Of the late severe Cold.-The low degree at which the Mercury stood on the morning of the 18th instant has not been equalled since the 15th January, 1820, when the thermometer was 4 degrees lower, viz. 31 degrees below the freezing point, or 1 degree above zero: the severity of the weather at that period was generally felt. Our readers are referred to an extract from a letter, dated at Osterdalen (see No. 162). Another letter from Moss, which has not appeared in the Literary Gazette, is, perhaps, worth extracting:-" January 7th. The winter Norway is very severe; Christiania Fiord, which is rarely frozen, is now so strongly covered with ice, that persons travel with safety from the eastern to the western

de of the country in sledges. It is expected that the Stage Raket will soon be sufficiently covered with ice, that we may drive from Norway to Denmark! We have my one instance on record of the latter having occurred. Swedish history informs us that Gustav Adolph with his The army crossed the ice to Denmark. The average gn of snow is 6 feet, and the cold varying from 18 to 2 decrees below the freezing point, according to our scale of Reaumur."*

The lowest degree at which the thermometer has been ticed in the Meteorological Diary kept at Edmonton accurred on the 25th of December, 1796, when it was 6.5 degrees below zero, or 38-5 below the freezing point; and tis supposed the severity of the frost exceeded any thing ever before known in this kingdom. Many were frozen to death. The low state of the thermometer in the preceding on the 25th of January, is also worthy of remark, when it was 1 degree below zero, or 33 degrees below the freezing point.

THE CHALK DRAWINGS AND SKETCHES OF

SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE,

LATE PRESIDENT OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY, &c. &c.

MR.
R. RICHARD J. LANE announces his intention to execute (for publication) a Series of Imitations of Drawings and Sketches by the

late esteemed and lamented Sir Thomas Lawrence.

From the high character of the Drawings which have already been kindly intrusted to Mr. Lane in furtherance of his object, he is enabled (even at this early period) confidently to promise a selection of the most interesting Subjects; and he hopes that (from his experience in copying the Drawings of Sir Thomas Lawrence), it may be reasonably expected that his Work will not be discreditable to the Memory or the Name of the Great Master, whose lighter Productions have so eminently advanced his exalted reputation.

Should the Possessors of any Works of this class be willing to enable Mr. Lane to extend his Plan, by intrusting to his care such valuable Drawings, the favour would be most highly appreciated; and they may be assured that no Drawing would be retained for a longer time than the adequate execution of the Imitation might require, which term would in very few cases exceed ten days or a fortnight. 4, Ulster Place, January 27, 1830.

peculiarities of his own character, it will afford, we understand,
views of society and of scenes new in a great measure to litera-
ture, particularly in the descriptions of the foundation and rise
of an American settlement, with the moral effect of its progress
on the dispositions of the different persons who occupy the fore-
ground of the pictures. In this respect the work will have special
