THE COMET.—A letter from St. Petersburgh, of the 11th
of April, says—" Neither here nor at Pitlmoma (?), where
the principal observato.iy is situated, have our astronomers
been able, with all their efforts, to discover the new comet.
It has not been visible in this part of the empire, though at
several places in Southern Russia it was discernible by the
naked eye (that is to say the tail) as far back as the-month of
February, whenever the state of the atmosphere permitted.
As for the nucleus, it could not be seen without the aid of a
telescope,"

THE FACTORY BILL.—DISSENTERS AND CHURCHMEN.
—The real cause of the disagreement between the Legisla-
ture and the Dissenters, is, that these two parties regard the
question from two entirely different points of view. The
Government, having inquired into the matter by the agency
of a body of intelligent commissioners, has become ac-
quainted with a state of things which all public men declare
to be fraught with the greatest danger to the State. It there-
fore declares, with the concurrence of Parliament, and of
the nation at large, that immediate measures for the removal
or alleviation of the evil must and shall be taken. The Dis-
senters, on the other hand, look less at the fearful ascertained
deficiency, than they do at their own doings in reduction of
that deficiency. They see that a good and efficient and per-
♦ading system, established by the State, must inevitably
weaken and reduce, if not utterly destroy, many of their own
schools. And their fondness for their own doings renders
them blind to the great national gain, which will accrue from
an increased and really Sufficient provision.
