Out of $900,417 89 in 1866, the proprietors of ‘this journal received ounly $24,250 50—the residue having been expended for the bencfit of our readers and advertisers. During the year the size of Tur TRIBUNE was increased nearly one quarter, and on the four items of Editorial, Correspondence, Telegraphing, and Composition we spent $88,616 82 more than in 1865. These expenditures have been borne by the proprietors of The TrIBUNE without additional cost to our subscribers, our readers and advertisers receiving the fyll benefit. On some items the expenses of the year 1866 were unusually heavy. We presume that the elec- tion campaign of last Summer and Autumn cost this concern $25,000 in addition to the ordinary expenses of publication. It was an important clection, and no labor and no ex- pense were spared by Tae TRIBUNE in doing its share toward enlightening and convincing voters, Qur aggregate circulation was increased forty-one thousand copies dur- ing the year—(during and for the campaign the transient increase reached over 66,000) —and our Advertising receipts increased from $501,966 17 in 1865 to 850,246 00 in 1806 ; in tho month of December last reaching 58,789 73, Accepting these figures as evidenco of the public appreciation of Tuy TRBUNE, we shall aim to make it still more the good will of our friends.

This is what the Ferry Companies did yesterday. 1f the stoppage of the b cident of unusually sev would be less, but it is the rule, ence of yesterday repeats that of every Winter ears.

Winter v Winter | has this shameful condition of the ferries existed, yet their managers have never taken a single step to remedy or prevent it With an indifference which we can only trace to extreme imbecility or extraor- | dinary avarice, they have submitted to the usual cold of American Winters without a | struggle. With steam, iron, labor, ingenuity, machinery, at their command, they have per- mitted steamers to be bound in a river little more than a quarter of a mile wide, by ice through which a whaling vessel, trapped in the Arctic seas, wonld have cut a path in a few hours. They cannot put upon wind and snow the blame that follows from their own negligence. Tho recent storm was mnot accompanied with intense cold; it covered the land with deep snow, but did not freeze solid the surface of the rivera. It is on the land that it should have most interrnpted travel, but many of the railway engines have cut their way through snow drifts for hundreds of miles, From four to eight inches of floating ice, suf- fered to accumulate, has baffled the boats, and the people of Brooklyn, waiting on the wrong side of the narrow but impassable river, will not consent to excuse, merely because it is Winter, the wretched management of Cyrus P. Smith, Mr. Smith i3 the President of the Brooklyn Union Ferry Company, Mr. Edwin A. Stevens, of the Hoboken, and Mr. Jackson, of the Jersey City Ferries. These three Presidents of great monopolies are to be held responsible for the aufforings of every man, woman, and child, who ghivered yesterday in the cold and uncomfortable ferry-houses vainly demanding conveyance from the companies which the public money has enriched If these officials aro not respon- giblo, why are they Presidents? Is the President of a corporation, chartered for the public good, merely like the wooden figure- head on a ship’s prow, or a barnacle on her koel? Is he of less use than the man who stoers the boat, chains it to tho slip, or sells the tickets? The man who at rare intervals swoeps out the dirty cabins—a work much needed—does his duty badly enough, yet at least makes a pretense of doing it. But the Presidents of the Ferry Companies are gentle- men whose main occupation in Winter appears to be the division of yearly profits, and nobody has ever accused them of any zeal in serying the public or attending to their business. Oneof the Fulton Ferry boats was three hours in crossing; between Christopher-st. and Hoboken two boats were imbedded in the ice ; the Des- brosses-st. line was stopped entirely ; every- where there was suspension of travel, or trips that occupied time enough for the journey to Philadelphia. We shall be told the old story that the ice was too thick for the boats to pen- etrate ; but this is neither an explanation that is needed, nor an excuse we can accept. We have heard it every Winter for years. Of course, these boats cannot cross, and that is the point of complaint. The public has a right to demand that the Ferry Companics ghall provide boats that can cross in Winter, to insist that they shall not use in January the same awkward vessels that they use in July. It needs but a glance to show how unfit these boats are for Winter use; the unventilated cabins are eithor cold or foul; the wheels are too weak fo battle with ice; the hulls are not AR Wmmm | jected to extreme inconvenience yesterday, | boats that are not a disgrace to the city and a | that of either of Mr. Vanderbilt's lines, they | port ne ! the river as best they might, and would receive checks nor tickets from the Central | |« | whenee there is communication both by the part of the boat is specially fitted for e sure encounter with the ice. While the Brocklyn boats yesterday were frozen up in the river, or kept in their slips, the little tug boats of the harbor were cutting through it with little trouble. What would be thought of the Directors of the New-York Central, or the Hud- son and Erie Railroads, did they refuse to em- ploy