E EA TH ER.

Extract-from a .11Evrronot.00lcat. Jauf NAL for Nov. 1823,
kept at the Observatory of the Academy (Dr. BunetEY's),
Gosport, !lents
November is generally. allowed. to be one of the darkest
and most dreary months. in the year, arising from du:lowness
of the clouds, trent the small power the sun's rays have in rati-
fying the exhalivione from the earth, from the humidity of t!te
air near its surface during the continuance of westerly winds,
anti tile consequent obstructione to the sunshine. The pre-
sent Month, however, has .tbrtned a striking contra tost the two. preceding Novembers in 1821 and 1822, in
respect to the
-quantity of rain thee fell here, and it may be termed a dry
month for the season, as partly proved by the hih meat&
pressure of the annoSpherited column, and the small fluctua-
tions of the mercury in the barometer. We have only had six
or seven slight frostymornings this month, and the latter part
of the period was distinguished fur its mildness, and the re-
appearance of cot monjaea from their winter retreat.
Front the Bth to the 97th, only two-hundredth of an: inch
of rein fell here, yet., the evaporation is but little, in come-
quence of the temperature of the wound, compared to that
in the same month of the last three years. •
" The temperature of spring water huts only decreased three-
quarters of a degree wince tile last -day of October, and it
has remained stationary sin co the Gth instant. .The Moan temperature of the external air this month is about one-sixth
of a degree higher than the mean of the same month for a
series of years; but nearly two degrees and three-quarters
lower than in I,st November. -
The atmospheric and Meteoric .plowitomeno that have come
within our observation this month,..are, two pareeeletteee three • lunar tales, five meteors, lightning and thunder in the night of
the 4th, and six gales of wind, or days on which they heve pre-
vailed—namely, one front the N.. one from the 14.};1.,..0ne S.E.,
and three from the S.W.; the battiest of thette were on the that
and last days.
