George Airy, George Peacock, and [Adam] Sedgwick are visiting Collingwood for Christmas. Airy writes JH that an American astronomer named [Ormsby] 'Mitchell' has seen Antares double. JH reports that William Lassell and W. R. Dawes have observed the 7th Saturnian satellite and also another of the six satellites of the 'Georgium Sidus' [Uranus]. JH is confident that his Cape Results will go to the presses in January.
