Riisiicinadiaacmates tia NEWPORT, The Bijou City, by the Sea Opens che Season. A ‘MODERN CLEOPATRA’S GALLEY. Something About Horses and Real Estate. SOLVING A CONUNDRUM low Moderate Living Can Be Had at Newport, Newport, July 8, 1874. ‘Tne “season” may be said to have fairly com- menced here, though the rush of transient travel has uot yet setin. We may look for that at the datter part ofthe month and all through August. Iu~he meantime “the regulars’—that 18 the cot- ‘teers and villa people, though almost everything ‘hat is not palatial im ite and style is termed a cottage here—know that this is the day and nour “ef real enjoyment; for Thames street is not Dow & eadiuck of carriage wheels as it will be @ little later, and the bath road is not a perpetual fog of ‘dust, and the bathhouses on the beach haven't to be waited for and watched for with lynx eyes and pounced upon at the first moment of vacancy. But this last item of convenience ts partially owing to the water temperature, which still retains the chill of spring, owing to the late-coming summer, ‘The stinging heat of “the fery Monday” seemed to make little difference in the temperature, and the throng of bathers who came down in 1ull con- fidence that day came out of the waves sadder and wiser than they went in. ON THE FOURTH excursionists from Providence and other places strolled over the beach, but the coolness of the day cooled the ardor for bathing. The excite- ment of the day, however, was in THE SAILBOAT RACE around the island of Conanicut, The boats were in four classes, and a prize was to be contested for by each boat, The light, graceful craft, deco- rated with flags, made one of the prettiest sights that the season will see, as they sped on past the Point. Betting ran high and was not entirely con- fined to the masculine members and friends. Tue pretty fashion which came in last year with a cer- tain set to pay morning or evening calls by yacht conveyance, wherever triends and acquaintances could be so reached at various points of the island, ts coming in again this season, though the excuse ofthe burning drought and the blinding dust of last year is wanting this summer. There was a good deal of “going out of the way” and a doubling ef distance for this notion, but It was, SOMETHING NEW, and that was enough, Perhaps it the young Rhode Islanders’ recent inveution—a paper boat light enough to be carried like the famous Rob Roy, on vhe shoulders—shali come into general use, we may yet see a party of summer visitors coming over irom Bateman’s to the Point, on Washington street, and, picking up their boat, make anvther d¢tour through tne town, going over to Compton, pernaps, or to some other quarter equally divergent. Beautiful as Newport is, the eparse watering Of some of the most lovely streets, bowery places which entice every pleasure driver, makes one long ior some new dispensation of law and order, and even tyranny, tn the way of water privileges. As for the Fort drive, where we follow meekly in each others dust, as Georgo Curtis said years ago, and which can be saia just as truly of to-day, who would think of taking it after the charming experience Of sailing over in a pretty, cushioned boat, and theu strolling about “spick and span,” with no grain of soil on skin or raiment, One can make just as fine a toilet in these yacht sailers—finer for that matter, for there is no crush of skirts, vo cloud of sand to filter through. But the owners of fine phaetons and resplendent lan- aus and blood horses will follow meekly this year as years betore in everybody’s dust, no’ matter what discomfort may result therefrom, jor the sake of displaying their splendors. Speaking of horses brings up at otice THE LITTLE NORWEGIAN SPAN owned by Dr. Channing, the only specimen of the breed in Newport, They are preity cream-colored ponies, with white manes tipped with black, cut from birth, until they stand up like a fox brush, and the fore iegs zebra striped. Tue Doctor is one of the heirs of the great Gibos estate, which, lying in truat so many years, has run up into the millions of accumulation by the yearly increase of land values, All the land lying over betweon the first and second beaches and out towards the Hanging Rocks, and back townward over the hull by the Marquand place is or was pretty much ai the property of the Gibos heirs. CHARLOTIE CUSHMAN’S house is built on jand bought from this estate two ears ago. A number of lots have been sold and me houses erected upon them, but still miles away stretches the Givbs estate to the border land of the beaches. When the visitor of to-day looks upon this goodly expanse of waving fields and rich pastures, whicn, every season growing richer in Mmoneyed estimates until tuey are becoming verit- ably ‘the fat of the land,” trast properties seem to be the finest things inthe world. Forty years ago, before Newport had begun to think of build- ing back over the Mil and beacnward, the prospect probably did not look so allur- ing. But to live iurther beachwdrd than * the Cliffs even to-day Is to live out of the range of lady sociai visiting; and though one may admire the Doctor's view irom the villa beyond the first beach, and agree that it is avery pretty thing to drive iu to town across shore behind the little Norwegians, yet when night falls and the kero- gene lamp is lignted, there will come a vain long. ing for Newport gas, which only lies a hand's breadth away, as it were, and the sound of the band at the Ocean House and other town delights, THE OCEAN 4a SB 1s the head centre of hotel life ciis year, opening Ipucn earlier van usual on account of the ciosing of the Atiantic. it is by no means filled yet, though it is the only hotel in the city of any pre- tensions, But every endeavor is to be made this Beason to revive something of the old time spirit, the jasbionable furor which once made Newport hotel life the rage, Latterly the cottage and vilia life has overborne this furor, and New York and New Orleans, instead of coming im force as formerly to the “lirst floors’ and the “piazza rooms,” rent Cliff cottages or avenue villas, The beginning of all this decline is to be traced to the “hotel prices,” which went up and up and up, and mever came down where one could make any computation of them except—on the bill. There has been an attempt to change this sufMciently to remove the giant growth of preju- dice; but the “rented house” manner of living has taken too strong a hold. The old Ocean, how- ever, 18 a fascinating place—a sort of gingerbread castle in effect, but 1ascinating—and this year, with new furbishing here and there, it will be the cen- tre of all the transient travel, and it 18 always the porch, a8 it were, of all Newport life. New York and Chicago and Paris meet together there in amity just now. From the latter heaven upou earth there is a live count, upon whose aristocratic Mneaments feminine Young America can ieast her | adoring eyes without stint as he takes his mild von- | stivutional up aud down the famous piazzas, THE CLIFF COTTAGES have been taken quite readily this season, though it 1s one of the most expensive ways of living to rent the so-called cottage at $1,000 per sedson and pay $4 per day for the restaurant serving, which 18 ‘one o1 the “features” of the QiuT houses, 3. B. tp ingot, the well Tiowe Phliaderpnia publisher, has rented a Clu cottage this summer and anotuer well known “magazine mah" is ex- pected, Philadelphia magazines must “pay,” to speak in Yankee vernacular, for pere we have Mr. Peterson, of Peterson's Magazine, lord of the beau- tiul De Lancy Kane manor, on the bath road, the most charming of all Newport's charm- ing places, and the most extensive and expensive, THE DRIVING ON THE AVENUE has not attained its full measure yet, though Mr. Cary’s four-in-haad, which appeared a week or more ago, caused a little excitement. The out-of- towners commence their arive earlier usually than the town residents, and drop off @ little earlier. This earlier start will this Season give one a pretty view Dow and then of a pretty feminine occupa- tion which is the height of fashion at present. Drive slowly and look here to the leit and you will see on the veranda a picture that might lave been painted by Sir Josnua Reynolds, Two, pernaps | more, young women sitting amidst the vine leaves, their own “vine and fig tree’ for the nonce, and busily stitching away at someting as neariy ap- proaching the old time tapestry embroldery as the ingenuity of the nineteeuth century girl can de- vise, It looks very pretty and artistic and all that tosee the yards oi gayly Worked material dropping down over the chair and the bejewelled fingers— for it is only THE JEWRULED PEOPLE abo cap afford wis idle Work—drilling in and out | ashort NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1874—TRIPLE SHEET. of the vay silks, as they work their “tent stitch” and cross stitch,” but it looks a rather omni heaves proceeding, and suggests future wor! jor the oculist in @ rather unpleasant manner. There ts nothing that these fair workers don’t turn off with their tent stitch. Not only all vhe old array of sofa cushions and tidies, afghans, &c., but an entirely new “notion,” which seems to take the place o! the endiess slipper and suspender git to the masculine friend, has come up, in the form of a napkin holder, which is really an embroi- dered strap, with @ hook at each end, to which the nap<din is attached, the whole apparatus to be hang about the neck of the masculine recipient when bo is feeding. That really seems to be the most fitting word to ve used in the connection, The !asbion 18 French, 80 questionable compliment of the gilt may be treely translated. But, outside ofall these idle occupations of the jewel people and the carriage people, there 18 QUITE ANOTHER STYLE OF LIFE at Newport. One of the millionnairesses, a season or two ago, When the question of the horse rail- road was brought up to be put down again by the carriage folk, said quite’seriously, when the argu- ment of the neoaseley, for