ptires fell from 4I. to 61. per bag, feme forts more. Now, however, that picking is com> 

 menced, and nearly fiiii(hv;<l, it is certainly known that the growth falls fir Ihort of what 

 ■was expefted J and at 27,0 ol., oKl duty, there is no doubt it is much over-rated. The 

 plant is ir. a very weakly ll.Ue from tlie two laft crops, being large ; and. though aided by 

 iSne weather, the fft'.)rt at improvement has in moft inftanccs laile-l. Tne 25th inflant is 

 ftiltd the firfl Hop-market day fur the feafo.T at Canternury ; but not a firaple was offered 

 for fale ; nor w s there a pocket at market at the fail at Worcefter — a ciicumftance 

 fearcely ever remembered before ! 



Store Catt.e h vc been brought in immenfe rumbers to the late fairs, particularly at 

 ISarnet, where tiien: was a gieat Ihiw of Scotcli and Welch Kunts; j lo fome WelcK 

 Sheep, and Horfes, .ill winch were fold at reduced prices, and were dull of fale. Cowa 

 and Calves of the Ihort- h.^rnert- breed fold well; as did Horfes for the Civalry and 

 Ar.'iiiery ; of the mo^e infciior kinds of which there were great jiumbers, but not 

 folcui)lc. Store Sheep are much lower; and Ljiiibs at the late tjreat fairs in Norfolk; 

 «nd Suffolk fell from zs. to 5 . per heirf chejptr tlian they were at the ^r-at Lamb fairs 

 laft year. The South Downi itill continue the favourite, and are every where the pre- 

 ■vailing breed. In Smithiicld, B.ef fells from 48. 4d to i;?. 4d.; Mutton 4s. to 5s.; 

 Veal 5s. to 6s. 4J. ; Pork 4s. 8d. to (t %i. ; and Lamb 5s. to Cs. per Itcne <if ilb.

The quantity of rain fallen this month is equal to 1.73 inches in depth. 



The principal mcteorolo[;icai occurrence to be recoruVJ this nionih is a moli violent thun- 

 der- liorm which happened on the 6ih inlL "in and near che metropolis, betvveen fix and (even 

 e'tlock in the morning. The olUelt pcrfons declare they ntver heard thunder more loud or 

 witiuffed lightning more vivid. This irorm extended to many other part.' of the kingdom, 

 though not with equal violence. At Fortlmouth it happened jn hour and a half earlier than 

 inLondon. Another ftorrn, in whicii the 114-hiniijg was very vivid, bat the thunder not re- 

 EUikably loud, was witnell^d in the evening of the I9ch. 



Tne wind during the month has been variable, an.i the weather upon the whole very fine 

 jnd feafoiiable. The average height of the tnermometer is about 5S', foniething lets than 

 tke a.vcrage height of the fame month laftyear.
