A CROWDED CTY.-We never, the New
York Herald remarks, saw New-York so
crowded in its hotels and public houses, as
during these days. The length and sever
ity of the winter have thrown all the usual
causual visiters of that season into the
spring, and filled our hotels from cellar to
garret. The principal hotels generally
turn away from fifty almost every nigt.
These travellers have, frequently, to drive
round town for a couple Of hours, visiting
half dozen hot tells in their pergrinations,
before they find shelter for the night.
These crowds of visiters fill our concert
rooms, theatres, and all public places,
night after night.
