BY CABLE TO THE HERALD
LONDON, Jan. Is, 1879
The Times weather forecast of this morn
ing announced that the weather would be
unsettled, especially on the western and
northern coasts, with rain; wind veering
to the southwark and increasing in force. A
fierce gale began to blow this morning from
the south-southeast at Mullaghmore, on the
northwestern coast OF Ireland. In st.
Georges Channel moderate gale has been
blowing during the day. and the baron ct
rical indications are somewhat complicated.
There is evidently disturbance of
the extreme western coast of Ireland
where the barometer is falling rapidly. The
depression is apparently moving northeast.
This is q complete verifcation of the
warning forwarded by the HERALD weather
bureau on the 14th, as follows "A de-
preston is moving slowly across the
Atlantic, and will probably arrive on the
British and Norwegian coasts between the
18th and Goth inst. 1t may develop con-
siderable energy east of the thirtieth de-
gree of longitude" In the metropolis early
this morning rain fell, which, as the atmos-
phere became colder, turned to half frozen
sleet, and about nine o'clock this gave
place to snow, which continued falling
heavily throughout the morning. The
traffic in the streets is greatly impeded.
