THE WEATIIER.—Since the memorable harvest of 1816, when
the earth for some mouths was drenched with rain, which at
length nearly destroyed all the crops throughout Great Britain,
we have not had a more gloomy week at this season than that
which is just passed. From Sunday until Thursday evening,
the atmosphere was almost uniformly dark and lowering, or agi-
tated by storms, to the serious loss and diappointmint of the
numerous body of men employed in the herring fishery, who
were unable to put to sea before yesterday ; although conscious
(from the partial success of a few daring adventures) that the
adjoining coasts are swarming with herring. But the fishermen
are not the only sufferers by the unfavourable state of the wea-
ther. The grain still remaining in shocks or uncut must be
greatly injured, particularly the former, some of which cannot
e fit for human food. It. is to be feared also that the quantit.c
of corn thus exposed to detriment is much larger than has been
generally supposed; and that the damage it has already sustain-
ed will prove vet), injurious to the quality and colour of the crops

It is indicated, by a fact recorded in the New York Mirror,
that a young lady has "dramatized Mrs. Butler's Journal,' "
and that the same " is in rehearsal at the Bowery Theatre."
Here then, at last, is a novelty. There is something new under
the sun; and to what an endless succession of new things does it
point! Dramatize "Ml's. Butler's Journal?" If that may be
done, why not adopt the suggestion of a weekly contemporary,
and dramatize "Johnson's Dictionary P" Why not adapt the
Municipal Bill for stage representation.? or the Almanac for
1836? or "Hervey's Merliattirrh§?" or Fishsance ? or the Lon-
