Our New York Letter. [FROM OtTB SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] NEW YORK, February 7-Tho long-talked ol aerial bridgo proposed to span Broadway at th( comer of Fulton street, has at last been begun, the foundation having boen laid yesterday. Foul posts of cast iron, each fifteen inches in diameter, and with ornamental bases, will support tho et ruc turo,' and tho bridgo will cross Broadway at righi angles opposite Fulton street; thoro will bo a fiighi of stairs at each corner, fi YO feet wide, and with iroi railings at the sides. The bridgo will be sixtecr feet in height from the curb of tbe street to thc under wall of tho bridgo itself, which will be strong enough to support a weight of one hundred tons When the structure is completod, wo will all ht able to walk over tho stages and other vehicles in ste ad of having them run over us, as thoy now dc Verily a great age, and a groat city, whore it is nc cessary to connect tho opposite sides of a street ty a costly and magnificent structure, such as tim bridge will bo. The Executive Committee of tho Southern Ito lief Commission held a meeting yesterday at tin office of Messrs. Brown Brothers & Co., and report! that tho subscription received so far amount tc seventeen thousand dollars. This, however, ii rather small, when it is taken into consideratioi that A. T. Stewart gave flvo thousand towards it and Brown Brothers themselves a like arnon at The affair, however, is in good bauds, aud there if much probability that a very respectable sum wil bo realized ero long, which wilt bo immediately applied to tbe charitable purpose in view. ' Tho temperance movement is gaining grounc here, though, of course, tbero are hundreds o: thousands who are determined not only always tc look upon the wine when it is rod, but "to drink il too, no matter what be the color of its blushes. A grand onti-imbibing meeting was held last nigh! at Plymouth Church, in Brooklyn (Beecher's) the meeting being opened with a prayer sc lengthy that it is a morsel that the preacher coule get through without taking a drink, at least o water. The prayer bad a good effect no doubt oi the audience, but a Bong which followed soomod tc take botter, for it was given in fine stylo by i rather pretty young lady. Tho burden of the son; was : "I will not marry a man who drinks." A poor newspaper clerk named Hopo, but fo: whom there is no hope, was arrested yostordcy oi a charge of having embezzled, in the lost tw< years, the sum of five hundred dollars from hil employers. Hod the innocent thief boen any th in; but a seedy newspaper man, he would have scei the absurdity of selling his soul so cheaply, auc would at least havo arrived at five thousand in stead of as many hundred. Two hundred and fifty dollars per year is a poor business for a thief. Every now and then ono or another of thc Blacl Crook actors appear in Court. Yesterday one o the male actors was arraigned boforo Justici Dodge on charge of having abandoned his lAwfu wife. The man endeavored to dodge justice, bul Justice Bodge was too wide awake, and as his de? fence was not satisfactory, be bas been held to bai to await trial. . A grand masquerade and fancy dress ball is to bc given at Irving Hall next Wednesday night by thi Theatrical Mechanical Association. This associa tion is composed of men who construct and ar range the scenes in all the theatres of this city. I willbe a lively afluir-a feast of theatrical talk anc a flow of good spirits of ali kinds. An ingenious individual here has invented wha purports to bf a process by which it may be prove? whether or not there be any truth in the doctrim of spiritualism, and actually applied for a patent The ghost-seeker contends that spirits can not bi seen through the medium of common light, bu that tho Ught must bo filtered and refined, anc also confined in a close room, which it is by his in vention. The patent bas been refused, on tin ground, that when tho room is so prepared tba the spirits could bo seen if there, it would not bi possiblo for Uve people to breathe therein, anc that the ghosts, therefore, would bave all the fur to themselves, and, besides, have their mimberi reinforced by the ghosts of those who had desiree to see them. The main feature of this new ghost room invention is that the room is painted witt spirits of turpentine. A very curious case came up in court yesterday in which the prosecutor was a young ladv bearine the romantic name of Philopena, and the de? fendant a wealthy merchant. It appears that thc man of business bad fallen in love with Fh?openi and proposed marriage, but that be bad fallon oui of love again, and then in once more, but this time with another, a younser and a prettier lady whom he forthwith married. Philopena began an action for breach of promise, but compromised the matter by receiving sixty dollars in cash, a six months note for one hundrcc and fifty, and an.agreement to pay her'five dol?an per week for one-year till the wound in ber heart should heal up. Long before the wound healed, however, the base man who had entered her house and stolen ber heart, entered the house again and stole the note and the agreement; wherefore, he bas been philopenaed and brought into court bj ber whom ne once courted. MOULTRIE. FOREIGN ITEMS. EARTHQUAKE IN BELGIUM.