T. shs frozes air of cay and evening. and bifineing nn~ontsd dsso,ees so slseir spirit sal duties. h all dsaomniaiions an nhu- sual degree of fintercss ismanifsted. The Carnival seasoni is past. save that now and then an occasional evening lights up the banque.iins halls whose lights have almost fed. St. Valentines festival has fallen apon sonabre times. His worsaippefs have had their heart-beats chilled hy the biasts of Boreas who has worn out his welcome. The couplets of love and paieted gauds of liliesa are sadly out of accord with the ice and snow. The birds and the Cupids can not clasp the icicles with the Spring em- brace of love. The Dispatch Posts, and the groves are equally deserted, and must postpone their burdens of love until the warm Soath breathes an unclasping of their l Borean bonds, and bids free flow io their vernai notes.
 i The past four weeks have truly been q demonstration, ,(even as far South as Wash ingion,) of the fixed fact that < there is a North" Many of our hotels are suffering . realizing sense of it. Several have af- ready stopped their accommodations. The stream of travel has followed the general loss of fluids, and the stopping of it's gold en flow has closed their hospitable doors. Many will be grieved to. know that the once fashionable Irving has departed. Its comfortable accommodations are to find a local habitation" under some other name in the inevitable " uptown" The Astor alone
 remains of all the hotel glories of '.down town" Like the pyramids, it will doubtless long remain, it's glory frightened by its years. The Park in its front. will also soon disappear under the heavy masses Of marble which are soon 10 form the ornate pile of New City Hall of sIrpassing architectural splendor But we shall cease to mourn the eircumscribed idea in the en- .larged area of its successor.-the Great Central Park, which encioses TIC acres of hill and vale and wood land. For this great blessing the crowded dwellers of the city must justly owe their thanks to their brethren of the rural districts. The con. fic,ing interests of urban purses would never have unloosed the legal nets which have encompassed this Park, if the coun. try had no, sent us Daniel for a just judgment. Henceforth fashion will per. form upon two fresh air theatres. The walking gentlemen and ladies will sffec. Broadway, while the Central Park will be the great Hippodrome of upre, ten equestrianism. Milliners must consequent y be re-graded-,hose who design for per- ipate,ic Broadway, and those who study arts,ical carriage and saddle effects "You've made my dress .so long, ma am !'' said rou.ing beauty last week. "Im- possible, miss 7" replied the distinguished milliner. "How so !'' "See the pave- ment has worn off tho skirt!" "ln that case, Miss, am not responsible. You have walked! design only for those who keep a carriage!" Alas! poor Broad. way!
 Lest the above ho,el-note should be mistaken for puff indirect of our fast friend, Jack Frost, or the granite Astor. we must balance it with the following uarm gossip Of white marble rival. After an exact measurement it is noted as a fact in steam statistics that the St. Nj .holas ho- tel. and the stores under 1t are heated by no less than s,rty-one miles of iron steam pipes. Travelling cockneys may well be as,onished at the sPread-eagle ness of our
 mammoth hotels
 Our target armies gre shnt up in camp ny the snow, and have taken to severe course of dancing during ,he winter. The great industrial establishments have "pre- ,ermi,ted" their target holidays, and have given Terpsichor can paIiits to ,heir " ens. ployees" instead. Nearly all our'greaiicity workshops have thus minis.ered amuse-
 nenis to their toiling thousands. The great city-sensation of the past week was an occasion of this kind. Messrs. Singer X Co gathered some four thousand of ci,i- zens together at the assembly rooms 10 ball and supper. Although intended par ,icular'y for those who are engaged in ihe manufacture and operation of their Sewing l Machines, 1t wa. rather great national industrial fete. bringing together men of labor and mechanical science from all parts of ihe Union, and creditab to the taste and Iiberality of the Messrs. Singer, who made 1t free entertainment.
