strongly in favour, that he quickly obtained a decided

SOUTHAMPTON, Wednesday. A heavy snow-storm
came on this morning at seven o'clock, in the south of
England, and continued without intermission for six
hours. The up morning Dorchester train was two hours
late into Southampton, and the London down express
morning train was one hour late into Basingstoke. At
Bishopstoke the fire of the morning down mail train
engine was extinguished by the snow. The carriage
wheels of a Dorchester tram were frozen to the rail by
means of the snow while the train stopped at one of the
stations, and it was with difficulty the train could be
moved on. Such a snow-storm has not been known in
the south fur years,
