‘WUE STOKM—DETAILS OF DAMAGE, ETC. ‘The sxew storm which commenced in this city about even o'clock on Monday evening continued until afterone P. M. yesterday, and left us an average depth of sixteen imches of snow. Tt extended to Philadelphia, Pa. ; Dunkirk, N. ¥.; Bangor, Me., end Montreal, Canada, covering an area of over @ thousend miles in circumference, detaining steamboate and raifroads, stopping the mails, interfering with the shipping, covering the city with a wet sheet, ‘and, in short, fully carrying out the idea of a pretty good ‘snow storm. Some sage'once said that a ‘great snow storm ina greateityis a great humbug,” and certainly the sage might have found plenty of reason to support his view could he have perambulated the streets of this city yesterday. I would seem that after the infringement of the rights of pedestrians by cartmen, drivers of omnibusses and cars, and tterekeepers, for which New York is celebrated, tha Dut little facilities of locomotion are afforded with the edditional inconvenience of snow ; and such proves the ease to all unfortunate pedestrians. If they walk in the morning they run a risk of being shovelled into the street; if in the afternoon, of being lost in the snow anks of the street crossings; and if in the evening, of Josing the centre of gravity without having made too many New Year's calls ; while at all times the snow storm is considered as a temporary suspension of al Jaws against fast driving. This storm, commencing in the evening and continuing steadily all night, came near astonishing many, aud would most probably have done so had it not been for the multiplicity of sensations to which New Yorkers are accustomed; so people waded through it with a resolution worthy of the martyrs of old. The ty Hall park presented all the sinuosities of country cow paths in the various windings which pedestrians made through it with the accustomed ‘short euts;” for our citizens generally are as obstinate in adher- ing to old paths as the Fejee Islanders in taking a slice of missionary or Yankee meat by way of a luxury. The depth of the snow made the business of skovelling pro- fitable; and, at a moderate calculation, there must have been expended for clearing railroad tracks, sidewalks and street crossings, full $8,000. This sum goes generally to iadustrious and deserving men and boys, and may be set down to the credit side of the storm. The railroad companies in the city seem to think the streets their especial proper- ty, and pile up snow and distribute salt to their own satis- faction and the discomfiture of everybody else. Theanow Danks are impassable for both wagons and sleighs, and ‘the ponds of water not fordabie without conveniences for ‘taking soundings and most extensive boots. It has often deen suggested that the city railroad companies might, in cases of storms like this, affording really good sleighing, ‘turn out for a while on runners, so as to let the snow melt gradually at first, and not deluge us instanter; but doubtless those heartless bodies kuow their own inter- ests. We saw Peter Cooper yesterday morning wading ‘brough the slush and slop of Broadway, and could not belp retiecting that perhaps his intluence might do some- ‘thing to wake up the railroad companies; but doubtless he, too, knows his own business best. As for snowballing, the boys had a perfect carnival of it, and young boys and old boys alike enjoyed the fun. The lumbering cartmen, dashing cutters or slow coach stages alike came in fora share, and wo was it for the unlucky growler who dared to “get mad,” for additional volleys were soon forth to cool him down with Arctic ra- pidity and frigid ie stage sleighs—what few were out—came in for the usual share of attention in this re- ‘spect, and petticoats were not the slightest protection againét the ready missiles, and the sufferers had to sit and take it with good or bad grace as they saw fit. As for the sleighing, it was excellent in those streets “where the salt was not distributed; and while the dashing vehicles were everywhere to be secn, there were particu- Jar localities especially favored. Livery stable keepers ‘were in an ecstasy of joy of course, and all sorts of extra- ‘Vagant prices were charged and paid, because when New York geté on her winter clothes she is perfectly regard- Jess of expense—especially Young New York, for whose ‘denefit these storms are considered to be especially got up. The huge stage sleighs, which have been 80 common at even lighter storms, Were not very plentiful yesterday, as ‘most of the lines put double teams on their stages and let ‘the sieighs slide. Of the few lines that put on the sleighs we the Knickerbocker; Broadway, Bleecker apd Second street; Broadway aad Eighth street; Broad- way, Bleecker street and Eighth avenue, and others. The cartmen generally turned out with sleds, and contributea much to enliven the scene, by dashing about the dowa town streets with jolly loads, more nolsy than proiitable, and not likely to get hurt by being tipped o New Yorkers generally seem to have lost faith in snow storms, because we are ‘so often tantalized with mere at- tempts at storms, and it was not until after- moon yesterday that the fancy sleighs got fairly started. Fulton street was as sedate as be- came a busivess mart, the Fifth avenue resounded with the merry jingles and sparkled with the trappings of gay cquipages; while Broadway, “between the little and the great,” exhibited