The quantity of rain fallen fince our laft report is too trifling to. be noticed. Our journal 
records but one day in which there has been any, but on five or fix there has been fnow, and 
in many places it fell in confiderable quantities: near the metropolis it has not at any period 
Biden fumicient to incommode the inhabitants 5 nor during the whole winter has the cold been 
fofficient to render the fparrows and other {mall birds, in the villages round London, (the 
only game of spate big fufficiently keen to fall a prey to the for wling-piece. 
The average height of the thermometer for the whole month is 44°73, which is higher 
than it has-been for feveral years for the fame period of time. Such of our readers as will 
take the trouble of turning back to the feveral volumes of the Monthly Magazine, ee 
find thatthe average temperature for March, laft year, was 424 3 for 1805, it was 43-3 
for 1804, it was only 39-00 ; for 1803, it wes 41:2 nearly ; Tass for 4802, it was 43. z 
nearly. Notwithftanding this increafe in the temperature, we have experienced much La 
fevere cold from the winds, which have cooled down the human body, though (as we have 
formerly obferved) they have but: little effect on the thermometer. The wind has blown 
chiefly from the eaferly and wefterly quarters, and in both inftances it has been feverely felt. 
"The average height of the barometer is 29°99. - 
To CORRESPONDENTS. 
PROSE communications, figned 4. B. Impartial, M. N. A Friend-to Truth, F. A. R. M. 
Scrutator, D. "FP. Simon Simple, Veritas, do not fuit the Monthly Magazine. 
The friends of Pro‘eflur Richardfon are referred to the Court of King’s Bench, as 2 more 
competent tribunal to correét an unfeeling and unprincipled Coxcoms than the pages of a 
Literary Journal. 
Our excellent friend Dr. Patterfon complains of being mifreprefented 1 in an anonymous 
Review! As we cannot fpare room for his able reply, we fhaH afk him, cvho, that writes a 
ook, is not mifreprejented by the carelef[nefs or malice of fome or all of the Rewiews? Dr. Pat- 
terfon, and others in hike circumftances, may derive cunfolation from the perufal of a plair 
narrative of faéts relative te the manufactory of Reviews, latcly publified under the title 
of the New Denciad, in which they will perceive how unworthy is all anonymous criticifm ) 
of their confidence or ferious attention. . - 
We muft refer the communication of Mr. Salmon to the publication to which he refers. 
We acknowledge the receipt of another letter from Dr. Grere, but we believe we fhalt 
pe confidered by our readers as having brought to its proper clofe the controverfy of that gen- 
tleman with Mr. Lainc. 
Several Queriits are informed, that we <abeeth them to mention the authorities which have 
failed them, before we can obtrude their queftiuns on the public, | fome of which may pro- 
ably be anfwered by confulting the laft new Cyclopedia, or perhaps any guod elementary _ 
rreatife. 
Tn complian i6e with the with of our correfpondent who figns Cemmon Sr NSE, we fhall be 
glad to receive information relative to the monopoly of farms, and to the defcription of 
manuiaftoriés to which he alludes in the laf paragraph of ‘his letter. 
Communications will be particularly acceptable from perfons refident on the Seat of War 
on the Continent.
