Herald, From Time's T.U scope ir 1832. The Comets ot the year 1332. About the latter part of the year 1828, an impression generally prevailed that foiro baleful influence was connected with c comet the n about to appear, of which it had been fiiimed that it was most like. I jy cf others to corr.e in contact with the earth; ihis was the comet of Ei ckc The Get man and French phiiophera also predicted that the onct of Beila would, in the year 1832, breathe desolation cn the human race, and by its shock reduce this beautiful world to its origin al chaos. In Oris country, notices epj pearrd in the public prints relative to a j coniet sajd to be visible, ard hce vho saw it, wondered that it temained stationary; it would indeed have been a wonderful phenomenon hzd it moved for this fancied comet proved to be the nebula in the girdle of Andromeda, the position of which in the heavens w&s as permanent as lhat of any of the fixed stars. At lengih the expected comet did ?ppear, but only dimly seen with a teleKrone. Il r.assrd the earth's orbit, rrm. investigation dies, and the paths "which they pursue. It is not very prcbable that the comet of j Encke will be satisfactorily visible in j this hemisphere during its return in tho , p, estnt year; it will pass its perihelion the early part cf May. The ectnet cf 13ei)a will be neaiest to the earth on tho 22nd cf October, when its dis ance will be about fifty millions of miles. The alarm which prevailed in Paris and on the Continent, with respect to tho idanccr of the return of this cemet in 1832, keemj 10 ha?e Citiginatcd in sorno supposed calculations medc by the celortitaud Lnldiide, and the popular tumult i,n oidcr to sunnress it. It is kr.o . n ii;at 9 the comet ot 1770 passed through tho system of the planet of Jupiter, will out in the slightest degree tfl&ciii:g the motions cl cither the primary cr ids satellites, and that it passed sufficiently ncar our planet lo have shoiltned he length o' the year, had its mass been equal to that of the earlh. Most cf the calculations rcipectinr; the cffeci of the proximity of a comet to cur earth, have proceeded on erroneous principles over-rating ihe quantity of matter in comets, and loiing sight of their great velocity when in this part of the systern For a comet to produce tny direful tffeel, iV-pught lo contain not merely a great quantity cf matter, but also to be vertical and stationary o the earth's surface lor several hours; instead of which, we have reason to believe that though vst in volume, comets coniaio but little matter io proportion; consequently their attractive energy would be inconsiderable, while their velocity would ia a very ihcrt period csny thera be