the enjoyment of plebean stage sleighs, hired vehicles, and a few real fun lovees. Bat when it was discovered that salt bad been plenti- fully distributed along our great thoroughfare by the stage companies, great indignation was felt among the gieighriderg, and a number of complaints were made to the Mayor. But while Lis Honor did not improve of this summary method of spoiling a sleigh ride, he frankly acknowledged bis inability to replace the defici The fact is the stage companies are buying no new slei; and since the old ones are nearly worn out it is their interest to get rid of the snow as quick as possible, as it increases their expenses and diminishes their receipts simultaneously when they*keep running stages. Doubtless it would be a profitable speculation to keep the stage sleighs going, for many people would ride in them who would not otherwise ride. As it is now, the diversity of opinion keeps the street fit for neither one nor the other, and disagreeable to both. ‘This was especially the case near the Hudson road depot, in Chambers street, and their track in other streets. The vicinity of the tracks was shovelled clear, while at either side the hoe piles were almost impassable RYFECT ON THE CITY RAILROADS, BTAGE LINES, SAIP- FING, STEAMBOATS AND MAILS—COMPLAINTS OF ‘THE SALT IN BROADWAY—LMQONVEN'ENCE TO PE- DESTRIANS—SLEIGHING ON ‘THE ROAD—EXTENT OF Peller Guateme’s, from Snteden’s yard, at Greenpoint, ‘Waa postpone, THRE SNOW IN JERSEY CITY. ‘Tho tktow fell from twelve to fourteen inches in depth in ‘the'sastern part of New Jersey, and yesterday afternoon ‘the sleighing was as good as could be desired.

Our trains, both freight and passenger, are all on time this morning.’ We have not much snow. The storm does not extend twenty miles west of Philadelghia, There are only three inches here. It cannot give avy tronble. Reports from numerous other points show the present snow storm of unusual extent and severity. Body es in Troy—Excitement among of a Mob, {From the Troy ‘Ames, Jan, 3.) On the 20th of December Michael Price, a young man about nineteen years of age, who had been employed as a moulder in the Empire Foundry, died at the residence of his mother on Fourth street, of consumption. There were some peculiar features about his case which had enlisted in it the attention of several physicians and led to consi- derable discussion as to the complicated nature of the dis- ease that terminated his life. The bag A interred in St. Mary’s cemetery on Ida Hill. On Wednesday night last the pee in charge of the graveyard was apprised by the barking of a dog of the presence of some person on the grounds, but he did not get up and go out. On Thursday morning an investi- gation was made by him, which resulted in the discovery that footprints leading from over the fence terminated at the grave of Price. There was every appearance of the removal of the body from the grave—the earth being thrown off and piled about in a peculiarly carcless manner, the snow tracked down, and some marks of blood being visible near by. Investigation was made, and resulted in finding only the broken pieces of the cofln and the shroud, which had been carelessly dumped in and covered up. The body of Price was gone. Information was conveyed to some friends of the de- ceased, and inquiries privately set on foot in the matter. The parties having knowledge of the affair managed to keep it well to themselves, and thus prevent any interfe- rence with their plans. On Friday, information was ob: tained from a person who had been in a measure con- cerned in the “ resurrection”? that led toa suspicion that the body might be found in the reom over the store of A. B. Grant, on Congress street. This suspicion was soon con- firmed into almost positive assurance. There was some thouglit on Saturday of moving in the matter with the aid of the authorities: but the idea was abandoned, and a re. sort to ‘higher law” determined upo' Last night, abont balf-past six o'clock, twenty strong men—friends of the deces the lead of bis brother—assembled at a place that previously been determined upon, and marched down force of about for any vehicles. But, in spite of all these difficulties, the sleigh riders enjoyed ‘themselves, and many business men, after about two o'clock P. M., having comfortably settled early dinners, and throwing’ business overboard, helped materially to enliven the city. A number of houses n the favorite roads out of the city were kept open, and old Bloomingdale and Manhattanville once more echoed with the accustomed sounds of jovial mirthfulness, which @ storm like this is sure to bring them, The city railroads all had four horse teams attached, and drew off half their cars, keeping the snow ploughs going all night and distributing salt aloug the tracks freely The ferries ran with great regularity, aud though the lots were somewhat blinded by the driving storm, we ward of no accidents. Appended will be found such details of the etfects of the storm as we have received. The one o’clock train from Albany, yesterday morning, was détained three hours, and did not arrive until about four o'clock yesterday afternoon. There was much suow ali along the track, and the way trains were greatly im. ded. ‘The railroads and steamboats generally were much detained by the snow storm. At one o'clock yesterday ‘our marine reporter gent us the following: — ‘There has been no arrivais this morning by way of Sandy Hook.

