THE COMET.

Mr. J. R. Hind, in a letter dated Mr. Bishop's
Observatory, Regent's-park, Sept. 10, says
availed myself this morning of the first opportunitY
that has offered for several days past of viewing the
comet in the N.E., shortly before daybreak, when
the sky in London is usually very much clearer
than for some hours after sunset. About 4 o'clock
a.m. its appearance was fine in the extreme. T°
the naked eye the nuclens far exceeded in bright'
ness any of the stars in Ursu Major, and, indeed"
was little inferior to Procyon, the bright star
Canis Minor. The tail would be traced 7 deg.'. or 8
deg. With Mr. Bishop's large refracting teleseqe
it was a grand object, and when attentively
examined was found to present several of those
singular irregularities of form which have bee.,4
previously remarked in great comets, particularild
in those of 1680, 1744, and 1835 (Halley s) 411
are doubtless to be attributed to the action of the
sun upon the matter of the nucleus when the coast
like Jet
is near its perihelion. The luminous gas-
thrown out therefrom, which was indistinctly Per-
ceptible on the 13th, was steadily visible thisnlol:l
ing ; it appeared to form the origin of a second. tai
interior to the main one, and which could be trams
about half a degree from the nucleus. The .ail
itself was sensibly curved, the convexity being;
as usual, on the preceding side. The ray of lige;
thrown off the nucleus in the direction Of
sun, to which I before alluded, was tolerablye
distinct. As viewed with the naked eye th,,
tail exhibited coruscations (of course due to 0211
spheric circumstances) which at moments apPearei
to lengthen it considerably. High magnifiers caul,.
not be used so advantageously as on the 13th. f
Calculations founded upon the observations
the past week show that the comet will continue
visible in the evening to the naked eye in this coun-
try until the middle of October, though it will aisi
appear from the morning sky at the beginning °
that month. Its brilliancy will be nightly on the
increase until October the 9th, or thereabouts, when
the maxims in will be attained. Judging from it'S
present appearance there can be little doubt that
f
this comet will shortly rival the celebrated one
1811. On the sth and 6th of October it will be
situate near the bright star Arcturus, and will pro-
bably bear comparison with it on the score of bril-
liancy.
In a few days I shall be able to furnish positions
which I hope will render daylight observations
easy to the numerous amateurs in this country wh°
are provided with powerful equatoreally-mounted
telescopes. Meanwhile, I would suggest to th°4e
who desire to see the comet to advantage, to be eu
the look-out between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morn-
ing during the next few days, before the In°oll
approaches it.
On the 20th of September the comet will rise
1 10 a.m., and set at 10 30 p.m. ; on the 24tb 11;
will rise at 1 40 a.m., and set at 10 20 p.m. ; an
,d °,lt
the 28th it will appear above the horizon a""
2 30 a.m., and set at 10 p.m.

TO TWE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—An article in your paper of yesterday,
copied probably from the Daily News, states that
the Prince Alfred steamship, whicktleft Milford
Haven for Australia on the 13th instant, was de-
tained at Milford, after having started from the
railway terminus at Neyland, by some Custom-
house difficulty, which proved the necessity for
removing the Custom-house from Milford. Who-
ever furnished the information for that article must
have known nothing of the facts, for I was one of ,
the visitors on board the ship, entertained by her
hospitable owners, Messrs. Pearson and Co., and
can vouch for the fact that the vessel only stopped
a few minutes in the roadstead off Milford, on her
way down the Haven, for the purpose of landing
the owners and those of their visitors who had re-
mained on board to that point ; and as I was
amongst them, I can also 'state that I saw the
vessel continue her course,' after we left her, to the
mouth of the Haven, six or seven miles past Mil-
ford.
Perhaps :the key to the story may be found
in the fact, that a party at Neyland is trying
to obtain the removal of the Custom-house from
Milford to that part of the Haven.

