Mesjagc uf the Governor of Sew York. ALBANY, Januarv 1.-The Legislature met to-day, when the Governor's message waa delivered. Ho congratulates the Le? gislature on the return of an honorable Seace, and earnestly ?urges thc claims of ?e disabled Belchers of New York for per? manent relief from the General and State Governments. The Comptroller's report shows a deficiency of $1,790,000. The re? ceipts for the fiscal year ending Septem? ber 30th amount *o $16,?73,000, and the payments to $10,4*3,000. The tunned debt of the State amounts to $6,050,954, the sum of $228,000 having been redeemed during the year. . The Superintendent of tho bank depart? ment reports one hundred and nine hanks conducting business under the State laws, and that one hundred and ninety three have retired from the old system during the year, nearly all of which have been converted into national banks. The amount of outstanding circulations is about $27,000,000. He speaks' favorably of the national banking sy: tem. The Governor says thc State has made steady progress in agriculture and manu? factures. Colleges and academies of the State show a gratifying continuance of prosperity and usefulness, and the school system increases in efficiency and impor? tance. The Governor suggests further legislation in view of the increased law? lessness and crime, and suggests sanitary measures to meet the cholera. The re? ceipts of the canal department for 1865, show a decrease ot seven hundred and eighty thousand dollars from thc previous year; and the expenses for repairs and maintenance of the ca .U exceeded that of 1864 by nine hundred and thirty-two thousand dollars. The aggregate exceeds the surplus net revenue of canals hy near? ly fifty thousand dollars. The canal debt is nineteen mil ion four hundred and twenty-:bree thousand dol? lars. Tho balance "of the sinking fund available to the payment of the principal and interest is three million two hundred and twenty-eight thousand dollars. The Governor anticipates thc payment of the debt of -1864 by O-tober, 18G8, reducing the entire debt to eleven millions live hun? dred thousand dollars. State Comptroller Robinson's report says there is duo from taxes by New York city ; two million six hundred and sixty-seven thousand dollars, which, if paid, as should have been, would have left a surplus indlie | Treasury on the 30th day of September of ! one million four hundred and eighty-eight thousand dollars, instead of a deficiency. The tax?e, however, are now in course of payment in the city, where thev are not collected until th? fall, or nearly a year later than io other countries. The total debt of the State is twenty-five million four hundred and seventy-five thousand rive hundred and thirty-four dollars. In I860 it was thirty-three, m Ilion six hundred and twelve thousand dollars. Philadelphia papers of the 2d r? a destructive fire in that ?dings No. 607 Chest ^ otwrjied by Harnden's ^ 5mpany,^os.

The Governor will not be ready to deliver his message until the 7th. The London Times has no objection to the annexation of Canada to the United States, provided it is done honestly, "above board and by fair eals to the sympathy and good ? of the Canadian people. The President's message had been received in Paris with feelings of re 1 and gratification. From Washington. A special despatch to the Philadel? phia Ledger, dated Washington, De? cember 31, says : A majority of, the Committee on Banking and Currency are understood to endorse the suggestions and views of Mr. McCnlloch, against tiny addi? tional inflation of the currency, and there is reason to believe that none will be ordered if the act can possibly be avoided. At the same time, the most cogent arguments are being brought to bear to show that there is positive need of a further increase of currency for use at the South ; and these arguments, I apprehend, will be found too strong to be overcome. It is fortunate for the country that there are some excellent financiers on both the Ways and Means and Bank? ing Committees, and by their sound judgment the balance of the mem? bers will no doubt ?be guided. So far as the South is concerned, it is morally certain that she must have pecuniary help, if it is expected that she will go on and produce her crops of cotton, tobacco, sugar, rice and other staple products. A supply of funds to work with in the production of these is fully as imperative as a supply, of reliable labor, and there is little question but what, when once the funds are within reach, the labor, in some shape, will be close at band. The war wiped out every bank and financi?l institution in the South swallowed them tip as completely as an earthquake-and nationid banks must, for a while at least, take theil places, if we