snow plows to clear their tracks? They A justly bo considered as unfit for their dutics as (he managers of the Ferry Companics. At least a hundred thousand people were sub- b Iy because these gentlemen were either too norant or too avaricious to employ ice-boats to keep the river clear. The irregular crossing of the river was finally effected last night, not by any effort of the ferrymen, but by a fortunate lull of the wind, and the changes of the tide. What the people of New-York, Brooklyn, Jersey City, and Hoboken have now to do, is to Lold the Presidents and Dircetors of the com- panies directly responsible for the stoppage of the boats in bad weather. If these officials do not control the ferries, they had better resign, and escapo the odium of their mismanagement. The Legislature, too, is bound to act, and compel the ferry compauies to provide decent boats, to take proper precautions against the loss of life, to usc ice boats and all other me: to keep an open channel in Winter, and g erally to show some regard for the comfort, con- venience, and safety of their passengers, Finally, we must have a tunnel under the East River, a bl"ylge over it, or both; but in the meanwhile e mean to agitate till these companies are compelled to provide ferry- peril to the publie, THE RAILROAD WA The chronie disagreements between the News York Central and the Harlem and Hudson River Rai 1s, which have been threatening a violent outbreak for the last sixteen years, reached a eris sterday. We lave no means of knowing which of the companies i3 in the right, or with which the victory is most likely to remain. It only concerns us to know that, however the quarrel may have en and how- ever it may be scttled, the publie is certain to be a sufferer by its eontinuance, The cause of the trouble scems to have been the adjustment of rates for the transportation of freight between New-York and the West; though the oecasion of it, no doubt, was the (oepnt election for officers of the Central Road, on Mr. Vanderhilt, who had already obtained contiol of both the rontes between Albany and New-york, was { in the attempt to secure the management of the great thorough- fare from Albany to the West. Close upon the 13 of (he election followed an open declara- tion of The apportionment of freight- tolls wps made the casus belli. Mr. Vanderbilt Propo oA that for every car-load of freizht sent Waoust pver the Hudson River or Harlem Rail- wosd) the Central Company should send one car-load South from Albany to New-York., To this the Central not unreasonably demurred: the length of their road being abont double claimed that they were entitled to send two loads for Vanderbilt's one, or that the tolls should be divided pro r The consequence was that Mr. Vanderbilt suddenly broke off all intercomse with the Central Road, and put a stop to all the facilities usually granted to passengers over connecting lines, It was an- on and after the 15th inst. the | nounced that Hudson River and Harlem “roads would trans- | her freight nor passengers beyond East Albany, leaving both to make their way across ney Road. To connteract this arrangement, we learn that the managers of the Central have made a contraet with the Housatonic Railroad, and for the present will send their freight by that and the Westorn Massachusetts road to Bridgeport, wd and the New-Haven Railroad with this y. The opening of the Hudson River in the Spring will of course introduce a new element into the fight. While the railroad men are thus cutting each other's throats, we lad to sce that the Legis- lature is coming to the rescue of the ontraged public. In the Assembly yesterday, on motion of Mr. Wood, the Railroad Committee, by a unanimaus vote, wi structed to investigate the present quarrel, and report sucha bill as they might judge expedient. Inthe Senate, Mr. H. C. Murphy introduced a bill, which was promptly passed by yeas 19, nays 0, which scems to us to go to the root of the matter. It com- pels connecting roads to sell tickets, check baggage, and transport freight, with- out breaking bulk, to all stations at which traing stop. In caso of a disagreement between companies, the State Engineer is to act s umpire, and an appeal from his decision is to lie to the Supreme Court of the Albany district, where it shall have preference over all other causes, no delays in transporta- tion to be allowed while the'appeal is pending. A refusal to comply with the decision is to subject the president and divectors to a fine of 83,000 for each day’s neglect while the case is pending, and after the decision of the Engineer in court to a fine of #5,000 and imprisonment in the eounty jail for a period not exceeding one year. Setting aside the merits of the present controversy, of which we profess neither to know nor to care very much, we shall be de- lighted at the passing of any measure which will teach railway corporations that they are created for the public convenience, and not oxclusively for the pecuniary emolument of their managers. And we know of few com- panies which need this lesson more than the Harlem and the Hudson River. How far the new managers of the Central mean to study the comfort and safety of their patrons there has not yet been time to learn; but as to the roads which have so long had a shameful eminence for their insolent disregard of the convenience of travelers and shippers, we are not without hope that the present battle may result in doing both them and us a little good.

