A couple of bales of cotton on the decs
of the 8teanship Benefactor, which was
leading at the New York wharf yester
day, caught fire from the sparks of a
passing steamer, but fertunately the dis
covery of the fire was made before the
bales had become ignited well and the
donkey engine cf the steamer, which was
immediately brought into requisition, was
soon throwing a stream of water through the
hose belonging oi the steamship that
would have extinguished the fire on ten
times aa many bales in short order. No
damage.

From Captain Worth of the steamer
A. P. Hurt, and Cptain Green of the
North State, both in this morning from
Fayette ville, we learn that the recant
snow storm extended to Fayetteville with
about the same fall ef snow, there as there
was in this city, but between here and
the above named point the snow was, in
some places, about eight inches deep.
Tke r ver ii reported some ten inches
deeper on the shoals, which increases the
water there now to about two feet and a
half, and as soon as the thaw takes place
and the snow in the up country com
mences to melt, we are told that the boat
ing facilities will be very much improved
and there will be plenty of good boating
water. I

A Meteoric Display Sure Enough.
Those wko were disappointed at the
failure ef the meteoric shower predicted
by a bogus astronomer in St. Louis, for
the night of the 13th, will receive conso
lation in the fact that, according - to a
statement jmade by j Prof. Richard A.
Proctor, oae ef the most eminent astrono
mers now living, in a lectire in New
York, last Thursday night, we are to have
one sure enough. On the night of Ne
vember 27th, the lecturer said, we may
expect to see a beautiful display of mete
ors radiating from a point near the star
Gamma, in the right foot of the constella
tion Andromeda, which is now nearly
overhead at abont 10 o'clock at night. It
has been ascertained that meteors follow
in flocks in the tracks of comets. In
1846 Brela's comet was observed to- split
in two. The two parts each had a head
and tail, and they rushed om aide by side
now one appears the brighter, and now
the other, until they disappeared. At
their return, in 1852, they were yet keep
ing up their swift race, but they had very
much changed in form. In 1859 their
perihelion passage' was too near the sun
to permit them to be observed. In 1865,
when thoy should have been seen again,
they could not be found. They were missed
inl8Gl. Bat it bad occurred to Alexander
Herschel and to Professor Proctor that at
i
the time when the earth crossed the path
of those comets it would be well to look
ourvor meteorj. leteors were looked
forj and a very brilliant display was seen
on November 27th, On next Thanks
giving night this swarm of flying meteor
will again come flying out of the northern
heavens, and Professor Proctor predicts
that then there will be a brilliant display
in the sky. It may not happen, he said,
because perhaps the meteoric cluster may
have been dissipated, but he felt pretty
certain that there would be a display.
Ihe lecturer advised astronomers to keep
a lookout for about a week previous to
the 27th instant in a quarter of the heav
ens from which the meteors approach, in
order, if possible, to detect the c'uster as
it rushes end-on-end towtrds ths earth.

Under Fraudulent Pretences.
S. B. Newsom, of Cage Station, S. C ,
a small place on the North Eastern R R ,
was brought here to-day on a crim nal
indictment, charged with obtaining
money under fraudulent pretences. It
seems tha' in August or September last
Newsosa was in the city and obtained from
Messrs.. Kerchner & Calder Bros, the sum
of $4,000 with which he was to purchase
cotton and forward the same to the firm
here. At that time -Mr. Newsom stood
well in the Mercantile Agency and was
represented as being worth some $-40,000.
Since the m.irkot op neJ the cotton
came in so slowly that some suspicions
were aroused and Col. Kerchner went
over to Cage Station last Saturday to in
vestigate. He found Newsom very
agreeable and apparently willing to ex
plain everything to him, but in the midst
of his explanations he excused hiraselt to
Mr Kerchner.telling him that hehad a very
important engage nent on hand for that
hour but would return to Col. K. in
kn hour's time.' That gentleman waited
a long time, but Newsom did not reap
pear, and then, not wishing to remain,
there on Sunday, he boarded the train and
returned to Wilmington. On Monday the
firm learned that on Saturday night, at 12
o'clock, an assignment by ewsoiii was
registered, and they, thereup n sought legal
aid. The facts were laid before Col. B. U.
Moore, Solicitor for the Criminal Court,and
then the matter passed out of the hands of
Messrs. Kerchner & Calder Bros . It became
a criminal case, and as such is now on the
hands of the law. A requisition was
obtained from Gov. Jarvis and on Wed
nesday; Mj." Thomas O. Bunting left
here for South Carolina. The requisition
was duly honored by Gov. Simpson and
Mr. Buntiag returned here this morning
with his prisoner. j
It seems that Newsom has friends in
Goldsboro. He has been conducting a
business at that point for some time past
under the name of H. J. Hand and
through this house he has purchased
recently in Baltimore goods to the amount
of $20,000. !
He was, or is, a merchant, planter and
distiller and has been considered in mer
cantile circles as a man of means. I At
Florence, when en route to this place,
Newsom telegraphed to Goldsboro and
was met here this morning by Hon. W.
T. Dortch, who is to defend the case, and
Dr. G. L. Kirby and Mr. J. R. Smith of
Goldsboro. Newsom will be heard here
next Wednesday and in the meantime has
been released on bail, Dr. Eirby and
Mr. Smith being his bondsmen in the sum
of 2,500. !
