COMETS.-M. de BIELA, an officer of grena diers, and amateur astronomer at Prague, has observed a remarkable phenomenon in the comet, which he first observed on the 30th December of 'wit year. On the night between the 22d and .?.3d of January, the comet, besides the tail on the side opposite the sun, had another turned towards the sun. These two tails were not ex actly opposite to each other, but formed a very obtuse angle. M. de Br ELA who is certain that there was no optical illusion either in the instru ment or eye of the observer, thinks that the most probable explanation of the second tail is, that the Comet left behind it a luminous track in its passage, and that this second tail indicated the path which the Comet had first travelled. It was neither so brillant nor so long as the tail opposite the sun, and was seen only on the `ltd, 25th, and 27th of January. M. de BIELA, also conceives that he has observed an inauence, exerted by the proximity of Comets on the lu• minous state of the sun, and has traced the in crease of spots on its surface, as Comets have ap proached this luminary.—(New Monthly Mag.) POTATOES SUBSTITUTED FOIT SOAP: M. CADET DE VA UX proposes to wash linen by means of potatoes, only three parts boiled in water, in stead of soap. The following is an experiment on this subject, made by M. 11 ERICORT DE Tunny, the report of which, signed by him, has been published. The linen experimented upon, consisted of the clothes of adults and children, sheets, coverlids, table-linen, towels, brewer's aprons, hospital linen, &c. The whole was first thrown into a tub to soak in water for about half an hour; it was next placed in a copper of hot water, from which the pieces were taken separately, to be thoroughly rubbed with the prepared potatoes, as is usual with soap ; thus prepared, and after having been well rubbed, rolled and wrung, it was a second time put into the copper with a quantity of the prepared pota toes, and after boiling for half an hour, was taken out, turned, thoroughly rubbed, wrung, and again thrown in for some minutes ; it was well rinsed twice in a large quantity of water, was put into cold water for half an hour, afterwards into a press to drain, and then hung up to dry. The whole time employed was about two hours and a half; the linen was perfectly clean, free from all grease, and looked very white. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCU.

A numerous meetingof l thaeis,rav inhabitants Kennington, ts or this parish took place yesterday, at tie . Hrn in consequence of handbills, signed by three of the Ov erseers , inviting the parishioners to assemble, for the purpose of ex pressing their assent or dissent to the settlement of a bill of MK, claimed by Mr. Thomas Evans, of Kennington-cross, for law expences ; the money for which, the handbills stated, he had obtained upon an ante-dated dishonoured check. Soon after ten o'clock, Mr. FALL, one of the Overseers, was requested to take the Chair; which he declined, first, because the parishioners had not yet had sufficient time to assemble; and afterwards, because he should have to lay a statement be. fore the meeting, which he could not regularly do if he were Chairmar. Mr. Powts, another Overseer, was then appointed to take the Chair, which he did; and after reading from We handbill the purpose for which they were assembled, he requested that every gentleman should have a patient hearing, and abstain from personalities.—(Bear !) Mr. MARTIN Jorms took a preliminary objection. It was at the annual vestry meeting for auditing the accounts that this subject ought to be discussed ; anti not a parish meeting like this, got together for party purposes, by means of an inflamma tory, scandalous, and base handbill. There was a board of Overseers, and a select vestry, to canvas the parish accounts. The parish had nothing to do with this subject.—( Laughter, and a reply of " Nothing, only to pay the money." . ) -Nothing at present, he meant. It was quite false that this bill had been paid illegally : it was paid according to the laws of the perish. He deprecated these party meetings, as tending only to inter rupt the harmony of - the parish. H e was himself attached to no party; hut for the reasons he had stated, he would move that this meeting do now adjourn. Mr. BAILEY secoaded this motion. Mr. M'l4o - eu LEI.; said that this meeting was convened be cause the officers had refused to call a vestry meeting upon the subject. Mr. ROPHY said that a mass of falsehoods had been sanction ed by Mr. Fall, who knew that they were not true. Mr. FALL said he knew that what was stated respecting this bill was perfectly correct. Ile opposed the adjournment. Captain 'rum= contended It had been regularly decid ed that the bill should be paid.' At all events, there would be nit opportunity of objecting to the accounts in vestry. PRICE SEvENPritCet. As to the select vestry, he thought it *44 4 curse to the jeariski —Mead) The question of adj•eurnment - was then pun and negatived.

