ON approieh of the COMMENCEMENT of JANUARY, all those who may have 1 o write to us before that time, are requested to do so without delay, and to be particular in directing, HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURGH, and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus 101., 20/., or 301., for instance, if remitted in One hank of Eng land Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham burgh, to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England, surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may rather he made in Bills of Exchange, on London. We request not to overlook these particulars. lIEINE BROTHERS in HAMBURGI!. P.S. To persons having to remit 81., on receiving a Ten Pound Note, we return Two Pound in the cheapest way possible.

A • :Mr, ,7s • • Tm: ,`"`' Z-1; Zthe )1:' LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 28, 1836, The vaunted victory of the Conservatives of Glas gow begins now to look not much unlike a defeat ; for though they have been able to raise Sir ROBERT PEEL to the dignity of Lord Rector, yet they have failed in their efforts to obtain for him the freedom of the city ; so that his triumph is, to say the best of it, but half a triumph—a great-cry-and-little-wcol sort o afFair, inexpressibly ludicrous to those who know the great pains that have been taken to represent it as a total overthrow of the Reform party in Glasgow. It seems that at a recent meeting of the Town Coun cil, on a proposition having been made to present the Baronet with the freedom of the city, a gentleman named DOUGLA S moved an amendment to the effect, that " this Reformed Council, who owe their seats to that Reform which was opposed by the party of which Sir R. PEEL was the leader, cannot, without stultifying themselves, offer him a vote of approbation." This amendment, on being put to the vote, was carried by a majority that will, we fear, occasion many long faces among the Glasgow Conser vatives, who, it is, evident, had anticipated a far dif ferent result. As these gentry, however, are never at a loss to give a plausible reason for any political disap pointment they may experience, they will, of course, attribute the shame of their defeat to the snow storm. Had it not been for the very cavalier be haviour of this tempest, they will tell us, the supporters of Sir ROBERT PEEL would have far out-numbered his opponents ; but just as a party of the former were on their road to give a vote in his favour, they were caught by the storm, which fairly snowed them up, and prevented them reaching the place of destination until it was too late for them to be of any use. There is more virtue in a snow-storm than the majority of people imagine. It is a rank democrat in politics, for, as may have been observed, it invariably confines its power of annoyance to Conservatives. When Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Ministry, for instance, was out voted in the House of Commons last February twelvemonths, it was entirely owing (as the Standard assured us) to a plaguy snow-storm, which:snowed up all the Tory Members who were hurrying to London, and let the Reformers go free, without inconveniencing them by a single flake. In like manner this same one sided tempest has intercepted the Glasgow Bailies on their way to the Town Council—so at least the local Tory journals will make a point of assuring their readers, by way of reconciling them to their severe dis appointment. Considering the period at which this disappointment has occurred, we know not that the Tory faction in Glasgow have ever received a more mortifying one. It has come on them like a cold, withering blight, just at the moment when they were raising shouts of exultation, and bidding the people look to the re-action that had taken place in the me tropolis of the west of Scotland. Though Sir RO BERT be Lord Rector of the University, and a man of high rank and influence in the political community, yet a majority of the Town-councillors of Glasgow feel that they cannot offer him a vote of approbation " with out stultifying themselves." They have no objection to pay him a compliment as a gentleman of accomplished mind and of high moral worth, but as a politician TIIE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1836• they will have none of him. In this capacity they utterly repudiate him. Such being the just and fitting distinction which the influential Glasgow citizens make between the man and the statesman, where, let us ask, is Sir ROBERT PEEL'S triumph ? It is as a politi cian that his party recognize his chief claims to public applause, and yet it is as a politician that the Glasgow Town-Council refuse to acknowledge him I Here is re-action with a vengeance I A few more such proofs, and where will be the Tory faction ? We predict that the dinner on the 18th of next month will be a very shy, spiritless affair—the more so, that it has been announced with such a pre posterous flourish of Tory drums and trumpets. It may possibly be well enough attended in point in numbers, for the very word " dinner" has a magic in it that the loaves and fishes-hungering Tories have seldom been able to resist ; but there will be no show of