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. FROM the middle of December till the 25th of that month, dark and moist weather prevailed. On Christmas day a frost set in, which continued till the end of that month, accompanied with a thin sprinkling of snow. Cold sleet ushered in the new -year, and showers were frequent till the 6th; from that period frost has been severe on swampy soils, the mercury often falling, in course of the night, 15o or 20° Fahreinheit; and a thin sprinkling of snow covers all the high grounds. The navigation of the rivers is completely obstructed, consequently shipping grain from inland districts meets with a temporary obstruction. Threshing out grain, or driving out dung, are the only farming operations now going forward. From experiencing two mild winters in succession, few turnips have this year been stored for the feeding-byre; the bulbs being generally so small, and for the most part frosted to the centre, they consequently must be less nutritive. Little at present can be said of the appearance of wheat, the soil in general being comparatively dry. The plants, in the meantime, will not likely suffer severely. The danger will be greater if the frost continues when the day lengthens, and when the sun's influence will produce a partial thaw on the surface throughout the day. In the corn-markets we can record nothing but dull sales since our last; yesterday a slight advance was obtained in most of the market-towns. The new Weights and Measures cannot be yet uniformly acted on, as in some towns the Imperial Standard has not arrived. It is amusing to see how our agricultural brethren in the south fret themselves about the adoption of what, on the slightest consideration, must appear in the shape of a public benefit. Their sieves, forsooth, are too little for filling the new Standard bushel, and therefore must be useless. This would be a grievous loss, were they not allowed to fill their sieves twice; but against this there is no restriction in the Act, Well, but they will lose the additional measure, as it will not be recognised in the price: but the first report from Marklane, after the Act came in force, states expressly, that in prices there was no alteration but 28. per quarter; more was obtained in consequence of the difference of the new measure: on such frivolous grounds as these, do these gentlemen propose petitioning Parliament against the Act coming into operation. 14th January 1826. - Course of Exchange, London, Jan. 17.- -Amsterdam, 12: 8.
