Darinf the storm of Sunday after-jaoe aod nijtbt six Inches of snow fell hi this City, Int owlnx to hes-jr which accompanied tt was rery unevenly distributed.

Drifts ten formed on the south side of the ctom streets, asms places reaoblnr to a depth of three or four jt, sod when tho doors were opened yesterday porilBC banks of feathery snow toppled In upon baQ floor, and the stoops were found almost ajjddeo beneath a mantle of white. The sidewalks 4 the City were quickly cleared, and the snow was jOcd op In the streets, where It clogged np the gut- and raised Itself In parallel walls along the of the horse car tracks. Then the thaw be- aukind the sidewalks were converted into muddy, $BS1 pathways, upon which the foot of the in' (Utlooi pedestrian was continually slipping, and jrte which the mud was spattered on trousers and tint without cessation from early in the morn-ggrjatlllate in the evening. Walking throuirbout lday wu attended by all the annoyances' which 5-York mdd can Inflict, and a colder temuera-IPS would have been welcomed with gratitude by leasftrians all over the City, even though it result-aitfe tae formation o.f Ice on the walks. -Its tall of snow was not heavy enough seriously tDhmpetl travel on the illffettnt lines of surface loKii, the discomfort of the horse cars rreally Increased.

Snow-plow were kept In gotion tbroQichout Hunday; night uutll the storm (cased, and the tracks were kept tolerably clear lut the pulling was hard, and ail the lines were abUted to double up on Sunday night, and cou-puMln that condition duriug Uie greater part of jeitenlay mornltg. Kacli car was furnished with (so drivers, one to handle the four horses, and ft other to manipulate the brakes. This management ti a very pleasaut one for the drivers, who ordinary, times, are as thoroughly isolated from iocisi world us though they were locked la a jrlsuo cell. Yesterday they could talk to each Kher, and thoy Improved tbe Ooitortuntty fully sif in theiu(ielves as heartily as men who work hour a day-can possibly enjoy themselves.

ttich it would seem are numerous enough at all tones. The number of tours- running was (reduced half, and the result-as that those in use were ovded with passengers, all of them muddy, and ost of them In bad humor, and a ride down town feriar the busy hours of the day was a trial not to It hghtlv spoken of. was substituted for tat matting which usually covers the floor of the nr. This straw soon became saturated with slush isdmud, and it clung around the legs of men and voice addiug to' the discomforts and annoyances a car travel at its best. Very little time was lost the trips, however, the cars generally making Kbedule time.

About noon the Klghtn-avenue, feoadway. Avenue aud the Harlem cars of the Third avenue line, resumed usual trips. tuning with two horses -only, but the other lines were "doubled np" duriug the day. The Broadway Mates also ran with four and three horses. Instead -el two.

and the number of their trips was dliain- strd accordingly. f7 The thaw made sai havoc with most of the streets the City. Broadway was not In such a bad as might have been expoctod, owing to the Minors! of the last fall of snow, on Friday night. was possible to cross the struct, even at the host Office, without having previously taken a course of kwoniln swimming, and the sticky mud did not leach above the average human ankle, it was different In Park-row, which was converted luto a veritable pool of filthy slush from Broadway to Printing houe-)uare. The horse car companies had sprinkled their tracks with salt, aud the snow, Belting rapidly, transformed the street Into a muddy canal, which it required no small amount of courage to attempt tu ford.

The contrast between the beautiful white snow which covered the City Ball Pari and the black filthy slush of the streets lummndlog It was very marked, and not particularly to observe. In all the small streets down town the filth was accumulated to the depth of from I to I Inches. Wheeling was very dim-colt and the horses floundered through the soft saosr sad mud knee-deep in some places. The gnat rush of business which characterized last week came to an end with the holidays, and there was so serious blockade of the streets leading to the steam-boat docks. It la fortunate that the storm did not come until after Christmas, otnerwise hut ti ess would have been seriously lmoeded bv the tradition of the streets.

