THE LATE GALE, AND THE MAILS.

We were quite too fast in announcing on Satur-
day, the cessation of the storm which set in on
Thursday night. With the exception of little
interval on Saturday, the high wind continued,
with little Abatement accompanied occasionally
with snow, until Sunday morning, when it gradu-
ally subsidized leaving the river tight a drum,
and all the avenues to the city blocked up. The
mails, OF course, In every direction, were behind
(if we except those from BOSTON, until this morn
ng when received " one day later from New
York-the mail which left that place on Tuesday
evening, reaching the Post office here last nj ght
Passengers from New York OH Saturday, arrived
at the time, but the mails of Friday and Sa-
turday, which both left New York on Saturday,
had not arrived at 2 P. NJ They were brought to
Catskl by the North America, and lying on
the wharf at that place at O clock yesterday
ing For our extracts from N. Y. papers of Satur-
day indebted to passengers.
The North America which left this city on
Thursday afternoon had long and boisterous pas
sage down-aying to at Van Wies point that
night, and at Verplanck's point the next, and
reaching New York on Saturday morning The
Dewitt Clinton, which left New York on Thurs
day afternoon, came up, on Saturday morning, al
ter passage of some 40 hours, to short distance
above Athens, but was forced back by the ice to
Catsklll, where she landed her passengers.
The land mail from Hudson, which left that city
on Saturday morning, and due here the same
evening, did not reach here until Sunday afternoon;
tIlc SHOW uTiitS ROADS reHueTln6 them al
most impossible.
On the west side of the river similar obstacles
delayed the Catskill mail until late at night the
driver being compelled to dig road through the
snow. Several of the post coaches were over
turned, or broken down and abandoned by their
passengers, who proceeded on foot to the nearest
town.
For the disasters on the Sound and on the coast,
OF which we have probably but inkling yet, we
refer to our columns to-day. At Boston it will be
seen, the gale particularly severe-the wind
blowing shore or from the northeast. Here
the wind was from the northwest.
On the Hudson, the oldest mariners say that the
gale exceeded everything within their recollection
The Dewitt Clinton lay thirty-six hours, with both
anchors out few miles above Newburgh, unable
to stem the gale, and not daring to attempt to
reaching the shore. The river craft scud down
under bare poles. The N. A. did not venture, with
one or two exceptions, to make the usual landings
on her passage down. Several vessels reported
to be ashore, in the highlands, with considerable
loss of frel ght, among them one of the barges OF
the Emerald steamboat.-[ Albany Argus.

convenient place tits hoped that every town in the

FROM J.MAIcA-L Later dates from Jamaica have
been received at the Exchange Reading Room
There is no political of general interest. The
Jamaica House of Assembly convened on the Cd of
November. The following extracts from the Gov
ernors Messag &c may be interesting:
1T is expected that in the approaching season,
our staple exports will considerably exceed those
of late years"
"The Silk Company and the Copper Mine Com
pany are proceeding with favorable prospects
"Cotton has been produced sufficiently to show
that if it were not excluded by devotion to more
valuable articles or by insuficency of labor, it
might become an additional source of prosperity"
"The cultivation of tobacco on large scale, is
about to commence
"The relations between employers and laborers
appear to have arranged themselves on the natural
basis of mutual interests
"The want of continuous labor is still COM
planned of in some DISTRICTS but not generally
heretofore
"The general good conduct and orderly habits
of the people, and their improved feeling toward
their employers, are just grounds for unqualified
congratulaton."

BosToN AND ALBANy-rHE FIRST LOCOMOTIVE
THRoUGH.-Two locomotives, the Hampton and
Norfolk, reached Greenbush yesterday afternoon,
on experimental trip through from Boston
They left Plttstield yesterday morning, coming
through with ease, with the aid of snow ploughs
attached to the leading car, notwithstanding the
Instructions occasioned by the depth and drift of
the snow. 1t is understood that the passenger
train will be brought in this evening, the locomo-
tive returning for that purpose; and that on Tues
day two trains will leave this city for Boston,
a quarter before a. NJ and the other at ! p. NJ;
and that thus will commence the regular trips
the great and now completed railroad from Boston
to Albany.
The invitation of the Common Council of this
city, to the Boston municipal authorities, to unite
in the celebration of the opening of the railroad be-
tween the two cities, has been accepted; and on
Monday next, the 9th inst, the latter will visit
Albany. On the principle, doubt, that it is
wise that good things should be reciprocal, it is
derstood that our city authorities will return
the visit of their Boston friends on the next day,
the 20th.-[ Albany Argus.
