DUNDEE, MARCH 11.-The wonderful pheno-
mena of the late'and Present storms will never be
all recorded. The following specimen of the power
of frosthas sea rcely been surpassed by anything Unit
happened dining the celebrated retreat of the French
from Moscow. In the neighbourhood of Glammis,
while the cold Was most intense, a gentleman
found a piece of solid ice in the heart of his break-
fast-egg, whiCh, having been boiled in his own pre-
sence, and opened by himself, excludes the possi-
bility of deeeption•being practised. The gentleman
however candidly admits that the egg was not
boiled for a great length_ of time—probably not,
longer than two minutes and a half.—Of another
very singular appearance, ourselves had ocular
evidence on- Tuesday tri6rning. - A weighty mass
of snow, in the act of falling fiom the roof of the
Stoeple„Church, had been arrested by a sudden
change of temperature, and, presented to thy eye
the figure of an immense cornice, projecting
about eighteen -inches beyond the slates of the

building. . -
About eleven o'clock in the evening of Monday
last, a quariel took Otte on the streets of Irvine,
Scotland, between some. of the inhabitants of that
town, principally sailors, and some of the soldiers
belonging to a detachment of the `;',7th Regiment
of Foot, quartered there, which unfortunatelyend-
ing in blows, and the latter finding themselves
very roughly handled, it is understood one of
them ran to his quarters for a loaded gun, and on
his return shot Allan Hutton through'the heart
with a musket ball, who instantly ,expired
Hutton, by trade a weaver, was a strong robust
man, and it would appear had been very active
in the scuffle, which led to the fatal weapon being
pointed at him. He has left a wife and family
to lament his loss. John WM...anus, the soldier
suspected, was immediately apprehended, and,
after a MI investigation into the whole of the
affair, by the Sheriff-Substitute and Proeuratbr-
Fiscal of the county, has been committed to pri-
son to stand trial, charged with the perpetration
of the murder:

On Tuesday James Meredith. and Mat. Hale
were committed to Gloucester gaol, by J. VEMST
and E. DAVIS,' Estim. charged with killing and car-
rying'away, from a wood in the aundred of St. Bria-
yell, one fallow (Ler, the property of Lord Vii-
