ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENON.—About half-past five o’clock on Wednesday morning last, just before sunrise, the atmosphere here assumed a most extraordinary aspect, it was pouring in torrents at the time amp massive clouds were floating about, when suddenly a lurid glare over-spread the south and eastern portions of the sky, as if a conflagration had burst out; this lasted for some minutes and then subsided into a most extraordinary and indescribable tinge of yellow, which gave every object on which the eye rested a most peculiar appearance. We learnt in the course of the day that the same thing was witnessed at Liss, about four miles from here, where the most striking feature of the scene, was the very singular appearance imparted to the leaves and branches of trees.
