THE WEATHER.

The coldtat night experienced in the metropolis
during the present winter was Tuesday night, when the
thermometer at the Royal Humane Society's receiving-
house in Hyde-park fell to 13 degrees, being 19 below
Wising point. The mercury was falling last night, in-
ditetiog a eontinuance of the frost. The ice on the Ser.
patine yesterday was six inches thick, and during the
afteraoon, Captain Wheatley, of the Guards, drove a horse
and 'ledge over the ice at a rapid rate, in the midst of many
thessande of spectators. The scene in Bt. Jamw'►park
was almost without precedent, not fewer than 20,000 per
its. having ventured upon the ice. In order to prevent
mildews simi,ar to that which occurred to Mr. Leslie, M.P.,
ea Tuesday, placard. will be affixed to the arches of the
Midge in Hyde-park, inscribed, " Beware of the spikes.'
