A FINE aurora was observed here on the evening of the 14th inst., between 8h 30m and 9h 40m, which, in spite of bright moon-light, nearly equalled the splendour the display of September the 24th. During the early part of the evening the eastern quarter of the sky was covered with bands of light cirri, which had a general direction of E.N.E. to W.S.W., or nearly at right-angles to the magnetic meridian; it was among these clouds and in the N.E. that the beams of the aurora were first seen. At 9h Om a magnificent rose-coloured ray was noticed in the N.N.W., extending from the horizon through Vega towards the zenith. The three stars, ζ, &epsiv, and δ, of Ursa Major were for more than ten minutes enveloped in the crimson glow of the aurora.
