A phenomenon of a most extraordinary description
excited the consternation of the rural inhabitants of Twembury
on Tuesday, the 23d ult. It appeared in the form of a dense
mass or column of vapour, agitated by a strong whirling cur-
rent of the atmosphere, by which it was propelled near the
surface of the earth with fearful velocity, apparently tending
to produce destructive effects. Passing. over the fields of
reaped corn, it scattered the sheaves through the air in all
directions, and would, no doubt, have caused considerable
injury to cattle or human beings, had its course of movement
brought it in contact with such' objects ; but, fortunately, its
progress was interrupted by more formidable obstacles, and its
force dissipated without any disaster of this sort occurring.
The movement of this humid phenomenon was accompanied
with a loud. whizzing sound, and, as stated by some occasion-
ally emitted luminous fiery sparks; but this latter appearance
g
was no doubt an illusion of vision, arising from thereat fin_
pulsive power by which it was kept in motion.---,,S'herborne

President Humphrey, in one of his letters from
England, says:—" Manchester is, next to London, the
largest town in England, and is rapilly increasing, both in
wealth and population. A distinguished banker in Liverpool
assured me, that the clear • of business in Manchester
could net be less than twelve millions sterling (about sixty
millions of dollars) per annum.
As the town is continually
extending, it bids fair in a few years to swallow up all the
manufacturing villages i
been made and are in the vicinity. Great fortunes have
making there; and no where out of the
metropolis is solid capital supposed to be so large as in Man-
chester. She is wont to say of her rival sister upon Mersey,
buy
that she is able to up the whole town of Liverpool, and
keep it on hand."
