In the press, and shortly will be published,
A NEW and REVISED EDITION (completed to the
present period) of
HURKE'S DICTIONARY of the PEER-
AGE and BARONETAGE of the BRITISH
EMPIRE.—The extraordinary success of this work has
imposed a duty upon the Editor, of which he trusts the
forthcoming Edition will prove that he has satisfactorily
acquitted himself. Each respective article will be found
corrected with the most minute attention, from the most
authentic communications, and where the slightest ob-
scurity appeared in the lineage of any particular house, the
whole has been re-modelled. The Editor's attention hay-
ing been directed to collaterals, he has introduced all those
who come within the most smote rentaindership of family
lrononrs : and he has used snore than ordinary care in
tracing presumptive heirs.
To render the Heraldic Department more complete, the
Armorial Bearings are described in the body of the Work,
independently of the Engravings.
To the Baronetcies of Scotland and'lreland appertaining
to more than 200 ancient families, whose lineage is given
delueively in this work, the utmost attention has been
paid, and the Editor begs to thank the heads of those
houses for the polite assistance they have afforded him.

THE WEATHER.

No season like the present, so far as gone, has
been known since that of 1775. From the time
of harvest to the conclusion of that year, the
weather was so mild and open, that the operations
of agriculture were carried on without interrup-
tion, while it was sometimes so dry that the dust
was flying about the ploughman. The same has
ri!most exactly taken place this season, since the
harvest more mild genial weather could not have
been wished for forwarding the work of hus-
bandry, which has in consequence been actively
carried on, so that many of the farmers are al-
ready as far advanced with their ploughing as
they generally are in March. During the months
which have elapsed since the ingathering of last
crop, the temperature has often been such, as to
resemble the mildness of spring, the thermometer
sometimes standing at 50°. with hardly a single
night of frost in all that extended period. We
have, indeed, had some boisterous cold weather,
which, we believe, still more strongly charac-

,erised the former season to which We. have al

luded, and we have from the violent gales which
have been experienced in the course of the last
three months, to lament many heavy losses at
sea. But as in 1775, so until the conclusion of

1828, the weather, has been so unusually mild,
that vegetation has hardly received a check ; the
fields have preserved their verdure with the fresh-
ness of autumn, the later flowers in the gardens,
and even the furze and broom, have appeared in
bloom, as well as in some instances a second
crop of apples, strawberries, and other fruits ; the
feathered songsters have frequently been heard,
while the bat, and, it is said, the swallow have
been abroad. With such flattering appearances,
it was almost believed, the annual visit of win-.
ter was no longer for a season to be expected,
but our anticipations, it now appears, have been
so far delusive, and our present prospect is some-
what that of 1776. After the promising mild
season of that period, it was on or about Jan. 6,
11776, when a fall of snow commenced, which in-

creased and continued afterwards, succeeded by

strong frost, and to use a common phrase, " the
storm lay" to a considerable depth for about three
months. With a continuance of the like open
weather as before, until Monday last, the sth
instant, we had then an unexpected and sudden
change, the frost during that night setting in
strongly, and continuing with such intenseness,
that on Wednesday we observed numerous carts
employed, in all directions about town, carrying
ice of at least I* inches thick to the several ice-
houses. In the course of that night and on
Thursday some snow fell, so as to cover the
ground, but not to any great depth, although we
are inclined to think there has been a great fall
in the interior. Yesterday the wind shifting to
S.E. we had a thaw, which carried off a great
part of the snow along the coast, and it still
blows from that quarter.—Aberdeen chronicle.
