See pagess and7in detailed pamphlet, by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq. * The rates here selected are those adopted by the English and Cambrian Office, and advertised in its distinctive features as low rates of premium, and professedly for the lower and midd:ing classes. In most offices, particularly the older ones, such as the Scottish Equitable and the Globe, these rates would be much higher. In the former of 101. 7s. 6d., with 10 shillings per cent. entrance fee, would be the rate to insure 5001. at 20 years of age. In the latter SI. 13s 4d., to insure the same sum. The higher the rate the more in favour of the DEPOSIT system. t Money laid out at compound interest DOUBLES ITSELF every four teen years. Oricomparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person Under the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow ing advantages, viz., l st. For a lees sum, paid annually, he can assure a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. 2ndly. Companyent of a desire to surrender his Policy he can receive ill this , by the above example, which applies to all ages, Than times as much as on.the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease his current payments for any number of years ; whereas on the ordinary system, he gets nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy he can do s o a t p l easure. He can, at any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 11. up to the Whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three Years, or any time afterwards, raise his policy to a greater or even is former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the bargain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as in a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets inte rest for his money, and in case of death his family receive more than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices be can do no such thig, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any flind to fly to for aid, all his hard-earned saving. become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his more fortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEPOsiT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be universally recognized and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It co nfers greater advantag es t h an a bank because it allows a fair rate Of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the case of death. thus Comp comany bining the to the represent atives of the D e p os it or i n ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. system In case are still m om of endoment assurances t he advantage s of the DEPOSIT striking.

(Hear, hear.) I hope that those bills will yet be made the basis of improvements of that nature. Upon several ether points I might have been inclined to touch now, if the . questions which Mr. Deane put to me had 'not o placed them in a light I dare say sufficiently clear. I shall not, therefore, touch upon them at all. With re spect to the question he asked me on the subject of May , nooth, I stated on a former occasion, at consider a bl e length and with considerable clearness, the reason which led to my conclusions on that subject, The consequence of that statement was, that at the last election I lost a great deal of independent support, which otherwise should have undoubtedly received ; but I believe firmly that the general grounds of policy upon which my opi nion was founded are those which are beneficial for all classes of religionists in Ireland. I firmly believe that a little forbearance on the one side and on the other, a little less of the admixture of religious questions in political disputes, would be one of the greatest elements of con cord amongst us.

I believ ethat if we could leave to religion its own beneficent, charitable, and peace able character, and not mix it with acrimonious feelings— if we could believe that others are sincere in their belief and that that belief acts beneficially in practice, we should be doing good service to religion, and no harm at all to political questions. (Hear, hear.) I am quite sure of this, that it is not the doctrines of any religion, it is not its morality, it is not the matters inculcated by it which tend to embroil society so much as the ad mixture of it with secular and often interested motives. If we could keep religion clear of those motives we would leave it what it really is, namely, the consolation of the afflicted, and the most valuable thing that man can enjoy on earth and hereafter. J enter upon the office to which I have been appointed, I believe more by the countenance and partiality of eminent friends than for any merit of my own ; but I enter on it with a nervous sense of the responsibility I have undertaken. I shall` endeavour as far as in me lies to withdraw from he arena of public discussion questions in which re igioun and political feelings have been strongly mixed. I shall endeavour by all means in my power to promcita peace and goodwill among the people of this country, and I shall do all in my power to develop the resources of Ireland, and by education and other means to raise the social condition of her people. (Hear, hear.) I again return you my best thanks, gentlemen, and I hope when we meet again that you shall not have had reason to disapprove of my conduct. (Cheers.) The assembly then separated.

THE unanimous opinion of the most eminent scientific and medical men of the day, of Baron Liebig, Messrs.

(many of them after careful analyses, and all of them after long experience,) having been pronounced in favour of the healthful and invigorating qualities, as well as the highly dietetic properties of their Pale and Bitter Ales. Messrs. Allsop and Sons do not feel themselves!called upon to go into any further vintlicatiOu of their justly populftr beverage, from the asper sions of malicious and interested parties; but content themselves by announcing that they have commenced supplies from the Brewing of this Season.

