There is still a full share of moisture in the atmosphere but not so much as in the last month, but the air will be cold and winter weather begins to show itself. It appears that the temperature of the air will be low for the whole of the month, and therefore downfal will most likely be more in the form of snow than rain. High tides again at the full moon of this month. D ECLIPSES, &c. In the year 1867 there will be Four Eclipses; two of the sun and two of the moon. The first is an Eclipse of the Sun on March 6th. The following are the times for Hull; Beginning of the Eclipse March 6th.... End of the Eclipse ... .8 h. 15m. 52s. morning. 9 h. 21m. 28s. 10h. 50m. 34s. Magnitude of the Eclipse 9 digits on the Sun's northern limb. The second is a partial Eclipse of the Moon on March the 20th, but in visible iu these parts of the World. The third is a total Eclipse of the Sun on August 29th, but invisible in those parts, being only visible to the south parts of South-America, and through the South Atlantic Ocean. The fourth is a partial eclipse of the Moon on September 13th, and visible in this part of the World. First contact with the Punumbra Sep. 13th..9 h. 41m. 58s. afternoon. First contact with the Dark Shadow 10h. 56m. 4s. .0 h. 24m. 52s. morning .1 h. 53m. 40s. Magnitude of the eclipse 8 digits on the Moon's northern limb. The beautiful planet Venus will be a morning star from January 1st, until September 25th, and then an evening star to the end of the year; but she will be less conspicuous as a morning and evening star this year, then she has been for some time past. Jupiter will be an evening star from January 1st, until February 3rd, then a morning star until August 26th, and then an evening star to the end of the year. The planet Saturn will be in the best situation for observation with the Telescope during thr months of April, May, and June. The ring of Saturn is now opening very fast, and although the planet is n low signs, he will be a very beautiful object for the telescope, in those places where the observer can have a clear horizon. The planet Jupiter will be in the best situation for observation in July, August, and September, but even in those months he will not be very well seen, on account of being in very low signs. The planet Mars will be a very conspicuous object for the telescope at the early part of the year. The planet Venus will not be well situated for observation during the whole of this year.

HERSCHELL'S WEATHER TABLE, Improved and illustrated 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 canses, 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.
