The Portland Advertiser saws that SO far as
any observations have been published-for ex.
ample at New Bedford and Woodstock, they
coincide entirely with statements Of persons in
this city. who looked at the comet, through
the ordinary ships telescope. And we may
add that it was seen by a large part of the
population of this city, from an early hour in
The forenoon. until nearly shutdown.
The II. Y. Sun says: "Mr. Mcigs, at the
Planetarium, stated that it Is the most magni-
fcent one seen in many years. 1t appeared
during the last century. As 10 its hitting our

~ On Sunday and Monday last
We were visited by a snow storm, which
we believe will compare with any pre-
vious n during the present winter.
The snow fell TO the depth Of some 5 or
b inches, and what is still worse it mani
tests no disposition to dissolve lis con
nection with mother earth at present. 1t
is now the first ofApril. and the earth is
supposed to be frozen some ~ or Is
inches deep-a gloomy prospect indeed
ior the farmer-and in fact, for all. If
Miller had predicted that we were to be
frozen TO death, we should all, long since,
have become nve- to his belief. As
1t is, we are still in doubt.

MILLERIsM IN ST. Lou1s.-An i'm.
mense of persons assembled a
Concert Hall, yesterday evening, saw.
the Republican, TO hear the disciples o
Miller hold forth. The meeting was
more like a mass meeting held in this city.
or the late Tyler meeting in New York,
than any thing we can compare it TO.
Soon after the speaker commenced, clap
ping and all sorts of noise were uttered.
Scotch snuff or cayenne pepper had
been scattered over the floor, and all sorts
of snuffing and c%aughing ensued-eggs
werethrown at the speakers; their charts
were thrown down, and the disturbance
arose to such an extent that Mr.. Xaupi
the lessee of the room. had to appear on
the stage and request the audience not
to injure the room. On the outside, sew
eral hundred were collected inthe street.
and some evil persons threw stones into
The front windows. When this COM
incnced the meeting broke up. The
whole was as unlike a religious meeting
as can well be conceived of: in fact, it ap-
preached very near a mob.

PRIVATE EYrERpRIsE.-The last Gin
%cinnati Gazette says: A messenger, on
nected with Harden's Express, passed
through this city yesterday with $4,000
in American gold, for New Orleans
The transaction is connected with the
heavy operations in Exchange now 60
ing on between New Orleans, Bos-
ton and New York. 1t was taken TO
Baltimore by their Owl Express thence
by Rail Road to Curnberland-Express
TO Wheeling-Steam Boat Importer to
Cincinnati-and Immediately reshipped
here on the Diamond for New Orleans.
This is the first attempt of Harden
s. Co. to extend the benefits oftheir great
Express Line from Boston through the
Western Route to New Orleans, via
Cincinnati; and which line they intend
to continue, if supported by the public.
1t is thought they will be able TO antici-
pate the Mail, on the Atlantic route 10
New Orleans, from two TO three days.
This will prove a benefit TO Merchants
and all others doing business on the
route, who wish parcels, SC. delivered,
or any other business transacted, second
ia importance only TO the Post Office
Department itself.
The ~ramifcations of Harden's Ex-
press extend throughout nearly the whole
Continent of Europe, where it is foster
ed by the different Governments. He
wishes to embrace in his arrangements,
all the great commercial points in the
United States, though Congress made an
unsuccessful attempt last winter to sup
press his whole business.

The following is the conclusion Of .
letter published in the N. Haven Conn.
Register, from Capt. ]. w. Fisher TO O
mercantile house in that city, dated Point
Petre, Guadalupe, February 9Th: The
greatest danger now apprebcnded is an
insurrection among the negroes, but |
think there's little to fear onthat account,
as martial law has been established, and
an embargo laid on all shipping in port.
The embargo will continue until a fleet
arrives from Martinique with succor and
supplies, which is expected in the course
of the next ten days. The Government
having concluded to rebuild the place
with wood, the Governor has declared
the port free Of port charges and duties
on lumber and provisions. The official
report up 20 the day Of sailing (2ath
Feb.) states that the number of dead
bodies foundis 5,S49, and they are still
digging more out of the ruins.-TIb.
