614 : Meteorological Report. 
fplendid appeardnce’in the S. W. her diftance from the earth conftantly dimimifhing, and her 
apparent luftre increafing. Qn the firfther elongation from the Sun will be 36° 59’, and on 
the 31ft, 42° 19’; on which day she wil] be up four hours after fun-fet. On the fecond fie 
comes into conjunction with the far 7 in the Goat, of the fourth magnitude ; aud on the fol- 
lowing day with the } in the fame conttellation of the third magnitude ; the planet being 45 
minutes of a degree to the north in the former cafe, and 48 minutes in the latter. On the 
18th the may be feen in conjunction with the Ain Aquarius, 53 minutes to the fouth of the 
ftar. On the 23d the will come into contact with the 9 in Aquarius, of the fourth magnitude. 
The conjunction takes place at three-quarters paft five in the evening, when the planet and 
ftarare in 14° 273’ of the fign Pifces, and their latitude 1° 2° fouth. ‘This phenomenon will 
be vifible to Great Britain, and will make a pretty appearance through the telelcope. During 
the former part of this month the continual approach to each other of the two brigheft planets, 
Jnpiter and Venus, will not fail to excite the attention of thofe who delight in the contem- 
plation of the heavens. On the evening of the 6th, at eight, they will be feen, if-th® 
weather permit, very nearly in conjunction; their difference of longitude being only 22 
minutes of a degree, and of latitude 15} minates, Jupiter being in 18° 25’ of Pifces, and 
Venus in 18° 3° of the fame fign. As the declination of thefe two planets in the evening 
is aloft equal, and their paffage over the meridan, the preceding afternoon, within # 
minute of each other, they will fet that evening very nearly together; viz. Venus at 18 
minutes paft eight, and Jupiter the following minute, the eccalive amplitude of the former 
planet being 8° 15’, to the S. of the weft, anfwering to W. by S.  W. very nearly, and of 
the latter 8° 22’, only nine minutes of a degree more to the fouth. ‘lhe conjunétion will beat 
27 minutes paft three of the morning of the 27th, in 18? 29’ of Pilces, when their difference 
of latitude will be only 16 tinutes of a degree, Jupiter being to the fouth. This phzro- 
menon, happening more than feven hours after their tetting, will, of courfe, be invifible to 
_ Great Britain. Mars weil be a imorning-far for the month. On the fecond he will be in 
quartile afpeét with the fun, and will confequently appear the moft gibbous, thatis, like the 
moon three or four days before or alter the arrives at her oppalition, the defeét this month 
being on the weftern fide. On the 10th he will come into conjunction with the 6 in the 
Virgin, when the ftar will be 51 minutes to the feuth; and on the 26th he will come into 
the fame longitude with the @ in the Virgin, a ftar of the firft magnitude, when their differ- 
ence of latitude will be 44 degrees, the planet being to the north. Jupiter may be feen this 
month in the evenings, between. 132 and 194 degrees of the fign Pifces. On the 6th he 
will come into conjunction with the ¢ in Aquarius, of the fourth magnitude, when the differ- 
ence of latitude will be only eight minutes of a degree, a diitance from the planet of nos’ 
more than half the greatéft elongations of Japiter’s fourth fatellite. Saturn may be fcen 
every favourable mormng fome hours before fun-rife towards the 5. E. His ring, now ap~ 
pearing much open, will make a beautiful appearance through a good telefcope; but its 
mot open appearance will not take place before the beginning of 1811. On the fixth he 
comes into conjunction with the bright {tar of the fecend magnitude in the Scorpion, named 
2, and on the 24th with the y in thé fame conftellation, of the fourth magnitude, the ditfer- 
ence of latitade im the former cafe being 5% minutes, and in the latter only 18 minotes, the 
ftars being to the fouth. The Georgfum Sidus mag fill be feen in the morning. On the 
morning of the firt he rifes at 46 minutes pait two, on the morning of the 16th, at 43 minutes 
aft ene, and onthe morning of the 31ft, at 28 minutes before one. On the firft the differ- 
ence of longitude of this planet, and the @ in the Balance, will be $° 34’, and on the 31f, 
4° 50’; the planet in both cafes being about Gx minutes more to the north, and not fo tar 
advanced im longitude, as the ftar. ;

TO - CORRESPONDENTS. t 
The Rev. J. Jover, the writer of the ‘* Brief Account of the Life and Labours of Mr, 
Lindley,” in our lait number, entreats us to inform our readers, that, in the note of p. 447, 
he had not the moft diftant idea of mfmuating that thedate Dr. John Jebb, was ever, or at 
any time, other than am ardent friend to the liberty of confvience. The faét referred to ag- 
vars to be this, that from a particular claufe in the diffenter’s petition tor a more extended 
toleration, at that period before parliament; ioe pertons, inimical to their caufe, had en- 
deavoured to perfuade Mr. Jebh, that their views were narrow and telfih, and that they did 
not a upon'the broad bafis of general liberty; to thefe infiunations we have fince been in- 
forwed, upon the mott reipectable authority, he never attached any the leaft credit, but 
mentioning what be had heard to Mr. Lindiey, that excellent man, fearing he might believe 
the calumny, entered inte a warm vindication of the diflenters in the letter, trum which a 
pafiage is quoted in the memoir. .