an easy means of convey- ance to the poorer class of day visitors was raised, “Let the poor people go somewhere else, Newport is for rich people.” AS @ matter of course the rich people have had their way to@ great extent, The horse ratiruad has been defeated because of the contemplated injury to the carriage driving, and as it ts the car- riage driving people who have made the great modern prospert Newport nobody can deny their rightof way; but that there was another Way ont, Where no property could be injured and no fastidious taste Offended, there 1s also no deny- ing, and that way could have beeh found by mak- ind @ longer detour skirting ‘Thames street and the Bath road, but landing the car passenger on the hill or the beach at bis pleasure, thas saving the tired excursionist the long jolt {n the dusty old omnibus ail these years at the extortionate price of fifteen cents per person. This year the day ‘excursioning has grown into such ‘‘a feature”? that the omnibus has been replaced by a light, airy beach wagon, similar to that used at Central Park. Every day now until September boatioads of people will come down from Providence and all along shore with these excursionists. ‘he first thing to dois to take # seat in the beach wagon and “over to the beach.” Back again, there is Hartmann’s on the hill, where @lunch at Parker and Fifth avenue prices can be had; or, if one is familiar with New- port, there are odd little shops—quaint, old-lash- loned little piaces, like the oid-lashioned Et pastry cook shops, down Thames street—wh a cup of tea and home-made bread and butter and a great wedge of golden colored cake or other do- mestic dainty can be had for an old-tashioned price. And neing there the visitor may fancy that he is in the old days, when Washington made Thames street bis dally promenade on that lamous visit of his, so queer and quaint are the surround- ings even now. Newport is not alone for the rich ople, great as the outcry is at season prices. fhe person of iimited means may rent early in the summer asimple, upfashionable, but comiortable house, for the year. He may occupy it for the sea- son and rerent to townspeople at thesame mod- erate rate, This way SOLVES THE CONUNDRUM of moderate living at Newport, for the markets are not unreasonable. And with this manner of living one may get some of the most cultivated society, for everybody sooner or later goes to Newport ior the charm that 1s always there of unequalied climate and the fascination ot the old city itself, which dozes along the wharves in the old fashion, pay woman, too, be she of the ultra ftashionables or in a simpler state of society, it she have a shred of womanly taste, will turn kindly to a watering place which gives her such a pret:y range of shops where she can buy, not unreasonybly, everything irom A FRENCH HAT to a shoestrmg. Newport in the season offers something to everybody. If you are blue and bouk- ish you can go up to the old Redwood Librasy and read books tne French officers read ih the days of the Revolution of 1774 or the morning’s HERALD of 1874, If you are a lover of nature and want quiet and rest you can get it at the Point on Washington street, Colonel Higginson’s old port, which, thus named, though it has a very viny and convivial navor, is the very acme of quict and—dulness. If you are fashionable you can have a bit of Paris and | London and New York society compressed into a drive’s round for your pleasure. And if you are } young and girlish and deliciously foolish you can have all those pretty youths at the torpedo station to look at and flirt with. What more can young jeminimity ask ? And what more can any one ask than to be separately suited at this rate ? SEASIDE AND COUNTRY. pee eee Visitors are flocking to Richland Springs, Forty-eight excursions to Cape May are already arranged.

W. Xoberts and daughter, William Kaufmawn, of Philadelphia, and S. M Coleman, of the navy. It is said that there is a cliff near Eternity Bay, Canada, where the likenesses of old Tecum- seh Sherman and the Fenian General O’Neill are cut on its base. That is a base Insult to loyal Canucks. Those journals that appropriate from these col- umns ‘‘Seaside’’ notes by the wholesale have been eclipsed by the New Haven Union, which pub- lishes a fourth of a column of them that appeared originally in the HERALD nearly two months ago, Among the guests at the Seven Springs Moun- tain House, Orange county, are Mr. G. B. Elkins and family, of Brooklyn, and A. F. Kennersley and family; A. Chopin and family, of Twenty-third street, and Alva Vatman and family, of New York. Among those who will sojourn this season at Milford, Pike county, Pa, are Judge Moore and family, Mrs. Belle Weaver, John M. Hicks, importer, No. 39 Walker street, and family, and Mr. and Mrs. Henry D. Peck, No. 251 Washington street, Brooklyn. A party of sportsmen last week, near Stillwater, on Lake George, captured 300 sninersin one day, one trout weighing eleven pounds, another eight pounds, another nine pounds.

