EVENING ASPECT OF THE SKY
FOR AUGUST.

Mn. EDlrOR: 1t may not be time misspenl
to contemplate an occurrence so rare, ana
investigate for ones self the interesting fact,
seeing the like phenomenon may not again
happen during our brief means OF observa-
ton. Venus with her varying phnses hangs
upon the evening dusk with rcsplendant beau
", and being near the earth, is peculiarly
favorable for telescope Investigation, her dis
tance this evening being 46,920,S79 miles,
She will approach the earth until the 4th Of
October, when her distance will be only
26,452 100 miles. Next in companlonship is
Jupiter. Though fifteen hundred times lar
ger than Venus, shines with feebler llisire
ond to the casual observer would be taken
for the lesser planet of the two, Jupiter be-
ing near his superior conjunction is situated
at the distance of 5S3 SG5 $40 miles from the
Garth. Notwithstanding. his miniature sys.
TEN is beautifully developed through the
telescope. Next in order is Mars, peculiar
for his glowing red and gibhous form. Then
the brilliant retnue of Saturn, with his mag
nficent rings and seven Moons. lie passes
the ear,h's meridian at 6 o'clock and z min
-utes at o distance Of 90S, ,2l2366 miles, situa-
ted near the bright star Antares IN the con-
stelation Scorpio. Though rccedlng from
the earth, his position is the best for tclcs-
comic inspection. There is no planet whose
firInament present such variety OF splendid
and magnificent objects as that of Saturn
The various aspects Of his moons, one rising
above the horizon, a second on the meridian
n third descending the western sky -one
entering into an eclipse, another emerging
from it-ogain all are seen glttering in one
hc,nisphere-now they assume q recent
then gibbous phasis. Then the majestic
m ton of bis rings, hcnving their radiance
to the sky, then casting broad shadows on
his tliac, the whole borne on through space
with amazing velocity. Some idea may be
formed of the diameter of the rings of this
planet, when we consider that there is but
barely space sufficient between the orbit o
the moon and our earth to admit that pas.

Expedition, which, after having spent con-
siderable time in pushing its exploration IL
the South, reached Valparaiso, on the Pacific
Ocean, about the middle of May, the officers
and crews of the vessels composing the
squadron being generally in excellent health

which they had undergone.
We learn, further, that the Expedition
forced it way to q point further South than
