METEOR. —A largo 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 of 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 ap pearance i f two, three, and four balls of fire, probably caused by reflection. The impos ing sight was witnessed from the Lakes iuto the Southern States, so that its height from the earth must have been many miles, pro bably hundreds. Various theories, says the Philadelphia Inquirer, have been advanced as to the cause of such phenomenon. The geu oral supposition is that these bodies or substan ces have their origin in the atmosphere. F.lec tricity, magnetism and hydrogen gas have been made responsible lor the peculiar effects. Another idea is that the meteors are the pro ducts of nebulous matter, of the same nature ut the tails of comets, floating in planetary regions, and which, when it happens to be near the path of the earth in its revolution, i- attracted by terrestrial gravitation. Still itHvjtl.fr theory U that there is a zone of lit tie bodies whose orb intersects tito plane of the ecliptic, and which are encountered by the earth every time which it passes the p .int of intersection. If the meteor of Friday was tin aerolite, or fire ball, having a stone or sol ii mass for its nucleus, there are four theo ries to account for its appearance. Accor ding to some, such mrolites may be projected front volcanoes on the earth, which it may be remarked is exceedingly improbable. The theory which finds the most ardent support ers, is the one already advanced, that the sioi. s are formed in the atmosphere bv an aggregation of matter, the result of gaseous vapors. The fourth view is that they are diaiiaitive planets drawn to the earth's sui f ice. lOIOGRAPHICAL map of the Cuttntics of J'" y, Juniata am/ Mijjiin, from Aetna/ 8 initifi<- Surrey# /nj (J. M.
