TIER Conrr.—Numbers of persons have during the
last few nights eagerly watched the northern heavens
for the appearance of the expected comet, which had
been prognosticated from the shores of the Southern
Pacific, whose brilliant skyline it hai irradiated some
time recently. On Saturday night this wondrous
'metronomic marvel was very distinctly visible, even
with the unassisted vision. The nucleus was remark.
ably bright, and the tail strikingly well defined.
Viewed by a powerful telescope, the head possesses a
planetary diameter of about Mem., and the nude 's
surrounded by bright matter, much more condensed
in the front part, and thrown back round the
nucleus like a veil. The tail appeared to extend
4leg. or sdeg. The sky towards morning now
presents a really magnificent spectacle, and one very
rarely to be witnessed. Low down in the sky en
Thursday morning were the moon and Jupiter. and
Venus. forming a triangle; above, a little to the right,
were Mars and Saturn. In the forefront is the comet
ltsalf which will speedily become visible all the night
terser/h.
