The steamship Baltic, due at this port from Liver
pool had not made her appearance of Sandy Hook
up to late hour last night The weather was quite
thick and rainy outside.
The telegraph reports that heavy snow and rain
storm has been raging for the last two days on the
Atlantic seaboard, from Washington to ST. John,
N b. To the north of MS, STOW has fallen profusely;
but In this city and to the south of u.s. rain has pre-
vailed extensively. II world be difficult to conceive
of more dreary and dismal Sunday than yesterday
was in New York. The rain, which was incessant,
was in those fine small drops that seem every mo-
ment about to melt into mist and which
have the peculiar and unpleasant property
OF thoroughly saturating every article of clothing
in the shortest possible space of time. The streets
were almost entirely deserted, and the churches pre-
sented beggarly account of empty pews. During
the day quite gale was blowing. We hear of no
disasters at sea- except that to the propeller Bow
man, from Norfolk to New York which went ashore
on Deal beach; her crew were saved and the vessel
will probably be got of.

OF reforms to the new directors was adopted, and
the meeting persistently refused TO pass vote OF

ceedings will be found to be interesting, including
the appended correspondence of the committee with
Erastus Corning. President of the road.

have an authoritative confirmation Of what was pre-
vousy well understood, namely: that the affairs of
the Trust Company have been managed, or rather
mismanaged, that it is utterly impossible to make
any ineligible and satisfactory report concerning
them
