LONDON FOGS.

• Dr. Davy, the lno€her• of Sir Humphrey Davy, was, I
believe, the first person, who broadly laid it down, that
fogs arise whenever she air becomes colder than the water.
From this principle we can draw the following conclu-

4ions
I. rugs will be most frequent in autumn, after the eat th
has been heated during the Summer, the air cooling faster
than the earth. . •

2. Fog 4 will be greatest after the hottest Summer.
3. Fogs shew that the air has become suddenly colder,
and therefore are a sign of snow.
4. Fogs will be rare in hot climates, where the. air is
usually very hot. - • •
5. Fogs will be vent frequent in the Arctic regions,
where the sudden depression of temperature is enormously
below the mean temperature.
6. Fogs will be most frequent over shallow water, which
sooner partakes of the temperature of the bottom, than the,
deep water. The end of the deep water is known near the,
Banks or Newfoundland, by the sudden commencement
the fogs. The thick fogs which appealed during Captanv
Franklin's last expedition, prove that the sea is wry
low, and the mean temperature 'mat very
low, upon that
part of the Arctic coast. -
'
7. If the London fogs have increased during late years,
it will prove either that the mean temperature has increased,
or that the variations of temperature have increaeed, or
that a disproportion of temperature between the water am;
air has increased, or that the Thames has diminiZred
depth. •
It is my belief that the last has occurred, partly from the
natural rise of all embanked River beds, and partly froth
the effect of Waterloo-bridge. This Bridge is unhappily
placed near a bend'of the River, and it is to be feared' thin:
the alignment of the arches of the other bridges, and tile
course of the current, has not been duly considered. Thee
only remedy is to narrow the channel, so as to increase its
• depth, upon some such plan as Colonel Torrens's. The
Quays of the insignificant Seine are open, the Thames
inaccessible. It is, however, very dubious-whether that
great work would pay as a commercial sptculatitm.—
