A Society, for the promotion of Agri- 
culraral and Internal Improvements, is 
_ at length eftablithed in ¢he Weft Riding. 
A letter has appeared in one of the 
London prints, addreffled ta the con- 
ductor of the paper, from Edward Top- 
ham, Efg. dated from his farm at Wold 
Cottage, in Yorkthire; the purport of 
which is to confirm the very fingular 
- account refpecting the defcent of a ftone 
from the atmofpherc, near Mr. Top- 
, 
Provincial Occurrences. me 
ham’s:houfe, on the zoth of December, 
1795. Mr. Topham fays he has no 
doubt of the truth of this relation. 
When the ftone fell, a labourer was 
working within nine yards of it; anda 
carpenter and groom of Mr. Topham’s 
within ten yards. The labourer dif- 
tincily perceived it in its fall, at the dif- 
tance ot about ten yards from the 
ground. A number of explofions were 
heard by the three men, at fhort in- 
tervals, as loud as the report of a piftol, 
at the time the ftone fell. In burying 
itfelf in the earth, it threw up a quan- 
tity of foil more confiderable, and toa 
greater extent, than a fhell would have 
done. At Bridlington, and feveral vil 
lages, noifes were heard like that of guns 
at fea. At two neighbouring villages, a 
noife war heard, as of fomething pafiing 
through the air, towards Mr. Top- 
ham’s habitation, and fome perfons came 
to enquire concerning it.—The ftone 
weighed, on being dug up, 3ft. 13!/b.— 
Its texture is that of grey granite, of 
which there arc none that can be called 
natives of this diftrict—The ftone {melt 
very ftrong at firft, and was ftrongly 
impregnated with fulphur. 
On February the 13th, the moft terri-

of buildings compofing the premifes are 
deftroyed; and, as an additional misfor- 
tune, by the falling of one of the walls 
during the conflagration, feven perfons 
loft their lives, and twenty others were 
very dreadfully mangled or bruifed. The 
property was infured.