into matters of moment by misapprehension of facts.
We are glad to learn that the gallant colonel of the
regiment conies out of the inquiry, in a manner
which must be most gratifying to all his friends."
The Erening Mail observes—" The late misunder-
standing in the Scots Greys has, we are happy to
learn, terminated in the manner in which we pre-
dicted it would—namely, on the matter at issue
being referred to the highest military authority in
the kingdom, it was summarily dismissed by his
Royal Highness. We need hardly say that there
has never been but one opinion as to the absurdity
of the statements which have found their way into
the press and public ear."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In The Sun of Thursday, the 16th, there
is a brief paragraph announcing the departure of
the Prince Alfred from Neyland Pier, Milford
Haven, on the previous Monday, with passengers
for Australia and New Zealand. Short as that
paragraph is, it contains two inaccuracies ; one of
which, and the most serious, you will permit me to
correct. Your correspondent states that the Prince
Alfred left Neyland at 3.45, but " she only went so
far as Milford, where, on account of some certain
custom-house routine, she was detained until the
following day ; another proof of the inconvenience
to the trade and commerce of Pembroke Dock from
the want of a custom-house at that place." The
advantages of having a custom-house at Pembroke
Dock would be undoubted ; the necessity of retain-
ing the one at. Milford is indisputable.
The issue raised here by your corespondent,
however, it is not now desirable to discuss ; but
it is important to state that the Prince Alfred was
clear of the Custom-house before two o'clock in the
afternoon—that she left Neyland a little after five
and steamed down to Milford in about half an hour.
She then slackened speed to allow her owners—
Messrs. Pearson and Coleman, of Hull—and about
50 invited guests and others, to disembark at Mil-
ford ; and after a detention of about five minutes
she left, and she had steamed outside the harbour's
mouth by seven o'clock that same evening. There
was no delay whatever at Milford, save the five
minutes to allow the owners and their friends to
leave the vessel. The detention for a day on ac-
count of some Custom-house routine was purely
imaginary on the part of your correspondent. I
went down from Neyland to Milford on board the
Prince Alfred, and therefore affirm only what I
know. I have, moreover, seen the Custom-house offi-
cers on the matter, and Mr. Patterson, the collector
of the customs, will, I am assured, corroborate my
statement, if corroboration be necessary.
I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
W. P. WILLIAMS.

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRUMPETER.
By G. W. THORNBURY.
" We recommend Mr. Thornbury's book to the world of
novel-readers. It is an exceedingly glittering drama,
well put upon the stage, the personages accurately defined
and strikingly varied, the scenery touched by the hand of an
artist, and the action sustained untiringly from the first scene
to the last."—Athenaeum.

SELF-PRESERVATION.—A Medical Treatise
on the Functions and Disorders of the Generative System,
and on the cure of Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting
from vicious habits acquired during the critical passage from
youth to Manhood, with practical observations on the Phy-
siology of Marriage in its social, moral, and physical rela-
tions. To which are added remarks on the wonders of the
Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life within
Life," and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examina-
tion, the cause and effect of every variety of these complaints,
with numerous engraVings and cases
BY SAMUEL LAWEIRT, M.D.,
37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON,
Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Hono-
rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li-
Centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear-
ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities,
and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth,
degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages
of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to
modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended
to persons entertaining secret doubts of their phvsical condi-
tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health,
happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en-
titled.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that
there are principles of personal management which cannot be
violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when
wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-
indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the
sting of their bitterness' may be removed, and how the evil
and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that
there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply
a cure.

Numerous complaints continue to reach us from the
north of Europe respecting the shortness of cattle food, and
it is stated that large supplies of beasts and sheep have yet
to be forwarded to our market in less than a half-fat state.
In the midland counties, too, food is scarce.
Compared with Monday last the show of foreign stock
in to-day's market was only moderate, but its general
quality was very inferior.

From our own grazing districts about an average time-
of-year supply of beasts came to hand in middling condition.
Although there was no life in the trade a fair amount of
business was transacted in most breeds at full prices—the
primest Scots having realised 4s 10d per 81bs.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire amounted to about 1,800 short horns;
from other parts of England, 400 of various kinds ; from
Scotland, 35 Scots ; and from Ireland, 720 oxen, &c.
We were again but moderately supplied with English
sheep. Prime Downs sold steadily at 4s lnd to 6s per Sibs,
and the value of half-breds was well supported. Other
breeds moved off slowly on former terms. About 1,200
Irish sheep were on show, and some of these realised 54s to
56s each.

