GENERAL REPORT. THIS month has been dry and calm, and the state of the air mild for the season. Several hoar-frosts, however, appeared in the early part of the mornings, and the thermometer was under 36° on ten different nights, and three times below the freezing point. The mean temperature of the air is 1.33o higher than in last January; and rather more than 23 above the mean of January for seven years past. The mean temperature of spring-water at 8 AM. is 21 higher than in January, 1821. The aggregate of the spaces described by the rising and falling of the mercurial column is unusually small for January, and the pressure of the atmosphere very great, the mean height of the barometer being nearly Naval Academy, Gosport. 7ths of an inch above that of the preced. ing month. The wind having prevailed 23 days between the W. by S. and N. by E. points of the compass this month, the depth of rain, therefore, does not amount to the of an inch, even with a pluviameter placed near the ground; and the evaporation is nearly as much again as in former Januaries. The atmospheric and meteoric phenomena that have come within our observation this month, are 1 parhelion, 3 lunar halos, 3 meteors, 1 rainbow, and 3 gales of wind, or days on which they have prevailed, namely, 1 from SE. and 2 from NE.

A sunny day: a double rainbow at 4 PM. the diameter of the interior bow to the outside of the colours measured 83° 50′-a very bright moonlight, followed by hoar-frost on the leeward side of the house-tops only, the unobstructed current of air to windward having been too humid for its production. 3. AM. overcast with Cirrostratus: PM. rain, and a strong gale from SE. The maximum temperature for the last 24 hours occurred in the night. 4.