The sloop Katie, formerly of the Atlantic Yacnt Club, has been purchased by Mr. W. H. Burk, of Detroit, and added to the register of the Interna- tional Yacht Club of that place. The new sloop Fannie, owned by Mr. Charles H. Mallory, is lying off the foot of Court street, Brook- lyn. It is the opinion of many yachtsmen who have seen her under way that her rig should be in- creased, as at present it is insuMctent to properly test her sailing qualities. The new sloop being finished at the yard of Kirby, Rye, will be handed over to her owner, Mr. Danici Edgar, Jr., in about ten days. This yacht is 70 feet on deck, 60 feet on water line and 20 feet beam. Her mainmast is 79 feet, mainboom 66 feet, gail 36 poke topmast 36 feet, and bowsprit, outovaro, 36 The schooner Jessie has been purchased by Dr. Biiven and added tu the Brooklyn Yacht C.ub fleet. The Jessie is now at the yard ol Messrs. Potllon Brothers, undergoing extensive repairs. She will have new masts, new sails, new rigging, and her cabin will be thoroughly reconstructed and newly | jurnished. ‘The schooner Tidal Wave, Mr. William Voorhis, | Y.C., 18 down from Nyack, and will svon go on cruise to the eastward. The sloop Coming, Mr. R. W. Holmes, B.Y.C., has gone to Nyack for repatrs, When in Oyster Bay on | the Fourth Mr. Holmes received many visitors, all of whom, he says, “pronounced tie boat roomy, be 3 pleasant and a success.” © More conspicuous yachts at anchor off the foot ot Court sireet, Brooklyn, yesterday were the idier, Cofitiora, Peeriess, Estelle, Triton, Fannie, Kate and Orion. ae g the Brooklyn cruise a gig race will be | rowed by representatives from the several yacht | crews. At present there is # likelihood of this contest taking place in the harbor of New London, and, a8 in years gone by, it is expected to be pleasant and exciting. More than the usual in- terest will be attached to the merry struggle, ina much as in the gig from the yacht Sadte there will sit the well-kuown amateur oarsmen George Dunning and John M, Sawyer, who have already gone into training for the event. The new sloop Cora, owned by ex-Mayor K. C, | Barker, of Detroit, and built by Mr, McGiehan, | ot Pamrapo, N. J., revently won two races in the | waters of Put-in-Bay and Lake St. Ciair. The first | Was on the 29th of June and was for the Interna- tiona: flag, yachts of the border States and Canadas being allowea to compete, When the Cora | beat the entire fleet and plenty to spare. Her second victory was on the Fourth of July, being the regatta of the Internationa Yacht Ciat, of ning the Godwin Cup. The Cova’s success has iniu-ed still more life, if that is possible, into the yachting circies of that section, and those who have owned the champion time of her arrival feel’ much annoyed because of the Cora’s speed and wyeatherly aual- Detroit, of which Mr. Barker ts commedore, Win- | yacuts up to the | tes, and are now anxious to match their boats against the new comer. Mr, Barker expresses his intention of satisiying all such, and will sail them as jast as time will permit. ‘The first of these challenge races will come off on Lake St. Clair August 5, when the Cora will meet the sloop yacht Cuthbuort, and, though the latter is much larger than the former, Mr. Barker thinks with equai luck he will keep the Godwin mug. Mr. Isaac McGlenan, son of the builder, sailed the Cora in her recent victories, ‘The Portland Yacht Club 13 now on its annual cruise, having leit Poruand on Monday morning ast.

