A POLAR aurora of remarkable activity and brilliancy was observable here at 11.15 last night. The centre of energy at the time of origin was under Cassiopiea, a highly luminous streamer shooting upwards from the horizon, and covering, but not hiding the stars in that constellation. Brilliant white flickering streamers and rays, arising from the horizon, quickly spread towards the north-west, and an irregular shaped mass of crimson light, of an altitude of 45°, and many degrees in breadth, appeared, and suffused the northern hemisphere from Cassiopiea to Gemini. Between the horizon and the mass of crimson-coloured vapour the sky was of a light green hue, and upwards, through this area of greenish light, the rays and streamers shot.
