In eensequenee of the violent gale the tides fe the East and North rivers were much bigber than usual, aed on the East river the water overfiowed the bridges. The boats were compelled at one time di night to suspend their trips. There isa large quantity of ee in the Hudson. The echeoner Golden Cloud, of Visalhaven, went ashore on Sancy Hook om Moadsy, at four o’closk P. M., while attempting to enter the bay during the violtat snow atcrm, The crew were saved, and the vessel is in good condition, and will prebably be get off without mach damege. The echooner Johm R.

FOLLOWING DRaF’ MAILED aT ‘Sbous the j0sh inst. mot. to arned agains Extent of Country Embraced im the Sterm, do, &, &, Our city was visited yesterday by cue of the most se- vere snow storms which has beem experienced here for several years past. Indeed, wedoubt if it was exceeded even by the gteat storms of 1843 and 1846. It eom- menced about half-past two o’clock on Monday afteraces, and continued without intermission through the night, till seven or eight o'clock yester jay morning. The wind, from the beginning of the storm to ita termination, blew ‘a violent gale from the northeast, the drift of the storm iteelf being directly from the southwest, marching on- ward, apparently in the face of the wind, and at the rate of twesty-five miles an hour. Thus, the storm com- ‘at Washington at about eight o'clock in the morn- "| ing, a Philladetphis at eleven, in this city at helf-past two P. M., and im Bostom at nine o’clock P.M. Tats seeming conflict between the wicd snd the course of the storm may be aecounted for om the theory of Prof. Espy, which is, that while every great storm is borae along on am upper current of air, it cisplsces the current immediately beneath it. In some parts of the city the snow drifted to the height of five or six feet, but the average depth did mot, we should jadge, exceed eighteen inches. The wind in its violence awept it in clouds through the streets, reminding one of those flerce sand storms which occur in the deserts of Africa, In some places it drifted to the height of five or six feet on the sidewalks, blocking up doorways, and presenting a formiable barrier to the oceupants, while other portions of the streets presented their usual coloring of dusky brown, The average depth of the snow we should judge was about eighteen inches, but it formed or was drifted into bills five or six feet high on atreet corners, o¢ on the aidewa's, where it was blown by the violence ef the wind. Tae storm of Monday night will Jong be remembered by our citizens for its flerceness. The howling of the wind at times was terrific, reminding one ef the shrieks of the doomed described in the ‘+ Iaferno’”’ of Dante, and ogain resembl pg the wailing of mourners by the grave of the departed. In the morning, however, about oight o’olock, the storm had cea: sd, ‘and soon after glimpses of the blue eky oould be seen through the Gispersing clouds, The terrors of the night seemed to be forgotten in the bright prospects of the day, and at an early hour the atreeta resounded with the merry music of the aleigh- bells. The snow, which is always a welcome visiter when it indulges the ‘nsatisble desire for leigh riding, was welsomed with more then usual enthusiasm, altheugh the presence of its rather more bois- terous sad unroly companion could very well have been Gispensed with. It is almost meedless to say that the aleighing propensities o: our people were in- dulged to the utmost, for everything that could be ob- tained with runners upon it was brought into requisi- tion, Butas this formed @ prominent feature in the scones of the day, we must speak of it by itself. THE SLBIGHING. Broadway was, as usual, the priacipa| point of attrac- tom im the city. Sleighs of every :ize and escription, from the heavy demeoratio/stages, with their merry laugh. ing orcwda, to the aristocratic two horse cutter, crowded i$ from an early hour in the morning till late at night, ¢ | The stage sleighs wore throaged both inside asd out; but 4 08 these vebicles are mover considered full, am idea of : outer the hendot _ | driver or paserngers. the usual question of “All nag: inorvared by the onelaaght of oo torn was 4 whe amused themselves by snowballing the occupants. Hats were bnocked off and ecats whitened, to the sancyance 0 the wearers and the great amusement of all others. We eaw one bandsome beaver spoiled by a well directed snow ball; but it was an excellent jcke for every one but the owner, We have not, however, heard of any accidents, although