SINGULAR PHENoMENoN.-On Saturday last
between five and six o'clock p. VI. the attention
of our cItiZens was attracted by the extraortina-
ry appearance OF the sun. The predcmiuating
color Of the rays of light which it transmitted was
a pale blue or violet, varying occasionally from
that to sea green. A large spot, apparently of
the size of dollar. also visible to the>-na-
ked eye on its lower limb. On Sunday morning
it exhibited the same unusual appearance. cast
ing blue shade over the otjeeTs on which it
shone, and at six O'Clock on Monday evening ITS
whole face was Of pale green color. 1t was
not seen yesterday. The sky was thlckly over
Cast with clouds. and violent storm set in last
evening from the southeast, The winds were We
ry high during the night. and this morning at six
O'Clock, the water of the bay was on level with
most of the wharves. Commerce street, from
Barney's new building north. and from Cont ST.
South is now under water, as is also the North
end OF Water Street, There is every appearance
of a continuance of the storm. and should the wa
ter rise much higher, great damage will inevita'
