Bargde that they should be redeemed in specie
the Position

e Position of the Turkish Government, while, at
the Berne time, it appears to indicate that the ne-
gotiation of the :New Loan, of which professedly

is considered a failure. The statement is

Cont two mouths back, when there seemed no
nePe of Turkey getting fresh financial aid from any
11,4tter, these obligations were to be bought at i 2,
on the assertions thatM. Mires, with the coun

114 ace of the Emperor Napoleon, had engaged to
OPPIy a loan of £16,000,000, and that the Turkish
elrernment would thus be relieved from impend-
ing bankruptcy, they rapidly went to 82, and many
8 eeenlative transactions occurred. The public,
it,ever, were warned at the time not to rely too
bs.iengly that the payment would be provided for,
the accuray of the caution thus given is now
B.4demonstrated. The affair must have a bad appear-

its having been, from the beginning to the end,
co
tleoeted for special purposes.

TILE WEATHER IN TILE NORTH. 1 !II

Sunday,
ACHESTER.—There was a further fall of snow se
of r?,anday, but it was not nearly so heavy as that
Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. As
first of what fell earlier in the week remained on
the ground, trodden hard and slippery, most of the st
veu_lPaths and roads were on Sunday evening in a et
unpleasant, or even dangerous state.
OZEDs.—The weather during the last few days
07 been extremely cold—not so cold as during one
es,two severe days last winter, but cold more con- ,
84:710usly, and attended with more snow than for
I e years back. The lowest point registered by
th‘aernaometer at Headingley, twenty feet above
32e,greund, has been during the night of the 15th,
uegs. ; of the 16th, 28 degs. ; of the 17th, 26
oigs- ; of the 18th, 25 degs. ; of the 19th, 181 degs. •,
is the 20th, 23 degs. ; of the 21st, 22-1- degs. ; of s'
the 22d, 19 degs. ; and of the 23d, 15 degs.

AND DIIRITAIL—The snow
op in heavy showers during Saturday and Sunday
bYrning in the counties of Durham and Northum-
-4:lland ; and heavy showers came up from N.N.E.
intervals during the whole of Sunday. The s
i'Llad blew a stiff breeze most of Sunday ; and the Es
fri°llsense mass of snow that had been accumulating 8.,1,
eastern
Wednesday drifted very considerably in the 131
.Istern parts of those two counties. If the wind ss,
"ttould have blown strong last (Sunday) night the 81
tj_,4fße in those counties will have been very con-
2oerehly impeded. Saturday was a bitter night 8
'1 the sea •, and as the winds are adverse, it is very
Probable
that a large fleet of light colliers, with
their crews, on their passage to the north, will s
heir
? detained in Bridlington Bay, and other road-
'LLe,,,ads, over the holidays. No steam ships have .1
left the Tyne since Sunday week for London, and st
the goods trade between London and the north is 1
greatly obstructed by the long-continued bad "
Veather.
NEWCASTLE.—In Newcastle, snow fell during 0
the greater part of Sunday, and towards evening
_
strong frost set in, accompanied by intense cold.
LDespite the severity of the storm, the trains have st
111 a with wonderful regularity, the only exception st
being those on the south line, which in some cases st,
have been considerably detained by the snow,
EDINBURGH.—The frost has been keen for the st
4,4,8 t two days, and on Saturday the ice on Dud- et
ulngston Loch was sufficiently strong to admit of
sti
°,kating. It was not generally known that the se
I,oela was bearing, bat several hundreds were on the se
sty
I°o in the afternoon. No accidents occurred,
‘lthough a number ventured frequently on a part
°f the ice which was not considered quite safe, and st:
:Was enclosed with ropes. Most of the curling 28,
OndS were bearing, and the players turned out in
great strength. Between Saturday night and
Sunday morning there was another slight fall of st(
snow, which served to increase the discomforts and st,
''angers of street pedestrian 3. The mail from the
louthyesterday morning was late several hours, but
the lines are now, we believe, pretty clear, and
trains may be expected to arrive with greater regu-
stc
larity should there be no new fall of snow. Pester- st(
day (Sunday) the sun shone brightly, and last St(
tight was clear and frosty, with no indications of a et((
Change. The barometer has, however, fallen con sty
-
siderably since Saturday, and now stands at 29 in. st(
GLASGOW.—For many years we have not experi- st!
anted colder weather than now prevails, and seldom
have we been able to state that snow has lain on 4t4
s
the streets of Glasgow for so many days in succes- stt:
sion. On Tuesday night a very heavy fall of snow
took place, and that was in no way removed—
except by the shovel and cart of the scavenger—
When early yesterday morning another fall of snow
took place. The frost also retains its power, and
Yesterday was one of the keenest, coldest days this s 1
season. This (Monday) morning, at one o'clock, st,
the thermometer stood at 10 deg., showing no less se
than 22 deg. of frost. On Saturday it sank to 6
deg., 8 deg. lower than on the previous day, which 1.
showed 18 deg. of frost. Yesterday, however, was
a very pleasant day, the sun shining brightly for 881:
some hours, the fog of the previous night having eta
quite cleared away. The footpaths of the streets stt
'were in a very slippery state ; but, except a num-
ber of falls, in which the parties were little hurt,
no accident occurred. We trust the police will exert st:
themselves to put a stop to the thoughtless folly
as
of sliding on the pavements—a practice indulged sr,'
in, not only by children, but by lads who ought to
know better. The Clyde was frozen across yester-
day between the bridges, as were also all the sheets
of water in the neighbourhood, so that, doubtless,
if the frost continues for a day or two longer
skaters and bowlers will have plenty of oppor-
tunities for sport. Another proof of the severity of
the frost last night was shown in the street lamps,
mest of which burnt with a dim light, and others
were extinguished, doubtless by the water which
has collected in the pipes having frozen.
HAWICK.—A considerable quantity of snow has
fallen here, though the storm has not been so severe
as it appears to have been on the east coast. It now
lies two or three inches deep on the hills, however,
and the frost on Saturday night was very keen.
Yesterday the cold was intense.
CRIEFF.—In this locality the fall of snow last
'week is perhaps scantier than any other district in
Scotland, for the snow does not exceed two inches
in depth ; but to the north and north-east the fall
is much greater, and in the upland districts the
snow is drifted into deep wreaths, and the hills
which were green with pasture eight days ago,
have been again mantled with snow, causing sheep
farmers to feed their flock. Early on Thursday
morning, while snow was falling, several peals of
thunder were heard in the north-east, and numer-
ous vivid flashes of lightning continued to illumine
the horizon for several hours. The snow has been
accompanied with severe frost, which has put a
stop to out-door labour, and labouring men, who
were so long idle with wet weather, have at present
to battle with the rigours of winter.
STIRLING.—In the neighbourhood of Stirling and
Bridge of Allan the late snow storm was not cha-
racterised by such severity as in many other dis-
tricts. The Ochil ranges have, however, been
rather deeply covered with snow. On Saturday a
numerous company assembled on Airthrey Loch,
at the seat of Lord Abercromby, where curling
and skating were enjoyed with great spirit during
the whole day. In most of the districts around,
the lovers of "the channelstane" were active on
the various lochs at their fa''ourite and healthy
Pastime.