As it was. there was no peat trouble, and the spectacle usual on such occasions, swearing truckmen, was dispensed with. iruTei in me rauroaus jeaaing irom uiis vity was lot seriously obstructed, although the Pennsylvania and New-Jersey Central trains were generally behind time In arriving at Jersey City, being delayed from a quarter to half an hour. On Long Island wily has there been any great trouule. The wide plains traversed by the Long Island road offered a ane Held for the play of the wind of Sunday night, and the snow was drifted In such masses at some points ou tho road, that trains were delayed live ana su hours.

1 he ureenport mall, which was- due at Hunter's Point at 10:65 A. was snow-bound at Yapbank. and reached Hunter's Point late yesterday afternoon. On HemDsteud Plains and at different points in Suffolk County steam plows and now drifted back almost as fust as It was thrown horn the track. The blockade is oue ot the most difficult to overcome of all In the history of the feed.

All the trains were snow-bound at different points during the day, and the drifts were said to have been blither than any seen In many years. The elevated trains of this City were not affected by Ike storm, except that the rails were made very iilim-ry. and the enirlneers at times found It diffi cult to stop promptly at the stations. i ne re were scarcely any arrival ai tnis port yesterday. A few sailinir vessels, which bad reached tote Lower Day previous to the storm of Sunday, tame uu duriug the day.

The Norwegian bark Heurik 'ILsen from Rotterdiim. had Ywi'V violent easterly gales after she passed the Banks of New- roundlajid, Cspt. aliedell reports that lor 1U days BothiDg was met with but a succession of head- nles, with terrlnc suualls and high seas. A great deal of water was shipped, as the bark rolled heav-rj In the trough of the ecu, while several sails were mowd. away, before tbev could be furled.

The Keaui shlp Lgypt. of the National Line, from Liverpool, off Sandy Hook last evening, and the British Empire, of the Alexandre Line, from Havana, was also reported yesterday afternoon. There Is good reason for believing that a uumber e( sailing vessels have been blown off the Coast. Tbe storm at Coney island exceeded in durat Ion that has occurred during the past 50 years, for three days and three nlghu a violent north-east tale prevailed. The wind was so strong that the urknien of the Manhattan Beach Company, who enraged In repairing spots here and there alonir embankment, were uuabte to stand out afainst tho storm.

Ime of the men, who per- sted in working, was lifted from his ieet ad thrown to the ground. Great quantities sand weae upHfted. maklns; holes of bom 3 to loo feet in tbe beach. The whole of tne each underlying the tracks of the Marine Hallway, taween the Brighton aud Manhattan Hotels, was up and the tracks displaced. The station "Me at either end were uot materially injured.

11 the roadway will-have to be entirely rebuilt, a larce portion of the old bulkhead aud a smaller gortion of the new one were swept away on Katur-T night The suowMlrift was tho' deep- seen in many years. In places it exceeded 4 feet In depth. Workmen who began early yesterday morning to war seven miles of track of the Manhattan beach furoad only finished at dusk! Mr. U. C.

Besides the taking of tbe Murine Railroad tracks, tbe front of bathing pavilion waacarriud away. The water out the sand from under the bulkhead, and wined Into deep pools.

The plank walk along the "ch in front of the hotel was sunk 75 ft. In wdsr to prevent similar damage to the) bulkheads ad the walks.

Long Branch, Dec. niKht at 11 o'clock the wind had gone down very much, and had changed from north-east to nearly north-west and although the snow was falling thick and fast It was expected that the ocean.

whlch had been so boisterous all day, would subside very much during tho night, and that the tron pier, which stood so firmly all through yesterday's storm, was tnrougb with Its troubles. But at 3 o'clock this morning the sea was as high as it bad been the day previous, and at 8 o'clock was at least two feet higher. Thirty of the wooden piles of the pier were torn out and hurled against the Iron pilings, tearing away nine or ten of them, as weir as thirty or forty Iron girders. Toward the north the sea seems to have been even higher than here. At Monmouth Beach it played havoc with the bulkheads and bathing-houses of the cottages.

