sharp, and no season for many years has witnessed so much suffering so ma ny devices to relieve the poor and afford aid to Restitution: but the worst is past. The revival of business and trade gives employ ment to many hands, and the sorrows of the winter will soon be forgotten. We are drawing near the time when all New York # on the move-all who move their dwell- ings at all do so on the first day of May. In passing through New York, and look ing upon thousands of houses placaried with "To Let'' on them, it would appear that all the people of New York were abont to step out. But all houses not rented on a lease are rented from the first day of May: and soon after the first of January landlords ascertain who intend to remove and who remain; and as soon as tenant decides to leave in May a large handbill is placed on the house indicates the resolution to all the city who take any interest therein. The hotels of New York are as chaneeable as private dwellings. The Irving House chan ges hands this spring, part of the vast pile now Known as the Irving House is to be rented as hotel; and part of it is to be separated and rented as first class res taurant. The Prescott House has been sold and to be conducted as German House on the European plan. The Astor House has been taken for number of years by Mes.rs. Coleman & Stetson on lease, and has just been put in most elegant repair, and will be for years to come, as it has been in years past the leading business hotel of N. Y ork.
 The tragedy of Bill Poole who was shot at Stanwix Hall in Broadway, promises to have some influence in political affairs.- Bill Poole was a native American and a member of the order of United Americans. He was hated by men of his trade who took the Irish side of the question. Itis affirmed by his friends that his life was threatened by foreigners long before he was shot. His funeral and the great display was on ac- count of his being in the estimation of his friends political martyr. His counten- ance has been Autographed, his dying words " l die a true Amefican," are placed be- meath his picture. His biography has inst been written and will have animmense 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 vilest men in England, perhaps the death of this black leg bully and rowdy may tell upon the next Presidential election.
 The hangers on of George Law, and they are many and hungry, are doing their best to bamboozle him into the belief that he has fair chance for the Presidency. With all his shrewdness he seems to have keen ap- petite for fattery, and he is surrounded by satellites who are willing to lay it on with a trowel if desired.
 The prohibltory liquor law still fingers ia the Senate and opinions are divided on thn subject of its final passage. know that forty thousand dollars are now in the hands of certain parties at Albany to be used as occasion may require. It is said however, that the temperance party have raised ssrge sum to be used in putting the bill through, and are ready to meet their anta- gonists with pecuniary as we'll as moral ar- guments. "When Greek meets Greek then comes the tug of war.''
 John Bulls project of raising "foed for powder" in this city is blown to the winds. The recruiting agents of the British Gov ernment finding that they were rendering themselves amenable to the pains and pen- aiues of our neutrality laws suddenly dis banded their dragged regiment" pulled up stakes and vamosed to parts unknown.
 " Ethereal mildness," the genuine arti- cle made it's first demonstration this season to-day. The temperature as write is bland enough for June and enincntly scporiffic
 Business is really waking up among the retailers, especially those who control the domain of fashion. Broadway is crowded with ladies, and the millinets and dressma- kefs ere in state of seige. Money may be scarce in Wall street, but the shopping season must be improved and the fair danes and demoiselles of upper tendon must be supplied with the wherewiihal for French bonnets, laces, embroideries, and the like, whatever may be the relative condition of she "bulls" and !" "bears'' on change.
 Our theatres and other places of amuse- menis arc reaping the benefit of .lle influx of country visitors. Apropo of tlIeatricals, who that carries heart behind his waist coat but has had it stirred and melted by the wondrous creations of Dickens We'll, last evening manager Burton presented to his crowded theatre in Chambers street, drama,ized form of his Dombey & Son, him. self personating Edward Culth, Mariner.
