New YORK. MARCH 30,

Ma. EDIroR:-We have now an open seq.
son upon us, and the spring business has had
fair beginning. The winter has been long
and sharp, and no season for many years has
witnessed so much suffering, none so many
devices to relieve the poor and afford aid to
restitution. But the worst is past. The re.
vival of business and trade gives employment
t. many hards and tie sorrows of tie winter
will soon be forgotten. We are drawing near
the time when all New York is on the move,
all who move their dwellings at all, do so Oh
the first day of May. In passing through
New York, and looking upon the thousands
of houses placarded with 10 Let on them, it
would appear that all the people Of New York
were about to step out. But all houses not
rented on lease are rented from the first
day Of May; and soon after remain, and so soon
as tenant decides to leave in May large
handbill placed on the house indicates the res
oluton to all the city who take any interest
therein. The hotels of New York are as
changeable as private dwellings. The Irving
House changes hands this spring, a part of the
vast pile unknown as the irving House is to
be rented as hotel; and part OF it to be
separated and rented as u first class restaurant.
The Prescott House has been sold and to be
conducted as German House on the European
plan. The Aston House has been taken for
anumber Of years by Messrs Coleman and
Stetson on lease, and has just been put ip
most elegant repair, and will be for years to
come, as it has been in years past the leading
business Hotel Of New York.
TIE tragedy of Bill Poole who was shot at
Stanwx Hall in Broadway, promises to have
some influence in political affairs. Bill Poole
was Native American and member OF the
order of United Americans. He was hated
by men of his trade who took the Irish side OF
the question. 1t is affirmed by his friends that
his life was threatened by foreigners long be-
fore he was shot. His funeral and the great
display was on account of his being in the es-
timation of his darling friends political mar
tyr. His countenance has been Autographed,
his. dying words Il die true American" arc
placed beneath his picture. His biography
has just been written, and will have an immense
sale, and among the masses he will have great
political influence in his death; and as the
great writ of Habeas Corpus grew out of the
unjust confinement Of one of the richest men
10 England, perhaps the death of this blackleg
bully, and rowdy, may tell upon the next pres
identiaI election. -- ...s ......a

Business is really waking up among the retailers,
especially those who control the domain Of fashion.
Broadway is crowded with ladies', and the millineres
and dress-makersies are in state Of siege. Money
may he scarce in Wall street, but the shopping sea-
must be improved, and the fair danes and damoi-

wherewithal for French bonnets, aces, embroideres