-Several shocks of ai earthquake, which lasted some seconds, were fel Kt Spa, in Belgium, towards noon on the 2d o January-the day of the great earthquake in Al geri?. MUTUAL Am SOCIETIES TN FRANCE.-At the enc of 1865 there were in France 5288 mutual aid s ocie ties of various kinds, representing property to tbi amount of about ?1,500,000 sterling. FRESCOES.-The Louvre Museum bas just pur chased six frescoes by Luini from a palace a Milan. They are said to be important both fron their size and artistic merit. VENICE.-The first Italian sermon preached ii Venice was delivered OL Christmas Bay in thc Church of the Holy Apostles. A NEWSPAPER IDEA.-A society, entitled "Thc Newspaper Press Defence Association," is in course of formation in England, its object being to assisi proprietors and editors of newspapers in repulsing unjust attacks incurred by them in the execution of their duties. ASSASSINATION.-The Paris papers give curious statistics of assassination. Tho proportion ol murders is: In England, one in 678,000 souls; Hol? land, one in 163,000;. Prussia, one in 100,000; Aus? tria, one in 77,000. The writers have left France out of the calculation. A NEW NEEDLE-GTW.-An engineer of Trente, France, M. Garollo, bas invented a new needle-gun which fires fifteen shots a minute. The gun is four feet long, weighs seven and a half pounds, and carries a ball five and a half lines in diameter. THE PARIS CLUBS_The director of the Paria police, M. Pietri, has informed the various Parisian clubs that they will be immediately closed if any games of hazard, such as baccarat, lansquenet, Sec., are played at them. ANCIENT SILVER COINS.-A man while ploughing up a headland on Chanton Farm, in Sussox, Eng? land, threw out of the furrow an old crock, or earthenware pot, containing a number of coins chiefly of the time of Edward the Confessor and Hal old. They were all packed in the crock on their edges, as closely as possible, and had evidently re? mained undisturbed since first hidden. A HUGE ANCHOR.-The largest anchor in tho world bas boon completed for the Great Eastern at Wolverhampton, England. Its weight is eight tons, exclusive of the stock; length of the shank, twenty feet s'T inches; length of wood stock, nine? teen feet six inc'?es; tread of arms, seven feet four inches. The author has been proved, and found to stand the strai i of one hundred tons. SEALS.-Advices /rom Flushing state that for some days past .?als have appeared in the inner basins of that placo. Last month one of colossal size was killed. These animals are attracted by the shoals of sardines which are inst now passing through these waters, and these latter are caught m such abundance that they are sold at one pennv the bucketful. ' A WARNING-It has been discovered at the Gen? eral Postofflce in England that many persons in the United States are in the habit of sending over to this country sums of money wrapped in news? papers. In consoquenco of the existence of this practice American papers are now examined at St. Martin'B-le-Grand. It is impossible to examine every paper; but selections are made at London, and frequent seizures are tho result. PAUPERISM IN LONDON AND PARIS.-London pau? perism is nearly five times as great as that of Paris. The authority for this statement is M. de Pontes, a late French prefect, who bas elaborately examined the social condition of England, and has collected from various official documents the sta? tistics of eleemosynary efforts in this metropolis and in that of France. In Paris there is no casual ward, and no need of one. Dr. Joly has lately made a report to the Academy of Medicine, Paris, in which he deprecates the in? creased tendency io the consumption of alcohol by the French nation. A hundred years ago, France consented 300,000 hectolitres, or 4,500,000 gallons of alcohol yearly. 8he row consumes 4,000,000 hectolitres, or 88,000,000 gallons. Dr. Joly de? clares that an increasing tendency towards mental disease has been generated by the increasing con? sumption of spirits; and an. official report lately published seems to corroborate his views-the abuse of alcohol accounting for one-fifth of the in? sanity in Franco. This statement will not sur? prise those who are familiar with the reports of fae hospitals for the insane in that country. FROM WASHINGTON. [Special Correspondence of the Baltimore Gazette.] THE CONGRESSIONAL MUDDLE-THE KEW SESSION or CONGRESS-ITS EMBAIULASSTNO EFFECTS ON TIDE DETAIITMENTB-AN ABSCJJJD DILEMMA-ABOUT THE PRESIDENT s MESSAGE-THE MILITARY SA? TRAP BILL-RAYMOND'S SPEECH-A FLANK MOVE? MENT BX RANKS-EXCITEMENT TN THE ROUSE THE Brxx I'OSTTONEO-A CRISIS CULMINATING. WASHINGTON, February 8.