The comet. A correspondent at Knoxville, Tenn., gives us the subjoined account of the appearance of the comet in that region. Though the celestial visitor has disappeared from the view of the Tennesseeans, as we are informed by the writer, the inhabitants of this portion of the world have not yet been deprived of the sight: I infer from your paper that the comet did not present a very brilliant appearance as seen from your city.

An old gentleman who saw the comet after midnight, when the head was down near the horizon, says that the tail extended up to the zenith, and beyond it. It was a magnificent sight, such as I never expected to see. "Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty!"

Maury, or some of your savants, inform us what comet this was? Was it, as many suppose, the comet of Charles V.? T. A Charlottesville correspondent takes a political view of the comet, and deems its visit at this time portentous. Thus the readers of the Dispatch are informed that-- In the reign of Manfrichi, of Italy, the appearance of a comet was regarded as a certain sign of the death of the King, and a change of Empire.
