AURORA BoREALIs.-On Tuesday evening was
a brilliant display of Aurora Borealis, extending
at times over the whole heavens but chiefly in
sire ans of light from the zenith to the east and
west: 1t had at times the appearance Of bright
veil extending across the sky and rapidly chang
ing its form, and varying its hue from deep pur.
pie red, to a brilliant white. The light was occa-
sionally almost equal to that of bright moon
light. The northern portion of the heavens was
that in which there was the least light.-It began
at about quarter past s, and was most brilliant
at about 9 o'clock.
During yesterday afternoon very distinctly
marked mirage was observed in the habour. Yes.
sells of which only the sails could be seen nhe dis
lance, were represented by distant image invert'
ed above the horison exhibiting not only the sails
but the hull. In some instances images were
seen apparently of vessels beyond the reach of di.
