Mr. Editor : The coarse of lectures re cently delivered by Dr. Morron on the science of the stars, Las been one of surpassing interest, and it is but sclddui that the good people of our place are fa - vored with such a rich intellectual treat or one which they seemed to relish as well. Although entirely removed from the sphere of the practical, yet the great truths, and speculations of Astronomical science, when once clearly presented never fail to awa ken attention by their grandeur and nov elty. Under their influence, the mind in the intensity and rapidity of its conccp- j tions breaking away from its moorings to earth, sweeps out in the ocean universe of I I Itrwl tl 9 ri.'li nn rioT'irti' if tlntlKrlit aud expression, combined With the power of clear and condensed mathematical statement, the eloquent lecturer never fai led to please and intere.-t. Crisping the main points of his subject with a vigor and boldness which showed him to be per fectly at home; on every part of it, he made them pass so vividly before the mind, that one scarcely needed the aid of his beautiful diagrams to render them visible part of his uumcrou and intelligent -mdi P!iL-f,:ii rvident from thefixedncs fatten tion mil breathless stillness which prcvai- 1 led. Anxiety seemed to be depicted up on every countenance, lest some important thought might be lost and the enchanting -pell broken.

MeaJf w,icn eft New York for Savan- nah, on Thursday, on her larboard bow, very near. She immediately stopped and backed the engine, but too late to prevent a collision. The forward part of the bark was struck, splitting the bows entirely open, and in less than five minute she went down with fifteen passengcrs'and nine of the crew. The Southerner lay by the spot, with three of Frances' life bonts, and were enabled to save two passengers and seven of the crew. 'The fsauc Mead had a ery valuable frei"rrt for Savannahirnnd the interior. The damage tn the Southerner was incon siderable notwithstanding the violence of the concussion. The captain'of the Southerner soys he had three lights. A white light cn the nia-.t-hcod, a red light on the starboard paddle bos, and a blue light on the larboard which can be seen ten miles.
