Yesterday the snow was in fine order for sleigh

were rude-some very small and light, others
were rough. massive and capacious. OF thi"
last was one drawn by team Of six mules
crowded with passengers. The climax of the
seighing pastime, however, was a boat, on
slides, drawn by team of eight, which the humor'
lists of Rockets got up, and in which, with Tag
and gong, they numbered through the streets.
Thus, the day passed merrily enough.

British Observation-Disclosures.

The various British periodicals, of which Mr..
Woodhouse is the Richmond agent, are furnished
upon very liberal and accomm odating terms The
whole tive, that is, Blsckwood, the Edinburgh Re.
view, London Quarterly, Westminster and North
British, can be had for ten dollars. 1t is true none
of these periodicals accord with Southern opinions
on slavery, but If the South will not sustain il
own periodicals, it cannot expect to find magazines
elsewhere congenial in all respects with its sympa
thies and views. Such being the case, it will make
its selections abroad with reference to the literary
value Of rival periodicals. and tried by this stand
ard, the British magazines and reviews are i'm.
measurably ahead of any thing in the United
States. The Edinburgh is the exponent of the
Wing party the London Quarterly, Tory; West,
minister, ultra iberalin politics. but supposed to be
rot orthodox in religion North British, organ Of
the Free Church of Scotland; Blackwood, devoted
to classical literature, and politically, Tory.