(Hear, and laughtte.) e -The NiforthY Gentlemen' wits -mtniaintheinanuer in which the audits were conducted, bug he wits, interrupted by cries of " order," and " to the, point." lie then .referred to Air. Evan's bill. It commenced in July, 'lBl7. Now the Overseers hieing mede Select Vestrym en , a ll Th ese who been ;in office wince 1137 were, personally re.: sponsible for payment of this bill, sineo- they had neglected to Settle it befdre they went out otoffice ; consequently they were anxious to.have it paid. All he (Mr. Fall) asked, was to have the consent of tl:p whole parish, iu full vestry, to its being paid. ,At a select vestry at which he attended, Mr. Burgess, the ,churchwarden, agreed with him that the subject should be dis cussed at a public meeting of the parish, and wished him to put 'in a requisition, which he did ; but Plr. Barges's, in the mean time, wrote to the, other churchwardens, and the consequence was, that on a Meeting of the Churchwardens, the requisition -was not coMpliati with. It was dated 27th September, and the Answer of the Churchwardens was dated Bth October.—[Here there was a call to read the names, accompanied with great cone 'fusion.l—Mr. Fall read the names,- and also the answer to the requisition, which stated there was no duceseity for calling the Meeting, us the parishioners might appeal against the ace counts if they thought proper. Ile then proceeded to state, that-at w Meetnig of the Select Vestry, the bill—the celebrated bill of Mr. Evans—was determined to be paid ; but only two or the overseers would sign the check; the thirst wrote a protest across it, in consequence of which the bankers refused to pey it.; The names of three overseers were neeeeeary to sanction the check ; anti because they could not obtain three overseers, they endeavoured to make up the weight by getting a Church Warden to sign it.—( Laughter.)— The Churchwarden's name was in. sorted at full length, and the check sent in great haste to Mr. Evans, telling him to hurry to the hankers, or he would lose the money, as a protest might be sent to stop payment. Mr. Evans was at dinner when it arrived; and as Louis XVI. lost his head, so Mr. Evans lost his bill, by stopping to finish his dinner (great laughter) ; for be (1(r. tall) wrote to Mr. Sikes, the banker ' to say that three overseers were neces sary to sign the bills Accordingly, it was refused payment.:— However, upon Mr. King's return form Ireland, he was induce ed to sign the old check some days afterwards, and it was then paid. Its amount was 7271., for which Mr. Evans, in his re ceipt, promised them an indemnity against the consequences. Since then Mr.. Evans had surprised them with another bill of 2001., which they, rut down to 150/. Mr. Fall then referred to Sir Samuel Shepherd's opinion in 11113, stating that the officers for the time being could not, without the consent of the Whole parish, pay a bill contracted in the time of their predecessors, who were not allowed to go gut ofoilice with accounti unset tled. The present Overseers were, therefore justified in ap pealing to the parish before they paid this. • therefore, Evans himself' was a member of the Select Vestry, and yet his bill contained regular charges . for attentlence on the gentlemen in committee as he celled them. One gentleman told him that he hsd shewn the bill to Mr. Schultz, who pronounced the charges to be ex tremely reasonable; but Mr. Schultz denied having ever seen it. Another gentleman, Mr. Rophy, told him that Mr. Evans's name smelt so ofrensive in the Select Vestry, that whoever mentioned it was lined a bottle of wine. • Mr. Roods, who had repeatedly interrupted Mr. Fall with the expressions, " 'Tis false," " All lies," &es, here' said, " "ris another lie." Mr. FALL continued. The gentleman (Mr. Rophy) oppo site reminded hint of the poor African w lei was before the Lord Mayor some time ago, foal replied " You lie" to every thing that was said; the reason was, he was master of no note Engheh..-- ((heat laughter and Cheers.)—Notwithstunding what Mr. Ito phy then told hint; he afterwards put his name to the check. Only one gentleman at the table knew at the time that it Was . for more than ,4001. Ile concluded by moving th a t the ae counte of the Overseers be appealed from with respect to Mr. Evan's Bill. When Mr. Fall had sat down, some discussion took place as to whether Mr. Evans had regularly taken out his certificate during part of the period referred to in the Bill. This point, however, was not insisted upon. Mr. SewtJLTz complimented Mr. Full on the manner in which he discharad his.. duty to the parish on this and every other occasion. lie then analyzed the 11111, and :anted that in many of the instances where 6s. Ltd. was charged for an attend ance, one of the parish beadles WOnitl Nye answered the pure pose as well. In short, us he understood that Air. Evans was about to resign, he would himself ofl'er to undertake the parish business at a Solar' of 1001. per. annum. - Mr. Evaies, jun. said his father had already resigned. on the principles of honesty.s-( Hear and Wlaugh.)