Tub* W it athbr— Spring Quarter.— The Spring Quarter of this year comprising the months of September, October, and November, has been unusually cold from the more than ordinary p evalence of South westerly and Southerly winds, which also blew with more than customary violence. The temperature of iheair, lias therefore been much lower than the average of seasons, being only once as high a* 75 ° of Farenheit, «nd sometimes as low as 39 ° ; vegetation is in con- • quence very backward* and as much less lain iell during the Vernal quarter than usual, but for the heavy rains of the winter when 16 inches fell, the croj's would have suffered from want of moisture. The depth of ruin in September by a pleuviometer was only lin. 02 hutidied hof ttn inch. In October, lio. 88. In November, liv. 32, making a total of 4in. 82, a very small propor ion for a country like New Zealand, a' most proverbial for its moisture.
