JAllllOlr ..4. , By the Plumper gun-brig, Lieutenant Medley,.which strived at Falmouth on Monday, from Sierra i t oone, we have letters from the Sybille frigate, Commodore C:B. dated November 29. The Sybille was then on tie point ofyroeeeding to the Bight of Benin, in se itch of vessels employed in the slave trade, which were know n to be actively engaged in that cruel ilea. Whit ever can be achieved.by zeal with a view to intercept. thew, u e have the consolation of knowing is insured by the high character for that quality borne by the gallant Commodore. The squadron on the station,• we are, happy to remark, was healthy, the Sybille particularly ao. She had lost only three men during a period f two years; the death of two having been occasioned by ac cidents, and the third arising from fever, communicated . Whilst on beard a prize vessel. Commander Turner, late Lieutenant of the Sybille, who was promoted for his gallantry in the command of the - Bli‘k Joke, ten. der to that frigate, returned to Eng' snd in the Plumper, • with forty pirates, taken out of a vessel captured by him on the cowl., of whose atrocities, it is hoped, evi. tit nee will be adduced sufficiently conclusive so bring them to punishment. Commander Turner has been presented by the Officers of the St bille with a sword of the value of two hunthei guineas, in token of the high estimation in which they held his courageous and active conduct, whilst in command of the tender. This de. setting young officer, during that command, has rescued from :homy upwards of 2,000 of his fellow-creatures.

THE agourrs PAIL Yesterday the Lakes, with which the scenery of this beAutiful Park is diversified, were crowded with an kn. mense number of the Nobility and Gentry of the neigh bourhood, to . witness or enjoy the healthful pleasure of skaiting, the whole surface of the lakes being com pletely and strongly frozen over. The different en trances to the inclosed ground were thrown open to admit respectable people of all classes, with free ingre s s and cress till nearly six o'clock in the evening. THE SERPENTINE RIVER. Yesterday for several hours we had a brilliant sun— this invited every one abroad, and Hyde Park was the resort of old and young—the gay and the valetudi narian. At two P.M. the banks of the river presented a spectacle seldom seen; vast crowds were promenad ing along the shore on the south side, and lines of fa shionable vehicles were moving in the Park. On the ice there could not be less than ten thousand people ; and among them were grouper of fashionable. with their attendant beaux. The skaiters were numerous, but the n►ajnr part were bad performers. There were three circles lor the figure movements on the north side ; and there might be on the whole about a dozen who excelled ; but the only one whom we could dis cover possessing the science of the Old School, was the Honourable Frederick Byng, of the Torrington family. The ice was good where it was swept, and as firm as a rock. ♦ little alarm was occasionally excited among the Ladies by a loud crack, and the water oozing up; this atose•frons injudiciously crowding together on one spot. The effect of. the bridge at Kensington Gardens was very striking, covered as it was with lookers-on— die skaiters passed right through to the other piece . f ' water, and thence they proceeded to the Pal ace. The display of bibesian furs in muffs, tippets, and bosom ' friends. exceeded any thing of the kind we have for many years witnessed. EDINBURGH. JANUAR! 22. TUE DUDDII4OSTON LOCll.—Tlitoller• out the whole of last week the weather was city. though cold, with a clear sky, indicating a considerable ten dency to frost, and the chain of the Pentland% the Lam mermuir ridge, and our nearer neighbour Arthur Spat s have each their summits powdered with snow. 0•8 Sa turday evening frost set in ih good 'tritest, which still continuer very i tense, and. to all appearance bids t•tir. to be of borne duration, affording a pleasant prospect to the lovers of curling and skaiting. Although th ice was any thing but safe, Duddingsmne Loch • n Tues day was tesotted to by considerable numbers, but the ominous" cracks" it gave from time to tune, where two or three were collected together in one spot, gate token to disperse. Two skaiters, by venturing incau tiously on the weaker parts of the ice, were immersed breast-deep by its giving way, hut they were s on ez. trieated, without any farther injury than a go- rion:11- ing. Another night's frost, however, put all to tight % and accordingly yesterday the Loch pre.ented a most interest;ng and animated appearance. The day was fine. with a clear sky, a bidden' sun, and n" wind. There Could not be f wee thin 2,000 individuals on the ice.. f whom the greater proportion were skaiters of all de scriptions. from the as kward novice, floundering along: and swinging his arms and body into every contorti a to preserve an uncertain balance. to the more prawised and dezterons. who fl.