EXTRAORDINARY MovEMENTs.-Yesterdayw was our
annual moving day, vugarly yclept the first of May,
or May Day. This annual movement began on
Friday last, aud on Saturday the action began to
wax very wrrm; but the engagement did not be-
come general until yesterday.
To form some idea of the mount, extent, damage,
&C., of all these movements, we have at some trou
BILE and expense brought together the following facts
and statistics There are in this city 800 licensed
cartmen, to say nothing Of multitude OF wagons
and other vehicles upon which furniture is trans
ported. We will therefore suppose that Fridays
and Saturdays movements were really done on the
first OF May-and we will throw out of account 100
carts which might have been otherwise
gagged. We shall then have, at the lowest and safest
calculation, 5000 carts engaged all day in moving
furniture. The following table will now sufficient
ly explain Itself
Number of carts engaged, 5000
Say each cart took five loads 1900
On each load were moved six chairs 90 900
TO each load two bedsteads, $4,000
Number of people killed, wounded and freight
ened, and amount of human blood She'd Incaculsble.
Wives in passion, s75s
Paid cartmen, with extra help at 81 per load $50 900
Wear, tear, brskage loss and damage, at SIS per
Sundry expenses for cleaning, &c SC. &c, $4,000
Number Of quarters rent unpaid, at $50 per Dr. 10000
Total amount OF losses susainel this day, 100000
Such few Of the facts and statistics of these
extraordinary movements. The actual destruction
of property and incidental losses beneftting no
one, cannot fall short OF $4,000 The trouble,
vexation, anxiety, ill-temper fatigue, and distress,
are altogether ncalculable. So much for the plea
sure of moving on the first of May. There is one
advantage, however, which should not be forgotten,
people never know how much they are worth, and
how much property they possess, till they come to
| overhaul and move it.
MERCHANTS News ooMs, BosroN-One of the
most extensive and magnificent news rooms we
ever remember to have seen, is that lately establish
