A remarkably brilliant meteor was seen 

 at EmWedon, near Alnwick, Northunibcr- 

 Land, »n the night of the ^nd ult. It had 

 the appearance of a fixed star, rather to 

 the south of the zenith; but, at about 25 

 minules after ]1, it expanded with a bril- 

 liant pale moonlike liglit, which continued 

 while the meteor darted towards the 

 north; it then assumed the appearance of 

 a comet, the liain (ten times the length of 

 the body) being very brilliant, and of vari- 

 ous colours. After Iraversini:/ about six- 

 teen degrees, it re-assumed its first figure. 

 Its course was direct, and the brighlnei<s 

 was intense.
