Papers received by the San Francisco mail contained circumstantial accounts of the discovery of a satellite of the planet Mars by Professor Hall, of the Naval Observatory, Washington. It was first seen on the night of the 16th of August, and was visible < again on the 17th and 18th. Professor Hall fancied that he could discern a second satellite on the 18th, but of this he was not certain. Information has also reached the Melbourne Observatory to tho effect that one of the presumed satellites was observed by M. Henry at the Paris Observatory on the night of August 27th. At Melbourne an assiduous watch haß been kept, with relays of observers, but not a trace of either satellite has been Been. Mr. H. C. Ttussell, of the Sydney Observatory, has been equally unsuccessful.
