COLCHESTER, OCT. 25.

ON Monday night last between six and seven
o',•_•lock a meteor or fire-ball was seen to the
ward of this' town, passing. with great Velocity
from the South to North ; it appeared as if-it came
from behind the moon, which was 'then shining-Very
bright, it was hid for a Short time behind acloud ;
when first seen it' had the appearance' Of a well de:.
fined disk, extremely 1119141'0ns, surpassing that-of
the moon, and .of a greenish blue cdlour ; the light
which it diffusedOn the ground gave aigreenish cast
,to objects ; it Was attended by a train of consider,
'ablelength, whidh continually :augmenting, at last
obliterated ,the, head entirely ; so that it looked
like a wedge flying with the 'obtuse end" foremost ;
very -little of it was seen after it went bebind'aie
cloud, it appeared as if it vanished ; it did not.
seem to. be very highin the atmosphere, •and this
is confirmed by a part of, the tail falling on the
house of Mr. Woodroffe, Miller, at Horrnger Mill,
near Bury St;Edinunds, which it set on fire, but by
iiinely assistance most of.. the furniture was saved,
a stack of hay, was alsO Saved, but the stable
near the 'house was entirely consumed, the other
parts of the 'premises were saved by the wind blow_
ing in a favourable direction: It was not attended
by any noise or explosion -as is sometimes the ca
when a hissing noise is heard compared to that of
electricity issuing from a conduAor.. • •

Two other meteors were- seen here the same
evening, one at eight o'clock, the other abmit tell;
the former of which is said by' many versor, to he
the one that set fire "to Mr. Woodroffes premises,
which happened about eight o'clock that evening.

tried, in the same manner, three diderent. pieces of mPilds,

press any sensation, but on bringing the TraCtors in' coniaCt
again, the trembling instantly returned, and it was. with 'dif-

OLD BAILEY.

FIFTH DAY-IVIONDAY, NOV. 2.

THE .only curious or important case which Was
:.'i,posed of this day, was the folloWing :
Thomas Gout, a soldier in one of the Regiments
Guards, convieted of a certain"capital offence,
in haVing put.. in fear, and feloniously extorted from
Samuel Biggs, ail. Bank of England Note, a 7s.
and tour shillings, his property.
The circumstences of this case, however curious
,:oine points of view, as shewing to what length
,!;:nan depravity .can go, we are precluded, from
L eit peculiar nature, from detailing ; it ,being
ehiolgh the medium of threatening to charge the
7'7osecuior with a capital offence, the Prisoner ex-
the money from him. In support of the
ge,. was the unimpeached and positive testimony
of the Prosecutor, aided by some, though slight,
corroborativeevidence. It was met, on the part of
the Prisoner, by a bold and positive denial of the
charge.
'Two Witnesses, whoapparently attended, to give
the Prisoner a eharader, namely, a Serjeant and.a
Corporal in the Regiment.to which he belonged, .he
declined bringing forward, obServing, that they
would sooner swear his life away than give him a
charafter.

After an able and appropriate cliarge from Mr.
Baron THOMPSON, which we are precluded from
reporting by causes similar to those which prevented
us from detailing the case, the Jury brought in a
verdict to the ,above fatal of eft.
This Prisoner had three other detainers against
him upon capital charges.
Haig Abrams was indiaed for stealing, on the
31st of July, the glass cover of a certain yessel in
which salmon was held, value as. the property of
Mary Taylor, widow. •
This case, notwithstanding the trifling value
' which was at stake on the occasion, took up the
attention of the Court a considerable time. A
!Amber of witnesses were examined on both sides ;
and some of those for the prosecution, were cross-
examined by the Prisoner's Counsel at considerable
length.

The circumstances were briefly these—the Pro..
sccutrix, it appeared, kept a green-grocer's, and
fruiterer's-sliop in Fenchurch-buildings, FencAurch-
street;--on the• day above stated, her- daughter
placed a kit of pickled salMon at the door, co-
vered with the lid or cover in the. indkiment,
which was principally composed of glass; in
about an hour after, the kit was gone, and no
part of%it was traced until about three days after,
when,' in consequence of some information the re-
ceived, she went to the shop of the. Prisoner,
who is an Hebrew vender of fish, fruit, and ve-
getables, in Petticoat-lane ; she there saw. some
salthon exposed to sale, which she was confident
Was her's, .though for reasons too obvious to men-
tion, she could not swear to it.:---She also
served the lid, which she instantly claimed.--" She
could swear to it, were she on her dying pillow,
Or. in the East Indies !"—The Prisoner used some
very abusive language to the PrOsecntrix, denying
that it was her's, and, at the same time, bid his
boy " Go take it back to Isaac's," from whom
lie said he first had
,it ; the boy took the kit
and ran out of the shop with it—the Prosecutrix
followed, gave an alarm, and the
.boy was brought
back with the lid in his possession. The
.article
was duly identified by • the Prosecutrix and her
daughter.
The Prisoner, in his defence, said, he "knew
nothing at all about it, no more than the child un-
born."

