Mr.. b., our readers are aware, insists that this
is the Lost Comet of ITO, about which as,ro-
nomcrs have had so much to say, and although the
comet then had period of more than 3! years,
the difference is accounted for by the action of
Jupiter in deranging its orbit.
This comet, small as it is, Mr.. B. regards as
the most important tina, ranges our system, not
only from the great probability Of its coming in
collision with the Garth, at some remote period ;
but from the demonstration which its vagarics az
ford OF the existence OF a serious flaw ia the mt
chlnlsm of the material world, us astronomers
have arranged it, The same ,agarics, he says
will also demonstrate, to the most strenuous alvo.
Gates of the present syslcm, the existence Of new
class of forces, hitherto uureccgnized aud unsus-
pected IN astronomy, The discovery he claims
AS lIls own, alter NeMs OF ioisome investigation,
aud such positive testimony, as lie regards This,
coming altogether unexpectedly, is peculiarly
grateful to him.
Mr. b. has also sent us a sketch of the comets
orbit, with the relative positions Of the earth, the
comet, and Jupiter, showing the possibility of a
collision with the earth at some remote period.
Bearing IN mind that the comet moves almost j..
the the same plane the EARTH that its perhellon
distance is sometimes less and sometimes greater
than the carth's distance and that its velocity
more nearly assimiates to the earths velocity than
that Of any comet known, and in the same dlrcc-
ton, such a thing as a collision at some time or
other may indeed easily take place. For several
periods To come the planet Jupiter will not be in
favorable position for cxcr,ins his influence on
the comet, and therefore it will surely be visible

IL we shall advance in numbers, wealth

Thus by showing our willingness to con-

and by thus settling limit to the fears
