bow's the time to diange our clime,
CommerceThuts his day=book;
Trade forgets his boot ordebts,
• PlCasure ope's his play-book.
Age throws off his winter cough,
Gout forgets Ins flannel ;
Small and great at Dover wait,
To cross the British Channt4.
London now is out of town,
Who in England tarries?
Who can bear to linger there,
.When all the world's in Paris ?

Jockies, Jews, and Parlez-vous,
COurtezans and Quakers, •
Players, Peers, and Auctioneers,
Parsons, Undertakers,
Modish airs, front .Wapping stairs,
Wit from Norton Fa'gate,
Bagatelle from Clerk enwell,
..And elegance from A ldgate.
London, now, &c.

City dames, the rage;inflatries, •
(The:s' know how to time it;)
'Mrs. 'Sinn is full of whims,
And hates our ggy climate. •
Mrs. Grill is very
Notiiiiig can improve her,
-unless she sees the Thuilleries,
And waddles thro' the Louvre.
London now, &c.

Lawk ! who is that, with monstrous hat,
• Iler parasol who handles ?
'Tis Mrs. Flame, the Borough dame,.
Who deals in'tallow
Nay, Goody, pray, don't turn away,
These Mounseers do not trust 'em ;
Whene'er we meet in Tooley-street, .
I promise you my custom.
Loudon now, &c:

rrndence chides,, Folly guides,
know which to mind most ; •
And fairly bid, as 13oncy
The devil take th,. hindmost!
Thus.We (lance Out; giddy France,
And when we flint the fun done,
The piperpay, :Ld march away
With empty purse to London.
London now, &c.

SNOW, PLOW.-

The following is a description of an improved
Snow Plow, the use of which the Postmasters-
General, with their wonted attention to every
thing whicn can, hi:their department, contribute'
to the public convenience and dispatch of .blisi-
ness, have been employing all the means in
,their
power to introduce throughout the country. The
Plow is 'worked by two horses attached to whip-
ping or sp:inter-bar, and clears the snow to. tkc
width of seven feet, thus rendering the most dif-
ficult roads immediately passable for carriages,
and convenient for every description of travelling.
We understand that it is heady similar to those
of the North of Europe, and have little doubt but
on its simplicity and great ntility being made
known, it will be biought into activity- in every
parish in Great 13rtain.

" The pole to he made of tough ash, and to be,
15 feet long, exclusive of 1 foot, which must go
into the futchels and fasten by an iron pin. At
the other end, to be fined to' two ribs or joists,
which cross the hose of the 'plough ;.4 feet from
the ground, one at-2 feet from the nose, and the
other at 4 feet, according to the dotted lines. The
nose to be shod with an iron clip ; the boards on
each side to be 1-inch plank 6 feet long and
_4
feet broad) and withatft a bottom. The phyliOt
which follows the Irorses to be 3 feet wide in front,
G feet long, 4 feeChigh, and 7 feet wide behind.
The splinter bar to be 4L' feet long. A- chair for
a driver may
be fixed on the top, which may be
be covered with plank,
.on which, if needful, add
weights., This- Plough' also need not have a bot-
tom. If. the nose sholihi run into the ground,' a
man may walk between the-sides to raise it ocea-•
siunully."

THE THEATRE.—After The Lord of the Manor,
. the new Pantomime of flarlequik ,Whittington,
Lord Mayor of London, was lepreeenteditgain at
Covent-Garden_Thentre last night, and was well
received by the holiday folks, who, however,
were so very turbulent during the Play, that
,it
was hardly possible for the andience in tile lower
circles to hear much of the dialogue, .or fain any
conception of the plot.. Tile Pantomime went
off very well, and at the close of the fire-winks
an illuminated
.pedestal appeared, on which was
seen, in conspicuous chanicters, " -Peace. with
America." This temporary allusion was much ap-
plauded, brit whether for itself, or the event
which it recorded, we leave politicians to decide.
CORN EXCHANGE, Drc. 28.—We had but few
arrivals,- except with Foreign Wheat, and scarcely
any thing doing ; indeed the sales were so few
the prices must be noted nominally the same as
'onAlonday. _

It is said that twenty new regiments of foot are
to be formed of returned French prisoners. There
is no talk of increasing the cavalry, but the regi-
ments of cavalry are, however, completed.
The French character is,
,in the opinion of
BtyoNAPARTE, very fickle. Somebody told him
his statue was taken down from the grand pillar—
" Well," said he, " and what have they put up
in its stead ?" The person to whom he spoke an,
,wered, "'the Bourbon flag.", " They (night,"
,said he, " to hare put up a weathercock."
We are requested to state that Policies of the
Eagle Insurance Company, expiring at Christmas,
may he renewed within fifteen days from that pe-
riod, at either of their Offices in Cornhill.or the
Haymarket, where Annuities are granted, and •
purchase and every description of Life and Fire
Insurance effected on the most equitable turns.

SEVERE ‘l';:kk T lILR.

