The Pilgrim Festival on Monday night at the Aator,
was a grand affair—good eating, good drinking,
good speaking, and universal good feeling. Daniel
Webster made a great speech, at some portions of
which many of the company actually blubbered.—
Joe Hoxle, a politician of some notoriety, was so af
fected that ho boo-hoo'd right out. The speech was
powerfully eloquent, and as a proof of the strong
physical powers of this eminent statesman, it was
stated that be had travelled from Washington ex
pressly to attend the festival, and hna not slept for
thirty-seven hours, except the occasional forty winks
he obtained in the cars. Yesterday, the Union Safety
Committee again trotted him out in the Governor's
Room, at the City Hall. These receptions are com-
posed of both whlgs and democrats, who unite for
the sake of the Union—and such meetings are grati.
lying in every respect, Jas. T. Brady, a prominent
democrat, was the spokesman yesterday.
The publication of the affidavits in the Forrest suit,
hold on Saturday in Court, by Mrs. F’s Counsel, has
caused considerable discussion and excited much
sympathy for the lady. The charges made by Mr. F.,
are wholly refuted, and the cruelty o*' them become
more and more apparent. Mrs. Voorlieos, the sister
of Mrs. F., wh > has been so grossly slandered, by the
publication of extracts from her private letters to her
sister,explains those portions of them which required
it, very satisfactorily; but In somo instances she
swears that they have been altered, so ns to create
prejudice against her. some busy meddling knave,
1 doubt not, has been working upon the excited
feelings of Mr. Forrest, and like Othello, he may yet
mourn over the pearl he has cast from him. The
case Is to be resumed on Thursday next. It is doubt
tul if the Injunction preventing him from interfering
with his property, and from prosecuting his suit for
divorce th Pennsylvania, will be removed.
A clipper ship, the Sea Serpent, now loading for
California has an entire steamboat 185 feet long, ns
part of the cargo, machinery, boilers and all. It is
put on board in sections, and can be put together in a
month after arrival.
Business is dull, except with those who have holi
day ptesents. The domestic and foreign dry goods
market was duller last week; than lor any previous
one in the mem.iry of the oldest dealer. Not a pack-
age ot dry goods was received from Europe for the
entire week!
Another Fugitive Slave case has occurred here,
tliralleged slave being a waiter at fee Pacific Hotel
in this city, named Henry Long. He is claimed by
Mr. John T. Smith, of Russell Co. Virginia, and is
said to have runaway two years since. Tho proof
of his Identity, was, clear enough on Monday after
noon, when jjfte arrest was made; but the object of
the couniwiros evidently delay, in the hope proba
bly of an excitement feeing created, and on Monday,
the farther hearing was adjourned until 10 o’clock
yesterday morning. Cn that day the Tribune was
out in an article on the subject calculated to pro
mote the object of the counsel, but I am happy to
aay, that it entirely failed. A great many colored
men were collected around tho entrance to the
building in which the examination was held; but
as I walked among them I heard no threats, and saw
no disposition to riot. A largo body of Police,
however, was stationed there, and an additional force
was not far off, had their services been required
But all was quiet tnd orderly; and as the examina
tion was taken In asmall room, which held but few
persons, no difficulty occurred. The agent for the
claimant of the slave produced additional proof
yesterday, as to the identity of the man. His coun
sel, however, moved for his discharge, and denied
that the title was any other than Inferential. The
motion was denied, and they thon produced a writ
•f habeas corpus, returnable before the Supreme
Court on Thursday morning. The claimants conn
employed Mr?W. Niles, t e brother of the accused,
but this was utterly denied by her. I have no doubt
that both Niles and Roberts will be convicted, and
n pair ot greater scomps never went to tho State
prison. However they won't go there, if convicted-
lor exceptions hayebeon taken, ami they will bear,
gued, nnd then therq will bo appeals to other court*!
until time shall have wiped the case altogether from
Tcmcmbrance. CHARLEMAC.

