CITY ITEMS.

After an uncxamped term Of suow-storrns and cold
cycles and fog and raps New-fork yesterday fairy
emerged from the chaos of mud and misery, and
baked beneath 8 VAIN, clear sky, in all the dreTJ
nakedness Of great city smidwintef Sunday. Not
more welcome to the storm-sick Columbus was the
shout Of Land no" from the masthead OF the
PDts than the bright presence of the sun as he rolled
up for the first tune in weeks un6immcd by fogs and
rap. and gave generous and weL-fulfsd promise Of
be,utiul dsy. One car not look back without shud
der upon the immense quartty Of bad weather which
the bsleful Influence of some wrathful Merriam has
crowded upon since the OF the Jdnu-
cry thaw. That meltiDg movement began on the last
day Of that month 1t 10 now the 23d Of February;
aid in the time have had about six weeks Of
rsn seven weeks and three days of fog two weeks of
snow, full three months Of mud and moderately pro-
iract.d eternity Of meteorological mtery, the very
cmsceric Of climatcs suffering. That eels were not
caught in the Bowery and chad In Broadway, was
probably owing to the disturbing Influences of the
submerged wheels Of omnibues those clumsy vehicles
bsvhg become propelers with the mere substitution
of horse pewer for steam And then the style Of rain
added mrerably much TO the universal wretchedness.
