FALLING SroNEs-An account has been re-
Ceived from Brazil, Of the appearance of a me-
teOr of extraordinary brightness, as large as the
balloons used by eronauts. 1t was seen for
more than sixty leagues, in the province of
Ceara; and over the village of Macoa, at the
entrance of the Rio Assn it burst with noise
like thunder, and an immense quantity of stones
fell from it, in a line extending more than ten
of the dwellings, and buried themselves several
feet in the sand. No human life was lost, but
many oxen were killed and others severely
hurt. The weight of those taken out of the
sand varied from one to eighty pounds.

THE MP.

The manager Of the " little Camp lii up his
Press, and few other friends last night, for the
purpose of nscertanng the effect Of the new deco
rations 1t was every way successful. The whole
has undergone entire change Since the finish
of las, srassn the house has been as in state OF
chrysalis: the dirty grub worm is now transform cd
into the bright, and beautiful, butterfly. Where
all before was dark, and dingy, now reign taste
and eegaace. The miserable brick dust hue
which so lately deformed the houss, has been
banshed most effectuay. The ceiling, while il
retains the classic figures Of the pas, has been
lightened up by changing the ground work, re
painting the panels, cleaning the borders, and
throwing over the whole novel as Get. The
fronts of the boxes have been reprinted in Geek
scrolls OF truly elegant character, thrown up and
relieved by shadows suited to the position of the
lights Each circle, though parlakiug the same
style, differs essentially from the other; and the
pure taste Of the design, less than the skill If
It's execution, fleets Infinite credit on the ludg-
ment that suggested, and the hand that accom-
,,lished it. The ariis, is Mr.. Cowell, senior, who
has proved himself us fine painter, as he is an
excellent actor; and ii is with pleasure mention
hat he has made up his mind to remain perma-
nently in our city, and devote himself to the
" brush'' when his "sock" is out of use. The
excellent good taste which pervadeS the whole, is
quite ere dilable. as The marked skill with which
he design has been carried out. From floor TO
soof, from door back, from side to side, oil is
| fresh, clean, light, and elegant. The new drop
S, enc is spIendidly executed, and looks quite en-
s,1k with the other decorations. indeed one OF
the most agreeable pursuits in the whole, is, the
perfect harmony of colours it d'p'eys. The pro-
srnium is somewh hat altered, and greatly in
! proved. The Saloon is quite picture gallery.

We yesterday planned, and justly too we
think, Of the want of careful watch, as display
ed in the crcums ances We then menoned since
then we have learned the cause, which while it ex-
onerates the captain Of the Watch from any thing
like reproot, call loudly for reform in other quar-
tiers. There IRE but SO watchmen allowed for the
whole of the st and 81 wards Of this Municip,l-
ty, out Of which seven are Detailed for extra duty
IN sPseial situations whence no possible contingen
ey can remove them, and eight more Of the men
were sick, thus leaving emily eighteen en- tor ac-
tive duty. With this contemplate fore. it was
utterly impossible TO keepa suitable watch ever
one half the street. In case Of sickness il ia pal
pable that the captain Of the Watch should BIO au
thorlssd to place o,hers in the places Of tho absen-
tees, but as he is allow ed to do by law, tn
fault rests not with him: the remedy must ema
nate from higher quarters. The drunken and dc.
based being, who was found in that exposed and
filthy state, woke trem his ethnrgy in some ha II
hour, only to CURSE and abuse, those who had cav,
ad his worthless life.
