i The Comet and its Future. . f , We have been informed by (wo gentlemen ofthi. vicinity, that ,on carefully observing the, cornel for several successive - evenings, iHe'y"coold distinctly ’ see flashes pf light, timed like pulsations', extending every’ half ppinute or so from . the nucleus or orb, for about a degree or a degree and a half up (he tail; This might have been a visual decep tion, but we believe that something of the Kind has been .also reported by telescopic observers. As everything that relates to this beautiful. spectre of the ’ skies, which now presents so brilliant and attractive an ap pearance, possesses interest for readers in every -class of we subjoin a few extracts,.from a’ long communication in ilia. Charleston Courier of Saturday last— merely embracing points, however, which we dQ.jbot remember to have seen elsewhere. Tfie writer says: ! ' “The comet is now at its perihelion, the nearest point to the Sun, about fifty millions of miles from the Sun, and moving through space with its greatest velocity, about 86 miles per second; The Comet’s distance from the earth is now about seventy millions of miles, and hence the tail, 12 degrees long, must be about fifteen millions of miles in length.” The subjoined. interesting journey of the ce'esliai stranger through the regions.of in finite space or ether, is traced : • “The Comet will continue to approach the «arth until the lllb October, when its dis tance will be least, about fifty millions of miles, and its brightness greatest, about double what it is at present, and its daily ap parent motion most rapid. In the first fort night of October it will describe an arc of nearly 60 degrees, more than equal to the fengihof its whole course in the preceding four months. After the 11th the Comet will recede from both the Earth and the Sun, and will rapidly diminish in brightness"; it will cross the planeof the Earth’s orbit on the 18<h, being then in its descending node, passing from the north to the south side of that plane, the ascending node having been passed about the first of April, more than si* months before. Its course through the heavens will carry it, moving from right to left, very near to Arcturus, in the knee of ■Bootes, through the Northern parr.of Libra, •crossing, the ecliptic at its descending node in Scorpio, five or six degrees to the left of Aotares, passing along the eastern side of the figure of the Scorpion as represented in the globes during the last part of October, in November it will proceed inlo those south ern regions of the heavens which do not rise above our horizon, but observatories in the southern hemisphere will probably be able to follow it to the end of the year. By re ferring to these constellations in the heavens, any clear evening,about 7 o’clock, its future course may ba traced. Arcturus is the bright' red star nearly west at that hour, fifteen degrees above the horizon. The comet will be very near it on the 4th and sth of October—possibly pass over it. Scorpio is in the southwest, near the horizon. The planet Venus will be near Antares on the 16th, and on the 19lh the planet and the Comet will be quite near one another. The path of the comet pierces the plane of the orbit of Venus, at a point near the orbit itself, and Venus and the cornel are both ap proaching this point. Venus will pass it first, about the I2lh, and the comet only one week after; but this interval will give ample scope the latter to pass without collision, its ttain included, for at the rale at which these travellers on the celestial highways proceed, the first twenty-four and the second thirty si* miles per second, when nearest, on the 18th, they will yet be eight or ten millions of miles asunder. If however, further ob servation show that the comet’s motion is more rapid than supposed above, or the at traction of the planet accelerate its mode of ■ travel, the proximity may be greater than we have staled. It will be worth while watching the comet at this lime, to observe whether it goes'through any marked physical changes. A Lovb of a Pbince. —Jung Bahadoor, (he Prince of. Nepaul, is expected in Eng land early in the Spring on a visit to the English Court. The Prince, who, it will be remembered, was lately created a C. 8., is married to the eldest daughter of the Rajah of Coorg, now resident this country,— The Rajah’s second daughter, the Princess Gauromma, is being educated under the auspices of her Majesty, and placed by her will with Mrs, Drummond, at Kew, for that purpose. We have heard rather a romantic story connected with the reason of Jung Bahadoor assisting the English with his brave band of Ghoorkas, but it is from such an ex cellent source that we place all reliance in it. It is to the effect that, during the slay of the Nepaulese Prince in this country, he became deeply smitten with a lady of great rank and beauty, and offered her marriage. Birth and creed alike forbade the union with the noble Asiatic, but, ere he qbitted the shores of England, he prayed the’ acceptance of a small token of his esteem, a beautiful Ori ental ring, which the Udy with much re luclance accepted. It was accompanied by the singular promise that if she ever had a command to make, a wish to be carried out, the return of the talsmanic ring to his High ness would insure its due performance. As the story goat, the lady, in high rank, re turned the jewel, with the wish that Jung Bahadoor, would revenge the full and horrid •laughter of her countrywomen at Cawnpore. How the Prince has fulfilled his promise every Englishman knows, and will testify their estimation of his daring when he reaches England. —Court Journal.