She arrived at the Nore at 35 minutes past nine, and finished her trial, running the distance of 15 knots and 200 yards from the Nore light to the Mouse light and back, at 13 minutes past eleVen, showing a speed of 8 . 927 knots against the tide, which ran very strong, and a speed of 12.420 with the tide, but against a double reef topsail breeze. The aver age of the run out and back to the Nore was conse quently 10.673 knots per hour, and the number of strokes of the direct acting trunk engines, on John Penn and Son's patent principle, as counted by a ma c hi ne i n ope ration during the whole trial, was 67'7 per minute, and an equal number of revolutions of the screw propeller, 16 feet 6 inches in diameter, and having a pitch of 16 feet. The draught of water of the Imp6rieuse during the trial was 16 feet forward and It feet 3 inches aft. After the trial the Imp4rieuse was steered for the Med way, and, having taken on board a pilot sent out by the Admiral from the port of Sheerness, she proceeded up that river, and arrived under the sheer hulk at Chatham at five minutes past one o'olock p.m., where one of her masts and bowsprit was suspended in mid air ready to be put on board. It is worthy of remark, as unexam pled in any previous trial of engines for the first time, that there was not, from the moment the Imp4rieuse left Woolwich until she arrived at Chatham, an engi neer's stoppage for one second to adjust any of the screws or other parts of the engines. Everything worked so satisfactorily that the few adjustments required were performed with the greatest ease while at full speed. The only times the engines had to be eased was when the numerous vessels in the river could not get out of her way. LAURENT'S GRAND CASINO.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided "studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which arc so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

THE MOST SEASONABLE FOR THIS SEASON.—The weather being nearly one continued "drip drop," with neither frost or snow. What dress is most suitable for present wear ? The variety of attire manufactured by E. MOSES and SON, supplies the amplest choice for every one, but seasonable at this season are their REVERSIBLE COATS, which for many years they have made in the largest quantities, and in the greatest variety, it is unnecessary to change the name. Reversible means to be worn on either side, one side on wet days, being waterproof, and the other on dry ones. E. MOSES and SON'S styles, materials, and workmanship in this article supercedes those of any other house, and the price charged is considerably less. The most seasonable Dress for Youths and Children is presented at the establishments of E. MOSES and SON, it excels in fit, finish, and fashion. The most seasonable attire for Bails and Dress Circles is that made by E. MOSES and BON, it comprehends richness of ornament, beauty of pattern, and superiority of workmanship. EMIGRANTS. Every class of passengers, male or female, when they procure their OUTFITS at E. MOSES and SONS, they have the following advantages :—They can avail themselves of the largest Stock of OUTFIT rING UTENSILS, CLOTHING, HOSIERY, BOOTS, and SHOES, &c., &c., in the kingdom.

Ship-sailing information and other assistance is gratuitously given to Emigrants on application, or sent, with full Lists cf Outfits (post-free) to any part of the kingdom.—A separate Department kept for Emigrants. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the nntradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have.

