ROUGH WEATHER. - TRAFFIC IN LONDON STOPPED.
A despatch from London, dated January 2nd, says the telegiuuhic broakdowu, which had lapied from the preceniocr Sunday, had been far more complete than the Post-office authorities were willing to acknowledge ; but sornptkiMS like the real t.ruth wan slowly admitted. The .storm of Sunday night cut London from the ouier world as completely as an invading army could have done it. Out ot 500 ejftetuH of wire, only pix worked. C"ommunic.\tion with tho Continent was earned oa by poat, and messages for America went by train to the Atlantic termini of tho o.ible*. Within London hardly a wire was standing on tho polet overheid, and the wiie-* all over tho south and west of ' ondon were pro»tratc(<. The streets or London aftoi a whole week's struggle with eight inches of tuiow, we:e barely po^ibie at date of dispatch.
