THE WEATHER.

The frost has returned to the metropolis with
considerable intensity. Before midnight on Tuesday the
wind changeti from the south-west to the northern point of
the compass, when the thermometer fell rapidly, until it
had descended two degrees below the freezMg register. The
result was that the streets were by midnight perfectly dryand
every puddle frozen. At sunrise the sky was quite clear,
the atmosphere exceedingly bracing, and the wind keen and
brisk. Nor did any change take place during the day, with
the exception of the appearance, at intervals, of • few
fleecy clouts, the barometer continuing meanwhile to rise
towards "fair," and the thermometer never sinking below
the line marked "freezing," even where fully exposed to
the sun. Mr. Bokeohare, the Controller of the Circulation
Department of the Poet-office, issued in the course of the
morning • notice to the effect that the bags for the follow-
ing post towns had not arrived when the morning mails out-
war and the town letters, were sent out for delivery, viz.,
Btowinerket, Needham Market, Grantham, Port Glasgow, I
Greenock, Paisley, Hereford, Leominster, Ludlow, Rhays.
der, Tenbury, and Kinpton. The whole of the low lands
for many miles in the midhnd and south-eastern counties—
the mail guards reported—were under water, and to an ex-
tent not witnessed for many years past.
Large numbers of persons visited the various parka yes-
terday for the purpose of skating. The ice on the Serwn.
tine, however, had been rendered so dangerous by the thaw
of Sunday and Monday, that the officers of the Royal
Humane Society endeavoured to prevent persons from yen-
tering upon it. They were generally successful in this.
though in spite of them some few people were bold enough
to run the risk, being in some caeca rewarded by falls and
broken heads. The ice on the ornamental water in St.
Jamee'Park and on the Long Water in Kensington Gardens,
was in a much better condition, and some thousands of
persons enjoyed themselves upon it during the day, DO
serious accident occurring. The ice in the Regent's Park
was dangerous, and the public were not allowed upon it.
Last night the frost was very severe.

STORY •ND WRECKS AT DVS/BA R. —Between
Saturda night and Sunday morning a severe gale com-
menced-to blow from E.N.E., accompanied with a heavy
storm of snow and sleet. The intensity of the gale was at
its height at about one o'clock a.m. In the morning four
vowels were driven ashore, but fortunately no lives are lost.
The schooner Francis of Kirkwall, from Newcastle to Burnt-
island, with coal, was driven ashore at Tyne Sands; the
other throe about two miles to the east of Dunbar. They
are the John Wright (schooner). of Hull, from Leven to
London, with potatoes; the Sea Gull (schooner), of Grange-
mouth, from Berwick to London, with barley ; and the
Orient (brig), of Montrose, in ballast. As the ships have all
come on the strand at top stream-tide, and the weather
very coarse, it is doubtful if any of them will be got off.
The road@ to the south and west of Dunbar have been drifted
up with the snow, and are now (Monday) impassable for
carriage or horse traffic.—Scotiman.