—The great Mr. M. &went said, hewislied this bill to be d 4 ettssed up charge brought against Mr. Evans was, that he had not deli relied it at an eaher period. Now the charges in it having been pronounced by professional men .to be moderate, and the offi cers having received funds to Meet it from their predecessors, was it just to decline paying it, any, more than a butcher's•bill which was a year memo without being delivered, although the meat had beim finet'shed at a moderate: price ? Some years ago the officers refused to pay another bill, which they were obliged to pay ultimately, after setting the parish in a flame. Ile moved, as an amendment : that this meeting do now adjourn. Mr. llbrit e said, that all the charges in the bill, except 1701. accrued since Lady.alay, 1820. They were most moderate ; and Mr. Evans wits now willing, although he had the money in his pocket, to submit the bill to taxation. Ile denied that he had ever charged for his attendance on the select vestry ; and he was ready, it' doing so in a single iestance, to forfeit the whole 8001. The parish ought not to refuse to pay their just debts. Captain Tu omit said, that if the parishionees would attend their vestry-meetinge, they would not have these unpleasant eircunieninees occurring. • Mr. ilAnzwooD defended the select vestry from the charge of feasting ut the expense of the parish t and said he was nue thorized by Mr. Evans to tender his b ill, even pow, for tax . a. tion. AVhen be did so before , the taxation was declined firs fear the o ffi cer would allow higher char g es. Ile supported the a mendment. After some further confusion and discuseion, fhe amendment. was negatived, and the motion for en appeal against the ac counts carried almost unanimously. tent this season, in Kent and Sussex, that th of apples fins failed to suc h an ex mil'irtithie,t c p r r o i l t:e already higher than last year. averages ninety per vela. SMUGGLING EXTRAORDINARY.— A bollt five o'clock on Tuesday evening, four Revenue Officers entered the Fleet prison,. for the purpose of searching for contraband goods, that in this prison there are neady a score o for smuggling; and the officers got ''in formationaantedifienlleow who bad previously followed the same ltt kind of ni d i t :: :ra , bl° l i men and who d who had been imprisoned for a similar offence, that two or three of the imprisoned smugglers carried on n good trade in the Fleet by their old practices, in stlling to great advantage various a rticles of contraband and pro hibited goods. When the officers arrived at the prison, they at first proceeded to a room which turned out not to be that which belonged to the person suspected ; they then returned to the gate, and attended by Mr. Brown, the warden, went to the room of SAMIlfi Prescott, which they originally wished to enter.— There they found Prescott, a well known smuggler, who had lost his hand while engaged in that dangerous trade, and know ing the determined character of th e p erson w i t h w h o m the had had to deal, the officers being armed with pistols; one was pro bated 'to each ear of the prisoner, wi t h a t h reat t h at if they met With any resistance in the performance of their duty they would fire. Mr. Brown also repented the same, and Prescott or- course ill 'ltuntlysubmitted, .let his room were found two trunks, contain ing, in addition to his wearing apparel, Bandana bandicercbiels, and French dresses, to the amount of nearly 200/., wbich'were instantly carried away by the officer* TIIF.

As we had not yet prepared our flie_ ships, we ordered only la vessels of Hydra and Sperria, which had just arrived, with an Hydriot fire-ship, and a vessel of Captain Canaris, which had also just atri•ed to oppose them. The combat was obstinate on both sides, and the tactics of our Hydriots and Speaziots were displayed its a moat brilliant man ner. Our fire-ships, accompanied by our vessels, sailed against the ships of the enemy, and threw them into complete disorder, obliging them to retire with disgrace, much farther than in their two former attempts. You may easily conceive with whit courage this happy re sult inspired our men, and on the contrary how discouraging it was for the enemy, and principally for those troops which had been collected on the mountains of Asia Minor, and were now witnesses to the defeat of their fleet. But a inure signal victory awaited the Greek fleet ! This. morning we saw the enemy making an approach towards us ' with the wind in his favour. We immediately ordered all oor fire-ships to set sail, accompanied by different ships of war.— About 10 A.M. the fire-ship commanded by Captain Deme trius Zapli approached a frigate of the first rank off Cape - St. Maria, and grappled her. There was a slight breeze, and the frigate helped in some manner by it and towed by four galleys, escaped the danger which threatened her, and our tire_ ship did not -succecbti, but it afforded an opportunity to the brave Captain Canaris to go against the same frigate in the tire-ships which ha himself commanded, and he succeeded, to wards eleven o'clock A.at. in grappling her whilst in full sail. In a short time she was all In flames, and the tire hay ing penetrated to the powder magazine, soon blew her up, and the sparks and pieces or wood, which flew on all sides, not only destroyed all who were on board, to the number of 600, but several on the neighbouring coasts, and burned nearly 20 transports, which were in readiness to transport the troops to Samos. Towards ten °eclair, Captain George Batiquiottis went -Against s...htig of.:rtinis with .his Urs.ship, and suceettled in burning it; and, at 11 o'clock, Captain Demetrius Rafalias went against a corvette of Tripoli with hii fire.ship, and at the same time another fire.ship went against the same corvetp, so that in a short time it was all in flames. Captain Ittonposi went also against a frigate with his tire.ship ; he grappled her well; but the wind and the galleys which towed her assisted her in escaping the danger, and consequently the tire-ship was lost. If Captain Homposi had not attacked the frigate, he would without doubt have burned a brig, , which was nearer, and which would have been an entry prey. His courage was un exampled. 