 Scottish Guardian. t Wholesale EmigratiOn.--The Stuttgard Universal Gazette of Sept. 2d, announces that n plan is in progress in the south west of Ger many, to make up State and ship it over to the United States, to become twenty fifth member of the Confederacy. The following notice of the project appears in that pnbiica- ton :---" According to accounts from the south west from Germany, society ofIibcr- al men are organizing grand plan Of femlgra- ton to North America. The emigration has hitherto been precariOus, because 1t did not rest on any solid foundation, and because the means were not concentrated. But now 1t is different, as the object is to form a New Ger many beyond the ocean, which is 10 receive all those whose hopes apd claims to liberty and right are disappointed in Old Germany In order to be admitted into the Confederacy of the United States of America, the law re- q0ires the number of free inhabitants, above 25 years of age, to be 6O,OO0, 40. 900 with out distinction of age, Eds.] and this number is to be assembled before any further mes- ures can be taken. Many of the Germans es- tablished in North America will join their countrymen, and the plan is SD popular in Germany, that scarcely any doubts are enter tained of it's being successful"
 The inquiry is daily made where is the Comet? A number answer, it is that large and bright star which, in the early part ofthc evening, appears in the south east; aiInding to the planet Jupiter. But greater portion of those who imagine they have seen the Comet, believe it to be bright star a little east of the seven stars this however is the planet Mars, and vely unlike the appearance of comet.
 Believing that Ishould gratify some of our readers, and save them the trouble of farther watching and inquiry. would remark, that there is no comet to be seen at present, and none has yet appeared, as far as can ascer- tain with good telescope and many wake ful nights.
 The comet called Bicla's Comet, from Mir. Biela who first saw if, at its last return in Feb. 1926, was supposed 10 be sixyears and eight months performing revolution: and upon this calculation, it ought to have ap- peared in August last, about s deg. of right ascension and 28 deg. of north declination, near the constellation called the Bee. and ought to have been in sight about months. and it would now be about II deg. right as- cension and 23 deg. N. declination, which would be n the eastern part Ofthe Constella- ton called the Twins, (Gemini.) It would have been nearest to the earth on Tuesday the 2Sd inst. and then sliltle more than 5O millions of miles from us. It ought now to rise little north of east and about 10 o'clock in the evening, and to be growing brighter un- til about the middle of November. cannot say it will not be seen, hut if so it must be soon. or within ten nights.
