COMMONWEALTH CABLES.
BURGLAR SENTENCED TO DEATH. Melbourne, September 19. Moore has been found guilty of an attempt to murder Mr Syme on August 21, and has been sentenced to death. Moore's counsel urged that he used the revolver to frighten Mr Syme. He did not intend to shoot. The jury recommended Moore to mercy, on the ground that he might have inflicted more serious harm than he did. THE GALE COMET. Sydney, September 19. The Government Astronomer, commenting on the suggestion that the comet is not new, but that discovered by Westphal in 1852, says that it is too early to attempt any comparison of the two, but if the elements computed are even approximately correct it cannot be Westphal's.
