" The great military services performed by Losd
Clyde in different parts of the world, the success
with which, in most trying circumstances, he re-
stored peace to her Majesty's Indian empire, and
the personal regard which her Majesty and her be-
loved Consort entertained for his high and honour-
able character, make her Majesty deeply deplore
the loss which the Queen, in common with her
Majesty's subjects, has sustained.

IMPROVEMENTS IN BATTIRSTA PARlL—Persons
who have not bees through the new park at Battersea niece
its opening , /boot fail now to be struck with its beauty and
the great improvements which, under the sole direc-
tion of Mr. Cowper, Chief Commissioner of Woods sod
Forests, have for thine time past and are still being car-
ried out. The whole extent of the ground, large portions
of which till recently have been lying waste, has been
moat t atefully laid out and arranged, and divided into long
lines of flower 13- de similar to those in the Regeot's-park.
The walks along these beds have been constructed with the
greatest view to effect, and several of them, which are quite
w long as the width of the park, have a most charming
sower, the flowers down the entire lengths being of the
most varied hoes, sod the beds neatly railed with galvanised
wire. The latest improvement which has been effected within
the lest few weeks is war the south entrance, in the
Battersea-road. There • long oval bed bee been laid
oat, intersected with eircalar patches, which have a very
pretty effect. The beds are stocked with the choicest flewers
and English and foreign exotica, and are planted with great
taste. The carriage-road round the park has also been com-
pleted, and is daily thrown open for carrier - and horsemen.
A better time for • visit then the present could not be
selected; for, independent of the numerous other attractions
which it poesessra, the roses and dahlias are in full bloom.
Great judgment has been displayed in placing chairs in the
different parts of the park for the accommodation of the
publit. The lake is also now well stocked with different
species of wild fowl. Battersea-park and the elegant bridge
which connects it with Chelsea were, as may he remembered,
formally opened to the public in the spring of ltggi. The
first act of parliament for originating the park passed the

The Mfmorial de la Loire of Saturday says :
The Paris journal■ have mentioned with something like
surprise the ch►nge in the temperature, which suddenly,
and without any apparent trawitioo, had fallen about ten
degrees. That is nothing to what has taken place in this
neighbourhood. Hardly four days ago we might have
thought ourselves in Senegal ; now, on the banks of the
Loire, we are, as it were, in Kamchatka. Yesterday in the
' Haute•Loire snow fell as in December;. the market of
Saint Bonnet-le•Froid was white with it, and travellers
who had passed the night in the Pay diligence coining from
Yeeengeaux or Montlancon were surprised at this pheno-
menon, for which they were not prepared, and arrived at
St. Etienne trembling with cold.
Southern journals also speak of remarkably
sudden changes in the weather. It froze last week
in the department of the Aveyron. But now in
Paris it is quite hot again, and very fine.
The Bourse was quite stagnant, and there is
`scarcely a shade of change in quotations.
