the Satlej, has sent us the following table of Barometrical observations, with the 
resulting heights thence calculated. The observations were compared with those 
published in the Gleanings, as taken at the Surveyor General’s office. The Barome- 
ter of our correspondent must however, we apprehend, have been subject to a 
constant error, judging at least by the calculated height given to Barelly, 1090 
feet, whereas we cannot believe it to be more than 800 feet. H. S. B. will, 
we hope, give us some account of the instrument and its means of adjustment, 
particularly of the zero point.
