ments deliberately entered into with the sanction of
parliament, AMR was in the intend both of the

should be pat no sod to, and they were of opinion that the
arguable of the bill, subject to the consideration of certain
moditioes and denies, was proved ; though, under the air-
mnsthooss, and considering the period of the comics,

fairly distaaesd by the yeblle le the discovery of the new cos-
which, unlike its predeemors, has not received the
hosolesbisiM having Its advent duly heralded, and its gradual ass-
chronicled day by lay in scientific Journals. We leave
those who believe In the old science of astrology to connect the
appearance of this comet with great national and political
changes
(for, time out of mind, cornets have been held to exercise
considerable Influence In these mattersand would merely my
that the various letters respecting it In the public Journals show
that the masses of the population are as ready to note and re-
port astronomical novelties as even the keepers of royal observe-
Wries. This is undoubtedly chiefly due to the improvements in
scientific budrements of late years, and the low prices at which
they ace sold. In watches, pardoulsrty, prices are considerably
reduced, especially at such large establishments as Yr. Benson's.
