Moving Day In New York.

The anniversary Of confusion trouble dust dirt and
noise took place yesterday and celebrated as it
usually is by the ridden compelled-tomove citizens
Of Gotham From the rising to the setting Of the SUM-
every street lane alley, highway and by-way Of News
York the Of much confusion disorder and
trouble, prevailed at Babel when the inhabitants Of
the earth very suddenly deprived of the power Of
conversng with each other because Of their mpey In
erecting tower by of which they fooshly pre-
sumed to reach the abode of the angels on high.
We doubt very much whether the confusion that was
exhibited in our city yesterday not even greater
than what prevailed Mt Babel at that memorable period
To be sure the confusion of tongues not great
albeit it great enough-from the squalng Of the
infant in arms, to the MISUNDERSTANDING OF the
matron of 80 the confusion Of furniture-of
sofa bedsteads, chairs tables crockery fddles fiddle
strings glass ware pipes kettles and pans articles
which the architects of that great pile innocent Of
more than made up the difference.
The above engraving will give faint representation
Of hundred Of similar kind that occurred here
Yesterday On the right hand side is Of the
numerous carts that broke down with the household
gods of family, which, according to New York usage
found their place of residence for the year 1886
what inferior to the they had selected for 84 On
tho left hand side is family removing all its
effects from the Boston rocking chair down to the ur-
chin years It is the last load of that family and
it will be seen that the cart contains little Of every
thing--the scrapings Of the house.
The amount lost by tinerant tenants yesterday was
probably much any former LIST Of May. The
sum can be guessed at after little trouble We have
made calculation which we think is the truth,
containing the expenses Of every kind that these tenants
have been subjected to in consequence Of moving
The number of families not less than 5000
The carriage this number at 81 each s 900 90
The amount of damage to furniture, say S6 to
each family 49,. $4,000 90
The damage crockery looking glasses &C.. s2o5 90
Wear and tear Of body. -. ........ 1928 80
Wear and tear of conscience 10000 oaths, at
the price charged by magistrates, viz ls. $500 90
5000 rents in breeches $500 90
Articles lost from the carts .......... $500 90
Grand total Ss5,334 90
This is the sum expended one way the other, or
lost in the way in the city Of New York the first
of Mny ls47 This estimatewe acknowledge, cannot be
relied upon for exact accuracy-it may be few cents
over cents under the mark but it is enough
for all purposes.
This is q tremendous sum, but the samo amount will
no doubt be expended in the way the first Of
May, ls4s. Thus VIC go.
