The Weather.—Since Wednesday the weather has been marked by one unvarying characteristic, namely, frost of considerable intensity. In the mornings it has been very severe; but yesterday forenoon the sky cleared up beautifully, and the sun shone during the whole day with a warm steady glow, under the influence of which the traces of the late severe weather began rapidly to disappear. The mantle of snow which overspreads the surface of the country must have proved so far beneficial in protecting vegetation from the blighting effects of the frost. We learn from various quarters, that the wintry aspect assumed by the weather this week was of simultaneous occurrence throughout the country generally. -  Assembly Rooms.—We learn that arrangements have been completed, by which this elegant building will shortly undergo a complete renovation, under the direction of Mr. Mitchi oa, Buchanan Street, the lessee.  Suicide.—Yesterday morning, about six o'clock, a young man named Forsyth, a plumber, belonging to this city, leaped off the south end of the Accommodation Bridge into the Clyde, and was instantly drowned. The body was recovered shortly after ten o'clock forenoon. - Sudden Death. —On Thursday afternoon, a female named M'Grouther, entered a spirit cellar in King Street, ordered, and partook of, a glass of whisky, and almost immediately after died on the scat on which Bile had just sat down. The deceased was about 47 years of age, and said to be somewhat intemperate in her habits. The Linlithgow and Stirlingshire Fox-hounds meet at Stonebyres on Monday the 23d inst., at Corset Hill Toll on Tuesday the 24th, at Chesterball on Friday the 27th, and at Castle Craig on Saturday the 28th—each day at half-past ten o'clock.  West of Scotian'? Junction Railway.—The following information regarding the relaxation or recall of the objection urged by the Admiralty, to the passing of this bridge over the harbour of Glasgow, has been receiveclfrom a gentleman who is at present officially engaged in Lonitoni--" awing learned on Saturday, that the Admiralty were likely to relax, if not wholly to recall, their resolution not to permit the erection of the proposed West of Scotland Junction Bridge, we prepared a short statement of the case for Lord Ellenborough, and asked an interview with him for to-day (Tuesday the 17th). He received the deputation very well; but after hearing all they had to say, he stated that, although his own opinion was against the bridge, he did not think, on I mature consideration, that the Admiralty should prevent the bill from being considered by the committee. We are thus left to oppose the bill on our own resources, and we are making every preparation to resist the measure in cora-1 mittee."  The Brazil Mail—Falmouth March 16.—The Petrel packet, Lieutenant Creser, arrived early this morning from Rio de Janeiro, with mails, from whence she sailed on the 31st January. Freight about £9OOO, of which £7500 is from the St. John del Rey mines. This vessel brings no mails or news from the River Plate, nor any political news from Rio de Janeiro. Lachance, which on the 17th January was 27, had fallen to 26, at which about £140,000 had been done. Stock had risen from 72. to 74, at which there were no sellers. Bullion, both silver and doubloons, had advanced considerably, from a limited supply and an active demand for foreign squadrons, and for export to the south and River Plate.

Some of the railway companies, who have failed in getting in the half-crowns, and such small sums, as fast as they desire, are pertinn e'en. in their endeavour:, and eive the delicate hint to the defaulters that their names will be he,erted in the London and country papers, care being• taken to select journals published near the residence of the parties. —Times.
