THE WEATHER.

The thaw continued on Tuesday in the metropolis, and
the lowest point of temperature at the Zoological Gar-
dens was 29 degrees at 10 o'clock on Monday night.
On Tuesday morning at Hackney, at 8 o'clock, the ther-
mometer was 33 deg., and at noon 36 deg. Fahrenheit.
There was a very slight fail of snow in the night, which
merely covered the surface of the ground. The wind
blew briskly from the west, and a few points inclining
to the north. Walking in the City was very unpleasant
on account of the melting snow, which had been but i❑
few places removed. Navigation on the river was much
impeded by the masses of floating ice, and the adjacent
creeks and rivulets were generally locked up. Employ-
ment at the docks is quite at a stand still, and many
hands have been thrown out of employment. At the
Royal Exchange upwards of 100 hands were dismissed
On Tuesday, the weather being unfavourable to the ob-
taining of Thames balLst, as well as in laying the foun-
dation for the new building. No delay occurred by the
mails, coaches, or railroads.

KENSINGTON-GARDENS.--Both on Monday and Tues-
day, notwithstanding the partial thaw, a considerable
portion of the ice on the round pond was uncovered
with water, and afforded a fair opportunity for skaters,
numbers of whom were in attendance. On the long
water the number of skaters was on both days very few,
owing to the quantity of sodden snow by which the ice
was covered.

THE SERPENTINE.—During the early party of Mon-
day there was a considerable accumulation of water on
portions of the ice, while the remainder was covered by
the additional fall of snow on Sunday night, which was
in a sodden state. The attendance on the ice, with the
exception of a few boys sliding, was, therefore, not
considerable. In the course of the afternoon, however,
the Duke of Brunswick and a few other gentlemen ven-
tured on, but for some time, owing to the absence of the
men who, previous to the partial thaw, were in attend-
ance to sweep the snow away, their efforts to skate
were almost useless. Tuesday still fewer persons ven-
tured on the ice, which appeared in an exceedingly bad
state.

ST. JAMES'• PARK.—The ice very dangerous and
sloppy. The icemen exerted themselves greatly in
preventing persons from going thereon.
REGENT'S-PARK.—The ice more firm than in the
other parks, and the skaters more numerous. The ice
is, however, in parts much covered by water and sod-
den snow.

In neither of the parks, since the thaw has com-
menced, owing to the strenuous exertions of the ice-
men of the Royal Humane Society, has a single acci-
dent occurred ; and, to their credit be it said, that
since the commencement of the frost only one life has
been lost.

On the river, above the bridges, there is a great ac-
cumulation of ice, which, should a renewed frost set
in, would in a few hours be sot.
