and this universal truth is above all evident for the Canadian people; but, iu a country peopled as Canada is.by inhabitants of various national origins, the fusion of all these nationalities into one Canadian nationality, is a mere utopian dream, a social paradox, a political impossibility.What follows?\u2014\u2018Tt is necessary that we (Mess.Hubert et Oie.), the French Canadians, should\u2014at whatever cost to the power and influence of Lower Canada\u2014keep ourselves apart and separate from all our fellow-countrymen of other origins and defend our nationality\u2014that precious legacy we have inherited from our fathers and which we ate bound to transmit to our descendants\u2014, against \u201call comers.\u201d It was accordingly determined that a society should be formed of pure Franco-Canadians, for the purpose of perpetuating their national traditions and of preventing that union of Canadians of all origins, into one homogeneous people, by which, and by which alone, their country can ever hope to assume and maintain its legitimate place on the continent of North America.According to these narrow-minded leasoners, the destiny of Lower Canada is, to lemain forever a standing warning and example of the truth of the aphorism:\u2014\u201cUnion is strength\u201d\u2014aud of that other incontrovertible axiom :\u2014\u201c A house divided against itself cannot stand.\u201d We ate happy, however, to learn that thisFranco-Canadian response to the British-G'aaadian challenge of our neighbor in Great St.James Street, has, like it, met -\u2014 \u2014-.*\tiu a singularly selected, but not unappropriate, locality, ®t*i Ihe chamber of the Criminal Court, in the old government buildings.A French-Canadian friend of ours, seeing lights in the windows of the Court-room at that unwonted hour, was led by curiosity to enter, with others.He found Messrs.Hubert et Cie.in full divan and ascertained the object of the meeting.He tells us there were some thirty or forty gentlemen present, and all of his own national origin, but that the attempt to form the projected \u201c Société Nationale\" was an entire, almost a ludicrous failure.The head ol the Arm, Mons.Hubert, not being an orator, it was intrusted to Mons.Loranger, who is, to explain, in the most delicate manner possible, that the object of the meeting had been postponed, in consequence of\u2014what does the reader suppose?\u2014the presence of gentlemen who, like our friend, it was not expected would be in favor of any exclusive organization of one race of Canadians, in opposition to those of every other race.Mons Loranger, consequently, intimated that Messrs.Hubert et Cie.would issue cards for another and a perfectly select reunion of those who, with them, were willing to do in secret, wbac they were ashamed to acknowledge before the world\u2014and so, the bubble burst.We may, possibly, return to the consideration of these wicked, but most happily abortive attempts to divide our population into national-origio.castes, and to resuscitate bye-gone national jealousies and enmities ; but, for the pro sent, we shall merely remark, while such attempts prove that, iu a great measure, these prejudices of race are bye-gone, or, at all events, are rapidly disappearing, the present total failure to revive them must hasten the advent of that time when, in Canada, as in England and the United States, the national pedigiee of a man will be valued \u201c for antiquity\u2019s sake\u201d alone ; and when politicians will be judged of by their principles, their words and their actions, and not by the accident of their descent, from Noiman, Saxon, Dutch or German ancestors.Divide et imperu, is, we admit, a good, sound rule and maxim of despotism; but on this continent, where by union, and union alone, its people have conquered their rights and liberties, they must be Mind, indeed, who fail to see the object of those \u2014be they French or British\u2014who seek to attain political power by exciting and pandering to the national prejudices and jealousies of their fellow-Canadisns.Bouquet de Montreal.\u2014We have Eau de Cologne, Eau de Paris, Eau de Florence, but Mons.Lubin of Paris has honored our good city by naming his new perfume, Bouquet, de Montreal.For exquisite delicacy of perfume it is unsurpassed, and we have no doubt of its rapid sale.The perfume bears the City Coat of Arms, on which is engraved\u2014\u201c Double Extrait Bouquet de Montreal, fait par Lubin, pour S.J.Lyman & Co., Montreal.\u201d Newspapers \u2014The Chicago Times says, during the ninety-two days comprising the last quarter of 1855, the almost incredible number of fourteen millions, three hundred and sixty-eight thousand newspapers and printed publications has passed through the post office in Chicago.\u201c What\u2019s in a name ?