THE STORM IN BROOKLYN. The city was nearly buried in snow yesterday morning, and travelling through any of the streets was difficult, The City Railroad Company took advantage of their snow ploughs, and commenced clearing the tracks during the night. By the time the cars commenced running the rails were comparatively clear of obstructions, All the railroad lines were kept open, and although the tracks were still heavy, and hard for the horses, the cars ‘were ran with as much regularity as possible under the circumstances. Double teams were put into requisition, but it frequently happened that the lorses became ex. hhausted from over exertion, some times occasioning loug 8 in consequence, Bleighs were ont in considerable numbers, and the occasion will doubtless be improved as Jong as the snow lasts. The Flatbush line ran large stage sleighs to the Fulton ferry, and had a good shares of cus. BFFECTS OF THE STORM IN WILLIAMSBURG. ‘The heavy storm of snow of Monday night caused se- rious impediment to travel, both on foot and by teams. Until noon the sidewalks were almost impassable from the epth of snow, and the roads were dilticy vel by teams. The railroads suffered mostly, the efforts of the snow plough on the Brooklyn City Railroad being insuffi- cient to keep the track clear so that the cars could run, About noon an effort was made to run a few cars on the Greenpoint line, but it had to be abandoned, as the snow was 80 closely packed that most of the time the cars ‘were off instead of on the track. The ferry boats of the Yeck slip ferry ran with more than thelr accustomed slowness—in some cases requiring an hour anda half to make the trip.

He was nin Francs, March 7, 1774; came to this country in achusetts, nnd served au ap: a printer with Iaalah ‘Thomas, in Worces vsitor in Thomas’ printing office on 4 in this country. He went from Worcester to Charleston, 8. C., and was engaged in mer tile business there for nine years. In 1803 he went to burg, whore he established the Furmers’ Register, hich, three years afterwards, he moved to Troy? the same until 1831. The Register 4 respectable and influential democratic journal, and its editor was always a devoted democratic partizan, ofl- ginally of the Clintonian school, and always candid and sincere. He was the first man to raise the standard of General Jackson in the State of New York, since which {t has becn the veteran's pride to style himeclf a true Jack. sonian, Jony HaAscock, Faq., died at his residence, Beac strect, Boston, on'the 24 instant. Mr Hancock, says the Advertiser, was son of Ebenezer Hancock (a graduate of Harvard College in 1740), was born in Boston the 22d of February, 1774, and had, therefore, nearly completed his eighty-tifth year. He was nephew of the eminent Revola- tionary patriot John Hancock, the first signer of the De- claration of Independence. He was fitted for college at the Boston Latin School, but relinquished his purpose of obtaining a liberal education, and became a merchant. He was engaged in mercantile purguite in partnerehip with his brother, under the firm of Thomas & Johu Han. cock, in Merchants’ row, and is alone on Loug wharf, antil the war broke out, which interruptod hie bu siness, and he never afterwards resumed it, A Nuw Yorker Drownen.—The body of the man found laet week drowned in the dock at the end of Custom House wharf, hag been identified as that of John Jenks, as he called himself in his protection, hailing from the city of New York. His protection, iseued from the Portland Cus. tom House, bears date Doc. 8, 1858, and represents him to be thirty two years of age. Jenks was steward of the bark Andes on her last voyage, and had shipped to go in her again, but when the time arrived for the vesrel to sail he was missing, and the shipping master was obliged Wo get another wan, iis clothing was jdentiligd by wg Sauaa Tux Sramwrs—A Noveiry.—The denizens of Ful- ‘ton street and vicinity were startled out of their ordinary apathy to street sights yesterday about noon by behold- ing a team of four white horses and a large wagon filled with salt advancing down Fulton street, with two men in the wagon all the time shovelling the salt out into the street as fast as they could. The wagon advanced slowly down to Fulton ferry, the men in it all the way plying their shovels with great activity till the entire street was salted. Much curiosity was manifested to know what all this seasoning was about; some thought the city officials, more or less of them, had devised a new expedient for squandering the ple’s taxes; others thought that the spilling of so much salt