THE WEATHER.

It Was yesterday publicly proclaimed by die
billmart of. Hammersmith, that there would this
day be held a fair on the Thames; between that
place and Kew Bridge, the whole being deeply
fro'zen across: There is to be dancing and variou:i
other atimsements and another sheep
roasted whole upon the ice, which is to be cut op
and distributed among the poor of the neighbour-
hood.

The heavy coaches from London, which should
have arrived yesterday morning, could not 'get',
farther than itocheSter, Chatham Hill being ren-
dered impassable : neither have the daily coaches
attempted to proceed from hence to London.
Numerous gangs of labourers have been em-
ployed on all the great roads, to rempve, the depths
of snow, so that a general commtialcation with the
capital may •be hourly looked for, if there be nu
farther fall of snowy.
We understand, that all communications front
Huntingdon to Buntingtord; ceased on this day
se'nnight, and that it was.impossible to pass be-
yond the town of Godmanchester, owing to the
snow, which covered the road from six to ten
feet in depth. The consequence was, that there
had not been any mails thisn for several days, to
the very great inconvenience of the large toavns
and populous neighbourhood in that district, and it
was particularly felt northwards, as this is the
principal roid'to Scotland. Anxiety was not re-
lieved until Sunday last, when the mail-coach arriv-
ed, drawn by ten horses. The coach was attended
by,a Gentle.man-from the Post-Ofliee, who had gone
down from London for the purpose of getting for-
' ward so important and 'accumulated a correspond-
ence. The bags were so very numerous that the
coach was completely filed with them. The great
North roan may again be considered as open, as we
learn that the mail coach pa'ssed through Fl int-
ingdOn on Monday. The snow is still very deep
between Puckerid:re and- Airington, but much.of
the latter part of that road has been cleared by
the exertions of Lora Hard wicke, who has had a
new constructed' plough for Clearing the road-at
work since Ffiday, with very great effect. •
LivEaroae, JAN. 29.—e During the lust three
weeks there has been a more rigorous and
Conti-
rued fro Sta - accompanied by Occasional falls -of
sno se, than has been experienced for a consicler-
able period in t. is part of the 'country. The
quantity of ice, which has been accumulating in
the_ liver Mersey Ita3 given it a novel and curious
appearance, but rendered the passage extremely
hazardous. The market-place on 'Saturday pre=
seated a very uncommon appearance, being en-
tirelydessitute of poultry -and vegetables, and fnr-
nishing but. an extremely scanty supply, of any
other kind of provisions. Near!revery kind of
labour without doors is at a stand, and a consi-
derabledegree of distress has been created amongst
the lower orders of society. •
CANTERBURY, JAN. 21.—50 heavy and unpre-
cedented of late years has been the fall 0-f snow
and the drift by the wind, since yesterday morn-
ing, that all communication between this city and
the metropolis, and the southern part of the coast,
has been entirely suspended. The London mail,
with great difficulty, arrived here at seven yes-
terday morning, two hours after its usual ttme,
and• at this moment (balf-past seven), that of yes-
terday bad not come to hand. , •

The severity of the frost for the last fortnight
has not, been exceeded
,y any that has ppececed
it for many years. The river Severn is:frozen
(wee, and in the vicinity of Ois town has been
covered with skaiters. Several people going to
Tewkesbury market on Wednesday last,
.drove
'the cattle, and rode across the ice on horseback.—
