THE COMET.
Recent advices from England regarding the calculated orbit of the Pons-Winnecke Comet still promise a. display of meteors. Though the comet has already passed the point of nearest approach to the earth, when it was over twelve million miles away, tho tracks of tho two bodies actually cross each other, according to these calculations. The comet was, on IGth June, at a point through which the earth will pass on Saturday; and if there is a meteoric: train following the comet, the earth will traverse it on that day. Observers in Asia have been specially recommended to be on the lookout.
