[FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] NEW YOBK, February 7.--The long-talked of aerial bridge proposed to span Broadway at the corner of Fulton street, has at last been begun, the foundation having boon laid yesterday.. Four posts of cast iron, each fifteen niches in diameter, and with ornamental bases, will support the struc? ture, and tho bridge will cross Broadway at right angles opposite Fulton street; there w?l be a flight of stairs at each corner, five feet wide, and with bron railings at the sides. Tho bridge will be sixteen feet in height from the curb of the street to the under wall of the bridge itself, which will be strong enough to support a weight of one hundred tons. When the structure ?B completed, we will all be able to walk over the stages and other vehicles ba? ste ad of having them run over us, as they now do Verily a great age, and a great city, where it is ne? cessary, to connect the opposite sides of a street by a costly and magnificent structure, such as this "bridge will be., The Executive Committee of the Southern Be? lief Commission held a meeting yesterday at thc office of Messrs. Brown Brothers & Co., and reports that tide subscription receive deo far amount to seventeen thousand dollars. This, however, is rather small, when it is taken hito consideration "that A. T. Stewart gave five thousand towards it, and. Brown Brothers themselves a liko amount. - The afiair, however, is hi good hands, and there is much probability that a very respectable sum will he realized ere long, which will be immediately applied to the charitable purpose hi view. The temperance movement ?B gaming ground here, though, pf course, there are hundreds of thousands who are determined noe only always to look upon the. wine when it is red, but to drink it too, no matter what be the color of its blushes. A grand auti-imbibing meeting was held last night at Plymouth Church, in Brooklyn (Beechor's), the meeting being opened with a prayer so lengthy that it is a marvel that the preacher could get through without taking a drink, at least of - water. The prayer had a good effect no doubt on .the audience, but a song which followed seemed to 'take-hetter, for,-it. was given in fine style by a rather pretty young lady. The burden of the song was ':. ''I will not marry a man who drinks." A poor newspaper clerk named Hope, but for . whom'thero is no hope, was arrested yesterday on. "acharge of having embezzled, in the last two years, tho. sum e/ Uve. hundred dollars from his employers. Had the innocent thief been anything. but"a seedy newspaper man, he would have seen the absurdity of selling his soul so cheaply, and would ti least have 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 one or another of the Black Crook actors appear in Court. -Yesterday one of: the male ; actors was arraigned before Justice Dodge on charge of having abandoned his lawful .wife.. Tho man endeavored to dodge justice, but Justice-Dodge was too wide awake, and as his de? fence was not satisfactory, he has been held to bail to await trial. ? A grand masqherade and fancy dress ball is to be . given at Irving Hall next Wednesday hight by the i Theatrical Mechanical Association. This associa? tion'^ composed of men who construct and ar? range the scenes in all the theatres of this city. It 'wilfbe a lively afiair-a feast of theatric al tobe and a flow of good spirits of all kinds. An ingenious individual here has invented what purports tobe a process bywhichit maybe proven whether or not there be any truth in tho doctrine of spiritualism, and aotnally ap plied for a patent. The ghost-seeker contends that spirits can not be seen through tho medium of common fight, hut that; the ught must be filtered and refined, and also confihbd in a close room,which it is by his in? vention; The patent has peen refused^ on the ground, that when the room ia so prepared that the spirits could be seen if .there,'it would not be possi bio -for five people to breathe therein j and that the ghosts, therefore, would have all the., fun to themselves, and, besides, have their numbera reinforced by the ghosts of those who had desired to seo them. The main feature of this new ghost room, invention is' that .the room is painted with spirits of turpentine. . -A fery curious 'case came up in court yesterday, in which the prosecutor was a young lady boaring the romantic name of Philopena, ana tho de? fendant a wcalihv merohant. It appears that the man of business had fallon in love with Ph?opena and proposed marriage, but that ho had fallen ont of love again, ' and then in once moro, but this tune with another, a younger and a prettier lady, whom he forthwith married. . Ph?opena -began an action for breach of promise, but-compromised the matter by receiving sixty .dollars in cash, a six months note for one hundred and fifty, and an agreement to pay her five dollars per-*eek for one-year thT the.wound in her heart sh. cl heal up. Long before the, wound healed, however, the base man who had entered her house and stolen her heart, entered the house again and stole the note and the agreement; wherefore; he has been philopenaed and brought into court by her whom he once courted.

