EXTRACEDINAET METZOR.—(From an American Paper, of
March 211.)—0n Saturday evening last _about five minutes past
ten o'clock, a meteor, of a most extraordinary size and
bril-
liancy passed over this city (Richmond), in a direction from the
North East to South West. It is represented by persons who
saw it, as nearly the size of a barrel; that sparks were emitted
from it in every direction; and that it left behind it a trail of
light of great length; and it was thought by some that they
heard a hissing noise as it passed over them. The passengersin
the Western stage saw it as they were passing near Johnstown.
Axoxisza AGCOUNT.-00 Saturday evening last, whilst sitting
In our dwelling, which fronts the North, a silver light, if pos•
sible more bright than the Sun, and singularly beautiful, corn-
plettly filled the room; in a moment the meteor exploded, re-
sembling the fire of a musket, leaving behind it a wide stream
of fire, which was visible more than ten minutes.
Surautaa Cass or Issotvzsev.—ln the Insolvent I)ebtors'
Court, yesterday, William Ritchie, a private in the Guards, was
heard on his petition. Ile was not opposed; but the Chief Com-
missioner, Ia looking over his schedule, observed,, he attributed
his insolvency to a very curious circumstance, namely, to that of
finding One IfundreJ Puund.i / It appeared from the answers to
the interrogatories put by the Learned Commissioner, that the
insolvent some time ago, in passing through Oxford-street, found
this sum in five notes for £lO each, and one £5O. The tens he
gave to a person of the name of James Wright, to get them
cashed, wha absent:4l. The fifty he presented himself at the
Bank of England also to be cashed. Ile was detained and given
into custody, and taken before the Lord Mayor,, and subse-
quently brought before the Magistrates four times, and was
finally discharged. Ile was then urteated by Nir. George Thom-
sod, the owner of the notes, and bin only creditor. The Chief
Commissioner, in adjudicating bins to the benefit of the Act,
cautioned him not to And another huatked pounds, and ordered
him to be inintedtatuly discharged. •
