Abstract
THE auroral display mentioned by your two correspondents was particularly brilliant at Oldham on the evening of the 14th inst., at 11.10. I observed at 11.15 one very fine streamer reaching quite to the Pole Star; it was of a ruddy hue, dull, and changing to purple. The horizon was cloudy, the cloud being fringed with white light, changing to rose colour. The constellation Cassiopea was at times covered with a mass of light, from whence the streamer arose, lighting up the whole of the northern sky.
