THE MARCH OF INTELLECT.

Colonel Despreaux, in a late pamphlet on the Police of Paris, remarks, that there seem to be different periods for different crimes.  He had always observed the summer months to be comparatively months of low riot.  November began the burglaries, January and February the stealing of pocket-handkerchiefs and snuff-boxes, probably from the conflux to the theatres at that time.  But, that swindling transactions, and all other frauds that require peculiar dexterity, were prevalent about March.

LONDON LEVELS.

The most lofty site in the immediate vicinity of London is the tavern called Jack Straw’s Castle, on the brow of Hampstead Heath, which is 443 feet above the Thames.  The top of the cross of St. Paul’s Cathedral is 407 feet, whilst its base, or ground-line, is 52 feet.  The base of the lowest building is that of the Bricklayer’s Arms, Kent Road, the sill of the south door of which is only six inches above the high-water mark.  The sill of the north entrance-door of Westminster Hall is only 11 inches.
