BATAVIA, DEC. 31, 1844.—Yesterday evening severalof
the inhabitants of this city saw a comet, the appearance of
which seems to be as unexpected as that of the comet which
was visible at the beginning of 1843. The neucleus is plainly
discernable by the naked eye, but the tail is not so bright
nor so long as that of the comet which appeared almost two
years ago.

THE ARIEL CLUB BOA T-RACE.

The Ariel " scratch", four-oared race was rowed on Wed-
nesday evening, and drew a strong muster of the various

Blue—Messrs. Rowland (stroke), Bottril, H. Cooper, Allen,
C. Cooper (cockswain).
Yellow—Messrs. Peschey (stroke), Williams, Chesswright,
Longrove, Hendry (cockswain).
Red--Messrs. Dodd (stroke), Trigge, Frisby, Gils,
ham (cockswain).
The gentlemen were started by the St. George, in their
eight, and went away from the bridge at the same moment.
After being oar and oar for a few moments, blue took the
lead, and although pressed severely throughout the race,

gallantly ; red had the best of :it up to the Penitentiary,
when yellow came oar and oar, and gradually drew a length
ahead ; red, however, was not so easily shook off, and were
close upon their adversaries' quarter all the way up. The
race was won by two lengths, yellow two yards in advance
of the third. 'the St. George, Neptune, Waverley, Nautilus.
Trident, Herne, and other clubs, accompanied the race.
