HAYTER, whose interesting researches at Herculaneum, under the patronage of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, have excited the liveliest attention of the literary world, is about to publish a Letter to His Royal Highness, containing a Narrative of all that passed on this subject from his leaving England till his return. It will be illustrated with engravings; and in every sense it cannot fail to gratify and interest the public. The Pantheon has been very judiciously converted into a national institution for exhibiting the improvements in the manufactures of the United Kingdom, and in the arts connected therewith; for promoting the general interests of commerce, both foreign and domestic; and for aiding the pros perity of every class of manufacturers. It will present at once, (arranged in a regular and connected series,) all that Manchester, Birminghamn, Sheffield, Leeds, Nottingham, Coventry, Norwich, Glasgow, as well as the sister kingdom, and all other manufacturing places, supply; and will preserve a register of every manufacturer in the United Kingdom, whereby such of them as become sub. scribers to the institution, will open new means of promoting their interests in a variety of ways, and to a great extent. A spacious chamber is exclusively appropriated to the resort and accommodation of subscribers; and the daily and Country papers are to be taken in and filed for their accommodation. And for the peculiar use of patrons of the institution, a spacious chamber of association, is prepared and fitted up for their exclusive reception and resort at all times, provided with a copious supply of books of reference, an extensive assortment of publications, foreign and domestic; together with all foreign gazettes and newspapers that can be procured from every quarter of the world. The intelligent part of the metropolis, and country visitors, have long languished for such an establishment, and we cordially wish it success. Mr. BISSET, of the Museum, Birming ham, will publish early in February next, a superb medallion of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales as Regent of the luperial Kingdoms. The Rev. DAVID BLAIR, whose various school books enjoy such unrivalled celebrity, is about to publish a Universal Grammar of Arts, Sciences, and General Knowledge, which is likely to supersede all other general systems now used in our schools. Dr. DICKSON has at length achieved the grand desideratum of agricultural improvement, and finished for publication a compressed and cheap compendium of agricultural knowledge and improvement, called the Farmer's Companion. It is a suitable present from a patriotic landlord. A new edition of Martyn's Georgics is in the press. In our last Varieties it was stated, by mistake, that Mr. ROBERT BAKEWELL had discovered a new mode of analysing soils, minerals, &c. We have since seen the proposals of that gentleman, iu which he lays claim to no new discovery in the mode of analysing. It appears he is engaged in a new undertaking, to unite with, the survey of estates a Mineralogical Examination and Analysis of the Substances they contain, and to accompany the Plan with a Manuscript Description and Natural History of the Estate. A new work is preparing by Mr. PETER NICHOLSON, on the Mechanical Exercises of Carpentry, Joinery, Bricklaying, Masoury, Turnery, &c.; with plates of the various tools used in each branch of business, and other figures explanatory of the principles and practice of the several arts. This work is drawn up on the plan of the familiar but obsolete work. by Moxon, the plates are numerous, and the work will be ready for publication early this spring. An elegant work with plates in aqua-› tinta, from drawings by Mr. Lugar, architect, of plans and views of buildings executed by him in England and Scotland, several of which are in the castellated style, with accurate views of the situations, will soon be ready for publication. Lord DE DUNSTANVILLE will speedily publish from the original manuscripts in his possession, Carew's Survey of Corn. wall, with Notes, by the late Thomas Tonkin, esq. member of Parliament in the reign of Queen Anne. The Memoirs of Prince Eugene of Savoy, written by himself; translated hom from the last French edition, by Mr. MUDFORD, will appear early in February, in one volume, octavo. The Flora of the Counties of Northumberland and Durham, by Mr. WINCH, of which the Botanist's Guide through those counties may be considered as a prodromus, will shortly be put to press, and published with all convenient speed. It will comprise the generic and specific descriptions and localities of about 2000 indigenous plants; and will be embellished with coloured engravings of some of the more rare and beautiful subjects, drawn from Nature by the masterly hand of Mr. Sowerby. On the 1st of April Mr. ACKERMANN will publish the first part of an historical and descriptive work, entitled Westminster Abbey and its Monuments, which is designed to form two volumes elephant quarto, illustrated with sixtysix coloured plates, from drawings by Messrs. PUGIN, HUETT, and MACKENZIE. The letter-press will give a history of that interesting fabric, with all its accessory circumstances from the earliest notices of it to the present time. Mr. LowRY is engaged in a