return of that .rreat comet. whosc""periodieal

omers had agreed in anfi.ancing the return of
this comet in 1848 ; but it has'hitherto failed
to appear. In fact it is notso easy or simple
a matter to compute thog.yast cyclical periods
as some-superficial Dersooa who do'not look
beyond 'the, day of the yeajr which they live, !
may iniasmd.V We arar'oowever, assured by I

jwas wrong when he despaired of jits re-appear
ance, and put crape on his telescope ! We an
now informed that a celebrated and ecurate
computer -M, Jiomme, of JJ-iddleburg-with
a patience and deyotcdness truly .German, has
gone over all previous calculations,-and made
a new estimate; of the separate and combined
action .of . all the planets uponhis comet of
three hundred years and he has discovered
that it. was not lost Jto usf but only retarded in
its motion 1'.!. The fesult pftluH severe .labor
gives the, arrival of this? renowned and rare
visitor in August 1858, with, an uncertainty
of two years, , more or less; so that , between
1850 and I860 those who are then living may
hope to see the great luminary which in 1550
