ihe Copsef. The appearance of Be

 as Comet has been announced in vari ous shapes by almost every paper in the United States, and very probably in. correctly. Many people have evident. y mistaken the planet Mars for the Comet. Mars is now very near the Pleiades, and rises in the N. F. about it o'ciock, ?. NJ. Others have been mislead by the Nebula in the girdIe ol Andromeda, which certainly las some thing of the appearance of Comet, and has caused similar mistakes on for mef occasions. Some notices of Bela s Comet have evidently been manufac- tured from Berrett's Hemisphere map, which appears to have been made up from that very creditable publicatiol1- ehe American Almanac and Repository. t is presumed that this Comet, which is looked for with great interest both by the learned and unlearned, will be, seen with tolerable telescope, at least awcek before it can be visible to the nas ked eye. When it does appear, it is to be hoped that some scientific gentle-I man will give to the publici its apparent place in the heavens, in order that it may be identified by every one. The position of an object in the heayens is usually expressed in deciination and right ascension, which bear the same relation to the celestial equator that lat itude and longitude do to the terrestial. The right ascension is measured east ward in time or degrees from the first point of Aries-but, almost every school boy of the present day, understands the use of the Globes, and on this sub ject we need not say more.

 : Should the Comet pass it's Priehelion later than the calculations state, or ap- pear to the westward of it's computed place, 1t will not come nearer to the earth than fifty-one millions of miles the estimated distance--if month la-- ter, 1t will come almost in contact with the earth. scientific friend, who has a telescope capable of observing the cclipses of jupter's Satellites, has not been able 10 see the Comet up 10 the 27til ut. It's apparent path in the heavens will be eastward, but owing to the diurnal motion Of the earth, and the acceleration of the fixed stars, it will appear 10 have d different motion. We may therefore expect 10 receive many ridiculous accounts of this Comet.
