THE STORMY WEATHER.
(LATEST ACCOUNTS.)
The mountains have again assumed their snowy
mantles, and everything promises that we shall have a
long and rigorous winter. The various wild fowl, whose
early appearance generally denotes a severe season,
have, it is said, already appeared in great numbers on
the various coasts of the kingdom.—Carnarvon Herald.
KENDAL, TIIURSDAY.—With the exception of two
days, the weather, since our last, has been unfavourable
for farm work. Yesterday was very stormy, accom-
panied with thunder and lightning. The hills in this
neighbourhood were capped with snow this morning.—
Lancaster Guardian. _ _ _

This neighbourhood was visited on Sunday by a most
violent storm of wind and rain, which raged for many
hours. The whole of Sunday and Saturday night had
been very boisterous, the frequent gusts of wind being
mixed with heavy showers of rain ; but it was not until
the evening of Sunday that the storm reached its
height. The wind was then terrible, and it continued
to blow without intermission during the whole night.
On Thursday morning, about daylight, there was a
♦iolent thunder storm, accompanied by a heavy fall of
hail, which remained on the ground for several hours,
the thermometer being down to freezing point, and thus
gave the first serious indication of an early and severe
winter. The month, owing to the heavy and continued
rains, has been most unfavourable for the operations of
the husbandman, and it is now all but certain that a
deficient and unsound harvest will be followed by one
of the worst seeding times ever known.—Liverpool
Journal.

SIGNS OP WINTER.—On Tuesday morning last
Pendia Hill, and the hills in the neighbourhood of
Haslingden, were covered with snow. On Thursday
morning, we believe, there was a very heavy fall of
snow in Derbyshire, the hills on this side of Buxton
being capped with white. There was also a fall of
sleet and snow in this town and immediate neighbour-
hood, ar an early hour on Thursday morning ; and we
perceive that similar wintery showers were experienced
at Shrewsbury, the hills in the neighbourhood of that
town being covered by it. Yesterday the weather COM.
tinned cold, but fair, with a decided appearance of im-
provement.—Manchester Guardian.
The latter past of the last, and the beginning of
this week, was exceedingly tempestuous, and on the
arrival of the Lady de Saumarez on Monday morning,
considerable alarm was occasioned by her bringing the
intelligence that the Calpe, which had left Southampton
for Guernsey and Jersey on Thursday evening, with a
large number of passengers, had not arrived at Guern-
sey on Sunday morning. The next arrival from the
islands was looked for with great anxiety by those who
had friends on board the Calpe, and happily, on Wed-
nesday, a vessel came up from Jersey and reported that
the Calpe hal arrived on Sunday, all safe, after a most
perilous and prolonged passage of three nights and
three days.—Hainpshire Paper.
With the exception of yesterday and to-day, which
have been fine and seasonable, we have had for many
weeks a continuance of storm, floods of rain, and gales
of wind. Now a change we hope has set in : the tem-
perature is cool, with a smell of frost in it, especially
towards sunset, but the air is dry and bright, and a few
days of it would bring the ground into trim for the
seed, and enable the potato crop to be gathered. Yes-
' terday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, a smart
shower of snow fell at Great Malvern, being the first
decided symptom of the approaching winter which has
been noticed in this neighbourhood.-- Worcester Herald.
On Thursday morning, the 21st, the mountains and
hills upon Stainmore, Winter Fell, Wild-boar Fell,
and the surrounding bills of Kirkby Stephen, were com-
pletely covered with snow, as in the depth of winter.—
Kendal Mercury.
We have had a week of most disagreeable weather.
Hail, rain, thunder, lightning, and high winds, have
been the order of the week, and most of the moun-
tains in the neighbourhood have been capped with
snow. Much of the grain on the high grounds of the
western portion of the county remains in the &ids, and
has sustained great damage from the storms.—Carlisle
Journal.
ULVERSTON.—TIie weather since our last has been
very changeable—at one time blowing the cold, bleak
winds of December, and at another the balmy breezes
of spring ; at one time the clouds threatening a coming
storm, and at another the glorious or of day breaking
forth with his cheerful rays, inviting you to a walk to
admire nature's beauties. Sunday night last, says the
driver of the Burton mail cart, was the stormiest he
ever experienced ; the wind blew a perfect hurricane,
and it was all he could do to keep his seat in the gig ;
Wednesday night there was sleet and snow in abun-
dance ; Thursday (the time when we are writing) has
the appearance of an April day, and the hills and moun-
tains in the distance are covered with a cap of snow.—
Kendal Mercury.

TESTIMONIAL TO MR. JOHN MITCHELL,
BOOKSELLER, QUEEN-STREET.—On Tuesday evening
last, Mr. Mitchell was er.tertained, by a party of his
friends, in the Bon-Accord Temperance Cot-Fee-room,
for the purpose of presenting him with a handsome and
elegantly-finished Time-piece, as a mark of esteem for
his able and consistent advocacy of the people's rights—
Mr. Mackay, printer, in the chair. The Chairman, after
expressing the high satisfaction he felt in presiding on
such an occasion, introduced Mr. 11Plienzie, who pre-
sented the testimonial in a neat and appropriate speech.
Mr. Mitchell returned thanks in his usual frank and
open manner. Mr. Ord next addressed the meeting
briefly. Mr. Strachan, after eulogising Mr. Mitchell fur
his straightforward conduct, alluded to his talented de-
fence of Lovett's Chartism, and called upon the mem-
bers of the National Association to exert themselves, as
he was sure that the principles of the " new move" re-
quired only to be known to be appreciated. Mr. Lobban
also gave au excellent speech. The meeting was enter-
tained by a number of beautiful songs and recitations,
and broke up at an early hour on Wednesday morning,
highly delighted at the way iu which they had enjoyed
themselves.—Glasgow Paper.
We hear that Sir Robert Peel is labouring hard
to procure the retirement of several public officers.- He
is anxious to substitute his friend Mr. Gregson for Mr.
Phillips, Under Secretary at the Home Department.
flints were given to Mr. Dean, Chairman of the Board
of Customs, to resign ; but Tory though he is to the
backbone,. he showed that from him there was no hope
for the hungry expeetautse—Observer. --
