THE Storm. 1t commenced showing
yesterday morning, sitting down as
through pretty fine sieve, and kept on,
harder and harder, through the day. with
more and more wind. AS we returned
from tea, the winds, five or six Of them
at least, were tossing it into each other s
faces at about the widest rate. They
had got barbados across the streets,
and in all directions, as high as pretty
large boys head, and were snowballing
around the corners, having scraped the
| streets clean in many places. Go which
way you would, you took whole volleys
ofsnow right in your face and eyes, no,
to speak of the whalebones of people S
umbrellas, bewildered caps, buses and
other such like meteors. just then the
devil, in human shape, got up an alarm
OF fire; the bella rang the harder because
no body knew where the fire was, and
it was such an awful night. We met
several engines, some going one way
and some another, but some of them not
gong at all, being stuck in the snow
drifts. 1t wanted only 800 wild geese
turned loose to sing treble with the bells,
to make a scene Of considerable Devil
derment.
AS to the mails, we guve them up, at
once. Wo TO tho ships! How would
you like to be reeGng topsails in such a
storm? We expect to hear of horrible
disasters on our inhospi,able coast -

FRoM MEx1o. We published yester-
day news which went TO show TINT Santa
Ana had surrendered, and that the
revolution was over. Since that publ
cation the official notice OF the surrender
has come to hand 1t is merely bulle-
tin Of Santa Ana's, requesting cessa-
tion ofhostilities for the purpose of nego
tiation, IN order to spare the efIusion Of
blood He ordered his troops TO retire
to the town Of Amazoc and there await
the result Of the negotiations set on
foot.
The impression seems to be, that Santa
Ana is making friends by money or 9th
erwise, even among his enemies, and
that these bulletins and protocols are but
feints to enable him to get off out Of the
country, or to gain time in order TO re-
faae the supreme power.

, Besides this, we have a proclamation
from Gen. Pedro Gracia Condo, dated at
National Palace, Mexico, Jan 10Th IAN
nouncing to the Governors ofall de part
ments and mayors of cities, the submis-
sion of Santa Ana, &C., but urging the
greatest vigilance, and warning the peo-
pie of the army to be ready for any I'M
forseen emermency. And also a des,
patch from Gen. IncEan, Commandant Of
Puebla, to the Commandant of Vera
Cruz dated 18th Jan. The former eau
tons the latter to beware of Santa Ana's
protestatlons Of humanity, which are on
ly the result, he says, OF disappointment,
being driven from Puebla four times in
succession, and sustaining heavy osses
at each defeat. Santa Ana march upon
Vera Cruz, when least expected, is, he
thinks, an event TO BIO guarded against

CRASH OF New BUILDINGS We Learn
from the CommercIaI, that row of twcn-
~ lhree>s.ory houses on Twenty sixth
street, Between the 9Th and 9Th Avenues,
fell about half past on Tuesday after
nooo, borne down by the force Of The wind
and the weight ofIhe snow that had accu,
muIa'rd upon the roofs and floors. Oh
some of The houses, perhaps six or eight,
the walls Of the first and second stories are
yet Standing, bu! HE others are down be-
low the floor of The second story.
The houses had only their fronts and
two sides VI; the rear wall not having yet
been commenced, and this was undou bed
~ the cause of the disaster. The snow
blowing in from the Northeast which was
the open side, was piled upon the floors,
and the wind had full sweep upon the from,
and side walls as upon The sails of ship.
The workmen very fortunately had lief.
the buildings at dinner time, and had not
returned fuding it too cold to work.
The houses belonged TO Commodore
De KAY, and We understand the loss is
covered by insurance in two offices.
The builders, MesSrs. RosseiI and Ste
phens. with an energy for which they de-
serve great credit, have from fifty 10
hundred men nj work this morning, des.

severity ill yesterday morning, aud in a

judged that something like eighteen inch

with high wind, it is thrown into heaps

LEGAL.
FINNEY's LESSEE Us. HARDING


 The question in this case arose on the act of l794, chap. p, commonly call the statute of descents. The precise point de- termined has not been heretofore adiudicated ill the courts of Tennessee. It IS this land descended from mother to an only daugh- ter-the husband of the mother married a second wife, by whom he had daughter after this, the daughter by the first wife died and the land was claimed by the daughter of the second wife as heir-it was also claim ed by nephew of the first wife-the lessee of the plaintiff. Harding, being in possession under a purchase from daughter of the se- cond wife, was sued. It was determined that the daughter of the second wife was heir to the daughter of the first wife, 10 the exclu- sion of the first wife's nephew. Or to state the decision more generally, it was held, that, when lands come by descent, brother or sister of the half blood, though not of the blood of the acquiring ancestor, is to be pre- ierred as heir to more remote collateral relations, although the latter may be of the blood of the acquiring ancestor.
