WEATHER RIILES.—" The change of the moon," the
nd
inconsideratelyused by educated people, with-
ioesxupitdrlceyosnsaisonidering that in every phase that planet is the
same to us, as a material agent, except as regards the
power of reflected light ; and no one supposes that moon-
light produces wet or dry. Why then should that point
in the moon's course, which we all agree to call "the new"
when it begins to emerge from the sun's rays, have any
influence on our weather ? Twice in each revolution, when
in conjunction with the sun at new, and in opposition at the
full, an atmospheric spring-tide may be supposed to exist.
and to exert some sort of influence. But the existence of
any atmospheric tide at all is denied by some naturalists,
and is at most very problematical ; and the absence of
regular diurnal fluctuations of the barometric pressure
favours the negative of this proposition. But, granting
the moon, il what is conven-
ttihoantailtlywcae.rlelesrod, andtile
called the beginning of its course and again in
full, did
the middle, at the produce changes in the
of one moon differing from
weather, surely the most. sanguine of rational. lunarians
would discard
t in relati
another, excel:, on to the season of the year ; or
that a new moon on the Sabbath day, whether Jewish
thatta
or Christian, had any special quality not shared by the
newZmoons of any other days of the week.—Notes end

MANCHESTER WITHOUT POLICE.—On Friday night, in
consequence of the non-promulgation of an order made
by the watch committee of the'Manchester Town Coun-
cil, the whole of the police division cf the town was left
without patrols, the men having left the force, as their
notices of resignation
expired on that day, and the com-
mittee were not prepared for their withdrawal in conse-
quence of a misunderstanding. The heads of the police
had themselves to do duty as patrols -on horseback dur-
ing the night. Matters were arranged for Saturday
night by drafting men from the other divisions.
