THE INCLEME+:T WEATHER. Beate Ice-Bound on the Hudson River— Damage to Craft and Car, PouGHKeErsi£, Dec. 3, 1871. To the surprise of old voatmen and discourage- ment. of freighters the Hudson River 1s to-day closed as far south from Albany as Tivoli, aiatance fifty miles. The effect is damaging. The cold snap ‘which caused tt commenced on Monday last, and from that time forth until yesterday the wind blew great guns from the northwest, and the mercury in ube thermometer dropped. ince then reports have come in slowly of damages by wind and ice. On Wednesday night, as the steamboat Altda, with tow, ‘was nearing Stony Point, tho gale strack the boats with full torce, carrying away the upper deck of a barge, w''c struck the steamer and knocked both of her sm:,.cstacks and one wheel- house overboard. Seven of the barges and canal boats were blown ashore or ‘sunk. One, with 7,000 bushels of potatoes and other freight, '1es opposite Highland Falls, with ber bow just showing at low water. The others are farther up the river. The escape of those on board without loss of life is deemed miraculous. Yesterday I made a tonr of the Hudson River between here and Albany to note the true state of asfairs. Gomg north hardly any ice is observable till you reach Barrvtown, when cakes of about half a mile in length become numerous—block ice, new and sharp. At Kainebeck clear block ice reaches from shore to shore, but) the ferryhoat Lark manages to force her way through it, thus keeping communteation with Rondout and Rtinebeck open, Yesterday the steamboat Onio laid at Kings- ton Polnt and her tow of forty-five boats at Port Ewen. They were all bound north, but the Ohio coaled up and took them back to New York. The Philadelphia’ tugnoat Dr. Wolverton traus- ferred a barge she had in tow to the steamer Emma, a little north of furdson, and returned to Ratnebeck, where she had some repairs made to her boiler and started back for Philadelphia, From Rninebeck to Barrytown the ice moves sluggishly along with the tide in huge felds and quite thick. At Tivolt there is @ heavy ice: gorge, in many places the boulders four to five feet thick, piling one above the other, presenting an insurmountabie barrier to boats of any description. Yesterday the ferryboat made only one trip, At the mouth of Livingston’s Creek. several miles north of 1ivoll, the large ocean steawer North Star is visible. During this summer she has becn lyme at anchor off Cats ill in jresh water. in order to ciear her from bvarnacies. On Thorsday, during tie gale, she was blown from her fastenings, and, fur- rounded by ice fields, was driven down the river to where sné now ltes on the flats on her broadside, As the wind lulled and the tide became iuller she righted, having incurred no damage. Yesterday the chief engineer boarded her, with the intention of Faiting, up steam and taking her to New York, but am confident she cannot get through uniess we have au immediate and heavy thaw. About one hundred feet from her, and both five hundred leet from the shore, 18 the barge K. Miller, urmty im- bedded in the ice and heavily laden with produce, The steamboats New Champion and Sunnyside are frozen in at Catskill dock. The ferryhoat there has @ track, but tt 13 with the greatest difficulty that tt 1s kept ope! n. A fine looking yacht, schooner-rigged, lies frozen | in between Catskul and Hudson. At Athens the steamer City of Mindson ts frozen in, and jnst below the dock is a canal! boat fast in the ice, The steamboat Annie had a hole cut in her hull by the ice, and was run ashore near Stuyvesant. ‘The Cayuga lett Albany on Wednesday night with Bixty canal boats in tow. She tost one of ber wheels at Stuyvesant. The John R. Robinson and tiattic M. Biggs, tags, and the side-wheel steamer Baltic are frozen tight in the ice in the same vicinity, The steamboat & O, Piorce Is fast in the ice of Stayve- sant. The ice there Is five inches thick, Yesterday she got up steam and tried to leave fora more genial clime, but she was four hours guing tweniy feet, and then gave it up as a bad job, ‘The steamer Beile, with a tow of six canal boats and four barges, all heavily loaded with produce, bound south, was gbiigea to stop at Castieton, and now they ali lie there firmiy frozen in. ‘The only line of steamera now running from any point porih of 1his ciiy to New York is the Kondout line. the Cornell and Baldwin. Iu this vicinity there is not much floating ice as yet, and as I write the Weather is moderating last, with (he prospect of a storm, and probably rain. The Hudson has not closed above here so ¢ariy in a number of years before, and as a consequence (he uamage must be heavy. It ts estimated tore is all uf $299,000 worth of produce trezen in.

