which was also the lowest point of temperature dunk_
the day, at three o'clock in the morning. During the
present year the lowest daily range of the thermometer
was 28 deg. at two- elock on the Ist ; 28 deg. at four
o'clock on 2d ; and 22 deg. at midnight, being the cold-
est point of the year ; 29 deg.• on the midnight of 3d ;
31 deg. at four o'clock on sth ; 24 deg. at four o'clock
on 6th ; 28 deg. at fOur o'clock on 7th, and 28 deg. at
four o'clock on Saturday. The average difference be-
tween the external temperature and that of the giraffe
house, varies from 26 deg. to 30 deg., and of the mon-
key house 28 deg. It may be interesting to remark that
within the corresponding present week and those of the
last fifteen years, the highest temperature at the Horti-
cultural Gardens, at Chiswick, occurred on the 15th of
January, 1834, when the thermometer was 56 deg., and
the lowest on the 14th, in 1838, when the thermometer
was 4 deg. Notwithstanding the continued frosts, the
Regent's Canal remains open for navigation.
ANECDOTE OF THE DUKE OF WELLING-
TON.—When his Grace the Duke of Wellington, who is
known to be a very early riser, was last at Windsor
Castle, upon a visit to her Majesty, the following inci-
dent occurred, affording another proof of the strict mili-
tary discipline so closely observed and practised upon
all occasions by' his Grace. - One morning, between-
seven and eight o'clock, the Duke, accompanied by his
youngest son, Lord Charles Wellesley (who was then in
waiting as one of the equerries upon her Majesty),
walked from the Castle into the' quadrangle, which he
was about to leave by the iron gate near the entrance to
the state apartments to proceed on to the North Terrace.
The Duke and his son, however, were stopped by the:
sentry (one of the 72d Highlanders) stationed at this spot, •
who stated that, his instructions were not to suffer any
person to pass from out of the quadrangle at that early
hour in the morning. Lord Charles Wellefley imme-
diately stepped -up to the soldier on guard, and said,
" You surely can't know who this is—it it the Duke of
Wellington, my father.' His Grace instantly responded,
" Pooh, pooh, nonsense ; let the sentry perform his
duty;",and returned to the Castle until the hour ar-
rived at which the sentry could suffer them' to pass out
through the gate in question.
Invitations have been forwarded to the Right

the chief members of the Government, to witness the in.
