WASHINGTON, December 31_Di tho elaborate opinion of Mr. Justice Davis against the constitu? tionality of the trial of citizens by Military Courts the following paragraphs appear: It con never be in a country of written constitutions, with a judi? cial department to interpret them, that any Chief Magistrate would be so far forgetful of his duty as to ordor the execution of a man who had do? med the jurisdiction that tried and convicted him. Tho case afterwards had been brought before Federal Judges, with power to decide it, who being unable to agree in the grave question it in? volved, had, according to known law, sont it to tho Supreme Court of the United States for deci? sion. But evon the suggestion is injurious to the Executive, and we dismiss it from further consideration. There is therefore nothing to hinder this Court from an investigation of the merits of this controversy. The control? ling question in the case is Ulis: Upon the facts s ti ted in Mulligan's petition and exhibits filed, had the Military Commission mentioned in the exhibits jurisdiction to sentence Mulligan, ho not being a resident of the rebellious States or a prisoner of war-a resident of Badiana for twenty years psst, and uever in the military or naval ser? vice-ia, while at his homo, arrested by the milita? ry power bf the United States, imprisoned, and,' oh cort lin criminal charges bronght against him, tried, convicted and sentenced to be hanged, bv a Military Commission organized under tho direction of the commander of the Military District of In? diana. Had this tribunal the legal power and authority to try and punish this man ? ~ ?o graver question was ever considered by this Court, nor one which more' nearly concerns the rights of the wholo people^ for it is the birthright of every American citizen, when charged with crime, to bo tried and punished according to law. The power of-punishment is alone through the means which the laws have provided for that purpose, and if they aro ineffectual, there is an immunity from punishment, no matter how grave an offender the. individual may be, or how much his crimes may have shocked the sense of justice of the country or endangered its safety. - New "Torie Hew?. !

Mr. Bigelow argued that what was'srude in French is very polite in English; to which the French Minister ' replied that it was useless' to discuss such a paper from a Govern in-t that did not regard its own stipulations of neutrality,, and instanced the occupation of Mata moras. . Bigelow then telegraphed to Seward, and, getting a reply denying the occupation of Mata moras, the cable dispatch was received condition? ally, but afterwards was returned to Mr. Bigelow, on tho confirmation of the occupation. WASHINGTON, December 30.-Signor Romero, representing the Juarez Government here, is of opinion that, owing to the violations of understood stipulations on the part of the' United States and France, -both will act according to their pleasure in Mexican affaire.

Unite in social gloe: evon stranger dogs. Meeting with bristling back, soon lay aside Their snarling aspect, and In sportive chase, JExcursive scour, or wallow In tho snow." Tlie old English poet hore givos in a few linos a very lively picture of the Now Year's holiday, as observed in the olden time. There always has been moro or less festivity connected with the celebration of tho New Year, both with Jew and Christian, Fagan and Mahommedan. The transi? tion from tho old year to tho new is naturally suggestive of feelings both of sorrow and of joy. All feol tho solemnity of the occasion; sorrow and regret at the departing year, joy and welcome to the now, that carries in ita bosom so much of hope and happiness. Of all periods this is tho most usual, as it is tho moat fitting, for looking inward, for self-examination, for forming resolutions to do botter, for turning- over a new leaf, for taking a frcBh start, etc. An old writer has tho following apropos remarks : Every first of January that wo arrive at is an im? aginary milestone on tho turnpike track of human ! lite; at once a resting place for thought and medi? tation, and a starting point for fresh exertion in the performance of our journey. Tho man who does not at least propose to himself to bo bettor this year than he was last, must be either very g" od or very bad indeed 1 And only to propose to be better, is something ; if nothing else, iv is an acknowledgment of our need to be so, which is the first step toward amendment. 