Phenomenon. very remarkable t,.!ae.lsissss..s.::= af the s..A wa4 witnessed al tais place on the I2th, 18th and ldth iileiant. On the I2th its appearance 8ds not 50 extraordinary as on the two following days. Ont morning of the l3til, the faFs ef the sun were observed to wear an uncommon, hlush hue, whicl. continued, with some increase, through out the day and as he asccndcd his cer- cult i'll the heavens, his face assumed more than ordinary dazzling brilliancy, which gradually disappeared with his deciination in the afternoon; and from

 to 6 o'clock, F. M. it was as placid as that of the ssilver Queen of night;" during which period, dark spot on his disk, lnclining to the south limb, was yis- ibie 10 tho naked eye. At night, the raysofthe moon were unusually dim, and I small portion of her edge, on one side, was entirely concealed. We also note, as circumstance not the least remark able, that the western horizon, for con siderable time after the close Of twilight, was illuminated like that of the east at sthe rosy dawn of day. The same scene was exhibited on the lftf, with but little, if any, variation.

 Fms phenomenon has given rise 10 much pccnIatioii. 0fthe various opin- ions as to it's cause, ono of two only can be correct. itmust nave been prod,ic- ed by either the density of the atmos- phere, or the intervention of some offh planets. The former snpposition is sanctioned by tine opinion of gentle man distinguished for his literary and scientific requirements, who witnessed

 it; and the latteris coiToborated by the following series of astronomical piie- nomena, which, according to q writer in q Baltimore paper, must have occurred ia a space Of q few daye,i. 2. from the 4th to the l2th instant, to wit: Aug. 4. {. Venus and the San in oppositior,; :. Mercury and Mars in conjunction; (, Sun and Ierselei in opposition; ', Mercury and Saturn in conjunction. and Sun totally eclipsed; invisible, how ever, in the United States; but the eclipse was predicted to be uncommon iy great and of Ioug duration, four hours and hityssixty miantes--yisible in tie greater part of New ffoiiaud andi the

 South Pacific Ocean; August s, Moon

 and Mars iTi conjunction; Q, Moon and

 Saturn in conjunction: Io, San and yu- piter in opposition; l l. Moon and ye-

 nus in conjunction. I2, Mars and Sa- turn in conjunction.

 I The reader may take his choice ol

 these opinions; or, If he prefer II, he may adopt the ridiculous and superstition,

 notions Of those who, adherihg to the absurd predictions of the ancient Is

 trologers. view such events as ominonl
