shine, p.m. -——18. There has been scarcely any rain since the 4th; the sky 
mostly grey, with light clouds; at times overcast, or filled with Cumulostratus : 
the wind northerly, breezes, and the air drying; so that the roads at the close of 
the period, notwithstanding some very light showers of late, remain considerably 
covered with dust. The diverging bars of light and shadow, produced by the sun’s 
rays passing through the interstices of clouds, have been several times exhibited 
within these two days,
