'MARCH XXXI. PAYS.
According to the lionlati calendar, this month is the third of the
vf.nr. It appears that Romulus, when he divided the annual circle.
reckoned this the first, awl gave it the name of his supposed father
Mors; but several nations of the Latium adopted another order ef'
months. P,-rhaps it was originally consecratcd to this deity, on ac-
e,oint of the Eeasim InComitio inure fit for warlike expeditions ; it was
placed under the protection of Minerva for the same reason. The Ides
of March were ever esteemed unlucky since the assas-inatioo of Julius
emsar. On the 10th, the Sum enters the silo of Aries. The Ram was
adopted by antiquity as the symbol of the first month of the year, in
allusion to his leading the flock, as 11Iarch reads the rest of the months.

time of King Arthur, who is said to have been his nephew. He was •
eminent for his religious and patriotic virtues, in the middle of the sixth
century. This clay is annually commemorated in Wales as a festival.
In London, the Welsh people walk in procession to St- Martin in the
Fields, where prayers are lead in the vernacular tongue, or ancient
Gallic ; and the ceremony, which is attended by many noblemen and
gentlemen originally from that country, is. of course, fAlowed by a
i good dinner at the Crown and Anchor. The castom Of w.nrinct leeks
lon that day, is supposed to have originated from, and kept in corn.,
1 memnration of a great victory obtained by the Welsh army over the
Saxon invaders. They seem to have agreed before the • WIC(' to fix
1 leeks in their hats. in order to Ire butter known to each other in the
affray; this plant being accidentally at hand in a field near the spot
where the mighty conflict was to tike place. nttd the only thing they
could take hold of to answer their purpose. This day was also a day
