The whole range of Clwydian hills, in Che'shire,
have assumed the appearance of December; they are
covered with snow, in some places to a crlisiderable
depth. The weather has been very gold, an/through:

rain and sleet. This atmospherical visitation, in the les*
week of April, is certainly somewhat extraor.linety.
Yesterday afternoon a carriage, in which were a
lady and two children, was overturned with consider-

be dangerous.

ANN Moons, T 1; r. FASTING WO M A Wed-
nesday last, about two in the afternoon, pursuant to
the regulations adopted by the Committee, the watch
commenced on Ann Moore, of Tetbury. The room
was examined with the nfost scrupulous accuracy by
the Committee, and the three Gentlemen (Sir OswAEn
MOsLEY, Dr. GARLIKE, and the. Rev. LEIGH Ricu-

moNo), mho undertook the first watch, and who were
satisfied that no kind of food, either solid or liquid,
was or could be secreted in any part thereof. A new
bedstead was provided, a new bed filled in their pre.
sense, and every article of the bedding searched with
the utmost minutenesl. The removal of her persona
from one bed to the other was closely watched ; after
' which, at her own request, her person was examined,
and every possible satisfaction afforded, that no col-
lusion could have taken place in any part of the trans-
. *
action. Not a single article of any kind or desci ip-
lon remained unexplored ; and when the business
of search and removal was concluded, no doubt was
left upon the minds of the parties present, that she
u as entirely deprived of food of any kind, or the means
of access to it. • A barrier is placed across the room,
within which the watchers alone occupy their statiln,
and prevent all access to the woman, which could lin.
Tlicrte her in the smallest share of suspicion. Va.
'rious regulltions are rigidly adhered to, in order to
conduct this watch in such a manner as to s.itisfy the
public mind as to the truth or falsehood of her pre-
tensions‘ Her bedstead is placed upon a weighin
machine, constructed with peculiar accuracy, in or-
der to ascertain the variations of weight during the
period of the watch, which has been uninterruptedly
continued from the 21st to to the 27th ult.
