The quantity of rain fallen this-month is very trifling : an account of it will be given in our 
gextreport. The average height of the thermometer Jor the month is 619, full three degrees 
and a half lewer than it was for the last month; the variations have been but trifling, as weli 
in the density, as in the temperature of the atmosphere. The wind has been variable, the 
weather in general very bright. The hay-harvest is abundant about the metropolis, and / 
hitherto, the season for gathering it in, has been very favourable, In the eatly part of the 
spring, as we noticed in our report.for April, (see p. 384.) the season was extremely backward, 
but during the last six weeks, the change has been so considerable as to bring every thing ae 
forward as we usually meet with it.at the end of June. . 
Astronomical Antictpations. 
To trace the progress of the Moon for a few evenings we may observe, that she is onthe mee 
ridian on the 3d of July at four minutes past eight: on the fourth it will be two minates past 
nine before she comes into the same position: andon the fifth it will be one minute after ten, 
and on the sixth she will be on the meridian precisely at eleven: at that time Jupiter is just 
rising in the east by south. It is full moon on the seventh at three minutes afternoon: after 
- which she gradually declines till the 25d when we have new moon again. Mercury is an 
evening star till the 29th, but he will be seen with difficulty after the first two or three days 
inthe month, Venus is stilla morning star, but on account of her vicinity to the Sun she is 
not visible. The Sun and Venus are both in thesign Cancer, but at the end of the monih the _ 
' planet will be in the seventh of Leo, and the Sun in the eighth of the same sign. 
The Sun rises on the first day of the month at sixteen minutes before four, and on the last at 
eighteen minutes past four, of course the days shorten, morning and evening, an hour and 
ight minutes. On the first the clock is more than three minutes before the Sun; it goes 
on increasing till on the Sist the difference between a well regulated clock and the sun-dial ig -
