DULL TIMES.-As a cotemporary says, this is tho oft-repeated expression of thos? who have nothing to do. We arc sorry for them. Dull times, indeed! with Christmas only three days off-tho shops and stores filled with tempting goods and thronged with happy parents and delighted children getting ready for Christmas! Dull! yes, it may be. and should he, for tho drone; but for the man of work, there is no such word aa dull. The baby to feed, hoops him from feeling dull, and the little feet to shoo, | koop him busily moving. Let the loafer talk about cut-throat days; why don't he I cut and stop his grumbling? These arj cut-throat days, however, for tho porkers, and right glad are wo of it. Vi o have a talent for disposing of sausages and spare? ribs. But pork is not tho only favorite about these times, for, by common con? sent, everybody takes to turkey during thc holidays. Turkeys! who on Christmas bled, Turkeys! who on corn have fed, Welcome to us, now you're dead, And in tho frost have hung. Nuw's tho day, and no w's the hour, Through tho market how wo scour, Seeking turkeys to devour Turkeys old and young. ' Who would ho a turkey hen, Fed and fattened in ? pen Killed and oat by hungry men Can you tell) I pray? Lay tho proud old turkeys low, Lot tho yuuug ones run and grow, To market they're not tit to go, Till next Christmas day.

At twelve o'clock last Friday night a fight took place at Flynn's porter? house, in Spring street, New York, between Patsey Evans and Luke Murphy for $100. Twenty-four rounds were fought with varied suc? cesses, about equal punishment hav? ing been given and received by either party. The Herald says: Round twenty-four and hist was the best contested of tho battle, both men fighting with extraordinary spirit. Murphy fell from a terrible blow upon the chest, and when down his second claimed that a foul blow, had been struck by Evans. Tho claim of foul was put in but not al? lowed, the referee deciding against the claim. At this moment, tho in? formation was received that the fight was discovered, and that a raid was meditated by the police, whereupon the referee decided thc fight a draw, and the parties hastily departed. Both parties were considerably puuished, Trans' peepers being quite closed. Evans stands six feet two inches in height, and weighs two hundred pounds avoirdupois. His antagonist, tho "Unknown," from Quebec, stands six feet two and a half iuches in height, and weighs ouc hundred and ninety-eight pounds. Both parties will immediately go into training for the impending contest, which, from the exhibition of Evans' gameness in this last mill, will pro bably prove a closely contested bat? tle. " VAI?TJAKLE DISCOVERY.-It is said that a smelter in our mint has disco? vered a new process by which the Government in coining money will save at lesst $2,500 out of every mil? lion dollars made from bullion. The process is to be kept secret. Hy Telos^pii. Cable !)rs;iatrlict. PARIS, December 21.-As manifestations of the cordial relations existing between Frunce and tho United ?States, the farewell dirtier of Minister Bigelow, yesterday, wa? a very successful affair. Slr. Kellogg, in his speech on that occasion, declared he was glad to say that thu traditional friend - ship between tho two nations had buen re? stored. LONDON, December 21.-Tho case of the United States vs. Prioleau came up again ' before the Admiralty Conrt yesterday, when Minister Adams refused to sanction thu agreement recently entered into be- I tween the United States Consul Morse and the firm of Fraser, Trenholm ?V. Co., tho actual defendants in the case. An exten? sion of time was granted to the United States to prepare for carrying on tho case, but the securities of Prioleau were dis- I charged. Newi Menin. SAN FRANCISCO, December zO.-Governor McCormick, of Arizona, visits San Francis- , co at the request of citizens of Central Arizona, to confor with douerais McDowell j and Hallcck concerning measures necos- j Bary to protect tho people of that section from continued murderous outrages by tho | Indians. NASSAU, N. P., November 21.-The work of rebuilding continues rapidly-the ar? rival of carpenters from New York having given additional impetus to the resident workmen. Thc ruins of Trinity Wesleyan Chapel are being cleared away, and seve? ral extensive warehouses aro also being rapidly pushed to completion. NEW YOIIK, December 21.-St. Peter's Catholic Church, in Jersey City, an elegant structure just completed, took fire last night, from some unknown cause, and be? fore tho flames could be subdued, badly damaged the inaguilicent organ in process of construction. Thu loss by lire and water will perhaps reach $20,000 An adjourned meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, for tho consideration of the advisability of memorializing Congress tor a reduction of tho tax on cotton, was held yesterday. An unusually large number of members were present. Tue speeches against the object of the memorial were on tho principio that it would be wrong to remove tho weight of taxation from tho staple article of tho South, while few, if any, of the products of Northern industry escaped the heavy burden of which the advocates of the memorial complained. Tho question was deferred indefinitely. WASHINGTON, December 21.-Witnesses havo been, and are being, examined boforo tho Grand Jury of this District in the case of Snrratt. A subprena has been issued for Lloyd, who kept thc hotel at Surratta villo, but it is said ho cannot bo found. Weichmau, who was the principal witness for tho prosecution iii tho conspiracy trial, eas already given evidence before the Grand Jury. MARRIED BY ACCIDENT.-Last even? ing Edward Thayer and Miss Hellen P. Jelliniau, attended by Mr. Austin Humphrey and Annie E. Crause, went to St. Paul's Church, the former couple to get married, and the latter to act tis groomsman and bridesmaid. They all stood up before tho altar, and the officiating clergyman, the Kev. Mr. Dunn, supposing that both couples were to be married,''request? ed the gentlemen to join hands with their respective ladies, which was done, and in a very short space of time the four were made two. The situation being fully realized by the latter couple, they concluded to ac? cept what tliey could not very well help, and all adjourned to their boarding houso quite well pleased with the result of the preacher's mis? take.-Detroit Union, Qth. More than half of the income tax comes from three States. Thus, in 1865, the total income tax was $20, 560,000, of which Massachusetts paid $3,193,000, New York $6,222,000, and Pennsylvania $3,431,000-these States aggregating $14,8-16,000. COMMERCIAL.

