In page 32, of vol. xxvii, of this Ma- 
gazine, we gave the average temperature 
for the seven years preceding, as it was 
taken at Camden-town, a villace two 
miles from the metropolis, which was 
§0°-48; the average of the last year ‘is 
therefore rather more than a_ degree 
short of this. At the same place, and 
for the same period, the average height 
of the barometer was 29-786: for the 
present year, at Highgate, the mean 
height is 29°522: this difference is too

small, we conceive, to account for the 
quantity of rain failen during the last 
twelve months; which is equal to 47875 
inches 1 depth’; ; and is eighteen inches’ ~ 
more than the average depth for the 
above-named period, which will be found 
-m the page and volume already ene 
to, to be 29°613 inches. This las 
quantity, 1s nearly the average depth ieee 
for six years, at Bristol, as will be seen by 
the following Table :

During the year 1809, the number of 
rainy days has ‘exceeded those that may 
be reckoned brilliant in the proportion 
142 to 128; the remainder are divided into 
fair, cloudy, and those on which snow or 
hail fell, so that the whole will stand thus:

We shall pass on to the prevailing 
winds during the year. From the obser- 
vations ‘made by order of the Royal 
Society of London, it should seem that 
the south-west winds are by much the 
most predominant in London: from our 
own. notes we find the westerly, and 
north-west, have had the advantage - 
during the last year. The following
