QUEBEC, October 10.—Captain Hanson, of the back Pauline, from Cardiff, for Quebec, recounts a strange phenomena. In latitude fifty-five degree west, longitude forty-six degrees north, on September 2, during a rain storm a brilliant ball of fire lodged on the dock, and for a few minutes played about from the cabin to the forecastle prostrating the captain and two seamen with a loud report, the fiery visitor disappeared as suddenly as it appeared, without damaging the vessel.