energy—no sincere rejoicings—for the recollection of the Town Council decision will be sure to act as a damper on the spirits of the whole assembled company. The last published number of the Portfolio prefers, in its correspondence from Athens, a serious charge against Sir EDMUND LYONS our Ambassador at the Court of Greece. Without authentication we cannot, in justice to the reputation of a gentleman holding the high rank of representative of our SOVEREIGN, insert this charge in our columns ; but we should be wanting in our duty to the public, to the Government, and in re spect for the character of our Ambassadors, did we omit all reference to an affair which promptly de mands speedy elucidation. We beg it to be distintly understood that we offer no opinion upon the subject ; and that we should be sorry to learn that our remarks tended in any way to lower the character of Sir ED MUND LYONS in the estimation of the humblest indi- vidual in this or any other country. In substance, then, the writer in the Portfolio• whose letter of the Ist of November, 1836, is dated from Athens—charges Sir EDMUND LYONS with having entered into a conspiracy with Count D'AR MANSPERG and his faction, to ruin the character and destroy the political influence of JOHN COLETTI, Envoy Extraordinary of Greece at the Court of France, " one of the most respectable and esteemed citizens of Greece," and one of the most ardent sup- porters of British influence in his native country ; that to effect this object,' Sir EDMUND LYONS caused it to be reported in Greece, that Lord GRANVILLE, the British Ambassador at Paris, had informed him that JOHN COLETTI had laid before the French Govern ment a memoir against the Government of Greece. The writer adds, that on being applied to with respect to this charge, Lord GRANVILLE denied having ever made such a communication to Sir EDMUND LYONS with respect to JOHN COLETTI, and that his Lord ship never heard of the presentation of such memoir. Again : That during the disturbances of Acarnania, Sir EDMUND LYONS ordered an English ship of war to sail to the Gulf of Patras, to co-operate with the Royal forces against the insurgents ; at the same time giving the commander of the vessel a draft of a letter, to be addressed to himself (Sir E. LYONS), from the seat of the insurrection, in which letter COLETTI was accused of being the fomenter of the insurrection. And lastly : That Sir EDMUND LYONS, with the concurrence of Mr. GRIFFITHS, his Excellency's at tach 6, wrote to the Government here, representing JOHN COLETTI as having forfeited the good opinion of his countrymen—of being the tool of Russia, —and a variety of other charges, all untrue, but which have had the effect of wounding the reputation of COLETTI in the most cruel and undeserved manner. The writer further asserts, that the injury of which COLETTI complains is unmitigated by the shadow of a political advantage—Sir EDMUND LYONS through out this strange and complicated affair, acting in total ignorance of the designs of those who secretly impelled him to effect the ruin of COLETTI. Such, in substance, is the charge preferred by the Portfolio against our ambassador at the Court of Greece. To pass it over in silence is a course which no sincere friend of Sir EDMUND LYONS will think of recommending. A legal prosecution would serve no purpose, save to confirm the doubtful in a convic tion that the charge itself was not wholly groundless. The public has a right to a full explanation of this affair, from the pen of Sir EDMUND LYONS—to a solemn refutation of the whole charge, article by article. The dignity of the KING, and the honour of the nation, arc involved in the alleged persecution of JOHN CO LETTI ; and it is imperatively necessary that no mis conception should exist as to the immaculateness of both. The Noble Foreign Secretary, Lord PAL MERSTON, will doubtless consider it his duty to com municate without delay the substance of the charge preferred in the Portfolio against our Ambassador to Sir EDMUND LYONS, with a view to a complete in vestigation.

The tide rose very high yesterday and Sunday, chiefly occasioned by a strong North Easterly wind blow ing up the Thames. A lady complaining that she was near thirty, a person who knew that she was older replied, " Madam, every day removes you farther f ro m the complaint." On Monday morning last, pursuant to annual cus tom, the rector of St. Martin's-in-the-fields delivered, by command of the Duke of Cumberland, the sum of 2s. Gd. each to 800 poor persons of that parish. We are happy to hear the snow is no impediment whatever to travelling on the Greenwich railroad, on which the trains start, as usual, every quarter of an hour, from eight in the morning till eight in the evening. The contest at Oldham still continues ; Messrs. Ogden and Haworth's hands refusing to abandon their de mand of an advance of Gd. per thousand hanks. Hitherto no unusual disturbance has occurred, and the town is as peaceful and orderly as if all the factory population were well and fully employed. The number of hands at a stand is about 4,000, taking the spinners at 400, piecers 1,000, card, frame, &c., 1,300, power-loom weavers I,3oo.—Man ckester Guardian.

