Abstract
THE NEW COMET.—The comet discovered by M. Borrelly, at Marseilles, on the morning of February 9, appears to have been found independently by Herr Pechüle at the Observatory of Copenhagen on the following morning. During the past week it has been making a pretty near approach to the earth, and had the weather been more favourable in Europe, it would probably have been very generally observed.
