The weather, during this period has the 

 decided character of a rainy month ; there 

 has been but eight days of the whole num- 

 ber on which no rain has fallen. On some 

 of the days stated as rainy, the quantity 

 has been small, and in the character of tly- 

 ing showers. On fine days the rain has 

 fallen in large quantities, and with the cha- 

 racter of heavy showers of long continu- 

 ance, and in two instances a settled rain 

 during the night. The early part of the 

 period contains but one day of considerable 

 rain, which was on the 27th March ; the 



r of the Clouds.

In the Hou.se of Commons Mr.

 to shorten the duration from seven to 

 three years. This proposition led to a

 on the followinfif evening several mem- 

 bers s])oke, others were supposed to 

 intend to speak, among whom was Mr. 

 Canning, when on Mr. I.,ambton and