Graham, with the Secretary, Mr. Bernal Osborne, M.P., paid their first official visit to Somerset House. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 11. We have had nothing but a succession of gales. This morning, at half-past eight, it blew a perfect hurricane for about half an hour from the southward, The wind then got up to W.N.W., and promised finer weather. At two p.m., however, it backed again to S.W., and has been blowing and raining a deluge. The squadron at Spithead have struck topgallant masts, housed topmasts, got lower yards down, and pre pared for a stormy night. - A clipper-built ship, of remarkable length, was brought up at Spithead about ten a.m. She is called the Chal lenge, Capt. Pitts, is nearly 260 feet in length, 46 feet beam, and over 2,000 tons. .. h .She left the Downs on Sun day. The boisterous state of the weather drove her in here. She is bound to Hong-Kong. Mr. Alfred Balliston, the Acti ng -M as t er o f h er Ma jesty's steam-yacht Elfin, has been this day confirmed or promoted to the rank of Master, and re-appointed to the command of the Elfin. • The Sidon, 22, paddle steam-frigate, Captain Gold smith, got up steam this morning to go to Spithead, being manned and ready for sea ; but immediately after she cast off from her hulk some sad fatality overtook her, and she was compelled to come to an anchor in the middle of the harbour. We believe some important por tion of her machinery became deranged, which she will immediately repair. The Furious, 16, paddle steam-frigate, Captain Lor ing, got up steam this morning and proceeded to Spit head, to await further orders. She saluted the Acting- Commander-in-Chief, Rear-Admiral Fanshawe, C. 8., on going out. The hodney, 90, Captain Charles Graham, C. 8., is ordered to come into this harbour. The Simoom iron steam-frigate (screw), 18, Captain Kingcoine, has been d e t a i ned the past few days for a freight in specie fro m th e T reasury for conveyance to Malta for Governm en t service: The money, to the amount of 10,0001., arrived in special charge from the Treasury last night, and has since been shipped on board the Simoom, which will leave for Malta (calling at Queenstown for troops) as soon as the present stormy weather moderates. The Vengeance, 84, Captain Lord Henry Russell, is ordered to Devonport, to be " paid down," and refit, and will sail as soon as the weather moderates. The Encounter, 14, screw, Captain O'Callaghan, ordered to prepare fo r sea. During the awful w ea th er which prevailed yesterday, is two seamen belonging to her Majesty's ship Rodney were drowned alongside the Victory, at about four glean from various sources, th at the boat from the Rod neyo'clock in the afternoon. I t appears from what we can was on shore, and, unabl e to return to Spithead in consequence of the adverse gale blowing, the crew took her to the flag-ship for shelter. The crew had left the boat, with the exception of th e two boat-keepers, who were in the act of securing the boat when one of them was unfortunately knocked off the swinging-boom ; the other, in the honourable and praiseworthy endeavour to save the life of his shipmate, jumped overboard after him, but both perished.

The Impdrieuse, 50, screw steam-frigate, Captain Watson, C. 8., had her steam up shortly after seven o'clock this morning, and having heaved her anchor started on a further trial trip between the Nore and Mouse Lights, in the deep water of that channel. She soon left the Monkey and Africa steam-vessels far behind, to the surprise of the crews of the numerous craft on the river ' • her low, telescopic fun ne l b e i ng almost invisible over her high bulwarks, and they looked with astonishment to see a vessel of the dimensions of the Impdrieuse moving with such speed, and having no paddlewheels or outward appearanco of the mode in PROMOTIONS.

