The comet is constantly called 'Miss Mitchell's comet' in the monthly journal of the Royal Astronomical Society at London, and in the 'Astronomische Nachrichten,' the well-known astronomical journal, edited by Mr.Schumacher himself, at Altona.

Father de Vico (who, with his brothers of the Society of Jesuits, has left Rome since the revolution there) was at this place (Cambridge) three days ago, and spoke of Miss Mitchell's priority as an undoubted fact.
"Last winter I addressed a letter to Mr.Schumacher, acquainting him with the foregoing facts relative to the discovery, and transmitting to him the _original_ letter of Mr.Mitchell to Mr.Bond, dated 3d October, bearing the original Nantucket postmark of the 4th.

I also wrote to Capt.

W.H.Smyth, late president of the Royal Astronomical Society of England, desiring him to speak to Mr.Airy on the subject.

He did so, and Mr.Airy wrote immediately to Mr.Schumacher.
