THE WEATHER
Towards the end of the past week the weather bocomo cold and damp, and it may be presumed the rain will now be pruductiveof uoud results in our paddocks. Eaiu fell on four days, oopioualy through the night of tha 30th, and during the day of 81st. .Total rainfall for the week ia .975 parte of an inch. The rainfall for the past monih is 2.445 inches, being one quarter of what fell for the same month last year here, viz., 9105 inches. The mean barometer reading ia 29.55 inohes. I am somewhat surprised that the barometer has not fluctuated'very much more than it has; ranging from 29,77 inches to 29.33 inohes; knowing as we do that a severe earthquake has taken place in the North of Australia, and at the Sttaitß of Sunda. Perhaps we may notice what effect it will produce this next week. The mean reading for the thermometer ia 48.5 Fah. The wind has been generally light, and principally from the South or South-west. I was pleased to see Captain Edwin's letter in your columns, and shall, in my next communication to you, have a few remarks to make upon his letter.
