variation in C 18°. n stood at 58® and at the 
24 hours. \ jsame hour on the 23d, 
it was no higher than 
40'^. 
The quantity of rain fallen since the last report of it is equal to 3-^ i.o depth. 
The average heat for the nronth that is now ended is much greater than usual for the 
■season, it being 58®, and the changes in the temperature have been but trifling except in 
the instance above referred to. The mean height of the barometer is eq'ual to 29.45, wbicn 
is sulhcientiy low to account fur afl the rain that hss fallen ; a.nd the number of days on 
H'hich it has fallen is about 13 or 14 j of the remainder many v/ere brilliant as days in the. 
height of summer. It is observaiile that the flaest and clearest weather occurs when the mer¬ 
cury in the barometer is moderately high, and it often happens, perhaps generally, that 
wiien k is at the highest, or above 30®, the at^iosphere is cloudy. The wind during the 
month has blown chiefly from the westerly points. 
There have been many foggy mornings, more than usual for October, b-at most of them 
rve.re succeeded by very bright aays : the fog on the evening of Saturday the 19th was so great 
as to occasion much miscliief to travellers in and about 'the metropolis j the ditliculties of 
going from place to place in a fog such as that referred to, cannot be well conceived by those 
who have net experienced them.
