• EDINBURGH, Dac.7.—The wrek was ushered in with
trost, M which was not so intense, or of such continuance,
as to produce ice strong enough for skating with safety.
,Yesterday forenoon, however, the lovers of this amuse-
ment, induced, perhaps, by the recollection of the short
continuance of last year's frost, resorted to Dudding-
stone Loch, not.in the least deterred by the danger and
insufficiency, and the very limited portion of ice•which
it was at. all practicable to venture upon. As might
have been expected, several accidents happened in Chet
course of the•day ; fortunately, however, none proved
fatal. Thaw set is yesterday afternoon, with thick
weather and rain. _

Early yesterday morning, the back parlour of the
house. of Mr. Yerebay, of R namond-streett Clerkrn *ell,
was. broken into and robbed of * considerable quant;ty
of wearing apparel, and - some gold coins: The shop
was also-entered; and the till tauptied of contents,
about fire pewits. .
