THE EVEATHEtt AND THE PARKS.

The thermometer at the Royal Humane Society's re.
ceiving-house in Hyde Park during Sukiday night rose
from 16 deg. to 22 deg., showing only 10 dog. of trust.
At 9 yesterday morning the mercury roae to 30, being
only 2 deg. below freezing point, but at noon the glass
pointed at 37-5 deg. above frost. The barometer in-
dexed 29•66. The wind was east, and the weather wig
overcast, with snow and sleet. Every precautionary urea.
sure was adopted by the Royal Humane Society to pre-
vent persons from venturing upon the ice in the different
royal parks, but several thousand persons, male arid
fernale,,insisted upon going upon it, and several nearly
lost their lives by so duiiig, as the following official re-
turns will show.

THE SERPENTINE. AND HYDE PARK.— The banks on
each side of this river yesterday were densely crowded
by the members of the nohlty, gentry, and toe general
public, whilst the carriage roads were crowded by toe rich
equipages of the aristocracy. Upwards of 5,000 persons
ventured upon the ice iu this river, and several parties
amused themselves for hours in cutting out various de.
vices upon the ice, but the crowd congregated near the
best performers caused th.e ice to break, and the conse-
quence was that a gentleman named Dowell, who came
from Bromley, in Kent, to enjoy a day's skating, broke
through t:se ice, and, together with a friend who accom-
panied him, became immersed in 12 feet of water at the
east end of the river. Fortunately the persons were
rescued by William Co; one of the It lel Hu mane
Society's icemen, by means of the breaker ladders. They
were removed to the receiving•hetete, and after some
thee they were able to go home. During the af, ernoon
the ice commenced breaking up, owing to the thaw set•
tine in so rapidly, and by the persuaeion of Mr. Soper•
intendent Iti illiame several thousands left off skating and
sliding; but even as late as 8 o'clock last night a great
number insisted upon remaining, and ;n the event of the
frost continuing they stated that they intenthd to have
a grand pyrotechnic display and midnight match.

ral thousand members of the .nonility, whilst 2,000 dis-
ported themselves upon the ice, including severea excellent

terrace, however, fell on the ice and put his shoulder
out ofjoint. He was picked up by Joseph Knight, one
of the icemen, who placed him on the sledge and took
him ashore, when he was conveyed by some gentlemen
to his home.
THE REGENT'S-PARK.—A vast number of persons of
persons of both sexes proceeded to this park at an early
hour in the morning, to witness or to enjoy the exhila-
rating exercise of skating. No accident worthy of notice
occurred during the day.
The Victoria Park had many hundred visitors, who
disported themselves upon the ice, and several persons
got severely cut about the head, but no immersion of
any Serious character occurred.
CLAPHAM PARK.—The ice in this park was in a very
firm condition, and several hundreds amused themselves
upon it during the day ; and the only accidents that
occurred were to two gentlemen, wbo had their legs
broken by being tripped up upon the ice.
At half-past ten o'clock last night the thermometer
began rapidly to fall, indicating that the frost was likely
to continue.