VENICE.-The first Italian sermon preached hi Venice was -delivered on Christmas Day in tho Church of the Holy Apostles. A NEWBPAPER^?DEA.-A sooiety, entitled "The Newspaper PressDefence Association," isin course of formation in England, its object being to assist proprietors and editors cf newspapers in repulsing unjust attacks incurred by thom in'thc execution of their duties. ASSASSINATION.-The Paris papers give curious, statistics of assassination. The proportion of murders is; In England, one in 678,000 souls; Hol? land, one in 168,000; Prussia, one in 100,000; Aus? tria, one in 77,000. The writers have loft Franco . out cf the calculation. A NEW NEEDLE-GUN.-An engineer of Trente, France, M. GaroUo, has invented a new needie-gun which fires fifteen 'shots-a-,minute..' Th? gneis four feet long, weighs seven and a half pounds, and carries a ball five and a half fines in di -.meter. THE PAMS CLUBS.-The director of the Paris polios, M.

ANCIENT SILVER COINS.-A man wh?o ploughing np a headland on. Chanten Farm, in Sussex, Eng? land," threw out bf the furrow an old crock, or earthenware pot, containing a number of coins chiefly of the time of Edward the Ccnfessor and Harold. 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 thc world has been completed for the Great Eastern at-Wolverhampton, England.

In consequence of tho existeuce of thi? practice American papers are now examined at St. Martin's-le-Grand. It is impossible to examine' every paper; but selections arc made at London and frequent seizures are the result. PAUPERISM IN LONDON AND PARIS.-London pau? perism is nearly five times as great as that of Paris. The authority for thi? statement is M. dc Pontes, a late Frenen prefect, who bas elaborated examined tho social condition of England, and has collected from various official documents the sta? tistics of eleemosynary efforts in this metropolis and in that of Franco. 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 to the consumption of alcohol by the French nation. A hundred years ago, Franco cons med 200,000 hectolitres, or 4,500,000 gallons of alcohol yearly. Sho now 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 ^^ws^the ibu?e of alcohol accounting for one-fifth of the in? soria in France. ?This statement w?l not sur Sf??e familiar with the reports of {he hospitals for'the insane in that country. j FROM WASHINGTON. [Special Correspondence of the Baltimore Gazette.] ?mz CONGRESSIONAL MUDDLE-THE NEW SESSION OP CONGRESS-ITS EMBARRASSING EFFECTS ON THE DEPARTEMENTS-AN ABSURD DILEMMA-ABOUT THE PRESIDENT'S SIESSAGE-THE MILITARY SA? TRAP BILL-RAYMOND'S SPEECH-A FLANK MOVE? MENT BY BANKS-EXCITEMENT IN THE HOUSE THE BILL POSTTONED-A CRISIS CULMLNATDTG. WASHINGTON, February S.-Hie disastrous effects of tho revolutionary action of Congress, even upon tho ordinary public business, aro beginning thus carly to bo dovoloped. Thc only law passed at tho Eresent session having as yet any practical bearing as already croatcd consternation in thc Depart? ments. With a view to a perpetual lmrrassmcnt of the Executive, tho Legislative branch lately altered the timo of tho commencement of the session of thc Fortieth Congress-requiring it to assemble on thc 4th of March. Tho charlatans were not awaro, or wore unmindful of tho fact, that by law tho hoads of Departments, particularly that of tho Treasury, whose duty it is to report directly to Congress, are required to make thou* anfhial reports "at the be? ginning of each session." Ol* course thia per emp? tor}- requirement cannot be complied with nndor tho now order of tilings, as tho Departments will not possess tho first inkling of data upon which to predicate thoir calculations or estimates, none of tho bills upon which they are to be based having yet become laws, nor aro they likely to be finally acted upon beforo the very day prccoding the com? mencement of tho next Congress. "When it is con? sidered that the information contained in those re? ports forms tho basis of all useful legislation, tho absurdity of tho chango referred to will become still more patent. Tho intel1 ^nt reider will easi? ly perceive the confusion whit., this departure from a log established practice must necessarily pro? duce. "With respect to the course of the President tho case will present less difficulty. The ConstituHon simply imposes upon him the duty of giving Con? gress "fron time to time" "information of tho stato of tho Union, and recommend to theil' consi? deration such measures aa ho shall judge necessary and expedient." It is not at all legally obligatory upon him to send Congress a ''message" at the opening of tho session next March, and it is to be hoped that, unless ho has something par? ticular to say which may possibly be heeded, ho will permit tho new body to "peg away" ni their bimgling revolutionary schemes without any vain attempts to convince th?m that they aro hurrying the nation into bloodshed and ruin. The prataco of addressing Congress ab tho beginning of each session grew out of that pursued by British sovereigns in