Professor Bond, i'll brief communication to
the Boston Daily Advertiser, relative to the
meteor, tayors the theory that it was very
small planetary body" which came into our
atmosphere, and then, in disappearing, pass
ed beyond the atmosphere and resumed its
original character as a wamderer in the plan.
etary spaces. This theory is very fanciful, but
it does not seem to us very reasonable. Though
put forth by one or two scientific men, it GER
tainly was not born OF science. Before actual
ly adopting it, Professor Bond will do well to
explain satisfactorily how such body could
escape into the far away planetary spaces, after
coming, not only within the power of the
earth's attraction, but even into our atmos-
phere. There are some other difficulties with
this theory which should be explained before
it is allowed to have much currency For
instance, if such body could rush into onr
atmosphere and then hurry away again into
space, it would be likely to travel more than
thousand miles on line parallel with the
science, and, therefore, no scientific men, that
can explain such appearances satisfactorily.
Still, we should like to hear Professor Bonds
explanation of the difficulties we suggest and
we respectfully suggest, for his consideration,
whether it is not assuming too much, to as
sumo that every meteor is a solid body, May
it not be true that the meteor seen the other
night was nothing more than wonderful

MIR. THAYER,s SPEECH.

The announcement that Hon. Eli Thayer
would speak at City Hall, last night, and that
he would vindicate his action in congress,
drew ont large audience. Many democrats
as well as republicans were present. We have
a complete Photographic report of the speech
taken by Mr.. II. E. Rockwell and, in our
present issue we give more than halt of it,-as
much as the reporters could write out and get
revised for the printers, before it was necessa-
ry to go to press for the mails, and for the ear
ly distribution of the paper in the city. As
we have wished to make the report accurate,
all the sheets have passed under the eye OF
Mr.. Thayer, before the matter was put in
type. And, as we wish to have him see the
remainder, before it goes to the printers, we
shall reserve it for publication tomorrow
morning 1t seems to us desirable to prevent
any question as to the accuracy OF the report
that might arise IRON more rapid and care
less procedure with the printing.
We give all those portions of the speech
which were devoted TO the personalities, and
TO the admission of Oregon into the Union.
The portions to be given tomorrow morning
relate to Mr.. Thayer's votes on the bill to sup
press polygamy in Utah, on the bill to annul
the slave codes of New Mexico, and to his
action on the bills to provide governments for
the territories. The personalities are certainly
very sharp and this is not all that may be
said of them
In his remarks on Mr.. Aldrich he represents
that in the letter of "Viator' he is called Sub
chairman" OF the committee on public lands
"Viator" wrote it 'Such committee" and is no.
wise responsible for the sin of the types by
which 'such" was transformed into Sub.
We shall offer no further remarks on the
speech, at the present time. Those portions
of it which we may hereafter subject to some
criticism are not included III the first half,
which we print this morning we mean the
passages in which he sought to vindicate his
vote on the New Mexican slave code question,
and his action on the territorial bills.
After Mr.. Thayer concluded, the meeting
was addressed briefly by Mr., Philip of Hi
nois, and Mr.. j. NJ. S. Williams of Cambridge;
but their remarks were confined to the issue
made by the republicans against the demo.
crafts