are to count on furthei and regular supplies of the valuable products of that section. It is but ? truth for the Ledger to assert that, ai the North aids in building up th( agricultural prosperity of the South so does she aid in building up he] own. The Southern people are anx ions to "speed the plow' and gir the cotton, but they cannot do thii without help, nor must that help b< long delayed. The rumor I gave you, last summer with reference to a seat on the Su preme Bench for Judge Sharkey, ha? been revived. In point of capacity Sharkey has few equals, while in poin of diguity it would bfc* difficult fo any Judirc to stu*pa.ssiuim. That th? South will have thejfacant seat, yoi may set down as ?jf?rtaiii. The estimate^of tho Light-hous Board for tho/completion of repair to light-houses damaged during th late waigani for one hundred and fift thousa^Buollars more, making a sur totalfl^Rnree hundred thousand do] lars wurch the war cost the Unitei States in) the single item of lighl houser. The Washington correspondence o the Cincinnati G.izette, under date c December 29th, says advices from th city of Mexico contain some very in teresting statements with reference t the treaty entered into by France Austria, Italy, Spain and England, t guarantee Maximilian's throne. ] is now alleged that this was signe some sixteen months since, befoi the war for the Union was closed, an when the opinion was universal! held abroad that the rebellion won! be successful. The guaranty of tl integrity of Maximilian's Empin however, remains, though it has nc been deemed prudent to make : known up to this time. Recei events, especially the diplomatic co respondence since the close of tl: war, has made it, in the opinion < the upholders of Maximilian's ai thority, desirable that the text of tl: treaty should be given to the world. It is understood that the next mn from the city of Mexico will bring tl text of this treaty, which will be pu! lished in the Diario, the official org? of Maximilian at the Mexican capita The advices from that quarter ali state that Maximilian and his friem entertain no apprehensions respec ing the permanence of his empire; : addition to the guaranty of the Wes ern powers, there are large materi interests at stake. One compau a French one, is building a road fro Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico. Maximilian's sujiportcrs boast th tl. ?se two roads will be complete before our Pacific road; that it w secure a good deal of the traffic the East Indies and Eastern Asi which we hope to monopolize by tl building of the railroad to the Pncit? There are mining companies, ma n factnriug associations and other lar enterprises on foot, both in Euglai France, who will have claims ou tin respective governments which w induce them to insure the permanen of the Mexican empire. ThsJPresident will send a messaj on the assembling of Congress, reply to a r?solu t^BB^. the Hon: stating the reason why JeS^Davis h not been tried. In substance it w be the same as contained in hx9?jl message. He elaberates on the m ter somewhat by showing that he 1 already opposed his trial by milita commission, and gives his reasc therefor.- As soon as the necesst legislation is completed by Congr for the holding of a United Sta Coiu t in Richmond, the trial will immediately proceeded with. The French Minister flatly cont diets the report that Maximilian going to leave Mexico. He has i vieres of a recent date, indicating tl Maximilian is stronger than ever w the people, and that in a short ti everything will be in a most satisf tory condition for the stability of t pretended empire. I . From Now Torie. ? A correspondent of the Charleston News writes' as follows under date of New York, January* 1 : The new year comes upon us with a cheerful- smiling countenance; and men, women and children, catching the pleasing infection, have, like? wise, smiling countenances, and smiles are all around. Nature smiles, the ladies smile, and gentlemen, congre? gated around Delmonico's and similar resorts, smile excessively, in a spiritual manner. There is a custom here, "more honored in the obser? vance than the breach," to make "calls" on New Year's day. Hand? some ladies remain at home to receive these calls-^tables are set out, groan j ing under the weight of refreshments, I to say nothing of best brands of old [ Cognac, first-rate Sherry and Marl eira, and to say something of the sundry bottles of sparkling Heidsick. Gentle? men come in and "call," receive smiles* from the ladies, more smiles from the bottles, and, remaining a few moments, go smilingly on their way to make more calls. On Saturday night we had a respectable fall of snow, and early on Sunday the merry sleigh bells sounded, pleasantly tinkling on the ear. The