The Predicted Comet.

The following extract from q private letter
written last November, which we find in the
National Intelligencer, not only gives some
facts respecting ihe nature of comets, but also
announces theory respecting their electoral
influence which may explain the singular
weather Of the present season.
The near approach of this planet in en-
bryo viii influence our planet, perhaps the
entire solar system. 1t will be attracted by
the sun, ana then rcpeIed 10y il; 1t will both
attract and repel the planets of the solar sys-
tenn, and appear to create disorder, confusion.
Bat have no fears 1t can neither attract nor
be attracted so as 70 come in contact with any
of the heavenly bodies The most it can do
to any of the planets tours not excepted) will
be to change the current of their electrical
envelopes. This will have tendency to give
us the warpest or coldest winter Should the
comet appear soon) experienced since 1865.
Should the earth's electricity be attracted or
repelled to either pole, the temperate zones
vail enjoy an unusual degree of mildness; on
the other hand, should the earth's electric
she be gathered il folds nearing the equa-
to.ai region, then indeed may We exrect the
most intCa-e cold ever experienced in this
chr ate. In either even. The disturbance Of

i.S'on with :. o,In.t, NJ. BaOinet, oi the French
Institute, says:
With regard to one ofthe qestions to which
this question has given rise, l must protest
against the idea that comet possesses the
power of imparting pereeptible mechanical
shock. l can prove that the collision Of a
swallow, intent suicide, and flying with
full force against train of hundred carri
ages, drawn by ten. steam engines, would be
a thousand times more dangerous for the train
in question, than would be the simultaneous
shock Of all the RnoVR comets against the
earth.
