Export of Linens ; the second was relative to the
times of meeting of the Linen Board, which, As
they were fixed, were at present inconvenient to
many of the Members, who were also Members of
that House ; and the third was with respect to some
doubts relative to certain Rights of the Trustees of
the Linen Hall. The Bill he proposed to move for
Was therefore intended to embrace three different
objects. He concluded by moving for leave to bring
in the Bill.

Mr. CURRY said a few words, which we could
not distinaly hear, but which we understood to be
expressive of approbation of themeasure.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
that as this measure related to Trade, it ought first
to have been discussed in a Committee of the whole
House. '
The SPEAKER said, it was his intention to have
observed that no measure relative to Trade could
come regularly before the House until it had passed
through a Committee of the whole House.
Mr. FOSTER said, he should certainly comply
with the forms of the House; and he was glad it was
40,, as the subjea might be better discussed in• a
Committee.
Mr. FOSTER then withdrew his Motion, and
gave notice that he should on Tuesday nest move
tor a Committee relative to this subjea.

SUPPLY.
The House resolved itself into a Committee of-
Supply, to which were referred the Estimates of the
. Ordinary and Extraordinary - of the Navy,
the
Transport Service, and the Expences of Sick and
Wounded Seamen, Prisoners of War, and Sick Pri-
soners of War.

commencing the 26th of March. ,
kir. ROBSON said, he did not mean to objea
to the SuPPlies, but he objefted to voting them for
irwo°munths only. He thought, that voting Suppliesm

tended to. and from week to week, only
injure the credit of the Country, and to

that large sums of He thought it highly
money. should he 'voted in so thin
41-I°use ; and he believed he should be induced on 4
similar circumstance hapetaing in future, to put a
stop to such a praelice.
2-IJi CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
the übjeCtiOns of the Hon. Gentleman were not very
of
well timed. The Hon. Gentleman complained .
the want of attendance., but it would be surely high-.
'Y ungenerous in the Hon. Gentleman to take ad.
vantage
-
of that circumstance, when the thinness of
the House might be fairly attributed to the Hon.
.7
e t ' t i e m a n himself.
~. With tespea to the subjeft matter of regret ex.
Pressed by the Hon: Gentleman to-day, that there
was not a more numerous attendance in the House
ascome to a vote on such a subje& as this, he would
k the House, what it came to i At this moment
there was but one voice, because there was but one
,feingi.and that was a determined one,--;to support
oet'nee Naval Greatneii by continuing the. Nayal

ngth of this Country. The Hon. Gentleman
.
drew a
unfavourable inference from the attendanCe 'gra few Members of the House, upon a Question
N---e the present, that of voting the Supplies for the
onY• He had said that it was a point which
ld not be left to two or three Gentlemen to
dis Pose of : now he drew no such 'inference from the
attendance being so thin. On the: contrary, he
c_ensidered it to arise from the general anti well
founded
r. convietion which had been long felt through
at at House, and over evety part of the Country,
that over Vote for. N
'continuing the present Naval
.I' orce would be opposed, and that, therefore, afull
.. aotftendance was not necessary • that was the cause
the,present thinness of the 'House' . Indeed,- so
very general was this feeling, .
little difficulty in . that he should have
__ sayine
such a Vote as that which
zn was now before the 6)
the hands f Houses. might safely be trusted
° any two or three Members ; for it
was a Vote to continue the Naval Force of this
otititry at the present • d . ;
t .ts -tate-
rest—the- . period , tpresent .
, . was, to continue the Force for
twot months. P. the
it, t"e Hob. Gentleman would have " that this mode of. voting the continuance of
thee, Naval Force fbr a short period, was tellink the
_l•tnenty we must have Peace at any rate."—
Ite;'vas no such thing—Thii, it was said, would be
t telling the Adversary we should be ready to agree
° any terms of Peace rather than not have it ; het
,n.tiksuch, inference - was warranted from any thing
that any of His Majesty's Ministers had said. upon
that subjeft. No.sentiment had been expressed to
the., liouse, nor was any' thing ever yet done, on
tto.e part of His Majesty's Ministers, so disgraceful
Ito
mthekessove,
; , or so injurious to their Country, as
Would..- 't
Matter, even of supposition, that'theY
assent to a disgraceful Peace. What was the
Pr°Position now before the House ? Only to conti-
nue a Navil
Force we had already, to a period be-
yond which we hoped it would not be necessary
for the establishment of our objed, the .attainment
°f Peace by a Definitive Tteaty. He hoped it would
not be necessary to continue ,that Force for two
trionths, etleas proper that it be. voted, until
the hut a
objet} of, it was attained. But if .the Honour
.o. r Interest of the Cetintry should require it,
be was confident that House would continue this, or
any other Forte, fur this or any other period which
might appear to be necessary, to su the Ho-
nour, the Dignity, the Independencep, p
orort the Safety
of this Country. This Vote meant nothing more
than to continue the Naval Force as it stood at
Present. But as to the other part' of the observa-
: tion of the Hon. Gentleman, which related to the
ton.attchdance of Members on these occasions," he
took it to indicate that Members w
tisfie ere perfealy sa-
d with the Vote 110`n proposed in the Commit.

