THE temperature during the month of October, has been gradually, though slowly, on the decline. At the beginning of the month, the maximum was about 58, and the minimum 43, towards the end the former was but a few degrees above 40, and the latter several degrees below it. On the 9th the thermometer sunk to the freezing point, and on the 28th half a degree below it, but on several other days the ground was covered with hoar frost. The barometer, during the first 10 days, stood above 30 inches, after the 15th it was seldom so high as 29. For the first fortnight there was no rain, with the exception of a slight shower on the 1st, but after the 15th it rained frequently, and sometimes very heavily. The state of the hygrometer has been much the same as during the month of October last year, but as the temperature is this year lower by about 2 degrees, the quantity of moisture in the atmosphere has been considerably less. It is generally understood, that the mean temperature of the last 10 days of October, is a near approximation to the average temperature of the whole year. This season the former must be the lower of the two by at least 3 degrees. The temperature of spring water is 34 degrees below what it was in October 1819. The average of the daily extremes is again less than that of 10 morning and evening.
