THE PARKS AND THE FRosT.--On Sunday
thousands visited the Parks, to behold what for the last few
years has been a positive rarity—genuine English ice. In
St. James's Park the sides of the ornamental canal were
crowded with well-dressed -persons, many of whom were
amusing thetnsAves by trying various diverting experiment:,
with a view to determine the relative thickness 'et different
places of the-ice; which covered the entire surface;.without
venturing their own precious persons on its surface. The
results seemed to he, that in parts where there was little
current, and the process had never been distUrbed, the thick-
ness wits from 11 to I inches, and where the current Was
strongest, the thickness was about three-fourths of an inch.
There were, no doubt, many places where it would be'ls3afe
is a few to venture, but as the act would most likely lead
to a h,2edless rush of many, :when a fearful calamity might
ensue, 6,;.rds were fixed at numerous spots, inscribed with
the well-knov.Tn warning to skitters, the word " Dangerous."
Several men bet.'nging to the Royal Humane Society were
likewise in atteiulaph,es^e,.!;:deiol(ilrecre
atphie.craaututiso,ni,f aoribdstpinraecpyar.eodwith r
folly should render their a',l necessary. A few ducks were
to be seen here and there in -ntelancholy procession, walking
along the surface, as if wondering at its unaccustomed soli-
.
dity, and on reaching any opening of the many made for
them, plunging into it with evident ale..'. On the Serpen-
tine, in Hyde-Park, there was ice on the sluggish side of
the stream, but on the current side all was an open sheet of
water. The banks of the river were much crowded with
company, and in the receiving house, many condos were
already prepared for any emergency that might arise.
FRAUD ON TIIE EVI?.N UE.—ShOlTly after lupe
o'clock, on Friday night, as the watchman, Holme, was
passing through Tithebarn-street, he discovered, the door of
a cellar belonging to a warehouse nearly opposite the Li-
verpool Exchange, standing wide open. It appears that
two vaults, the bonded and the one fronting lithebarn-
street,- have both been let for some time past to one indivi-
dual ; and it is stated, that he has employed means to de-
fraud the revenue to the amount of upwards of 3,0001. It
seems that an immense quantity of brandy, rum, wine, &c.,
has been bonded in the George's-street. vault, and that a
proportionate quantity of water has been introduced into
the celler in Tithebarn-street. The leathern hose has been
employed to force the water out of the latter into the for.
mer, while the long leaden pump (30 feet long) has beewas
actively employed in making a transfer of the spirits into
the free warehouse. The bonded vault is completely full
of rum-puncheons, brandy pieces, and wine-pipei, butts,
hogsheads, &c., all filled with water, while the more valu-
able commodity in the other celler has all been removed,in
the vessels in which the water was brought, with the single
exception of a cask of rum. It is rumoured, that a party
in Manchester is implicated in the transaction.—Lireyou
