THE WEATHER IN THE NORTH.
MANCHESTER, JAN. 21.—Yesterday afternoon, about one
o'clock, the clouds became very dull and hazy, which was
immediately followed by a heavy fall of snow, which has
continued without intermission up to this hour (four o'clock).
The snow is now at least a foot deep in the streets, an 4 in the
fields and on unfrequented roads much deeper. Many cf the
railway trains have been detained in consequence, more es-
pecially those from Liverpool. The snow storm, though
severe here, is, I learn on inquiry, but partial. I was in-
formed by a passenger on board the Commodore, from
Glasgow to Liverpool, that the snow storm was first felt about
twelve o'clock on Tuesday, at midnight, off the Isle of Man.
It first made its appearance in Manchester at one o'clock on
Wednesday ; and I have learned that, up to eight o'clock
this morning, snow had not made its appearance at Bacup,
a manufacturing town on the borders of -Yorkshire, and
about fifteen miles from Manchester.

HEAVY FALL OF SNOWiN LIVERPOOL:
LIVERPOOL' TIIURDAY AFTERNOON. The town is all
darkness and quiet. The window-sills and skylights are
filled up, and the streets regularly blocked up with snow.
" The oldest inhabitant " declares that such a fall of snow
in Liverpool has never been known in his time. It has now
been snowing incessantly for the last forty hours, and it is
with extreme difficulty the public vehicles are enabled to get
along the streets. There are few passengers to be seen in the
streets, and those such only as business necessity brings
out. The crowd of poor Irish round the parish offices was
great this afternoon ; relief is afforded them to the extent of
legislative requirement; but an awful amount of misery and
destitution must prevail. We observed hundreds of poor
women, each with an infant in her arms. Let us hope that
the rich may extend a merciful hand and succour them in
their distress.