-Tho disastrous effects of tho revolutionary action of Congress, even upon I tho ordinary public business, aro beginning tims j oarly to bo dovoloped. The only law passed at tho iroseia session having as yet any practical boariug .ias already created consternation in tho Depart- | monta. With a view to a pcrpotual'liarrassment of tho Exocutivo, tho Legislativo branch lately altorod tho time of tho commencement of tho session of tho Fortieth Congross-reqniriug it to nsseuiblo on tho .Ith of March. Tho charlatans wore not aware, or wero unmindful of tho fact^thnt by law tho hoads of Departments, particularly that of tho Treasury, whose duty it is to report directly to Congress, aro required t? malro their annual reports "at tho be? ginning of each session." Of course this peremp? tory requirement cannot bo complied with nuder tho" now order of things, as tho Departments will not possess the first inkling of data upon which to predicate their calculations or estimates, none of thc bills upon which they arc to bo based having yet become laws, nor arc" they likely to bo finally acted upon before tho very day n-rccedmg tho com? mencement ol' tho next Congre ,t. When it is con? sidered that tho information contained in those re? ports forms tho basis ol' all useful legislation, the absurdity ol' thc change referred to will become still more patent. Tho intelligent ro :dcr will easi? ly perceive tho confusion which this departure from ? long established practico must neccssar.ly pro? duce With respect lo the conree of tho President tho caso will present less difficulty. Tho Constitution simply imposes upon bim tho'duty of giving Con grcs8"from lime to timo" "information of the state of tho Union, and recommend to their consi? deration such measures as ho sholl judge necessary and expedient." It is not at all legally obligatory upon bim to send Congress a '.message" at tho opening of tho session next March, anil it is to bc hoped that, unless bo bas something par? ticular to say which may possibly bc heeded, ho will pormit thc new body to "peg away" in tboir buugliug revolutionary schemes without any vain attempts to convinco th m that they aro h-^rrying the nation into bloodshed and ruin. Tho pratice of addressing Congress at tho beginning of each session grew out of that pursued by British sovoreigns in opening Parliament bv a spocch from the throne. GcneralWasbington addressed Congress orally, as likewise did tho el dor Adams. Slr. Jefferson so far doviated from tboir example os to substitute tho present mode of communicating by writing, which has muco been called a "mossage." This was dono, confessedly as savoring less of royal preroga? tive and dictation, but ia nevertheless obicctiona blo in tho score of aping royalty-and although it has beon practiced by every President, as in thc case of removals from offico, tho present incum? bent bas had proof enough that such a ploa upon impoaciiracnt would not DO available. So let him ponder upon tho propriety and safety of venturing another address to Congress, especially on this oc? casion, and if it is intended to bo a mero roitora tion of what ho bas often enough said in very ex? cellent English, but which has not boon followed np by equally en vj hatic action. Tho disenssic-j of tho bUl proposing to subject tho Sonthorn States to mi?tary rule was con? tinued this niorniug. The few Domocrolic and Conservativo gon?cuicn who were permitted to speak did remarkably well; but tho oloquoncc of a Henry or o Webster would have been wholly in? adequate to such an occasion. A total silence on tho Constitutional sido of tho Chamber would have been a far moro effective and sub?mo warn? ing against this enormous crimo against public liberty. It is regretted by a decided majority of thc Conservativo niembovs that this course was not pursued, but thc suddenness and stealthi? ness with which tho measuro was sprung upon them precluded concort of action. As things tomi, tho people of the North, it is to bo hoped, will bo made to appreciate that this violent overthrow of the constitutional liberty of a people they now regard as enemies will ultimately recoil on "tboir own heads. In the short space of len years tho South will bo ? in a condition far bettor fitted for tho proposed fundamental chango in tho form of tho Government than tho North. In tho nature of things comparatively few will ever in? habit that region of country of the class to whom forms of government will bo of vital personal con? sequence. Tho North is filled with a population who, when they shall have lost their