Pisin ANOTHER GREAT METEOR.

Aboat eleven o'clock P. M., meas (imo, I was standing in my back yard, giving some directions to my servant, when I suddenly had my atten- ton attracted (o the western portion of the heavens by a ight. When I first saw it, it appeared to start from the vault of the heaveus, at an of about 20 deg, and {t was apparentiy of the wiz of a star of the first magnitude It was 80 low, and moved -o slowly (iu a direction nearly due north), that Ithought it was a candle carried by some one along a walk, winch was aboat one aundred ani fifty feet from my poston, and between which and myself intervened aifcoce Its motion was slow at first, but soon increased in vpeed. ond at thesame time the size and brilliancy tmerease!, until the whole of tae western portion of the ewes briliantly illummated, The light seemed to er (if ILmay use the expression) as it increased, Ube meteor expanding, as it were, by greatly increas ‘werements. In short, the light was such as woul have been produced by @ blaze, which kept shoot Bing bieher and higher, and spreading broader and Dreader. There seemed to be coruscatious Bhot of from the long train, which was soon @evelope’, and the light was of a color rather fmclinea to a yellow tint, taough It was not the same throughout, being whiter in the centre. As 1 before faid, the meteor appeared about in the west by south querter, say 20 degrees above the horizon. Its motiun ‘was almost due north, but inclined at an angle of some ‘W oegroes to the horizon. There was no noise attending ‘%, and, from my position, it was hidden by something fenther an oflice OF & grove of trees) bo'ore it fell so f it did reach the earth a! all, it did vo atter being hidden from my sight. Ian disposed to think that it @i4 pot fall, however, and that it not fallen yot. Its eourse was too nearly horizontal (in fact, might Dave been exactly 0), for it to fall im ‘Vicinity. I think, however, that the simplest explanation of the phenomena is this, viz:—that while | happened to be looking toward that quarter of ‘Ube heavens, the meteor was coming directly towards me fm ite orbital movement (for it must bo remembered that theee projectiles must move in a trajectory, ag ethers do, or in a conic section, as all the bodies of the folar system do.)

On Thursday pight, about dre? ten, a very singular illumination of the sky was seen in tbis city and vicinity, Mr. Jas. 8 Negley says of it, that bis bedroom became suddenly iluminated, and he saw something which ap- peared*to bim, more than anything, like a locomotive coming around acurve. Tuere was, like that, a mass of Nght, as it were, in front, and then a round globe of dame about the size of the moon, with a broad tail of dive, six or seven feet iopg. Bright sparks were profusely emitted, like those irom a skyrocket. He was so sur- prised that he thought it was the general “ smash up,”” and uttered an exclamation which brongbt up his wife & lady Visiter, and that they all three saw it dis- Hinctly, and give the same description of it. It seemed to come from a southeasterly direction, and went wast toward the Movongahela river, and remained in sight fully fifteen seconds. AS SKEN IN NASHVILLE, TENN.

Mowpay, Angust 6—6 P. M. The Custom House returns of the trade of the port for the month of July—being the first month of the fiscal year 1860-1—are completed to-day at the Custom House, and we present our usual com- parative tables:— Im .

For once, the importers appé@@f to have taken counsel of experience, and been moderate io their orders for foreign goods. The export trade of July was more active than the average; the quantity of breadstuffs exported was considerably larger than usual, Specie flowed Eastward at sbout the usual rate; the aggregate export of July was loss than that of July, 1859, which was an exceptional month in this respect. The amount received for duties was large, but not so large as that received in July 1559. Mr. Cobb is doubtless disappointed at the result. At this time last year the Powers of Europe were wrangling over the conditions of peace, and the relations between France and England were regarded as very menacing. The Congress of of July, and many large financial ngs were postponed till then, Consols, how- ever, were one per cent higher than they | are at present. The money markets of the world | showed symptoms of increasing activity, In our market money was worth 6a7 per cent on cil, and 7 per cent on short prime double name paper. | In England the money market was disturbed by the prospects of beavy public loans to pay the ex- penses of the Italian war, and another loan for India, In Paris the inquiry for money was also ac- tive; the restoration of peace had stimulated a re- vival of commercial and manufactaring enterprise. The heavy gold export from this port during the month of July had been followed by a relaxation in fallen to 110 a |}, and were thus} a j higher than they are at present. At 110 tho bankers stated that there was no margin for profit on shipments of specie against bills. Our stock market was in a condition of marked apathy and dulness. Sonth- ern State stocks were generally 14 1} per cent higher than they ore at present; but railway stocks and bonds were 10 a 20 percentlower. Reports of the Western crops were generally favorable; but the public secmed disinclined to take any- thing for granted, and were not operating in stocks; the business of the stock board was not one-fourth what it is at present, Politicaily, in this country, all was quiet. The month of July having been the first month of the new fiscal year, it only remains for us to subjoin our recapitulation of the business of the | port for the seven months which have elapsed of the current calendar year:— 1858. $8,106,719 + 6.200043 18.848.0 +11,729,702 9.820.456 11,100'025 18 670,724 <1 464,708 23. 662.646 10.116.442 24,060,521 | 18,506,737 27,286,120 } Total for 7 moe... $80,200,371 16,450,904 j Bayorts Domestic Produce.

