Meteorological.—On Thursday evening last, occurred another of those wonderful electrical phenomena which have of late been displayed quite frequently in the heavens. At about two o'clock, the sky appeared of a copper red, as if a thousand cities in conflagration, were reflecting from its blue vault the glare of their destruction. The light was so great for a few moments as to dim and extinguish that of the stars, except a few of the brightest. The electricity of the atmosphere which usually finds a regulator in thunder storms, for its "demand and supply," appears this year, to have the same thing performed by the Aurora Borealis.
