TIIE EARL OF ELDON.—We regreat to hear that
the Earl of Eldon lies in a most dangerous state at his house
in Hamilton-place, Piccadilly, and that his dissolution is hourly
expected. The Noble arid Learned Lord, who was born in
the year 1751, is now in his 87th year.
THE WEATHER.—LONDON, JAN. 12.—The
thermometer at 9 this morning stood at 20, and the barometer
since yesterday has risen from 30.02 to 30.38. There has
been a dense fog all the morning with every symptom of a
continued severe frost.
THE WEATHER.—At length we hare something
like gentle frost, which, we would fain hope, will last a few
reeks. Cranreuch, morning and evening, indicates some ap-
proaching change, and possibly enough in the course of a
week, the Curling fraternity will he gratified to their heart's
content. Saturday last was like a day in April, and from
'what is said in the London papers, the banks of the Nith must
!lave borne a close resemblance to the banks of the Thames.
Most spring flowers have come a month earlier than usual ;
snow-drops and crocuses arc quite rife, to sa3 nothing of the
pansies, polyanthuses, auricular, Christmas roses, &c. &c. ;
4211 d never perhaps were the parterres as rich at the same sea-
son. --Dun fries Courier of Tuesday last.
Tns it IvEß.—Yesterday the bosom of 'r Old Father
Thames,' was covered with drifting shoals of ice, which greatly
impeded the navigation of the river. The poor watermun had
the greatest diliCeilitY in pursuing their calling. At nine a.m.
the thermometer placed at the entrance to the Superintendent's
Office, London Docks', was at the mark 22 degrees
On Saturday last, about five o'clock, A.M., there
hying a dense fog, and the tirld blowing a stiff gale from the
S. S. w. at the time, the fine brig Waterwith, of Whitehaven,
Captain Newby, burden 400 tons, with a general cargo, and
hound from Liverpool to Barbadoes, struck on the Blaekwater
hank, and immediately sunk on her beam ends. Just as she
stank the long-boat was carried away from her fastenings, and
(The of the men dashed into her by a succeeding wave, who
was thus most providentially saved, as the boat was mon after
washed ashore near Courtosen Harbour. All hands made the
land in safety. In a five-oared boat, If Government longer
defer the practical consideration of a safety harbour on the
sqllth coast of Ireland, and a floating light in the North Bay,
let the consequences be on their own heads.— Wexford Inde-