work entirled Select Specimens of the Ancient Architecture of Great Britain, accompanied with Historical and Descriptive Illustrations. The selection of subjects for this work will be made from the choicest architectural remains in this country, and consist of such as may be deemed best adapted to illustrate the rise, progress, and revolutions, of the various styles which distinguish its ecclesiastical and military edifices. It is proposed to give perspective views either of whole buildings or of parts, and; where farther explanation appears necessary, to add plans and elevations. The work will ap. pear in Numbers, commencing with the principal remains of Roman architecture. The historical part will be drawn up with the strictest regard to accuracy, and the descriptive will be the result of a careful and minute examination of the bjects introduced. The engravings will be executed in the best style, by Messrs. Lowry, Landseer, J. Roffe, G. Cooke, J. Le Keux, Lee, Porter, &c. after original drawings by Messrs. Nash, Turher, Valey, and other eminent artists. Illustrations of Gertrude of Wyoming, from paintings by Mr. Cook, with a portrait of the author, from a painting by LAWRENCE, are also in preparation. Thustrations of the Lady of the Lake, from paintings by Mr. Richard Cook, are now engraving by WARREN, HEATH, ARMSTRONG, and ENGLEHEART, and will be published as speedily as the requisite atten tion to their execution, which is intended to be in the first style, will admit. Mr. W. CRANE, of Edinburgh, has published Hints respecting a New Theory on the Orbits of Comets, in which he suggests the probability that they revolve about two fixed stars, placed in the two foci of their orbits. Mr. R. B. HARRADAN will in a few days publish the seventh and last Number of Cantabrigia Depicta et Descripta, being a series of thirty-four engravings of all the public buildings, colleges, churches, and remains of antiquity, in the Univer sity and town of Cambridge; with accurate historical accounts of each, from the earliest period to the present time. Mr. WRIGHT, professor aud public lecturer of the Science of Elocution, purposes early in the next month, to deliver his Spring Lectures, and to read the whole of the Church Service, at his public lecture room, Bedford-street, Covent Garden. The following subjects are proposed for the Chancellor's prizes at Oxford, for the ensuing year, viz. for Latin verses, Herculaneum;-for an English essay, Funeral and Sepulchral Honours;-for a Latin essay, De Styli Ciceroniani, in diversa materie, varietate;-and for Sie Roger Newdigate's prize for the best composition in English verse, not containing more than fifty lines, The Parthenon. A correspondent of a respectable periodical work has communicated an experiment made by him at a time when bread was very dear, with a view to find some cheaper substitute for wheat flour. He directed several turnips to be washed, pared, and boiled; when soft enough to be mashed, the greatest part of the water was pressed out of them, and they were mixed with an equal weight of coarse wheat-meal. The dough was then made in the usual manner with yeast, salt, and water. It rose well, was made up into loaves, and baked in the usual manner, When drawn from the oven, a loaf was cut and found to be sweeter than common bread, full as light and white, with a slight, but not disagreeable, taste of the turnip. Twelve hours afterwards this taste was scarcely perceptible, and in twenty-four hours was entirely gone. Dr. BELL has transferred 15,000l. stock, 3 per cent. consols, to the Univer sity of Cambridge, in trust, to found eight rew scholarships. The scholars to rising, show a disposition in the air for fair bee sons or the orphans of those cler-weather. men of the church of England whose stances and situations are altomer such as not to enable them to bear sole expence of sending their sons the University. The first election take place between the 12th of No. Ser and 21st of December, 1810, there shall be elected two scholars third year of standing, that is, who admitted between commencement a15 and 1808; profits to cominence Jaly the 6th, 1810, and to be conand for two years. At the same time Libe elected two other scholars of the od year, who were admitted between encement 1808 and commencement ; profits to continue for three years. De second election will be on the Friday der Mident Sunday, 1811, of two schos of the first year; profits to continue four years. The fourth election will Friday after Midlent Sunday, 1813, ather scholars of the first year, to succeed those two of the third year who were two of the four first chosen, and so rever; the profits to continue for for years and no more. Every scholar stake the degree of A.B. in the most manner. No scholar to be acted from King's College, or from Try Hall. The electors are, the Vice Chaceior, the Regius Professor of Diray, the Regius Professor of Civil Law, Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, at the Public Orator. Mr. RICHARD WALKER, in some late serrations on the barometer, observes, Sonder to prognosticate the weather as of the barometer, one general hould be premised, viz. that, preto observing the barometer, the of the weather at the time should carately noticed in every particular. Je, to speak figuratively, we might tha motto to the barometer, "Tell at the weather is, and I will tell you at it will be." The circumstan, eculected previously to inspect the Teter are, 1st, The state of tat s to 3. The atmosphere becoming clear, and the barometer above CHANGEABLE, and rising, indicate fair weather. 