generally olserved by all classes of our
“petfple. ‘ Tlie 4 weather was clear and
pleasant, and enabled ail to enjov out
door sports, as well as the inside festivi
ties. Business was almost entirely
suspended, except with those who lir.d
articles tor sale suitable for the occasion.
In thg Caihofic Church and at St. Paul’s
Episcopal Pintcc}i, the usual services
were observed, and were largely at
tended.
In the streets thoro Was any quantity
of fire crackers discharged, winding up
at night, with bonfires, Roman candles,
wheels, pistols, sky rockets, snakes, and
fire crackers.
In the dwellings there were the Christ
mas breakfasts, dinners, suppers, and
evening parties—turkeys, cakes, egg

so far as we could learn everything
passed off pleasantly and satisfactorily.

wish many returns of this happy Festival,

Puffin.;. —There are various kinds of

of making one now. Everybody has
heard of Black mail, hut BlacV-pnfling—
the text of this brief discourse—is
worse than anything we have seen, or
heard of, or read about, or felt. Where
ever we turn we see these blazing
tobacco-torches, inhale their foul smoke,
and are absolutely sick—under the
waistcoat. Ihese tobacco-locomotives
can be seen everywhere—you can see
them, by scores, mounted on drays
driving mules and horses, tugging along
large loads of Cotton. The locomotive
of this kind shaves you, brushes your
clothes, polishes your boots, no doubt
cooks your dinner, and hands yuu your

Change us State. —One of the Daily
Press Typos, impressed with a pleasant
belief in the happiness of t he matrimo.
nial life, got his own consent to change j
his state of single blessedness, and, an j
interesting young lady’s consent to
change her’.s; and, as change is the
order of the day, and union the general
and popular sentiment, they were both
made one, at St. John’s E. M. Church,
at eight o’clock last night. We allude
to the marriage of John* M. IV eigi.k,
Esq., to Miss Emily S. McCakekuty,
all of this City, which took place as j
above stated, in presence of a large '
number of friends.
Though “doublets” are not allowable j

cases of this kind. Our young friend
has, therefore, done done well, we hope.
It) improving his own “lorm,” l» has
enlarged the sphere of his usefulness :
reconstructing himself, he has strength
cned the union ; and, now, it only re
mains for us to wish him and his fair
young bride all the happiness which
they can possibly enjoy, and to hope
that it may as well Be said of th' in :

FrttE in the First District.—A
dwelling house on the South side of
Broad street, near Houston street, First
District and First Ward, was consumed
by fire on Tuesday last about 1 o’clock
P. M. The house belonged to Capt.
Jolin P. Gould, and was, unfortunately,
not insured. It was occupied by Mr.
Geo. Roberts and family, who were at
dinner when the fire occurred. The
Firemen were promptly on the spot, and
by their exertions confined the fire to the
building which was destroyed, though a
high wind wash owing occasionally, and
several houses in the vicinity took fire
on ce or twice. Too much praise
cannot be bestowed on these gallant
men who so promptly respond to
the call of danger, and at the risk of life
and limb save the property of their fel
low-citizens from destruction. 1 hey de
serve all the encouragement they get
lrom the city authorities, and even more.
Th 6 fire is supposed to have origin
ated from fire crackers being thrown
upon the roof.

REPORTED FOR THE DAILY PRESS.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, Dee. 25.
At four o’clock this afternoon the
Secretary of State introduced to the
President Monsieur Bertheuy, the new
French minister, who was accompanied
by Marquis de Moutholon, retiring Am
bassador. M. Bertheuy addressed the
President as follows:
President: 1 have the honor to
place in your hands the letters which
accredit me in the quality of Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten
tiary of his Majesty, the Emperor of
the French. In confiding to me tlie
mission to represent him near you, my
sovereign especially charged me to
make known to you the value he
attaches to the relations of friendship
which exist between France and the
l nited States of America, to maintain
these relations, to draw them more
close, if it he possible, in view of the
development of interests common to the
two countries. Such will he the con
stant aim of my efforts, and I have a
firm hope to attain it, if, as 1 am in
advance assured, the government and
people of the United States share in
those sentiments of which I bring to
this place the sincere expression.
The President replied as follows :
M. Bertiieny— Sir: Grateful affec
tion towards the French nation is among
the earliest, the most profound, and the
most enduring sentiments of tho people
and Government of the United States.
We constantly try to believe that no
interests of either country can ever re
quite alteration as antagonism between
them. While intimate commercial in
terests tend to bind them together, as
you have justly observed, they have
at the same time a common aim in the
advancement of civilization and human,
ity throughout the world. In expressing
these feelings 1 am only repeating what
has been uniformly said by the United
States since l hey became sovereign.
We have had much reason to be pleased
with the conduct of your predecessor,
the Marquis de Montliolou. Be assured,
Monsieur Bertheuy, that no considera
tion or courtesy will he withheld which
shall tend to make the performance of
your duties agreeable and pleasant.
This ceremony being over, the leave
taking of the Marquis de Monlholon and
tho correspondence of the President to
him was of the most cordial character.

We take the following from Win. Bryce
Co.'s New York Cotton Circular, of Dec.
21st :
The receipts during the week have been
rather more ample than any week yet, but
not up to a point which would indicate tho
crop to be as heavy as wehaveesti.; uted, if
we consider the fact of how many jlanters
have bei-n pushing lern.tid their cr >p to
enable them to ,-ettlc up the year’s accounts
with their freed men laborers by Christmas.
During the next week we may expect a very
heavy total < t rece pts, and then a falling
off till the loth prox., between which date
and February 1.-t we ought to have the
heaviest receipts of the season. The down
ward tendency of the gold premium duriug
the week has attracted consi lerable atten
tion, and it is considered by many to be
a purely speculative move, from which a re
action is inevitable. Humors are rife iha*
the Treasury has been secretly selling gold,
a rumor that we hope is groundless, for the
immense coin reserve now held by the Gov
ernment is the most effective bar to specula
tion, as the dread of the immense power in
the Secretary’s hands to break a concerted
movement tor a large rise is salutary in the
extreme, and is powerful in direct j ropor
tion to tLe reserve held. Granting that the
Treasury could put gold down to 25 by de
pleting its vaults, what would be the result ?
A rise more marked than the fall, for ppteu
lation would have nothing then to fear, and
coutd t'-ss ibe premium to any point it
would. Sterling has ruled firmly during tbo
week with a fair offering of Cotton bills. We
see no reason for any weakness in Sterling
for some time to ,eume, when we consider
the heavy balance of trade against us, and
the immense sums which will be used abroad
by our countrymen during tlic Paris Expo
sition of this year. With these points bo
lore us we cannot think gold will do
cline much if left free ot Government inter
ference. The goods market continues with
out Commotion, and this stagnation may he
expected to continue until the Spring trade
fairly opens, and until goods begin to move
freely ; our own spinners will not he exten
sive buyers, although some of our milts are
laying in supplies, behoving in higher prices
in the Spring. The necessities of the mills
will be ieduced after the first prox. as welt
as their production by the adoption of the
ton-hour ays ern of labor in place of the
eleven hours’ work now demanded.
