SOLAR SPOTS —A group of eight spots is now on the
sun in a circular form, three of which are five times
larger than the earth; they are on the. sun's equator, and
will disappear on the sun's westeralimb in about six days.
SOBTIRRANEAS some weeks past, indi-
cations of a fire beneath the surface of the ground,
have been observed in St. Peter's-square, in Leeds,
near the Sir John Falstaff public-house. These ap•
pearances continued to increase until Wednesday,
when the smoke issued in such quantities as to create
considerable alarm in the neighbourhood. An exca-
vation being made to discover the cense of this extraor-
dinary phenomenon, a large body of fire was discover-
ed, which, on the accession of air, burst into a vivid
flame. Engines were immediately procured, and a
large quantity of water was thrown into the exert.'
vatic''', which for the time appealed to have extin-
guished the fire, but in the coutse of a few hours it
was evident that the fire was deeper seated than had
been anticipated, and on Thursday the smoke was seen.
I to issue in various places, in very considerable quanti
ties, and yesterday a number of excavators were em-

ployed to'endeavo-or to discover the source of the fire
The fire, it is 'opposed, originates in the ignition of '
a bed of coal about five feet below the surface of the
ground, and which had probably been ignited by the
furnace of a pipe maker erected immediately over the
coal.