I he milk trial, verdict for defendant—Drawing of the
American Art Union, and the dispute between the
managers arid some rejected artists.
Nbw-Yobk, Dec. 24, 1650.
Editor op tiik Nkws :
A trial of some interest took place last week; the
suit having been brought by a milkman, against Mr.
Howard oftlie Irving IIouso to recover@200 for milk
supplied to the Hotel under contract. It was proved,
however, that the ndik Instead of being irom cows,
grass-fed in summer, and stall-fed in winter, was
from animals fed with swill from a distillery iu the
10th avenue, and nothing else; which was proved to be
pernicious stuff', and injurious to children. The jury
very properly gave a verdict for the defendant. It
Is impossible toimaglnn the stuff’sold for milk in this
city.
The Art Union drawing on Friday night was largely
attended, and of course a great many persons are
disappointed, and abuse tho association and its man
ngement, which by the by is open to censure. There
were 16,310 subscribers; the receipts $83,484 76; the
expense* @69,150 25 of which only $43,120 was ex
pended upon works of art,which $26,029 was laid out
on printing Bulletins, Catalogues, Ac. I supposed
that the object of the Art Union, Was to benefit Ar
tists, but this does not appear to be the case. Great
dissatisfaction has been expressed at the conduct of
tho management, particularly by Artists, ut the fa
voritism shown, and the w- rks of mediocrity, that
are purchased at prices far beyond their value ; and
here is a fling at theso men in the Annual report of
the managers.
“ The only class of artists who can have been at
undepressed or injured by its (the Art Union’s) op,
orations,consists of those who are distinguished only
by conspicuous and bopeies3 mediocrity. These
persons may have been reduced to their proper
position, in the general judgment, by the active com
petition which tile American Art Union has done
something to create. Whether the friends ot art, or
the public at large, have reason tosharo their griefs,
or their hostility to the American Art Union, it is not
necessary for the committee to say."
The -‘American Artists association" will doubtless
notice this as it deserves. Yours Ac C.
With the early spring,
Gladness and joy we bring;
And to the sick one and the weary hearted.
Of happier times wo tell,—
While e'en the beautiful
Beauties fresh Will find from ours imparted.
And loving hearts we seek,
When human words aro weak,
When aided not by us, would be concealed
Doep thoughts of tenderness
(Which words could ne’er express)
That by our mystic language stand revealed.

Severe Gale at the North and East.
A violent storm occurred atNew-Yorkon Monday,
doing considerable damage, both on land and 6ea.
The line ship Hiagara, 37 days from Liverpool, with
250 passengers on board, had come to anchor inside
of Sandy Hook on Monday, and was about getting
under way when the first squall struck her, and Bent
her drifting on the rocks. To save the lives of those
on board and the cargo, the masts were cut away,
when she ceased to drift, and rode the gale out with*
out further damage. The tore-mast, in tailing, struck
the first mate on the head, which threw him from
the maintop-gallant yard, and broke his leg. No oth
er personal injury was done.
A young man had his skull fractured by a shutter
blown from a third story window. Another shutter
was blown against a cart, severely injuring tho driver
and breaking the articles with which the cart was
loaded. The thermometer fell 34 degrees in 24 hours!
At Williamsburgh, the spire of a church was blown
down ; some small houses unroofed, the gas house
injured, and the ferry wharf nearly carried away.
At Brooklyn, nine buildings in Hamilton Avenue,
belonging to Doctor Townsend of Sarsspr rills ce
lebrity were blown down; and a whole block of un
finished houses on Madison Avenue shared the same
fate. A coal barge with a cargo worth $4,000 was
sunk, besides several other small craft.
At Albany the wind blew a perfect gale all Monday
night, snowing all tho time. The Boston Railway
ferry boat was frozen tight in the middle of the river,
and passengers crossed from shore to shore on the
ice. The thermometer stood 4 degrees below zero.
At Boston,anew church,nearly finished,was blown
down, and u brig and a rihonner driven ashore.—
The snow to the North and East had been very great,
and the Rail Road trains had all been retarded iu con-