Creat Expectations of the Astronomers. vale io VIEWS OF VARIOUS CORRESPONDENTS, | oa What English Royalty Thinks of the Phenomenon. [ Last night was murky, and the biue vault, stars, comet and all were screened from observation. This was a pity, because, according to the catcu- Tations of the astronomers, the tail should have undergone such an elongation as to ve visible to the most nuked ¢ye, Some conspiracy is on foot among the jealous constellations of the heavens to deprive us of @ square, honesc look at her Celestial Highness. That they are envious of the admiration which both hemispheres of this globe are now paying to the nebulous stranger is evident irom the conduct o! the Great Bear, THE GREAT BEAR'S NOSE. ‘The comet, it would seem, pulled the nose of the Great Bear, andeverything has been topsy-turvy in the heavens since then. The Twins | Mave been very troublesome, distracting | the attention of the comet ever and anon | from tier regular course, and as for the Lion, he has been laying in wait for years past to pounce | upon the tail of the comet, The great friend of the latter was Mercury. Only for him it is hard to say what might nave become of her. But she 1s all right now and intends to keep so for the re- mainder of her journey. AMONG THE PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH. The natives of Bucks county, Pennsylvania, are greatly exercised over the cometary visitation. They are well aware that Andrew Jackson is now President of the United States, and they fear that the appearance of this comet means war on the General’s part against England, France and Russia, Tne German residents of Bucks county are troubled | With @ superstitious belief that the comet means | the mighty shade oi Napoleon I. coming back from St. Helena to avenge the blunders of his nephew. In the South it is thought the return of Jef Davis and the appearance o/ the comet make an ominous coimeidence. ENGLIAH BOYALTY ON THE COMET. The Prince of Wales was approached by a re- porter in London and asked his opinion of the comet. He said he had none to give; but his | brother, the Duke of Connaught, who was well ac- | quainted with Brian Boroihine, whose star, 4s Tom | Moore said, never on the battlefield had set, might furnish all the desired information. Tae Duke of Connanght satd he had seen the reat Bear in his last visit to Russia and quite a | number of minor consteliations, but hang him if | he saw any comet. I, as he observed, they intend | tomake me permanent Lord Lieutenant of ire- | land, I shall study up tne subject, A THIN Tall. Professor Chapman says that the light of the tail is so faint that he has not succeeded in getting any spectrum of it, When a telescope is directed to the tail the worst of it 18 you see through it. You see no tangible object, only a faint, diffused light. And the more powerfnl the telescope you employ the more you don’t see anything at all. PRINCIPLE OF THE SPECTRUM. The principle of the spectrum is in need of some- explanation, According to one astronomer every substance In nature may be burned. While it is burning it gives out a light whose wave length is different from every other substance. The waves of one burning substance, therelore, travel more quickly than those of another burning sub- Stance, and this difference is detected by the prism, Those that travel Jastest go to the violet end ofthe prism, and those which travel slowest to the red end, the waves of intermediate veloci- ties going to the blue, green and yellow. I! this were all, however, the spectrum would be ot little use in science, But these facts are supplemented | by oné of @ most remarkable character. Where | light has to pass through the vapor of any sub- stance a dark line appears in the place where the bright line would appear if the substance were incandescent. The dark lines in the solar spec- trum, therefore, prove to us not only that iron, soda, gold, potassium, &€., are burning in the sun, but that the sphere of lignt is surrounded by a cloud composed of the vapors of all these bodies, WHAT THE DUDLEY OBSERVATORY THINKS, We have an observatory at Albany called the Dudley Observatory, and the whole force of the institution concluded the evening before last that, as seen in the equatorial telescope, the tail had a Jength of three and one-half de- grees, or about seven times the diameter uf the moon, The nucieus was bright as a star of the fourth magnitude. As noticed in several previous comets, the nucieus was not in the centre 01 the head, but eccentrically situated in the sun’s direction, and was fan-shaped, with the apex, which is the brightest part, toward the tail. Surrounding this nucleus is the coma or envelope, ot a milky color, which is elongated in a direction | from the sun into a tail. The tail spreads out quite | wide, and near its end several stare o! the eighth and tentn magnitude are distinctly seen througn | it. On the side of the nucleus, opposite to the sun, is adark streak of the width of the nucleus divid- ing the tail for about one-third of its length. These telescopic appearances are similar to what was seen in the great comet of 1858. . The nucleus, irom which the cometary matter flows, has the appearance of emitting from its brightest portion a s‘ream of matertal which takes the form of a gas flame of a fan shape, and which gradually loses its brilliancy until it 18 lost in the coma, making it impossible to decide where it ceases, Observations Obscured at the National Observatory. WASHINGTON, July 8, 1874. The night was unfavoravle for observation of the comet. A thin strata of clouds obscured the path of “Old Codger,” untit he disappeared below the horizon. There were a number of visitors at the observatory, all of whom went away disappointed at.the announcement that the Pause was not visible even through the strong JUSSCK.