\u201d\u2014À paper has just been started in Richmond, Indiana, called The Broad' axe of Freedom and Grubbing Hoe of Truth.The Wreck ob the Havre Packet Ship St_ Denis\u2014The St.Denis, -Cap.Folansbee, a good vessel of 950 tons sailed from New York on the 1st instant and was lost during the gale on the 6th instant.Captain Lovell, of the ship Naples furnishes the annexed in memoranda : \u201cOn the 7lh inst.1st.38,39 ion.72, fell in with a long boat from the ship St.Denis (hence for.Havre) and took from her the first mate, Mr.Tufts, third mate, Mr.Gardner, and nine seamen and brought them to this port.The cbi-'f mate, Mr.Tufts,makes the following report : \u201cThe ship.sailed from thii port on the 1st inst., for Havre, and on the 6th took a gale from the S E.whichhauld to N.W.and blew a perfect hurricane, (luting which tbs ship sprung a leak and the decks became full of water.We could not get to the pumps to work them.\u201c We then cut away the maiu and mizen masts to ease the.vessel, when we discovered her fast settling down forward, and at 12 M., 6th inst., left the ship, when ehe immediately foundered, and the captain, the second mate, three cabin passengers, and the remainder of the crew remained-in all about 30 souls.11 Mr.Tufts also reports that he was 29 hours in the boat which had the starboard side stove in, and it kept five of them continually bailing to keep her free.They had but one barrel of bread and no water whatever to subsist on during me time, they were in the boat \u201cOn the 7th instant, v,-e were picked up by the the ship Naples, Captain Lovell, from Naples for New York, who readily received us on board.The St.Dennis was commanded by Captain Folansbee, and was bound hence for Havre, with a cargo of grain and flour.The best account which we have seen of the disaster is that given by Mr.Henry Gardner, the 3rd mate.He says .Saturday 5th, 1 A.M., wind chopped around to NW, and blue a perfect hurricane; at which time.ihé vessel began to leak very fast, and the pumps would not work.At 4 A.M., the captain told the mate that the cabin waa tilling with water, and he would like to wear ship.Tried it but could not.Cut away main and mizen-masts and then wqte around on the starboard tack.\u2014 She then, at about 5 A M., began to settle forward, which she continued to do all day till 11 A.M., the wind blowing furiously', and the seas miming wild and high.Resort was ihan had to the boats, when all except the long-boat were found to tie so badly stove as to be unfit for use.The long-hoat was also badly damaged from having a portion of her side stove in; but she was launched, and four men sent into her to bale her and keep her alive.At this time the topgallant forecastle was under water.The mate then asked the captain if he would not get into the boat, and he shook his head in dissent, telling him at the same time, it was no use.The mate then replied that it was the last shift for such as might confide in it, and accordingly entered it in company with the third mate and nine men.After this, and before letting go, the mate agaiu ssked the captain if he would not come with them, saying that he left the ship for tha sake of his wife iu New York.The captain answered that he had a wife and seven children in Brooklyn, but bethought they would not see him any sooner by his taking that boat.They which\u2019wiisâïl tSTylSd tcTsubsist on.ghe had also hut three oars, that were lying in her at the time, togeiher with some half-dozen brooms \u2014 Two of the oars were soon afterward lost, and the brooms wore used as paddles.At 3 P.M.on iftmday, saw a schooner to leeward ; but she was too far off to discern them.At 4 P.M.saw an empty water-cask, also to leeward.Made for it, with the hope of obtaining something to drink but were disappointed.They then descried the vessel, 2i miles to leeward, which subsequently took them on board and brought them into port.A signal was made to her with a red shirt on an oar.After boarding her, they deemed the boat worthless, and let her go.The captain, when last seen, and just previously to the vessel going down, was observed on the quarter deck, winding- up his watch.He was a bold and accomplished seaman.He had been in command of the St.Denis for twelve years, and had acquired a marked popularity with owners, insurance companies, and all who knew him.Two cabin passengers (Mr.aud Mrs.Weirs) who had been married but two days prior to the vessel's departure, were last seen bv the second mate, who went into tha cabin for an axe to cut away the masts, with a shawl over their heads, and embracing each other.The following statement is made by one of the New York papers, but which we consider to be a libel upon the good sense of the owners The bad weather prevented the ship from sailing on the regular day, and many superstitious persons will he confirmed iu their prejudice against Friday, because the disaster followed so quickly upon a breach of the rule which the Agents of this ship have observed for the last twenty years, never to dispatch a vessel on that day.The Captain went to sea upon his own account, aud took his leave of the office before the senior partner of the firm had come from his house.The Lecturer then went on to speak of Eclipses :\u2014 An Eclipse of the sun is caused by an interposition of the body of the moon between the sun and the earth ; this can only happen when the moon is in conjunction, or at the time of new moon.The shadow, owing to the superior size of the sun, is conical.An Eclipse of the sun may be partial or total ; an eclipse of the moon, if csntral, must be total.Hence, there are