THE COMET COMING.—M. Vernet has calculated the orbit of the comet recently discovered by a Berlin astronomer.
He appears to be approaching the earth so rapidly that it will soon present a fine object to the naked eye. At present it is believed that it is not Charles the Fifth's comet, of which there has been so much talk, and destined to come into collision with the earth on the 13th of June last. Its position is in the constellation Perseus. The comet wonderers can now start a fresh excitement.
