The weather yesterday and the condition of the streets did not allow any considerable exercise in the open air, and the majority remained at their homes The various places of amusement were, however, well attended, At the theatres two performances were given during the day. Business of course, suspended, and the first day of the new year was observed axa gene- ral holiday, and generally celebrated in a quiet and orderly manner. The members of the New York Sing Academie, a thriving musical association, cor of @ male and female chorns, were assembled at their headquarters, st the Steuben Honse, late on Sunday night, to celebrate Sylvester (New Year's eve) by a series of nusical exer cises, which took place at midnight, when Schumann's New Year chorus was sung by the maie and female chorus, The Sing Academic’s celebration was quite a select and successful affair, The society comprises a number of acvompllaed singers, and the New Year's song way reydered ima very acceptable manner, Mr. Huimer, an accomplished opera singer, assisted in the {gUsical exercises. At the close of the musical por: lion of the programme a presengation took place. The leader of the chorus singers of the socicty, Mr. E. A. P akert, was the recipient of a series of the most popular musical works of Beethoven, Wagner, Bach, Haydn and Hauptmann. Addresses were delivered on the ovra sion by Mewsrs, Baubabn, the President of the society, and Mr. Pinkert, the leader. After supper a distribucion of holiday gifts lor the ladies took place, whereupon the festivities were wound up by a ball, which was com tinued until quite an early hour, The Day in the Tombs. Festive occasions are of rare occurrence among the inmates of the City Prison. The wan-faced, melancholy oceapants of the cells, the scores of Women who roun listlessly through the corridors of the Female Depart ment, aro not too frequently reminded of the advent of those holidays so gladly greeted by the millions who Business was almost entirely suepended in the city yesterday. Jf the old saying that as the pew year opens ‘thus will be the romainder of the twelvemouth may be ‘set down as trie, New Yorkers have very little to con- @ratulate themselves upon in regard to 1866, the initial day of which was no more comfortable than its im- ‘mediate predecessors, and altogether an unhappy on under foot and overhead. The snow of Sabbath cay cand night was not rendered more endurablo by the rain that fell carly on the first day of the new year, and, as a ‘consequence, the streets of New York and Brooklyn Wore turned into miniature mountain streams, and the sidewalks into slushy bridges for callers and other pe- destrians to slip up on, and to @ampen the feet of those who fortunately were able to continue their perpen- dicular. It will not do to state, because yesterday was muddy, wet, snowy, rainy, cloudy, dark, and pro- ductive and suggestive of rheumatism and neufalgia— not to mention the colds und the toothaches incidental ty humanity under such circumstances—that socially it was an unhappy day. Physically it was miverable. Socially and spiritually ib was merry enough—in fact, quite endurabie. Preparations bad been made throughout the eity for a grand gala occasion, The best dresses, Suest ribbons and fabulous, nappiest bats and coats had been produced for this happiest of all the days in the year, and the brown linen coverings were taken from the furniture of the front partors for the accommodation of the expected gentlemen callers. The wine had been procured, The cake had been baked. In fact, yesterday forenoon, te- spite the (rowaing aspect of the outward landscape, within the aristocratic dwellings of the upper portion of the city all was ae bright and resplendent a» a newly coined balf dollar, aud as serene and placid as the temper of an aa- raffled maiden of sweot sixteen, expecting her lover, And, notwithstanding the bad weather, the gentlemen, above that the principal in the affair was a votorious The reader will judge.