savored of a demented condition in the parties engaged in it; while others are oneny considered that it was merely the curing of the sea- son which immediately preceded it. Such indeed was the object. The proprietors of the omfibus lines which run through Fulton street took this means as the most effica- cious for melting the snow in the street, so their omni- buses could run to more advantage and safety. The pro- rietors of the Fifth avenue and the Consolidated omnibus lines, equally bore the expense of the outlay. About oe bushels of salt were scattered over Fulton street. Fiftl avenue, Broadway and some other streets were also salted. About 100 bushels of salt were spilled in Fifth avenue. Arrangements have been made with the contractor for cleaning Broadway by the proprietors of the omnibus lines aforesaid, whereby the latter has engaged to salt Broadway after every snow storm during the winter. The same thing will be done in Fifth avenue, Fulton, and perhaps other streets, for salt is considered the cheapest, quickest and most effectual means of removing the snow from the streats. ‘Tug SimewaLxs.—After every considerable fall of snow householders should be very particular to have the side- walks in front of their dwellings cleared off, It isnot only necessary to clear the snow from the sidewalks, but the gutters in front of said sidewalks should also be cleared; if this is not done, when the snow begins to melt there 18 no place in which the water can run off; consequently it flows on to the sidewalks and into the streets, at night congeals iuto ice, aud thus becomes dangerous to the life and limbs of man and beast. This is an important matter, and should be punctually attended to. The police should have authority, and be required to see that the snow is shovelled off the sidewalks and out of the gutters (hrough- out the entire city, and any and every party who refuses or neglects thus to clear the: sidewalks, should, upon the report of the police stating such fact to the proper authorities, be severely amerced, The sidewalks along Broadway, and the business part of the city, were cleared very early yesterday, but along many of the side streets, and’ in the poorer parts of the city, they were much neglected. In few, if any, of the streets were the gutters properly cleared. Tuk New York Tyrocrarmeca Socry invite their friends to celebrate with them the anniversary of Frank lin’s birthday, on the 17th of January, at Niblo’s Saloon.

The proceeds, after defraying expenses, are to be devoted to the maintenance of their free library, which the society contemplate removing to amore deaira: ble location, in order that its usefulnes may be extended and the benetits to be derived from its well {filled shelves more accessible to those who are now unable to avail themselves of its advantages. Washington Irving and other distinguished literary gentlemen have signitied their intention to be present at the festival. Crry Ramgoap Devors.—During a heavy storm like that which has just visited the city, people who travel on the city railroads frequently find themselves at the lower ends of the routes without there being any car or depotto protect them from the storm. This is felt as a serious in- convenience. Yesterday we noticed that the Third Avenue. Railroad Company sought to remedy this defect by leaving @ stationary car at the lower end of the reute, in which the travelling community could seek protection ‘from the inclemency of the weather. OnrtvaRy.—We yesterday observed that a portion of the shipping in port displayed their flags at half-mast, and learned that the cause of it was the sudden death, on the Ist instant, of a young man, Mr. West Luce, who had been a confidential clerk for several years past with Meesrs. Dunham & Dimon, and during that time had made many friends among our shipmasters and shipowners. He was a young man of promise, and bade fair to become an honor to his profession. This mark of respect for his memory we have no doubt will be gratifying to his friends and relatives, Fara Rairoap Accipest.—Richard Berry, a driver in the employ of the Harlem Railroad Company, died at Belle- vue Hospital, on Monday night, from the effects of injn- ries accidentally received by falling from the front plat- form of one of the cars while the same was in rapid mo- lion.

Svppex Dram or an UnkNown Max.—An old man, of respectable appearance, dropped dead yesterday morning at the corner of Canal and Centre streets. The body of deceased was taken to the Fourteenth precinct station house for the purpose of identity. Deceased was about Sixty yeurs of age.