The effects of the visit of this comet may be terribly serious and awe-inspiring. Frightful tor- nadoes may sweep over our earth like the besom of destruction, laying waste whoie towns and cities; aud What DOW prowises to be one of the most bountiiu! harvests ever known may be blasted by biting frosts or cut down by storms or hail, while the ocean may be sirewn with Wrecks Jrom sweeping hurricanes. All this may happea, | and what is still more dreadful to contemplate 1s the eflect that the coutact of the comet with our earth may produce upon the surrounding atmosphere. ft is a well known scientific iact that the atmosphere ig composed of two most inflammable elements, oxyge’ ane Bitro- en, united in a certain proporuon, ane at when by aby cause tits proportion shall be destroyca the whole body of aycumambieat air will ignite and explode \ike & Vast magazine, in an instant, “in the Wwihkling of = eye,” around the whole eartl like @ flash of jightning, producing an intense heat—a heat vy which the granite hills aud mountains shali_ be dis- solved like snow—all animal and vege- etabie life be instantly destroyed, and the who evrth be reduced to a bissing, seething, boiling bedy of molten mass, Withatemperature of 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit, an earth unlike that of Byron's d:eam—which was oot all a dream’?’— The bright sun was extinguished, and the stars Dad wancer darkling in the eternal space, ayiess apd pathless, and the ivy earth Swung blind and blackening in the jmoonless air.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HBRALD:— Seeing so much in your paper about comets and the wondertul theories in regard to them, I desire, although making no pretensions as an astronomer, to give my theory, which no doubt has been thought of by our learned men, but cast aside as too commonplace for men of their cloth, who would rather theor.ze on comets being composed of matter so transparent that they can be seen loosely held together that stars can be seen on the other side ofthem through the spaces in their matter, like | looking through a sieve, or they would rather theorize that after all they do not amount to much, for when condensed they are nothing more than a handful. Becoming ratner muddled with ajl these vivid theories and believing it will not add much to the mutidie, | am desirous of givin; my thcory, which, although crudely expressed ani commonplace, has at least a8 muct commo, gense n 1t as some of the theories advanced. To explain my theory, which, of course, is the correct one, I will commence thusly: Away on the outskirts of our solar system are, we are told by astronomers, Neptune and perhaps others which are removed a Jew miles still jurther from the sun, and seemingly cannot receive from our sun all the light and heat requisite. Now during the motion of these distant planets of our system, in their orbits around the | sup, they must come within the influence of the light and heat of other suns, thereby receiving from these outside suns all the ight and heat necessary, and — especially 80, too, as we a taugbt to believe that all the fixed Blars are suns to other systems. Now, if this theory is correct (and why not?), the tail part of the buainess is soon disposed of. Thus scientists Bay tilat tue atmosphere of the earth reaches be- yond it forty-five miles; why not 4,500? Also those pianets of our system which are so mueh lurther | removed from the sun than the earth are much larger, and no donbt have a deeper and denser atmosphere. Then, when one o/ these planets of our systenl comes sufficiently bear a sun of some other system the light of that sun, this denser atmosphere, bas precisely the same effect to the eye as a Drummond tight on a foggy might, only the atmosphere, being denser near the body of the planet, is brightest there, and fades away as the atmosphere of the planet becomes more rarified, causing it to appear to planets in that other system as a comet «oes to us, You can now perceive irom the above that my idea is this—Some distant planet of some other system comes within the range of the lignt and heat of our sun, and the tail is either its dense atmos- nere iilaminated by light from our sun or else it @ flreman’s torcblight procession, URANUS, THE COMET OF 1811, 2 Mia The Great Earthquake in the Missis- sippi Valley—Hurricanes and Sship- wreck on the Atlantic Coast—A Bril- Mant Skyrocket. ‘The comet of 1811, of which so little has been said, attracted great attention in the United States and was of extraordinary brilliancy, It was attended by some very remarkable convulsions of nature, and it was said at the time that it reached a point | within 49,000 miles of the surface of tne sun. It was visible for the first time on the 7th of September, 