METEOROLOGICAL REPORT.

In our Meteorological Report for the first three months of this year, we gave the results of our observations, without any comparison between the last and the present year. It may not however be uninteresting to our readers to state, that the mean temperature of the four months of this year that have just elapsed, considerably exceeds the mean temperature of the corresponding months of last year. The difference of the month of January is 5o, February 6, March 30, and April 4°. The effects of this difference are quite obvious in the unusually forward state of vegetation in gardens and orchards, and would have been equally conspicuous in the corn-fields, but for the severe and long-continued drought.

As a gentleman and a scholar, a sincere friend and a social companion, Dr Hogan had not a superior. But to describe him solely by these qualities would fall far short of his merits. Dr Hogan had not been many months in the possession of a situation from which he looked forward to honour and emolument, when he was seized with a fever (the effect of the climate), which in a few days put a period to his life. He was a native of the county of Limerick, in Ireland. Lately, in Vernon Place, London, Charles Combe, M.D. F.R.S. aged 73. -Lately, at Kensington, the Rev.

He obtained the vicarage of Earlsham, with Bowthorpe annexed; and in 1796 the rectory of Allhallows. He was for many years assistant librarian of the British Museum, and highly respectable as a scholar. As an author, he was chiefly known as a compiler; and in association with the Rev. Robert Nares, the Rev. William Tooke, and the late Mr Morrison, he prepared for the press an edition of the " Biographical Dictionary," in 15 vols Svo, and was, with the Rev. Robert Nares, a principal conductor of the "British Critic." Amongst his separate publications

At Gatcomb House, near Portsmouth, Lady Curtis, relict of Sir Roger Curtis, Bart.— At Mauldslie Castle, the Right Honourable the Earl of Hyndford. His private character was highly estimable. Few noblemen have been so much beloved. The greater part of his time was devoted to agricultural pursuits at Westraw, and to the embellishment of his princely seat at Mauldslie. He was one of the most skilful farmers in a district particularly distinguished for the excellence of its farming. Mauldslie, his patrimonial inheritance, is now separated from the Hyndford estate. It has fallen to his Lordship's sister, Mrs Nisbet of Carphin. Sir John Anstruther, Bart. succeeds to the entailed estate. The title is extinct.-14. At Maybole, Samuel Wheatley, aged 97, who at that advanced age retained all his faculties to the last.-Mr Owen O'Toole of Pepperland, county of Wicklow, at the advanced age of 105 years.

This gallant officer served several campaigns in the Peninsula, under the Duke of Wellington, with great credit and distinction; and lastly, at the memorable battle of Waterloo, where he commanded a brigade of infantry. -23.
