THE WEATHER IN THE NORTII.—oe.
frost and snow continue still to reign paramoulstiio
the north, and have not only " hushed the music of :of
year," but have well-nigh suspended business iv d friao
communication. The lowest point of depres-.ion I
thermometer has been 8 degrees of Fahrenlstit, at
it stood on Saturday the 9th ; the day previous it O.
9 degrees. The capacious basin of the Caledonian Cap
is wholly frozen over, and of course all thu mountain lard
(except Loch Ness, which, from its extreme depth, s'
oI
well known, is never touched by frost) are now sheet 4

Road. From Inverness to Moy, a distance of 110.
miles, the passage is so far open that the mail-PL,
can be conveyed in a post-chaise, drawn by six 101 -
Thence to Blair Atha they are carried on horseback-',0
long and dreary journey of about sixty miles. One part of t'P„
road, a narrow passage has been cut through

as far as Tam ; but this morning (Tuesthry ) no Suti'epi