4. The atmosphere clear, and the barometer near FAIR, and rising, denote continued fair weather. 5. Our prognostic of the weather is to be, guided, relatively, thus: If, notwithstanding the sinking of the barometer, little or no. rain follow, and it afterwards rise, we may, expect continued dry weather. 6. If, during a series of cloudy rainy wea ther, the barometer rise gradually, though yet below RAIN, especially if the wind chang from the south or west towards the north or east points, clear and dry weather may be expected. 7. The weather for a short period, viz. from morning until evening, may commonly be foretold with a considerable degree of certainty. If the barometer has risen during the night and is still rising, the clouds are high and apparently dispersing, and the wind calm, especially if it be in or about the north or east points, a dry day may be confidently expected: the same rule applies for predicting the weather from evening till morning. 8. During the increase of the moon there seems to be a greater disposition or effort in the air for clear dry weather than in the wane: but this disposition does not usually com-. mence till about three or four days after the new moon, and ceases about three or four days after the full moon. 9. The barometer should be observed oc casionally thrice in the day, or oftener when the weather is changeable, in order to notice whether the mercury be stationary, rising, or sinking; for from this circumstance, together with the direction of the wind and the apparent state of the air at the time, is information to be collected, and a continuance of the same, or a sudden change of the weather, to be foreseen. 10. Lastly, observe always: The higher ' instance, and the more regularly progressive the mercury shall stand in the scale in each its motion shall be, the stronger will be the indication: likewise, The more the wind inclines towards the north or east points, the greater will be the disposition in the air for fair weather. The indications of rainy weather will ob pere, respecting its degree of far-viously be the direct reverse of those rules which predict fair weather. cloudiness: 2dly, The direction wind, together with its steadiness ableness and 3dly, The altitude dessity of the clouds. The barometer rising may be considered general indication that the weather, comely with the state of it at the time of ervation, is becoming clearer. Frost is indicated in winter by the same rules that indicate fair weather, the wind being in or about the north or east points, and the thermometer sinking towards 32. A fall of snow seldom comes without a previous frost of some duration, and is indicated by the sinking of the barometer, espe cially if the mercury be below cHANGEABLE, and the thermometer at or near the freezing derer, and the barometer above RAIN, and point. The atmosphere apparently becoming STELY MAG. No. 209. When the temperature of the air is about 35°, snow and rain sometimes fall together; at a warmer temperature than 35° it seldom snows, or rains at a colder temperature. Thunder is presaged by the same rules which indicate rain, accompanied by sultry heat; the thermometer being up to 75. Storms, hurricanes, and high winds, are indicated by the barometer falling suddenly, or sinking considerably below MUCH RAIN. The barometer is known to be rising or sinking by the mercury having either a convex or concave surface, or by the perceptible rise or descent of the mercury, if at the time of observation the barometer be gently rapped. If at any time the weather should differ widely from the indications of the barometer, it may be presumed, as is sometimes known to happen, that a particular spot is affected by local circumstances. After a long continued series of wet weather, we may, when the weather becomes fine, ex pect an uninterrupted continuance of dry weather. If, after a long series of wet weather, the barometer rise above CHANGEABLE, and the wind veer steady to the north or east points, a continued duration of fair weather may be expected. Slow and progressive variations in the barometer, with a fixed and steady state of the wind, indicate permanency with the change. The barometer standing at or above FAIR, denotes generally fair weather, although the atmosphere wear at the time an unfavourable aspect.

Lastly, the greater coincidence there is of the circumstances enumerated in the rules above mentioned, the stronger may our confidence be in the expectation of fair weather,, and in the continuance of it when present, by the barometer whilst high, remaining stationary, or varying but little, and the state of the atmosphere, and direction of the wind, disposed to be settled. of Population of the late French Islands The present population of Mexico is estimated at 135 to 140,000 individuals, and consists of 2,500 white Europeans; 65,000 white Creoles; 33,000 indigenous (copper-coloured); 26,500 Mestizoes, mixture of whites and Indians; 10,000 Mulattoes: 137,000 inhabitants.
