Extract of a letter from Dublin; dated January 25. •
.....“ I do not, know when tf.is will reach you, as the
Holyhead road is'closed. There were five mails due
at the Held when iikinner sailed yesterday. The roads
here are still impassable, at least for coaches : 1,700'
bags of letters were due from the different inland,.
towns; but those are now reduced to 700. The distress
to the mercantile world was inconceivable. I am told
one Notary Public protested 400 biljo in one night— '
some of them on most respectable houses. In fact, the • '
people in the country dd not write, as they think the risk
is so very great. bffast• of ;be mails have come in on
men's Shoulders—they now come on horseback.—The
Mails for Belfast and Enniskillen left the Post Office
this morning, in coaches, for the first time since the
snow. Six coaches came in from Naas on Satin*,
day—four of them were upset—The streets are im-
passable, most of them completely blocked up, the
snow being seven or 'eight feet;—however, th;ets
feet of this has been' ruede by the snow. from the
foot-way and tops of the houses ; indeed, the nar-
row
streets, I am sure, would not be free in
.two
weeks, if the thaw was rapid. The oldest person has
no recollection of halt the quantity of snow falling in
the time. Some medical men venture out in carriages,
bet those get upset, as -there has been no attempt to. .
'clear away the snow. When the thaw comes it 'will
be even worse for some time. _
