-A phenomenon occurred on Saturday night, the
22d Instant, between ten and eleven, at Lambourn,
Berics. A Medical Gentleman and his servant were
returning home, and were startled by a sudden and
brilliant' light, which rapidly crossed the 'heav,ens,
from south to north, and, appeared to lose itself in
the north, but not to decline towards the earth. When
eke light disappeared, a violent rumbling noise was
beard from the north, and appeared to diverge to the
east and,west : the last sound of it was heard in the
west, like the bursting of a large cannon. The noise
curetted thunder, and continued nearly five seconds.
The heavens were beautifully clear and starlight, both
before and after this occurrence.
We are happy to learn, that a Bill now pending in
Parliament, by the Royal College of Surgeons, is in-
tended to put an end to that herd of advertising quacks
who impose on public credulity in the treatment
of a certain class of disorders, where delicacy and
honour. are so much required. The only Institution
,at this kiwi which has a real claim to public confi-
dence. from the dignified patronage -it has received,
and from its extensive benefit to the Public, since its
coin mencement, is the Lock and Surgical Dispensary.
The Surgeon to this Establishment, Mr. Kunsan,
is distieguished no less by his high Professional talents,
- than by his being a Member of the Royal College of
burgeons, London. He is extensively consulted every
day by both Sexes, at his House, mil, Lower Char,