opening Parliament by a speech from tho throne General Washington addressed Congress orally, as likewise did the el? der Adams. Mr. Jefferson so far deviated from their example as to substitute tho present mode of communicating by writing, ? which has since-boen called a "message." This was done, confessedly as savoring less of royal preroga? tive and dictation, butis nevertheless objectiona? ble in the scoro of aping royalty-and although it has been practiced by every President, as in tho case of removals from office, the present incum? bent has had proof enough that such a plea upon impeachment would not DO available 80 let lum ponder upon tho propriety and safety of venturing another address to Congress, especially on this oc? casion, and if it is intended to be a mere - reitera? tion of whas he has often enough said in very ex? cellent English, but which has not boen followed np by equallv emphatic action. Tho discussion of tho bill proposing to subject the Southern States to military rulo was con? tinued this morning. The few Democratic and Conservative gentlemen who wero permitted to speak did remarkably well; but the eloquence of a Henry or a Webster would havo been wholly in? adequate to such an occasion. A total siienco on inc Constitutional side of tho Chamber would have boon a far moro effectivo and sublime warn? ing against this enormous crirno against public liberty. It is regretted by a decided majority of tho Conservative members that this course was not pursued, but tho suddenness and stealthi? ness with which tho measure was sprung upon them precluded concert of action. As things tend, tho people of the North, it is to bo hoped, will bo mt,de to appreciate that this violent overthrow of tho constitutional liberty of a people they now regard as enemies will ultimately recoil on their own heads. In tho short space of ten years the South will bc ,in a condition far better fitted for the proposed fundamental chango in the form of the Government than tho North. In tho nature of tilings comparatively few Trill over in? habit that region of country of tho class to whom forms of government will be of vital personal con? sequence. The North is filled with a population who, when they sholl havo lost their political rights, will have lost their all. The Southern pco 1 plo may be made present sufferers, but will finally profit by the insane revolution inaugurated by their inf uriated adversaries. As th o hour approached appointed for taking the vote the interest became mtense to ascertain to what oxtont the Radicals had become weakened by the refusal of so-called "moderates" to tako tho perilous lean r.ow required, and at this point Mr. Kurmond miado a most effective and unanswerable speech against the Bill. As much os this gentle? man has been damaged by his many vacillations it is but sheer justico to say that ho on this occasion did much to make Conservatives charitable to his occasional failings. ' His speech was unquestiona? bly able and vastly disconcerted the extremists. At half-past three o'clock Mr. Stevens rose to close debate by domanding tho previous question, when Mr. Banks requested a postponement of tho voto for a day or two. He announcod, amid un I paralled excitement, every member rising from his i seat, that a measure was now maturing whioh would receivo tho sanction of tho Senate, and pro I bably that of the President, and ho desired tho suspension of proceedincrs upon tho present' bill until that could be brought to tho consideration of ! Congress. Ho accompanied the annoimcomcnt by holding out tho throat that if tho President should not yield his assent to tho plan he alluded I to, that then it would become necessary to doal promptly with another matter, and accomplish tho purposes of Congress by other and moro direct means. This of conrso referred to the impeach? ment and immediate ejection of the Executive. Just beforo closing this letter tho House look a, vote (Mr. Stevens peremptorily refusing to with? draw his demand for tho previous question), and the demand was not sustained, by : voto of 9S to 62. The refusal of Stovohs to withdraw' his mo? tion, coupled with his defeat, is looked upon as a favorable indication of tho character of tue meas? ure alluded to by Mr. Banks. This has been tho most exciting day in the Houso I ever witnessed. Matters aro evidently culminating. It would bi folly to predict results. Great ones aro in the imm?diate futuro. X. An Unnoticed Revolution. Tho London *T(legraph says that tho lelo of Man, which is only thirty miles long and nino wide, and contains about fifty thousand inhabitants, lits juBt been the sceno of a revolution quito as re? markable for its effective character as for the bloodless and quiet manner in which it has boen brought about. The government of the island is vested in two bodies. The upper house is called the Council, and consists cr the two Deemsters, or judges, the Clerk cf tho Bolls, tho Attorn?j'-G?meral, the Vicar-General, the Water Bailiff, and the Bishop and Archdeacon of tho Diocese. This Council is presided over by tho Lioutenant-Govemor of the island. Tho lower house is quaintly designated the House of Keys. This body is so ancient that i it is now impossible to assign a dato to its origin. It consists of twenty-four members and a ?speaker. Its most-enrions feature is the fact that it has been, until the last year, a elose. corporation, fill? ing all vacancies by a vote of tho House. This anomalous government, existing under tho British crown, and within six hour's sad of Liverpool, had of late years become very distasteful tc th?