On the 10th the maximum and minimum were 71 and 55, after which the temperature suffered a depression of several degrees, the maximum seldom reaching 66, and the minimum being frequently two or three degrees below 50. On the 30th, the extremes were 714 and 504, and on the 31st 71 and 60. The average of the month is about 14 degree lower than July 1819, and half a degree below the mean of the last four years. The fluctuations of the Barometer have been unusually small. During the first 17 days of the month, the weather was exceedingly dry. On the 18th there fell upwards of an inch of rain, and the remainder of the month was showery. The average of Leslie's Hygrometer is considerably above the mean of July for several years, and the absolute and relative humidities are both less. The point of deposition is fully a degree below the mean minimum temperature, in consequence of the prevalence of east, and north-east winds, during the first fortnight of the month. The mean of the daily extreme temperatures coincides exactly with the mean of 10 o'clock morning and evening.
