TO THE EDTTOR OT THE IMPRIBB.

Sts-1 see in the Express of Monday you state, in your
remarks on the weatler, that the thermometer, in Parte of
Norfolk, was as low as degs. In this district, where we
have hul a deep covering of snow for a week, the ther-
mometer---a self-registering one, in an easterly aspect—has
stood at 5 or 27 degs. below freezing point. The frost
baa been grWrally increasing in intensity for several days.
Wolverton, North Hants, December 25.

Tea WEATHEIt IN FILANCL—Paria ia at present
nadir the induenoe of a severe frost, and skaters are to be
uses as the ornamental sheets of water in the public gardens.
Yeetierday afternoon a rather thick fog fell over the capital,
giving everything a most uncomfortable appearance. The
thermometer marked at five in the evening four degrees below
zero centigrade (25 Fahrenheit). Snow, it would appear,
fell in abundance on Sunday at St. Meuse, Chambery, and
Lyons. The weather is dry at Marseilles, but eseeed.ingly
cold. At Brett winter has set in with great violence, snow,
alert, rain, and wind having been seen, and on Sunday morn-
ing a shop frost took place. Several sledges were to be
we yesterday sad the day before yesterday in the Champs
Elyeles, and on the Boulevards. As usual at this season a
great number of wooden stalls for the sale of all sorts of
articles suited for presents have been erected aloes the
boulevards, but hopes of a brisk trade are considerably
damped by the severity of the weather. - °align/li.
ACCIDENT DURING THE Frtoev.—The dangerous
state of the public thoroughfares from the intense frost ma
Christmas day and 7esterday was greatly augmented by the
reprehensible practice of converting the foot pavements into
slides, and numerous widest', attended with fractured and
dislocated limbs, resulted therefrom. Upwards of thirty
serious cases of this description were wider treatment at
one time at the University Hospital • and at the other hoe*
pitals a large number of persons received' surgical assistance
for injuries arising from the same cause. Some of the rum
were of a distressing Nature, more especially those of
people of advanced age, among which May be mentioned
that of Mr. Dwain, as atter to one of the Imbuing,
who received • compond fracture of the leg from a fall
in Russellequare, art whose condition is mast precarious.
The celebrated collection of objects of art and
curiosity of the Prince dm Soltikoff, the tale of which by
auction was about to take place, has been purchased as ft
stands by the Emperor, and they are now being conveyed
to the Louvre. The Muni des Souverains is to receive a
past of them.