tee, for it was. a ,subjea of which tiniely notice had
been given, and it was fair to infer; that if any
Members thought the present measure improper,
they would have attended the House to oppose it,
for he could not presume that any Member of that
House would so neglea his duty as to let such a
Vote pass without a comment, if he had anyobjec-
tion to it, nor did he believe that the House, or
any part of the Country, would suppose that His
Majesty's Ministers were doing any more than
their duty at this period in bringing this mea.
sure forward. They were pursuing a course which,

in his opinion, was their duty to purstie:—a course
which, if they did not pursue it, they would prove
they were lost to every sense of what was due to
the Sovereign,- who did them the honour to com-
mand their Services—lost -to. the interest of their
Country, whose confidence he trusted they should
have, while they performed their duty---lost to
every feeling which he hoped they possessed as men,
and particularly as Englishmen, under circum-
stances as delicate and difficult as any this Country
had to aft in, at any period in its History.
Mr. JONES said, he was extremely happy to
hear one part of the Speech of the Minister upon
this occasion. There was, however,-another part of
it, from which he differed, and that was on the
subjefi of the attendance of the Members of the
House, or rather their non-attendance : he really
'did think that was a matter which ought to be
remedied. He had often noticed that millions were
voted in thin Houses, and he never could approve of
_-that pratlice. The Vote now before the Commit-
see, was for a serviee, and to a purpose,---for_ which_
he would be ready, if necessary, to strip the shirt
from off his back ; but that was no reason With
him for excusing the attendance of the Members of
the House ; and the Right Hon. Gentleman who
bad just spoken, .had assigned, a very good reason-
for not excusing Memlers for non-attendance, that
of Ministers being in a situation and circumstances
so delicate and difficult.
[Here Mr, ADD! NGTON said, it was not to Mi-
nisters, but to the circumstances of the Country,
he applied the observation.]
Mr. JONES said,. he would - apply the'obServa_
tion, to the situation of the Country, and he assented
to the Vote now. proposed to the Committee, for
the purpose of keeping the Enemy in order, if he
might he allowed the,expreasion, to keep down the
ambition of the First Consul of France. 'lt was
with thiit view, and that view only; he should
vote for the Resolotion now Moved„ i He: was hap_
py to find, -as a man, and particular 4sliii'Eriglish-
a an, that Ministers were determined fo*WeW a bold
front to the wavering First 'consul of Ranee. He
applancied them for so doing., No one approved of
their boldness and determioation upoo that subjeCt,
more than he did.- He might excite a smile, per-
lAps, by what he was just about to say,- but
that should not prevent him from saying it.
He remembered the many proofs which had, of late
especially, been given
.of the tremendous power
and inordinate ambition of the First Consul: He
saw the absolute necessity of checking it. He saw
the danger of -delaying the Negotiation of the De-
finitive Treaty ; for these reasons—were he in the
situation
.of His Majesty's Ministers, he would
name a day; beyond which,_ if the Definitive Treaty
was not concluded, the force of this Country should
not pause a moment—That Was his 'opinion ' as 'an
Englishman. It was with a view -to that vigorous
use being made of our strength,. if necessary, that
he voted for the Resolution now before the Com-
mittee. He felt great readiness in supporting Mi-
nisters in the present condition of affairs; Ministers
who, he said, told us, in pretty •plain language,- tha:
they were determined to be decisive in their mea-
sures, and that we must now prepare fur-War :
this they not- only gave us to understand by
their language, but they manifested it by .their ac-
tions, by the fitting out • of Fleets and other -mea-
sures, which bespoke decision, which he. approved
of. He was happy to find that our Ministers- pur-
sued a tone and temper which told the First Consul
fl
of France, " Thus far shalt thou grY hut-no. fur-
ther." Nothing was likely to. give fkt•to,Such a
tone or temper, but the Naval Force, f,this. Coun_-,
try—a Force which he wished to be :continued un-
til our objea' was completely attained. He--wished
to see the Navy .of England upon the pinnacle of
glory—higher than even yet it-had ever. been ; and
so he was persuaded - it would be, if occasion should
require its future exertions. .
.‘ The CIIANCELLO of the EXCITEQUER said,
he was desirous that, the Honourable Gentleman
who had just spoken, 'might not draw inferences
which were not warranted by what lie had said. A-s
to the tone -and the temper of Ministers in the
course of the management of public affairs, he- knew
not how to speak upon it better than by saying, he
hoped and he trusted they would take every -step
which, to the best of their judgments, appeared to
conduce to the real interest of their Couniry,"and to
procure for it the real blessings of Peace on- the
Terms of the Preliminary Articles. It was the
earnest wish. 'of kis Majesty's Ministers that
that objeet might be obtained—They would pur-
sue that objet. They were also determined to pur-
sue every step that should be requisite to assert.
the honour of this Country. They desired Peace:;
bin they would be prepared for either. alter-
native. However, although this was the feeling-of
His Majesty's Ministers, he would not have it un-
derstood, that the alternative of War was that to
' which -they looked forward. The Committee
would not understand, him as now stating the al-
ternative to be taken by Ministers ; but that he
was only -taking notice of the inference of the Hon.
Gentleman, which was not warranted by -what he
had said before that inference, was drawn ; nor,
_indeed, did what he said warrant any inference,
except that Ministers were determined to, pursue
that Which appeared to them to be their duty, and
of aging for- the real interest of 'their Country,
in the delicate and difficult situation of affairs—
He - should' not have called for the"Utientiou of the
' committee. again, if it had not beet`t for • that part
of the
.speech of the Honourable Gentleman in
_ which was drawn an inference which.was not war_
ranted
.by what- had preceded it, and on which it
-was partly a comment. - But as he was up he would,
once more, take an opportunity of observing, -that
.aa to the non-:attendance of Members of that House,
while public business: was in- the course of being

