THE LATE Mft:-ACETCA7NDER RACKET,

This Gentleman, before his name goes down
the oblivious stream of time, meths particular notice—not on
account of any superior accomplishments of mind or person,
but for the singular, and, in his opinion, proud and enviable
distinction, that he was perhaps the last of the pure divine-right
Scottish Jacobites. Born in a part of Scotland where the ad-
herents of the exiled house of Stuart prevailed almost univer-
sally, he drew in with his earliest breath those principles of un..
bounded attachment to that illustrious but fallen dynasty, which
linimated Ida whole life, and were 'deemed by him of equal, if
not superior, importance to the moral virtue& he rapid march
•of time, of opinion, and of those mighty revolutions which
lately shook the fabric of social order to its foundation,
passed by him unheeded, or were viewed with sovereign
contempt, when compared with the master passion of his soul;
and the year 1112.4 found this singular being, at a very ad.
vanced age, exactly the same in manners, principles, and in
dress, as were the Most enthusiastic contemporary adherents of
the Chevalier St. Oeorge or Charles Edward Stuart. Thu
wealth of Britain would have been offered in vain as the price
of his allegiance, even to our present gracious Sovereign. As
no earthly consideration could shake the steady purpose of his
soul, so he viewed with inexpressible indignation the upostacy
of others, anti deemed them alike unworthy of his own forgive-
ness and that of !leaven. The finely-drawn character of the
(Intuit.; and chivalrous Redgauntlet is now no fiction of a poetic
imagination. Although no warrior, indeed, our friend pos-
sessed a loyalty at; devoted, as disinterreated, and certainly us
persevering as that of the lofty-minded Lord of the Solway.—
We have said that Mr. Placket persevered in his principles of
Jacobitisin to a patriarchal age—and how could it be other-
wise ? Seated in hit arm-chair, in his snug, well-arranged
parlour, wherever he turned his eye the countenance Of a royal
Stuart beamed full upon him,' and with benignant looks
seemed to encourage his perseverance in the best of causes,
anti to beckon hint to realms of eternal day, where no rebel
.dare show his Satanic visage.. Mr. !Jacket was a man .of the
strictest integrity and sobriety, and most punctual in the per-
formance of every religious duty. Like every son of Adam,
indeed, hit virtues were mixed with some failings ; but
" No farther seek his merits to disclose.
Nor draw his frailties front their dread abode,
(There they alike in trembling hope repose),
The bosom of his Father and his God."
* Mr. Hacket's small parlour was hung round with portraits,
as large as life, of the latter Princes of the house of Stuart, with
one exception. A roguish picture dealer had .induced him to
purchase a Queen Elizabeth in place of a Queen Mary. When
Mr. 11, discovered this cheat (for he was no great connoisseur
in pictures), ho endeavoured to exchange the hated daughter of
Tudor for the lovely Queen of Scots. Baffled in this attempt,
and unwilling to permit so large a blank in his parlour, he
placed Queen Elizabeth in a situation where he might daily
have the pleasure of turning his back upon her.

Extract from a METEOIIOI.OGICAL JOURNAL for
OCTOBER, 1824, kept at the Observatory of the Aca-
demy (Dr. BURNEY'S), (import, Bents
"'Fire weather this month has been windy and wet, It hav-
ing rained, more or less, on twenty-four days; and the tern.
perature of the air was very variable at intervals. In the
early part of the month many parts of the country were
visited with heavy equinoctial gales and inundations; and
the Hoods on the low lands were generally injurious to
cattle, &c. The shipping along the coast also sustained
material injury and loss from the same cause. On the 7th
instant the external thermometer rose to 68 degrees, and
on the 14th it sank to 32 degrees—a difference of thirty.
six degrees in eight days. Even at the same hour in the
mornings a difference of 27 degrees was observed here in the
course of nine days, which required some additional clothing to
evade its offbets upon the human constitution. Early in the
morning of the 16th, ice, nearly a quarter of inch thick,4wit.s,
seen hero ; and .in Scotland on the 17th, it was stated that
there were keen .frosts, and snow several inches
.deep, which
latter was considered to be tinusally early. This great change
in the temperature of the air was preceded by heavy falls of
rain through the country, in the second week of this period.
After the 16th, the temperature again increased, with a humid
air, and occasional sunshine. Tire mean temperature of
the external air this month is very nearly two degrees higher
than that of October, 1823, And one degree and one-tenth
higher than the mean of that month for many years past.
The temperature of spring water arrived at its maximum
height for the year on or about the lth Instant, when the
temperature of the ground from the -surface of the wells
upwards, may also be considered to have been at its maximum
height. By the close of the month..the temperature of spring.'
water was lesseneediree quarters of a degree. During the
last.eight or nine days the leaves of the fruit trees have under-
gone
.considerable oxydation, and, with the strength of the;l
gales, they fell in great quantitiec this we may -term. sud-
den, but not an early fan. In the evening of the 2d, a faintly-.
coloured, lunar Iris appeared in a passing Nimbus towards
the North ; and:in the evening of the .I.otha lunar halo and
two naraselente appeared at nine P. 314 the one on the wind-
ward side of di? moan was 94..39. distant from her centre,
tile other 23. 613., and both of them were *lightly tinged with
red. •