We gave no credence to the report that Sir James Graham was about to appoint his brother, Captain Graham, to the vacant berth, for although the gallant captain is on the senior list, and two officers junior to him have superintendentships of dockyards, it would have looked rather invidious on the part of the First Lord of the Admiralty to have first made a vacancy by nominat ing Captain Dundas a member of his board, and then have filled up the vacant five years' appointment by no d minating doheanihr Martin n; well n o folso wf a brother.initdoihnhn aegiqualifiedsm,caanwnvx feepofi nrrebyWr the gallant experience, fnaetavhlnul believe nt t ot h . thsa e eain nldodt appointment of navy faidistinguished at a i just h vd a eo s c hak habits and ba e m r t y s ndent, having served actively, in all grades, a SgiofmiC.ila b ef :u ddaer ; retiinl 2 anet 2 sahegc years. Captain Martin is; third and youngest son of the late Henry Martin, Esq., of Colston Basset, Notts, a magistrate for the county, M.P. for Kinsale, and one of the Masters in Chaneery ; and nephew of the late Admiral of the Fleet, Sir George Martin, G.C.8., G.C.M.G. He entered the Royal Naval College, April 3, 1812 ; and embarked, 1815, as midshipman of the Impregnable. He was made a lieutenant in 1821, and served as flag lieutenant in the Queen Charlotte, 100, to Sir J. H. Whitshed, when Commander-in-Chief at Ports mouth. Ho got the " haul-down " promotion in 1824, and was posted as soon as he had served his time, for his share at the Navarino action, in command of the Mus quito, 10. As a captain he commanded the Volage, 26, in 1835 ; Caledonia, 120, as flag-ship of Sir Josias Row ley, to 1837 ; commissioned the Eagle, 50, in Nov., 1844, and commanded her at Brazils, and then in the West Indies for three years, and from September, 1851, commanded the Victory, at Portsmouth, as flag captain to the late Sir Thomas Briggs, G.C.M.G., whose daugh ter he married, and by whom, we believe, ,he has 10 children. Captain Martin, who obtained his C.B. and other honours for Navarino, paid a visit to Deptford yester day.—Morning Herald. THE RESTORATION OF LIEUT. ENGLEDUE. The Portsmouth correspondent of the Times, referring to Lieut. Engledue, truly says— " The restoration of Mr. Engledue, the manager of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's flotilla at Southampton, to his former rank in the Royal Navy, is the theme of general conversation in naval circles at this port. All praise the act of restoration, as Lieut. Engledue stands high in the estimation of all practical naval officers who know his merits ; but all are puzzled to which Board of Admiralty—the Northumberland or the Graham—to award the credit of having done him this tardy justice." We believe it is now pretty well understood that the restoration of Mr. Engledue was the last official act of the late Board of Admiralty, with the concurrence of the board elect, and it is said that the chief recom mendation to the board was, after the consideration of the sharp practice from which he suffered, his handsome ' and patriotic offer on a recent occasion to train all the crews of the contract mail steam-packets at Southampton in the art of gunnery, in order to make them an efficient and available force, in the event of their services being required for the defence of the country ; and his gene rous offer also to register and enlist seamen for the ge neral service. The Duke of Northumberland, and others of the late board, perceived the great value of having such an officer belonging to their own service at Southampton ; and thus in his restoration they repaired to some extent the injury he had sustained at the hands of others. But if the late board were alive to the value of his position, there can be no doubt that Sir James Graham will not have forgotten the service merits of this officer. We believe it was Sir James Graham who wished to make all seamen good gunners, by which, it is said, he thought he could do away with the marine artillery. Be that as it may, however, Sir James took a great interest in the establishment of the Excellent, and Mr. Engledue having been the first officer who passed out - of the Excellent, he must have been regarded with special favour by the right honourable baronet, for the last pro motion which Sir James made before leaving office, in 1834, was that of Mr. Engledue, for his proficiency in naval gunnery. Since that time dozens of officers have risen rapidly on account of their Excellent education— indeed they have been the most favoured of the service, and many are now captains and commanders, who were pupils' of Mrs Engledue, and one of them, Captain Jer ningham, is now an extra captain of the Excellent. There is no doubt that had Sir James Graham continued First Lord of the Admiralty Mr. Engledue would not have been neglected ; but now it is rather a singular coincidence, that, after a lapse of 19 years the lieutenantand his official patron re-ent er th e Navy List at the same time. It is a long interregnum for Mr. Ingledue, but the opportunity is now offered to the successor of the Duke of Northumberland to emulate the last act' of his grace, by compl e ti ng th at measure of justice to one who has already received the reward of merit at his hands by promoting Lieutenant Engledue to one of the first com mander's vacancies that may fall to his patronage.