It seems that we are not to expect the Russian Am bassador, Von Tatischeff, to return to Vienna before the end of next summer, as the Emperor intends that he shall accompany him on his journey to the southern provinces of the empire, which was prevented this year by his accident. The Russian Legation here, for which the magnificent Palace of Prince Lichtenstein, in the Lowelstrasse, has been hired for many years past, will now be obliged to re move, as the reignino . Prince of Lichtenstein means to oc occupy it himself, and will give up to the Russian Legation his Palace in the Herrengasse, which he has hitherto inha bited himself. The other Palace is to be fitted up in the most splendid manner for the Prince.

The French Ambassador and Madame Sebastiani, who were expected to leave Manchester House to-morrow for Paris, have, it is understood, been obliged to postpone, their departure, in consequence of the difficulty of travelling arising from the heavy fall of snow. The Marquis and Marchioness of Sligo will resume the occupancy of their mansion in Mansfield-street next season. It was tenanted by her Highness the Princess de Beira and the sons of Don Carlos, during their sojourn in this country. The Duke of Roxburgh is expected to lead to the hymeneal altar to-morrow at St. George's church, the lovely Miss Dalbiac. Fleurs Castle, near Kelso, the pa trimonial seat of his Grace, is in a state of preparation to receive the young Duke and his bride. Lord Weymouth, eldest son of the Marquis of Bath, who married some years ago in opposition to the wishes of his family, is travelling with his Lady on the Continent, and intends to make a long sojourn abroad. Lord Henry Thynne, who married a daughter of Lord Ashburton, is next in succession to the Marquisate, Lord Weymouth not having any issue. Lord Henry has re cently had a fine estate, called Holywell, in Hants, pre sented to him by Lord Ashburton. The Marquis of Granby, for whom such splendid festivities are preparing at Bclvoir Castle, was of age in May last, but the celebration of the event was postponed until January. His Noble Father is one of the oldest Militia Colonels, and served with the regiment in Ireland during the Great Rebellion there, and again in 1812. Ever since the close of the war, the fine band of the re giment has been kept on full pay by the Duke, and at the training in 1831 for expected service in Ireland, this corps was considered at head-quarters as highly effective, having nearly its full complement of officers and men. The Duke of Rutland is said to be much attached to his regiment, and always ready to serve his officers when in his power. The Earl of Stamford and Warrington is displaying old English hospitality, at Enville Hall, in Staffordshire and Durham Park, Cheshire. By the demise of the No ble Earl's eldest son, Lord Grey, of Gorby, in the prime of manhood, his Lordship's grandson, now in his 10th year, succeeds to the Peerage of Grey of Groby. Earl Harewood's seat, Harewood Hall, Northaller ton, is displaying the usual old English hospitality, which will be continued for the ensuing fortnight. The Hon. Henry and Lady Louisa Lascelles, the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lascelles, and Lady Frances Hope and other branches of the family are assembled at his Lordship's hos pitable seat. Lord Nugent arrived in Chandos-street, yesterday, from Brighton, where his Lordship went to have an audience of his Majesty. In most parts of the East a delicate hand is so highly esteemed, that even slave-dealers take it as an infallible cri terion of the station of their prisoners, and allot their labour or affix their ransom by it. Mr. Edwin Forrest made his first appearance at Liverpool last Monday. Mr. Locke, the engineer, has given it as his opinion, that the Lancaster auePreston railway, now in project, will be finished at the least cost of any in the kingdom. On Thursday evening upwards of 140 gentlemen entertained Mr. Adam, the Editor of the Aberdeen Herald, to a public dinner in the assembly-rooms. Several burgesses of Sunderland have signed a re quisition addressed to the Mayor, " to call a public meet ing of the burgesses to take into consideration the present state of the Corporation, and the propriety of adopting such measures as will support it." A boy, named Dallets, whose parents reside in James'-street, Bedford-row, had one of his eyes knocked out yesterday morning by' a snowball, which was thrown at him by some boys in Gordon-square. The ancient rank of " Captain-Lieutenant," Royal Marines, becomes totally extinct by the death of Captain- Lieutenant Sims. A correspondent, who has not chosen to give either his name or his authority, states that " Mehemet Ali has, within the last four years, evinced tite most generous dis position towards the Jews and Christians who are subject to his sway, and who were previously exposed to the rapa city of some local authorities in Syria, Palestine, and Egypt." The English house of Bell and Anderson, at Bucharest, has stopped payment.—Hamburgh paprr. The tenantry of the Most Noble the Marquis of Huntly in the Braes of Cromar, were last week entertained and gratified by the kindness and condescension of their Noble Proprietor.