1811, and its situation was caicuiatea by Professor Wood, of Willlam and Mary College, Virginia, to be in the same line with the Polar Star. The diameter 0! its body, exclusive of tail, appeared to be one-fourth of the moon. From this time to the 2ist of September its atstance trom the sun increased as well as its brightness and tail, The comet was supposed to have passed iis perinelion between the 4tn and 12th of the month with the amazing velocity of 400,000 miles per hour. It could be plainly seen in the evening during the month of October. Prior to its appear- ance there were unusual commotions in the earth and the atmosphere in a variety of ways. A severe shock of earthquake was felt in Virginia. Both the American and European seacoasts, as weil as many parts of the interior of those con- tinents, were unusually harassed by tremendous hurricanes and storms of rain and hail, anda strange agitation of the atmosphere was noticed, Butthe most remarkable phenomenon attending the comet of 1811 was the eartaquake of New Madrid, in the Valley of the Mississippi, which destroyed nearly 200 miles of the navigation of that river, It presented one of the few examples of the incessant trembling of the ground for several successive months . PAR AWAY PROM ANY VOLCANO. Over an extent of country stretching for 300 miles from the mouth of the Ohio River the ground rose and sunk, and lakes were tormed aud again drained. The surface burst open in fissures that were sometimes over half a@ mile long; trom these fissures mud and water were thrown as high as the tops of the trees, During the continuance of these convulsions the inhabitants distinguished two classes of movements—the vertical and hort- zontal. The latter were regarded as far more deso- lating than the former. The disturbance cor tinued over what has been since called the ‘eGnk country” until March, 1812, when they Geagea, An eye-witness tal that subsequentiy ¢ some ot the Ce Ca po ters of the Mississipp se ‘rangiy impregnated itn te effiuvia Oo fintter supported to have undergone | ation as to be unfit jor use; that ‘ig bed of the Mississippi was thrown Upward tn 4 lumber of places tormerly deemed Thiathomadle so high as to impede the Nervous laajeg and gentlemen who have begun lately to attemu prayer meetings with unusual alK- Bence andyyeal will ‘be relieved on iearning that | the tall gf the comet will not come nearer to the earth, than 21,000,000 miles. At this distance it Wc be dificult for the flukes to reach any- ‘soay in this neighborhood. Professor Safford has made the estimate given above. He is a compe- tent astronomer, and may Sately be trusted, Even ifthe earth should pass through the tail of the | comet there would probably be no sensible phe- nomenon. Protessor Satford further intormed Tribune reporter Who questioned him on these thane that the perihelion passage is likely to be ater rather than sooner; that there is no estab- Jished relation bet n the distance of a comet from the sun at the time or its passage and the length of its tail; that the outline of the tail has more the shape of a catepary than of a conoid: in revo- | lution; that we cannot equate the length of the tall against its breadth by any system of co-or- dinates, If this is not enough to dissipate ail alarm there is no use of talking more about it. Some people will not listen to a clear, simple statement of facts when once an apprehension of bodily injary is aroused. Very Badly Scared.

A considerable tract of country was inundated with water waist deep, through whica the terrified inhabitants were forced TO WADE TO HIGHER LANDS FOR SAFETY. The water Was so warm as to evidence the pre- vious action of subterranean fire, and so strongly tinctured with combustible matier as to resembie fiuids impregnated with puiverized gunpowder, | and a mountain of considerable height had arisen in one night from the level of what had been berore | a plain, Similar convuisions extended toagreater or less dégree over the Miadie, Southern and West- ern States. A dreadiul tornado passed over the city of Charleston, 8. C., which was marked in its course by destruction and death. Several hurrt- canes were experienced off the American coast, which dismasted and otherwise severely injured Many vessels at sea, and some were totauy wrecked, A Violent shock of earthquake, felt at Nashville, Tenn, m Octover, 1811, caused great damage. But it was in the West Indies and South America that the heaviest calamities occurred. ‘The city of Caracas war almost entirely destroyed fy SSesrenquaxe and over 12,000 of the inhabitants killed, A_ terrible volcano burst out near the Island of St. Michael's, tity of lava, asiies and rocks thrown up from thie volcano @ new island was formed several miles tw circumference.

