A URORA BOREALIS.—On IVlonday evening, soon
p. in., our attention was attracted by an unusual lumi
after 5
nous appearance in the north and north-western (true) part of
the horizon. At half-past 5 the corruscations of the aurora
borealis were brilliantly distinct, and presented that ever-
changing variety in their radiations which so peculiarly dis-
tinguishes this most interesting phenomenon. About hpif,_
past
six the corruscations themselves ceased; but at seven, and for
-
some time after, that part of the horizon was again illuminated
U
by the same silvery brightness, but nattended, at least as far
as we could observes by those 1
t .engtnened rays of light which
had been before g 6 conspicuous. We do not recollect that we
have ever witnessed a more brilliant display in this latitude,
At a quarter-past six, we distinctly traced one corruscation,
shooting its rays from the northern horizon between and a
of the constellation Ursa Major, and, leaving the l'ole Star to
the west, penetrate as far as cassiopeia, which at that hour was
pearly at the zenith. The extent of the whole was grand. On
the north-east we did not perceive any corruscations be-
yond Dubhe in Ursa Major, but to the west the y were bright
i
and vivid for a considerable extent, during up even
E and ? in the tail of Avila (then at an altitude of as far as
about 30
4ef,,,,,w8), thus illuminating apparently the whole space upon
the horizon, included between Ilh. and 18h. or lob. right as
tension. The usual electrical appearances were beautifully
visible, such as the shooting of the stars, 8:c. To the east
all his majesty ; Jupiter was high in the
Orion was rising ill
heavea, between the Pleiades and Aldebaran, in beauteous
n
oplendour; his four moons to be plaint seen with the aid of
wlulst Mars, in fiery redness, held a
a common telescope ;
