THIS day, at 12.15 P.M., I was considerably startled by what was to me a remarkable phenomenon. The weather had been very ``thundery'' all the morning, and heavy rain was falling in torrents. I sat at my desk by a window looking out upon a court inclosed by high walls. Chancing to look out of the window I heard a sharp report, just like the crack of a Snider rifle sounding immediately outside, followed instantaneously by the descent of a ball of fire about the size of an ordinary gas-lamp globe. This fell vertically and with lightning speed, but when just on a line with the centre of my window burst into a splendid mass of rays, whitish-blue in colour, and of dazzling brilliancy. That is all I can tell you about it. Every one in the house heard the report, and quite a temporary panic ensued. No material effect of the meteorite's presence can be found.