— Morning Iferald. THE ROHISH CHURCH IN LOWER CANADA.—A Mon treal journal gives the following account of the cost of the Roman Catholic Church in Lower Canada :—" The amount of tithes paid to the Catholic clergy by the Ca tholic population is at least 100,0001. per year, which would be for the last 25 years alone the sum of 2,500,0001. Upper Canada is free from such a tax. The loss of time caused to the Catholic population of Lower Canada by the number of obligatory holidays, novena, retraites, &c., is at least 50 days per year for each person, besides the Sabbath. The Catholic population of Lower Ca nada, between the ages of 15 to 16 years, is at least 300,000 persons; each losing 50 days per year, which is 15,000,000 days lost, at a shilling per day, is an annual loss of 750,000/. The loss for the last 25 years would be 18,750,0001. The money paid by the Catholic popu lation of Lower Canada for low masses, high masses, funeral services, funeral anniversaries, marriage expenses, celebration of marriages, ceremonies, &c., becomes also a considerable sum, and c anno t be less than 300,0001. per year, which would be for the last 25 years 7,500,000/. A MODERN ROMANCE.—Madame Carregot, the Mexi can passenger who died on board the Magdalena of yel low fever, was a French girl of a b ou t 22 years o f age. A young Mexican merchant met her in Paris, and becom ing enamoured, took her about two months ago to the city of Mexico to his friends, with the intention of mar rying her. His friends, who are of the highest respecta bility, objected on account of her inferior rank and cha racter, and sent her to Europe. They, however, treated her with great kindness while she was with them, sent a person with her to take care of her as far as Vera Cruz, paid her passage to Southampton, and gave her 3,500 dollars. It was understood that she received that money in cash, and when she died her boxes were examined, and it was found that the money was in the form of a draft on one of the first Mexican mercantile houses in Paris. It was discovered by her papers that Carregeot was an assumed name, and that she had an extensive correspondence with the frequenters of theatres, and many of the gay ones of Paris. SOUTH WILTS. The Right Hon. Sidney Herbert has been returned yesterday without opposition. A contest was generally expected, in consequence of Mr. Grantley Berkely having addressed the constituency, and placed his services at their disposal. Mr. Alexander Pole proposed, and Mr. J. H. Jacob seconded, the nomination of the right hon. gentleman. There being no other candidate proposed the right lion. gentleman was declared duly elected. Mr. S. HERBERT proceeded to address the persons assembled in explanation of the course which he had pursued since his previous election. He then reviewed the acts of the Derby-Disraeli administration and stated that knowing the high character of the Earl of Aber deen, who has been called upon to form the new govern ment, when he (Mr. Herbert) was called upon to join that administration he felt little difficulty, for he had little faith in the principle of the nob() episcop ari. At the same time he must say, that although he was not unac quainted with the sweets of office, he knew that he had many enjoyments of private life to give up, and many personal comforts to sacrifice. Such sacrifices he was perfectly ready to make, if he could be of any service to his county. (Hear.) The party to which he was attached long held an isolated position, but they thought that the time was come when by collecting their forces they might coalesce with those with whose political opinions they were to a certain extent identified. The government was now formed, and the gentlemen around him could as well judge as himself what it was competent to achieve. They had, in some respects, a difficult task to perform. The fbun dation that was laid for the material prosperity of this country in 1846 was now rendered fixed and permanent, despite of the exertions of the 53 or 56 members of the House of Commons who still held on to protection. Such a thing as a Protectionist was now hardly to be seen out of the House of Commons. They had this advantage over their predecessors in office—that they had not appealed to the country to find a policy for them, and they should call upon the country to assist them in supporting it. They would continue to adhere to free trade principles, and not only so, but they were determined to extend them, because they knew that they were wise, just, and beneficial. (Hear.) Talk about their not being an united Administration ! Why, all the Ministerial addresses that had been issued showed their deep attachment to the institutions of the country, while they were determined to promote sound reforms. They did not hold various creeds—those who repre sented counties holding one creed, while those who pre sented themselves before borough constituencies pro fessed another ; they were decided upon principles which they themselves originated, and which they believed to be true. (Hear, hear.) He might be allowed to say