URANUS,

Which on the 30th of last month was so near _Beta Virginis_, has moved

about 1° 35′ farther to the east; but can be more readily pointed out

by its proximity to this than to that of any other star. Uranus is an

evening star, setting at the following dates: 1st, at 9:10 p. m.; 15th,

at 8:17 p. m.; 30th, at 7:20 p. m. Diameter, 3.6″. On the 22nd, at 9:35

p. m. is 2° 25′ north of the moon; and on the 23rd is 3° 5′ north of

Mercury, at 8:00 a. m., an hour at which neither planet can be seen by

the unaided eye.