COFFEE.—It is astonishing what effect the smallest portion of the strong coffee made by the Arabs has ; no greater stimulus is required in the longest and most arduous journeys. It is universal throughout the East, but more used by the Arabs of the desert than by any other class ; they will go without food for twenty-four hours if they can but have recourse to the little dram of coffee, which, from the small compass in which they carry the apparatus, and the readiness with which it is made, they can always com mand. I can vouch for both its strengthening and exhila rating effect ; it answers these purposes better than I can conceive it possible a drain of spirits could do to those who indulge in them.—Captain Skinner. SCARAMUCCIA.—We went this morning to the rehearsal of this excellent opera. The music, it is needless to say, is very fine, and the orchestra, we may add, did Rieci's music ample justice ; whilst Blasis, that sweetest and most powerful of cantatrices, left us nothing to desire by the surpassing excellence of the manner in which she sang. Catone, Terri, Ruggiero, and Ronconi, fully supported the reputation they have obtained. We antici pate that this new opera will be eminently successful. At the Lyceum only can those who have a taste for the pure pleasures of music be fully gratified. On Saturday evening last, a little after 11 o'clock, the landlady of a public house, in Narrow Flag-lane, Sun derland, went out to purchase some marketing, leaving the care of the house to her husband, during her tem porary absence. Immediately after her departure three men entered the house and demanded a quart of ale. The landlord rafused, on the ground of the lateness of the hour. The miscreants, indignant at the refusal, extin guishedta attack u him. lights, at In the scuffle that ensued, one of them actually bit a large portion of flesh off one of his eye brows.—Sunderland Herald. The failure of a long-established foreign house has this day been announced. The debts amount to upwards of 50,0001. A calico-establishment has also given way.— Glasgow Chronicle of Friday.

We have received the Gibraltar Chronicles to the 18th December, and Malta papers to the 23d November. The Cadiz Diaries contain no later accounts of the road on which Gomez is moving, than those we have given from the Madrid papers. By the Malta papers we learn that Sir Henry F. Bou veric, the new Governor, hal arrived there, and had been sworn into office with the usual formalities. Our arrivals this morning are one Hamburg mail ; and the Dublin, Waterford, Donaghadce, and Weymouth mails. No ship letters. The mails due are four French, one Ostend, and one Holland. We likewise learn that 33 inland mails remained due at 11 o'clock this morning. THE FUNDS.

HALF-PAST ONE. Very little doing in the city, either in mercantile tran sactions or speculations in the funds, to the present hour, owing to the non-arrival of the foreign and inland mails. We hear that, up to twelve o'clock, thirty were still due. This event causes very great inconvenience to the mercan tile community, particularly to those who have bills to pay, and for which they expected remittances.

While a philosophical lecturer was yesterday even ing describing the nature of gas, a lady inquired of a gen tleman what he meant by oxy-gin and hydro-gin, or what was the difference ? "My dear Madam," said he, " by oxy-gin we mean pure gin, and by hydro-gin we mean gin and water." Yesterday morning, between 8 and 9 o'clock, the body of a respectable middle-aged man was discovered, at the receding of the tide, lying in the mud near All Hallows Stairs. Immediately that the body was discovered it was conveyed to the workhouse, where it now lies to be owned. The deceased was attired in a fustian-jacket, grey cloth trousers, white stockings, and allele shoes. His linen was not marked. DUBLlN.—Thursday morning, about half-past four, the inhabitants of Old Dominick-street, were thrown into great alarm by the cries of " Fire," proceeding from the house of Mrs. Fleming, No. 52, in the above street. The flames spread with such rapidity that the inmates with great difficulty escaped ; and we regret to add that the lady has been so seriously injured that her life is despaired of. She was unable to escape down stairs, and in the confusion she threw herself into the yard from the second floor, from whence she was extricated by Mr. Gorman, solicitor, who occupies the adjoining house. The fire is said to have ori ginated in the neglect of a servant who was attending a child which had been indisposed. The house was burned to the ground, and not a vestige of property saved. The adjoin ing houses were also injured. The Lord Mayor was present, also the police, and by their exertions, with the assistance of the military, and the aid they received in working the engines, the flames were extinguished about nine. BROTHER JONATHAN'S NEW APPLICATION OF STEAM POWER.