Both vessels wall discharge and re pair. t , Along, the lliadsou.. The recent cold weather has had its effect on the Hudson river by closinethat stream with ica from Troy to Hudson. In that dis tance, for the three or four days, huge fields of ice nave been moved backward with the tide, until Wednesday night, when a nortit eastsnow storm set in, and raged furiously all that night, the wind blowing heavily. The storm was the heaviest from Albany to Hncistin, extending . as it did nearly the whole length of the river. Yesterday morn ing thi3 ice at Castleton was fast, aid' Will probably remain so unless a freshet ensues. At Schociack it was also fast, and in fact from that point down to Hudson. At the latter.place the river is sofull of ice that the ferry boat can hardly navigate. The Albany boats stopped running three or four days -since as did also the New York and Hudson steamers. The Kingston or Rondout boats are still running, meeting with very little obstrUction. Shortly after the snow, ceased falling, the wind stiddenly shifted to the northwest and blew a perfect hurricane - The water rose to an unusual -height, the waves along the , line of the Hudson River Railroad, in 'some instances dashing over the track and even to the top .of the cars attached to passing trains. A sloop, name - unknown, was dragging her anchor at the northern entrance of the Highlands aslhe train passed. Her, main sail was torn loose and her topmast gone. Just below Sing Sing a schooner was ob served lying on the beach the waves mak ing a-clean breach over her. The gale was -a heavy one, and np to this time of writing it is still raging. The river to all practical purposes is closed from Albany to .Hudson. No damage has occurred to the track of the Hudson River Railroad. The Gale at Buffalo. BUrrAno, Thursday, Dec. 21.—The fol-, lowing tiresome of the effects of last night's gale: St. John's Church buret damaged :and window's broken. The. spire of the mew Universalist Church rocked so badly :that it crumbled thecapstonesanddislodged some of them. Part of the roof of the •Covrier office was blown off. Tne snioke-stack and part of the roof of the Buffalo Steel Works was :blown dowri. The steam barge International was blown from its moorings and carried down the' Niagara river som distance. A large num ber of chimneys were blown down all over the city.
