THE WEATHER. Although the quantity of moisture in the atmosphere at the beginning of December is very considerable, we do not look for a very low temperature or severe weather. After the 17th day the air will get a little dryer and sharper, but we do not expect very cold weather until the extreme end of the month. High tides at the new moon of this month, particularly if at the time the wind is from the west or north-west.

DR. HERSCHELL'S WEATHER TABLE, Improved and Fllustrated by the Rev. Dr. Adam Clarke, the celebrated Wesleyan Preacher.

The Table and the accompanying remarks, are the result of many years' actual observation; the whole being constructed on a due consideration of the attraction of the Sun and Moon in their several positions respecting the Earth; and will by simple inspection, show the observer what kind of Weather will most probably follow the entrance of the Moon into any of her quarters, so that so near the truth as to be seldom or never found to fail.

1. The nearer the time of the Moon's Change, First Quarter, Full, and Last Quarter, is to MIDNIGHT, the fairer will the Weather be during the seven following days.

2. The space for this calculation occupies from ten at night till two next morning.

3. The nearer to MIDDAY, or NOON, these Phases of the Moon happen, the more foul or wet the weather may be expected during the seven following days.

4. The space for this calculation occupies from ten in the forenoon till two in the afternoon. These observations refer principally to Summer, though they affect Spring and Autumn nearly the same.

5. The Moon's Change, First Quarter, Full, and Last Quarter, happening during six of the afternoon hours, i. e. frem tour to ten, may be followed by fair weather; but this is mostly dependent on the WIND, as noted in the Table. 6. Though the Weather, from a variety of irregular causes, is more uncertain in the latter part of Autumn, the whole of Winter, and the beginning of Spring; yet in the main, the above observations will apply to those periods also.

That the Moon's age being observed in the first Column you find the time of high water at all the places at ove-mentioned in the respective Column of Numbers immediately below them.-Thus, when the Moon is One or Sixteen Days old, it is high water at Aberdeen, Chatham, Gravesend, &c. at 45 minutes past 1 o'clock And so of the rest. The time is usually correct within half an hour.
