New York, it appears that the amount of water
fallen in snow, hail and rain, in the four winter
months, viz December, January, February and
March, just past, 1857 inches, and largely be-
yond all precedent. In the four winter months of
the last twelve years, the average was 1885 inches
The greatest amount fallen in any previous winter
was in 1s49-50 viz: l4.65 inches; least amount in
1861, viz: 1902. The last winter exceeds the
average by 5.72 inches.

The RAILROAD WAR.-Our special dispatches, this
morning, furnish information of a new programme
IN the policy of the four Eastern lines The New
Y ork merchants complained, so it is stated that
under the operations of the st. Nicholas compact,
New ork lost largely in trade, because freig ghts
We're carried at lower rate from Baltimore to the
West, than from New York; and the New York
Central offers this as apology for its action in
breaking up that compact. 1t must be gratifying
to Baltimore merchants, to find that they are thus
recognized bv the business men of the METROPOLIS
as rivals: We had supposed that the latter regard
ed both Philadelphia and Baltimore, as suburbs of
their city. This was the view taken by the New
York Press. Now, however, these two sea-board
Cities are exalted to the position of rivals and the
New ork Central has issued a circular, announc-
ing that it will carry freights as low from New
Y ork, as the Baltimore and Ohio will from Balti-
more. The latter company, has met this movement
by corresponding reduction in its tariff and the
announcement in addition, that it will preserve at
any hazard, the difference in favor of Baltimore,
that existed under the st. Nicholas compact.
In this contest, the advantage of course is alto
gether on the side of the Baltimore and Ohio road,
it being the shortest line, and having at the same
time, the benefit of water connections which at
present, are fully equal to the lake connections of
the Central and even when navigation is suspended
on the Ohio river, the Southern road NAV STILL by
using the Cincinnati and Marietta road maintain
the ascendancy. Whatever effect this competition
may have upon the profits of the roads, it is quite
clear that it must advance largely the trade inter-
ests OF Baltimore and Cincinnati, by securing to
shippers at both points, all the advantages of the
shortest routes and cheapest modes of convevance
OF which they were, in great measure, deprived
under the exploded compact.

The Philadelphia Fugitive slave Cose

PHnADELPHIA, April 5-The fugitive slave case
was continued this afternoon and the excitement
was as great as ever. large police force was IN
attendance to preserve order. The counsel for the
defence moved that Commissioner Longstreth hand
the case over to another judge for the reason that
the Commissioner had prejudged the case and acted
as an advocate for the claimants, it having been
shown in the evidence that the Commissioner pro-
nounced the hrst power of attorney of the claim
ants as insufficient, and informed them he would be
obliged to release the slave if arrested under it.
and that by his advice power of attorney
was obtained.
Mr.. Benjamin Brewster, for the claimant, argued
that it was prominently the duty of the Commits
sioner to give this information before he issued the
warrant.
The Commissioner then overrued the motion.
