THE COMET OF 1811.
emlnliccnrei of the Kartli»|UaUr In th®
Mliiliilppl Viliry.
Tho oomet of 1811, of whioh so little
is l)con said, attracted great attention
in tho United Matos, and was of extra
ordinary brilliancy. It was attended
by somo very remarkahlo convul
sions of nature, and it was said
at tho time that it reached a point
within -10,000 miles of the surface of
tho sun. It was visible for tho first
time on tho 7th of September, 1811,
sud its situation was calculated by
Professor Wood, of William and Mary
college, Virginia, to bo in the same lino
with the polar star. Tho diameter of
its body, exclusive of tail, appeared to
bo one fourth of the moon. From this
timo to tho 21st of September, its dis
tance from tho sun increased, as well
as its brightness and tail. The comet
was sup|K)sed to have passed its peri
helion iHitween tho 4th and 12th of the
month witli tho amazing velocity of
100,000 miles per hour. It could bo
plainly seen in tho evening during tho
month of October. Prior to its np-
aranoe there woie unusual commo
tions in tho earth and tho atmosphere
variety of ways. A severe shock
of earthquake was felt in Virginia.
Both tho American and European sea-
coasts, as woll as mnny parts of tho in
terior of those continents, were unusu-
all harrassed by tromendous hurricanes
and storms of rain and hail, and a
strange agitation of the atmosphere
noticed. Hut the most remarkable
