STATE , or am:, wEiTtiErt, &c. There was a fresh fall of gm :NI; on the 29th ) to serious depth, across from the West of El gland to . the East; it was deep in -Cheshire; at Leeds and at Barnsley no wheel carriages could travel, and .the mail was forwarded by horse from that town to Kettering. The snow had in some places occasioned a deep flood, but being succeeded by frost, much damage has been avoided.. At Wens ford the waters had risen to the height of three feet when the mail coach came through yesterday; also at Clapton, on the Bedford road, and Cax ton, near Huntingdon, as well as many other other places ; hut as they are decreasing, we hope it will not wholly prevent travelling, as the coaches have,. with much difficulty come through. After the frost had set in - about three hours, and at. many places, in the lanes and hollow ways; the water and snow were frozen over, and being about knee deep, the ice cut the horses feet tilt they bled. The Manchestcr Mail had not arrived . . at the Post-Office yesterday at three o'cloek, and it is apprehended, as the snow had again fallen' in the lower counties, that travelling over the Leek Hills has met with obstruction. The Edinburgh and York mail was set 'yester day several hours in .Caxton waters. These wa ters, which are situated a few miles on-the Lon don side of Huntingdon, were completely 'stopped in the ice, and the hove mail was more than five hours at a stand still, (mph at, length labourers were employed four feet deep to ,clear the way.— Theßostbn auxiliary mail clown was more thad three hours in the same situation. The Lincoln shire low-lands, although much inundated, are not so bad as might have been anticipated, as no . particular (haulage has yet been done. Edmonton Wash has rendered that road impassable, and the coaches are going by a circuitous route of more than two miles. In town, even in Cow-lace, se veral axletrees and springs have, been broken in coining in and going out, from the impaSsahre state of a principal street in Lomin. The Exe ter coaches leik town yesterday for the - first time thes._ several days. Dating the whole of the afternoon of yesterday hundreds of people were assembled on Blackfriars and London Bridges, to see several adventurous ' men cross and reeross the Thames on the ice.— The late Taw has sent such a quantity of ice down the River, as completely to chock up the Thaines bet - 4 - een those two bridges ; and the frost on Sun ' day night 'and vetcrday has so united the vast mass as to render it immovable by the tide.. At' One time 70 . persons were counted crossing from Queenhithe to the opposite shore. It is strongly teeommended to parents and masters to use their utmost influence - in preventing. the youth under their charge from venturing on this frozen mass, - for the ice Which composes it is exceedingly rot ten, in consequence of the late thaw. It does not appear, according to the statement of the-cold, during the seeson, given in the news-- :. papers, that the present winter, hOwevev severe, has been :remarkable for intensity of cold. A scientific Gentleman of this cjty inforins us, that he has frequently observed Fahrenheit's Thermo 7 meter at 20 ; several times at 15 ; more than once at 10 ; once at 6 ; and once so low as 2 below 0; viz. 3-1 degrees below the frc t 2.7h)g point. This happened on the morning of Christmas ,Day 1796, and is reputed to be the most intense degree of cold ever observed in England. The same Gen tleman has. favoured us with a general rule of his respecting the weather, long since published, with other matters of a similar nature, viz.. " Upon the whole, there seems to he a greater disposition or effort in the atmosphere for clear dry weather, during the increase of the moon, than during the wane of the moon, anti vice versa." This is an ori ginal observation, anti not to be confounded with the ordinarily received opinion, .that ". every change of the moon, Ivhether -.New, or Fall, may produce a change in the weather."-,-(o4ord Herald. )- To such extremities is the animal creation re. duced through the present inclemency of the sea son; that a hare actually made its appearance this last week in the garden of an. old inhabitant of the town of Fulham, on the King's-road, yvh;ch after affiirding much short to its pursuers, made 'for a saw-pit, into-which she leaped, and suffered .herself to , be taken.—Thev have also made their. appearance' so near the =Metropolis as between Pentonville and Islington. On the-morning of the ISth nit, the frost was . so severe, that a wood-pigeon was taken alive in Pitfirrane-garden, near I)umferluie, having -its feet frozen to. a 'cabbage, on which it had alighted but a few secOnds_before. .A 'gentleman and 1n wife were proceeding. last week, in a chaise, from Torpoint to Launceston, Ivhen they missed the road, and drove over a precipice into a quarry. The gentleman and lady, with the driver, were dug out the next day, quite dead. A melaneholy catastrophe took place in the road leading our of the North road, some distance from Royston, to . Bellington Abbey. A Mr. YATELEY, a farmer, and his twa sons, were tra veiling in a chaise-cart, about nine in the evening of Friday se'nnight, when they got off the road co sonic drifted -snow, ten or twelve feet ,in height, and. the vehicle was precipitated into a st(m.: pit thirty feet deep. The horsi was killed by the fail, but 'the - three persons were.got out alive at nine o'clock the next morning, but the youngest 'son, a fine youth, fourteen years of age;ilied soon aster. • Mr. YATKLEY and his other son were nearly frozen to death, but they are in a fair way of recovery. Ihe pit was completely-filled with light drifted snow. Several accidents have occurred in the neigh bourhood of',Exeter, saute of which are fatal : On Wednesday a soldier was found dead Within a , short distance of Haldon, and on Friday three of the Renfrew Militia were dug out near the same spot, ,and their bodies conveyed to Child.
