"THE extraordinary meteor mentioned in the Newcastle paper, &c., appeared over the Solway firth, directing its course South Eastward, the wind W.S.W. passed to the East of Wigton, seemed to be over Carlisle, and passed Newcastle also: but in order to account for its appearing at so many places, near the same time, it must have been kindled in the higher regions of the atmosphere, and been vastly higher than people imagined, whose computation was about 30 yards only, whereas it seems to have been as many miles at least, else it could not have appeared, almost over every place that we yet hear of; its tail and other appearances wou'd vary with the circumstances of its inflammability and motion. Yours, G.S."

Gentleman's Magazine 1758 p.427 
Sumary of the content of article XXIV in Philosophical Transactions, published by the Royal Society, vol.50 part 1,1757.  "XXIV. An account of the effects of a storm at Wigton in Cumberland."
"On Dec. 6, 1756, about 11 o'clock at night, a violent hurricane began, which lasted till near three in the morning; it swept away many stacks of hay and corn, unroofed many houses, and laid several in ruins, tore up some trees by the roots, and snapt others off in the middle, scattering the branches in fragments over the adjacent fields; some were twisted almost round, others split down to the root. Every herb, plant, and flower, to a considerable distance has its leaves withered , shrivelled up, and turned black; the leaves on the trees on the weather side were in the same condition, and the ever-greens only escaped. The alteration produced in the plants, leaves, and flowers, was at first supposed to be the effect of lightning, but it was afterwards found that though little rain had fallen during the storm, yet these vegetables were covered with a dew as salt as sea water, and retained a saline taste for near a week. It was then conjectured that the withered appearance of the leaves and herbage was the effect of this salt dew, as the same is known to happen to the leaves of hedges and trees, near the coast on that side next the sea, after a strong wind in that direction, which is supposed to bring the sea-water with it, the leaves next the land retaining their verdure."

"Wigton market was over, and its bare booths were smoking with rain all down the street. Mr. Thomas Idle, melodramatically carried to the inn's first floor, and laid upon three chairs (he should have had the sofa, if there had been one), Mr. Goodchild went to the window to take an observation of Wigton, and report what he saw to his disabled companion."
""Brother Francis, brother Francis," cried Thomas Idle, "What do you see from the turret?""
""I see," said Brother Francis, "what I hope and believe to be one of the most dismal places ever seen by eyes. I see the houses with their roofs of dull black, their stained fronts, and their dark-rimmed windows, looking as if they were all in mourning. As every little puff of wind comes down the street, I see a perfect train of rain let off along the wooden stalls in the market-place and exploded against me. I see a very big gas lamp in the centre of which I know, by a secret instinct, will not be lighted tonight. I see a pump, with a trivet underneath its"

""Brother Francis, brother Francis," cried Thomas Idle, "what more do you see from the turret, besides the man and the pump, and the trivet and the houses all in mourning and the rain?""
""I see," said Brother Francis, "one, two, three, four, five linen-drapers' shops in front of me. I see a linen-draper's shop next door to the right - and there are five more linen-drapers' shops down the corner to the left. Eleven homicidal linen-drapers' shops within a short stone's throw, each with its hands at the throats of all the rest! Over the small first-floor of one of these linen-drapers' shops appears the wonderful inscription, BANK.""
""Brother Francis, brother Francis," cried Thomas Idle, "what more do you see from the turret, besides the eleven homicidal linen-drapers' shops and the wonderful inscription 'Bank' on the small first-floor, and the man and the pump and the trivet and the houses all in mourning and the rain?""
""I see," said Brother Francis, "the depository for Christian Knowledge, and through the dark vapour I think I again make out Mr. Spurgeon looming heavily. Her Majesty the Queen, God bless her, printed in colours, I am sure I see. I see the Illustrated London News of several years ago, and I see a sweet-meat shop - which the proprietor calls a 'Salt Warehouse' - with one small female child in a cotton bonnet looking in on tip-toe, oblivious of rain. And I see a watchmaker's with only three great pale watches of a dull metal hanging in his widow, each in a separate pane.""
""Brother Francis, brother Francis," cried Thomas Idle, "what more do you see of Wigton, besides these objects, and the man and the pump and the trivet and the houses all in mourning and the rain?""
""I see nothing more," said Brother Francis, "and there is nothing more to see, except the curlpaper bill of the theatre, which was opened and shut last week (the manager's family played all the parts), and the short, square, chinky omnibus that goes to the railway, and leads too rattling a life over the stones to hold together long. O yes! Now, I see two men"

""Brother Francis, brother Francis," cried Thomas Idle, "what do you make out from the turret, of the expression of the two men with their hands in their pockets and their backs towards you?""
""They are mysterious men," said Brother Francis, "with inscrutable backs. They keep their backs towards me with persistency. If one turns an inch in any direction, the other turns an inch in the same direction, and no more. They turn very stiffly, on a very little pivot, in the middle of the market-place. Their appearance is partly of a mining, partly of a ploughing, partly of a stable, character. They are looking at nothing - very hard. Their backs are slouched, and their legs are curved with much standing about. Their pockets are loose and dog's-eared, on account of their hands being always in them. They stand to be rained upon, without any movement of impatience or dissatisfaction, and they keep so close together that an elbow of each jostles an elbow of the other, but they never speak. They spit at times, but speak not. I see it growing darker and darker, and I still see them, sole visible population of the place, standing to be rained upon with their backs towards me, and looking at nothing very hard,""
""Brother Francis, brother Francis," cried Thomas Idle, "before you draw down the blind of the turret and come in to have your head scorched by the hot gas, see if you can, and impart to me, something of the expression of those two amazing men.""
""The murky shadows," said Francis Goodchild, "are gathering fast; and the wings of evening, and the wings of coal, are folding over Wigton. Still, they look at nothing very hard, with their backs towards me. Ah! Now, they turn, and I see -""
""Brother Francis, brother Francis," cried Thomas Idle, "tell me quickly what you see of the two men of Wigton!""
""I see," said Francis Goodchild, "that they have no expression at all. And now the town goes to sleep, undazzled by the large unlighted lamp in the market-place; and let no man wake it.""
