 TIE LAST or THE TEA PARTY.-Last Friday we had the satisfaction of seeing and conversing with the only survivor of that daring band of patriots who offered the first open resistance to the expressions of It the British Crown. the venerable George Robert Twelven Hewes. Mir. Hewes was passing through Providence from his resi- dencez in Otsego county, N. Y.

 He was born in Massachusetts, On the 18th of September, l735, and on the 4th of July will want only sixty three days of be- ring one hundred gears old. His youngest son, the fifteenth of his children, apparently about forty years old, was with him. We have seen many men of seventy apparently as old as Mir Ifewes. His voice was was strong, his stature quite erect, and his step comparatively firm. He was eyident- Iy, even at this age, brave, high spirited, warm hearted man, whose tongue was ne- yer controlled by ceremony, and whose manners have never been moulded by the fashion of any day. His etiquette may be tea partg etiquette, but it was not acquired at tea parties in Bacon street or Broadway. The venerable Moses Brown, almost his conpeer in years, called upon him and was introduced. The contrast between ihe mild genAemanly mien of the patriarchal friend, and the rough address fihe veteran hero, was strikingly apparent. The one was an apt personilicaton of brazen fronted war, the other the dignifed representation of gentle peace.

 During the Revolutionary war, NIr. Hewes sailed out of Providence in an arm ed sloop, owned by John Brown, captured three prizes, and brought them into port. Our interview with him was so short that we had not an opportunity 10 ascertain the other achievements of his life.

 1he Pianefs Iahabited.--We cannot dis cover any reason why all the planets should be provided with atnospheres. unless 1t was .that they might all be habitable; but those planets claim our attention on another &C., count. The axis ofevery planet, as far as we can discover, is inclined to the plane of its orbit. The effect of such inclination, like that of the earth, IS change of the sea- tsons--a change that seems to be calculated to increase the fruits of the soil, for the ben- eft of man and beast. From tho proofs al- ready stated, and this additional circum- stance, we infer, without hesitation, that the planets are all inhabited.
