Hupsoy RIVER RAILROAD TRArrIc.-In 80 mild
Winter and with such quantities Of produce at the
West II might be expected that the business of rail-
roads leading in that direction would be proportion
atcly large But such is not the case. The passenger
business Of the Hudson River Railroad good but the
cigltng business is nconsderable although no boats,
except the Hero, are running to Albany. Several rea
assigned for so little freight offering. The
| Ncw-York merchants doing but trifng business,
and therefore cannot aid the railroad much There is
abundance of grain and other produce at the West,
hut the hold on to it, waiting for higher prices.
And beside much Of what is forwarded goes bv way
of New Orleans, the cost Of transportation i. less
hv that route. Most of the freight the Hudson
River Railroad now consists Of cattle.
TIE ALLEGED DEFALCATIoN IL THECoSTRoLLtRs
OrrICE-The investigation in regard to the official
,,;ycouduct If L Smith late of Mr.. ElaggS
clerks is progressing as fast as possible Thus far,
there is no evidence to show that the Treasury will
sur 10 the extent of dollar and the Controller does
not anticipate any, Mr. Smiths operations were of
different kind For example, he would make out an
assessment bond and deliver to Mr. Deyn, one OF the
Street Commissioners, iu payment for the full amount
of work done street contract whereas contractors
are legally entitled to only 10 per cent on Their work
when done In what manner Mr.. Devlin may have
reciprocaed such fayors is only known, probably, TO
those concerned. However a. a slight clue 10 the
foct. Of fine case the records of the Bowery Bank
show that Mr. Smhs note for - 600, ndorsed by Mr.
Deyln. was discounted by that bank aud paul by the
plorser. Under the most enent view, Mr.. flagg
thinks that his late clerk has abused his confidence,
having used bis official position for corrupt purposes
Az ENGLISH PILor on 4 BrsDER.-The Adriatic
on her ,homeward trip, brought the English Pilot
through to this port having been unable to transfer
him. He will return on Saturday in the Baltic, the
Company having to pay all his expenses and second
officers wages, with the right to pilot the ship INTO
Liverpool and bring her ont again. His brother Pilots
of New-York have taken him in tow while solourning
here. They located him at the Pacific Hotel and on
New-Years day put him behind ten horses to make
calls. " Bless my eyes" Gays Jack, 81 was ever
behind so many horses in my life" They took him
round TO great many places, md he was highly de-
lighted with his adventures. lie wanted to pay for his
drinks and he said it was not fair for to pay for all
He will 20 back under the impression that this city s
one vast bar.room on New-Year's Day, and he says
that it will be long day before he orgets the ho'p-
tality of Ncw.York and her Pilots.
An eloquent writer on crnolne in the columns OF
The Courier and Enquirer, who signs his letter with
the initials of Mr.. George w. Blunt gives some inter.
esng particulars scientific and poetical, concerning
this great subject We will make an extract
eff there is subject which understand, ii is the
comparative size of crinOlines. Finding, from my
daily experience particularly in omnlbuses that the
region of crinones was expanding, 1 nave devoteu
mysef to scientific investigation OF them, ana nave
ascertaned from careful measurements OF different
points, that the polar diameter OF the female sex haa
the same ratio to the equatorial diameter here, a.

To me in the omnibuses that lady would get in with
an ocean of crnone surrounding her, and in setting
down would be submerged in its silken waves O1

looked like Venus rising from the sea. This Is the
cause of my accurate knowledge
No doubt our fair readers will agree with us, the
scientific portion Of these observations conclusvely
demonstrates that the crnone Of this country just
