METEOROLOGICAL TABLE, Kept at Edinburgh, in the Observatory, Caltonhill. N.B. 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 till the end of November, rains and loud winds were frequent. The depth of rain, in little more than two weeks, amounted to something more than three inches. The mean temperature for that period was 39° Fahrenheit. December commenced with frost, which continued, with occasional sprinklings of snow, till the 11th, the mean temperature for these ten days being 32°; lowest range, on the 4th, was 20°. Since the 11th, the temperature has become more elevated; the mer. cury, at ten this forenoon, stands at 50° in the shade. Vegetation has made little progress since our last. Turnips have gained nothing, and a considerable breadth has already been cleared for the feeding-byre. There has been no wheat sown since our last. Fallow wheat looks fresh,-late sown, after pease, comes forward slowly. Plowing was completely at a stand since the beginning of the present month. Plows are now at work, and winter plowing is, for the most part, about over; it is yet too early to commence plowing seed furrow. About the middle of November, it was evident that the ports would remain shut for barley, and the price of that species of grain immediately rose from 3s. to 4s. per boll. Wheat has fluctuated but little since our last; good samples (and there is little bad this season) bring from 30s. to 33s. per boll; barley nearly the same. Oats, notwithstanding the importation, continue to look up in price; good samples bring from 19s. to 20s. 6d. per boll. Potatoes sell briskly at 11s. per weighed boll, of 32 stones Dutch weight. Fat cattle are in request, and bring from 7s. 6d. to 8s per stone, sinking offal ;' lean stock are less in demand at this season, and bring about 6s. per stone. Sheep have sold well for some months past, and are now likely to bring remunerating prices : they have been for some years past a losing concern. The late frost, which was accompanied with deep snow on high hills, has brought down the sheep to their winter pasture. Perthshire, December 13, 1824.