old year went out to the music of the bells, the chimes of old Trinity ringing it out, and ringing in old sixty-six. The new mayor honors the New Year by a reception in the Governor's Room, of all who wish merely to pay their respects, and wish him "many more." There was a New Year's dinner given at the Tombs, but jt partook more of the gay than the grave; and the prisoners, remembering the wast? ed turkeys in front of them, forgot their cares behind them. The new year made its debut with great success, and everybody accepts the situation, and welcomes old 1866. The Strong divorce case has come to a weak and unsatisfactory termina? tion. After a trial of five weeks' duration, the jury retired and delibe? rated forty-five hours, at the expira? tion of which time, owing to the stubbornness of ten of the jurors, who refused to concur in the opinion of the other two, they were compel? led to agree to disagree. And as his Honor the Judge had charged them before they went up stairs, he dis? charged them when they came down, and Mr. and Mrs. Strong are still man and wife. And now this dis? graceful trial has eudedin not ending, and it is to be hoped it may not be? gin, to have a new beginning. A terrible casualty occurred here yesterday, which resulted in the suffocation of a family occupying a portion" Qf a tenement house iu Grand street,- produced by the in? haling of coal gas. Two of the victims have died, and other mem? bers of the family are in a condition* which renders recovery somewhat doubtful. I have spoken of it as a casualty, but certain facts, in connec? tion with the affair, make it to appear to have been the result of design. It seems that Mr. John Hunter, the landlord of the premises (No. 507 Grand street,) rented certain rooms to a family in opposition to the wishes of his brother, Ed. Hunter, who had a spite against them, and had, in vain, endeavored to compel them to vacate the premises. In ono of the small apartments there was a stove, from which tbe gas and smoke would arise through a chimney; but it was observed, a few days before the dreadful affair happened, that the smoke refused to ascend and escape ?vs it hatd previously done, and it was subsequently discovered, on exami? nation, that one of the flues of the chimney had been choked up. This stuffing up of the flue is supposed to have been the act of Ed. Hunter, who has been accused formally, and the matter has been submitted-to Coroner Grover for investigation. The victims were suffocated by the inhalation of the coal gas during their sleep, from which two of them never awoke to life. It is a curious coincidence that a similar case of suffocation occurred in Worcester, (Mass.,) on the day pre? vious, resulting in the death of one Artemas Ward and wife. This, how? ever, is not the humorous writer, who has adopted this name as a norn de plume. Your readers, no doubt, remember the great Ketchum forgery and delal cation case that created such an in? tense excitement here several months ago. The operations of this prince of forgers were conducted on such a gigantic scale, and the position he held, or rather, has held, in society was so exalted, that everybody felt satisfied that by some meai_9 or other he would escape conviction and pun? ishment. But, as i3 often the case, everybody is mistaken, as your cor? respondent can testify, who was pre? sent on Saturday last at the Court ol 0&a?ral Sessions, and saw Edward B. KetenuterStMMitat the bar and receive bis sente?ceoMour years and. sis months' impriso'timent in the State prison. Ketchui-o bad been sent tc the city prison, thence he will be're? moved to Singeing. The law of /copyright in ?England bas just received a judicial interpre tation which is of great importance to America?* authors. The Lord! Justice of ^ippeals have decided tha an American author, residing ii Canada di/ring and at tho time of i publicatio/n of a work composed bj him, and/first published in England is entitle^! to a copyright there. J Tat? PsaaiisENT's FORTHCOMING PRO? CLAMATION-RECOGNIZING THE SOUTH AS Lox AX.