JSLUli 11 J-.J, j . ' Our New York Letter. , tKroia par regular cfirjraptmtom.} N*w York, N. V., 9 AX. 8, 1581. [ The New Year brihga an unacctutom- . od season of sleighing to the metropolis, ► *°d people he*"© h*vc tm long l>#on ac- ; ousiomed to look upon old-fashioned storms as a thing of the past, that they are totally unprepared to meet it with runner and bells. In the days of Kipp I and Brown's I ine of stages, slft-ighs twenty feet? long were put out iu place of the 'bus, on the slightest provocation ; and the small boys on tho corners cannonaded the marry passengers with snowballs all the way up town. YVitii the advent of at restaurs thiu old fashion passes away, and soon the truck men sold out' their runners and belis. For three I days past the sleighing on Broadway has boon magnificent, and every driver of stage, carl or carriage Jut* lamented j the lack of convenience to meat the challenge of the snow. For several days I it would have been cheaper to buy & hotel or charter an ocean yteainship than attempt to hire a livery sleigh. Of course, the millionaire youths had their oirn sleighs, and rattled around the avenues in rapid style. They can afford it. Tlio<*e who could not, and had | not the ducats to do likewise, sat down j and mailed their cards. Calling, "witli { the compliments of the season," ba* j i been general, but far more ceremonies I than in past Knickerbocker times, j Msgnificeat toilets on the part of the i ladies. Ana dress suits for thegentlonten, have taken all heart out of tho old neighborly custom, and left shoddy to take tho lead under the new regime. During tho past year there has been I x t % 1

a largo export demand for American rubber boots and shoes, cloths, clothing, wool-lined goods, druggist's sundries, etc., and thoso havo bean shipped iu largo quantities to Norway, - Sweden, Germany, Australia and South America. The consumption of raw materials has increased about twenty per cent, duriug last year, and of products in about the . same proportion. There lias lately been a general readjustment of prices baaed upon the present cost of production ; and although these are now lower than last winter and spring, they are still some fifteen to twenty per cent, higher than the svorage of last year's prices, which were tho lowest for many years. In theatrical affairs, pure and simple, tho aclirity during the past twelve , months has been remarkable. New York i of course, as the metropolis of the con- ! tinent, has been an index of tho state of the drama throughout the country at i large. And it must bo admitted that New York has seldom put forth stronger claims to shapo tho theatrical fashions. The engagement of Mil© Bernhardt, in spite of the clap-trap with which it was forced upon the attention of the public | must always l>e regarded as an iinportj ant episode in tho history of the American stage. That sho was re'egaded by the pross to the class of clever actresses rather than placed upon the plane of j absolute genius, did not affect her pe- ; cuniary succoss, for it is questionable whether any foreign artist ever spoilt Egyptians to a greater enteut than this charming daughter of Israel.

©x-Sonstors Limning and Nichols, and i ^ De YY itt C. West. A great many otlier | j men might have been better spared. ' j The chief landmark wo shall mis* is tho i { • Rev, Dr. Uhapin, for the last thirty-live j years pA«tor of tho Univorsolist church j j of tli© Divine Paternity. The whole j > i country mourns him as a gifted qrator 1 i j and profound thinker, who hat done • | bis generation good service by bit chain- [ piomhip ot liberal idea*, but a growing j «/?<) grorr.t gcer«r*fxm n j honor him as a great-hearted hum, whoso 1 | love always went out to the little ones, | j the lort and the unfortunate.

I)r. 1 • Bellows still preaches regularly to his I iluck, hut Dr. Tyng, at the age of eighty, i lias been mired as emeritus rector and . tartly ascends the pulpit. As a pulpit I orator. Dr. Uhapin has boon without a ; : peer for r quarter of a century— at lean j so far «s this city is concerned. New ; Y ork 1ms never had many famous ' preacher*. Tho average pulpiteer is a ! trill© heavy. Dr. Bet hum©, was tho most electrifying of the preacher* — but | ho had to go over to Brooklyn to find a ? properly sympathizing audience. The prevailing policy of railroad man- ' agora is to take the present exception- } ally profitable business of tho roads hk a gauge far future earnings, and to rai>© i the GiAre capital to whatever amount | these earning* will make dividends of fi I to 8 per centum upon. If this policy is : adhered tof it h very easy to see fhat its tendency will be to keep the mtot for transportation much higher than they rhould be ; in tuber word*, to impose an unnecessary tn> upon the exchange 1 of agricultural products, meruhatuliks, j and ©vcr|thmg which uarkc* up(V©ichts. %4
