It has been dry weather, with the ex¬ 
ception of a very few thunder showers, 
from the 2d of May until the 6th instant; 
yesterday, day before, and to-day, have 
been ramy, with but little wind and no 
olitenmg nor gusts; the river has been

It must now, according to my theory of 
the earth, be either about the greatest 
eight of cold, or the commencement of

the N. polar verge, within the poltfr 
opening- that is, the greatest degree of 
cold that can exist there at any time when 
tire sun is North of the line; if this rain 
is in any degree periodical, it may be 
somehow attributable to the existent of 
6U0h cold within the verge prodilcTn, i 
condensation ot the air there, so as°to
