Jaly 6.
The report pressed. to give the details of the man
temperately of the air at Greenwich, that of evaporaton,
and of the dew peiat,for the throe soothe; the result for the
quarter beirq, se regards the first, that the average was be
low that of the ommegoading quarter in the precediag seven
years by 1.2, the snood I°4, and the latter I°3.
The temperstere of the water of the Thames, on en
average, was 3°9 warmer than the air. The horizontal
movement of the air was 240 miles per day on en average ;
on Augmt 21 It exceeded 300 miles.
Rail fell at Stone and Cardington on August 22, and at
Bespingbant on August 6 ; the hailstones at Cerdingten were
et very large dissensions. Gales of wind took place all over
the country on August 20, 21, and 22, but more particularly
on the 21st; at many places tries were blown down, and a
great deal of injury was done ; coasting vessels and Wing
boats genteelly suffered very math.
There were large and continuous falls of rata In July.
At Greenwich, rein fell to the depth of 0.3 inch
on the 16th, 23rd, and 31st. On the 14th, at Latimer Rec-
tory, rain to the depth of half en inch fell in half an hoar.
In August rain was felling more or Ina at every part of the
country on every day. At Greenwich, the amount feted
exceeded 0.3 inch on the lit, 3rd, Bth, 10th, and 21st; and
the falls exceeded 0.7 inch on the 14th and 31st. On the
14. h a !ergs fall occurred at all places. In September, co
the 24th, at Thwaite, between 4 a.m. and 9 a.m., rain fell
to the depth of 2 12 inches, a greater fall within the same
interval of time than bat occurred at Thwaite within the
mending 40 years; and on this day, at Leeds, the fall within
nine hours was 2 inches. Oa the 28th, 29th, and 30th days
rain was falling almost continuously over ell parte of the
country. At Csrdington the fill withia 60 hours was 2 6
inches. At Leicester, the amount within 72 hours wee 2.25
Inches, and this was the amount which fell on these days at
most places. This fall, extending over so large a portico of
the country, is most muses'. At Greenwich the amount of
rain which fell for the quarter was 1.9 inches greater than on
the average of the preceding sev.n years, the average since
1815 being seven inches, the excess over the average for the
last seven years 7.5 inches ' • the whole fall for the first nine
months of the year has been 24.3 inches, en amount which
has not been exceeded during. the present century.
The great prevalence of rata during the quarter, together
with the very short periods of sunshine, has harassed the
farm r in gathering in the crops. The month of July was
about its usual character, but the constant rain in August
impeded the tanner in his operations, and in many of the
anthem counties injured the crops considerably, causing
the corn to sprout, and se d leaves to appear of full, an inch
in length by the middle of August; the greater coldness of
the northern counties prevented the sprouting of the corn,
but it otherwise was seriously injured. Between the 9th
and the 23rd of September the weather was generally fine,
and this period was the only good interval of time for harvest
work during the quarter, and the wheat gathered within
this time was in good »edition. The heavy fele of rein at
