Nowhere in tne world is there sucd a splendid fleet of ferryboats. Tue power of the engines, the fleetness of the vessels, the indi- viduality and Americanism of the whole ferry out fit are in the highest degree ring and enliven- ing. It was strange to sce these great turties of m pa boats clinging to their piers, too mtd to veoture out, or if venturing, soon entangled in the drifting ice, helpless automatons, at ‘the mercy of ne the tide. Poor old Staten Isiand was an ab doned lamd in yesterday’s cola weather. Wo: was flashed to the people at Clifton, Tompk ville and New srighton that the best way to reach the city was to cross over on the ice between (he western point of the isiand ana Latourette, There all day yesterday vehicles were moving ‘With double horses. About midday the East River became thronged witn pedestrians.

But this channel speedily ciosed up, for there was a hiatus in the passage of Steam Vessels, and then the multitude kept on as befere, risking, moving undismayed by food and Geid in order tohave it to say that once upon @ time each individual of the set had crossed the “raging can THESE DANGERS Of the rivers which divide the various parts ot integral pepulation only hasten the necessity our complete connection.

We can doubtless rank Tuesday as the coldest day that has been, or will be, this jon. The mean temperature of the day was about zero; but the cutting wind that prevailed made the tem- pease em even colder than that. !n Hartiord it Was the coldest day since 1857, and probably there bave been jew colder days here since the steepies of the Episcopal and Second churches were blown down. Certainly no such sustained period of cold weather has visited us since that memorable year 1867, and never have water pipes Deen 60 generally frozen in this city. The com bined cold and drought will mark this winter a9 one to be remembered. TEMPERATURE FOR SIXTY-THREE JANUARIES. (From the New Bediord Mercury, Feb. 11.)

AN ELIZABETHAN FROZEN TO DEATH Yesterday morning an Elizabeth policeman found lying in Port street the body of an agea man. stiff ana stark, frozen to death.

ANOTHER PHASE OF THE GREAT DRAMATIO CON- TROVERSY—THE ‘‘SHAUGHRAUN” CLAIMED TO BE PIRATED FROM THE ‘‘SKIBBEEAH.” Mr. Josh Hart, manager of the Theatre Comique, against whom proceedings are pending in the United States District Vourt, instituted py Diom Boucicault, of “Shaugbraun” tame, onan applica- tion for an injunction to restrain Mr. Hart from performing the “Skibbeeal”’ because, as claimed, 18 1s pirated from the “Shaugbraun,” has carried the war into Africa. The latter has addressed @ com- muaication, which will be found below, to Messrs. Boucicault, Wallack and Morse, in which he alleges that the “Shaugnraun” Js pirated from nis play of the anc Waliack’s will be copyright of the “skibbeeab,” an ns to desist trom its further representation. Mr. Hart also claims that the copyright Claimed for tue ‘“‘Shaughraun’ is unfounded in law, &c. Thia opens @ new phase of tne controversy and will lend additional zest to the matin¢e performances to-day, before Judge Woodruf, in the Cnitea Stati District Court.

The case of Boucicault vs. Hart, in regard to the rights of dramatic authors, has assumed such ap aspect of notoriety that it threatens to put the Brooklyn scandal suit in the shade. Such @ con: summation may be hailed with delight, as itis very inconvenient atthe present time for Ni Yorkers to visit our sister city, even when the plaintia or the mutual friend is undergoing the ordeal of a crogs-examination, “The Vagabona” 1s now pitted against “Tne Hangman,” and legal luminaries shine om either side. A repiesenta- tive of the HEKALD called yesterday upon Mr, Josh Hart to ascertain his views regarding this cause célébre. The syiph-like form of the young variety manager emerged from the precincts of the box office in response to a summons, and Mr, Hart thus explained bis views in regard to the rival representations of Irish life:— “First of all | want it to be distinctly understood that 1 have never sought, nor dol claim to pow #e85 10 Lue sligutest degree @ particle of influence With auy journal in this city. 1 pay for my adver- tisements and attend to my legitimate business. 1toought that the court was the proper place te discuss ciis question, until Mr. Boucicault placed tion which compels me to answer thé charges brought against me by & public statement.