. .
transaAeci, it boas a p—taaice which he fiact never
applauded Or attempted to justifit certainly was
desirable it were otherwise, but he had
.stated what

appeared to him to be the reason of it. There Was
no difference of opinion .on this important subjea :
nnbovig wished., to oppose it, and therefore each
individual thought his attendance unnecessary for
passing that to which he ,was conscious nobody
objeaed. But should it. be understood that any
public measure,. necessary fOr the interest of their
Country, was about to be proposed, and the pass-
ing was likely to be attended with any'difficulty,
the benches which now appeared to be deserted,
would, be thronged with Members ; stteh;. he was
persuaded, was the real
.feeling of :the Members of
that House. He had assigned the reason why they
.were now so thinly attended. But the Hon. Gentle-
man should not go away with an idea that this thin-
ness of attendance, on the voting of public services,:!
was peculiar to the present day, or was it a pra6tice
purely of. modern date. He could not very patiently
hear it said' that this was merely a. modern praCtice.
It had been frequently observed to be the case, in
a period .the most proud and prosperous that this
Country ever, knew, when the glory-of .this Coun-
try was trumpeted over the different Nations.of the
Globe—when its power and pre-eminence over sur-
rounding Nations was most conspicuously displayed..
If the.H:sn. Gentleman doubted that, let him en-
quire, of the . oldest Members—let him. ask the
Clerks of the House, and they would tell hips, That
the Public Services were voted in very thin Houses
during'-the Administration ,of. the late Earl of _
.---ertaar-Lisa, The, attendance, was,L_On these occa-
sions, in 'these times, much more scanty than it
had been of late: he said this to .do away the idea
of this non-attendance being'a modern, thing ; not
'dial -he applauded, its--on the contrary, he could
• wish it to be otherwise,' for 'this. thin attendance
was sotnetitries the cause of impediment in public,
business, since the Hon. Gentleman who spoke last,
and the Hon. Gentleman who sat' next to him .(Mr.
Ronson), had, sometitries (from :a sense of their
public' du'y no doubt) stopped the proceedings of
the House, on account of the non-attendance of a
sufficient number to constitute a House according to
its rules. - _ •_

