The Cornet whirl, was seen hare on Thursday evening, Ist
cunt., bete-rest eleven mid twelve o'clock, came to the meri-
dian a little after twelve o'clock, and being within the circle
of perpetual apperilioss, it never sets. Its longitude, ruogh-
ly estimated, alma, 3 signs 10 deg. and its latitisde 22
deg. north. Hence it is situated near the shoulder of the
Lynx, and will form the apex of au isosceles triangle, in
which the espial sides, terminating in Capella and Castor,
have ass iodination of oboist IT(1 deg. Its nucleus is trill
and has about three-fourths the diameter of Jupi-
ter. The whole breadth of the coma ur head of the Comet
is about thrice the diameter of the ',tided.. Its tail was
seen to extend fur I degrees, but irons the linnet's
being within shout 22 deg, of the sun, neither the form 4.f
the c 000 2, nor the length of the tail, could be distinctly ►eel.
We uutlerstatid that though Wednesday evening was very
serene, the Comet was nut visible. If this was the ease,
its motion from the spu must have been very tepid.--

" The Comet which has made its appearance in the North
is remarkable fur its splendour : it is saw in lire rousteila,
t* Lynx. Its nucleus is very small, but very brilliant,
and when observed through good glass, presents • form
much better terminated than those hitherto seen. It has a
tail, whose length (measured on the ad WO.) makes am arc
in the heavens of about six degrees. This tail is almost di-
rectly opposed to the Sun, and appears nearly perpeudicular
with the horizon when the Comet paean to the meridiau
gutter the Pule, which DOW takes place about midnight.
ft The preceding remarks a►e extracted from the observa-
tions already made on this plithoosemon by M. Ilinsvind.
It is, however, ascertained, that it differs from the Comet
recently discovered by M. Pons, at Marseilles, ne announced
in some Journals. Tke latter is much less opteushil, and is
now reordered totally invisible by the light of she Moon ; it
is, weureuve►, situated in anot►er past of the heavens,
towards the constellation Lieu."

" The Comet's Nortb Polar distatice when passing the

its North declination 46 deg. On Monday night, wisest

and its North declination 47 deg. nearly; so that its North
Polar distance decreases, nod its declination increases. On
Taerdoy evening it could not be sects here front the inter.

minutes past 9 o'clock, mean Base, it was 26 &I. Wes, of

two drones under the three swath &tars I the left

in the fortis of a Covet's parabolic or elliptical orbit, it is
evident that this Comet, in its approximation to Pularis,
is aJvauciug to its peribelioo; and from its slow motion
and the direction of iia path, must likely we shall see it
fur a considerable time. It is about U. degrees from the
Sun, and within 2 degrees of our grnith at noon; and,

pressing these crimes are out yet adequate to their purpose,
