Probable Weather for November, 1S65. — The forecast for October was less 

 accurate in details than any published during the year. It was correct in indi- 

 cating " much agreeable weather, but with several distinct changes," and in giving 

 the characteristics of the several periods named, except from the 16th to 23rd, when, 

 instead of fine weather, we had heavy rains and gales. Next month is likely to be 

 generally agreeable, with very fine weather at intervals. From 1st to 8th, damp, dull, 

 and with rain and fog ; wind N.W. From 9th to 18th fine, occasional frosts ; wind 

 N.E. to due E. and back. From 19th to 24th variable, but generally good weather 

 for the season ; wind N.W. to S.W. and round to N.E. From 25th to end damp 

 and showery, with intervals of sunshine like returning summer j wind S.W. and 

 round to N.E.