what are called Annular Eclipses, when a riugoflight appears round the edge of the moon, during an Eclipse of the sun.This kind of Eclipse is occasioned by tha moon being at her greatest distance from the earth at the time of the Eclipse.It is only when the moon is nearest the earth, at the time of a central Eclipse, that it can be total \u2014a thing of rare oecurreuce.When a total Eclipse of tbs sun does occur, total daikupss cannot last more than from four to six minutes.The number of Eclipses in any one year cannot be more than seven\u2014five of the sun and two of the moon\u2014nor fewer then two : hut lbs usual number is four, two for each luminary.An Eclipse of the moon is occasioned by the interposition of the earth between the sun and maou.If the moon always moved iu the plane of the ecliptic, or earth\u2019s orbit, she would suffer a total Eclipse at each full moon.But as the moon\u2019s orbit is inclined about five degrees to the plane of the ecliptic there cannot be more than three lunar Eclipses in the year, and thsre may not be any.Eclipses of the moon may be partial or total.If the moon passes tally through the earth\u2019s shadow, the Eclipse will be total aud, as the earth is much larger than the moon, the Eclipse may he of three or four hours\u2019 duration.A partial Eclipse happens when the moon does not pass tully through the earth's shadow', hut passes a little above or below it.By knowing exactly what distance the moon is Irom the earlh, and the width of the earth\u2019s shadow at that distance, and also the rate at which the moon travels, astronomers can calculate Eclipses with the greatest accuracy years befote ihey take place.The Lecturer then, by an easy trausitiou, passed from the earth's satellite to the Tides of the which it exercises so much i'uflu- CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.Reported far the Montreal Herald Sixty Days Notice for War.\u2014One of our Washington correspondents has advised us that government functionary there says we may have a war with England mless than sixty days.Yesterday there was a slight sensation among the bulls and lame-ducks of Y\\rall street upon a m-mor that the Senate at Washington were in executive session upon the war question ; but late in the afternoon the panic bad-materially subsided.Perhaps they had received later advices from Msrcy.We shouldn\u2019t wonder if the war were put off for ninety days.At all events, the small fry may feel easy, while the sharks of Wall street are quiescent.They will inform us of any real danger, by diving under.While they continue to bask iu thesunshiue, all these war cries are a sham.But let us keep an eye on Wall street \u2014New York Herald, Saturday.Secoua Huccts&re oh Astronomy at tile St.Patricks* Hail.The Disorganization op Congress.\u2014A New York contemporary, speaking of the present slate of Congress, says it is cowardice, not courage, which has kept the House of Representatives disorganized for seven weeks\u2014the whip of party, and not the strong convictions of duty, winch has kept the members of the House in the paihs marked out, for them by their leaders.Men professing to be freemen and lovers of their country wear submissively the yoke which their political masters imperiously impose.They are faithless to the best- interests of their constituents! and participate in bringing disgrace on republicanism, because they have not the manhood to emancipate themselves from the tyranny of King Caucus.To Capitalists.\u2014We may be doing a service to such of our readers as are looking for safe and advantageous investments in real estate in tie business part of the city, by recalling to their remembrance that the Exchange Coffee House buildings, and the premises occupied by Messrs.Ross, Neild & Co., on St.Paul Street, will be eold at the Sheriff\u2019s Office this morning at ten o\u2019clock.We understand that the property in question has always yielded a very handsome revenue.Side Walks.\u2014It appears from a report of the Boston committee on claims, instituted about two years ago, that far injuries by falls upon the sidewalks, while icy or otherwise defective, the damages paid ranged from three hundred and fifty dollars down to ten dollars.A woman who fell down a cellar door way in Pleasant street, received one hundred and fifty dollars.The case of Caroline Safford, for injuries received in consequence of a delect in Hawley street, was settled after a suit by the payment to her of the sum of fifteen hundred dollars.In all, twenty nine cases were settled.In quite a number of cases, the committee refused to award any damages, and in a few, notices of suit against the city has been given.This second lecture was delivered on Monday evening.As we intimated in our report of the previous one, it was devoted to the consideration of the Comets, Eclipses, Tides, Laws of Attraction, and the Siderial Heavens, or region of the Fixed Stars.The lecturer commenced by briefly reviewing his previous lecture and recapitulating the principal facts and principles therein elucidated.After doing this, in a brief bat lucid manner, he went on to his examination of the Cometary worlds : Comets, he said, are bodies that move iu