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. SHOWERS of sleet and rain were frequent throughout the whole of December. The rain that fell in that and the preceding month amounted to nearly ten inches in depth; but the temperature was mild for the season, the mean for December amounting to somewhat above 40°. On dry lands ploughing met with no obstruction throughout the whole of December; but on wet soils ploughing was impracticable. The present year commenced with frost, and the high grounds were covered with snow. For the first eight days no ploughing could be performed; on the 9th a few were at work; and on the 10th the operation became general. On open lands, most of the oat-seed furrow has been laid over. On low-lying tenaceous soils a considerable breadth of clover ley remains to be turned over. Little dung has hitherto been carted out, by reason of the wetness of the roads, and softness of the land. The mean temperature for the first week in January, was 33 degrees 51 minutes; for the second, 43 degrees 15 minutes; and the depth of rain for both weeks does not exceed four-tenths of an inch. At this term pastures appear more verdant than at last Midsummer. Wheat, in some instances, suffered by the excessive wet state of the soil, followed by the frost at the beginning of the present month, yet, upon the whole, the appearance is still flattering, if we except some fields where the plants appear in a rather forward state. Clover plants still hold out, but, from the wet state of the ground, neither wheat nor clover plants are in good condition to resist the bad effects of Spring frosts. Turnips have improved considerably since Autumn, and are still in a growing state, but may soon begin to run, when they will be less nourishing. A considerable quantity of grain has been threshed out since our last, but prices are no way encouraging. At no former period do we recollect of such an outcry about agricultural distress; in Scotland the evil is felt, and generally acknowledged; but little has hitherto been done in the way of applying for relief; while, in the south, meetings are held, and resolutions are framed, and petitions drawn out to be laid before Parliament, imploring more effectual protection. All this is very well; but when such men as Cobbet act as croupier, and harangue away at any of these meetings, it must detract from their influence and respectability, however well they may be supported in other respects. If farmers require Cobbet for a champion, their case is desperate indeed; his name is enough to ruin their cause with those whose political sentiments would not suffer them to come in contact with one of his celebrity.