.„
ijONES said, he certainly had no intention
to draw a wrong inference from .the words of the
Minister as to the tone-and temper of His Majesty's
Government towards France ; but he still retained
the "opinion he had expressed on the propriety 'of
vigour on our part ; and' he had no doubt that'Mi_
nisters were aftirig, and would aft in that business,
in a way that would do-ithemselves honour, and
their country service.:,-;He retained his opinion,
entirely, on the sutpjeft--.of'the, non-attendance of
Members when public business was transafted in
the House, to support-which,'he recurred to several
instances which he had; formerly, had occasion to
notice.—He observed, that he had supported the
proposition of a friend of his,' now no more, .the
Hon. Mr. PIM fio I ir, which went to provide,
that no public business should be proceeded in, but
in the presence 'of at, least, sixty Merribers. He
concluded with-obseming, however, that the Re-
'solution proposed to. the Committee, had his en-
tire concurrence. '

Mr. ROBSOiV wished to know who the Auditors
were of the'Sick and Hurt Office,. and how the. Ac-
countS of that branch of Public Business v;'ete made'
up.
Mr. TANSITTART said; that the Accounts of
this Office were 'audited in.like manner, and return-
ed to the War Office as other Public Accounts.
Mr. ROBSON- w.is dissatisfied tvi th this explana-
tion, 'and also 'with various Items of Accounts, to
which he referred, in various branches of the Public
Sery ice, -upon- which ~he expatiated at considerable
length, but professed to have no objeaion to the
Vote-now before the Committee. -
Mr. ALEXANDER, the Cliairman.of the• Co-

GAMBLE V. DUDLEY.

YESTERDAY came on, before Mr. fusticeHEATH,
Ejectment Cause, preferred by the Rev. Mr.
GAMBLE, Chaplain to his Royal f-lighnebs the Duke
of IioRK, against the Rev. Mr. BATE DUDLEY,
to recover possession of the house, premi'ses, and
glebe lands; of the Re Cory of Bradque 11 near the
Sea; in this County. _ .

Mr. GA ka.ow, as leading Counsel for the Plain.
tiff, said, he had a duty, that -he should discharge
as simply as possible, but which being done, must
entitle him to a verdict. He
.had learnt that this
was a cause of considerable expeaation in the
County ; but there would be nothing pass this dayi
he conceived, chit could gratify any curiosity upon
this subje&. He content himself with prov-
ing a simple fart, viz. Mr. B. D'UDLEY'S own ac-
knowledgment that Mr. G.' was, in point of laiv,
Reaor of Bradquell ; in further corroboration of
which, he had all the formal proofs to substantiate
ir, if hereafter they should,be deemed necessary.
[Mr. DUDLEY here admitted this fed) "'TO Mr.
DUD LET'S popularity througheut the 'County, so
long and-.honourably earned, 'he had great satis-
faaion in acceding : Mr. Gmsra LE. he knew nothing
of,. but as his Client : Mr. DUDLEY he had knoWn
almost through the whole course of his lite; his
public services Were great, and universally acknow-
ledged ; by his exertions, he had certainly created
a paradise our of a desart ; asid if the Reanry were
vacant to-morrow, and he (Mr. GA.Raowl had the
power of presentation, Mr. DUDLEY would be re-
placed-at Bradwell, as the objeCt of his eleaion.
He concluded by remarking, that he had heard
something of a settlementi which he lamented had.
not operated to prevent the discussion of this day."
'Mr. Serjeanr SHEPHERD, as leading Counsel for
Mr. DUDLEY, then-addressed the Court, and said,
that his Client, although he had no idea of resisting
the Plaintiff's pre'sent•claim of title, thought it in-
cumbent upon -him to make his appearance this day,
to prevent any misconstruaions that might arise
from his absentee. It' was deemed right also, that
the title-of the Plaintiff should be set oat as it was
now dOne. The very hand Some, and feeling terms
in which his Learned Friend on-the other side, had
descanted in the merits, and popularity of Mr. B.
ty, left him but little to add on that subjea;
indeed it would he altogether -unnecessary, because
it would only be addressed to those, who had given
the most flattering testimonies of his high deserts.
It was not imprObable but that some arrangement,
as alluded 'to by his Learned Friend, might yet take
place ; but however great the, eventual 105546 of his
Client may be,. he was desirous to demonstrate to
the Count-3-, that he had no disposition whatever un-
necessarily to oppose the- ordinary course of legal
proceedings.—A verdict was, of course, given•
for the Plaintiff., on one; of the demises only, -
(damages one shilling. , because
,his other demise
set out, was two years antecedent to the commence-
ment of his title. It is understood that the single
demise on which the verdift went, will be further
discussed under a Writ of Error to the House of
Lords. (Cheliitsford Chronicle, March 12.)

