THE LATE STORM.

CAMBRIDGE OBSERVATORT.--StOTME at this imago:, are
so r.re :ind unaccountable, that we cannot assign any do'
finiti power or effect it may have on our atmosphere. 00
the night of Saturday, Jan. 2, the clouds were muck
curled, betokening storm ; during the night there was e
gale of wind, in gusts, from N. N. W., with a rapidly-falling
barometer; from a few minutes before seven o'clock until e
quarter after, the thunder and lightning raged with extreme
violence, accompanied by a heavy shower of hail, which
seems to have accompanied it in every place ; at one lisle
the thunder-clap was beard simultaneously, with the violet'
coloured lightning being seen. It has been traced by the
several times from the north of Yorkshire, to Nottinglisler
Wolverhampton, Northampton, Cambridge, London, ge:
sex, and Kent, in succession, and its speed of transit
to have been more than 60 miles per hour ; it must have isse"'
a hundred miles in width, and equally violent at every issr4►
or have traversed the country In a succession of curve!'
Immediately after the storm had passed over Greenwise,
~
the wind changed to W. by S., and the barometer
was at 29in. 2, having fallen a tenth of an inch each hoe_
since eleven o'clock the preceding evening; it has been
succeeded by frequent showers of snow and a very &a
frost : unfortunately. my register thermometers were c_ls
bedded in snow until this (Fridey)morning ; when e1e147
they were at 13 degree-, which was the lowest their' nt
been; it was, however, the temperature of the snow, tiw
the air, which we may safely allow was five degreL
lower during the night. This night will probably 'I
colder than either last night or the one before, as at
o'clock, p.m., the temperature was 19 degrees below frees
ing point. J. GLAISHER.

CHRISTENING OF THE PRINCESS ROYAL."'
It is reported that, in order to give all possible splendour
to the coming ceremony of the Royal christening, tii(3
Princess Royal will be baptised in the Chapel Roy',,"
Whitehall, in consequence of the great inconvenience el'
perienced in the very small Chapel Royal at St. Jamell'
at the marriage ceremony of her Majesty in February 10:5
The Chapel Royal, at Whitehall, is admirably calculat
for any grand state ceremonial, both from its ample spac°
and costly decorations, having been built expressly for di,
banquetting hall ; and its beautiful ceiling, painted 137
Rubens, at the command of his Majesty King James, abol
two centuries ago, is in a perfect state of preservation, 0
adorned with elaborate carving arid gilding, and is li1T:
gether one of the most beautiful ceilings in Europe.
ceremony is expected to take place in about a month'
which will give time for the necessary preparations. T 1
grand banquetting hall was the scene of many pagear t 1 a
festivals in former times; an.ong,st others, the marriage
the Princess Elizabeth, in 1613.
