Kept at Edmonton. Latitude 51° 37′ 32′′ N. Longitude 3′51′′ West of Greenwich. The mode of keeping these registries is as follows:-At Edmonton the warmth of the day is observed by means of a thermometer exposed to the north in the shade, standing about four feet above the surface of the ground. The extreme cold of the night is ascertained by a horizontal self-registering thermometer in a similar situation. The daily range of the barometer and thermometer is known from observations made at intervals of four hours each, from eight in the morning till the same time in the evening. The weather and the direction of the wind are the result of the most frequent observations. The rain is measured every morning at eight o'clock.

CHARLES HENRY ADAMS.

THE COMMERCIAL RELATIONS OF THE COUNTRY. Little has occurred since our last report to enliven the character of the present, little improvement having taken place in the manufacturing districts; nor has the colonial market experienced any material alteration.

MONEY MARKET.-The feverish state of affairs in Spain has, of course, given rise to speculations, but not, we believe, to any extent. More recent events, indicating a crisis in that country, may be expected to affect the Spanish Stock market. The English Funds have felt the effect of the unsatisfactory state of affairs in Ireland, as well as of the general depression of commerce.
