_ variation of atmospherical phenomena for the last
months has puzzled the most acute meteorological oh-
rem, and the most accurate instruments used in taking
ae observations hare varied so contrary to general priti-
lel, as to destroy all dependence upon them. The baro-
ter for the last ten days has stood as high as has heat
iieed for many years, and the temperature of the atm-
- on the 9th of this month at 53. when on the 13th
. June it was 33, making a variation of 20 degrees.
Com mox LAW.—An idea has been started by Mr. Li-
aptor and a Committee appointed to revise the civil cod:
Imisirtna. to have no traditional law—but to apply by
andel-II of common sense general rules previously re-
Aised and sanetiored to lariicular cases ; and this Com-
twe in their report further propose, that all cases not
shraced by this principle shall be reported by the Judge
the Legislatnre ; and tlsis,after receiving their sanetion,also
ail form the law of the land. Mr. Sampson, in writing
Nlr. Livingston on the subject says—" And as to the
anion Law, the only evidence of it is in reports of cases
Av become so t:umerous as to bid defiance to all certainty
• precision, and, like suspicious and suspected witnesses,
lled and examined to contradict and confront each other.
rwhich kind of jurisprudence come these evils--the loss
'time, the enfeebling of the faculties, the uncertainty of
'figment, the discreSit of the law, the tediousness of ar-
mats, the delay of just the encouragement of chicane,
rd the ignorance which must result from too many, as
tell as too few, books ? for, if there was a day whets mew
'ere ignorant for want of books, so there is or.e when igno-
Mee procceds from having need of too many."— Ira.thiagu

CONVENTS I): Carte —ln a file of Buenos Ayres Pa-
len to the 7th of November, is a decree of the Govern-
rent of Chile, respecting the regular clergy of that State.
The widest door is cpencd for secularizing them, and the
SEUMptiOn of the habit of the monk is forbidden till the
reachei the year of majority. The following is an
nide of the law :—" That they may be exclusi%ely de-
;>ted tri their ministry, and may not be distracted aith
!ohne cares, the Gov.ernment exonerates them from the
!ministration of their property." The friars, thus re-
mn human cares, are to have each a pension of Tun
taus a year.

COUSIN ATlON.—Notwithstanding the punishment in-
Seted on the persons convicted of combination at the late
JuLliu Lounnisaon, we have to record another instance
outrage committed by some persons who are leagued
sgether for the purpose of committing depredations on
lose unfortunate individuals whose anxiety to procure
mployment marks them nut as objects of tin it vengeance.
.Butler, in the employment of Mr. M`Kenny, of Thomas-
treet, was waylaid between Portobello Barracks and Clan-
►bssil-place, on Thursday evening, between five and six
'clock, by a number of men armed with bludgeons
rho assaulted him in a most unmerciful manner. and
ri-le his legs. The unfortunate man lies in the Meath
les?iial in a very dangeous state. We hope (Mt..
uf this d scription will be put a stop to by the police
'eking such arrangements as will not only Ming the
Anders to justice, but protect the industrious tradesman
:rem ti c sat:guiliary laws of those misguided individuals.