that with respect to the question of reform, they should seek from the country time to give it a patient and deliberate consideration. He was not one of those who wished to abolish our ancient institutions, but still he thought they ought to be so modified as to adapt them to the circumstances of the times. (Hear.) He wished to see education extensively spread amongst the people. He thought that to the prevalence of education was to be attributed much of the peaceful spirit which had of late years prevailed amongst the people, and of that in creased moral feeling which was perceptible in every di rection. The people of England were generous and liberal, and must be governed in a generous and liberal spirit. Governments have spoken in fear of the people, and when governments spoke in fear of the people it was not unnatural that the people shoiild fear the government. Fear was not the right principle to pre vail between the people and the government. He hoped that whatever reforms they might have to make they would be guided by a firm attachment to the constitution of the country. In promoting education there were many difficulties to encounter on account of the religious conviction of England. There were countries in which education had been carried further than in England, but with less success, because religion was not connected with it, and he was convinced that without religion edu cation could have no lasting foundation. (Hear, hear.) He wished to see the Church of England predominant in this country, for he had a deep attachment to that church. He wished to see its usefulness extended, its efficiency increased, and all its abuses removed. At the same time that he professed his deep attachment to the Church of England—which was his church and his creed—he wished to give full toleration and liberty to all other religious sects, for he was not one of those who thought that the infliction of civil penalties ever tended to the advancement of religious truth. (Hear, hear.) Religion flourished most where persecution was unknown. For himself, he would make no promises, and would not bid for popularity. He would endeavour to do his duty in the situation he had been called upon to fill, and when at last he sheathed his sword he trusted' he might have the satisfaction of reflecting that, to some extent, he had been humbly instrumental in promoting the benefit of his country. The right hon. gentleman concluded by proposing a vote of thanks to the Under- Sheriff for the manner in which he conducted the election. The UNDER SHERIFF acknowledged the compliment, and the proceedings terminated. COUNTY OF CAVAN. The election to fill the vacancy in the representation of the above county, caused by the acceptance of the office of Secretary of Ireland by Sir John Young, Bart, wa s held on Monday in the Court-house, Cavan. The venerable Archdeacon BERESFORD proposed, and Mr. W. H. ADAMS seconded, the nomination of the right hon. Bart., and there being no other candidate proposed, he was declared duly elected. Sir JOHN YOUNG then said—Gentlemen, I beg leave to return you my most sincere thanks. I assure you that I am deeply sensible of the honour you have done me in electing me again, after so many times and so many trials, to be a representative of this county. I assure you I have the deepest sense of the responsibility which y ou h ave imposed on me, and I h ave an equally deep sense—l may say conscientiously, a most nervous sense of the respon sibihty, of the office which I have undertaken to fill. (Hear.) The vote which displaced Lord Derby was, on the whole, to me a matter of regret ; and it was a matter of surprise that on that vote he went out. I believe that his Government had within it elements of power which would have materially benefitted this country, and on many specific grounds I regret that particular officers in thathGoe vernment have b een di sp l aced. With many of them I have been co nnected by ties of friendship ; for many of them I have the highest possible respect, and in particularl T a r be that Mr. Napier has been displaced.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.—The official report says : The t o t a l num b er o f d ea th s registered in the metropolitan districts in the week that ended last Saturday was 965. I n th e t en corresponding weeks of the years 1843-52 the average number was 1,145, which, if raised in proportion to the increase of population during these years, gives a mortality of 1,260 for the present time. Therefore the deaths returned last week exhibit a reduction of 295 on the estimated amount. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.485 in. The mean tem perature of the week was 45.3 deg., which is 9.7 deg. above the average of the same week in 38 years. The mean daily temperature was much above the average on every day of the week. It was highest on Sunday, when it was 48.9 deg., or 12.6 deg. above the average, and on the following days the excess was successively 7.7 deg., 11.3 deg. 9.7 deg., 7.2 deg., 11.4 deg., and 8.3 deg. The wind blew from the south or south-west. The amount of rain that fell in the week was 0.71 in. The difference between the dew point temperature and air temperature was 5.8 deg.
