Abstract
ON Saturday, the 15th inst., a remarkably fine aurora was to be seen here towards the N.N.W. It was first observed at 8.45, and continued from then shining brightly till 9 P.M., when it made its disappearance. At first it formed a complete rose-coloured arch, in which flickering rays of bright white light were occasionally to be seen. During its appearance its position was gradually shifted round to the north, where it remained till it disappeared.