M. ange on Europe is more plentiful than it was last week, and prices have declined somewhat. We quote bankers’ sterling bills at 109%; a 8, and good commercial bills at 10834 a 1093¢; francs, 5.1834 a 5.173g. The mail per Asia will necessarily be sinall. This has been one of the dullest days ever known in Wall street outside The total absence of ontside investment ana gpeculation was never more strikingly con- is Morning’s Board. Even the “ leading couraged by the obstinacy with which the 8 from purchasing faney stocks, appeared to shrewd suspicions were freely expressed that certain large blocks of stocks which were sold by a commission house were for his account; it was evident, at all events, that he had ceased to stimulate further advance in prices by indiscriminate and enor- mous purchases. ‘The consequence was the decline and downward tendency to which the stock lists bear witness, publi¢ have abandoned the contest; That the bo of one man should so long have availed to arrest the | course of the market, and to defeat all ealeulations based on considerations of intrinsic values and present income, is a phenomenon well worth study. It could not have occurred but for the policy which is being pureved by the banke, aod in pursuance of which, in a time of profound commercial stagnation, they have contrived to swell their a ts to nearly one hundred and twenty-eight inillions of dollars. It was the banks which, by lending money at the lowest rates of interest on all kinds of securities, enabled this bold ope- rator to enter the market single handed, and, with charac- teristic gallantry, to withstand alone the united assaults of the whole Board. Hyerything was against him but the money market. The roads were doing little or no busi ness. Aa general rule, prices of railroad stocks were high. There was no outside buying to assist him. Hun. dreds of stockbolJers were eagerly watching for an op. portunity to sell out, It was the season of the year at which railroads must expect accidents of all kinds, and no traffic. Yet, in epite of all these causes, and in opposi- tion to all the other jobbers, this bold operator derived so much and so timely assistance from the banks, that he was enabled for many days to arrest the natural course of events, and to drive the market in a direction exactly op- posite to that which was natural and healthy. The calculation, perhaps, was that, after a time, the public, weary of inaction, bind to the facts, deaf to reason, and forgetful of experience, would re-enter the market as buyers of fancy stocks. There was a time, perhaps, when this hope might have been realized. But the lessons of August, 1867, and March, 1868, have not, it seems, been yet wholly forgotten; and now, when the bold scheme appears to have culminated, and even the leading bull will buy no more, there is less buying among outsiders than there was thirty days ago. The banks should heartily congratulate themselves that @ power even greater than their own has saved them from being the instruments of much misery, ruinoug losses and griev- ous misfortune among the public at krge, Had the scheme of which they, in their desire to carn dividends, became the mainspring and the support, been as successful ‘a8 was by eome persons expected, hundreds and thousands of foolish people would soon have been mourning the lous of their money; large sums, which are now in hands where they may be usefully employed, would have poured into the grasp of the stock gamblers of Wall street, and the banks themselves, by a righteous retribu- tion, would probably have lost no small portion of the weak paper which they now count among their assets, ‘We are not exaggerating the responsibility which rests on bhp banks, If the whole bistory of the revent lonus og on) stocks were written, there would be perbape lees general inquiry after bank stocks a8 an investment. At all events, men of means would, before buying bank stock, take eome pains to inquire whether the controling directors of the bank were likewise the ruling power in any lead- ing railway, and were likely, in case of need, to hasten to place the means of the bank at the disposal of any speculator who chose to buy & thousand sharés of the railway stock at a venture. ‘The business of the morning Board to-day was quite small. In State stocks there was no change of moment, and there was hardly a transaction in railway bonds, Among the speculative stocks the most active were Rock Island and Galena, both of which were freely offered in large lots, and accordingly declined about half per cont. We hear ‘that the December earnings of these roads are not likely to amount to anything like the earnings of the corresponding month of 1857. Illinois Central was also very heavy. In the Michigan roads there was no change of consequence. New York Central declined 34, with heavy sales of cash stock. Pacific Mail was a shade lower, without activity. At the afternoon board there was hard- ly any Dusiness dono, and no change in prices.

The meeting to be held at the Messrs. Wards’ office, No. 47 Exchange Place, on the 11th instant, is called with sole reference, we understand, to the interests of holders of the first mortgage bonds due in 1882, and issued by the Milwaukie and Horicon Railroad Company. These bonds were originally placed on our market when but fifteen miles of the section of road they are predicated on were built, and nearly the whole issue, amounting to $420,000, was disposed of. The entire section was completed and the trains commenced running more than a year ago; and notwithstanding that the business has been highly remu- nerative, the company is in default on the coupons due November 1. We are assured that the bondholders have only to urge their claims, under the wholesome provisions of the mortgage, to insure their payment. ‘The following is a comparative statement of the exports, exclusive of specie, from New York to foreign ports for the week ending January 1, 1859:— ‘1857. 1858. 1859. ‘Total for the week. .$1,680,294 649,559 699,503 ‘The following table shows the different articles exported from the port of New York to foreign ports for the week ending and including January 3, 1859:— DANISH WEST INDIES.