Among the suffer-ertto a greater or lesser extent were James Bur- nara. of Morristown: Judge Teese. of Newark-hlcbard De Gray, of New Orleans; Mr. Baker. vSyman Jones, and Miss Hoadley.

of New York Mr. Baker's bulkhead was t.t the beach, but with a pretty summer house and bathing house combined. It was taken away J. Wyman Jones had a Urge slip of his lawn, 40 feet In depth by auo feet wide, carried away, leaving his cottage only 25 feet from the bluff. Passing by these cottages the bulkheads for almost feet extending nearly to Seabright, were mostly carried away.

At Seabright there has been an almost total destrui tion of bulkheads and Summer- nouses. Many ol the latter were beautiful struc turea, costing from f-MO to $fi00 each. Beyond Beabrlght the water swept over the low beach on which the railroad la built, washing the sand out from the nllinir n1 stopping all travel for a few hours. The sea washed out the many poles of the Western L'nlon Telegraph Company, throwing the wires into the nver ana stopping communication with Sandy Hook from this way for several hours. The danim on this coast, from Long Branch to Sandy Hook.

Is estimated at IIOO.OHO. Sonie of the railroads the Freehold and Jamesburg. the Freehold and Long Branch, and the New-Jersey Southern were more or less blockaded by snow, but at from 4 o'clock this afternoon all of them were in running order again. Betw een Long Branch and Red Bank the roado 'e Imnassable for slelirhs. Threw InninmivM were buried in snow-drifts near Branchville until noon, when they were extricated.

Tbe first train that made its way through to this place on the Jamesburg and Pennsylvania Railroad arrived at o'clock this afternoon. The drifts on tbe New- ora ana reenoia Railroad were as high as 10 feet At 8 o'clock the Brst train connected for points north and south. A man named Keating is reported frozen at Lakewood and another at Wall Bridge. The bridge across Squan River is surrounded with moving meses of Ice, and all trains have orders to run carefully over it. The Monmouth Park Stables are buried In the snow, and are being dug out.

Bordentowm. N. Dec. S7. The snow and wind storm which set In here yesterday morning has caused trouble on tbe tinea of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and delayed trains yesterday and to-day.

A P1U0TE8T AGAINST CHANGING THE NAME I OF TUE STREET. Thl following petition by citizens carrying on business in Park-row will be presented to the Board of Aldermen at their meeting to-day. Tbe petitioners protest strongly against any change be-icg nikde In the name of the street referred to: To thi Hoard of Aldermen of the City of St York- Wei the undersigned, business men and property-' boldtjrs of Iark-row. New-York City, do petition you that you allow the street known ana designated as Park-row to retain its said name, and that it be not changed to any other, for the reason that it wo ild be an irreparable injury to the said badness Tien, causlmr them great lnconvinienee In. their business.

For instance, peool who havs knos aud ideuttflnd loiur-establiLed business houses as well by the name of tbe street as by the name of the firm and nature of the busln ss, when Inquiring for tbe said Park -row woul I be answered that there was no Park-row but I irk -place or Park -avenue, and having sought said irms In said last-mentioned streets, and. of courSB, "not finding them, they would naturally either return home or would buy their goods and transact their business somewhere ele. thus caus ing auoss of trade and patronage to tbe business men (of Park-row by the chtaee of its fa Id name. The dhamre In the name would also neltat a change In the bill-beads, letter-beads, circulars. Ac.

and especially lu advertising the chance, and the expense attending them would be very heavy In large! business bouses. The present name Is the I most appropriate one which can be gtvei to the said street Inasmuch as Its whole fourth faces the 1ty. Park and should therefore be deuominatedTark-row; and if a change Is made In any of the streets bear! ng the prefix Park it should be one of the otbei s. because Park-row is eutitled to the said freh i la preference to the others from the fact of ts fa tbe park and being the oldest in name of then: And If any streets require a change in name on a of a similarity it should be one of the othe rather than Park-row. as there Is probably no her street lu tbe city better known than-Psrk-row, and a change of lu name, rather than preventing onfuston, would be the surest way to cause the 1 1 me.

