THE month of April commenced with very dry weather, which continued during the first week. On the 8th there fell nearly an inch of rain, with a strong gale from the East. From that time till the 26th, the weather was generally dry, and sometimes exceedingly so. On the 26th, and during the whole of the 27th, it rained very hard; the quantity, in 24 hours, exceeding an inch; after which, a considerable increase of temperature took place, and the month terminated with mild weather. On the whole, however, the month was cold and stormy, the wind blowing generally from the East and North East. On the afternoon of the 4th, Leslie's Hygrometer stood at 67, and Wilson's at 63; the Thermometer, at the same time, being at 56. This dryness, according to Anderson's Formula, gave the point of deposition as low as 14 of Fahrenheit, but neither was this the lowest observed during the month. On the morning of the 25th, Leslie's Hygrometer stood at 36, but the temperature being then only 41, the point of complete saturation was as low as 8. To account for this extraordinary depression, it must be remarked that, as the wind was blowing strong from the North East, and directly upon the spot where the Hygrometer is exposed, the instrument indicated a much greater degree of dryness than actually existed; though, from the cold regions over which the wind passed, that dryness must also have been considerable. To the prevalence of that wind, during the greater part of the month, must be ascribed the depression of the mean point of deposition below the mean minimum temperature. The fluctuations of the Barometer have been smaller, those of the Thermometer greater, than usual. The mean temperature is nearly 5 degrees lower than the same month last year, and the quantity of rain more than quadruple.