space and, like the planets, are under the influence of the sun\u2019s attraction.They generally appear to the naked eye like stars with long streaming tails.The wonderful characteristics which mark the flight of Comets through space; the suddenness with which they blaze forth ; their exceeding velocity and their terrific appearance ; their eccentric motions as they come sweeping towards the sun from all regions and in all directions ; have rendered them objects of terror and diead in all ages and in all countries of the world While the planets pursue an undeviatino' course round the sun, iu orbits nearly circular and all in the same direction, (he Comets perform their various revolutions in orbits of everv possible eccentricity.They come up from below the plane of the ecliptic, or plunge downward towards the sun from above, aud, after sweeping round their great centre, they dart with incredible velocity away again into the regions of space.Hundreds of these bodies are in existence, and some have been named and the periods of l^ieir revolutions exactly calculated.The celebrated one called Halley\u2019s Comet, after the astronomer who first calculated its revolutions, approaches the sun once in 76 years ; its last appearance was in 1S35, Halley calculated ils revolution over 100 years ago; since which time it has twice appeared, fully verifying the astronomer's prediction The periods of revolution of the Cornels vary from years up to longer periods.It is calculated that some take three, thousand years in performing one revolution round the sun! The groat Comet of 1811 waa remarkable for its beauty and the length of its tail, which, it was calculated, was a hundred million of miles in length ; aud the tail of the Comet which appeared in 1680 was calculated to be a hundred and twelve millions of miles in lengthl The Comet of 1744 had six tails, the longest of which was estimated at eight millions of miles.In former ages the appearance of a Comet was considered the forerunner of disastrous events, such as wars, famine, pestilence, aud revolutions of kingdoms.Modern astronomy teaches us that there can he no foundation in fact for such apprehensions.ocean, upon ence The Tides, he observed, ere those regular movements of (he sea wheieby it rises and falls on its shores twice in the twenty-four houis.The Tides are known to be dependent upon fixed laws, and ate caused by the attractive powers of the sun aud moon.Wbcu the moon is at the full, the parts of the sea nearest to it are attracted towards it, and rise above the level they would otherwise preserve; on the opposite side of the earth to the moon the attraction is very small, but the centrifugal force acts with full effaei, and, in conjunction with the attraction of the sun, raises the waters on that side io a similar manner to that caused by the inouu\u2019s attraction ; this is called the sublunar 'fide.Thus the mass of waters of which the Tides are composed are abstracted from the intermediate regions, consequently there are two flows and two ebbs of the Tide all over the world every twenty-four hours.The sun, though so much larger than the moon, does not exert so much influence bn the waters of the ocean, owing to his greater distance from the earth\u2014the attractive power always dccieasing as the distance increases.-Thus the sun only raises a Tide one-third ti e height of the moon.But when the sun and the moon are iu conjunction, that is ou iho same side of the earth, the waters are i-eised to an extra height ; hence we have wfia.are calied spring tides.Again, when the moi a ii in that part ¦ f her orbit where the half of her illuminated side is turned towards the earth, we have what are called neap tides ; the sun and moon pulling in different directions counteracteach other\u2019s influence.Iu open seas the tides rise but to a small extent in proportion to what they do in wide-mouthed rivers.In channels, growing narrower gradually, the water is accumulated by the contracting banks ; consequently in some rivers the tide rises to a great height\u2019 At.the mouth of the Indus, for instance, it rises and falls thirty feet.Lakes and inland seas are!not subject to tides, every part being equally attracted Mr.Murphy tlreu briefly considered the laws by which the whole of the planetary system is governed and controlled, explaining the several laws pointed out by the celebrated astronomer, Kepler.From these he passed to the law of attraction, on which he was very brief, and then turned to the consideration of t!.e fixed stars:\u2014 All the heavenly bodies, continued the lecturer, beyond our system, ate called Fixed Htars, because, with lew exceptions, they never appear to move or change their plains with regard to each other as the planets do.The common observer may, at all times, distinguish a planet in the sky from a fixed star.The fixed stars all twinkle; the planets do not, but shine with a steady, reflected light The lited stars are supposed to ha centres of light und heal, like our own sun, to planetary system; which surround them.The number of fixed i-tars visible to the naked eye, when the sky is completely unobscured, is about one thousaud ; but when the sky is examined through a iclescope, vast numbers are bronght to view n Inch tlie naked eye canuoi discover.The tils', thing that strikes .