WHIT2HAV EN, DE6. gentleman at Bowl-
by alum works, ne.tr Whitby, having auga'gad a
chaise. which can before he was rea,':- for it,
ordered the driver"to take ont tit hot-Ls. Tail
had_searcely been done, wh,.ta a tretnendo..;
caught the chaise, and threw it over a steep.h:ll ;
it was dashed into R thousand The night
of Thursday. last was vL.ry teaTestuous. Num-
bers of eiliumies.in thisto;vn were blown down;
tss (rouseshe sertari‘eveets•e ipena-
sufrcred gre.ctly in their roofs, and
rticularly on the side pave:ueurs,
presented at ,evely step he7:ps of rubbish., from
broken bricks, slates,
devastation as froin, our shehered situation is
very rarely seen.. About 11 o'clock a sloop called
the Nelly and Betty, (whin had sailed from tire`
Isle of Man, about 2 o'clock the same morning),
in attempting to get into the harbour,- was, by
the violence of the wind andth,, sea (which was
at that, time raging istonishingiy) driven behind
the North Wall. The crew en,!ca-voured to keep
the vessel under the shelter of that pier ; but all
their effOrt§ proved, 'ineffectual ; the surf carried
her towards Itedtivss POint, • a distance of about
half a mile from the mouth of the harbour, where
she struck, and inevitable destruction seemed to
await her and all on board ; amongst whom was a
female passenger. Nuwbers k.f people flocked to
the beach, many of ‘dtoin followed the tessel till
she struck, when with the bravery and generosiiy of
British seamen, a. sufficient niicirber immediately,
formed a connected line, by joining hands, and
stood' in .the water until they nearly reached the
lee side of the vessel ; and by a rope thrown on
shore, and taking advantage of the reeeditig wave,.
the crew were, one after another, enabled to quit
the vessel and by assistance
,;:coin the shore, were
brought into.safety.- But when the crew had been
rescued, the female passenger remained Oil board
alone. Unequal to the dangerous attempt-of leap-.
ing•overboard, her situation appeared hopeless.
At that instant, Alexander Carr, a young 'man ',
(a mariner belonging to this port), watching the
.‘receding element,. Sprung towards the vessel,
arid, reaching the.chains, raised him Self up to
.the deck, and immediately fastened the rope round
the. por woman's waist (then almost dead with
terror), and holding her over the side until a
favourable opportunity offered to lower as far as
he. could; ;hen dropped hi; charge, which was
immediately drawn to the shore by the volunteers
employed in that humane ser.%Tiee. The yoang
wan having thus saved the life of a fellow,erea
tnre, at the great peril and risk of his own, leap-
ed down front the sloop, again committing him-
self to the mercy of. the waves, and was assisted
in getting on shore amidst the acclamations of the
multitude: At tittles the u'hole of both har4Ours
resembled one sheet'of-turuttlent water ; beyond
which, from the extreme haze of the atmosphere,
it was impossible to see a quarter of a wile. Pro--
videntiallv -no lives Were lost.'
At Sheffield, many chiainies and roofs of houses
were damaged. . •
Youx.—During the tremendous gale on Friday,
part of the engine-chimney adjoining the factory
Nf •Whitehead and Pearson; on Bradford-moor,
Yorkshire, was thrown down, and falling throttgh
the roof, did priach vlamage to a new building ad-
joining the Bank, iu Low Ousegate ; and the fail-
ing of bricks and tiles rendered the passing along
the streets extremely unsafe. About a dozen .nei
trees upon-the walk were torn up, and in conse-
quence of being flooded at the time, the roofs of
a great many more ma: loosened.

At Lancaster the tide began to flow about two
hours earlier than set "down in the tide-table;
the coach from Ulverston, crossing the Lancdster
Sands, was obliged to make for the shore abitve
Silverdale. The'tide continued to flow about halt
an hour later, and was>bettveen six and seVen feet
higher than mentioned in the table. It-inundat-
ed St. f4corge's Quay, Lancaster.
• During the heavy gales on Friday last many
persons were hurt by the falling of bricks and
slates front the houses in this town, but we haVe
heard of only two serious injuries being"austain-
ed, vii. an elderly woman had her head severely.
cut by a brick in Old Hall-street, and a man bait
his arm broke in Liver-street, by a slate; but we
understand they are both doing well. Numerous
were the narrow es,apes, particularly in the in-
stance of. a' family in the park, ‘vho fortunately
happened to leave their house in time to escape
complete destruction, which in all probability,
would otherwise have ensued, as it was blown
down, and became in an instant one heap of rub-
bish. The rummer of cbiinnies desttoyed exceeds
any thing ever remembered..

EPISCOPAL ANECDOTE.—'T'HOMAS RAM, Bishop
of Ferns, in Irelan,J, rebuilt the Palace of that
place, and finding, ere it was finished, that he,
shon-id not long enjoy it, had plaCed Over the en-
trance door as follows

This house Am built for his succeeding brothers,

Tile following judicious note from the Lord
President of the Court of Scssiod, is said to be a
copy of his answer t i a letter from Mr. JAMESON,
transmitting to. him a 'pamphlet in recommenda-
tion of the Trial by Jury in that part of he United
Kingdom. it would be ;yell. if all Pseudo Legis-
lators were so answered:—

" Granton, 24th ,August, 1814-
On the Lord President's returi from a tour in the High-
lands, this (lay, he found Mr. Jameson's packet-with his truer
of the sth of August: His Lordship returns Mr..l.'s publi-
catiou, which he has neither time nor inclination to read, ►iut
being reduced to the necessity, as Sir:John Newport seems to
-be, of deriving inforniation• on the, al airs of the Court of
Session from l‘lr.d. •

" Neither does his Lordship think it at all incumbent on
him to take the trouble of circulating among the otherJialges,
either Mr. J..s publication, or the othCr o macrons and foolish
things of the same kind, with which he is often troubled by
individuals, wiw, like Mi. 3., think themselves qualified to
reform supposed abases in the adininistration of justice."