A number of witnesses appeared to his charac-
ter, and to one or two to fads, with a view of pal-
liating the case. The RECORDER gave a very
sensible and candid charge, and the Jury, after
some cortsideation, pronounced the Prisoner—,

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM KILLALA, IRELAND,

OCTOBER 19, Igol. ,
"IN no 'part of the Empire could joy be more
universal than in our little town of Killala, when
the news arrived of -His Majesty having signed the
PeeliMinaries of Peace. The Northamptonshire Fen-
cibles, quartered here, ' was paraded, and fired ,a
feu-de-jore ;„ after which the soldiers begged to be
permitted to make known their regard' for their"
Commanding Officer, Colonel BULRELEY, by pub-
licly carting bhn through the town, for which
purpose they had privately got a chair made, and
very handsomely lined with, blue and white satin,
decorated with ribbons of scarlet and orange.. Six
Grenadiers supported the chair, which was preeed,
1 ed by the Band'playing God save the King, and.
Rule Britannia.; the Regiment, with their new
Union Colours followed. The whole paraded the
streets above an hour, amidst constant 'repeated
huzzas, as tokens of satisfadion from every inhabi_
taut of the town, amongst whom .and the soldiers .
the greatest harmony has prevailed, and not,a single
complaint made by either party. A; Mr. joncr's
house, in theCentre of the town, the men halted,
and the King's Health was drank with as cheers_;
after which the Colonel addressed the Regiment, as
near as we could-colled, in the following wordi
‘" For this distinguished mark of your personal
approbation of my condu& in my Command, I re-
turn you my Sincerest thanks, and, in assuring yon,
of my, warm regard for the health and. happiness of
you all, I have to regret that I have not power of
language to express. how much I consider your
steady attachment shewn on every opportunity to
the cau3e, of our King and Country—long may he
live, and long may you maintain vigour to rally
round the Standard of the Constitution, if ever
again assailed by Foreign or Domestic Foes. I re-
peat my most hearty thanks, and request you will
receive a Mite which I shall dired to be given to
you; in order that His MAJESTY'S Health smay be
again drank—could I, had I the means Oldistribut-
ing amongst you as my heart would diaate, the
sum W 0 111C1 be large."
" The Bishop's Castle, now occupied as a- Bar-
rack, was in the evening illuminated throughout :
your friend JOINT'S house appeared tan in a blaze ;
indeed every dwelling, without
.exception,- was
handsomely lighted, 'and proved the happiness of
all ranks on the return of Peace. The whole
passed off in the utmost harmony ; and we shall all
be sorry'when the dr.y arrives which calls away the
Northamptonshire Boys. It' is as tine and well-
behaved a Regiment as can be, and must be as good
in the field, tor we witnessed at its.last.review Ge-
neral .Earl'CLA!,tat cm()) return his public thanks,
and to look very well pleased all the time it,was
going through' a'great variety of movements and
firings. 'He seems a - very particular,Generale and
never took his eyes from the Regiment for near two
hours. Two other General Officers attended, Ge-
neral TRENCH and - a General 56:err, a stranger
here ; it was said he commanded= at Athlone. As
all fear of a second visit from General HUMBERT is
over, we hope 'you will soon come to your old
Mayo friends again." ,

" Whatever success the Faculty meet with in bodily in-
firmities, they are generally baffled by disorders of the mind."
THORNTON.

Certain it is, that \Ole re confidence is not placed
by a full and complete disclosure of the cause of the
disease, the remedy is applied as it were at random,
and the odds. is against the patient's recovery. To
this perhaps it is principally owing that the Bairn of
Gilead has attained such universal celebrity. Under
a signature of an A. B. the patient opens the secret
recesses of his soul, to his physician when he lays his
case before Dr. Solomon bf Liverpool ;' 'by this
• means the Doctor is enabled to judge and apply:
With judicious acumen his remedies 'to the very root
of•• the complaint. Such cases have come under his
observation as seldom are fairly submitted, for fear
of exposure, to any other medical man : some are so
cruelly atfeded that they cannot sleep at all ! others
have been relieved from a perpetual state of drow-
siness, many having been aifeEted with hysterical
and hypochondriacal complaints, consequently over-
come with such accidents as accompany those grie
vous disorders, as sighing, tears, palpitations of the'
heart, and faintness ; some emit a calcareous saliva,
and coughs, slow fevers t and consumptions have
been the concomitant synlptoms of those who are
now restored by this inestimable Balm of Gilead,
which is so justly described in Holy Writ as " the
best Balm," as the ." the greatest cordial and com-
forter of the nerves," by the Arabians, and has
been held in the highest repute 1730. year before
• the birth of Christ, or too° years 'before the Queen
of Saba came to Jerusalem. No wonder then that
the celebrity of this wonderful restorative has in
modern times spread with equal rapidity throughout
~ Europe, America, and all civilized Countries, as it
did in times of yore through. Asia and Africa.