A. Naval Officer put an-end to his existence' last
Wednesday morning, at Chadwell, in EsseX. He had
taken his plaCe within side the coach from Yarmouth
to London, and upon the road conversed very cheer-
fully -with the other passengers. When the. coach
stopped at the White Hart, Chadwell, he alighted and
went to the back part of the premises. The Coach.
man waited some time, bat at last grew impatient, and
sent a boy to let him know that he was ready. The
'I:K-.ynoi finding the Gentleman, went to the door of
the privy, which he found fastened ; he called, but
no answer was given ; but observing some blood
running under the door, he hastened hack to inform
the people in the house, who immediately forced the
privy open, when they discovered the unfortunate
man dead,, with his head nearly severed from his'
body, and a
.pen,knife laying by his side. The de-
ceased was genteel in person, -and appeared about
fifty years of age.
A" most singular robbery has occurred in the Can-
ton de Vaud, in Switzerland. The voluminous
archives of the Castle of Sarray have been carried
off' without any one knowing by what means. It
is supposed to have been done with a. view to de_
stroy the title deeds of the Barony, by those against
whom there are claims on account of tenths and
other Baronial dues. Domiciliary vi?its have been
made throughout the district, and every means
adopted:to discover the offenders. ,
If certain Country Gentlemen, who seldom visit
the Metropolis- at this season of the year, were to
see the number of HareS, Partridges, and other
Game, that have been openly carried through the
streets of London and Westminster, at noon day,
since the first of last month, when 'the 'limited time
for-killing Game was closed, they would be indu-
ced to think, that the Inhabitants of the Capital
stand cxempred from, the Penalties imposed by Sta.
tute for the better preservation of the Game. It
may' be asked, for what purpose r6cre the Game
Laws enacted, -if the gross violation of them is- thus
daily-,permitted, or winked at ? The killing' of
Game after the permitted time, which is pra&ised,
not by real Sportsmtm, but by idle, unqiialified
persons, or downright Poach-6.s only, tends to the
destruction of the Breed—and the high prices given
for it in the COuntry by the Drivers of the Mail.
Coaches and Stages, together with the speedy con-
veyance of it to the Metrorolis by these vehicles,
will, if not effeElually,checked, soon be the' means.
of exterminating it in every cultivated part of the
Country. Too severe penalties cannot be inflicted
upon habitual Poachers,- especially for offences corn-
witted within the prohibited- season. A rigorous.
execution of the Law against such Delinquents,
would be an aft of real kindness to themselves, arid
their families.

LAW' REPORT',

COURT OF KING's BENCH, INIARciI 5.
SITTINGS EETORE MR. JUSTICE LAWE.E.NCE, AND A
SPECIAL JULY, IN GUILDHALL, LONDON. fr

LIVING v. fiARTSHORX.

This was an 'AftiOn on a Policy Of Insurance on
the ship Amie, from Harnburgh to London. The lois
was by the perils of The sea. There was no-dispute
about the execution of the Policy, the Plaintiff's in -
terest, or the construlion of the Deed. The defenee
. was, that there hadn'cit been a due disclosure to the
Underwriters, ands that the fraud of the Plaintiff
thin absolved them from all respOnsibility. The
PoliZty was dated the igth of May, and a Mr.
Gadsdale was called to. prove that. at that time
the Plaintiff had great reason to -suppose that the
ship was lost.' He stated that he had goods on board
the Arnie, :about which he was anxious ; that being
at the Custom-house, on the 16th of May, lie saw
Price, Captain of the Cirene, who had arrived
from Hamburg that morning, and, who told him that
the Amie had sailed two days before him ; that he
saw the Plainiiff soon after, and
.communicated
this intellio.ence to him, and that.they had a long.
conversation together, ahput effeaing in,akrances.
However, on his cross-examinatian, he was by
no means sure as to dates, and he slimed that his-
recolledion of the affair had eonSiderably,faded. On
the part of the Plaintiff, it was. alioWed that this
circumstance had not been•disclosed
writers ; and that it being in the knowicd6e the
Plaintiff it had been kept back, the policy was v 541 ;
but that the Plaintiff really knew it, was .2:',erly
denied ; and Captain Price, of the Cirene, was ca'il-
ed to prove•that he could not have received ,the
information in the way stated by the last Witness.
He swore that he had not.semMr. Gadsdale at the
Custonn.hanse on the 16th Of June, nor had spoken'
to him any where else till near a week afterwards,
when he came on board the Cirene. Then, and no
sooner, he told him of the Amie having sailed two
days before the time of his own departure..
The learned Judge left it to the Jury upon the
credit of the Witnesses, and after a very short con-
sultation they found a lierdia for the Plaintiff.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEB. 27.