THE COMMITTEES ON CITIES AND RAILROADS—THE RAILROAD DIFFICULTY—THE NEW-YORK AND TEXAS TRANSPORTATION COMPANY—REPEAL OF THE FREE PASS ACT—NEW-YORK CITY BILLS. BY TRLEGRAPH TO THE TRINUNE. ALzaNy, Jan. 18.—As was predigted in this corre- spondence, the action of the Hudson River Railroad Com- pany in breaking up the arrangement 8o long ex tweon that railroad and the New-York Central, ereated a spivit in the Legislature not at all favorab) the interests of Mr. Vanderbilt. Resolutions and calculated to bring the'Hudson and other roads which act likewise, to terms, were introduced in both Houses to- day. Awongjtheso was a resolution instructing the Rail- road Committee to inquire uto the cause of the troublos between the Central and IHudson River roads, and sce what Jegislation 18 necesssry to prevent any further an- noyance to passengers, &c., such as oxists now; a notice for an Aot to prevent the Hudson and Harlem from charging more than two cents per wmile fare, and an Act to change the Northern terminus of the road to this city. The most tmportant of all wae the bill introdaced by Senator Henry C. Murphy, and passed by the Senate. It was as follows: BECTION 1.

Adjourned. —_— GRAND BALL OF THE CERCLE FRANCAIS DE LHARMONIO. s £ In January, 1366, seven wise men of Gotham, French by birth, Hebrew by faith, Solons by nature, en- tered into solemn league and covenant top ay open court to Folly once a month. Theirs wasa musical as- sociation, a dramatic association, a dancing associe ation, but first, last, and always, a laughing associa- tion. Once a month, tkough stocks fell and storms rose, though kings abdicated and Congresses . wrangled, though the land of their birth was disturbed and the land of their adoption distracted, these adventurers, who Lad discovered the Fountain of Youth, met to felicitate each other thereypon, and to take a fresh sip of its intoxieatien. In January, 1867, the Harmonio's Circle has extended its bonds to include sixty philosophers, and last night its cus- tomary place of meeting in Houston-st. could not hold it, ang it overflowed (Shakespeare mixed his metaphors) into Irving Hall, with many ripples of wives, and pretty daughters, and friends ontside tho primary ring, while the Harmomio's were themselves made. This French Masque and fancy ball was the first grand ball of the season, and decidedly the best for several seasons. The decora- tions, which were the inevitable flowers, and wreaths, and bird cages, and much bunting, Freneh and American, were tasteful enough, the music good, the atmosphere agreeable. Nearly all the dancers were masked, as they shonld have been, and, though the floor looked always full, there was no crowding of the sets, and no fatal disaster to garments. The toilets were various, brilliant, much more original, and richer than usual, and generally tasteful. That inexplicable law of contrariness which forces maidens with square ankles, and splay feet into peasant girls dresses, and insists that ponderous matrons shall'wear baby waists and galloon sleeves in an insane attempt to look like milkmaids, and gyp- sies, and mandolin players; which persuades certam lean and pinched anatomies of the other sex to as- sume the close integnments of the courtiers of his most gracious Majesty King Charles the First, or the somber hose of “Hamlet” and drives the stout men into the fanciful rai ment of Mereutio, or the abbreviated costume of o puge—this mysterious but absolute decree pre vailed as usual—notwithstanding which fatality the general effect was good. Mary Stuart, through the interposition of some most clement fate, was not trotted out—not to speak it profanely—during the evening. How she and her pearls, and her black (cotton) velvet hideousness, and her preposterous ’mvu were pretermitted we were too grate- ul to inquire. There was rather a scarcity of peasants of nationalities unknown to traveless and geography, and acknowledged only of the stage; not more than forty—with the usual short red petti- coat, the usnal black lace flounces, the usual tinsel trimmings, and the inevitable gaiter boots with hoge rosettes—enlivening the Calodonians and other dances familiar to the peasantry of all coun- tries. Night and Morning poetically expressed, in a metaphor of tarletane, and tinsel; Gretchen and Greek, bird fanciers and harlequins, Circassian besu- ties, and Othello, with a number of his brothers, not montioned in dramatic annals; soldiers of all poetie nations, whose distinguishing characteristic to bo very wide trowsers suddenly suppressod at the Kknee,and an inability to carry whatever weapon 8p- pertained to the costumes, o noblo savage, o prile of the harem, troubadours, five Rebeceas, and Rosinas, nineteen heroes and three marchionesses, Madame do dour, Louis Quatorze, three Faust, 80 stout that he seemed quite to have gotten over any little disappointment ho might havo bad in referenco fo his fture peace,—all thess and hundreds more spun round and round, and round, ill the kaleidescope made onc's eyes ache. Noticeablo among many others wasa lady in blue silk, with ornaments of embroidered
