TERRIBLE CONFIRMATION OF THE HERALD

TEMPERATURES WEATHER AT SEA.
[BY CABLE TO THE HERALD
LONDON, Jan IL, 1879.
The weather reports that are coming IN
the announcement of the exact fulfilment OF
the prediction sent by the HERALD Weather
Bureau, and tell of the extraordinary sever
ity Of the winter gales now prevailing
throughout the kingdom. A very heavy
snow storm commenced here this morning
the streets are almost impossible, so deep
is the fall. The Thames in this vicinity
is filed with broken ice, hindering the nav
igation of lighters and rendering the rum
ming of steamers almost impossible.
HEAVY SHOWS
At Plymouth it showed all last night. and
the high wind that prevailed caused the
snow to pile up in immense banks The
report from Dartmoor says that the snow is
so deep that the roads are rendered COM
pletely impossible.
TERRIBLE WEATHER ON TIE ATLANTIC.
furious easterly gale is blowing at
Penzance. accompanied by showers Of fine
snow that almost penetrate the flesh.
All the vessels arriving report terrible
weather in the Atlantic and Chan
mel. The Scilly mail boat is delayed
on account of the rough sea and high wind,
and it is the general impression that she
will not venture out until the storm is over.
The gale that blew at Cork during Thurs
day night increased to o hurricane yester-
day and demolished everything movable
in the harbor. Occasionally terrific gust
would come from the southeast, accom-
panied by binding drifts of sleet that
obscured the headlands from the view OF
those on the ships outside. The gale has
been the fiercest over Ireland, the Irish
Sea and the southwest Of England.
The STORMS ADVANCE.
The London Times says that, according
to the barometrica indications, a deep de-
preston was noticed off the southwest coast
of Ireland on the evening of the 9TH, which
was apparently moving in an east south.
eas,erly direction, while an anti-cyclone
still showed over Scandinavia. In Scot
land one of the heaviest snow storms that
was experienced for many years commenced
yesterday, accompanied by terrific south
easterly gales. The snow has drifted in
many places and is very deep. In the
| Highlands the temperature is extremely
low. Loeb Lomond is frozen completely
over. In thu South of Ireland the storm i.
more keenly felt on account of the intens'
cold that accompanies it. asa
SUSPENSION OF WATER COMMUNICATIONS.
The report from Liverpool states that the

stab, and still another compatriot

ANY one who entertains any
doubt that Tilden will be the next
Democratic nominee for President,
providing that he is alive and in
good health, has only to watch the
antics of the Associated Press to
have it removed. This institution
has commenced its old game of
bounding the sage of Gramercy
Park. Its latest achievement is in
the circulation of some idiotic va
carries of a Washington correspond
ent of the New York Tribune in
which Mr.. Tilden is represented as
saying that the Democratic candi-
date for President next year would
be the leader of forlorn hope, ow-
ing to the sblunders of Southern
Democrats in Congress, to South
ern reputation, condoned assas-
sinations in the South, etc., etc.
This is the merest twaddle. If Mr..
Tilden desired to retire from any
participation in politics he would
do so in a direct and manly way,
without insulting o section which
voted for him unanimously, or with
perhaps the single exception O.
South Carolina, which State, owing
to Federal "bull-dozing" Of a very
ostentatious character, may have
voted for Hayes. There is not an
iota of truth in the assumption
that Mr.. Tilden, under any circum-
stances, gave expression to senti-
ments so Numerically opposed to
his real views. All the interview
ers on the American continent
could not, by their collective cum
ming, induce this astute aud self
poised man to give himself away in
the manner represented,