> island? ers, and repeated efforts had beon made by local reformers to bring about a reform. These, how? ever, wero unavailing, and the Manxmen owe their present enjoyment of the franchise to an ill advised act of the Honso of Keys itself. That august body took offence at somo criticisms in a local newspaper, and sentenced tho -unfortunate journalist, without any trial, to six months' im Srisonment in .the old Danish fort, known as astle Rusken. This matter was taken up by tho English press, and thc journalist was released, after something moro than a month's imprison? ment, by a writ of habeas corpus from thc Queen's Bench. The Lientenant-Governor, who had long desired to bring about areform, promptly availed himself of this opportunity. Ho introduced, some months ago, into tho insular legislature a bill tho object ot which was to effect a complete change in tho constitution of the house by importing the electivo | franchise into the island. Tho 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 boconio tho law of the island, having been formally promulgated. This promulgation must be a curious ceremony. All thc constituted au? thorities assemble for divino s?nico in the Church of St. John tho Baptist, in thc centro of the island, and at the termination of tlip service they form into procession, and march to a very ancient arti? ficial mound coiled Tynwaldhill, said to have boon constructed hundreds of years ago by the Scandi? navians. From the top or this mound tho act is read hi tho English and Manx languages, and then it becomes a law. SEETCH OF THE NESTOR OF AMERICAN POLITI? CIANS.-"Mac," the racy Washington correspon? dent of tho Cincinnati Commercial, writes : Probably there io no moro activo political worker behind the scones in Washington this winter than "Old Blair,' as the father of Frank and Montgoin 3ry, the head und brains of tho Blair family, is sallod. Tho old man may frequently bc seen, even in these cold January days, trudging it afoot up ar down the avenue, going to or returning from the White House, as tho supposition always is ivhen he is seen on tho streets. He looks old-it ?vould bb strange if he didn't, at upwards of seventy-but is far from being feeble m body or nind cither. lu fact, I saw lum skirting along ;hc avenue yesterday, slipping and sliding on the cy pavements, but still making such '. ;adway as night have puzzled sonic of I113 gram'; children to joat.

His memory of such events ia wonderful, and his man? ner of relating them is always exceedingly vivid and interesting. Ho will work himself up to tho highest pitch of enthusiasm sometimes in describ? ing ono of the- old quarrels between Clay and Cal? houn, and the strong personal interest ho took in tho Democratic side of the controversy.

Boston Boot and S hoc Market There is a fair demand for goods with a portion of the boot and shoo trade, and some considerable more movc movcinout is noticeable than during tho first titree weeks in January. Tho demand is not so activo as it was last year at this time, or brisk enough so that anything in the shape of boots and shoes put up iu cases will be accepted, yet for first-class work of known and reliable manulac luro there is a fair request from the Southwestern and Eastern markets. Tho buyers in market do not seem in haste to com* plcto their assortmcu ts, us they find the supply on the market ampio for the spring trade, and tho quality of goods arc more carefully considered thau when the stock is short or prices advancing. Wre leam from several sources that manufactur?is aro working slowly, and are not disposed to crowd thc market with un sal cable goods, which is tho beat remedy to apply to a sluggish demand, especially now that boots and shoes can be produced so rapidly. With thc home trade business is very duH and manufacturers aro morely keeping their workmen em? ployed bocause of tho difficulty of securing competent ones when wanted for the trade season. Tho shipments^of boots and shoes for tho month ol' January have been 37,238 cases; last year thoy were 51, 993 cases, showing a decrease of 14,756 cases. Some al? lowances must bo mado, however, on account of the in terruptiou of freight fines during the last two weeks by unusually severe weather and heavy fall of snow. Thc clearances for the week by Bea and rail liave been IO.U'21 cases, among which we notice 2000 for San Francisco. Total silipnionts by rail 8342 capes. Total shipments of boots and shoes by rail and sea for the week 10,121 cases.
