called Charles Vain, or the Plough. The
distance Of the nucleus, taken with the
sextant, is 81 degrees 81 minutes from
Arcturus. the brightest star in Bootes, and
% degrees 25 l.2 minutes from Lyra.-|
These distances place the Comet between
the shoulders of Hercules. Its Right As
cension is about 8 signs l-2 degrees, and
its Dcclination IS degrees. 1t has prob
ably been visible for some time past, but
for the cloudiness Of the weather. tits an
object which in a clear sky, attaches and
strikes the eye by its brightness. The
termination Of the tail becomes perplex-


ing to the discernment by the faintness in
to which it fades. Its length by refer
ence to the star b (beta) Hercules, to
whose distance it was judged equal, was
found by the instrument, to be about l-2
degrees. If this Comet is still on its way
to its perihelion, it has not yet attained
Its greatest splendor, and it will probably
become interesting. This morning is the
first time of our observing it, and its course
lin the heavens is not yet ascertained.-
Should the weather prove favorable, w
may give further notices Of it hereafter.
