PLANET OR COMET? To the Editor.
SIR,—On Monday last, the 18th inst., Venus was distinctly visible to the naked eye at 3 p.m. I was standing on the brow of a spur half-way up the hills, no trees near me, and a c ear, bright day, with tbe ■un shining. There was some little ddli culty in catching the position, but when on c you caught the distance from the yo-'iig moon, it was perfectly \ishd , and. I believu. had been so all day, and the day before.—Yours, etc..
iIiCNKY i\ WORSLEf. [No doubt it was the comet that was seen i>y Mr W-nsley.— Ed. Mail]
