INCE the breaking-up of the long frost, ploughing and field-culture generally has proceeded with all possible diligence, and in proportion to the facilities offered by the soil. The late and present renewal of the rigors of winter have occasioned some impediment, and also some degree of injury to incipient vegetation. The wheats, however, and all arable lands, will receive a full portion, this season, of the benefits which never fail to ac known to keep better,and never was there a more plentiful season of that most useful fruit. The low meadows have been generally flooded from the sudden thaw; and the wheats, so situated, are supposed to have received heavy damage. Cattle, and all stock, have done well at the homestall; all such as have been expos d abroad will take a long time, and expensive keep, to recover their lost condition and aptitude for thrift. Money is said to be scarce in the country, although its abundance is boasted in the metropolis. Prices, whether for corn or flesh meat, have suffered little variation. Wool a dull trade, with the exception of a few places, where the movement is not very noticeable. Nothing doing in hops: the stock on hand great. Horses of all descriptions fetch less money. Universal complaints of distress in the country. In the North, it is reported, that the labourer can scarcely, by his earnings, 'keep life and soul together,' and the poor's rates are fearfully advancing. Ten and twelve shillings per week, said to be the maximum obtained in the best counties for those labourers who can find employment. Heavy losses expected to be sustained by the destruction of the turnip crop, of which, a month hence, there will be full experience. Indeed, much hay and corn has already been expended upon cattle and sheep, and much expence incurred by the necessity of picking up the turnips from the frozen sort, where they could be at all come at. But all these difficulties and losses, in a long frost, seem insufficient to prevail on the unmindful farmer to take the easy and comparatively unexpensivemethod of storing part of his turnips, certainly one of the best and most profitable of his economical precautions. The 'heavy heart' with which the farmer proceeds in his labours, is reiterated through most of the reports. From the aspect of things, he can discover no hope of remuneration. This, indeed, may come to be a source of bitter regret to those who have sided with the measures, which, during the last five-andtwenty years, have brought such bitter distress upon the country; it may, in good hope, work a favourable change in their sentiments, and rekindle their patriotism; convincing them, that all remedies short of removing the whole burden of unnecessary and corrupt taxation, are mere plausi. ble and contemptible inanities.

The mean height of the barometer is about 0·05 of an inch higher than that of 1818: but the mean temperature and evaporation are somewhat lower; the former is 11⁄2 and the latter 10, Resulta Cirrus. 3 Cirro-stratus. Cirro-cumulus. 13 With the exception of a few slight thaws, namely, on the 2d, 6th, 17th, 19th, and 21st, the frost continued unusually severe, accompanied with cloudy and foggy weather, and frequent falls of snow, from the 1st to the 23d; it then broke up, and the remaining eight days were mild and cleudy, with light showers of rain. About two inches of snow fell between the 8th and 12th, and nearly three inches, accompanied with a gale of wind from the east, in the evening of the 20th; this last was the heaviest fall we had in the course of the month. A large, faint, but well-defined halo, appeared round the moon in the evening of the 23d. A few of the coldest days, with the minimum temperature of each annexed, are as follow, viz. the 1st, 19°; 4th, 1710; 5th, 250; 7th, 2410; 8th and 9th, 210; 12th, 1740; 13th, 22; 15th, 11°; 16th, 23°; 17th, 25°; 21st, 23°; and the 22d, 1910. The average for the month has not been so low since January 1815, which was 32.6. From accounts in the daily papers, it appears that the thermometer was between 80 and 10° lower in the country on the morning of the 15th. For instance, at Barton-street and Eltham, in Kent, it was down to 4o; at Tottenham and Stratford by Bow, 19; and at Blackheath, below sero. With respect to the barometer, the mercury was very unsteady, and the fluctuations were very great; the mean variation in twenty-four hours for the month amounts to 0.27 of an inch. The maximum is F higher than it has been for these five years, and exceeds that of the last month by half an inch. The minimum however is equally as low. The above papers also stated, that, in accounts which had been received from Christiana in Norway, it was mentioned that the barometer, on the 7th inst. rose there to the extraordinary height of 29 inches 16 lines (about 30.33 inches), which had not taken place there for many years; that the sea was eight feet lower on that day than it had been for the last twenty years, and that Professor Hanstein, who measured its height, made also some experiments as to the intensity of the magnetic, but found the needle in such agitation, that he could obtain no fixed result from his experiments. A. E. St. John's square, Feb. 18th, 1820. The thermometer at Sidmouth, situated north-east at Wallis's Royal Marine Library, during the month of January, average 36o, was never below 16o, and several days between 40o and 50o. A self-registering thermometer, exposed to the open air in Barton-street, Westminster, denoted the lowest degrees in the present winter as under: Dec. 11, 1819....139 Highbury.... 11 Jan. 1, 1820......16 POLITICAL AFFAIRS IN FEBRUARY.
