The Chambers-street Thester where the persevering
| Mrs.. Mcmahon held forth had an audience Of nearya
| hundred.
The houses on the eastern side, the Miostrels, Ma
scum. and in fact all places where the people are
locked for were under the ban Of the Storm and pre-
sented, to use useful but sadly worn quotation,
"a besgary account of empty boxes.'

| IHE wILLnNSBURGH FERRIES
If the situation Of NEWCOMERS was unpleasant, the
people in the suburbs were absolutely suffering We
would not Ike TO say how many thousands of people
waded through the and breasted the fierce gale
to reach the ferries, in the hope Of getting to their
business But we do know that great many had tile
privilege of cooling their toes and warming tAer choler
for long hours in the feIy-houses. Only imagine the
pleasure of going home at night, tired and aded and
waiting three mortal hours in cold pg-pen at the fer
| nv. surrounded by crowd of anxious and sleepy
neople before boat arrives Then consider the perls
of crossing the river janming through immense ice
fields twisting and turning to the right and left, nov
advancing and anon reoediDg until the clip the OPP
posite side looms up aud you are almost ashore.
Almost-but not quite however, for the tide OF Ice
swings the boat around and another half hour wasted
in getting her up TO the bridge Finally exhausted aud
won out you get bed a. early morning, to rise again
at or Z and consume another two or three hours IN
returning TO business. Suck is the daily ant nightly
experience Of thousands who reside in Williams
! burgh and is lot improbable that this state Of
things will continue for long weeks to come Only
one of the Pcck.slip boats is fit for serycc-a the
rest being used up. That only makes trip about
once in two hours to Grand street. To judge from
the expressions of the afflicted people, the burgh
viii be nearly depopulated en- the lst of May.
The BROOKLY. FERRIES,
The only ferry line to Broosly which kept up regu
| lar communication on Sunday AMI Monday was the
Fulton. The boats this route are large and strong,
and with proper care managed to work through the
ice even at the worst tines Some OF the night trips
however were suspended, and few belated persons
Rad to wait three OF four hours Monday norneg
During the day ard evening yesterday, there was not
enough ice to give serious difficulty, onl trips we're
made with uniform regularity, though rather slowly
III VA NeitA ASAA4~'i ~
| Fulton boats have been immensely crowded.
The Wall street Ferry boats were laid up on Sun
day and so remained yesterday, the ice being too
troublesome for comfort if not for safety.
The Roosevelt and Jackson street Ferries followed
Wall streets example end hauled of, sending all their
passengers to Fulton street.
| At the South Ferry no boats were running, being
all snugly laid up in the slips They will start this
morning there is not too much ce The houses were
kept open aud warmed up yesterday for the comfort
CT their customers.
| The Hamilton avenue Ferry was in the same c)nd-
ton with the South and DO motoa looked FOX before
noon to-day.
FERRIES TO STATEN ISLAND.
From Saturday evening until noon Of Monday there
was no communication with Staten Island. About IL
o. NJ Yesterday, we understand, one Of the Staten
| Island boats the Hun,hback, unable to fed New
York in consequence Of the binding Storm and after
cropping about the North River for time, landed her
passengers al the foreign port of Jeraey City She
came over to New.York soon after, aud left Whitehall
for Staten Island at 4! p
Our ship news reporters say that two steau--1g''
the Huntress and the Hercules, were frozen IN at
Quarantine.
HOBoKES FERRY.
Great diff ,uiy was experienced on Monday morning
By the Hoboken-erry boats. The great danger OF
being jamued or crushed in between two fields OF ice,
prevented the Company from running their boats rom
), p. m. Sunday until O'Clock Monday morning Dur
ing Sunday night over hundred passengers, male
and female but principally Irshmen and Germans,
who had been spending the lay here, coHgresaed at
the feny house, waiting to De carried over TO iheI
homes. Many complaints were made, but the people
did not seem TO realize the danger they would subject
Themselves to by crossing the stormy night