-\t.\tuih uexf brilliant, tho second magnitude, and so ou, as fur as six magnitudes of these seen by ihe naked eye- but those seen by the telescope are reckoned as far as the sixteenth magnitude ; the number and closeness of these stars increasing with every increase of power applied to the telescope.\u2019 Some of these stars, when examined through the telescope, are found to consist, of two or more which revolve round cue another in irie-gular periods.The period of revolution of many hundreds of these star systems has been exactly calculated, and some of them have been found to extend to hundreds of years.It is frequently found that one of these double stars exceeds the other in size and brilliancy, and sometimes shines with a different coloured lio-ht.________- Seme are blue, others red, and others, again of a greenish colour.Another class ot stars makes periodical changes in their size and lustre caused apparently in consequence of alternate advancing and retiring.Astronomers have di-vided or mapped out the heavens into ninety-four Constellations, of which forty-eight were formed by the ancients.The necessity of such an arrangement is manifest; as without it, the situations of the difi\u2019erent planets would Be with difficulty described, as they are continually changing their places\u2014The fixed eiais are very irregularly scattered over i.he sky, aud their distance from us are immense.It lias been ascertained by the aid of instruments, that the nearest of them is not less than eleven million times the distance of Uranus from ihe Snu.The only means astronomers have of calculating this dis-t nces is by what is called paralaciic motion, and this is so small that though the observations are made at opposite sides of the earth\u2019s orbit u.circle cf one hundred aud ninety millions of miles m diameter, it is only with the most delicate instruments that _ any alteration can be observed; As it is quite impossible by numbers tu convey to the mind any idea of the immense distances of the fixed stars, we shall employ light as a mode of estimating the inconceivable space intervening between us and them.Light is the swifiest moving body with which we are acquainted It travels at the rate of twelve millions of miles iu a minute.It flies from the sun to the earth iu about eight minutes.But for light towinu-its way across the vast distance which separates the earth from the nearest star, it requires about ten years.A ray of light from the star Sirius requires twelve years io reach us.Others of the stars are many thousand limes more distant from us than Sirius, aud ihe light from them which reaches ns through the telescope, must have left them thousands of years ago, and travelling at the rate of a million of miles every five seconds ever since.\u2014Let us take another illustration.Suppose a cannon ball to move at 500 miles every hour without intermission, it would require fourteen millions, two hundred and fifty-five thousand years to reach the nearest of the fixed stars.Such distances are amazing, aud the mind is bewildered and confounded when attempting to form a conception of the immensity ot tho great Creator\u2019s works.The nebulæ, another set of peculiar telescopic objects, which are scattered over the heavens in great numbers, are clusters of stars so remote from us that they appear like clouds of hazy luminous patches of faiut light, when examined by telescopes of slow powers.But when examined by more powerful instruments, many ot them are found to be made up of an infinite number of distinct stars.Some of these that could not be thus resolved, were supposed to be patches of luminous matter in the course of being condensed into stars.The immense magnitudes of some of these globes, their reciprocal action on each other, the order iu which they are arranged, the regularity and harmony of their movements, are subjects well calculated to fill us with admiration and wonder at the Power that created such a vast and magnificent structure as the universe.What is the solar ayetem in all its grandeur, when compared with the starry firmament which surrounds it?It is but au atom, a mere unit, we may say, among the countless millions of shining orbs which fill the boundless regions of space.Could we but wing our flight to the regions of the fixed stars, aud while standing on the Milky Way, contemplais the magnificent scene, our souls would be ravished with the glorious panorama ! And worlds and systems\u2014 clusters and universes\u2014rising in sublime perspective before us, we would read with awe the power and majesty of the great Creator.The house was filled to overflowing, and the audience were deeply interested.The lecturer again closed the proceedings of tie evening by exhibiting his interesting astronomical diagiams.We may mention that these beautiful diagrams, employed by Mr.Murphy in these lectures, were got up by the Messrs.Cutis, opticians, Sheffield, England.ADJOURNED SPECIAL MEETING.Monday, Jan.21,1856 Present :\u2014His Worship the Mayor Valois, McCambridge, Starnes, Broosdou, Homier, Trudeau, and Whitney ;