The Fourth Avenue Butchers’ Pen—How People Have to Run the Gauntlet of the Loco- motives—The Public Demand a Depressed Railroad Track. A HERALD 1eporter took aride one day Jast week on a dirty, unwholesome horse car of the Belt Rail- road which girds the city, for the purpose of making avisitto that part of the Harlem Rallroad track | whitch is intersected by Fifty-ninth street and tn ; that Immediate vicinity. The car driver, by whose | side he took @ stand on the front platiorm, was one | of nature's noblemen—an individual mufied up to ! the neck with comforters and padded around the shoulders to keep the northeast wind away. Nearing Fourth avenue, in Fifty-ninth street, the Worn out and attenuated norses became very rest- Jess, and it was visible that they showed a great de- { i ' sire to run away from the driver and turn back to Thirt avenue, The cause for | this soon became apparent. Fiendish shrieks | from some unseea tocomotuyes rent the air, | and the bellowing, puMng and granting of taese iron Monsters were so appalling to the equine ear that wretched as tie constitutions of the poor ant- mals were tney fairly reared back’ on their nind Jegs and elevated their tails with fright. ‘dhe mamed driver began to swear just then, | and his wrath rose as the fright of the horses ia- creased. “Bless my bleeding eyes! this Is a nice job | have } about seveu or eight times a day with these blessed | locomotives of the HARLEM AND HUDSON RIVER ROADS. The other day, just as I was crossing the track, one of these same locomotives burst at my car and tore the back platform off, just leaving the conductor enough platform to hang on by. Bless these d—d | locomotives, 1 say. Iv too much risk for fourteen | shillings a day,” said the driver. f ‘The car had now approached the track, and while one train was gotng out, bound north, a freight | train of coal cars was coming down the road in the direction of the Gran] Central depot. The poor car horses became unmanageabie as they fonnd them- selves between two fires and not able to proceed either way. The passengers arose in dismay; many of them leaped off the horse car wo had agility enough to do so, while the women apd children re- mained, and, trembling with fear, expecied to be SMASHED TO PIECES iNSTANTLY. Just at this moment there came out of a side street @ licensed vender’s wagon, and tho tattered and | tora vehicle, with its reckless driver, was thrown of the track and rolled down an embankment, where driver and horse were both deposited in the twinkling of an eye, no logs of life resulting from the accident, fortunately, The passengers picked their way out of the dan- fgerous spot as quickly a3 posstoic, inwardly vow - ing that they would not risk another ride on a horse car which had to cross the Fourth avenue end of the Harlem steam rallway. The driver, as the reporter left, marked :— ‘df there ain’t seven or eight persons killed here gome day I will be greatly mistaken. They don’t think much of killing one a day; but the first thing you know they'll have another Westfield disaster in the same family.” During the last few days wooden posts have been erected at the crossings {rom Forty-second to For- ty-clghth street, and chains have been stretched across Fourth avenue at these intersections, sup- ported in the middle by iron pins. This virtually closes Fourth avenue, for a space of six blocks, at # point where travel is very heavy, and as cvery one 4p the neighborhood is very much atratd of the DANGERS OF THE SHRIGKING LOCOMOTIVE, notraiic whatever 1s carried on here, and both equestrians and pedestrians have to go below or Above to get across tothe west side or the Central briefly re- DAY, DECEMBER 4, 187].—r'RIPLE SHEET. FIN NeTAL AND CONMERCLAL, Wat, Srnesr, } SUNDAY, Deo, 53,1871, The week in trade circies has been quiet aud twansactions light, in consequence of the interven- tion of fhanksgiving, which svems annnally assum- tuga larger Importance as a festival with the peo- pie, and Was this year celebrated with unusual Zeat. ‘The produce merchants got up a litte excitement over the cold snap and closiug of river aud canal navigation, but the endurance of “the freeze” was Dot believed in generally, and hence tie wheat market was only temporarily frat. The cotton trade | wasquite activeon a steady basis of prices, ON THE S1OOK BXCHANGE the week hag been avout tho dullest on record since the first paper money issues in 1862, It Is the season when speculation {3 usually tame, but the brokers have seldon experienced such’ “Ward umes.” A great deal of capitat has been diverted to the brokerage and bavking business from other chan- Dels, and the sti 1s, 80 lo speak, giutted with brokers and bankers, at tle same time that the punlic fever for speculation has greatly dimmished with the: shrmkage in values and the gradual development of a necessity for a quieter and wore conservative. mode of living. During the past week the public were very lightly represented in the stock market, which was more than ever what 1s technically destgnated a ‘brokers! market.” ‘The mombars who trade with each other for small profits aad the cliques had tue board to themselves—the latter keeping up some show of business in thelr speciaities by the system of matched orders Knowa as ‘washes.’ The early tendency of prices was dowaward, the. intense dul- nesa having discouraged some of the clique oper- ators, who transferred their stocks to their brethten and took a light lime on the ‘short’ sid This {ittle impetus developed a moderately active sentiment on the “bear side, which was ar- rested midway of the week by the sudden prepay- ment ot several millions of coin by tne Sub-Treasury m redemption of the “called” bond3 of 1962, a con- tribution to the’ reserves of the banks, which re- suited immediately in an easier money market. The consequeuce Was & complete reversal in the course of prices, and an advance to better prices than.were made at the beginning of the week. But THE MONEY MARKET failed to meop the ease it so suiddeniy assumed, and on Friday and Saturday. be- came xctive at seven per cent currency to gold interest, the shipment of greenbacks and Nationai bank notes to the West and Sonth having overcome the effect of the Treasury disbursements, especiatly:as the Broadway Bank had tocall about two millions to meet some mataring obligations of the city government. It was alleged that the “bears” were locking up money, too, but the clear- ances of Saturday failed to furnish cvidence tu sup- port of the charge. THE GOLD MARKET was weak and declined from 111 to 11034, which is within ¥ per cent of the lowest poiut touche 1 since the close of the war. The inflaences occastoning the decline are alreidy explainea in tho Sub-Treasury payments of coim for re- deemed *628, A iittle =reaction ensued on Saturday consequent upon the cable despatches from Madrid, stating that England and the United States had intervened in Cuban affairs, but was cor- fined to the narrow limit of 34 per cent. In this connection attention is directed to an inter- esting article in another column under the heading of “Light at d Imperfect Coin.? Foreign exchange was barely steady on the basis of 109 a 100% for prime bankers’ sixty-day slcrling and 1093¢ a 10974 for sight bila. Prime paper was quoted 7 a 12 per cent discount. GOVERNMENT BONDS. Government bonds were steady and underwent hitde variation. The governing committee met Park. People have been killed here almost every Gay before tne chains were stretched across the rati- road, Collisions were of common occurrence, and the writer found everywhere along tue tine of the railway, particularly on the East side, a fceling of alarm and distrust in regard to the passage of the trains. One hundred trains pass over ihis secuon of the road every day, ireignt and passenger trams in- cluded. Pedestrians dare not cross the road at any point within the city limils, unless where the Toad is tannelled, and human life is below » The New Haven, Hudson River and Harlem iroads are now all centred in this monster depot, and ff anything ts done to intertere with the pro, ress of the railway Juggernaut it will be necessary fr the three combinea companies to employ a coro- ner of thelrown, who wil have bis hands full tu at- tending to their daily mortuary report, ‘The section of the city through which this raflway penetrates would be the richest, as it 18 the health- jest, in New York, were it not for this mtolerabie locomotive nuisance, which makes the neighborhood A TELL CPON EARTH. Day and night is heard the same heart-rending, heiliah shriek of the iron horse, giving forth & scream like the wail of a soul in torment, entering by force mto the bedroom of the sleeper, whirling around tne agonized car of the patient in the nosple tal, and raising havoc and terror in the boudoir ot the delicate and refined woman, Another and most serions evil has arisen from this | railroad nuisance. Property on the eastern line of the ward, (rom Forty-second strees to Eighty-sixth street, was rapidly rising in value until all these various railway lines were brought to centre at the Grand Central Depot. The natural rise tn this value anle property has been reversed, aud the lot which two years ago would have sold for $10,000 to $15,000 will not average more than $8,000 to $8,000. Sales of property east of Fourth avenue have come to a standstill, and should this nmutsance be not abated by the incoming Legislature, where :t is expected that no corruption or thieves can enter, there will not be any buildings erected on the eastern side of the .

THR BANK STATEMENT, The weekly statement of the associated banks Is unfavorable, owing to a 1038 of about half a milton dollars in the surplus reserve, which is now avout seven millions. The’ specie return is made on a rising average, and reflects, therefore, only partially the real situation of the banks in this item, the heavy disbursements of coin in payment of the “cailea” '62’s counung during Ouly @ small traction of the week, The important feature 1s a loss of 1% millions of legal tenders, which shows the activity of the movement of currency to the South and West. The deposits are just about the amount the banks have expended in loans—viz., tour millions— ‘@ ratner anomalous policy, but adopted, doubtless, with reference rather to what the bank statement will be a week or two hence, wnen their resources are fortified with the ten or ffteen miilions of gold coming ont of the Treasury tor the ’62°a, The state- ment contrasts with its predecessor as follows:— Feseon roe" —$990"316 000 Loans $258,403, 2 9 pecte. . 16,222,800 18,074, 700 Circulation. 30,059, 500 Deposits. 219,229,890 Legal tende + 63,604,900 The differences for the week being: — Increase in loans. .
