THE LATE STORMS, &c.
THUNDER S rowc—Wedursday last a severe storm
of thunder, lightning, and rain, was experienced at
Knaresbrough, Boroughbridge, and their vicinity. The
peals of thunder were tremendously loud, and the light-
ning vivid and incessant. At periods during the storm
the rain fell in torrents. The fields, the hedges, the
trees, and the atmosphere itself, assumed the sublime
appearance of being enveloped in liquid fire.
BRIDLINGTON/ AUG. 29.—Sunday evening about nine
o'clock, a luminous meteor of dazzling brilliancy was
seen at Bridlington, for several seconds, in a NNE. di-
rection; in disappearing, which might be compared to
bursting, it presented bright sparklings of a reddish yel-
low colour. The night was beautifully clear and serene.
Fin, Auo. 3l.—Sunday evening last, at about a
quarter before nine, there was seen in this city (St. An-
drew's), a highly luminous meteor to the south-east of
the city. When it was first observed it had the appear-
ance of a comet of transcendant brightness, having a
nucleus of about half a degree in diameter. It appeared,
to shoot forth in 2 direction from SE. to NW. over a
circular path of about 35 deg. and gradually diminish-
ing in magnitude, until it finally. disappeared. What
was perhaps most remarkable in this meteor, was that
in its orbit it did not present an unbroken volume of
light, but appeared to throw out bright sparks in all
directions, resembling in some degree a sky-rocket.—
The same appearance was observed at Cupar at the
same time.

• STIRLING, Amor Si.
Sunday last was marked for the sudden rise which
the thermometer experienced, rendering the atmosphere
so sultry, that we were reminded of the late great heats,
and which was not diminished by the peals of distant
thunder that continued to grumble during the after-
noon. At a quarter to nine o'clock in the evening, one
of the grandest celestial phenomena that has occurred
fora long petiod was exhibited. The air was calm,
but there was a heaviness which indicated a surcharge
of electric matter. A vivid glare of light, tinging every
object with a pale blue colour, suddenly blazed forth in
the heavens, rendering the minutest object visible as at
noon day. The eyes of every person in the street were
instantly directed to the east, where a most sublime
sight met their gaze. A large body of fire, in shape
like a jirgonelle pear, and apparently of the size of a
bee-hive, was moving in a direction from S.W. to N.E.
with a rushing noise, something similar to that of a
rocket. It left behind it a very lung train, not of sparks,
but fluid-like, and of the most resplendent prismatic
colours. It continued visible for nearly fifteen seconds ;
having gone over a space of about 45 degrees, and de-
scended apparently so low that it actually seemed to
approach within a hundred feet of the e.trth. Having
assumed a deep crimson tint, it was extinguished with-
out any explosion, several pieces of red ma ter, like
cinders, falling perpendicularly downwards, which were
evidently the burnt remains of the nucleus.

In the discussion of the project of the Mexican Con-
stitution, it was objected to the preamble of the law,
that it mentioned the functions then in the course of
being exercised to have been confided to them " under
the auspices of the SUPREME BEING ;" and it was pro-
posed that " in the name of the Almighty Goo" should
be substituted. Subsequently, it was suggested, that
the words " GOD, three in one," should he adopted ;
but, after rather a sarcastic conversation, the origi-
nal expressions were agreed to.—Reports, on various•
matters of local or internal arrangement, were re•
ceived frt,m Committees which had sat, and days
were named for taking them into consideration.—The
Congress were then occupied with the discussion of
the question, " That the state of Mexico is an integral
part of the Mexican confederation." This, we should
hardly have exprcted, would have been denied, or re•
coiled to lie affirmed. It was, of con; se, carried in the
affi,mative. The Constituent Act swis at length voted
on the 21st of June to have been sufficiently discussed,
and adopted. A variety of propositions were brought
before the Congress, for the regulation of the tribunals
of justice; and, among other resolutions, one for the
I encouragement of vaccination was carrit.d.
John Bradshaw, millwright, has been examined en
a charge of breaking into the Old Methodist Chapel, at Leeds, with
intent to commit a felony. From the evidence, it appeared that on
the night of Thursday, the persons who occupy the house adjoining
the chapel were alarmed by some persons attempting to break into
1 their house. Having procured assistance, a search was made, when
a paic of shoes was found on the outside of the chapel, and on
entering it a box of phosphorus and matches, together with
chisels, gimblets, keys, and other impknienks of housebreaking,
were found in the chapel; on further examination it was found
that the floor of the steward's roam, which is over the library,
had been cut, and a hole made sufficiently large to permit a person
to get through; and upon a further search, the prisoner was found
lying under one of the seats in the Chapel without his shoes. The
master of the prisoner represented him as a steady, industrious,
religions young man, who had been a teacher in a Sunday School
upwards of a year, and who was to have beets examined on that
evening preparatory to his being admitted to preach.

BETTING-ROOM TATTERSALL'S, Sari. 4.

The betting, yesterday, left Belzoni about the same favourite as
at the Sporting houses in St. James's at the close of the week-9 to
4 was taken, but the closing offers did not reach quite so high.
Bedlamite went back a point, very heavy sums being hid against
him by one of the best judges in the room. It appears likely that
Mulatto will change places with him before the week is out, 10 to 1
being taken freely, and a good party to back him. Lord Wham-
cliffe's two keep pretty well together, with scarcely any variation
in the odds. Paul Pry went back a point or two, 14 to 1 being laid.
Tarrare is stationary, and The General has taken a more favourable
position ; few others ire deserving of notice. The current odds,
at six o'clock, may be thus quoted;

will decide whether he runs for the St. Leger.

THE RING.
CANNON atm Jam Batts.—Last night was appointed for making
the second deposit good of "0 a-side for this fight at Tom Cribb's.
Cannon was early in attendance; but on time being called, Jem
stated that his friends had disappointed him, and therefore he was
under the necessity of forfeiting the ten pounds down. He meant
nothing but fighting, but he could not come to the scratch unless
aided by his friends.
