BRILLiANT METEOR SEEN IN THE DAY-rIME.-Ye Yes
terday afternoon, August ILL., just after the stone pill
lar for the support of the large equatorial telescope
was raised to the top of the Sears tower magnih-
cent meteor was seen, while the sun was shining,
from the top Of the tower, by Mr. Rogers the archi-
tect, and Mr.. George p. Bond.
II was first seen at elevation of about thirty de-
grees, and descended in an obque direction from
the north pole, towards point in the horizon few
degrees to the south of east II may be remarked,
that although this is just the period for the August
meteoric shower this meteor does not appear to be
Of that class for il certainly did not proceed from
the radiatng point of that shower which is near the
head of Perseus. The time of observation was five
minutes past six. The diameter of the meteor was
estimated at somewhat less than five minutes of a
degree. 1t increased in brilliancy it descended
but left no visible train, and no explosion was heard
II lasted above n second.
Meteors are unusually abundant this season, and
confirm the hypothesis Of the August period. Du.
ring an hours observation on the evening Of the
10TH Professor PIERCE observed sixteen meteors, Of
which twelve seemed to proceed from the radiatins
space. B. p.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.


Bursting of the gasometer al the Protestant Methodist
Church, al Allegheny city, near Piiisburg.- Sepsrai
persons badly burnt.
We learn from the Pittsburg Gazette, of Wednes-
day, that the previous evening, about half-past
o'clock, terrible accident took place in Allegheny.
The new Protestant Methodist Church in that city
is lighted with gas manufactured on the premises.
Something had gone wrong with the apparatus, and
several members of the congregation had assembled
for the purpose Of repairing it. While they were in
the act Of raising the gasometc- out Of the water,
supposing il to be empty, but which was mistake,
the gas ignited from candle, burst the gasometer
with loud report, and set fire to the gas-house.
The fire was quickly subdued; but the melancholy
part is the severely burning of several of the persons
present. The names, as far as could be learned in
the midst of the confusion, are as follows
Mr. Heron, the sexton, very badly burnt, not
expected to live; one report says he is dead.
Mr. Brown, pedlar, living on the Butler road
badly burnt; supposed to be dangerous.
VIM. Harms, esq, postmaster of Allegheny, badly
burnt, but thought not to be dangerously injured
Mr. James Russell, carpenter, had his head badly
cut, and is supposed to be dangerously burnt
Mr. Issler, very badly burnt, supposed to be dam
gerous.
Mr.. Henry Williams, grocer, slightly burnt.
The distress and confusion were great in the
neghborhood, that it found difficult 10 obtain
accurate intelligence. The report of the explosion
alarmed the whole neighborhood, and the light was
very brilliant. The main body Of the church was
not injured.

RELATIONS WITH MEXICO.

The National Intelligencer' Of this morning
has done the honor Of devoting an article to the
"Union." 1t says that "the official paper of the
night before last honors the Intelligencer with two
formal articles-the subject of both, our relations
with Mexico" We, too find that we have been
honored--not with "two formal articles" but with
two articles in one--upon the principle of the old
maxim, perhaps, of "king two birds with one
stone" But the important issue shall not be
changed, nor doubled, nor quadrupled, nor mysti-
fed, by any learned reference which the Integencer
may please to make to the Delphic oracle Upon
this portion of the heather mythology, the official
organs of foreign influence may feel themselves to be
at home. They seem to understand every recess of
the Pythoness' cave and every room of the Delphic
Tempe--so perfect is their acquaintance with all
the mysteries and obscurities of the deity-so per.
fectly they wrapt up in the clouds in which they
are enshrouded, whenever they pretend to discuss
any subject which touches our Mexican relations.
Let them worship, however, at whatever shrine
they may prefer. Be it our duty to consult the best
interests Of our own country, and to present the
plain issue of fact and Of principle again to the
serious consideration of the American people, The
question which was embraced in the article on "Our
Relations with Mexico" is too plain to be mysti-
fed-too direct to be put aside by any collateral
issues which may be attempted to be raised.
The National Intelligencer pays us the compliment
of charging both these articles to "some of the tried
and distinguished members of the democratic party,
who 'hnye accepted Office under the administration,
and who have already iberally contributed their
literary labors to- his benefit" We could really
wish tho lntegencer had some adviser at lis elbow,
who could assist it with his ''literary abors,n or
who could even save it from the political blunders
in which 1t occasionally falls-such as sometimes
tumbing into morass, and then laborng to founder
out oFiti--frst advising the administration to en-
ploy or iroops to defend our rights in Texas, and
the7 s''snping to retreat from the position which
1t Occupied. This is the only harm we wish il.
But as to its own assertion in relation to the two
articles in the "Union," we assure him that il il
groundess, and destitute of truth. Not even Mr.
Bancroft has had any hard in the Mexican articles as
has been charged by correspondent of the New
York Tribune, nor any one who has accepted of.
