TERARY PANORAMA. The great variety of talent
recently elhlbited in this Work, added to its very intercstirg
embOlishments, having caused a greater demand for Numbers

quested to take notice, tint the Number published on the let of
August, is the first of a NEW VOLUME, and those persons
why may wish to avail themselves of this favourable opportunity
for commencing it, are requested to forward their orders, with-
out delay, to their respective Book:ellen or Newsmen.—This

proof of the decided superiority of the plan of this .Magazine,
which may be regularly transmitted abroad, by applying to any
l'ost-Master.

THE COMET.

GOSPORT, AUGUST 19.

The Comet has not been visible since the Bth instant, but by
the help of a tekscape. Its train has entirely disappeared, and
the nucleus in the centre of the diffused Cema &hews itself oily
at intervals,_ and then no larger than a star of the sixth magni-
tude. On aear nights its progressive motion may still be trcccd
amongst the fixed stars. From the 3d to the "nth ult. ha North
declination increased 9 deg. 85 min. I:4 sec. and from that period
to this date, it has decreased in North declination 1 deg. 30 min.
30 sec. Its position on the 19th inst. was a little above, and
within a degree Eastward of a small star, just under the anterior
right paw of the Great Bear, and will appear immediately over
It in a few more evenings. It now comes to the meridian under
the. Pole a few minutes before 11 r. at. Since the first evening
of the Comet's appearance to the present time, It has moved in
its orbit 15 deg. 39 min. 42 sec. to the Westward of Capella, and
llt deg. 13 ado. nearer to Dablee.

Sir Rieman Surtax, Ban. and Was. Mamas, Esq. are nomi-
nated Stewards for the next 'car.
There vials but a slender attendance of company at this Meet-
ing, compared with former years, which may be attributed to
vatious causes, namely—the absence of families at the watering
places, the operations of the harvest, and the depressed state of
trade. Towards night-fall on Wednesday evening several depre-
dadons were committed on the Forest, by a gang of thitve3. In
puticular, a countryman was attacked and stripped of all his
i clothes while in a state of hatoxication,and he was left with no-
thing but an old smock frock, which the thieves threw over him
to cover his nakedness.
