This being Christina* Day, business l» generally tuspemled | It U a day, however, more particularly observed by the Episcopalian* and Roman Catholic* than by ary other rcHglou* persuasion, and conse quently there la not much even of the appearance of lolemnity. Toy and, fancy atore* are open, nud the juveniles are rejoicing over the play-thiugs so .mys teriously placed in their stocking* by Santa Clau* during the night. 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.

[Correspondence of the Daily Morning Hews ) 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.

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- Receiver of Tnx Return*.

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 to Cap1.1. MoNelty of your city; J. N. Rpdman is tbe clerk, who is much respected here, and remarkable for his eljllky and politeness. J3P - VVe publish a long nnd highly interesting let ter to-day from our attentive New York correspon dent Cuablemac. This letter will be found more than usually attractive, and though a very lrng one will be read attentively, we are sure, byhisnumer ous admirers here. 11 will be seen that lie lias visited and gives us a complete description of the new steamer Magnolia, which is every day expected here by her agents, to take her place on the Florida route’. We had intended to give a particular description of this boat (as is our custom) on her arrival here, but the intention is entirely anticipated by our watchful correspondent, whose full and particular account would make our intended notice a twice told tale. sequence. At Halifax, N. S., the storm had been furious,—no report of the damage done. At Montreal the heaviest snow storm that had fal len for twenty yenrs, fell during Monduy. At Philadelphia, several buildings partially blown dowu, and many narrow escapes with life from the flying mis/ iles. In the Delaware, below the Break, water two schooners went ashore, two sank, and two escaped by cutting away their masts. At Baltimore the storm was very severe, but no damage of any consequence is reported. Steamer Jasper, Freeland, Charleston-to Cohens A Hertz. Steamer Wm Gaston,Clnghorn,Palatka—to Cohens & Hertz.

Picayune, of 04th inst has dates from the City of Mexico to 10th inst., and from Vera Cruz to 15th inst., being 24 days later in telligence. The Government has issued an order admitting all steamers destined for the transportation of passen gers and correspondence, into Mexicnn ports free of duty ; also all sail vessels with coal tor the steamers. The order speaks of the great benefit which has ac crued to tbe Republic from tbe vast increase in the trade with California. The State of Oajuca is still disturbed by the rebel Melendez. He seems to have gathered fresh strength of late, and to have become mere audacious in his operations. In Tampico articles of pri me necessity are so scarce as to be inaccessible to the luboring classes. 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 rine; Sr. D. Jose Ignacio Eeteva, Secretary of tbe Treasury; Sr. Lie. Iglesias. Secretary of Relations; 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.” iX The YVoxld's Fai*."—There is every prospect thata very large number of Americans will visit the Old World on tbe occasion of the approaching YVorld’s Fair in London. The N. Y. Journal of Com merce says, that about one hundred and fifty persons have already engaged a passage in the vessels ot the Collins'line, departing next June. Nearly one-half of the carrying capacity ofth* two steamer! tor that month, is thus engaged.

Baltimobe, Dec. 25, 1850.—Four vessels have ar rived at this port from Rio Janeiro since Friday last, the latest having sailed November 16th.
