A bundle of Condolences The Salem Regis.
ter OF yesterday has the following paragraphs de.
failing certain wonderful condolences connected
with the late phenomenon OF shooting stars:
1t appears that Captain Hammond, Of ship Re-
stitutIon, and his crew, who arrived at this port
last week from Palermo. have had the extraordi-
nary good fortune of witnessing this wonderful
phenomenon tUice wiihin year-the ship Dr..
ing in our bay on Wednesday morning, bound
in. They saw the meteors as early as twelve
O'Clock, and viewed them ill ay.light. The
appearance of the heavens was very similar to
that of an occurrence which happened exactly on
tine same dav Of the month and year. at Mocha.
in the Red Sea, where they went for pepper. -
Captain Hammond thus describes the sight at
Mocha, in an extract from his journal, written at
the time.