—If I was 'listed for a Charley they'd soon find out to holler the hour and ketch the thieves by steam ; aye, and they'd take 'em to jail by a railroad, and try 'em with biling water. They'll soon have black loco motives for watchmen and constables, and big bilers for judges and mayors. Pigs will be ketch'd by steam next, and biled fit for eating afore they'm done squeaking. By and-bye folks won't be of no use at all. There won't be no people in the world but tea-kettles—no mouths but safety-valves—and no talking but blowing off of steam. If I had a little biler inside of me I'd turn omnibus ; and week days I'd run from Kensington to the Navy Yard, and Sundays I'd run to Fairmont. THE SNOW STORM. The severity of the weather still continues, with every ap pearance of a much heavier fall of snow. The storm, though everywhere heavy, seemed to have been rather heavier to the south of the metropolis than in the other directions, and has laid a complete embargo on all news from abroad, and on almost all from the interior. Never before, within our recollection, was the London mail stopped for a whole night at a few miles from London ; and never before have we seen the intercourse between the Southern shires of Eng land and the metropolis interrupted for three whole days. The guards represent the night as one of the severest they ever experienced, and bring reports, which we trust are ex aggerated, of great loss of property, and, in some instances, o One of the Wisbeach coaches, which left town on Mon day evening, was unable to proceed further on its journey than Wade's-mill, 23 miles from London ; and yesterday morning it returned to the Swan-with-two-Necks, the coach man being convinced that it would be impracticable to at tempt to proceed further downwards. The proprietors of the Swan-with-Two-Necks, Lad-lane, and the other large coach-offices, have determined not to allow any more coaches to leave for the country until intelli gence is received as to the state of the roads, a determina tion which is considered very prudent and necessary. It is impossible to convey even a slight idea of the anxiety dis played for the safety of those who are known to be on the road ; the inconvenience in commercial transactions is great indeed, and, should the severity of the weather continue much longer, it is apprehended in some cases it will prove ruinous to individuals. The Brighton up-mail of Sunday had travelled about eight miles from that town, when it fell into a drift of snow, from which it was impossible to extricate it without further assistance. After much difficulty, the coach had been found, but could not be extricated from the hollow into which it had got. The guard did not reach town till 7 o'clock last night, having been obliged to travel with the bags on horseback, and in many instances to leave the main road and proceed across fields in order to avoid the deep drifts of snow. The passengers, coachman, and guard slept at Clayton, seven miles from Brighton. The road below Handcross was quite impassable. The non-arrival of the mail at Crawley induced the postmaster there to send a man in a gig to ascertain the cause on Monday afternoon. No tidings being heard of man, gig. or horse, for several hours, another man was dis patched on horseback, and after a long search, he found the horse and gig completely built up in the snow. The man was in an exhausted state. After considerable diffi culty the horse and gig were extricated and the party re turned to Crawley. The man had learned no tidings of the mail, and refused to go out again on any such exploring mission. BRIGHTON, MONDAY, DEC. 26, One o'Clock, P.M. All this part of the country is at the present momen buried in snow. We were visited with a heavy fall early on Saturday morning, and it continued falling at intervals throughout the day ;it was renewed with increased vio lence on Saturday night, and has been coming down with out intermission ever since, accompanied by a cold and very strong wind from the north. A stable-man was picked up in Black Lion-street last night by the police, frozen to death ; another, an old man named Freeman, dropped dead in the street this morning from sheer cold. The Times coach, which leaves London at four o'clock, and generally arrives here a little before nine, did not get in till twenty minutes past eleven, being for the last fifteen miles of the journey clogged up by the snow. The Gloucester mail, which ought to have been in by five o'clock yesterday af ternoon, was obliged to stop on the road, and the guard and coachmen reached this town only at one o'clock this morning, having brought the bags in a cart along the beach ; they were, however, so affected by the cold, that the guard now lies, it is feared, in a dying state. The mail started, as usual, for London last night, but had not got three miles before it was obliged to return. A King's messenger, who had im portant dispatches with him, attempted, with the assist ance of a guide, to travel on horseback, but could not get on. The messenger is now about to start again in a post chaise, and the mail-bags will go with him, but no passen gers. Not a coach besides has left this town or come into it to-day, and none arc expected to start for a week ; bu siness of every sort is suspended, as the roads are impas sable, the snow being in some places five and six feet deep. A meeting of the parochial authorities will be held this af ternoon, and a town meeting to-morrow, to take measures for the assistance and comfort of the poor. (FURTHER PARTICULARS.) The continuance of the storm, with its accompaniment of a stiff northern breeze, has