 meteors were very red and brilliant. The wind blew briskly 

 from E.N.E., and freshened after every meteor. The coinci- 

 dence between these and those before seen in America and 

 Europe (p. 289. 385. 611.) on this day of the month is curious ;

 of no uncommon character. One meteor fell to the south of 

 Ursa major, and appeared to pass between Cor Caroli and 

 Arcturus. There were no trains. Should any correspondent 

 of the Magazine have made any farther observations, I shall 

 be obliged for the statement of them. — W, B, Clarke,
