GREAT Snow STORM IN ENGLAND.-The
snow-storm in England, of the Sd, 4th, and 9Th
january was almost beyond precedent. Writ
ing of London, the Morning Chronicle says:
at is currently stated that any longer con.
tinuance of the present inclement Weather will
entail the alarming probability of failure in
the supply of gas for the metropolis The con-
dition Of the river below London-bridge is now
such that the coliers in the pool cannot dis
charge their cargoes, the barges being in al
most every instance frozen in or so jammed
up as to render it impossible to carry on the
ordinary operations. The directors Of several
of the leading gas companies met yesterday for
the purpose of determining what was best to
be done under the circumstances. No decis-
ion was arrived at, and the only hope seems
to be that the severity OF the weather may mod
crate. The price of coal, we need scarcely
add, is almost fabulous" .s.@-"s.
A telegraphic despatch from Manchester,
dated the 9Th instant, says: "There is no ex-
press train from here to London tonight, as
the line is closed by snow. No London papers
have arrived in Manchester to-day. The train
which should have brought them is embedded
in the snow between Crewe and Stafford, nor
has any train arrived here from Birmingham
or London since the early mail this morning.
"All traffic on the Bolton line is stopped; and
the: cast Lancashire line is blocked up beyond
Bury. The traffic on the Manchester, Sheffield,
and Lincolnshire line is stopped at Guide
bridge; and three luggage trains are imbedded
in snow at Glossop-one on the Stockport, and
one on the Staleybridge branch. The north
Staffordshire line is blocked mp at Macclesfeld.
The snow in some places on the line is said to
bs sixteen feet deep In many places in Man
chester it is yard deep. The snow fell all
day, with fierce wind from northeast by east,
but ceased to snow about 8 o'clock at night,
and the wind fell ut 10. Several accidents re-
ported. The snow was eight feet deep between
Retford and Newark; the line of course was
impossible. The Midland and Lincolnshire
train got snow-bound. All the lines, i'll fact,
were impassable." .

pendous exertions Of the Emperor Of Russia,
who has set the whole army of his empire in
motion, has forty ineofbattle ships in com
mission, has raised four millions and a half of
money from the church, and commenced ope-
rations on a scale worthy Of the campaign OF
Moscow.
But no one will complain that Great Britain
has been less violent and precipitale in her de-
monstrations of hostility, partly from her re-
luctance to surrender the last hopes OF peace,
and partly from just confidence in that power
which has never yet failed her. The admiralty
has constructed feet Of magnificent ships,
armed with all that modern science has done
for navigation. We trust that young, able,
and energetic officers will be selected to com
mand them and we venture to affirm that,
with good ships, good officers, and good treat
ment, the blue jackets will not fail to do their