-The special Wathington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun writes as follows to that paper, under date December 31 : The country will learn with great satisfaction that the President intends to issue his proclamation declaring that the States lately in rebellion arc restored to the Union, and entitled to recognition as loyal States, as soon as the progress of State rehabilita? tion, now going on so successfully, si"*^ be completed. Texas and Florida are passing through the stages necessary for their organization as States. When the President shall be enabled to turn the Provisional Government of those States over to the Governors elected by the people, he will issue the proclamation of re? storation. It will be hailed with joy by the people throughout the coun? try, and it cannot fad to exert some influence over the policy of Con? gress. After this proclamation it may be supposed that no obstacle will remain to the admission of Southern mem? bers, unless, indeed, it be determined by the Republican majority to keep the lately rebel States out of the Union, and under territorial or mili? tary governments, until certain con? stitutional amendments be agreed to, and certain legislative measures adopted. Col. Segar has authorized a con? tradiction of the report that Secre? tary Seward had told him that the Southern members would be admitted upon the r^ ssembling of Congress. It? may be assumed that Mr. Seward is in favor of their admission, inas? much as in Ids diplomatic correspon? dence he disclaimed the policy of a war for any purpose than that of restoration of the Union, and declar? ed that the rebel States might be restored simply by sending backtheir Senators and Representatives to Con? gress. But the South has done more for the sake of peuce than Mr. Seward then hoped for or required. COTTON AND SUGAR IN MEXICO. Maximilian is making great efforts to secure a sugar growing or cotton cul? tivating population in Mexico. The New Orleans Bee has the following interesting fa ts: On all sides agricultural colonies have sprung up, andar? in prosperous progress. Six haciendas, (ahacienda is an esiate often containing thirty or forty th uisand acres,) in the imme? diate neghborhood of Cordova, have been subdivided and allotted among the receut emigrants from Europe. Two vasi plantations of cotton have been est olished by Mr. Wood, of Ala? bama, upon the Rio Verdo. aud pro? mise an abundant crop. The official journal contains an application of M. Gil for permission to rent the stock of Mesquital to twenty Belgian fami? lies. It produces one hundred fold of corn. Senator Gil adds: Mr. Terry and family, with ten other persons, had arrived. They were officers of the Confederate army. They desire to obtain a large extent of country suitable for the production of cotton, sugar and corn. They have been offered varions locations, and there are many persons who take a deep interest in securing the success of this, colony. Mr. Jimenez has im? ported five hundred European labor? ers with their families. He will set? tle them upon the hacienda of Santa Rosa. In the New Hampshire Republican State Convention, on the 3d. resolu? tions were adopted declaring that the tone and temper of the President's message meets with their warm ap? proval, and argiies well for the succ?s of the administration. A resolution was also adopted, declaring that the scheme to plant, by foreign bayonets, an Austrian despotism in Mexico, is a standing insult to our power, and a menace to our Repubbcan institu? tions. The Governor of Wisconsin, in his j inaugural, says that the people will | not be satisfied until the highest J judicial tribunals shall give expression j to their verdict that attempts to right real or fancied wrongs by resort to arma is treason, and not until Davis is convicted and hung. A shooting affair occurred in Rich? mond, on the 5th, in the hall of the Capitol, between Pollard, of the Examiner, and Tyler and Coleman, of the Enquirer. Six shots were fired* without damage. The affair produced great excitement. A suit was commenced in the Su? preme Court, in New York, on the 3d, against Secretary Stanton, by Joseph Maddox, for alleged false im? prisonment. Damago? claimed, $100, 000. \i\ _ Artemus Ward says that as a Son of Temperance he believes in tem? perance hotels-though as a general thing, they sell poorer liquors than the other sort. As telegram has superceded the word telegraph, so, in London, the word "Paragram," threatens -to iake the place of paragraph. A contemporary says the arti'io which produces so many deaths from "unknown causes" is sold in every town and village in the State-, The Cbicago Postmaster has placed girls instead of young men for clerks at the kubes' window, to save time and flirtation. i Co-anting HODH Calendar for 18G6.

Williams, a planter of Florida, states that with a j force of about 100 colored hands, he j raised during this year from 200 to ' 250 bales of cotton, each bale weigh ing 500 lbs. The "ill-wind" which roared across Ireland last month, blew "good" to Patrick Murphy, of Slatery, Queen's County. It removed the thatch from his cottage, but revealed to him a horn, filled with four hundred guineas and several Spanish dollars. AN AUSPICIOUS BUSINESS FUTURE. The New York Journal nf Commerce says there is no material depression in business circles such as was com? monly anticipated, and there is uni? versal hopefulness regarding the fu? ture.