generally suspended all in tercourse between the metropolis and the provinces. Scarcely a stage-coach left London either yesterday or the day before, and the arrivals from the country have been as few. The Regulator Bristol coach, which ought to have been in on Monday evening, had not arrived, or been heard of, last night. The Manchester down mail reached St. Alban's, and getting off the road into the hollow, was upset. The guard returned to London yesterday in a post-chaise and four horses with the bags and passengers. Between Slough and Maidenhead the roads are reported to be most dreadful, and a great number of malls and coaches remain weather-bound between those places. The Liverpool coach, from the Swan with Two Necks, started on Monday night, but turned back. At two o'clock yesterday afternoon a post-chaise and four arrived at Lad lane with some travellers, who had left Northampton by that, the only means of conveyance, at four o'clock on Mon day morning. The north road is declared to be excessively heavy, par ticularly about Barnet, St. Alban's, Chalk-hill, and Mims. The few of the guards and coachmen who have reached London state, that it is not the quantity of snow fallen which creates the difficulty so much as the strong wind which drives all the snow from the high lands into the hol lows. A sharp frost would make the roads more passable ; for at present the snow is so shifting and unattached, that as soon as a passage is cut through, it is driven back , and the road in a few hours becomes as much choked as at first. The following notices were yesterday evening exhibited at the General Post-office : " All the mails will be despatched to-night-5 p.m. " All letters which arrive by the late mails will be deli vered by the Twopenny Post.-3i p.m." Instead of all, only five mails left at half-past eight o'clock at night, viz., the Holyhead and the Halifax, each drawn by four horses, with a post-boy to each pair ; the Edinburgh with six horses, a postilion on the foremost pair ; the Brighton with two pair of horses, being a pair more than usual ; and the Bristol. The Dover was to leave at mid night, with the foreign mails. Most of the horses harnessed on this occasion were unused to coach work, and hence post-boys were employed. It was so doubtful whether any of the mails would start that at the principal coach inns the proprietors refused to book passengers. The mails that left last night carry bags for the absent mails on the same main line of road. The following mail-bags had been received by five o'clock last night : " Ryde, Hopley, Cobham, Esher, Kingston, Petworth, Midhurst, Gosport, Emsworth, Portsmouth, Swansea, Chichester, Dorking, Arundel, Petersfield, Haslemere, Liphook, Godalming, Guildford Leatherhead, Epsom, Waltham Cross, Royston, Hoddesdon, Ware, St. Ive's, Wisbeach, March, Chatteris, Rochester, Gravesend, Maidstone, Dartford, Chathem, Godston, Croydon, Craw ley, East Grinstead, Horsham, Reigate, Footscray, Farn ham, Bagshot, Windsor, Alton, Ringwood, Willingham, Staines, Bracknell, Stockbridge, Christchurch, Romsey, Lymington, Winchester, Wimbourne, Lyndhurst, Bishop's Waltham, Alresford, Farnham, Pool, Wareham, New port, with letters of Isle of Wight of Monday, Isle of Wight with letters of same date, Harwich, Manningtree, Brentwood, Billericay, Rochford, Ipswich, Ongar, Kel vedon, Witham, Ingatestone, Romford, Colchester, Mal don, Chelmsford, Hadleigh, Cambridge, Downham, Wells, Ely, Buntingford, Bromley, Stowmarket, Colnbrook, Mar low, Hounslow, Henley, Barnet, Bishop Stortford, Har low, and Epping." The Birmingham, via Banbury, bags of Monday were got in by half-past 11 o'clock on Monday night. The mail-coach had been left seventy miles from London, and the guard had brought the bags the distance on horseback. He rode one horse himself, ha a led horse with the Lon don bags on it, and two other horses with the small bags upon them. The two horses with the small bags were ridden the latter part of the distance by postboys, but the horse with the London bag was throughout led by the guard. They were constantly deviating from the road, and nothing but a general knowledge of localities, with good nerve, enabled the guard to accomplish the journey. The guard, on reaching London, was in a most distressing state of exhaustion. Hedges, gates, and ditches, had been cleared in many instances. The bags of the Manchester and Halifax mails of Mon day were brought up late the night of the morning they became due in post-chaises, the mails being left on the road. The Monday's Manchester mail-coach arrived yesterday afternoon. It was dragged out of a drift at Chalk-hill by eight horses, the fore part giving way. Cooper's Bristol coach arrived yesterday at noon, instead of at half-past seven o'clock a. m. The Brighton mail, a pair-horse mail, left town last night with four horses ; the Edinburgh with six horses, and the Holyhead and Halifax mails were drawn by four horses, with postilions. The day mail from Falmouth arrived a little before nine at night. The Dover was to leave at midnight with the foreign mails. The Edinburgh mail of Monday arrived about nine o'clock last night. The Devonport and Old Eset.,r came in within half an hour afterwards. The town of St. Alban's is completely full of