MOST DISTRaSSINO
AND MELANCHOLY occvaasmci.

It is with the deepest sorrow that*. are to communi-
cate to the public the following tiobappy cent. On Friday
',ruin last (the thik ult.) Min Stratton was drowned is
a well, in the garden of Colonel lirotherton, at Portobello,
Dublin. She was the youngest daughter of the late John
Stratton, Esq. near Dundalk, and Lady Easily Jocelyn, Si,
ter to the late Earl of Roden, and to the present Bishop of
Clogher. She bad newly attained the eleventh year of her
age. It is riot yet three weeks Mime the death of Mr. Strat.
tor. Lady Emily, the mom madam said feeling of women,
tenable to regnant at their seat, Usoawilly, where she had
received such • shock from the death of the kindest and the
most amiable of Isuahauds, had gone to remain fee name
time with her only daughter now living, MA. libmihertott„
and while sitting is one of the windows on Friday aftereete,
saw her beloved child, from whom she expected tbet hid
happiures of her latter years, fall iutu a deep drair well is
the garden, where she had been amusing herself. She in-
stantly flew to the spot, and precipitated herself into the
fatal pit after her child. Assistance was immediately given;
from Miss S. the vital speak was fled fur ever. Lady Emily,
with much difficulty, was reamed to life and supreme
unscry.—(Dithlis Patriot)

THE wain-Awn.
.

A change has taken place in the weather which has hi-
therto been so ustgeui•l. June has comet:iced with all the
beauty which Whoop to the season.
The hope lb the Deiglibuorhoad of Ucklield, FraniGeld,
Boated, &c. bays suffered much from the late severe
weather.
The core-fields is general had horse a very sickly appear-
ance; but the charge of weather, *ohne these few days, has
operated much iu their f , and the wheat in particular is
fast recovering.
luterealiug extract from a AlleteandogicalJoonial for May,
1821, kept at the Observatory of the Academy, Gosport.
The weather ibis anooth has bees geoerally cold, stormy,
and accompanied with blights; sod the evapneation was
slow for the season. It is massy years since snow was seen
in ibis lieighbourhood in May; however, it MI to pretty
thick tufts and large lakes on thelldth, 47th, and WWI is-
slant, at mid-day, and on the 27th it actually cornett the
verdure on the 'rattan...ideal Purtaduwa-bill,Nutwithstam4
lag its proximity to tile sea, whirls certainly moderates the
cold air. Much hail and some Orel have also fallen with
the heavy showers of rain. We have had several hoar-frosts,
in one of which the thermometer was brought down to the
freezing point. A greet portion of the fnut blossom, and
the young fruit that was setting, particularly that of pears,
were cut off in the middle of the month; the wall fruits too
have felt the effects of the frosts. _ _

The Mean temperature of this period is upwards of 31
degrees km than is May last year, 3 1-3sl deg. adder the
mess of Slay for the last four years, soul only 1-4th of a
degree higher time the preceding month (April). So cold
were the hailstorms to the earth, that the mean temperature
of spring water nes lemeocd half a degree from the middle
to the close of the month.

The whams temperature of the ale this smooth (69.) is
b. less than that of lad—and it is remediable, that the
smaximum temperature fur she 23d instate., was 23. lower
thaw that of the 26th ultimo. Such is the peculiarity of
our air, that after sumo data of but weather, we experience
the opposite extreme. rue the calorie reulaimed is the col-
lectien of yappers in the atmosphere !wing materially ths-
aipated by local thismdrr storms, chills the air till it is re-
stored again by sular influeuee.
The barometer has sheen bold cur 1 the lime of the
greatest falls of reap, sod the aggregate of the spaces de-
sc►ibed by the oscillatioas ii above the mean, fur the month
of May.

The mean diurnal Male of the air, as ascertaised by Dc
whalebotte hygrometer, to Neatly b. lower limo its

affectrd is its muting tots ards the driest point by a nitre