The show of calves was limited, and the veal trade ruled
firm. In some instances "pricegAvere the turn higher—the
top quotation being 4s 10d per 81bs.
For pigs—the supply of which was tolerably good—there
was a steady inquiry, at full prices. •

THE ARMY.

The 67th Regiment, consisting of 30 officers and
746 men, left Aldershot on Saturday for Ports-
mouth, en route for India. It sailed yesterday on
board the Calcutta steamship, Captain Blackmore.
Captain Turner, Royal Artillery, has been ap-
pointed Adjutant to the Royal Artillery in the
Northern and Midland districts, and will join at
Manchester on the 24th inst.

A grand military spectacle, comprising a sham
fight and subsequent encampment of the troops,
similar to that which took place a month ago at
Woodlands, the seat of Colonel Henry White,
M.P. for Longford, was repeated last week,
and 'attracted a large concourse of spectators. There
were upwards of 4,000 troops on the ground, under
the command of Lord Seaton. The-Earl of Eglinton
was present, and subsequently partook of luncheon
at Colonel White's.

The ship Sardinia arrived at Queenstown on
Thursday, and the embarkation of the troops for
India took place in that vessel on Thursday.
Intelligence has been received at the invalid de-
pot, St. Mary's Barracks, Chatham, that upwards
of 200 sick and wounded men, belonging to various
cavalry and infantry regiments serving in India,
are now on their passage home from. Calcutta, and
may shortly be expected to arrive at the invalid
establishment, where special accommodation is or-
dered to be provided for them. During the past
summer about 2,000 sick and wounded troops,
chiefly from India, have been received at the invalid
depot, from which place those discharged have been
forwarded to their respective homes.
During the past week an unusually- large num-
ber of recruits have joined the Royal Engineers at
head-quarters, Brompton Barracks, Chatham.
On Saturday a detachment of Royal Engineers,
consisting of 30 non-commissioned officers and men,
under the command of Lieut. R. Hime, R.E., left
head-quarters, Chatham, and proceeded to South-
ampton, for the purpose of embarking on board the
Indus, for Calcutta. They will be forwarded to
India by the overland route.
A Dublin paper says :—" For some time past
public attention has been drawn to a difference
existing between the commanding officer and a
junior officer of the Scots Greys, on points which,
utterly frivolous in themselves, had been magnified
into matters of moment by misapprehension of facts.
We are glad to learn that the gallant colonel of the
regiment comes out of the inquiry in a manner
which must be most gratifying to all his friends."
The Evening Mail observes—" The late misunder-
standing in the Scots Greys has, we are happy to
learn, terminated in the manner in which we pre-
dicted it would—namely, on the matter at issue
being referred to the highest military authority in
the kingdom, it was summarily dismissed by his
Royal Highness. We need hardly say that there
has never been but one opinion as to the absurdity
of the statements which have found their way into
the press and public car."

PARIS, TUESDAY.
It is generally undersood that the French Cham-
bers will meet about the sth of February:
The Emperor has received a letter from the Duke
of Saxe Meiningen, announcing the marriage of
the hereditary prince, his son, to the Princess Feo-
dora of Hohenlohe-Langenburg.

The .Tournal do Aisre publishes the following
letter addressed to the editor by the -widow of the
late Marshal Lobau, who was Aide-de-Camp of the
late King Louis Philippe. It is dated Paris,
December 4 :

" I learned this morning only :and with extreme
surprise, the error committed with respect to me
in the number of your journal of the 29th of
November last, where my name is inserted in
the list of persons invited to Compiegne. However
improbable such an announcpment. may appear in
the position so exceptional in which I am placed,
I desire, sir, that you will rectify the article as
quickly as possible.

"The Marechale Countess of LOBAU."

The Count de Paris leaves Claremont to-morrow
for Seville, in Spain, where he intends spending
the winter months with the Duke and Duchess of
Montpensier.
