On the 4th of June the Bologna prediction was not known 

 here; but I ripprchend that the prediction of the end of the 

 world was a mistaken deduction from the same premises as the 

 above. 



Aug. 15th. Verified. 



Anxious to make another trial of the veracity of such obser- 

 vations, I aifixed to the door of the corn-market an anonymous 

 paper, September 21st. 



Sept. 24 th. Cloudy, with indications of rain ; partial showers. 

 25th, 2Gth, 27th, fair; 28th, thunderclouds; 30th, fair in the

 observations, the selection of a particular hour does not admit of 

 a register so ample as appears desirable. I have (luoted the 

 above, as thev serve to corrol)nrate the coincidences to which I 

 wish to invite the attention of meteorologists, and propose ha- 

 zarding some antici|)ations in a fiiture paper.
