THE COMET.
THE CELESTIAL STRANGER.
The Editor of the Louisville Journal states positively that hehas seen thebody ofthe Comet ltelf. and as the same statement has been made
In several newspapers of New England, we suppose there is no doubt upon the subject. The Journal says: The Comet. We had the pleasure of seeing
for the last three evenings the Comet noticed hv some of our Eastern cotemporaries, and
mentioned by us on Saturday. About 8 o'clock on Saturday evening, we recognised the body
of the Comet close to the western horizon, not
far from the equator, followed by an immense luminous train, opposite the sun, of 20 or 30 deg. in length. The body of the Comet was very indistinct on account of its nearnes to the
horizon, where the haze was thick. Last night a cloud on the horizon prevented the body of the Comet being visible at all. This Comet was seen in Massachusetts on the 28th of Febuary. In the day time close to the sun's eastern limb according to Boston paper. . We noticed the appearance last evening, and it strikes us it cannot be accounted for on any
other supposition. It has the same long ray
like form with Comets' tails, and seems to pro
ceed from one precise point. The Comet of of 1770 reached across half the heavens, and at last disappeared among the sattleits of Jupiter, and nobody knows what became of it. Since we wrote the above, we find the following testimony of a writer in the New York Tribun?: On Sunday evening it was brighter than the Zodiacal light. Lit evening 1 saw it still plainer. This evening the nucleus was seen by myself and a few others, soon after sunset, .. . . . i - 1 : T 1 . 1.

"Of the remedies which Mr. Clay proposed
for our evils, one he deemed paramount and
essential. Industry and Economy must be practiced in all things we must make more and buy less we must produce at home, on our own farms and plantations rrsoie than we need consume our wives and daughters must ply their own needles more, and employ the milliners less.

evening the interest was too intense to turn away from thetelescope for other and more exact observations on this spot " Lieut. Maury then gives the precise position and magnitude of the light streak. "Wednesday, flying massesof ':Cirus stratus'' occasionally obscured the Sun; but preparations were made for determining the rtght ascension
and declination ef the "spot" on the disc of thei Sun if perchance, that spot should prove to bej the nucleus of the comet. At noon, the clouds broke away from the sun, and though the glass was of feeble power, the well-defined dark spot was distinctly seen through if." Thursday and Friday. The weather was too hazy to make such observations as Lieut. Maury desired; but in the evening it appeared much earlier than it has done here. "Accordingly at 5h. 54m. sideral time, and
much to the delight of all present, this beauti
ful streak of light was dimly seen. In twenty
minutes afterwards it was most distinct, spanning the southwestern sky with a faint nebulous arch, that reached away beyond Sirius to
the east, and rested on Epsilmon in the constellation of the Great Dog. It measured 85 deg. in length above the horizon, far below wich it seemed to extend. At 6h. 24m. just thirty minutes from its first appearance this spectacle was lost in the gathering clouds. He says in conlusion "Such, up to the present time, is the history, and has been the appearance of this phenome
non, as observed here. The return of iloar weather and thfe accounts of other observers are not sufficient to enable me to hazard more than a mere conjecture, much less would they
iustify any positive assertion, as to whether
this be the tail of a comet or not. If it be
comet, the probabilities are that it is receding
from the sun, and will soon be lost to us. M. F. MAURY, Lieut. U. S. Navy

vulgar notion is that when these streaks ap
pear, the sun draws water, while the appear
ancc is made solely by the light passing through vapor, or between portions of it. The tail of the comet is not fire and it might sweep over us without our perceiving it. In
deed this is probably the case sometimes, when a comet comes directly between the sun and
the earth."
A communication from Brown University to
the Providence Journal says:
"There seems no reason to doubt that this beam of light is the tail of a Comet. We have
said that it was unlocked for. Since the commencement of the christian era, five or six hundred different comets, or at least different
appearances of comets, have been noticed

the sam part of the heavens, traversing the
same fixed stars, and is always correspondent in
its directions to the magnetic axis of the place where it appears. Finally, although the new light resembles very strongly the tail of a comet
yet it canot be positively pronounced to be one
until a nucleus be discovered or the tail be prov
ed to have a regular orbital motion. But what
ever it may be it 13 undoubtedly a harmless
phenomenon resulting from the harmonious
laws of nature.
Since writing the above account of my obser
vations which were mere approximations made
without instruments, by a few glimpses of the phenomenon, between the clouds which have almost constantly concealed it from our view,
I have been told that my friend Sears C. Walker of Philadelphia, has seen the nucleus and has
determined the elements of the orbit, thus set
tling the question that it is absolutely a comet

Our Eastern Astronomers generally, admit
that our extraordinary Celestial Visiter is
Comet. We group together below, a number
of obse rvations and remarks upon the subject
la different parts of the country.
At Haverford School, near Philidelphia, the
nucleus of the Comet was observed on the 1 1
inst. It was visible for a short time to the na
ked eye, though of inferior brightness to a star
ef the third magnitude.
" On the night or the 11th, (says the North American.) it was distinctly seen, and obser
vations upon tt were made at this High School
Observatory. "Its passage from the Mm hav
in moved so far eastward that the nucleus or
body could be distinctly seen throush the tel
Krone. By observations at the High School
Oberyatory, by Prof. Kendall and Mr. Walk
r. assisted by Prof. Barche and Dr. Patterson
the Riht Ascension of the nucleus at 7 houts
21 minutes and 12 second, was 1 hour 4a mm
utes and 1 second, and the Declination South
11 degrees 35 minute; and 23 seconds. It was
25 minutes of space otth of Zeta Ceti. star of the third magnitnd, and was of about the kriehtnunnf that star. Throueh the comet

They are the following:
