A Snow Storm Almost. —The at tempt on the part of the clerk of the weather, on yesterday, to gel up an imita tion of the snow et,,rnt which the tele graph tells us has been raging at the North for the las*, few days, was a dis agreeable failure. About 12 o’clock it commenced snowing in real Korean style —the soft feathery flakes floated in the freezing wind, and in an hour or two the boys began to pelt each other with a dirty mixture of mud and water, and called ii snow-balling; hut soon the snow flakes stiffened into sleet, and sunk away into a chilling drizzle, which bids fair to last till morning. i Mb ‘ •**" y ‘ is - Watkins.—The Macon i l ,n I ,pr » ‘••‘ter in very complimentary terms to the representations recently given in that city by* the sterling company in which Mr. and Mrs. Watkins are the leading performers.

Concert Ila 1 to-morrow night, when our citizens will have an opportu nity of witnessing their rendition of a number of pieces which have been performed by them with great success to this Country and Europe. Times.—For several days the G’ltv has been exceedingly quiet. The festivities '"-Went to Christmas were succeeded by sharp, disagreeable weather, which has produced a general pr -ference lor the quiet enjoyments of home, to those public diversions inci dent to the season. The home-staying bubit of our citizens, and the absence of visitors from the country, have rendered the City peculiarly quiet. We have missed the happy groupes of colored people, who in the olden time enlivened city and country up to the close ol the holiday period,and contribu ted no little to the thrift of trade, in the liberal diffusion of their small change among the merchants. Alas, that free dom should bring with it that depress ing sense of impeeuniosity which weighs down the spirits of the white and black alike, and is the ruling cause of the prevailing dullness. Ihe Election.—The election for Judge of the Superior Court of the Middle Circuit takes place on Wednes day next, January 2d. The candidates are Judge Janies S. Hook, the present incumbent, and Hon. William Gibson. 1 liev are both gentlemen of excellent social qualities and judicial experience. Judge Gibson is a resident of our City, and is very popular, both as a civilian and as a military leader. His Senatorial term of office has expired, and if electe 1 to the Judgeship he will not hold the office of Recorder; so that there need he no objection to him on account of holding a multiplicity „f offices. lie will hold but the one. We say this much in justice to .Judge Gib son, and leave him with his friends, who, we are sure, will use every honorable exertion to elect him. Quiet Times.-—For several days the City lias been exceedingly quiet. The festivities incident to Christinas were succeeded by sharp, disagreeable weath er, which has induced a general prefer ence for the quiet enjoyments of time to those public diversions incident to the season. The home staying habit of our citizens, and the absence of visitors from file country, have rendered the City peculiarly quiet. We have missed the happy gr ups of colored people who, in the olden time, enlivened city and county up to the close of tho holiday period, and contributed no little to tho thrift of tra’e in the liberal diffusion of their small change among the merchants. Alas that freedom should bring with it that depressing sense of impeeuniosity which weighs down tho spirit of the vvnite and black alike, and is the ruling cause of the prevailing dullness.

Fleurv to Florence refers solely to the Roman question. All idea of the Pope's leaving Rome has been abandoned, although Cardi nal Antonelli made satisfactory expla nation to Minister King, yet the state ment made by the dssertotivc Romano remained uncontradicted by that jour nal.

When wo clo*e i uur lust weekly review, busi nesu was quite brisk under the influence of the Christmas trade ; but as usual at the close of the year after the demand of the season has been tilled, everything has slacked oft', and but very Pule trade has been done. The stocks are some what reduced, and there is a better feeling in pro visions, without much visible improvement in prices. It will be observed that there are really very few alterations in prices, but in the compilation of these Prices Current, we have endeavored, so far as possible, to base our quotations on actual sales, and having carefully reviewed the market, we feel that we can confidently refer you to the table* It should be borne in mind that out flo tations represent wholesale prices. Small bills , to Planters and others, are filled at a shade higher rates. Currency remains very stringent, and Securities (except strictly first-class) have beeu exceedingly dull of sale. Tho demand for all classes of Bonds, Stocks, and Uncurrent Bunk Notes is but nominal, and we note n considerable decline, and refer to table for full particulars. Specie has again met with a heavy decline, and transactions remain very limited. When we close our report the following are Brokers’ rates: Gold, buying 1 30 Gold, selling i 35 Silver, buying 1 30 Silver, selling l 33 PROVISIONS.

In closing tills, our last Weekly Report fur the year lsilfl, we would direct your attention to a cursory glance at the action of the great staple of commerce during the final week of the year. We closed .our last report on Friday night the 2*l instant, on cn irregular market, quoting Strict Middling nominally at 31 B (a 33c. On Saturday the market was decidedly fiat: there was no demand, and a very light offering stock. This was attributahle to unfavorable Liverpool advices. The sales of the day were 145 bales; re ceipts H 32 bales. On Monday there was a quiet market, and but limited transactions in the staple; holders were obliged to make concessions of about ’ (e. in order to effect sales. Sales 325 bales; receipts -18 b bales. Tuesday, being Christmas day, we have no re port to make concerning trade on that day. On U ednesday holders became quite firm in their views, and sates of 2-14 bales were made. Receipts 568 bales.
