LETTER FROM NEW YORK.
New York, Jan. 23.
SNOW
has again visited ns, and we expect to hear the ‘'tin
tinnabulation of sweet sounds" from merry sleigh-
bells again. We had a few days of thaw the last part
of last week, when old Jack Frost again pinched up
the checks of the shriveled poor, and made the rich
gather their furs more closely around them. Coal
dealers thermometrieally take advantage of the change
of the atmosphere and fulfil the injunction (not di
vine,) to "put money in the purse," by adding a del
la r a ton for their black diamonds.
MUCH REUBEX
is freely expressed here that Hon. .Alex. H. Stephens
will not consent to become a representative of your
State in Congress. No man in the South probably is
more kindly thought of by all classes of our people
thuu lie, and it is well remsmbered that were his ei-
lorts, a couple oi years since, successful in behalf of
peace, there would have beau less to forget on both
of what was then two sides of a great country.
PRIVATEERS.
We have had two privateer “scares" this week so
fir, and may have a half dozen more before the week
is out. One of them was occasioned by the steamer
Cuba, eleaung lor BaltimNre, and not sailing for two
or three days thereafter. She was not detained at all.
and has since arrived at Baltimoic, whence she wilt
assume her place on ihc line from tliai port to Havana,
instead of engaging in the privateer business under
the Fenian flag. The “Faugh-a-baUaghs" will have
to try again.
The other case was more plausible, and the authori
ties detained the splendid steamer Meteor, (which was
built by Boston capitalists very quietly the last j ear
of the war for the express purpose of hunting up the
Alal\.ma,) which cleared for Panama, but some ol oiu
Spamsb residents had been watching her, and one of
them made affidavit of his belief that she was intended
i a Chilian privateer to prey upon Spanish commerce.
An examination taking place on beard shows ihat she
has hardly any cargo other tnan heavy timber, which
naval pc.-pic* think is intended to strengthen her decks
for the reception of guns and gun-carriages, and other
heavy war material. As yet no war munitions have
been found. She is very fast, and is generally be
lieved to belong to somebody interested in Chilian af
fairs.
cottox insurance
In this city has risen considerably the past week.
Some companies refuse to take risks on this material
in store in this city on any account, while others have
advanced their premiums irom 3 to 6 and 7 per cent.
The recent disastrous fires which have proved so dis
astrous to stocks of cotton have proved equally as dis
astrous to Insurance companies, and it is said that an
inspection of tho books of our underwriters would ex
hibit anything but a favorable exposition of their finan
cial status. One company, the Columbian, has, in the
terse phrase of Wall street, “gone up.” Several others
are expected to make Eerial flights in the same direc
tion shortly.
personal.
The jocund countenance of "ye senior” of the Sa
vannah Herald dropped iE at these heardquarters on
Tuesday evening, and he has been holding what his
friends (and they are legion) cull a "Mason.ic levee"
at the Astor House. The only regret is that his visits
Manhattanwaid are so few and far between. On his
return he will take to Savannah his accomplished wifm,
whose loss to her large circle of friends here will be
seriously lelt.
ICE-EOAT RACES
have been as prevalent on the Hudson river as mea
sles in a Maine regiment. They are great institutions,'
and always citia. t great crowds of people to witness
them. The speed of these craft is perfectly tremend
ous, and a high pressure locomotive has no show
whatever with them. They account one of these erktt
as “no shucks" unless it can travel a mile a minute,
and with a high wind they easily accomplish three
miles in two minutes I They are made triangular, set
on irons fashioned Bomewhat like skates, with the for
ward, or rather the iron at the peak, used as the guide
or rudder. They are made quite large, spread an im
mense sail, and, being floored, carry a very large num
ber of persona. The mauteuvring of these swift craft
is a distinctive science, and developes a skill almost
unknown to the common laws of navigation.
Terrible Acrideut in Hull, England—
Seven Houses Blown Down—Four Per
sons Killed.
During the day one of the most terrible gales that
have ever visited Hull has been raging through the
town aud neighborhood, and has resulted in a most
terrible calamity. During the early part of the day
the gale wus exceedingly violent, anil caused great
damage in many parts of the town. About 9 o’clock
a gust of wind of unusual violence caught a large
new building. Intended fora coach manufactory, and
blew one or the walls down, which fell on to some
houses beneath. An entire block of bouses in Tem
perance street were thus either blown down or com
pletely suiased in by ihe falling wall. Wdb out a
moment’s wurnlng seven bouses, with their iuliahl-
tanis, were converted into a heap of ruins, in some
cases not even a wall lieing left standing. Beside
the houses which were thus completely destroyed,
the fronts of four or five standing opposite were
smashed in, five of the seven houses being down a
narrow court.
When tlie crash of the falling houses was heard
the greatest alarm and consternation, as may be
imagined, prevailed in tlie neighborhood, and num
bers rushed to the scene of tlie calamity only to And
tiieir friends and neighbors burled in a heap of ruins.
Man; were*found in a frightfully mangled condition,
and four were found dead. Two children, one a
girl, were preserved In a miraculous manner. When
the tiopse fell in they, by some menus or other,
slipped beqegth several beams, which, being thrown
into a slanting position, protected them from the
falling ruins. When fouBd. tile girl inquired pite
ously arter her mother! “Never uijud me, Outlook
after my mother.” was her cry.
Important Rumob.—'We hoard it stated last night
(says tho New Orleans Delta, of the 18th,) that Gen.
