A ItBROA TH, JAN. 11.—I have never felt cold
in Scotland till last week, when it was almost impossible
to acquire or retain heat in the body, even by violent exer-
cise. During Thursday, Friday, and Saturday the ther-
mometer (Fahrenheit) was so low as seven degrees below
zero. The air was so dry and pure it was difficult to
respire it freely. The host must be far more severe up in
the hills, for the hill-birds, such as curlews, snipes, storm-
cocks, wild ducks, &c. :.rc flying ab,.9ut our very streets.
The cold must he intense indeed before it would compel
creatures so naturally shy and timid as those I have men-
tioned to visit our streets and gardens like our domestic
poultry. The havoc made among the poor creatures is
very great, for every gun has been in requisition against
them for sonic days past, and these are not a few, for being
on the coast where sea-fowl are in abundance, the poorest
man and the youngest boy are all possessed of their double
or single-barrelled gun.