•at in graceful circles, and execute the more difficult and scientific evolutions of the art.— Of the latter there w..re indeed bur few, if we except the members of the Skaiting Club who were ow, and attracted very general notice.—Several Curling Clubs were also out, busy 41 their" roaring play," and m my lobonspiel was played. A number or our elegant ansi fashionable fair graced the anlitated• scene with their presence. and to crown tie harmony of the whole, the Bind of the 3d Dragoons 46 discoursed most eloquent , music" : ftorei an elevated situation overlooking the fake. So anxious were the skaiters to make the miot of the ice while it continues, being but an uncertain visitor at best. that numbers of them remained to a pretty late hour, practising their elegant amusement by the light of " Cynthia's pale beam." A number of tents studded the horde's of the Loch, amply supplied with refresh ments of eves; 'description. Tuesday, a yi ung Lady incautiously ventured on the ice at the deep side of Duddingstonr Loch, and fell in at a place which .had been recently broken by some men to get water, and where it was only partially frozen. With great difficulty site was extricated by it man who went to her assist.nte, at the ri k of his life; by the means of ropes they were both got our, and taken to a house in Dmidingstone, where every attention was paid to them. In the after part of the day two skaiters' engaged in a race, went upon a weak portion of the ice, which gave way, when they both tell in, but were got . out without having sustained any greater injury than a thorough wetting. • JAN. 24.-.-During the whole if Thursday and yeses. terday morning the frost continued with unabated in tensity; but during yesterday we had pantie' falls of snow, which, we understand. was more general in the country. • S.) near as Driddingstone Loch and Lochend the snow was so thick as to destroy the sports of skaiting and curling ; and, inconsequence. the number resisting to these scenes were much fewer than on the preceding days, and very few, al er surveying she state of the ice. were at the trouble to buckle on their armour. The! Union Canal is completely frozen. Two Watt; belong s ' ing to Lochrin distillery. with the aid of four horses, made their passage on Tuesday.sinca which the motive tion has been closed. For the last few days immense i quantities of ice have been carted to the.ice houses town different parts of the Canal. •" . SrtaLtrut.—We have been visited with a keen frodt for the last eight days. So intense was the cold an' Wednesday, that the thermometer, in a Gentleman's house near town, stood as low as lfi deg. below the freezing point. Tire Forth is frozen over above the; br idge, and even below it the ice appears in such males as •to prevent the steam boats from proceeding farthit upwards than Alice. • • Gnasnow.The frost continues with unabated keen. net's. This morning she thermometer in Nelson-strew stood at eleven degrees below the freezing point. Na vigation at Port Dundas, and even in the Clyde. is suspended in consequence of the water being frozen. none of the Edinburgh track boats have lett the former place sincoisSaturday.

At half past eleven o'clock rather a small bind was turned down on leer Heath, and with less than ten minutes law the hound. merrily atatted with a good scent through Black Park and Upton Wood, over Weakens Heath and S oke Common nearly to the Park; then turned to the right to Hedgerley furze, through Hedgerley Palk and Beleirode Park, be a hue towards ikaconsbeld, where leaving Wilton Park, close t.e the left, she ran over the hills to the river between Chaltunt St. Peter and Chalfont St. Wes. towards New ' lands; thence to Maple Cross, and crowed the Collie and Canal near the Copper Mills at Harefield, through the Park and over the en towards Moor Park; but, turning rather short to the right, ran over Midget Hill farm on to Ruislip Cure, mitt pasaing. the great reservoir, went away to &stem, and from thence to. wards Stanmore, where she was headed once more, and finally taken at'Hatt ow Weald; where this gallant little animal was seemed wlthout the least injury, at the expiration of three hours. A more satisfactory three hours run I never witnessed. The only drawback from the day. amusement was °weed by the ignorance of a select few, who ought to have known betteer than to press vu the hounds when crossing cold scenting ground, thereby driving them beyond ..coonTn, the scent, and causing a check.
