[DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS.]
[Morning. Post.] •
There is hardly a politicarevil.that has not its antidOte, and
the wicked.att erupts that are now making to corrupt the pub-
lic mind, bare already had the effect of rousing t he good sense
and the loyalty of the country. The. well-dispostd , are in
gen,eral men of retired and peaceable habits,-who think that,
in ordinary timts, they may safely anti honestly cUntitig the

objects in the cottutiy. Less violence on the part of the ilii.-
akien would answer their riefarious• purpeses bow., -But

Pens, they consider it as an infallible sign that the Over-
throw of the present Government and Constituti,n is near at
band. On those orc,,sion, they are linable to set any hounds
to theitloy, or to qualify their vtotenee by the slightest ap•
pearatice of prudence. Their clubs and halls resound will)
bacchanalian shouts of tiiiimpli; and the, geatid c,mstunont-

turbers of the public peace add hypocrisy to their tither ricks,
when they affect to lament the pi esein condition of the la-

they world assist and not discourage rational inquiries ore the
subject in Parliament. Many topics of the gravest interest, its
connected with Trade, Commeree, employment of the Poot,
with Colonization, and with the Retorm of the Poor-laws, de•
mond the earnest consideration of Parliament. These have been
hitherto slighted at the call of faction: and people dO no,
think of improvinig their hoifses, when they know that villain,
are lying in wait to destroy them. They first provide against
the danger, anti, haring succeeded in this, they next undertake
the improvement.

Outrage seems tube. the order of the day, with the exclu-
sively Loyal men, who would seem to think; like certain fa-
natics of a /Mauer age, chat every thing is lawful tot:se Saints.
"By Loyalty," says a Minitterial Morning Paper of yester-
d :y. '' we mean what the word Si rictly implies, and what our
foiefatiless always understood hy it. Our word loyal and the
Scottish teal., are.of the same origin as legal." If loyal was
legal, and legal, leas 1,,yal fornie'rlv, soine odd metamorphosis
sstems to have takes, place, for 'the loyal men are now only
known by their illegal acts. ' Every day, to be sure, does nut
exhibit a spectacle 'die that of Kaman)ham, where the Free-
holders of the Comity of Dublin were, in the' expressive last-
gnage of a Reverend I)iviite, tumbled by a party of soldiers

Avosc of the Meeting, and the passing an Address
contrary to the sense of a Meeting, is so striliiitg, as to
give the defeated- rioters of. Camberive:l an equally strung
claim to the good services of the Treasury writers, with the

We noticed on Friday a. silly paragraph in. an ,Evening
Treasury Jourhal of the preceding•day, stating,- that specu-
lation was busy'in the City respecting t he ministerial changes
that would take place-,on the 7 rumour of the death of the
Marquis of Londonderry proving, correct. We then stat-
ed that the Marquis, -rut. enjoying an English .title, and
havine•a -'seat in the- House nt, Lords merely as a 'Repre-
senrative Perir of Ireland, Lord Castlereagh, as his eldest
sot, in succeeding.- to his. titles, would not succeed to
his seat in the Peers, but would remain eligible to a
seat- in the House of Connunns, like any other Irish
Peer, under the conditions prescribed by the Act, of Union
with Ireland, and, consequently, that the death of the Mar-
queSs Of Londonderry 'would not necessarily induce ;in). Mini-

nosy be proper to-.contradict a rep, rt still confidently circul

no report of any :Ministerial changes circulated in the Cif} in
c•orsegltence of the: rumoured death of the Mat qriess.of Lon-
donderry, The report was.entirely of its •own creating, nd.
orientated in its own ign.orance of the precise situation of the;

The o rather of this month was generally cloudy and wet,
with a high temperature for the season, till. the sun had en-
tered the -sign Uapricornus its the evening of the 21st, the
average of the days anti nights, till then being 4(1.33 deg.;
the approach of the winter quarter, eren in kleeember, i4te,
Was not so mild by several degrees. This high average arises
Irom the Uniform temperature of the days and nights, in a
secondary point of view, as throughout four, nights it was not
tuorellmn 3 deg. lower, than in the days preceding, One night
only 3 deg. lower ; and in the night of the 15th it was 3 deg.
higher than in the da) preceding to that night there was a
ii eaetill storm on.tbe coast Of Ireland. The maximum for
the month is 53 deg. and the mitsimum.23 deg..
The mean temperature is nearly 4 deg. higher than in
,Dec."
1819, antl.3-4ths-of a degree higher -than in Dec., 1818.
The last ten days, however, set in unexpectedly severe, the
mean temperature this period being 32 deg., or at the freez-
ing point of Fahrenheit's scale. At. 8, a. in of the 19th the
tlo•tmnmeter stood at 48, dig., and at the same hour in the
morning of the sotlt, it ,stood .at 2a deg. The effects of so
sudden a change on the human constitution, as well as on
the animal- and vegetable tribes, will be much felt without due
p 1 ecaution. The UMW temperature of spring water,ac take',
six times • during the month at 8,, a. m. is 47 deg.; but the
wean temperature of the atmosphere near the ground, -at
these times, is only 39 deg. .. The- barometer upon the whole
has been tolerably .steady., and .the,ntean pressure is neatly
2-10tha of an inch higber than in December,. 1819, as 11111d1
rain -and snow fell in that mon? h ;a.ud although the loWer
eutrents.of sir were drier this month, yet the evaporutiop is
less by 2-10ths.of an inch than io shot period,
The-atmospherie and meteoric phelsomenat that have come
within our observation this month, are 1 antbrlion,in

roltrr bow in the fog in the morning of the 21d, also 7 strung
gales of wind, or days r>tt which they prevailed, namely 4

The claudr weather i;rs:Vented our taking farther dis
tances of the planet Venus front the sun- : and she is now a 4
sauced too far'in the solar rays for that purpose, till she ar-
rives about 40 dtg. beyond her stipeti o- conjuncture and to
the east 'of•the sun, when she will be visible to the naked eye
again in Lite tarn day.
