PECULIAR AERIAL DISTURBANCE.
(PfcESS ASSOCIATION TELEGBAM.) WELLINGTON, Jannary 17. . Captain Killam, of the barque Star of the East, reports having experienced a most unusual aerial disturbance on the morning of the Bth January, when about 110 miles off Cape Campbell. The morning was beautifully clear and not a cloud to be seen anywhere. After a few flashes of lightning, which prompted the captain to shorten sail as quickly as possible, the vessel found herself in the centre of some extraordinary electrical disturbance, which lasted about 2£ hoars. The vessel's head went to all points of the compass, and at times she was carried round ia a circle as if in a whirl* wind. Captain Gillam eaya he never Gad such an experience during the thirty years he has bean at sea.
