LOCAL AFFAIRS,

MBTEyE.-A large and brilliant meteor
passed over this and the adjoining States on
Friday evening last, about 10 o'clock, which
excited considerable interest among all who
had the pleasure or fear cf seeing it. Its
course, as witnessed by the editor at York,
appeared to be a few points north of west to
wards the east, emitting a strong white light,
tinged with blue. To some it had the an
pearance Of two three, and four balls of fire.
probably caused by reflection. The impos
ing sight was witnessed from the Lakes into
the Southern States, so that its height from
the earth must have been many miles, pro-
badly hundreds. Various theories, says the
PhiIadel phia Inquirer, have been advanced as
to the cause Of such phenomenon. The gen
cralsnpposItion is thatthese bodies or substan-
ceS have their origin in the atmosphere Elec
tricity, magnetism and hydrogen gas have
been made responsible for the peculiar effects
Another idea is that the meteors are the pro-
ducts Of nebulous matter, of the same nature
OF the tails of comets, floating in planetary
regions, and which, when it happens to be
near the path of the earth in it's revolution.
Is attracted 10y terrestrial gravitaton. Still
another theory is that there is Il zune Of Tit
tie bodies whose orb intersects the plane Of
the ecliptic, and which are encountered bv
the earth every time which it passes the point
Of intersection. If the meteor of Friday was
an 1rolite, or fire ball, having a stone or sol
ID mass for Its nucleus, there are four theo-
RES to account for its appearance. Accor-
ding to some, such Mrolitcs may be projected
from volcanoes on the earth, which it NAV be
remarked is exceedingly improbable. The
theory which finds the most ardent support
erS, is the one already advanced, that the
stones are formed in the atmosphere by an
aggregation of matter, the result Of gaseous
vapors. The fourth view is that they are
diminitiye planets drawn to the cartli's sur
face.

In FoR IT.-Heenan has another fight on
his hands. He has adopted the pugilistic
art for a profession, and, we presume, is
prepared to take all corners, where the
stakes are large enough to make fighting an
object. The London Spiriting Life says:
Immediately after the settlemen: of the
matter between Sayers and Heenan, Bob
Brettle, on the part of Sam Hurst, the Sta
ley bridge InfaBt, challenged Heenan to
fight for E200 q side and the champion s
belt, and placed E25 in tbe hands of the edi-
tor of Bells Life, making $50 now down on
the Infants behalf. The challenge was at
once accepted By Heenan, who covered the
money deposited. Articles are to be drawn
up immediately, and forwarded to Bob Bret
tie, at Birmingham, for signature, and the
new opponents are to fight within six months.
This will interfere with Heenan's proposed
tour in the United States with Sayers.