Philadelphia, Pec 27. A new and pro spectively troublesome phase is being put upon the railroad situation hereby the discovery that two well-known Congressmen have been quietly taking notes of the doings of the Pennsylvania lioad. They have Jotted down points as to time and surroundings and conversations with passengers and train men, aud the information thus secured is to be used in Congress In un argument in favor of the Keugon bill. In conversation with one of these irentlernen. he declared that the action of the Philadelphia, Wilmlugton and Baltimore Hoad in refusing to receive the Baltimore and Ohio's freight for any Wew-York line other than the Pennsylvania, and the course of the latter named road In so otenly defvlnir tbe du-1 crees or ine niiea states conn were such assump-i lions ot individual power as snould not Deftolurated from any coraomtion.

He further referred to tL disrriuiiuation practiced by the Pennsylvania liosd against throuuh passenger, and characterized the exaction of tho cents from through passengers over aud above the fare charged locul passengers no measurea lernis. Aiuouir the posseusers detained on tho trains of the new Hue by the Pennsylvania employes have been several members of Congress. Tho Hon. Clarkson N. Potter and several of his Congressional associates were held on the mile of track by a reunsyrvania engine upward of nvc hours.

Their train, which was due iu New-York at 9:20 P. did not get in until nearly o'clock the next morning. The only train on the new line which has been suffered to pats through without detention was that containing ITcsident Hayes. Last night's and to-day's trains have gone through iu comparatively lietter time than any for a week or more. The 7 P.

M. train from New-York last nlirht was held onlv 31 uiinutes. while tlw train from the Wet got off with only 83 minutes' delay. This morning's express for Washington was delayed minutes, and the east-bound day express 10 minutes. It Is quite evident that Public opinion is very materially modifying the 'eunsylvunia's programme of obstruction but the Philadelphia.

iimlugtou aud Baltimore Hoad appears to oe making up for the Pennsylvania's weak ening. It runs slow local trains ahead of the Balti more and Ohio fast trains, thus holdlni; them back. and this mominic It held aud side-tracked east-bound day express so that it lost as minutes, and the Pennsylvania limited express was enabled to pass it and get over the Junctiou Koad without a moment's delay. TOLLS OUV TUE XI A OAR A BRIDGE. THE ATTEMPT OP THE CANADA SOLTUEIUi TO OBTAIJC "BETTER FACILITIES.

Sybaccbe, N. Dec 37. The case of the Canada Southern Railway Company against tbe International Bridge Company and the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada will be argued before Judge Wallace, at his chambers, in this city, tomorrow morning. The case is very Important one. and a large amount of money Is Involved.

The suit Is brought by the Canada South ern Railway to compel tbe International Company or the tirand Trunk Railway, the lessee of the bridge, to fix upon the tolls to be charged by tbe bridge company to the Canada Southern Hoad for crossing the bridge. The bridge company has beeu charging tbe Canada Southern (1 per car for every car that shall cross the bridge. It Is claimed by the railroad company that this amount is altar gather out of reason, and that it would build a new bridge every year or two. BV an act of the Forty-first Congress of tbe I oiled States, entitled An act to authorize the construction and maintenance of a bridge across Niagara Hirer, it was declared that the international bridge was aa established post road for tbe mails of the United Stages, and that all railway companies eel ring to use! said bridge should have and be eutitled.io equal rights and privileges In the passage of the same, and in tbe use of the machinery and fixture thereof, and of all the appurtenances thereto, under and upon such terms and con-' dittoes aa shall be prescribed by the District Court of the Cmted States for the Northern IHstrict of New-York, upon hearing tho allegations and proofs of tbe parlies In case they shall not agree. About a year atro tho Grand Trunk hallway, for the bridge company, disputed tho Jurisdiction and powers of tbe Lnited States in the premises.

The case was argued before Judge Wallace, who decided that tbe lnited States had Jurisdiction. The case now comes before Judge Wallace oa Its merit. J. Tilllngbast. General Superintendent of the New-York Central, asd Director of tho Canada Southern, doc lares that in the event of a deciaksa acainst the interests of tbe road the Canada Southern Will build now bridfe across Niagara Klver.
