THE WEATHER.—During the week we have
experienced some heavy gales, principally from the north-
West; these, we suppose, may be considered as the equi-
"etialsr which usually prevail at this season of the year.
If strong si'"Ads and pure air are essential to the removal
of disease, we may hope that the storms which have swept
the town and its vicinity during the last few days, will
have
a salutary effect on the health of our vast population,
and aid, through the blessing of Providence, in extinguish-
ing the malignant epidemic which has for so many months
existed in the town, but which, by the recent reports, had
very much diminished, and we sincerely trust that the
Period is net far distant when we shall have the pleasure
of announcing its final disappearance. During the tre-
mendous gale of wind on Thursday night and Friday
uiorning last the vessels on the west side of the different
dot:ka were driven from their moorings. A scene of
vat confusion arose by these vessels falling foul of those to
zivee7otwoaird,.ur
. The damage done is very considerable._

RETENTION OF VITALITY IN FROZEN
FISH AND THa LEECH. •••• (White's Selborne, p. 291.)
los have the best evidence to prove that fish and some mol-
animals may be frozen, without destroying their
aviteaTiutyl. A friend of mine, at Camberwell, bad an in-
flamed eye_ during the winter of 1829, and had a leech
kept in was applied to the temple several times; it was
ept in water in a phial, and placed on the carpet near the
:re-place of the parlour. The cold at that time was very
severe, and every night the leech was frozen, and thawed
the following day. Mr. KNIGHT was there at the time,
_Witnessed the fact, and expressed, I am told, no small in-
;rest at this curious incident. It was observed by Capt.
It4Ntarie, during the severe winter they experienced
near the Coppermine River, that the fish froze as they were
taken out of the nets ; in a short time they became a solid
41555 of ice, and by a blow or two of a hatchet were
easily split open ; if in the completely frozen state they
Were thawed before the fire, they recovered their anima-
tion. This is a very remarkable instance how completely
animation can be suspended in cold-blooded animals.-

DREADFUL ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.—Yes:

SUICIDE or AN ACTRESS.—Yesterday an
inquest was held at the Queen's Head Lambeth, on
ed
able fam the
body of JANE B. N ,
lUN ROE. The deceased, who possessed
able attractions, and belonged to a highly respect-
s, was the wife of Mr. MlrtltoE, au actor at the
Bath, Cheltenham, and Edinburgh theatres. The deceased
performed in several places very successfully, especially at
Edinburgh, where she played Columbine. She had been
separated from her husband for some ears, and, until the
last twelve months, had lived undery the protection of a
=Major in the army, but since that she had led a very dis-
reputable life. In May last she and her sister each became
Possessed of 4001. by the death of their mother. In a
month the sister died, and by that time she had expended
all her money. The deceased spent 501. in buryinr, her,
and afterwards lived more expensively than before, driving
Shout in a hired carriage, and drinking the first wines.
When her money was gone she became reduced to great
Poverty, and she lived chiefly on ardent spirits. She was
and drowned on Tuesday, opposite Lambeth. Verdict,

To MAKE BEER STRONGER.—lntroduce
through the bung-hole of the barrel two pounds of coarse
sugar dissolved in a bottle of eau de vie, and one of beer,
the whole well beaten together with yeast. Stir the con-
tents of the barrel, and let it ferment at the ordinary beat
in summer, or in a warm place in winter ; at the end of
some days the beer commences being agitated, casts out at
the bung-hole a quantity of troth, and speedily clears.
The bung i. left out during this process, and as soon as it
completed, put the liquor into bottles. This must be
done carefully, as the bottles are liable to burst.—French
kientific Journal.
