CIT Y ITEM 8.

THE JAsUARr THAw.-0ne Of rs-there are good
many OF us-one Of Us last Wednesday morning, being
thereunto moved by some soaeoing influence, did
write, print, publish declare make known and tel all
tie world and the rest of mankind that " the Jaa.
uary Thsw has at last begun with a clear ntimston
that It would continue, keep on, and finish thawng be-
tore II closed Ito thsvey TENN; for he said, wrote
and printed, that " II was mild at midnight, with q
prospect oil growing warmer" Perhaps 1t was and
perhaps II was also then and there that Yesterday
the snow melted pretty freely though the sun was OBJ
scured nearly all the time. 1t is equally true that the
sun has nd been obscured much OF the time, except
that time when it mild al midnight, and IS still
quite as true that the snow hiss not melted pretty
freely, except il brought close to big fire. II is
most emphaticaIy true that the January Thaw has
been postponed-indefntely postponed. As the Their
momeer stands now there is not the remoes prospect
that the snew will again, except it runs Ike
dry sand down hill The order of the Mayor and Po-
lice to cut out the cutters, which commenced upon
large scale, as econ notice that the th8w had
commenced was printed, was sn idle erder-the work
labor lostfor the thsw has not commemorative water
has not nun in the gutters-except TO fill and freeze
them sOid-the low streets and cellars have not been
OVERLOOKED and what is mere, never will be-uness
the weather changes. Heaven speed warmer term;
but time only can tell when II will reach here We
have had four weeks of seighing and the Their
mometer stood yesterday, shall have four more. Be
assured both town and country readers-the January
Thaw has not begun; or Il begun, has met frosen
end.
CoScERTs.-Of these there two last week by
notable artists. Mr. Gottschslk gave one of Spanish
and Cuban music, largely attended from the nation to
which il addressed, end successful in presenting
Spanish and Cuban melodies, workedup with brilliant
piano spray We have so often spoken of Mr.. Colts
chslks peculisrties-his eIactitude unimpeached-hs
passionate, poetically wrapped performance, which
places him directly plane with the great artists OF
Europe-that we need not indiyiduate bis merits as
TO his last concert.
The other concert was by that Manhattan celeb
rity-Mr. Kye-who plays the flute in style
thoroughly appreciated. Mr.. Kyle leaves the profess
sion nOw and the occasion of his farewell benefit
number of professional assistants and crowd of
professional auditors were present. Miss Bremen
showed her crcscent vocalsms to the satisfaction Of
the auditory. This young lady is from South Carolina
we believe, and is q pupil of SignOr Badali, who
has bad her in training for year two, giving her
the secrets of the only school of singing. The other
assisting artists ore known celebrities Of the fra
ternity
A complimentary concert, for the benefit of blind
boy, Michael McDermott to enable him TO support
himself in the city till his sight is restored to be given
at Hope Chapel this evening.
A meeting of the friends of Kansas will be held on
Tuesday evening next, at the Lyceum No. Is Laight
street, when Mr.. Henry S. Club will explain by dia-
grams the Octagon plan of settlement, and tho charac
ter of the Vegetarian Settlement Company, now pre-
pairing TO start for Kansas.
TESTIMONIAL TO Mr. GOUGH.-We are very glad
TO zee that some appropriate testimonial is about TO be
given to the services of Of most distinguished
Temperance advocates Men who do their country
service in other ways in the cabinet or the field,
not forgotten by our citizens. But who have done
more for their country than those who have stayed
the desolaODs Of ntemperauce' Besides, it is well
for the friends Of the great cause, ladies' and gentle
men, to minge together and show there can be great
social enjoyment without that which incl rates. Aud
as the .ough antarta,nment the 18th 10 to be got
up on the most hbe'"i oo'ii ""d sustained by music
and eoquence, it should surely, have no doubt
it will, attract full attendance--one that will do
honVr TO city.
REMOVAL OF THE II. 8. MARSHAL AND SuDGgs OF
THE U. y. CoURT.-In consequence of the negligence
of the last Board of Councilmen in providing ao-
commodatons for the judicial officers Of the u. 5.
Government for the Southern District Of New-York,
the T. s. Marshal has by directions OF the Secretary of
the Interior leased two houses, Nos and 10 College
place where these important fuuctionares will be To-
Gated after May next The site chosen is very neon
yenient being ten blocks from the Court Rooms, but
we hear that it is the best that could BIZ obtained:
Both branches Of tie Common Council will meet
this afternoon to commence the February session.
There no special subject Of much public import inoe
likely to be acted upon this month but there remains
much business Of an ordinary character, which will,
together with the confirmation of appointments, con-
sumo the time Of the session.