mails and coaches, which can neither get up nor down. • --- -- - The Portsmouth Regulator on Monday got buried at Horndean-hill in a snow drift, and so continued for three hours and twenty minutes, when by the assistance of nume rous labourers and extra horses the coach was released. The Louth and Boston mail-bags of Monday were brought up by the guard between six and seven o'clock on Monday night. The guard states that the bags came to him at Boston in a postcbaise, and the report was, that the mail-coach, seven miles from Louth, had got off the road, and went over into a gravel-pit. A horse was said to be killed by the accident, and the guard severely bruised. The bags were brought up the whole of the distance from Bos ton by a postchaise and four, and to effect this it was found necessary to take cross-roads, and between Puckeridge and Hertford to pass into the Ware road. The Foreign mail -cart, sent out on Monday night, got no further than Rochester, and then returned. It bad previ ously got fixed several times, and was successively dug out. The guard of the Boston mail states, that going down on Sunday night, the roads were frightful. Between Cax ton and Huntingdon the mail was stuck fast, and the pas sengers in and out, seven in number, alighted, and lent their assistance behind till the coach had got out of the difficulty. From Marlborough Forest to Devizes the roads are dreadful, and the hollows have from 12 to 16 feet depth of snow. The Lynn and Wells bags of Monday arrived yesterday afternoon. The guard had left the mail-coach at Mel bourne, and from thence came to Ware, with the bags, on horseback. From Ware to London he came in a post chaise and four. He passed the Edinburgh mail at Bun tingford, at half-past 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning, that mail being unable to travel further from the great weight of the mail bags. Late last night it was reported that the guard of the Brighton mail of Monday night, out, had been found dead on his seat. The guard of the Exeter old mail of Monday came in about 9 o'clock last night. He brought the bags of the Exeter by the Yeovil mail, the transfer having taken place at Salisbury. The mail coach got fixed 16 miles on the other side of Dorchester. From Dorchester the guard travelled in a post-chaise and lost only 40 minutes of his time. At one place the agent of the contractor refused to put fresh horses to the carriage, and the guard was com pelled to get them from another inn, and pay the money in advance before the mail could proceed. The Leeds, the Liverpool, and the Exeter, by Yeovil, which were due at 6 o'clock on Monday night, had not ar rived at past midnight last night. The Yarmouth mail, which was due on Monday evening, did not reach London till past 11 o'clock last night. We have received by it the following letter from a correspondent at Ipswich : " Ipswich, Monday Night, Dec. 26. " On Friday night we had a light fall of snow, and in the morning the country was covered with it ; the wind had blown from the north and north-east. On Saturday morn ing it went round to the west, and during the day a rapid thaw took place ; about five o'clock the wind again changed to the north and north-east, which set in with a sharp frost ; this continued during the night, and was again ac companied by another light fall of snow, which ceased be fore the morning, the frost still continuing, produced ice an inch thick. During the whole of Sunday (Christmas -day) the wind continued in the same quarter, and everything out of doors appeared quite congenial to the season. During Sunday night it blew a perfect hurricane, veering from the N. to the N.E. A heavy fall of snow commenced about six o'clock on Monday, which in various situations drifted on the turnpike road in ridges of 00 feet wide, by 12 and 14 feet high. On Monday morning all here were anxious to know whether the snow had been so heavy in the interior of the country as it had been in this town and neighbour hood, the streets being choked up with the fallen element. The coaches were anxiously expected to give the looked-for information. At the usual early hour of the morning (9 o'clock) the Bury coach started, which, after making its passage with difficulty as far as Claydon (four miles out,) returned back with its passengers and luggage, finding it impossible to proceed further from the heavy drifts of snow which had choked up the road. The coach front there has not arrived during the day. About 12 o'clock a horseman reached the White Horse, to state that the Halesworth coach (the Shannon), which passes through Yoxford, about 22 miles from here, could not proceed. The Shannon, from here, then proceeded to London two hours after its usual time of starting. The Magnet and Blue had both started at an earlier hour for the metropolis. Up to this hour (5 o'clock) we have not heard whether they were able to proceed, but we conclude they have, or they would have returned before this ; each coach went out with six horses. The Star coach, which leaves Yar mouth for London, passing through Yoxford, and usually reaches here soon after twelve o'clock in the morning, has not yet arrived, neither has anything been heard of it. Se veral passengers have been waiting anxiously during the day, intending