METEOROLOGICAL TABLE, Kept at Edinburgh, in the Observatory, Caltonhill. N.B.-The Observations are made twice every day, at nine o'clock forenoon and four o'clock afternoon. The second Observation, in the afternoon, in the first column, is taken by the Register Thermometer. THE weather continued extremely dry towards the end of April; the hills were covered with snow; and in the lower districts the mercury frequently fell below the freezing point during the night. Hoar frosts at night, with hot sunshine through the day, have been frequent since the commencement of the present month. The amount of rain since our last does not exceed 7-10ths of an inch, and the ground is exceedingly dry, and vegetation rather languid. On rich clay-lands wheat maintains a healthy appearance; on all dry, black lands, the plants suffer severely; and as the ear is now formed, it will to a certainty be small on such lands. Oats have come up rather unequal in many instances, except when they were sown very early; after clover they look yellow. Barley has been for the most part sown, but an irregular braird appears. Cutting-grass is very backward, and pastures afford a scanty bite. Potatoes have been all planted, and fallow-grounds clean easily. Labour is in a forward, and vegetation in a rather backward state. The corn-markets have felt a severe depression, in consequence of the measures adopted by the Legislature respecting the corn now in bond, and contemplated discretionary importation to a certain extent. Cattle are lower priced than last season, and sales are very dull. About the end of April the pear trees in orchards were in full blow, and doubts were entertained that the blossom would have been completely destroyed by the unusually severe frost. Many of the blossoms have indeed been nipt, but still a considerable number have set, and swell freely. Apricots on walls, that had their upper surface completely frozen, continue to swell from the under side, and the diseased part forms a hollow on the upper exposed surface. Apples are at present in full blow, and a fairer flower, uninjured by insects, is seldom observed. The extreme dry weather during the frost has saved the blossom, and we may now calculate almost to a certainty on a full crop of fruit. Perthshire, 14th May 1826. VOL. XVIII. 4 L -Amsterdam, 12: 8.
