Mr.. EDIToR:-
We have constant complaints from every quarter
of the city about the filthy and ridiculous manner
in which the streets are suffered to remain. am
a resident in "Rose street," (but, assure you, .
flower by any other name would smell quite az
well,) street well located for keeping clean, al
small expense; and yet it is one Of the dirties
streets to be found, with the exception of that part
of it which is in the immediate vicinity Of the
worthy Mayors residence. But few days pre-
vious to the late fall Of snow, the laborers, o.
street-cleaners, as they are facetiousIy termed,
were employed in sweeping and raking the diit
and filth up into piles, which had accumulated to
very offensive degree, and there left to be scattered
about again by the wind and passing vehicles, until
the snow storm came and enveloped every thing
and now the street is impossible. Now, what are
we to do in such dilemma? The inhabitants on
the street will not go to the expense Of cleaning i
comfort but his own and am suffering for fuel,
and no cart can approach my house. If a fire
should occur in the street, every thing would be-
come prey to the devouring element

teruay, ana apparently without any dimlnutlOn In
number; Broadway, the Bowery, and other parts
presented as gay and animated an appearance as
at any time of the two previous days.
On Thursday, as one of the Harlem sleighs CON
tanning about 40 passengers, was driving along
Bowery, to avoid another that was coming in an
opposite direction, it ran into one of the large snow
banks and completely turned over, covering ever
one OF the passengers beneath it, Considerable
alarm was excited, and every assistance was
promptly rendered by the passers-by to release the
parties from their dangerous and uncomfortable
position, when it was fortunately found that nc
one was materially hurt, but many of them much
frightened than damaged. The sleigh was soon
righted and proceeded on its way as if nothine
particular had occurred.
About half past nine o'clock yesterday morning
as gentlman of the name of Bdde, residing in
Eleventh street, was crossing Broadway, near the
end of Broome street, he was knocked down by a
light sleigh, and dragged by il a considerable dis
tance ere the horse could be stopped, the animal
treading upon him several times. He was taken VI
quite insensble, his clothes torn in various paris
blood gushing from his head and mouth, and con.
veyed to Dr. Gray's, 496 Broadway, where his
wounds were dressed, and every attention paid
to him that was required. The gentleman, al
though very much bruised, we believe, was not SO
much injured as to endanger his life. He was
shortly afterwards conveyed to his residence.
The deep cutting on the Harlem railway was
completely hlled up with the snow that had fallen
on the previous days, so to entirely prevent the
line besng used. A number OF men and carts were
employed on Thursday and yesterday to remove it,
so that IT is expected that the sleighs belonging to
the company will be able to proceed by that route
to their destination this morning
There were several very narrow escapes yester.
day at the crossing Of Broadway between Fulton
and Nassau Streets but we did not hear of anything
very serious occurring.
