The quantity of rain fallen fince the laft Report has been equal to full feven inches of 
depth ; fo confiderable a fall is not at all ufual; it will, however, be found, by referring to 
the Magazine for December 1802, that the preceding month (November) in that year was 
a very wet one, more than 53 inches of rain in depth had then fallen; the average heat of 
that month, and of this which is now clofed, were near! y the fame, that of the former being 
46.45; of the latter it is 46.74. Hence it fhould feem, as we have before remarked, that 
the quantity of rain in the winter months is in proportion to the average heat. 
It may allo be frequently obferved that a very white froft terminates in rain; this circum- 
ftance occurred on the morning of the 23d, and about ten or eleven o’clock, the rain be- 
, and has continued with fcarcely any interval to the prefent time (10 o’clock at night 
en the 24th): in the courfe of the prefent day the rain has been accompanied with a con- 
fiderable fall of fnow ; the thermometer having been never higher than 37°, the wind pretty

‘6 DEAR SIR, Trofton, November 23, 1804. 
«¢ Laft night, in returning home from Stanton, about a quarter palt feven im the evening 
{I cannot be accurate, for want of fufficient light to diftinguifh), I was ftruck with an ap- 
pearance a little weft of the north, like the moon feeming to break through a cloud. 
Prefently after I faw a luminous arch, a fegment of an eclipfe, of great eccentricity, its 
altitude being nearly 20%, and its extent on the horizon about 110%, Its breadth pretty uni- 
formly about 2°, Its greateft altitude a little eaft of the north. Near the weftern edge of 
it, about 15? or 18° from its horizontal point on that fide, were two cometary appearances of 
very bright thin light, with fplendid, but ill-defined, nuclei to each, of about 30! diameter, 
parallel to each other, and their trains (cyprefs-formed) reaching perpendicularly upward 
to the height of about 18 or 20%, fo as to crofs the lyminous arch, and pafs above it in 
but am happy to give you fome account of this. The {pace beneath the arch appeared likea 
dark cloud. The reft of the iky in general was very clear and ftar-light, Had WricuT, 
of Derby, been living, the phencmenon was every way worthy of his pencil, fa

MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. 
HE feafon has been favourable for finifhing Wheat fowing ; and, owing to the fcarcity of 
this grain this year, a confiderable addition to the land ufually cropped has been made. 
That which is up looks very well.—Tares and Rye have both made a rapid growth this 
month, as well as the Jaté Turnips.—There has been rather too much wet for the winter 
fallows ; but, upon the whole, they come up better than was expected. 
Store Cattle are filling the ftraw yards from the cold lands; but on dryer foils they are ; 
ftill out. 
_ Store Stock of all kinds is much the fame in price as laft month, except Hogs, which are 
dearer. : : ssh Pi 
The Clover which has been threthed yields very badly, but the quality is good.
