The unsteadiness of the Englids climate Imi been 4!
dons snore strikingly exhibited than during the Sprit".
and Winter ',natters of this sear. Prom the middle of
January she weather continued several weeks nnstsualll
mild; in the beginning of February the mercury in the
thermometer rose to 49 degrees at S o'clock in the morn-
hug ; and the spring flowers began to appear. Sour
after that, as the year- advanced, the season appeared 53
retrograde, vegetation was checked, and the open win-
ter was succeeded by a backward spring. For mine
weeks previous to the present, we hail to notice the conti-
nuance of boisterous, harsh, and variable weather ; and
so lately as last week we bail occasion to quote th •
thermometer so low as 39 at h 4 o'clock in the morning-.
In the beginning of this week, however, an unhooked for
change took place, and the temperature rose with a re •
vidity, and to a height bat rarely experienrad even in or r
sum user months. It appeared as if we had Leen sn.l.-
denly transported from England into Italy, or to have
passed immediately from the month of Apra to the med-
dle of July. This surprising change has been accom-
panied with a few thunder storms and showers, but not
to such an extent as much to diminish the beat. Thr
heaviest storm over the metropolis was early vesterday
morning. The lightning bad been very vii id the pre-
ceding night, and peals of thunder followed accom-
' panted with rain, which was very heavy in the eastern
part of the metropolis,
