NAVAL BRIGADE.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Smi, —From the tenor of Nemo's letter I should imagine him to be in a slight fidget about this new " Naval Brigade."

' It strikes me rather forcibly that if ho does nob actually command one of the present so called Naval Companies, he holds a commiss sion of some kind in them, the tenure of which he fears will be of rather short duration should the present real Naval Brigade, under real live naval officers, be what it doubtless will be, viz., a complete success. Now if " Nemo" or any other naval landsman fears such an issue my advice is, " that instead of showing useless spleen and unavailing jealousy, let all land seamen muster without further delay and march into the ranks of the Rifle Brigade, where they may possibly be of some use." By pursuing this course they will at onco show good sense and secure the commissions of the officers. Let them leave saltwater and genuine shellbacks who have shaken hands with old Neptune in many a clime and after many a storm, for our would be salts must know that the rough old sea-god own 3 only such men as his children. I am, &c, Hippocampus.

SCIENTIFIC PHENOMENA.

__________________________ B-

A very remarkable discovery made by Professor Huggins, the celebrated astronmer of England, reveals the fact tbat tbe atmosphere of tbe distant planet Herscbel, is composed entirely of Hydrogen (gas). This wonderful announcement, so contrary to all the theories held by scientific men respect ing the condition of those distant planetary orbs, will overturn many of the books and writers who have pro duced volumes on the constitution of the universe, etc. From the nature of the case, the inhabitants of that far-off world, if there are any, must live without fire, as any one spark of combustion would burn everything and explode the whole concern. Truly, science is bringing matters to light, which throw all ancient wonders in the shade, and we are fortunate in living in such a progressive age.

The San Francisco News Letter says that the British flag was lowered from the citadel of Quebec on tbe Bth of November, and the " Gibraltar of America " is handed over to the care of the Dominion of Canada.