There was an increased demand for money to-day, and comparatively few transactions at G por cent, on call-the bulk of new business being at 7. Tho sup? ply of capital here is large, and there is no real causo for any stringency, as tho Government is neither selling gold nor drawing upon the national banks. Tho decline in jpld causes a feeling of distrust, which induces money -lenders to put tho rat<* up to 7 per cent., and the Wears have been endeavoring to absorb as much money as possible;, so as to as?ist the downward movement. There eau be no permanent stringency in tho money market in the pro sent dullness of general trade and limited volume of speculation in Wallstroct. The gobi market closed at 133?. and the two ex? tremes of the day were 134J and 133$. The deciino iu gold to-day exercised a depress? ing influence at produce exchange, and there was a general decline in prices. In tho merchandize markets, there was a heavy feeling to realize, ami lower prices would have to he accepted. 7 P.

Upon being brought to Greeley's uotice, he riled np, aud said: "Soward bas brains enough to go? vern tho country. No man has a clearer or better h ^ad; but the trou? ble with Seward is, th at'he is* an in? fernal scoundrel. " We learn from the New York Even? ing Post, of Monday, that the funeral of Paul Drayton, Most Worshipful Past National Grand Master of tho colored Masonic fraternity, took place yesterday, from Zion Methodist Episcopal Church, corner of Bleeker ami West Tenth streets. At the time of Mr. Droyton's death, ho was on a mission to South Carolina, to organ? ize Masonic ledges ?.along the colored people. The Galveston Kcics, alluding to the rapid progress making by that city, mid the spirit of enterprise every where mn lifested, says : "A large portion of our active trade is now carried on by men who were not here before the war, aVid we believe it is but just to them to say that they have set an example of enterprise which is at the foundatiou of our present prosperity." FAILED TO COME.-The New Or? leans correspondent of the New York World says: "The massacre of Union mon, fixed by the Tribune correspon? dent for the 1st of November, failec to come oil* according to appoint meut, although the weather was ex? tremely linc." And asks: "What amaziug lie will b< next concocted bj that imaginative person?" THE REGICIDES..-It is a little start ling that, within thc space of abou one year, atte mpts should have heel made upon the life of the Empero of Russia, the King of Prussia, ant now upon the Emperor of Austria besides those made upon tho Minis ters of the two first of those sovo reigus. The trade of thc regicid seems to be reviving, and yet it neve prospers. A New York despatch says: "Ste phens' headquarters exhibit an ani mated spectacle. The men are bus inspecting ammunition and armt arriving from Pennsylvania and Deli ware, collected by Colonel Condor Donations amount to 1,000,000 round of fixed ammunition, with arm; Texas sends 3f>,()00 stand oi* arms au $4,000 in currency." A BASH PROMISE.-A prominei Democrat, of Hornellsvilie, Ne York, pledged himself, beiore eic tion, to one of the clergymen ther that if the Democrats were defeate< he would attend church every Sal bath for two years. He now dec?an that "he will stand the puiiishniei like a mau." RUMORED DIFFICULTY WITH TI UNITED STATES.-The. London Gio hints at a serious difficulty betwei the British Government aud the Cal net at Washington, in respect to tl duties of the latter in maintaining legitimate and faithful neutrality the Fenian matter. The mud is so deep in Mempl: that some mud wags-they ought be called polly wogs-put up a sig "A man drowned here, to-day." bewildered countryman, coming b and noticiug the sigu, remarked th he had lost his friend, and asked ho had not better have the strc dragged. Tho great wonder in the State Iowa is the "Walled Lake," which three fcut higher than the eartl surface, and occupies 1,900 acres, hus not yet been ascertained win the water comes from or where goes to, yet it always remains fre and clear.
