The Approaching Con,et.--From the Falmouth Eng. Packet, Lieut.. Morrison of the Royal Navy, has published most interesting work upon this magnificent phenomenon, which Is expected to be seen iii the course of this year, 1885, between the month of May and August, in the Constellation of Ursa .Nqior.-Lt Morrison states that 1t will be far more splendid than the one III 1911, and brilliant as a full moon; that its tail will extend over 40 degrees, and when the head of the comet reaches the meridian its tail will sweep the horizon. The author contends that the electric and attractive powers of the comet will have very serious effects upon our atmosphere, in producing inundations, earthquakes, storms and tempests, volcanic eruptons and epide- mic diseases. In support the theory, he refers to the different appearances of this CO., met tor the last six hundred years, showing that in the comet years the phenomena pre- vailed 10 greatextent. The author sasys

 Relying on the correctness of our principles of cometary influence, we venture to predict the summer of 1885 will be re- markable for intense heat, which may be ex- Pc,'eu io uesiioy the hdfVestS in some parts of the world. That year will be noted for earthquakes, volcanoes, and other similar phenomena. The end of 1885, or early i'll 1886, may be expected to be remarkable for one or more extensive earthquakes. The winters of 1886 or '37, will bring frost such as has not been equalled for at least 20. years. The parts of the earth which we anticipate will suffer most, are situated 10 the North of Asia, and some parts of the Southern hemisphere. such ;s China.-Those parts of the earth in the vicinity of volcanoes are always subject to the electrical phenomena of earthquakes,
