pain he suffered must have been excruciating, he

DAILY REMARKS ON THE WEATHER, &c.

JUNE 1. Fair and warm, with a fine sky of cirrocumulus, and nascent cumuli. The crescent of the new moon appeared soon after sunset, near the NW. horizon, being only 36 hours after her conjunction. Cirrostratus by night.

2. Fog from 3 till 7AM., afterwards, nearly as the preceding day and night. Opposite currents in the evening, and groups of small black thunder-clouds, formed by inosculation of cirrocumuli and cirrostrati, and brought up by a superior current from the SE.

3. Two parhelia appeared at 8 AM., each 140 outside of a solar halo, and 24° distant from, and in a right line with the sun.-The day continued fine: an overcast sky and rain in the night.

4. AM. light rain : PM. fine, with passing thunder-clouds.

5. AM. a low cold mist, which shrouded the sky in the afternoon prevailing plumose and linear cirri, which stretched out to a considerable distance from the main body towards the SW., whence the

rain came after sunset.

6. AM. sunshine, with cumuli, &c. PM. overcast, and a little rain after sun

set.

7. An overcast sky, except two or three hours at mid-day; after the inverted cumuli had mixed with other modifications of cloud, rain came on in the night.

8. Overcast with lofty cumuli, surmounted by beds of cirrostratus, which were succeeded by a rainy day, and a brisk gale from the NE.: a cloudy night.

9. AM. the sky shrouded with attenuated cirrostratus, which afterwards mixed

with cumuli: PM. showers of rain mixed with transparent hailstones. A depression of half a degree, in the temperature of spring-water, has taken place since the 5th instant.

10. Some flying showers of hail and rain in the day: a cloudy night, and a slight hoar-frost without the town.

11. AM. sunshine, with prevailing broken cumulostratus: PM. nimbi and light showers of rain at intervals.

12. Fair, with cirrocumuli and cumulostrati.

13. Faint sunshine, and a solar halo in the morning: the sky overcast with undulated cumulostratus in the afternoon-a fine night.

Jupiter was very bright, and to contrast, was small and of a dull ́appearance.

21. Overcast with cumulostratus in the

day, except an hour or two in the afternoon: a fine night. The evaporation has been great during the last three days (see the Table).

22. As the preceding day: overcast throughout the night.

23. Overcast with dark and inverted cumuli, floating immediately under a veil of cirrostratus.

30. AM. faint sunshine, with attenu ated cirrostratus: PM. a steady and warm rain from the SE.

This month, excepting a few days, has been cold and very dry, with such a continuance of brisk NE. winds, as has not occurred these seven years past, having prevailed 14 days from that point, and 5 from the North.-With these dry currents the mercury of the barometer, from the 11th to the close of the month, ranged between 30-09 and 30-34 inches; and the Index of the hygrometer between 35° and 55°.

In the first week of the month a Robin was observed to sing strong and perfect in the mornings and evenings, which indicated the constitution of the air to be more like the beginning of spring than summer. On the 9th a shower of snow is said to have fallen at Stoke, about three miles to the northward of Chichester; and in the

day of the 10th, several showers of hail fell, succeeded in the night by a slight hoar-frost in this neighhourhood. It has also been asserted by travellers, that on the 11th, snow lay three inches deep on the road between Northampton and Newport Pagnel.

The maximum temperature of the air this month is only 74°, the same as it was on the 26th of last April; so that we are yet 2° short of summer heat.

The mean temperature of the days and nights is a little under that of the cold and wet June in 1816; and more than 20 below the mean of June for the last six years, notwithstanding the greater number of fine sunny days. The temperature of spring-water has fluctuated unusually; and scarcely any dew fell in the nights. From these untoward circumstances, vegetation and the ripening of the fruit were retarded, and the corn kept backward in its growth, but it has a promising appearance here.

The atmospheric and meteoric phenomena that have come within our observation this month are 6 parhelia, 4 solar halos, 1 small meteor, and 1 strong gale of wind from the NE.
