 TIE AURORA BoREAIIs.-NOne of obr readers, we presume, who love to view the wondefs and beauties of Providence, failed of observing the splendid ap- pearance of the sky on Wednesday evening of last week. We could multiply adjective upon adjective to express views of the beauty and gradeur and subIty of the scene, but all would fall short, very far short of giving correct and adequate conception of it. It must have been witnessed to be realized- We therefore wave any description of our own, and copy account from the N. Y. Express, and also more scientific one from Prof. Olmsted, of Yale Col lege, show what is said of it promising that the Aurora as far south Washington, and east as far as heard from Portland.

 Brilliant IHur;nosioR.-The whole heavens presen- ted most singular phenomena last evening from sum set to midnight unsurpassed in brliancy, beauty and effect. The night was pleasant, the atmosphere mild and the moon shone with more than it's wonled clear ness. The sky studded with an innumerable number of stars, and the evening altogether was like the evenings of September and October, which the husbandman and the hunter have designated as the harvest and the hunters moOn Y he night was more like that of late spring or an early autumn than an evening at midwnter. From the extreme northern horizon to distance farin the south the heavens pre- scented picture of more beauty and variety than We ever remember to have seen before. thousand rain bows with all their original coors and freshness of the rainbow after the storm were woven m solid body of light, from which, from the radl of circle, thousand corruscations sparkled forth with many tints and hues of light. Now deep crimson body of light, like the blaze from burning n'onument-now

The meteorc showers could hardly have been more beautiful and the Aurora Boreails was neyer m our recollection magnificent.

 MAGMFlcEST ACRoEA.-The evening of the 18th presented with another grand display ot auroral

 The attention of the writer was first attracted to it this time, the northern sky exhibited blush no. un- like that of the farest dawn This was skirted, on the east and west, by ill-dc6ncd columns of crimson light, which moved slowly from north to south: At7 tended, as usual. to c,ninion focus, few degrees south and east of the zenith At 10 minutes past the Pleiades, which were nearly at its centre, and seemed for few moments to control its mysterious movements By the diurnal motion, however, those stars soon moved to the westward; but the common focus point of concourse, of all the strcamers held fixed position in the magnetic meridian and near the pole of the dipping needle as s ss the case n r.n, is times during the evening, the corona was dispersed, and as often reformed; hut the position Of its centre remained nearly Gyaabs with nth re;EeG, tP % ne nor ern sky had moved slowly southwark, its boundary spanning the Armament from west to east n well de-

 These phenomena played off various interesting ey. cluons, until l5 minutes alter 10 clock; when sud spind|es of svery lustre, darted from the crimson tods of light that hung aroung the sky and all point cd to%a1s the nd rs o n snd va wreathed themselves around the same point, Tn wavy folds.

 The task of describing this gorgeous canopy, hung with crimson drapery, and supported by pillars ofu earthly size and hue, and studded with so many bright stars and planets, transcends the powers of pho sophy: we consgn it to the poets; all obscured by the auroral covering Indeed, the two planets appeared through dense mass of red vapor with seemingly augmented splendor. The ground itself covered with snow, which exhibit ed a delicate rosy tnt contributed to enhance tue beauty of the scene.

 Although the moon was shining in the east, and but little past the fu yet the dstnctness of the aurora lights seemed scarcely impaired by it. This IS re- nfarkabe perhaps there is not more than one instance on record when so splendid an exhibition of the auro-
