CORNWALL.

The evening of the 15th ult. was diftinguished at Falmouth by a fingular phoenomenon: about eight o'clock, the atmosphere being exceedingly clear, a fpecies of luminous belt was obferved, extending itself across the entire hemifphere, in a direction nearly eaft and weft. It was narrow, and fo rare (according to the obfervations of fome fpectators), as to admit the view of a few bright fars through it. It difappeared about ten o'clock, having, during its continuance, frequently changed colour, affuming, at times, all the tints of the Iris. It appeared to refemble, in fome refpects, and in others to differ from, the lunar rainbow, which has been fometimes, though rarely, obferved. Various conjectures have been formed refpecting the nature of this phoenomenon, the moit plaufible of which feeins to

be, that it was a thin ftratum of vapours, ftrongly illuminated by the moon, and by the Aurora borealis, which appeared at the faune tune.
