Not with stand iug the dampish condition of the earth (tad air, many a fair pedestrienne be aeen ox our streets in their hunt of the latest novelties In feminine paraphernalia and iuqoeat of Cbriatioas presents for the juvenile*—-of which oar principal stores present an abnndant supply and tempting array. Those who cannot be pleased must be very fastidious indeed. W A few wagons were in from the country with feathered objects for tho sacrificial Christ mas knife; others, with a few bales of the staple, which seemed to afford oar solid men | attraction than aught else on the streets, though the bidding, for it was not Yery spirited—buyers and sellers seeming lo hitch a little on the price. Every one seems to be pleaded with the organ isation of the new police, and the benefit# of the plan will soon be apparent in increased good order on the streets, the abatement of nuiaancea ai d the lessening of crime. The lower portion «r basement room of the City Hall is being fitted np for the accommodation and comfort of the policemen coming off duty. The order for the disbandment of the negro troops on duty here seems te afford much satis faction to all classes. As a general thing, the conduct of these colored soldiers has been respectful and orderly; still, we must confess, that their presence as soldiers was anything but pleasant or agreeable to either Northerners or Southerners. With their mustering out, all will hail the dissipation of a dark cloud from our po litical horison. Quite a flutter hhs been created in niggerdom hereabouts, caused by the movements of the police in gathering up all the stray darkies and bresking up all camps established on the city Reserve. A large crowd of these vagrants were brought before the Mayor yesterday, who gave them thirty-six hours to find employment, and remove their temporary huts. It has come to our knowledge that negroa havo bought firearms from some of oar dealers, snd hare succeeded, also, in furnishing themselves with ammunition. Of course, there is no law to prevent this traffic, but in view of eventualities, this conduct is to be reprehended. We saw yes terday two colored boys in possession of floe, new double-barreled guns which they had thus pu chased. The talk is that tome portions of tho city are moot wretchedly lighted—especially College Hill. If the lamps ore ever lighted, the open condition of the frames causes the flame to be extinguished by the wind. It is even said the lamp in front of the Mayor’s residence has not l>een lighted in three mouths. Can the* unpaid city gss hills have anything to do with this ?— Who knows f It is thought by many that an order closing all places where liquor is retailed, should emanate from mililary headquarters, to continue of forco during the holidays, and that such nn order would materially aid in the suppression of law less n eel during that generally hilarious season. It would he illegal for the Mayor to close them, from the fact of their being licensed by the cityy at least sueh seems to be the opinion of many. It U further thought, and so expressed, that the thirty and odd thousand dollars owing the city would he very acceptable if deposited, soon in the hands of the Treasurer, and would enable that officer to pay off some of tho city employees —many of whom have received no pay in two months. ^ AT Tax New York Stoke, a fine lot of ladies, basques, sacques and circulars of the latest stylos and of superior quality has just been received, and are offerred for sale at very low rates, to suit all classes of purchasers. dccl7-3td.

He was picked upon Monday night by a couple of the police, with a rather suspicious looking bundle, dona up in bis apron, which, upon examination, was found to contain sugar. He stated he had bought it at Copley’s; but this was soon proven to be an un truth, and he was locked up. The emptying of the sugar bowls was proven on him, and the Mayor sweetened him high with a twenty day doeeof bread and water in the police jail* A whole psess of loitering and straggling ne groes, of both sexes, and every conceivable shade of color and size, were up, and warned to leave or get employment. The leader of the darkies was a strapping buck, whom we should dislike meeting after nightfall on a lonely road. He rejoiced in the name of Bill Whale, and seemed to be quite a big fish among his scaly confreres. * One of the policemen, for getting drunk and disorderly, was lockod up, and dismissed by the.

So this, if no other reason, should in duce oar merchants to attend to this very i - port an t matter.
