Who would ever have supposed, writes Mr Ford, that we should have had such a change in the weather, from the most pleasant spring weather in the early part of the week, to the disagreeable wot weather in tho latter part of it, On Monday afternoon the baromotor began a rapid downward movement, and about a quarter to four, a strong galo set in from tho South West, bringing along with it a storm of duat, so dense that for a short period, you could not see a yard m length before yourself. In its approach it "tomined mo of tho squalls which sailors exporience when near tho equator, with the difference of water iu place of dust and what to me was more remarkable, the barometer rose as rapidly as it had fallen, during the period the dust ivas in the aismosphere. After this the weaker was fiine until Wednesday night, when a strong electric current passed over this neighbourhood, a processor of the stormy wet weather, we have had since that time. Heavy rain and strong wind set in from the West, and South West, produoing a rain fall on Thursday morning of 1.150 inch , and on Friday morning another record of 1.380 inch, being a total of 2.530 inches for two days. The barometer tonight (Friday) is very low, but' has commenced an upward movement, and if eontinued through the night we may have a. fine day to celebrate the Prince of Wales Birthday. The ixoan reading f..r the week, is 29.41 inches, and for the thermometer it is 56.5 Eah.
