tine form After twelve months observation,
Mr.. Dick was enabled by observing some
which we're longer than others, to decide that
they were birds, whose bodies were illuminated
by the solar rays, rejecting light enough to
produce the appearance. In hot summer q
day, when similar phenomenon had been
observed, there was every reason to attribute
it TO number Of winged instruments flying al
no great distance from the telescope. Mr..
Dick observes, that Professor Hanscin's ac-
count Of the kind Of motion as being unequal
aud resembling that Of a rocket, corresponds
TO the motion Of birds through the air. He
remarks, too, that an appearance observed by
the late Mr. b. Martin, Of certain bright round
bodies running toyards the sun, when viewed
in particular circumstances, may be explained
in the same manner.
As for ourselves, we are not prepared to
swallow the theory Of Mr.. Dick, and have not
yet decided whether n meteor IL "A glutinous
substance, created BY bogs and fens, or bird;

Captain Potter, the next time meteor takes
n seat on the truck of his vessel, will put a
little salt on his metcorships tail, catch the
rascal, and bring him to M, that we may be
enabled 10 write a learned and scientific arti-
Gle on the subject, and in instant overthrow
the hypothesis of MIR. Dick and Professor
Hansten.

hJ-MErEoR.-As the New-York packet
soop Elza Ann, commanded by Captain Will
liam Potter, was proceeding down Long-Islonl
Sound, week since, about twelve O'Clock at
night, meteor quietly seated itself upon tic
truck Of the mast, where 1t remained sever Il
hours; but when the day dawned, in compl!-
ance with those rules which regulate supernat-
ural affairs, his meteorship took his departure.
Captain Potter afforded an interesting verbal
account Of all the acts and doings Of the me-
teor, but we are unable to describe them.
Meteors, u. they are called, are quite CON-
mon IN those sections Of the country which
abo.Ind with swamps and morasses, and have
heretofore been understood to be glutnols sub
etances, lighted with caIoric; sworn enemies 10
all water kings, and certain to lead to destruc-
ton and death those who are so unfortunate
az 20 follow them in their fight. But a late
writer in the Quarterly Journal, avows it as
his opinion that they are nothing more or less
than birds, who possess the attributes Of illu-
rn;nation. This writer, Mr.. Dick, has shown
pretty clearly the existence Of these BIRDS

0tPERsoNAL CoMBAT.--A personal COM
bat was had on Thursday morning, on the new
turnpike road leading from this town to the
village of Pawtucket. The comba'ants were
foreigners, residing in Boston, and At the first
hre, one Of them was dangerously wounded,
but we are happy to stale, that he is likely to
recover. OF the history Of this affair, we know
nothing, and the names Of the individuals we
have not learned; and if we were acquainted
with both, we should decline laying them be-
fore the public, as the parties, at least one Of
them have already suffered enough without be-
ing lacerated by newspaper. The parties
fought with their own consent, and at their
oAn suggestion and instance; and we are far
from being disposed to interfere with the diff
fcullies, in which others are involved. IL is
quite sui cient for us, that We attend to our
own affairs, and suffer others TO take care of
theirs
We learn that the belligerents sustained very
respectable stations in life; and that the sue
cessful one, as soon as he had seen his fallen
antagonist properly taken care of, took pas
sage for New-York; and thus the matter
rested. "A Duel is a novel thing in Rhode
Island; and the annunciation of this cncoun-
ter, caused no little excitement.
Since writing the above, we learn that the
Uouaded gentleman left Pawtucket, yester-
day morning, for the eastward.
