of the same disease. I shall offer a short reflection or two, drawn from my own case. In the first place, I am persuaded that bard labor, if employed in an early stage, can cure the hereditary pre disposition m some cases. Hence I further conclude, that consumptive parents ought never to choose seden- i t y or light employments for their children. Secondly I conclude that although a trotting horse may afford sufticien! exercise for many, yet labor will be far more successful. And lastly, in al! cases, the labor should be such as to require consi derable ehorts on the part of the pa tient. I labored conlinualLj, an rartiv with sumcient intervals to refresh myself by rest. I am sincerely, Sir, vbur most obedient, SAM. K. JEN KINGS. October 5tL, 1804.' From the Salem.

Many cir- cumstanc.es combine to justity an opi- nion. oi trie cnane wnicn the tas- pjan nas undergone. jn ingenious writer has lately brought together evidence from that inland and salt sea, which is now in dispute between the Russians and Persians. By a map, taken trom tne lace oi the country, and compared with the map ! of Ptolemy, and then examined by the chart of Abulsedi, and. that ot . Vanvcrden by order of Peter the j wreat as corrected by uanvwe, ana then with the chart of Pallas, little doabt can arise of this fact within the reach of jucue history. Pallas, that abb observer of nature, observes, that, " The shells which a r'e scatter ed over this country, and which are! the same that ar founJ in the bottom i of the Caspian, and which we never find in the rivers, the sail which re mains in the soil, the sal, ponds scat tered over ihese countries, the extent of flat country in these desirt?, are incotuestible proofs that they must have been covered formerly with the waters of the Caspian. An J it is to be presumed, that this sea dimin ishes daily. No other cause can, perhaps, be assigned, than the gra dual diminution of ail seas, without exception, of which the separation of Lake Aral, on one side, and ot the Euxine, on the other side of the Cas pun, may be deemed an example. Buaching informs, that from the um- 1 : A as-. tea testimony oi naiurauais, mc country around Astracanisjso impreg nated with sea water, that salt chrys tahses. 1 his theory will open a primitive communication through all the northern parts of Europe.

St. Bernard, approaching near td his etui, thus adurrssed his brethren : 1 I leave three things to be observed bv you, which to the extent of my power I have endeavoured to prac tice. 1st. I have not intentionally calumniated any one ; and if any one has fallen, I have endeavoured tv conceal his misfortunes. 2d. I hare always confided less in my own, limn in me juagmen 01 owners. 3d.
