THE Barometer was high at the commencement of the period, and gradually sunk till March 1 and 2, when it stood at 28,88, the greatest depression, the wind being N. W. and S. W. From this time to the 16th, the mercury rose again, the wind being continually between the N. and E.: on that day it stood at 30. 52, the highest point during the period: since then it has subsided gradually on th 20th, the wind veered to the S. of the E., and a general breaking up of the frost took place, very gradually, after continuing, with little intermission, 12 weeks; its commencement having taken place on the 26th of December. The wind has been very moderate for the season, and the atmosphere almost continually charged with clouds.The thermometer has indicated a much higher temperature than in the table published in the last East Anglian; but lower by several degrees than in the same month in almost any preceding year; particularly than in the year 1812. In the next and succeeding Monthly Reports will be noticed the greatest degrees of heat and cold, as indicated by Six's Self-Registering Thermometer. There has been but a very small quantity of rain fallen in this period, not more than 1 inch.

verses in the following lines in his Epistle, on the characters of women:

Papillia wedded to her amorous spark,

Sighs for the shades!" How charming is a park!" A park is purchas'd; but the fair he sees

All bath'd in tears-" oh odious, odious trees." but he has very much improved on them by the introduction of a circumstance which strongly marks the lady's fickleness, and greatly heightens the ridicule.

"Congreve's Doris, that has been so lavishly flattered by Steele, has, indeed, some lively stanzas: but the expression might be mended; and the most striking part of the character had been already shewn in Love for Love."

JOHNSON Life of Congreve. The passages here alluded to, are probably the following:

But who o'er night obtain'd her grace,

She can next day disown;

And stare upon the strange man's face,
As one she ne'er had known.
So well she can the truth disguise,
Such artful wonder frame,
The lover or distrusts his eyes,

Or thinks 'twas all a dream.

Valentine. Why, Tattle, you need not be much concern'd at any thing he says: for to converse with Scandal, is to play at Losing Loadum; you must lose a good name to him, before you can win it for yourself.

Love for Love, Act 1, Sc. 11. Extract of a letter from Mr. Smith, late of Drurylane, formerly of Covent-garden, Theatre, Nov. 13, 1799.

"When I first played Valentine (1754) the second season of my acting, I considered Losing Loadum as a vulgar game of cards, for common cheats, like Putt, Beat Kaves, &c.; and have never thought of it since. An old lady, near 30, Mrs. L, who was a card player in her early days, drank tea with me yesterday. Q. "Did you ever hear formerly of such a game as Loadum?" "Yes; and played it frequently, when a girl:--a common, ordinary gaine.” She dealt, and shewed us the manner; a poor sort of two-handed wbist: "but," added she, "there was another game, called Losing Loadum, more difficult, and frequent in petty public houses, amongst cheats."

Tattle. I don't believe I shall sleep to night. Sir Sampson. Sleep, quotha! No, why you would not sleep o'your wedding night? I am an older fellow than you, and dont mean to sleep."

Love for Love, Act. 5, Sc. 11. Something like this occurs in the 4th scene of the second act of Ignoramus, between Cupes and his wife Polla. Polla, having, at her husband's request, consented to represent another woman, on condition that he should not bring home a lady for his amusement during her absence, he replies,

"Ah Suspicax! totas noctes tecum dormio
Dormis, equidem; maltem vigiles."
