0. G. Talmage writes thus from Mr. Gurney Bar-
clay's Observatory, Leyton, May 19 : -The interest taken
by the general public iu astronomical phenomena, more
especially those which are visible to the unaided vision,
and the rapid and extensive means of circulation offered by
The Times, induces me to forward you the following inte-
resting fact : - On the 15th of the present month a star was
noticed in the constellation Corona, of about the third
magnitude, where no bright star had previously existed ;
but, as far as I can at present learn, it was first noticed by
Mr. Baxendell, of Stocks-street, Manchester, a gentleman
who devotes much of his time to astronomy. This morning,
at 2h. 30miu., I directed the 10-inch telescope at the obser-
vatory to the object, and, with powers of from 500 to 1,000,
the star appeared surrounded by a hazy nebulosity to the
extent of about.3osec.; the brightness was about a mag-
nitude less than E Coronfe. It is exceedingly desirable
that a number of comparative observations of brightness
should be made with unaided vision as long as possible.
Mr. Baxendell furnishes the following Nsitiva:—R.A., 1012.
