Within the last few-weeks a gang of fellows have
made what is called a "dead set" at the property.of publi-
cans in the neighbourhood of the Strand, by carrying off a
large number of wine and ale glasses, measures, &c. One
landlord has lost within the last five weeks, no fewer than three
dozen glasses, and about half the number of pint pots. The
thefts are usually committed in the parlours of the respective
houses, about mid-day, when the number of visitors is smallest.
To avoid suspicion, the same parties do not return to the scene,
of their depredations except at long intervals, their confede-
rates succeeding them in regular rotation. On Saturday or,e
of the gang was apprehended and taken to Bow-street Police
Office, from which be was committed to the House of Correc-
tion and hard labour for a month. There is a society for
paying rewards in cases of detection to: the party who gives
the information.

GooDwooD PART[.—Preparations are already be-
ing made for the festivities attendant on the Earl of March
attaining his majority on the 27th of the ensuing month. A
grand ball will be given by the Duke and Duchess-of Rich-
mond on that day to about 700 of the Nobility, and on the
Friday (Ist of March) a grand dinner will be given to the
tenants on the family estate in this county. All the labourers

THE WEATHER IN LONDON.—The weather
during the last few days has undergone most rapid and ex-
traordinary changes. On Sunday and Monday it froze sharply,
the thermometer varying from 26 to 32 degrees, with a strong
northerly wind. On Tuesday morning the frost still conti-
nued, but during the forenoon the wind suddenly shifted to
the west, and towards evening to the south, thn thermometer
rising to 42 degrees. Between five and six o'clock it com-
menced raining very fast, and about seven o'clock it poured
in torrents. About half-past seven o'clock it suddenly ceased
raining, and soon afterwards the mercury sunk to 26 degrees,
and by nine o'clock the pavement of the fashionable squares
and other open parts of town were coated with ice. Soon
after ten o'clock large drops of rain began to fall, which,
in about ten minutes afterwards, changed to large particles
of ice, and the wind suddenly veering to the north, a
storm of wind, frozen rain, and snow ensued, which lasted
about an hour. So severe was it on the Great Western
road that the horses of some of the outward coaches re-
fused to face it. From half-past eleven o'clock until one
it was a gradual frost, but about the latter hour it rained
for a few minutes, after which the clouds cleared away
and a most severe frost set in, the moon shining brightly, and
the mercury falling rapidly, until, at six o'clock, it stood a
only sixteen degrees. About that time the heavens becam
again overcast, and there was a fall of snow for near half an
hour, during which the mercury fell to 14 degrees above zero.
From daylight yesterday morning the roads round town were
one sheet of ice, and most dangerous for the various vehicles
proceeding towards the City. Westward several of the om-
nibuses were unable to get up the hill from Wilton-place to
Hyde-park-corner, and were compelled to turn back, while
others, whose horses had been " roughed," found the hill in
Piccadilly and Ludgate-hill insurmountable. Many accidents
occurred from horses falling down, but we have not heard of
any of a fatal nature. During the forenoon the frost was
very intense, and from two to four o'clock there was a very
heavy fall of snow. The Round Pond and that portion of the
Serpentine in Kensington Gardens was completely frozen over,
and there, as well as in the ornamental garden of St. James's
Park, men belonging to the Royal Humane Society were
stationed with hand-lines, to prevent fool-hardy persons from
venturing on the ice. In the afternoon ice was brought to
many of the pastry-cooks shops full two inches thick. At
seven o'clock last evening the thermometer stood at 22 de-
grees, with every prospect of the frost continuing.
ACCIDENTS FROM THE FROST YESTERDAY
Monaural. —Between seven and eight o'clock an elderly gen-
tleman named Bowling, residing at No. 14, Bird-street,
Dock-bead, Bermondsey, was stepping from his own door,
when he slipped in consequence of treading on a slide on the
footway, and, falling on his back, he broke his hip thigh just
below the hip joint. A girl named Hannah Barton, aged 11
years, was proceeding along Cannon-street, Cheapside, when
she slipped down, and in falling struck her head with such
violence against the railings, that she sustained a concussion
of the brain. She was taken to the hospital. As Miss Har- DIR D.

QUACKERY IN AMERICA.—An American phy-
sician, Dr. Ticknor, has published a work on quackery, from
which we extract the following anecdote in illustration of
the spread of quackery in America t—ale of the quacks who
infest that part of the world used to tell his patients that some
particular substance was lodged in the alimentary canal--
apple-pips, for instance; or, if the patio nt was a► sportsman,
his complaint might arise from his having accidentally swal-
loWed a few shot, and this was generally found to be the case.
A lady who applied to him was informed the cause of her ill-
ness wai the existence in her inside of lemon seeds which
she had swallowed, to which she replied that she had not
tested a lemon for six years. The quack persisted, the pills
were taken, and, wonder of wonders, lemon seeds were
passed. A second dose was given, and the same result en-
sued. The lady, who was still sceptical, cut open one of
the pills, when, behold I a lemon-seed wns concealed in its
interior. Such was the secret of the Doctor's wisdom and
success in practice.

he had been round the world, but never in it." Walpole, also.
is not far from the truth in calling him " the silent son-in,..law

not the offspring of any deficiency of knowledge or vsant of
ability, either on general or professional acquirements, but
from that natural diffidence of his own merit, and a reluctance
of speaking in public, which very many men of cons aderable
talents have not been able to overcome ; while others, with a
parsimony of intellect, are by no means deficient in volubility
of speech.—Barrow's Life ofAnson.