13 ENS2,MON T. HAR)II.SON.

Mr. Serjeant Brs-r applied on behalf of the
Defendant,.for a Rule to shew cause 'why _ there
should not be a non,suit or a new trial in ,this.
Cause. He stated,
.that it appeared- in evidence
that the Plaintiff, who was an Algerine Jew,
had a demand of 40001. on the Government ; he
entered into a contract with the Defend-ant to give
him ten. per cent, on all he could recover for him.
The Defendane.accordingly obtained warrant
for the payment of rzool.- to the Plaintiff; which
Plaintiff did not think, proper- to present at the
Treasury, conceiving it below his just claim.
Sometime, however, before the warrant was ob-
tained, Plaintiff gave the Defendant tool. to for-
ward his application to the Treasury, to recover
which the Adion was brought.; and the Defendant
put in, as a set-off, the contrad before alluded' to,
and his service in consequence thereof; bat these
the Jury, under the diredion of the Learned Judge,
overlooked, as illegal, and allowed the Defendant
five per art. on the z 2601. recovered, and awarded
the Plaintiff-the difference between that and the
tool. he advanced. The Learned Counsel con-
tended, that the agrement was legal, and thecon-
dua of the Defendant as justifiable as that: o£ Navy
or Army Agents, tints therefore hoped the COort
would'accede to his Motion. • •

Lord ALVA.NLEY was of opinion, that there was
no analogy between the case of the Defendant av,d
that of Army and Navy Agents, as the stuns to be
received by the latter' were fixed, and the a110w...
anee for their trouble ascertained ; whereas the
Defendant might, with as much justice,. ask 50
per cent. as to. His Lordship added, that he trusted
the Laws of England would ever be found to. pro,
ted Foreigners from unjust extortions of this kind.
Mr. Justice Roc:ix said,. that as it appeared on
the examination of th,e evidence, that' the tool.
advanced b' the Plaintiff', was in consequence of
a letter from th., Defendant, that such a sum was
necessary to bribe- some-subordinate Clerks in the
Treasury, it was money had for an illegal purpose,
and therefore the Defendant wasp in fait, entitled
to nothing at all for his services to the Plaintiff in
this business. He should be of course rather disposed
to grant a new trial on the applicatiOn of the Plain-
tiff's Counsel, in order to oblige the Defendant to
refund the whole sum of tool. without any deduc-
tions.

Mr. Serjeant SHEPHERD 7 on the part of the-
Plaintiff, declined the invitation of the Bench.

Mr. BEsr's application was refused.

We mentioned a few days ago, under the head of
Natural History, a shower of stones similar to that
which fell in Yorkshire about four years ago, and
that several of them are sent over to England. We •
cannot, on this occasion, avoid laying before our
Readers an abstraet of the • opinion of Professor
CHIADNr on that subjeCt. In company with M.'
CARtTZ, near the village of Barbotan, in the
Alps, he -observed a very large and bright meteor
descending almost perpendicularly towards them.
At an immense height it burst, and several
Pieces which seemed gradually to lOse their heat,.
descended, as he imagined, near the village of Bar-
botan. The explosion was. in about four minutes
succeeded by an awful peal like thunder, but louder,
than ordinary. Next mprning many of the same
kind of stones were found 'dispersed in a circle
of near two miles diameter, some •of which had
broken boughs from trees by their fall, but had done
no farther damages, From this and other similar
instances, the Professor concludes that many of those
fire-halls we commonly denominate meteors, are
neither igneous exhalations, nor modifications of the
electrical fluid, but real solid masses of a planetary
nature ; and that the bright shocks perceived at
night through telescopes of high magnifying Power,
are occasioned by them when very far distant.