Death of a Pilot.—We regret to announce tho
death of Mr. Jamks E. Spence, a Branch Pil ot,which
took place in this city on Friday evening last. Mr.
Spence was about 28 years of age, and leaves a wife
and two children to mourn their loss. He was the Pi-
lot of the steamship Florida, and has been laboring
under a disease of the lungs tor some time, and which
has cut him off in the prime of life. The flags of the
shipping in port, were at half mast on Saturday, in
token of respect to the deceased.
Yesterday afternoon he was followed to the grave
by the members of DcICalb Lodge, 1. O. O. F., to
which association he belonged, and by a large num
ber of friends and relations.
P
ael denied the right ot the alleged slave to a writ of
habeas corpus, and Insisted that by the writ, the com
miatloner was bound to issue his certificate to the
owner, If the proof of identity were satisfactory.—
Tho Commissioner, however, thought it better to
obey the writ, and committed the man to the custo
dy of the Marshall; adjourning the case until 12 o'clock
to-morrow. The writ is returnable to the Court at 10
o'clock.
1 visited a very beautiful steam boat yesterday
called the Magnolia, which has been built by Mr.
Thos. Cpllyer of this city, and intended to run be-
tween Savannah and Palatka, Florida, touching at
all the principal places on the route. Mr. M. A. Co
hen, an enterprising merohant of your city, is to act
aa agent, I am told. The boot Is not quite complet
ed yet, a little carpenter's work remains unfinished,
but it is expected that she will get off by Saturday
next She is not very large, but Is a beautiful
model, and fitted up with neatness and elegance. The
ornaments are gold on a white ground, and are very
tasteful. She has eight state rooms on the upper or
promenade deck, and eight in the soloon on the main
deck aft, from which yon descend to the berths, in-
tended for the servants, who will be thus within call,
•'whenever they are wanted. There are accommoda
tions for seventy-five passengers, of whom, about
-fifty will have state rooms. The fitting np has evi
dently been done with a view to the comfort of tho
.passengers, and indeed a more commodious boat for
her size I have never seen. Her length is 140 l'eet,
aid 24 ft, 6 in. weadth of beam, end she has eight feet
depth ot hold.
Her engine and boiler were constructed by the cel-
•ebratedfirm of Rodman A Co., at the city Foundry
in West *t, ind I think you will say that the engine
is a model one, and that it reflcctiulinite credit upon
•thaestabUshmeut. It combines beauty and elegance,
with great strength and durability, and propelled the
boat on her trial trip a few days since, at tho rate of
about20miles an hour! A remarkable degree of
speed when we consider all the circumstances.
The engine has a 32 inch cy lind r and 9 feet stroke
—.there ore two boilers, each 24 feet long, and 5
feet diamrier ; two smoke pipes and one spar. She
hasheen supplied with three life boats of the moat
npprov- a etc-'traction,
Ttnsr,v» n’ and of this beautiful boathas been given

At Montreal the heaviest snow storm that had fal

escaped by cutting away their masts.
At Baltimore the storm was very severe, but no

Fbom Mexico The N. O. Picayune, of 04th inst

The Government has issued an order admitting all
steamers destined for the transportation of passen
gers and correspondence, into Mexicnn ports free of

The order speaks of the great benefit which has ac
crued to tbe Republic from tbe vast increase in the

The State of Oajuca is still disturbed by the rebel
Melendez. He seems to have gathered fresh

In Tampico articles of pri me necessity are so scarce

It was reported in Mexico that Gen. Abista had
formed the programme of his administration, having
selected the following Cabinet officers:
Sr. D. Manuel Robles, Secretary of War and Ma

Sr. D. M. Macedo, Secretary of Justice.
The cholera is ravaging Oajuca, and the small pox
Durango.
Bands of robbers invest various partsof the coun
try. One party of merchants lost $20,000 by them.
An attempt has been made to assassinate General
Abista, and the assassin arrested.
Tbe following pretty compliment is paid to
Jenny Lind by tbe Charleston Mercury, in its no
des of her concert on Friday night. How different
trom the amusing attempts of some theati ical critics,
who seek to establish a claim to a knowledge of a
science they never studied, and of which they have
not the most remote idea, by tbe use of technical
terms, strangely sounding Italian words, in many
instances quite incomprehensible even to the sub-
joctof them. Jenny, if she is the woman we be
lieve her to be, will b« more truly pleased with such
a remark as the following, than with a column of
iauditory cockney criticism:
•‘In the song of “Home Sweet Home.” which
seems to be as great a favorite with her as with the
audience, she poured forth her feelings with a fer
vor and pathoo beyond tho reach of mere art, and,
with her glowing and animated countenance, ra-
dient with smiles, she seemed the impersonation of
all that waa requisite to make Home a paradise.”

thata very large number of Americans will visit the
Old World on tbe occasion of the approaching