there were many cases of reckless driving. Ia ‘a race bet ween two sleighs coming down Chatham street, one of them ran on the sidewalk next to the Park, and the harners of the horses became entangled in a lamp pest. The ladies were somewhat alarmed, but ne one, we be- Heve, was injured. Some faceious icdividaal, much to the annoyance of the driver, wanted to know if he was going into the Park, aud suggested that it would be much eater to enter by one of the gates than to attempt toclear the railings. After a fewminutes delay the stage started, but ats long distance from its rival. ‘The sleighing, as we have said, was kept up till e late ho@# last night, but, judging from the condition of the streets, it connot last Jopger than one or two dags mere. THE MAILS AND THE EXPRESSES. The Southern mail which was due at 10 o'clock on Monday night, ¢id mot arrive before 2 o’elook yesterday afterncon. ‘The Boston mail, due at 1 o’clock yesterday morning, arrived yesterday afternoon at half past 1. The mail from E:ie was delayed several hours beyond ts regular time. ‘The expree:es were 21:0 detained by the storm. All of Hornden’s were behind, with the exception of those from New Haven. The delays to the different expresses were caused by the detention of the trains, which we have no- ticed elsewhere. EFFECTS OF THE STORM UPON THE RAILROADS. ‘The tracks of the city railroads were completely buried im the snow, and the cars did“ not ran yesterday. Asa large force of men have beem se} to work in clearing them, the cars will probably be ranzing some time to day. On Monday night, one of the cars was stopped in West Broadway, where the homes were detached from it, and it was left till a free passage can be cleared. Toe Philadelphis malt train which leftat6P. M, on Monday, 1d not reach Jersey Olty until one o’clook yes: terdey afterooom When it reached a point one mile south of New Brunswick, at 10 o’clock at night, it became fast in a snow bank, and there remained until 10 o’eleck yesterday morning. About one hundred passengers were on the train all night, and could get n0 refreshment daring the twelve hours of delsy, as 00 dwellings were near, and the storm raged with great severity. Railroad men and locomotives from New Brunswick, vere at work all night im getting to the train to extricate it. The mail traia which left Jersey City at 4 o’clock yesterday mornisg, was the only one that went out during the forenoon to Newark, The track was cleared by noon, and the trains went regularly in the afternoon On the New York and Erie Railroad, the night express due yesterday at 927 A M; the Newburg Express, due at 1057. A. M.; and the Cincimmat! Express, due at 8 03 P. M , al arrived in company, soon after three o'closk in the efternoon. The tracks being cleared, 20 farther obstrue- tion is anticipated. The trains om the Harlem Rallroad were detained about an bour by the freight train, which was stopped by the snow, The mail and express trains for Albany left this city at the usual hour yesterday morning, from the depot ot Twenty seventh street. Tae track from this point to the terminus at the Park was covered with snow, but it will probably be cleared through this morning. The pas- sengers were brought down yesterday in sleighs. ‘The Grst train on the New Haven road was due at 936 o’eloek yesterday morning; the second at 103;, and the third at 1:<; but the last did not arrive till three o’elock, and the other two came in at ome in the after eon. ‘The Bostom express train was detained till 12 o’clock yesterday—about twelve hours beyend the regular time, ‘The paasengers from Philadelphia, by the Camden and > Amboy route, who shoulé have arrived about tweive o'clock, did mot reach this olty till 43, o’cieck, ?, M. ‘The Jehn Petter, which comnects with the trains at Am- boy, was compelled to come toanchcr mear Klisabethtown om Monday night, and aid not arrive at the'pler till 11 O'elock yesterday morning.

This, we should say, considering its in- tensity, ite density. ite duration,.ite diameter and its cir- cumferencs, its length and breagth, its height and its depth, is, for the 20th of February, rather a respectable, old-feshiened sort of a Rassian snow storm, with a slight touch ofan American tornado by way of variety. We hope —we sincerely bope—as an old lady remarked yesterday, while taking @ aleigh ride dowa Broadway—“ that this is the breaking up of a tremendous hard winter.” At ali cver'ts, we shall be ratiafied if we have nothing like this Great snow storm till the 20th of February, 1964.