Sone An Important Discovery at the Nathan Mansion, en Twenty-third Street—A Probable Clew to the Murder. During the past two or three weeks, as previ- ously noted in the H&RALD, workmen have been engaged in demolishing the front wall and making changes within the jong-deserted Nathan mansion, on Twenty-third s*reet, near Fi/th avenue, with a view to transiorming the stracture into @ swore. To-day probably the last block of the | handsome brown stone frent will be torn down and the materia! shipped away. The room in which the mysterious murder was perpetrated | some years ago, and where the rich Nathan breathed his last, ts now fully exposed to public view, and hundreds of passers- by that way, who have not yet lorgotten the hor- rible crime committed within those walls, stop on the sidewalk and street and imquire of others “Which is the room in which Nathan was mur- | dered?” and there they stan'l for some time gazing | abstractedly upon tie inside walls, seemingly | thipking that they (the walls) could tell something of the crime solong locked up ia some living or dead bosom, But dead men tell no tales, we hear, and itis not strange if brick donot, But if they could! A HERALD reporter passing by the build- ing yesterday met Mr. F. H. Seagrist, the com tractor, who lives on East ‘Nineteenth street and who revealed an incident which of tt- seli if not of suficient importance to give @ new ciew to the perpetration ot the crime, which | has for so many years been snrouded in the dark- est mystery, 18, at any rate, of sufficient interest to deserve menuon, Day belore yesterday, it seems, according to Mr. Seagrist’s story, as the | dumb waiter was being moved froin its position— | the position doubtiess waich 1t had occupied since | the night of the tragedy—a workman discovered concealed in Ba MYSTERIOUS PACKAGE, which, to appearauce, hud been there for years, Naturally enough, his curiosity was aroused, though slightly at first, untii he drew the strange bundle out of its dark corner, and on a hasty giunce perceived tt to be a night shirt, completely dyed with blood. Mr. Seugrist then had his attention directed to the discovery and showed it to some | iriends yesterday, and many were the conjectures with regard to 1t and its !ormer possessor. It is moving more nor less than a common nigntsnirt, made of rather coarse linen, and one of the siceves had the appearance of having been torn or cut considerably in an effort to get it away from some person's body, itis not merely staimed, but looks as though it had been dipped in blood. Several gentienen inspected the mysterious piece of linen | Yesterday. One of these inclined to opine that it must be the identical n birt worn by + THE DEC ) NaTHAN ; onthe night of his assassimation, and that his | murderer tore )t off his vietun’s body the night he coinmitied tae horrivie ine, and, in a moment oO} excitement, hd tt where it Was revealed so re- cently, itis more than probable that if tt had | come tn possession of the police it would subse- | quently have beeoa produced. Can it be possivie } that the bloody shirt will afford a new clew to the | mysterious murder? Up to last evening the police | had not been advised o1 the discovery by Mr. Sea- | grist, who has taken the relic in cuargé, and, who- | Wil, no doubt, willingly exhioit it to any persons | desiring to sec tt. Mr. Seagrist seems to think that the discovery is an important one. THE WESTCHESTER DEFALCATION. . No Tidings Yet of the Greenburg Re- ceiver of Taxes—A Compromise Effected with His Hondsmen—Developments Regarding the Absconder. Nothing bas as yet been learned touching the | whereabouts of Daniel King, the Receiver of Taxes | for Greenburg, Westchester county, whose alsap- pearance and defaicatioa were set forth in the | HEBALD of yesterday. A meeting oO tie | sureties, numbering some twenty-two, who | Went on bis bond tor $390,000, Was held at | Dobb’s Ferry on Tuesday evening, at which it was announeed that tiie abscunder's books, | upon eXamination, showed a deficiency of 400. In addition to this amount King’s accounts return taxes “not received” $18,0¢0, and it cannot | be definitely known for several months how | much, if auy, of this sum has been appropriated + by the missing defaulter. It seems that King, who was one of the most popular republicans in his town, owns & house and lot at Ashiord, worth about $2,500, and on which there is a mortgage of $1,000. His bond was of course a lien on the prop- erty, and the Sheriff had atready taken stepa tow- ards its public sale. To save this for the wife and children of the absconder, his tather has offered the sureties half of the amount ($6,400) known to | be taken, Which offer was at once accepted by | them, The remaining half wit be made good to | the county by King’s boadsmen, it now appears that King’s employer, a pickle manufacturer in Barclay street, New York, paid him $3,500 on the Ist inst., the absconder repre- senting to him that he was desirous of setthng up his accounts at White Plains, Other little matters have leaked out regarding King's habits when visiting the city, which tend to disprove the | | | | reputation he enjoyed among hus friends as a faith.

He ‘was arrested on a warrant by Officer Daksa, of the Court squad, and a hearing had yesterday after- noon, Praet’s brother appeared as a witness In the prisoner’s bebull, aud stated to the Court that the complainant Was oi very bad character and could not be believed under oath, Josephine is petite in stature, witu piercing black eyes and pre- possessing appearance.