political rights, will havo'lost their all. The Southern peo? ple mav bo made present sufferers, but will finally profit by tho insano revolution inaugurated by their infuriated advortSfrios. As tho hour approached appointed for taking the vote the interest became intenso to ascertain to what extent thc Radicals had becomo weakoncd by tho refusal of so-callod "moderates*' to take the perilous leap now required, and at this point Mr. Kaymond mado a most effective aud unanswerable s peech against the Bill. As much as this gentle? man has been damaged by his many vacillations it is but sheer justice to say that bo on this occasion did much to make Conservatives charitable to his occasional failings. His speech was unquestiona? bly able and vastly disconcerted tho extremists. At half-past three o'clock Mr. Stevens rose to close debate by demanding the previous question, when Mr. Ranks rcqnosted a postponement of tho vote for a day or two. He announced, amid un parallod excitement, every uxombor rising from his seat, that a measure was now maturing which would receive tho sanction of tho Senate, and pro? bably that of tho Presidont, and ho desired tho suspension of proceedings upon tho present bil! until that could bo brought to the consideration of Congross. Ho accompanied tho announcement by holding out tho throat that if the Presidont should not yield bis assent to tho plan ho alluded to, that thon it would bocome nocossary to deal promptly with another matter, and accomplish the purposes of Congress by other and moro direct moans. This of course referred to the impeach in cut and immediate ejection of thc Executive. Jnst before closing this letter tho House took a vote (Mr. Stevens peremptorily refusing to with? draw bis demand for tho previous question), and the demand was not sustained, by a vote of 98 to 62. The refusal of Stevens to withdraw his mo? tion, coupled with his defeat, is looked upon as a favorable indication of tho character of tho meas? ure alluded to by Slr. Banks. This bas been tho most exciting day in the House I over witnessed. Matters are evidently culminating. It would bj folly to predict results. Great ones arc in the immediate future. X. An Unnoticed Revolution. The London Telegraph says that tho Isle of Man, which is only thirty miles long and nine wide, and contains about fifty thousand inhabitants, hos just been the scene of a revolution quite as re? markable for its effective character as for the bloodless and quiet manner in which it has been brought about. The government of the island ia vested in two bodies. The upper house is called the Council, and consists cf the two Deemsters, or judges, the Clerk of the Rolls, the Attorney-General, the Vicar-Genoral, tho Water Bailiff, and the Bishop and Archdeacon of the Diocese. This Council is presided over by the Lioutenant-Governor of the island. The lower honso is quaintly designated the House of Keys. This body is so ancient that it is now impossible to assign a dato to its origin. It consists of twenty-four members and a speaker. Its most curious feature is thc fact that it has been, until the last year, a closo corporation, fill? ing all vacancies by a vota of tho House. This anomalous government, existing under the British crown, and within six hour's sail of Liverpool, had of late years bocome very distasteful to tba island? ers, and repeated efforts had been made by local reformers to bring about a reform. These, how? ever, were unavailing, and the Manxmen owo their present enjoyment of the franchise to on ill advised act of the House of Keys itself. That august body took offonco at some criticisms in a local newspaper, and sentenced tho unfortunate journalist, without any trial, to six months' im grisonment in the old Danish fort, known as astle Rusben. This matter was taken up by tho English press, and the journalist was released, after something more than a month's imprison? ment, by a writ of Jiaoeas corpus from tho Queen's Bonch. The Lientenant-Govcrnor, who had long desired to bring about a reform, promptly availed himself of this opportunity. Ho introduced, nomo months ago, into tho maular legislature a bill the object of which was to effect a complete change in the constitution of the house by importing tho elective franchise into the island. The Keys and their few friends stood aghast at this sweeping measure; but, notwithstanding their determined opposition, the bill has passed through its various stages, and has now becom< the law of the island, having been formally promulgated. This promulgation must be a curious ceremony. AU the constituted au? thorities assemble for divine service in the Church of St. John tho Baptist, in the centre of the island, and at the termination of tho servico they form into procession, and march to a very ancient arti? ficial mound called Tynwaldhill, said to have been constructed hundreds of years ago by the Scandi? navians. From tho top of this mound the act is read in the English and Manx languages, and then it becomes a law. SKETCH OP THE NESTOR OF AMERICAN POLITI? CIANS.