IT might be interesting to some of the readers of your paper to know that this inoruiug, at am., Mr. Manning, the agent here for Messrs. F. and A. Swanzy, merchants, and myself, saw very fine comet bearing south-eact, and the tail of which was as long as my first finger, from tip to last joint; its head, bearing a little to the east, was pointing into tbe sea, and was about the height from the sea of my four fingers held at arm's length; it was very brilliant, and we seem to have seen it to great advantage. Unfortunately we had only a field glass to view it through, cud being also without instruments, were unable to take its proper altiude or bearings. We were standing on the verandah of the souse at the time, which is on the beach, and about forty feet above the level of the sea.
