EFFECTS OF THE STORM.

EFFECTS OF THE STORM.
The City wore merry aspect yesterday In
spite of all the inconvenience and disappolnt-
mcn,s resulting from the Storm On all the prln-
cipal ,horoughfares stages on runners were con-
stantly PLYING to and fro, crowded to their utmost
capacity by people Of both sexes and OF oil con-
ditions. There certainly is inspiration in fine
seighing and bracing Northwestern, which puts
ill.humor at defiance. In the narrower and less
frecuented streets travelling is exceedingly diff
cult, and the sidewalks are generally much OBJ
struc,ed by snow and ice, which makes it neces-
snrv that the pedestrian should take heed lest
he fall"
The Brooklyn Ferries met with considerable
obstruction Yesterday from the ice. From until
o'clock, P NJ. there was no passing at the Full
ton Ferry The boat having approached within
speaking distance of the pier on this side, found 1t
impossible 10 come nearer. 1t is said that l5oO
people were assembled waiting for passage 1t
was hoped that change of the tide would enable
the boat TO land, but whether this hope was real
lied we did not learn.
The mails are still sadly out Of joint. The rail
track between Jersey City and Newark had not
been cleared at our last adyices, and the only
communication between the two clues Is by
seighs Two or three mails from the South are
still behind We have advices from Washington
10 Tuesday night, and we received last night, by
express, Il copy OF the Philadelphia Ledger OF
Yesterday morning. South of Philadelphia, the
storm brought rain instead OF snow; but 1t appears
from the letter of our correspondent, that the
mails from that quarter were deranged by it not
wilhstanding.
The steamer Neptune left Providence Wcdnes-
day at 6 P. NJ and arrived here yesterday al ii
A. NJ. with one hund,ed passengers. She reported
that there had been no arrvalfr Boston since the
commencement OF the storm, and that the snow
was foot and half in depth. There was much
floating ice in the Sound. She lett again tor Provl-
dence a, o'cock, P. NJ. yesterday
The passengers were detained at Bridgeport over
night. and until - O'Clock "Wednesday, no boat
having lett this city Tuesday morning tor
Bridgeport. The steamer Nimrod, Captain Brooks
left here "Wednesday, and on her arrival at Bridge
port, returned Immediately with the passengers
from Albany, and arrived here at 6 O'Clock, 2 NJ
We had no later advices than this from the North,
at the time OF going 10 press, though mail was
hourly expected!
From Boston We have papers OF later date
than Tuesday evening.
The Long Island Railroad is completely embed
ded in snow and can hardly be cleared for several
days.
The New-Hsven Herald OF Wednesday states
that the storm was enc of the greatest and sevcrest
that has visited tina, place for several years. The
three or four days preceding itwere intensely cold,
freezing the ground TO great depth, so tina, every
lake hatiell was accumulated upen It's surface.
The tide in the harbor rose 10 the almost unprece
dented high, OF Is inches above the top OF The Long
Wharf, but owing 10 the great body OF Ice, little or
no damage was done.
On Staten Island The roadsarc so blocked up with
snow, and the drifts so deep, that they entirely
impassible for either sleigh or any kind OF vehicle.
Until the people turn out with shovels 10 make
way, there will be no passage. The stages on the
Island are all stopped. Fortunately there sbut lii
tie ice in the riyer and but one vessel, Spanish
brig, at anchor She rode out the gale safely.
The Harlem Railroad has not been dug out, and
cannot be for several days.
IL The Country Newspapers appyise US OF a
practice extensively resorted 10 by publisher OF
this City which we dc not know whether TO char
acterize as the hight Of impudence or the depth
of baseneSs. The fellow sends his Circulars to
Clergymen, Merchants, &C. all over the Country,
advertising aud putting his publications, showing
those he addresses how they. can make money by
getting lot OF subscribers for his works, taxing
them with letter postage, and telling them that
they nay deduc, it from any money they may
collect for him, but that NO letters teill be taken
from the once unless roSr PAID Shade of Au-
sustus Tomlinson. shrink into thy original Moth
ingness There was never an impudent swlnd-

&C. Mr. RoRsRr GRANT gives course OF lee
lures on the Ethnography OF the human race at the
Society Library, commencing on Tuesday evening
next. Mr.. Grant contends thai the Negro and In
dian races are analogous the wild animal IN their
constitution, and incapable OF civilization. II Is
needless 10 say that we dissent altogether from this
theory. but have no objections to lis propagation.
Mir. Grant may state much valuable truth IN advo-
eating false theory.
