THE WEATHER.

In consequence of the recent thaw, the rivers flowing into the
Frith of Forth have been considerably swollen,which, operating.
along with the spring tides, has occasioned it to overflow its usual
flood-mark in various quarters. This has been particularly ob-
servahle in the neighbourhood of Seafield Baths, it the east end
of Leith Links, where the main road runs close along the margin
of the Frith, and where the floods deposited great quantities of
sand and gravel, in the removal of which a number of hones
and carts were employed the whole of Thursday and Friday.—
Immense quantities of broken ice have passed through Leith har-
bour; but without doing any material damage.—Ellin. Coward
GLASGOW, FEssuAtar s.—Upwards of a hundred men are
employed in clearing away the snow in various parts of the
town. The coaches which usually run between Edinburgh and
Glasgow have been altogether stopped, and on several occasions
obliged to return, after. a vain attempt to get forward on their
journey. The Edinburgh mail-coach reached .Shotts-moor with
great difficulty, where it sock fast. Wild animals, and birds of
every species, have become remarkably tame. At Christian-
bank, near tirling, a blackbird perched on the band of a ser-
vant-girl who was feeding fowls, anci seemed glad to exchange
liberty for food. Ile remained contented is the house, and •
mate, it is-supposed, keeps flying about the house. On Wednes,
day morning the thermometer stood, in an exposed situation, at
12 below freezing, and last night at 14. We are happy to say,
however, we have not heard that any lives have been lost,
th,nigh the storm is thought equal to the very calamitous one
which took place about fifty-live years ago.
It is greatly to be feared that Many lives have been lost : al-
ready, in clearing the.roads, the bodies of four persons have been
found dead in the snow, viz. one jeung man, on the Osirhant
road, and a made, woman, and cWW lying together; on the,
Morpeth road. . • • ' • - " •
