PALL OP AN ANROLITE.

The following very interesting letter, subscribed
Augustus H. Denham, Morley Rectory, near lamender,
.uguat 1," appeared in the Taw of this mars* :

;I wee thin day a witness of the tall of ea Wrolite of,
I believe, unprecedented sloe. As I was driving my wife
aid children in the vicinity of my hones, a rushing sound,
Wally 'swimming in intensity, made dealt heard, until as
with • roar and a scream which still seem to ring in my
ewe, a flaming maw plunged itself into the road at the dia-
tawisof a few yards from my pony's head. My wife and two
children were naturally much alarmed, so I directed some
haymakers who were at work in an adjoining field to dig keit.
while I drove to a friend's house close by. The pony broke
out into • profuse perspiration, trembled all over, and
showed every sign of the greatest terror. On my yeti= to
the spot, after an skeanee of about twenty minute', I found
that the kbouren had succeeded m did' what
paved a most inagnifiotmt enable, of suck a sass and
weight me Ido not believe to be on sword. Its shape is is
irregular ellipse, the major axis being 114 inches, the Wise
axis 78 inches ; the weight is 83j1b. The men who dug it
up informed 020 that it had buried itself wady 8 feet in the
ground, and was red•hot when they reached it. Indeed.
when I returned it was too hot to be touched with im-
punity by the naked hand. While cooling, the crystals
assumed, while constantly changing, the most beautiful
prismatic been Its specific gravity I have satisfactorily
awertaked to be greater than that of iron, but from the
imperfect means of testing at my command I assn unable to
determine the exact ratio. At the moment of its fall the
ift was perfectly cloudless. Asking smell of sulphur was
diffused immediately after the descent, and I have found
/several crystals of that element in the cavities on the Timer
surfaces, which have escaped abrasion from the soil. Per-
haps some of your numerous scientific correspondents will
be able to state whether I am right in my opinion as to ire
being the largest on rimed, in which case I will present it
to whatever museum may be deemed the most tee.
I otherwise I shall deposit it in the library of the Mechani
Institute at Laorneter.”

The Bordeaux journals state that, on the even-
ing before last, the prefect of the Gironde and lidme. de
Mentque gave • grand party in honour of the Second
Siamese Ambassador, to which all the beau monde of the
city were invited. The illustrious visitors seemed greatly
to enjoy the gay scene before them. One of the Siamese.

guests, and expressed himself highly delighted with the
reception given to him and his countrymen,

A correspondent of Galiguani, writing from St.
Petersburg, says :—" The departure of the Empress for the
Crimea is fixed for the 14th of August, and that of the
Emperor for the 18th. Her Majesty will take with her
only the Grand Duke Sergius and the Grand Duchess Mazy,
her two youngest children. In her suite will be the
Primer Dolgoronki, lady of honour. The number ad
donsestka will be small—two femme de ehandwe, three
louder', two footman, and three other male servants. Her
Majesty, in order to reduce the expense of the journey, cup
! tailed with her own band the lint of persons presented to
her. The suite of the Emperor will also be small."