The out ward flow of specic, which frightens some weak minded persons, is not rapid enongh to inconve- nience the banks or to affect the money market; it issimply 4 nataral healthy movement, by which we exchange fifty or sixty millions of useless gold for fifty or sixty millions of useful dry goods or hardware, or sugar, or tea, or coffee, and enable several millions of foreigners to buy a much larger quantity of our cotton aud our breadstuffs than they otherwise could, If merchants will, as a body, content themselves with doing a moderate business; if poople throngh- out the country, and expecially in the great North- west, will learn a lesson fron jhe past, apd not pend | Paris was expected to meet on the 2th | undertak- } their money a little faster than they make it; if the i tanks can be induced to think a little more of their future solidity, anda Uttle less of present dividends; if our railway companies, now that they have got or are getting out of the mire, ‘wil! try to conduct their business honestly and squarely, pay- ing no dividends which have not been earned, and running up no floating debts which they are ashamed to confess to their stockholders; if with all this Providence continues to be as gonerous to this nation as heretofore, it can hardly be doubted but the fiseal year just begun will be one of the most prosperous in our history. The bank statement made up to-day compares as follows with that of last week:— Ves anging Joans, — Specie, Circulation. Depovils. July 28. 129 74 298 23.099 728 8 TE 262 $4,284 150 Avgust 4... 190.118 247 22,124,189 9.176886 $3,446 988 Increase... $1,043 049 — 416,184 Decrease .. ae 587 — 437 602 This statement illustrates the remarks we made on the last showing of our city banks. The fall trade is commencing, and the banks are obliged to expand to accommodate their customers, both in the city and in the country, Money is needed hoth for the import trade in this city and to move the crops in the country. If the banks had been pru- dently managed, they would have met the emer- geney with a reduced discount line, and a strong specie reserve. They were imprudently managed, and now we find them with over $130,000,000 of joaus in the first week of August, losing specie and deposits, increasing their circulation and increas- ing their loans. It is plain our bank managers have learpved nothing since 1857, There is no change of consequence in the money market. Money on call is abundant enough at 5 a5} per cent, and prime short paper goes very readily at the same rate. For foura six months’ paper 6 a 6} is the rate, where there are two first class names, and 6} a 74 for single names, or two names less generally known, The recent failures in the hide business have made some parties sns- picious of hide paper; but there is so little of this class of paper afloat, and the strong houses in the “Swamp” are so strong that the uneasiness has had as yet no practical effects. The Sub-Treasury did a small business to-day; the receipts were $121,750, the payments $129,810; the balance this evening, $5,551,662. Foreign exchange is reported rather firmer to- day, but without change in rates. We quote 1093 110 for sterling, and 5.13} a } for francs. There will not probably be a heavy business done for the Canada from Boston on Wednesday. This has been the most exciting of the many ex- citing days we have had of late on the Stock Ex- change. The outside orders, judging from the ope- rations of the well known commission honses, must have been very general and very large this morn- ing, the Western stocks being, as usual, the favorites. We shall give some idea of the extent of the movement when we say that at the morning board Michigan Central advanced 5 per cent; guaranteed, 23; Toledo, 3; Rock Island, 3; Galena, 2; Illinois Cen- tral, Burlington, 1; New York Central, 3; Erie, ]. Between the boards there was a slight pause, which was mainly due to the enormous bu- siness in the way of transfers which devolved on the operators. In the afternoon the market was all alive again, and stocks closed firm at about the highest quotations of the day. It is probable that the telegraphic advices of a further advance in the British grain markets had a good deal to do. with the movement in stocks this morning. » O grain dealers are accused of having en large and successful ope- rators on the, Stock Exchange this season, and it is possible that they realized the effect of the advance in wheat at least as soon as other parties. Of the stocks Which advanced, there is very little that is new to be . Wehave ad- vices from the West of the neement of the grain movement, and it is probable, that it will tell upon the carnings of all the trunk lines this week. It will make no little difference in the receipts of the | roads leading into Chicago. The Michigatyshares arc moving apparently without the aid ofany-elique; the common stock of the Southern has not moved n proportion to the preferred. The Toledo stock i sted by rumors of a ‘settlement of the debt. It is currently reported that the scious and wealthy operator who has raised ison River from 20 to 57, aud is about to seo his labors rewarded by the commencement of divi- dends on that stock, has been induced to take a leading interest in Toledo; the mere rumor attracts buyers. Galena, notwithstanding the decline in receipts, jends enough to keep it firm at the advance; Illinois Central is put up by similar means. Rock Island appears to be left a good deal to the public, but advances rapidly on the strength of the increase and future prospect of traffic. The stocks of the trank lines were in re- qnest to-day; the Central rose 1} per cent. The only stocks which moved adversely to the market were Pacific Mail and Panama, which declined 3a 4 per cent. The strect is full of remors about Mr. Marshall 0. Roberts and his line. It has been boldly stated, by who should have known better, that the Te pec route was to be opened at once, and that steamers were not only being bought, but were being built, for the service; to-day the story is that Nicaragaa is to be opened. We regard all these tales os mere stock jobbing inventions. The only purpose they serve isto prove how utterly wnsafe a property Pacific Mail is to hold. The demand for State stocks and bonds continues brisk, and prices ad- vance. The Lake Erie and Wabash bonds are ia request at higher prices.
