ation ceremonies. A Philadelphia dispatch says intelligence has been received there that the United States Minister to Venezuela has been charged with attempting to smuggle goods into Porto Cabello, and that great excitement has been caused thereby in that town. The Venezuela insurgents have possession of Maracaibo, and are said to be importing war munitions from Europe.

A sufficient force had been detailed from Fort Ontario to patrol the streets at night. It is understood that Lincoln will not sign the bill regulating trade between the loyal and revolted States and repealing the act authorizin

The Legislature. --It was uncertain last evening, up to a late hour of the session, whether the Legislature would adjourn, as provided, extend the session still further, or leave the Governor to call an extra session in April, after the election. A majority of the members, we apprehend, favor the latter proposition, as all who are candidates for reelection are anxious to get home to canvass their counties.

onfederate Government at an end. Stephens's plan for peace. Stephens proposed: First. Let President Lincoln issue an address to the army and people of the South, embodying in that address what he has before said as to peace, and also what passed at his interview with the Commissioners.

The young men's Christian Association. --This association has been one of the best safeguards to our young men, in furnishing them with a proper place of resort for instruction and improvement of which our city could boast. Its library was destroyed by the great fire of April last. To enable the society to procure new books, and to re-engage in those works of charity which have made its name a household word in many a sorrowing family, a course of lectures will be delivered this season, the proceeds of which will be applied to those objects. The first of the series is announced in our advertising columns this morning; and its subject is one which will attract the attention of all who admire a Christian hero. The fame of General Jackson is well shown in the admiration which his name excites among Northern as well as Southern men. The last time we were in a book store, an officer of the United States army entered and purchased a likeness of "Stonewall Jackson." A few doll

uently. Heard Mrs. Ould say in Meade's presence that they were to be married; were going to Alexandria, and that witness must come and see them. Mrs. Ould showed her a locket, that Meade had given her, with their likenesses in it. Up to last of April I had been at work for Mrs. Ould. She wanted witness to make her wedding clothes, but having a sick child, could not do it. She got some one else to do the work. Never saw Mrs. Ould but once after that, when she was riding on the hill in an oped. She is an industrious woman, and supported the family. Mrs. Ould was the active business person of the family. She sold a large number of things — jewelry and wearing apparel--to keep Meade up. Never saw him employed in any work. It was in April, after the fall of Richmond, that Mrs. Ould wanted witness to make up her wedding clothes. To the Mayor.--Mrs. Ould's husband left her in 1863. He came from Atlanta, Ga., and said he was going to run the blockade, and wanted her to meet him

New Orleans Looking up. --A New Orleans letter says; "Since I last saw it, in April last, the Crescent City has prospered greatly. Then, the principal streets were half filled with vehicles, the majority of which were ornamental; now, they are three-fourths filled with vehicles which are chiefly useful. Then, there were plenty of single rooms to let in all the hotels, and plenty more not occupied; now, there are three new hotels, and no single room to be got in any of them. Then, there were steamboats at her wharves from the Mississippi and Ohio alone; now, they are crowded with boats from the Red, the Arkansas, the Yazoo, and other rivers and bayous too numerous to mention. Then, she had two regular lines of ocean steamers; now, there are seven, employing from three to nine steamers each. Yesterday, (I choose at random,) nineteen steam vessels cleared from her wharves, two of them being ocean steamers. Besides these, there was a large number of sailing vessels, and
