the celebrities, inve &c.: of each reign. The
metre is not always correct, and certainly the
rhyme does not display any great poetic talent ;
but the little volume will be likely to prove a
great assistance to begin oers in English history.

Our College. G. Earle, Castle-street.
This work consists of a series of sketches of Col-
lege Life and adventures, or "leaves from an under-
graduate's scribbling book," as it is also called. It
is lively and entertaining, and will afford mucl
amusement tothose desirous of forming an acquaint
with University Life. There are numerous sketches
of varying interest ; the last one, called "Going
to see an Execution," describes forcibly the vivid
effect on a nervous and excitable mind by an un-
fortunate visit to the execution of the Mannings.
There is plenty to amuse an idle hour in this un-
pretending volume.

Under the Lime Trees. By Caroline Ricketts, au

thor of " arials or a life'g lesssons." Booth.

This is a pleasant little volume of stories of a
domestic nature. There are five tales of varying
interest, some mournful, some ending happily, but
mostly of a mixed nature, showing the chequered
path that most heroines of real life are called upon
to tread. The authoress writes with ease and ele-
gance, and those who wish for an agreeable volume
of romance, of a simple and natural character will
afford her the encouragement she merits.

MR. G. T. F. SMITH'S WEATHER PREDIa
TIONS FOR JULY.

_---~--

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR" —I have forwarded a statement of the wea-
ther for July. The intense heat from the 22d to the
28th of June cannot be accounted for by any of
the testimonies known to influence the weather,
which rather induces belief in the probable return
of the comet. Having given the testimony of at-
mospheric changes considerable attention, I con-
fess myself puzzled to reconcile the heat from the
known causes operating in that interim.
Yours, respectfully,
G. T. F. SMITH.
6, Sandford-street, July Ist.

The temperature from the Ist to 9th will be cool,
and showery to the 10th or 11th; from the 11th to
the 15th high temperature or hot weather, elec-
tricity prevalent ; from the 14th to the 20th the
sun's rays are refulgent. Electric showers near
the 23d, with thunder storms near the 25th, 27th,
and 29th ; the month declining with high tem-
perature. _ _

June gave the humidity and fine weather as
predicted, but errors in the temperature, from the
19th to the 281 h, varying from the effect of our
ugyal phenomena. Alreeably to traditionary ob-
servations, comets on their approaching our system
invariably cause hot weather ; therefore, should the
expected comet be approximating its return this
year, all other testimony would become subordinate
to it.
