Affairs in New York.

New York, December 21, 1865.
The affairs of the Fenians still continue muddled. The members of the press were yesterday excluded from the Senate. Yesterday several prominent circles passed resolutions endorsing the O'Mahoney faction.

John Hackett, convicted of the murder of John Greene, was yesterday sentenced to be hanged on the 9th of February next.

In the Supreme Court, Harris, charged with being a Confederate spy, was yesterday brought forth for trial. A writ of habeas corpus was served upon General Hooker for him, which was at first disregarded. A decision will be rendered in his case on the 28th instant.