-"Mac," the racy Washington correspon? dent of tho Cincinnati Commercial, writes : Probably there is no more activo political worker behind the scenes in Washington this winter than "Old Blair,' os the father of Frank and Montgom? ery, the head and brains of the Blair family, is called. The old man may frequently bo seen, even in these cold January days, trudging it afoot np or down the avenue, going to or returning from the White House, as tho supposition always is when he is seen on tho streets. He looks old-it would bo strange if he didn't, at upwards of seventy-but is far from being feeble in body or mind either. In fact, I saw him skirting along the avenue yesterday, slipping and sliding on the icy pavoments, but still making such headway as might have puzzled some of his grandchildren to beat. Ho wore that low-crowned, broad-brimmed hat, without which his little round head has not appeared in public for many a year-not the same hat, but the same style, I mean. Ho was hogging very tightly a light capo over his shoulders, and seemed to fool tho effects of tho keen, frosty air, that cut Uko a razor against younger chins than his, but he throw out those short, thin legs of his with a nimbleness nothing less than remarkable in one so ad van oed in life. He neither looks nor acts older now than he did ton, fifteen, some fay twonty years Ago. Ho began to wither or shrivel up longer ago than that, and the procoss has been going on slowly and scarcely discornodly since. Other men have grown erov and decrepld. "Old Blair" seems tobo an excep? tion to the common course of nature Ho wfll simplv "wither np" slowly, and pass away some day-distant by many years yet, apparently-not because he wiU bo dead, like other people, but be? cause he will bo completely shriveled out of exist? ence. . A wonderful man ii "Old Blair"-perhaps the most entertaining poUtieal talker to be found in the country at the present time-not that his principles aro better than other men's, or that he hos a more pointed way of putting them, but he can caU np a greater number of interesting and important reminiscences in the political history of the country, anywhere since the war of 1812, than any living man. He has been for more than fifty years a prompter behind the political scenes, and Knows more or vra-t occ"irroi c??inr.?* wu.e than any who took active part on the stage. And to hoar bim talk in company, yon would not think him an old man until ho acknowledges the fact himself, by spcakiiiK of the ovonts of fifty years ago as occurring when be iras a young man. His memory of such ovents is wonderful, and his mon? mir of relating thom is alwayo eic-BO?ingly vivid and interesting. Ho will work himself np to tho highest pitch of enthusiasm som?tanos in describ? ing one of tho old quaixolB between Clay and Cal? houn, and tho strong poreotial interest ho took in thc Democratic side of tho controversy.

Boston Boot and Shoe Market There is a fair demand for floods with a portion of thc boot and shoe trade, and some considerable more move movement is noticeable than daring tho first three weeta in January. Tho demand ls not so active as lt was last year at this time, or brisk enough so that anything in thc shape of boots and shoes put up in cases wUl be accepted yet for first-class work of known and reliable mannisc ture there is a fair request from the Southwestern and Eastern markets. The buyers in market do not seem in haste to com' plete their assortments, as they find the supply on the market ample for the spring trade, r.nd the quality ol goods are more carefully considered than when tho stock ls short or prices advancing. We learn from several sources that manufacturers aro working slowly, and are not disposed to crowd the market with unsaleable goods, which ls the best remedy to apply to a sluggish demand, especially now that boots and shoes can bs produced SQ rapidly. With the home trade business is very duU and manufacturers are merely seeping their workmen em? ployed because of the difficulty of securing competent ones when wanted for the trade season. Ibo shipments of boots and shoes for the month oi January have been 37.288 cases; last year they were 51, 993 cases, showing a decrease of 14,755 cases. Some al? lowances must be made, however, on account of the in? terruption of freight lines during the last two week* by unusually severe weather and heavy nul of snow. The clearances for the week by sea and rall have Been 10,031 cases, among which we nolie? 2000 for San Francisco. Total shipments by rail 8342 cases. Total shipments of boots and shoes by rail and set for the week 10,121 casas.
