CIRCULAR.

The Parliamentary proceedings of the I Ith of May ult., when
allusion was made to the truth of the effect of the weather upou
the luaveats of the last eleven years; and the 'reports of the
House, at the Same time, fiunishing the list of the prices of wheat
during the late years, which-was wanting to complete the series,
have directed the' attention of the author of the Cycle of the
Weather more particularly to the subject of prices; and he has,
in consequence,- within these few days, detected the rotation of
the variation of prices, which, in arrangement, is precisely upon
the same general, principle. of construction, and possessing every
property of a cr*, and is equally simple and definable in cha-
racter ; and what is rather remarkable, the rotation of the prices
throw much light upon, the weather itself, althinigh its cydes
have bean some time known, and, and that the disposition of the
variation of the, prices is wholly eau unexpected description, and
perfectly original in icrial.

sent communication.' It is scarcely necessary to mention that, in
regard to the general basil*, this new system is of much greater
and snore immediate importance than the discovery of the Cycles
of the weather, and it is also much easier understood ; the one in
company with the other renders the account of the system of the
weather every way satisfactory. It is proposed to designate this
discovery the " Circle of Prices."

Thr Circle of Prices is a proof of the Cycle of the Weather
and the Cycle of the Weather has proved the means of detecting
the circle of variation of the prices. When the knowledge of
these matters is spread abroad, political economy will become a
science.—lnverness Courier.

A Huddersfield correspondent informs us, that it
manufacturer in the neighbourhood of Clayton, in the
fancy waistcoat line, has reduced the price of weaving
about one-third, and that his workmen are required to
take three-fourths of the amount of their labour in
provisions, nut of the best quality, nor at 80 cheap
rate as they may he bought elsewhere. It is added,
that the principal manufacturers of limey roods in the
neighbourhood of Huddersfield condemn this practice,
which none of them imitate, and tbst the merchants
consider it
inish a better remedy for- the prevailing dis-
treqs to dim
the (porky of goods manufac-
hired, than to reduce the wage* of the workmen.—

We have satisfaction in calling the notice

our church-estahliShnient, but especially our clerical'
readers, to
able the very and interesting pamphlet just
named. 'lt- is universally known and deplored, that
by far thelarger majority of the labouring parochial.
clergy are; but , very inadequately provided-for, and the
provision they--have is so Small, that instances too
frequently occur of their' leaving their Widows and
orphans in a state .of :destitution, or
,the pen-
sioners of casual: charity.. -A plan is. here, propos-

moderate annual payments, annuities' may be secured
to the widows 'of the poorer clergy,. The creation of

SCIENCE.

The importance of simultaneous observations, at
distant stations, towards the determination of various
interesting 'data, willbe well known to our meteoro-
logical readers ; not less so the mportance of finding
the mean ,pressure and temperattire ;' for, 24 hours.
This diAm can only be satisfactOrily found by a, ,scries
of observations made hourly, or even at shorter inter-
vals, through an entire, period of 24 hours. With the
of Obtaining' and collecting results of this nature,
much has of late, been. done ;by the Royal Society of
Edinburgh ; and a highly interesting paper, .by Dr.
&miter, has 'lately been read before that body on the
Subject. In furtherinte Of these 'objects, printed no-
tices have been circulated by the Society,
,requesting
that a series of observations on the, barometer, thenno-;
meter (inshade), taintauge, .84c. should be made in'
various parts of the,kingdom, on Monday thel7th
Stay, at every hour; front 1 A.11i..t0 12 P.M. Any of
our readers, who are in possession of a good barometer
and thermometer, will be contributing. to the advance
of science by making such nioarv4tions, and corium.l
nicating them to the Secrettitt Dr. islyinkster,'
burgh. The ;number 01' obserVations collected frcAn
distant places is an essential object. The place should
be specified, the nature of the situation, state of wind
and weather; and height above the level of the sea; it
