Newspaper Page Textby tlmllime tli ceuiet will Uidly liava btgun lb process of refrigeration. Jul to lU ihtorjr of tho nature of theia bodiea. Comets are sa!d to Is vut masses of pur albarral mltcr, ao light and filmy that nothing oo lliia earth oan b compared to them. U haa bran calculated that if a comet were condensed into the thickneia of the earth's almosj.hare, It would not occu py more than one to three eubio inches. Their apparent uuclvua or body ia alto gether filmy; fur through the very heart of a enmrt of considerable brightness stare of the aixteenih magnitude have been de scried. Thus it will appear that our rolling orb might 'plunge through the very center of a comet Mith incomparably leia danger Ihnn attend the pewn of a atamhip through a bunk of inirt on the ocean'a highway. The tall ' of cmnMa are aa '"misty" aa lha bodies to which they be long, 10 fur hi the observations of scientific men are touceruod J and it it reully diffi cult to arrive at any permanent conclusion in relation to thrni, oil account of their va riable nature and lha continual shifting to which they aw exposed, being nlwnyaoppo I'ltoto the poaiiion of the urn, in a rictili-Dfar-loiigiludiiml direction ; and hence it may bo inferred that the no called tails are nothing mora lluiu the refruction of llie tun'a ray through the hollow of the comet, always auppniug, however, that comets are holluw. Some at ronomt-rs have con jrc'it'cd lluit lli" tniU consisted of particle of mutter driven fiom their nucluti by the action of il i.i miii' rays, or by the resist aiibo of an ether or other tuWlante through which cnmut move. -' Oliver Wendell Holmes, in his poem on the comet, wind up with the following atrikingly-de-idipiive linei , i I " Ten million eubio miles of head, Two billion league of luil ! " Mr. Holmes may bi right in hit estimate of the "ten million cubic milu;' of head," but lbs "two billion Iriiguus of luil" must bo attributed to n 'po,,t, license,' or to a rather elongated si retch of his plastic imagina tion, fur he u uuiiifvsily lit fdult in llii cal culation, as i lie tail of til" magnificent comet whieli appeared in 1343, jul pre. ceding the iMilieriti eud of the world, was computed by tho very leiinied astronomers, aflei the must paliuut, searching, and labo rious investigations, to bp onfy fort y tlireo milliomi of miles long and no comet is known to have exceeded that length in its train. Now as to tho wonder-scattering comet which is expected " In a few day -ays in a few Joys," it may be said tlmt it is supposed to be the celebrated one of 1350 the snmo which caused the fantastic capers of Charles V., and its return has been predicted between 1830 and 18C0, but about 1639. The truth of the matter Is, the exact time of the return of a comet to our system cannot be calculated with any precision, owing to the attraction of different bodiea on iia way, necessarily retarding its velocity, and which attraction and retardation are entirely gov erned by tho motions, positions, and differ cut degrees of density of those collaterally attracting bodies. Just as the return of the steamers on the upper Willamette to Ca nemah can not bo foretold with the least cortainty their motions being regulated aolely by tho attractive and repulsive forces at tho different places alunu the route. It is hoped tlmt what is here said will put a quietus on the fears uf those who are ap prehensive of some dreadful catastrophe next Saturday. '' Wo may pass through the very body of a comet, aud be unconscious of its presence, and five seconds would not elapso before we would be wholly clear of it that is, upon tho theory endeavored to be elucidated above. In Probato Court, Tone Term, 1857. Order for Appearance. WW. CHAPMAN, administrator of the estate of James I.. Loring, lute of Clack amas county, O.