Sheridan had given orders for all vessels leaving this
port for the Bio Grande to stop at Galveston and take
ou the troops. This seems to indicate fe determination
on the part of the distinguished commander of the
Gulf Division to be prepared for any emergency that
may arise on that troubled frontier.
Governor Parsons, of Alabama, vetoed the bill, rsgu>
lating contracts with freedmen on the ground that no
special law was needed for ’ them more than other
parties making contracts. He also vetoed the bill ex
tending to freedmen the State criminal laws that wer*
applicable to free persons of color in old times. Ha
considers these laws impolitic and unjust as applied
now to freedmen.

Kadical and Conservative Strength in
tlie Kluusc.
The New York Herald estimates the com
parative strength of the component elements
of the House of Representatives as follows :
“Tlicre are in tlie House as it is now constituted, ex
cluding the representatives from the eleven Southern
States, one hundred and eighty-four members. Of this
number, forty-one are Democrats. Fifty-three Republi
cans voted in favor of qualified negro suffrage in the
District of Columbia, and are, therefore, entitled to be
called Conservative Republicans. Beside these, there
were eleven members elected as Republicans who voted
agamst negro suffrage in every form in which it came
up, both qualified and universal. Their names are re
corded with the Democrats ou every vote taken on that
measure. This gives the anti-radical strength of the
House one hundred and five votes, as follows .
Democrats : 41
Conservative Republicans 53
Republicans voting with Democrats on each vote... 11
Total 105
This leaves the radicals only seventy-nine votes out
of the one hundred and eighty-four, giving that tac
tion the benefit ol all the Republican absentees when
the vote on negro suffrage was taken, also including
Speaker Cultax, who dodged all the votes on that oc
casion. The most favorable calculation, therefore,
that can be made for the radicals gives the conserva
tive portion ol Congress twenty-six majority over them.
In the face of this fact, with this large majority who
arc ready and anxious to support the policy, of Presi
dent Johnson, Stevens manages to cany all his points,
and is not only delaying reconstruction, but is also
gradually tying the hands of the Executive, and will
soon njake him powerless unless the radicals are
checked in their schemes- There were only one hun
dred and seventy members preset)} or voting when the
question was taken ou negro suffrage in the Distrjci-
Of those not voting ten were Republicans and lifer
Democrats. Of those voting, tliirty-seven, insteacWfe..
thirty-five, as heretofore stated, were Democrats. Add
to this the eleven Republicans who voted with the radi
cals against recommitting the bill or against qualified
suffrage, and then voted with the Democrats against
the bill, and we have only sixty-nine radical Repub
licans voting on that day, and yet carrying their point
over the heads of sixty-three conservative Republicans
of all shades and the Democrats combined. A more
disgraceful route of a superior force by a minority was
sever before reeprded in history.’*
Patent Beer.”
Tlie dritikeia of lager beer have been a little puz
zled. and perhaps bewildered, of late by a contest
concerning the relative merits of differeut brewings
or lager beer. Some time since, a number of leading
breweiT, having desired a process by which the de
fects of tlie old system of brewing would be over
come, aud the amount of starch wasted would be
saved, tested the system proposed by an eminent
practical chemist. They found they were thus en
abled to convert the entire starch Into sugar, to im-
f ireve tlie beer in 1.8 strength, and Its keeping quall-
les and to brew regardless of the season. Tlie new
beer found favor In aU respects, and was rapidly su
perseding the old, when those who adhered to the
ancient process cast about them for some mode to
keep their breweries open. They raised the cry,
“ Patent Beer?" aud iutimated that the pleasant
beverage was compounded of something else besides
mull aud hops—that it ought to be .spelt “bier” in
English as well as in German, being an Ingenious
device Tor carrying people to their gr .ves. So per
sistent wits the cry that many honest people fancied
they could taste terrible tilings in the new drink, and
complained accordingly. It is alleged. Indeed, with
whsi w«i runt we know not, that a man was often
called to pass judgment as “Patent Beer” upon some
of the old beer specially doctored for tile occasion.
The brewers under the new process, alter submitting
to these attacks in silence, have at length chosen to
reply to them in a legitimate way. They have sub-
mllted their beerto the analysis o'r eminent chemists,
in comparison with the beer made by the old pro
cess, and uie result, as will be seen by a communi
cation elsewhere, Is n triumphant demonstration In
their favor. Nevertheless, if any prefer the old beer,
be bus only to add a little water in wfilch starch has
l/eeu dissolved to tlie new beer, to reproduce the old
and suit ids palste exactly.—N. Y. Courier.

The nev.-a by the Java contains the following i
A viojsnt spgw storm prevailed in London gnd its
vicinity on the 11th. The telegraph wires v/ere pros
trated in all directions, snd telegraphic communica
tion between London snd the provinces had been en
tirely suspended for two days—a moat unusual occur
rence. Bailway traffic was also materially deranged.
Telegraphing still continued suspended on the morn
ing that the Java left Liverpool. Out of nine wires
from London to the Continent, only one continued in
working order.
The intelligence from Spain shows a very unsettled
state of affairs, with no change of importance in favor
of sithpr party. Gen. Prim was said to be precipitate
ly retreating toward Portugal, at the head of a dis
couraged mob of insurgents ; but the official telegrams
are not to be relied on.
The Paris correspondent of the London Times states
that at a recent meeting of the Cabinet Mexican affairs
were dismissed, and it was decided that the time for
withdrawing the French troops from that country had
not yet arrived. The Fenian excitement is (till rife in
England, snd arrests continue to be made.