1 But, in fact, to pro? pose to oneself to do well, is in some sort to do well, positively; for .there is no' such thing os a stationary point in human endeavors ; ho who is not worse to-day than he was yesterday, is better; and he who is not better, is worse.. Merry-makings on New Year's Eve and New ?ear's Day are of very ancient date in England, noir proximity to Christmas doubtless gives them somewhat of a. .Yule coloring. The head of the house assembled his family around a bowl of ] spiced ale, usually called 'lamb's wool," from which he drank their healths, then passed it to the rest that they might drink too, saying Wass had ! (to your health). Hence this came to be recog? nized as tho Wassail bowL The poorer class of I people carried a bowl adorned with ribbon a round j the neighborhood, begging for something where? with to obtain the moans of filling it, ;hat they might enjoy wassail as well as the rich. In their compota tiona they had Bongs suitable to the occa? sion ; doggerel many of them, but brimful of rus? tic innocence and good fellowship. In Scotland the wassail bowl was held in sacred reverence up to a vory recent period. On the ap? proach of twelve o'clockj a hot pint was prepared- j that is a kettle or flagon of warm, spiced, and ! sweetened ale, with an infusion of spirits. Whon the clock had struck tho knell of tho departed year, each member of the family drank of this mixture 'A good health and a happy New Year, and | many of them' to all the rest, with a general hand? shaking, and perhaps a dance round the table, with the addition of a song to the tune of Hey I Ivllie take : $| Woel may we a" be, ni may we never see, Here's to the king And the gudo companicl tee. The elders of the family would then most probably sally out with the hot kettle, and bearing also a competent provision of buns and short-brood, or bread and' cheese, with tho design of visiting their neighbors, and interchanging with them tho same cordial greetings. If they met by the way an? other party similarly bent, whom they knew, they would stop and give and tako sips from their res poctive kettles. Beaching the friend's house, they would enter with vociferous good wishes, and soon send the kettle a circulating. If they were tho first tb enter the houso since twelve o'clock,- they wore deemed aa the first foot; and, as such, it was most important, for luck to the family in the com? ing year, that they should moke thoir eutry, not empty-handed,- but with their hands full of oakes and bread and cheese, of which, on the other hand, civility demanded that each individual in the house should partake. In Holland, the New Year is made much more of | than either in England or in other parts or the Continent, and the Gotham!tes, to this doy, faith? fully observe this cheerful institution, handed down to thom from their Knickerbocker ancestors. The giving of gifts, presents to friends, and sub? stantial assistance to the indigent, is au old and time-honored custom. Whon pins were first in? vented and brought into use about the beginning of tho sixteenth eentury, they were a New Year's gift very acceptable to ladies, and money given for the purchase of them was called "pui-monoy," an expression which hos been extended to a sum of J money secured by a husband on his marriage for the private expenses of his wife. Pins made of metal, in thoir presoct form, must have been in use some time previous .to 1543, in which year a statute was passed (35 Hen. VIII, c. 6), entitled "An Acta for the true making of Pynnos," in which it was enacted that the price charged should not exceed 6s. Sd. a thousand. Pins were previously made of boxwood, bone, and silver, for the richer classes; those used by the poor were of com? mon wood-in fact, skewers. The custom of giving of presents among rela? tives and friends has much declined in England, but is still kept up with surprising vigor in Paris, where the day is especially recognized from this circumstance as Le Jour a?Etrennes. Parents then bestow portions on their children, brothers on their sisters, and husbands make settlements on their wives. The mere externals of the day, as observed in Paris, are of a striking character; they were described as follows in on English journal, as observed in the year 1824, while as yet the restored Bourbon reigned in France : "Carriages," says this writer, "may be seen rolling through the 1 streets with cargoes of bon-bons, souvenirs, and [ the variety of etceteras with-which - little children and grown up children are bribed into good humor; and here and there pastrycooks aro to be met with, carrying upon boards enormous temples, pagodas, churches, and playhouses, made of fine flour and sugar, and the embellishments which render French pastry so inviting. But there is one street in Paris to which a New Year's Day isa whole year's fortune-this is tho Bno des lombards, where tho wholesale confectioners reside; for in Paris every trade and profession has its peculiar quarter. For several days preceding the 1st of January, the street is completely blocked up by tho carts and wagons laden wita eases of sweet? meats for the provinces. These ore of every form and description which the' most singular fancy could imagine; honchos of carrots, green peas, .boots and shoes, lobsters and ' crabs, bats, books, musical instruments, gridirons, frying-pans, and sauce-pans; all made of sugar, and colored to im i tate reality, and all made with a hollow within to - I hold the bon-bons. The 'most prevailing device Is - what is callad e.'cornel; that is, a little cone oma- j mon'ed in different ways, with a bag to draw over J the large end, and close it up. In these things,. the prices of which vary from one frone (20 cents) to fifty, the bon-bons are presented by those who choose to be at~the expense of them, and-by those who do not, they aro .only wrapped ina pioce of paper; but bon-bons, in someway or other must be presented. . It would not, perhaps, be an ? exag? geration to state that tho amount expended for presents on New Year's Day in Paris, for sweet moats alone, exceeds 500,000 franca, or ?20,000 sterling. Jewelry is also sold' to a very large I amount, and the fancy articles exported in the first ' week of the year to England and other countries, is computed at one-fourth of the salo during the twelvemonths. In Paris it is by no means unwm- ! .mon for a man of '8000 or 10X00 francs a yea.:, to make presents on New Year's Day which cost' bim a fifteenth part of his income. No personable to .give muston this day pay a visit empty-handed; Everybody accepts, ona every man gives according ' to the means which he possesses: Females alono ' are excepted from the charge of giving. . A pretty ' woman, respectably connected,may reckon her New Year's presents at something considerable: Gowns, jewelry, gloves, stockings, and artificial flojera nil her-drawing-room; for in Paris it is a -custom to display all tho gifts, in order to excite emulation, and to Obtain as much as possible. - At the palace, the New Year's Day is a complete jour -d? jete. Every branch of the royal family is then expected to moke handsome presents to the king. For tho six months preceding January, .1824, tho female branches were busily occupied in preparing presents of their own, manufacture, which would fill at least two common-sized wagons. The Duch? ess de Berri painted an entire room of Japanned panels, to be sat up in the palace, and the Duchess of Orleans prepared on elegant screen. An Eng Uah gentleman, who was admitted suddenly iat< the presence of tho Duchess do Berri-two months before, found her and three of her maids of honor ' lg on the carpet, painting tho legs of a set of HTS, which wera intended for tho king. The day commences with tho Parisians, at an early hour, by the interchange of their visits and bon bona. The nearest relations are visited first, until the furthest in blood have had their calls; then friends and acquaintances. The conflict to antici? pate each other's, calla, oocasions the most agree? able and whimsied scenes among these proficients in polite attentions. In these visita, and in gos sipping at the confectioners'''shops, Which are. the great lounge for the occasion, the morning of New Yoar'e Dav te passed; a dinner is given by some member of the family to all the rest, and tho evon ing ocTjomdes, like Christmas Day, with cards, dancing, or any other amusement that may bo preferred," SPECIAL NOTICES. . ?3-ANY INFORMATION OF COOPER JEN?

TN ADDRESSING HIS NEW YEAR CIRCULAR TO THE pubUc, the Proprietor of the almost world-renowned "HAT HALL." No. 313 King street, between Liberty and Wentworth streets, cannot permit tho occasion to pass without expressing his heartfelt thanks to his very numer? ous patrons for the very liberal manner in which they have shown their appreciation of the great reduction in the prices of Hats since tho opening of tho "Hat Hall" in 1849. . ' . ' --j* '-. ! The post and tho future, with curtains hung, separates from our view that which we once saw, and that which is to bo seen. But memory, grateful memory, brings to thc mind of thc Proprietor of tho "Hat Hall" tho past It is truly a privilege, allowed us by Him who watches over us, to recall to view in tho mind acta of kindness received from fcllow-man In this strain of thought, STEELE returns his thanks to tho public In general for the unbounded Bupport which he has received during the last year ; and to those who may yet not know of the location of., the "HAT HALL," we would say it is at No. 313 KINO STREET, sign of the "BIG HAT." 'Tis true the "Hat Hall" hos rules which govern its dealings. It solicits only cash trade, but proves that the prices axe lower for HATS and CAPS sold there than the same goods can be procured for elsewhere. In con elusion. STEELE would dedicate tho following lines to tho public : Of all the thousands that have bought STEELE'S Hats and Caps, BO finely wrought, Some, although "few and far between," Perchance have disappointed been. If so, albeit he hos not heard That disappointment has occurred, Ho stands prepared (if proof there bo) The oversight to remedy. For 'tis his rule, repeated o'er. To every salesman in his store.
