The quantity of rain fallensince the last Report of it, is equalto nearly 2 inches in depth. 
The season has, indeed, been remarkably dry, and, the easterly winds being apparently set 
in, we may expect much more dry weather, with occasional showers only. The gardens 
seqguire rain, but the season must be favourable for sowing the spring-corn, and also for the 
wheat. iS 
» Snow fe}}on the 7th of the present month, but, on the three days prior to the present, 
we have had almost summer heat; the severé easterly wind of this day has caused a varia= 
tion of 9° in the thermometer, and to the feelings there is a still greater difference. There 
liave been tWenty very brilliant days in the month: the average height of the thermometer 
for the month is 48°5, and that of the barometer 29°54. The wind has blown chiefly 
from the easterly quarters.
