The quantity of rain fallen this month is equal to 0.951 inches of depth. 
The moft remarkable variation in the barometer was obfervable, between the evening of 
the 20th and the 23d infant. A high wefterly wind, which did confiderable damage in and 
about the metropolis, fuddenly threw down the mercury about half an inch; when abating 
fomething in its violence, and fhifting towards the north, it had the effect of raifing it, in the 
courte of fix-and-thirty hours, a fullinch. Since that time to the prefent, (Jan. 27) it has 
not varied a fingle/tenth. ed 
We have noticed above that, on the morning of the 16th inftant, the thermometer was 
as low as 10°§ had we taken our obfervation at fix or feven o'clock inftead of eight, we 
fhould probably have found it fome degrees lower; as it was then evidently rifing, and in a 
few minutes it was at 12°, and continued gradually vifing till it came tothe freezing point, 
at which it ftood the remainder of the day. Notwithftanding the great feverity of the cold 
that morning, the wind was due weft; the ground, trees, &c. were covered with aremark- 
able thick hoar fro%, which are general indications of a change in the weather. . 
Fortunately for the labouring clafies, although we have had, already, a greater propor- 
tion of fevere weather than ufual, yet at no one time has it continued fo longas to block up 
che navigation of the river, and thereby to aiford a pretence of raifing the price of tood and 
firing greatly above the enormgus rates at which they ftand, and/at which they feem likely 
to remain. . ; 
We have, fince the laf Report, had nineteen days without rain, of which &x have been — 
remarkably brilliant.. The wind has been variable; fix days only it has blown from the 
eaiterly point of the heavens.
