The persons residing in the house were alarmed at the time from hearing frightful cries. Madame Blitichard fell afterwArds from the toot into the street and it is thought that this latter fall was the cattle of her death: On being raised from the ground she groaned once or twice. A shred,of the balloon was yet connkcted with the car. The unfortunate victim was immediately taken in a chair to Ti voli, whensseveral physicians exerted themsefres for her re covery, 'tilt :without effect. She had experienced no injury ,•from the flames, and her clothes had not been even scorched. Her hat and one of her shoes were found on the morning after on the roof of the house. • According to different reports, Madame Blanchard, who was remarkable for courage, •hai.l :been much agitated by se rural unfavourable presentiments of danger. At the moment of ascent abs said to one of the bye-standers, " I don't know why, but I have not been easy all day." The body has been carried from Tivoli to the Rue Cassette, where' she had resided. Among her papers, a will ha's been found, in which she appoints as her legatee the daughter of one of her friends aged sight years. This .ascent, which has been 'attended with such direful consequences, was her 67th.

Tut Cofer.—Although so many accounts have been given of its sire, substance, the pace it tra vels at, where it' came from, where it is going to, and when it will return, we have seen no advice how we May most distinctly distinguish the shipe and features of this eccentric visitor ; and " vulgar error seems to have obtained that a can nons opera glass will :Ilford the eye as much assist ance es the finest telescope." This mistake has arisen from telescopes not being properly fitted up with a sufficient variety of magnifying powers ; for although Cornets are generally enveloped in a veil of dense atmosphere, which de-fiet the opere tion of magnifying power, yet we may avail our selves of the illuminating power of a large glass with much advantage, and, with a proper Coma: eye- PIECE, the larger the teleScope the more easily arid distinctly we discern the nucleus, &c.-- " I have an eye-piece, made at Mr. Banos's, Opti • elan, Piccadilly, which sliews Comets very tatis- , factorily—it magnifies just enough to allow the field of view to be sufficiently large to exhibit the Comet and the paraphernalia of light by which it is accompanied. It is also a deli& ful eye-piece for viewing Nebula—the milky way, &c., and will. serve for all the purposes of a night glass." See Kitchiner's practical Observations on Telescopes. 12mo. 1818. page 154.—The large night glasses, and DOLLOND'S night and day glasses, and the largest size achromatic opera glasses, are very good for the sante purpose. The Comet becomes fainter every evening, and after the present week, we shall probably lose sight of it. W. K. THE NIAItiiETS.

PHY.SIOLOGY.---P,of,fssor MALACItAOWiE, of Pa a who has long employed hiniscit on the com parative anatomy of the brain, has fount( the corpus callaram and pineal gland in seve ral birds. One discrery of importance he has made : this relates to the squeture of the brain, and its influence on the inte►lectual (a cuities. The lamina', of the brain he has observ ed to vary in number from 600 to 7SO ; but in the brain of an Went he discovered only 324, and in alit of a dumb person 362. Ilene,. he infers, that the strength of the intelleveai taculties is in proportion to the number of larnine ;he brain. Mr. C. Bonnet,of Geneva, who correspond ed with the Professor on this sulje,:r, the premises, denies the conclusion ; and sup poses, that the number of lamina i❑ the brain is increased by the exercise of the intellatual fa culties.