Dr. Macintosh. —The lecture of this gentleman on “ Barns and Ins Poetry,** given In the Court riousc, Wednesday evening of last week and repeat, cd on Monday evening last, gave unbounded satis faction to oar people.' The lecture evinces not only literary ability of a high order, but fine analytical powers joined to that subtle discrimination which invariably characterizes the true PoeUSoul. The Doctor enriched the lecture (if (bat be not treason in a Shakspearian sense) with some of the sweetest of the poet’s lays—singing *• Highland Mary” and “ Willie brewed a peck o* Malt,” with marked, yet diverse effect. He concluded with a recitation of “ Lord Ullin’s Daughter,** the.which was received with prolonged applause- On the succeeding evening he recited a satirical poem entitled 11 Napoleon Le Grand 1 * to a good au dience, of which, as is usual in Wellsboro, the la dies largely contributed. The poem is racy with satire and rich in that wit vylnch docs its work up on the risibles of the Inner, rather than the Outer Man. Il'should be read in the drawing room, of a winter night. The Doctor is an admirable reader. On Saturday evening, al the urgent solicitation of friends, the Doctor read Macbeth, and to a full hou«c. The highest praise we can bestow upon the perform, ance is, that it disclosed more of the animus of that great drama, to our perceptions, than the vaunted acting of Forrest. It must be remembered that to read Macbeth, is to lake upon one's, hands not only Macbeth, but the labors of a company of Star ac tors. With these facts in mind,’the performance entitles the Doctor to high praise as an artiste. Dr. M. will repeat his lecture on Burns, at Tioga on Thursday evening. 21st, Inst., at "LawfenccvUle on Friday eve following. He will visit Corning, Addison, Horncllsville, Wellsville and Coudersport, next week.' We bespeak full houses for him wher ever be may go, and can "assure our friends that they will find him as genial and kindly in soul as the best lays of bis illustrious countryman are gen ial in sentiment and beaming in inspiration. The President’* Bull. The President’s Bull! Is the President n hus. bandman engaged in improving the breed of cattle?

Partly bo, but principally, our worthy James is an Irishman, and the Irishman and the- Irish bull are one and inseparable, you know. The -President issues his bull annually and tethers him out in the green fields of politically backslidden Bradford —“ for a few days, only !” as the itinerant Dagncrrcan has it. Men are said to become the prey of strange fan cies in the mild winter of Sid age. Mr. Buchanan became the prey of a strange fancy a few weeks ago. It seems that he fancied h.mself a political Cain and heard the blood of defunct Whiggery cry aloud to him from the ground. Day and night it flaunted the pitiable old man, and at last he issued his Bull to sootbo the troubled manes of murdered Whiggery. 44 Go,” said he to the patriotic D, M.—- 44 Go thou np to the land of Bradford where the 44 the forces of those pestilent fellows, Wilmol and 14 Grow, arc arrayed against the unwashed and the ** unterrihed democracy—to whom the nation is in- 1 44 debted for all its glory !

Yours is a prouder victory than Napoleon ever won- All honor to the Republicans of Tioga! The County, —The defeat of Mulatto-democracy In Tioga is utter. The “ grease spot,” that unctu ous residuum sometimes discovered marking the place where the last kick of a parly was made, as far as Hunkerism is concerned, is wiped out. That party had the field mostly to itself. Its members scoured the county day and night, sowing slanders broadcast and exhausting every art to create disaf. lection in the Republican ranks. To counteract Ibis, with the exception of Mr. Power, not one of the Republican candidates lifted a finger, so to say, until the eleventh hour. The effect of this indo lence may be seen in the falling off in the majority for the candidates for Assembly. On the whole,jit equals the victory of lust fall. Then we elected our local ticket bv an average majority of 1,900. The average majority for the local ticket just elected is about 1,800. Wilmot bad 3,284 votes in the county —Grow has 3,211; —a decrease of 73, only! The majority of Mr. Grow over the Mulatto Slate ticket (and this majority, next to the average majority for the ticket, omitting Stale officers, is the best measure of parly strength) is 1,762 ! His majority over competitors is 2,422 ! The entire vole of the county, last year, was 4,477; this year it is 4,533 less by 56, only than the entire poll ol 1857. This Is indeed a glorious victory! Well may the Re publicans be proud oi it! All honor to the masses, ever true to Freedom where they are intelligent. The election of Mr. Power by upward of 1000 majority, is a victory in itself. All Molaltodom combined to defeat him. His triumph crushes that party completely oat. We will pass over their bul lyinga, their bluff and bluster; let it go.

Pennsylvania has elected the nnii-Buchanan Stale Ticket by some Twenty, Thousand ma jority, though many of the anii-Lecomplon Democrats, who have not fully renounced their old parly connection, voted for the '“regular” candidates. John M. Read, whom this revolution places on the bench of the Supreme Court, is one of the ablest lawyers in Philadelphia, always a strong Jackson and Van Buren man, who revolted at the repu diation of the Missouri compact, and gave a hearty support to Col. Fremont. He is nn out-and-out Republican. His opponent, VVil liam A. Porter, also now of Philadelphia, is a son of ex-Gov. Porter—a much younger man than Mr. Read, and with Ttis reputation os a lawyer to make. If gentlemen of like legal standing to Mr. Read were always chosen Judges, the prejudice against consti tuting a Judiciary by popular suffrage would soon fade out. Williaji E.
