THE NEW COMET.

This new cloud Of cosmical dust is to become
in a few weeks one of the most splendid me-
teors ever witnessed. 1t was first discovered
ON April II ultimo, by M. Coggia, at Mar
settles, small, but having an intense unclear
condensation. Its polar distance was about
20 degrees, Is minutes and 90 seconds, and it
was moving slowly towards the southwest. It
was first visible 10 the early morning, but is
now also visible in the evening. 1t has been
increasing in brightness, and, by a sharp and
somewhat p~ractised eye, can be seen in the
constellation Camelopard in right ascension
about seven hours and declination about 20
degrees north. II is now r~eceding from the
sun and is diminishing in actual size and bright
ness, but as it is approaching nearer to US its
b%rllliance is apparently augmented.
This luminous meteor, which is named
Comet II. of 1874, is wholly outside of the
earth's orbit, but, as it moves on its fiery track
will on the Sd of August attain its maximum
beauty and brightness for us. When first
deserted by M. Ooggia its brightness was only
one in the scale, now it is nearly seven but
after the LIST of July it will reach a much high
er degree of luminosity, and on the Sd of August
will have a brightness of two hundred and for
ty-fve. These figures will afford the reader
an idea of what an astronomio treat he may
look forward to in August.
Some preliminary, but not perfect, spec
troscopic examinations have been already
made of the new wonder, for which, no doubt,
scientists aud the public generally will wait
eagerly. There is something SO wonder
full to the human mind and SO surprising all
attempts to fathom in these enormous volumes
of cometary matter whirling on fixed paths
through planetary space that every effort should
be made to analyze and spectroscopically test
their nature. Already the telescope has re-
vealed nearly seven hundred comets, and every
year we have one or two new ones. Greater
activity among we'll equipped stargazers would
probably show a much larger number rushing
along on or near the earth's orbit. The disturb
ing effect on the earth's atmosphere of such a
comet as Halley's, whose tail was nearly ninety
thousand miles long and whose temperature
was more than twenty-five thousand times that
of the MONDAY sun at the Equator, is a pro.
blem we'll worthy Of more accurate investiga.
ton than it has ever received. As yet it does
appear that Coggia's comet, the second OF 1874,
is associated with the stream Of August me.
teors but that also remains for investigation.
Let our astronomers and spectroscopists make
the most of this new visitor from the dis
tant fields of the stellar world, and, it possible,
remove the reproach which the ignorance of the
constitution of cometary bodies has so loug en-
tailed on the science of astronomy.

ing news items relative to some of the English
Presidencies -
BARBADos.-The new session of the Lee
g~islature was opened on the 10th June,
in the new Public Buildings, in Broad
Street, where there is a spacious Assem-
bly, Room and Council Chamber in the Eastern
wing Just nufshed, with the Public Offices and
Library on the ground floor. The revenue
raised in 1878 was 9I23 ,667, the largest
amount ever raised before in one year, and
making, with the balance from the previous
year, d total available income of 9l2G,77O.
The total public and p~arochial taxes amounted
to 9l66, 000-a taxation of about 20s. per
head. Sir Boucher Clarke, Chief Justice, it is
said, has signi6ed his intention to resign. The
salary (R2, 000) will be reduced by the Legis-
lature. The introduction of greater economy
in the public service will serve to counterfeit
a tendency to OstentatiOus and extravagant
style of living that has grown into fashion of
late in private life, from an imitation of the
customs of New York and Boston, and other
Transatlantic cities, whose splendour and
wealth are far beyond anything Barbados could
hope to reach. The weather was favorable,
some fine showers having fallen, and the young
canes looked we'll.

penditure of this Presidency for the last four
months shows income to be &C., 85 and expen.

island prior to the introduction of Bronze coin
age.-The British Brig Rio Grande, Spray,
master, 80 days from London, bound to Jamai-
ca, struck on the Diamond Reef, north of this
island, on the 3rd June, After taking out part
of her cargo :she was got off, making much
water.-About midnight she was discovered
to be on fire, caused by Temper Lime getting
wet.-Lloyd's agent ordered the vessel into
deep Bay" where she was beached and the
fire extinguished. The cargo was being land
ed, and the vessel condemned. The month of
May closed with fine showers all over the ISL
and, and every where the young canes were
looking healthy, with a good prospect of a fine
crop of sugar next year. The reaping of a
very short crop this year will soon be over.
DoMINECA.-The sugar crop of 1874 was
rapidly drawing to a close, and reaping on the
principal estates would cease in about two or
three weeks. The total result will be rather
below the average of former years. There is
a disposition among the planters to try new
branches of culture, such as coffee, tobacco, &c.
TRENIDAD.-It is said that Mr.. Henry Lud-
low, of the English Bar, has been appointed
Attorney General of. this island. Adetermined
and british murder was committed by a fisher
man named Timothy Charles. The crime
arose out of a gambling quarrel. The conse-
