VISIBLE IX AUSTRALIA. Sydney, April 33. A comet, supposedly AVolfe's is visible to the naked eye in various parts of the Commonwealth. Wanganui, Yesterday. The director of the Wanganui Observatory declares that the comet now visible to tlie naked eye is not Wolfe’s comet. The latter is very faint, and not in the same portion, of the heavens, although visible with a large telescope at the same hour. Mr Ward adds that credit for the discovery of the strange comet appears to be due to Dr. Hector, of the Hutt, Wellington, who tirst reported it.