11y duty obliges ma to recommend to your benevolence all the captains and seamen of our fire-ships, since all, with out exception, displayed most astonishing energy and bravery, exposing themselves to the 'teary fire of the enemy's vessels, and succeeding in destroying them whilst in full sail and open day-light. You can easily imagine what terror must have taken posses sion of the enemy, and of Topal Paella himself, to whose eyes the conflagration and destruction were doubtless 'no pleasant sight, and his courage was not so great as to induce him to assist them. We hope, therefore, that the plans of the enemy against Samos have failed, since, when he had lost nearly 3,000 men in the vessels which were burned, we saw that the troops which were on the continent had taken to flight; and we are fully persuaded that none of those who witnessed this engagement would dare to embark. During these two daye—daya which will be for ever memorable in our naval history—a French schooner was present, which, we trust, will relate all that oc curred. We should have wished that other Europeans had also been present at that time, but not on board the Turkish ves sels, like those whom we saw WI into the sea from the vessels which we destroyed —a worthy recompense for their praise. worthy sentiments and their Christian feelings ! May all those who seek to injure our unfortunate country experience a similar fate I We have burnt all our gre-ships : we therefore request you to send us others without delay ; we are also in want of powder, which we beg may be sent imined:ately. Worthy fellow-citizens 1---We have several times experienced that our fire-ships are our beat weapons, and by their, means we hope to effect still more signal triumphs during this campaign. Our seamen are inspired with the greatest energy, and possess considerable abilities ; every one of,them is at present a lion ; whilst, on the contrary, our enemies are filled with fear and dis couragement. We only lost two men on board of Captain Canaris vessel, and oneon board of Captain Romposis. Capt. Demetrius Zapli was burned in thelace, but he will be easily cured. The rest of the Turkish fleet is become a prey to terror, and we hope that this night will witness its flight. There arrived here yesterday nine vessels front Spezzia and one from Ipsara, and there are just arrived three more from Spezzia, and four froM litsara. We have just been honoured with your esteemed dispatches of the 30th ult., in which you order us to send seven vessels to Cape Coloni,.and to leave here eighteen others. We shall exe cute your commands, but we take the liberty most respectfully to suggest to you, that it seems advisable to assemble here .AN many vessels as possible, and all the fire ships, to attack and entirely destroy the fleet of Constantinople. —DOW that fear has seized it ; and afterwards we will proceed with all the vessels to encounter the .}:gyptian fleet. 1' have the honour to be, Your most obedient anti respectful servant, (Signed) OBORGE SACTOURI, Vice.

The eruption of the mud volcano-of Terrapi. tats, in Sicily, which occurred in *March, 1W2.3, was witnessed by D. Oregnrio Uarnaba La Via, who has described it in a geological account of the neighbourhood of Caltli4setta. This volcano, not very -Afferent in gazious emanation from the:. fainousitlacatubba of Gir genti, and always iii action , ittr. a temperatufe of about 100 deg. Fali. formytworn its erupted matter, numerous small coneS, ; trotn the centre of which flow saline water, mud, tnid hydrogen gas. The surrounding laml 'Presepts'llollllce cilf-Vege• tation, from whence it takes its pante.. On the sth of May, 1823, whilst. the tiorth wind blew in strong gusts, the sky being serene,, a'few den* clouds, in long pointed'stria, Appeal:od in the' west, the temperature was 53 deg. Fah. when five shocks of an earthquake succeeded each other in nine seconds; the first front beloW upwards, the others' undulating. The author re paired, to the volcano of Terrapitata with several 'persons. On reaching it, it was found that the whole elevation was divided by many splits from ten to one foot and a half wide: that the small volcanos were greatly increased ; and that instead of ejecting water, clay,and hydrogen gas, as usual, some were throwing mud to the distance of some feet, with the emission of gas; others. only blew out hydrogen gas ; and others, again, leaving.a space of a foot in diameter, and five feet deep, vibrated from that depth with the force of the eruption. Having applied a torch to one of those whist ling cones, there arose immediately a blue flume, five feet in height, which would have remained for a long time, had not the wind, which was powerful, extinguished it. The crack was then noticed which had been fist pointed out ; it joined with the greater number of the small vol. canoes, being about one and half feet in width, intersected the valley of Icoputore, and the bor der of the mountain of St. Anna, being there about four inches wide ; cutting the quarter of Piedigrottu, it ascended to the church of St. Flavin, about fifteen lines in width, and traversing the Delia Gratin, terminated insensibly in the neighbourhood of the church of St. Petrunillo. After live days of violent actions, during three was no abaterneq, the eruption began gradually to diminish, and ultimately returned to its usual state.
