factured goods. ‘It might at firft view be 
amagined, that the fale of the manufaiured 
soods fhoul ld be almoft adequate to the fup- 
/port of the eftablifhment ; but this is by 
no means the café, nor an it be wondered 
at by thofe who recollect that the inftitu- 
tion propofes not to be a manufaGiory, but 
“a fchool, fo that-as foon as a pupil is able 
to procure alivelihood, the primary object 
of the charity 1s .accomplifhed. He is 
then gladly difmiffled by the committee, 
and every aid is given him, 1n order that 
he may be enabled to procure a livelihood 
for himfelf in the bofom of his family or 
native Connexions. 
In the prefent ftate of the inftitution, it 
would be almeft impoffible to form an 
average of the different heads of income and 
expenditure ; fince the erection of the new 
building,the number of pupils has beencon- 
fiderably increafed,and a varietyof circum- 
fiances have occurred, which will materially 
augment the expences of the laft year. 
The quantity of manufactured articles fold 
during the laft twelve months has amount- 
ed to the fum of 620]. and there is reafon 
to think that this fam will be increafed 
during the prefent year, as out of 68 pu- 
pils, who are now in the houfe, 29 have 
been admitted fince the opening of the new 
building in March laft, and paveghen a 
Have Hitherta earned little or nothing for 
the benefit of the charity. 
Wemuf not omit to mention, that.an 
arrangement is made, by means of which 
the pupils receive, at ftated. periods, moral 
and religious inftruction; and the vifitors 
regard it as an effential part of their of- 
fice, to keep a ftriét watch over the moral 
conduc: of the pupils committed to their 
dire@tion. / 
I have thus endeavoured to give your 
readers a general idea of. an inftitution, 
which will bea laf fting honour to the town 
where it was planned and executed. Few 
perfons have for the firit time been-eye- 
witneffes of the fcene which it prefents, 
without fhedding tears of fympatiy and 
delicht. Nor has their intereft in the efta- 
blifhment been diminifhed by a more inti- 
mate acquaintance with it. Tc behold a 
number of our fellow creatures, whofe 
previcus fituation was fo truly deplorable, 
become at the fame time happy and ufeful, 
produces a fen{ation of heart-felt fatistac- 
tion, which words are inaglequate to ex- 
prefs. Iam, Sir, your’s, &c.

To the Editor of the Monthly Magazine. 
SIR, 
AVING feen in a late Number of 
your valuable Mifcellany, a Meteo-. 
rological Report made in the neighbour- 
hood of London, I have tranfmiited you a 
fimilar one made at Carlifle, including the 
fame {pace of time, which perhaps may. 
not be unacceptable to fome of your 
readers. 
Meteorological cbfervations made at 
Carlifle from the 24th of February, to the 
24th of March inclufive. 
Barometer. —Higheft 30,33 March 4th, 
at 10 o’clock in the evening, wind N. W.., 
brifk.—-Loweft 22,66. March a1ft, at 8 
o’clock in the evening, wind W.. hurricane. 
—Greateft variation in 24. hours, 88 of an 
inch. From ro o’clock in the evening of 
the 19th of March, to the fame hour on - 
the zoth, the mercury fell from 29,70 to 
2%,32, during which time the wind blew 
very ftrong.  .. 
Thermometer. —Highelt 56° March.2d. 
wind S, W.—Loweft 28° March 15th, at. 
10 o’clock in the evening, wind W. 
The greateft variation of temperature, 
in 24. hours was between the evenings of — 
the sth and 6th of March, the mercury in 
the thermometer fell. 12°; on the former 
ev Pn it ftood at 45%, and on the latter 
at 33°. On the 14th of the fame month, 
in the evening, the thermometer here ftood 
at 35°; and. on the fame evening, in. the 
neighbourhood of London, it appears to 
have been at 51%, which makes the alto- 
nifhing difference of 189 of temperature 
between the two places. 
The weather here in the latter end of 
February was particularly wet and gloomy. 
In the month of March, we experienced 
very citangeable weather: we frequently 
had el fnow, hajl, and rain, in the 
courfe of 24 hours; the furrounding 
mountains were generally covered with 
fnow, which made the air extremely cold : 
the bale ath, 30th, and 31 were the only 
pleafant days we had, and during the whole 
month. there were onily five fair days, and 
one of clear funfhine. 
I have determined the latitude of Care 
lifle to be 54° 53/33’ N. and longitude 
2° 57’ 30" weft of Greenwich :—it is fup- 
poled to be about 15 yards above the level 
of the fea.
