NEW COMET.

Gosport Ob,ervatory, Oct. 14, 1825.
Last night the Comet was again seen here, in the constellation
Olicine., &alp!aria. It was on the meridian about a quarter past
eleven o'clock, six degrees above the horizon, and 150 degrees from
the sun, when its right ascension was ino, and declination 33" 30.
South. It has moved through a space of nineteen degrees since the
night of the 7th inst., equal to 3' 10. a-day. It was not sn bright
as in the night of the 7th, nor was its luminous train so long by
four degrees, arising, perhaps, front the effect of a thick haze in
that part of the )(orison. From the direct south-west motion, and
the present position of this Cornet, in comparison of former obser-
vations made on it, we have no hesitation inxtaying, it is the same
that has been so erroneously described in several of the London
newspapers, and taken for different Comets ; for it would be an
uncommon phenomena to see several Comets in the same hemis-
Phere. The mistakes, however, no doubt, arose front the
ty of its motion.
Since the 19th of last July (a day that will be long remembered
Rem the circumstance of oppressive heat) when this Comet was
said, by M. Biela (see Phil. Adak. avid Jour. for August) to have
been two or three degrees above the right car of the constellation
Taurus, it has passed through a space in the heavens of 18 de-
grees, but its motion has been extremely irregular, varying at in-
tervals from a half to upwards of three degrees a-day. Its South
declination is now so great, and its motion an very quick, that it
will not be seen in thisslasitutle after the lGth lost.; but to the
inhabitants of Southern latitudes,- this celestial visitor will be
an object of admiration; as it is evidently descending nearer to
the earth.
CONJUNCTION OF TIIE PLANETS MARS AND JUPITER.—
At five o'clock in the morning of the 12th inst. Mars and Jupiter
were in conjunction, iz. within half a degree of each other. By
the side of Jupiter, Alan did not appear larger than a star of the
first magnitude. In the following night, when Mars passed the
northern side or Jupiter, they were some minutes closer together.—

A public dinner was given at Waterford, on Monday
last, by the Mayor and Corporation, to' the Marquis of
Waterford and Lord George Thomas Deresford. 'the
Noble Marquis addressed the company, after each of the
touts that regarded himself, or his family, and particularly
when his own health was first toasted. Although the
general policy of his family was frequently at varience with
the political expectations of the Roman Catholics, yet he
freely acknowledged the general and abstract justice of their
claims, and, whenever these claims could be admitted with
perfect safety, he would not be behind in the cause of
liberality.

COM DILATION I>l EiAsxst.tv.—The state of the trade
in this town is worthy of remark. The weavers, soon after
the passing of the Combination Bill, formed an Union, a
committee of which regulated all their movements. For
more than the last four months, they have been urging an
advance of wages; but as the masters are divided in opi-
nion upon its expediency—some being favourable and
othets adverse—the weavers are trying the experiment of
shelving themselves by piecemeal. One of the principal
manufacturers, who was the first singled out, having at
length yielded to some compromise, they have now declared
against another, hut what will be the result cannot yet be
ascertained. Be it what it may, however, it is some sa-
tisfactien to reflect, that the trade of the town still goes on,
without any one (excepting the party against whom the
opposition is directed) being at all sensible that so formi-
dable a phalanx Exists, whose whole force is levelled against
a single house.—Doncaster Gazette.

On Wednesday night, about twelve o'clock, a Lieutenant
of Hussars, stationed at Beverley, together with two other
officers from Hull, commenced a general attack upon win-
dows, lamp., &e. in th" streets of Beverley, which they
continued till attacked by the watch and constables, with
whom they kept up a running fight for an hour. At length,
however, the men of war were completely vanquished by
the men of peace, and lodged in the gaol till the following
day. They were then taken before the Mayor, and bound
to appear at the Sessions. The Lieutenant was bound,
about a month ago, in a recognizance, to answer a similar
complaint preferred by the landlord of the
.B:verley Arms.