to proceed by it to London. The hour is now too late (9 o'clock at night), and there is no chance of its arriving here. The frost still continues, and it again be gins to snow fast. We give up all hope of seeing that or the mail to-night. The bags will no doubt be sent on by a horseman. The Bungay coach, which should have been in at twelve o'clock, did not arrive here until past five in the afternoon. The cold continues intense, and the snow is still falling. The Star and Shannon have arrived here from London two hours and a half after the usual time, the snow now having drifted so heavily as to impede their journey. The Telegraph coach, which leaves here at half-past three in the morning, conveying the Yarmouth mail, was obliged to have nine horses to assist it on its route on Monday yet it is thought it will not be able to proceed. " Tuesday morning.—The Norwich and Yarmouth mail coaches neither arrived last night ; the mail-bags were for warded by a horseman, who with some difficulty reached here. The mails from London reached Ipswich at half past 5 o'clock, being two hours and a half after the usual time ; and, although they were aware of the im possibility of going on, the coaches from those places not having arrived, the coachman and guards would proceed on their route. We have heard the Norwich mail reached Barham, two miles beyond Claydon, and six from this town, when it became buried in the snow, and could proceed no further ; they were compelled to cut the harness to pieces before the horses could be released. There arc four coaches and several waggons buried in the snow on the road, and the passengers are obliged to shift as they can. The Yarmouth mail from London has not yet been heard of ; it is supposed it has reached Sax mundham, and there compelled to stop. " The snow has not been so very deep in its fall, but the severe wind drifted it into mountains in certain situations, and trees have been uprooted in many situations. " Between Colchester and London the roads are not much obstructed. From here to Stratford, about St. Thomas's, 16 miles, the road is almost impassable. " One o'Clock.—Neither the Norwich nor Yarmouth bags are in. It still continues to snow, and no chance of the roads being open for some days. The snow at Wang' ford is 16 feetdeep." At eight o'clock yesterday evening only two of the mail coaches due in London in the morning had arrived at the General Post Office—viz., the Poole and Portsmouth. The Edinburgh, Chester, Dover, Hastings, and Brighton * mails, due the previous day, had not arrived ; and the Exeter, Leeds, and Liverpool mails, which should have ar rived on Monday evening, as well as those due last even ing, were also out at eight o'clock. In the course of the day, however, bags were received from some of the roads by chaises and other conveyances , and the letters, together with those that arrived the pre vious evening, were distributed in London by letter-carriers , or by twopenny-post, according to circumstances. By great exertion, it was arranged for the transmission of the mails on nine of the principal roads out of London yes terday evening. In the absence of the regular guards , some of them were intrusted to clerks and other confi dential persons ; and such orders were given as to secure, as far as possible, the forwarding of the correspondence with the least possible delay. The labour thrown upon the whole department of the Post-office, and particularly on the letter-carriers of the general and twopenny post, has been most serious. In consequence of the accumulation of snow in the imme diate environs of the metropolis, from the storms of Satur day and Sunday night, considerable difficulty was found in the passages of the ordinary conveyances to the City. From Thentford, on Monday morning, instead of fourteen omni b. usses, the usual number, only three wer e able to make the journey, which were drawn by fou r hor ses each. From the different towns in Kent, great di fficult y was experienced by the coaches, that from Westerham not making i ts a ppear: anco until past four o'clock yesterday, although its ordi nary period of arrival is eleven o'clock. All the omnibusses from Paddington, Highgate, Hampstead, Stratford, and Hackney, were drawn by three or four horses, and several accidents happened yesterday and Monday, many having died on the road. On the long line of Hackney marshes extending from Stratford to Lea-bridge, all the ave" impassible, and in some parts, fro were perfectly the drift, the snow had accumulated to nearly te n feet in height. During the course of the day several accidents h a ppened at the declivity on Holborn-hill from the falling of horses, and it ought to be generally known that the best security for not only which the prevention of such accidents is by fill!ng the hoof in the interior of the shoe with soft soap, prevents the accumulation of the snow, butby its repulsive properties prevents the horse's foot from slip ping. I n Plaistow-marshes the body of a drover lad, then son of an industrious journeyman butcher, was found fools to death on Monday morning. The town of Barnet _vic) perfectly isolated from communication with the s urround * The Brighton bag arrived at 7 o'clock last nights 11 press, as we have already stated. 1
