On Saturday, the 17ih Inst, a large ball of five, (or mejeor,) was seen in the upper part of St John's;- Berkley, about fifty or sixty miles from town. Soon after its first appearance, it was jeard to explode, with a noise, at first, like the discbarge of a heavy piece of ordnance ; and afterwards emitting a sound similar to a volley of musketry. ' The explosion Was heard at a dis'ance of twenty-Jive or thirty miles from the spot where the light was most brilliant. It ia probable we shall soon hear of a fall of meteoric stone having been discovered in the neighborhood of St John's. Since writing the above, we have conversed with a gentleman recently from Sumptervillel who informs, that whilst travelling homewards, aboutjeighty miles from town, he distinctly heard the above-explosion ; and that a loud rumbling noise followed, of three or four minutes duration. This noise was also distinctly heard in Sum ter, about' one hundred mile9 distant.
