Tho weather Is perfectly awful to-day. No thing but mud and slush. - The news from Europe creates some excite ment here this morning, owing to the announce ment of another raise In discount by the Bink of England, consequent upon the decrease of bullion. Tbe txlal ot Salvador closed, last night, with a verdict of guilty ol niiiraor in the Hrst cleeree. Gonzales and Salvador will be sentenced by Judge Gilbert on Saturday next, at 10 o'clock. Quite a number ol our fashionable folks lolt In the early trains lor Jour city to-day. They will attend the Coterie Carnival to-night, at the Academy of Music, in spite of the woaiher. A meeting ot the stockholders of tho Colum-, bian Marine Insurance was held yesterday after noon, at which action in regard to the late sus pension of that institution was taken. It is esti mated that the company's assets are sufficient to discharge all its liabilities and leave a surplus of over a minion 01 aonars, ana it was unani mously resolved to Initiate measures for resum ing business with a capital not exceeding two millions of dollars. The 2 imee' severe criticism or Air. ltosencrg s picture, No. 8 of the Philadelphia Sketch Club collection, is not supported by our best artists and connoisseurs. It is looked upon a an un necessary exhibition of spleen on the part of tho critic. Curing the year 18S5 about 125,000,000 letters passed through the Post Office of the city of New York. The amount of postage on both let ters and papers was $1,721, 57!'40; amount re ceived lor box rents, $07,78075; expenses of office, $359,7!H71; r-rotit to Government over ex penses, $1,603,174-22. In the case of Weeks against Merrltt, the keeper of a livery stable and riding academy, Judpe McCunn, at the special term of tho Supe rior Court yesterday, decided that a judgment could not be set aside on the ground of Infor mal! tv or for any other cause, except the defense that the Judgment liad.alreaJy been satisfied. For some months past a succession of robberies have been from time perpetrated on the regular night express trains for the West, on the New York ana Erie Railroad. The total amount of the goods and baggage thus stolen will be over $10,000. Detectives Tilley and Scott, and OtHccr Tulley, of the Third Precinct, have been making Investigations; whicti have resulted In the arrest of Albert Beach and William Golden, two young men who had lormerly been in the employ of ,the company as newsboy and brakesman. A larcre quantity of the stolen property has been recovered from citizens of Port Jervis, New Jersey, who had purchased the same from1 the Srisoners at rates far below Its actual value, oth Beach and Golden will be surrendered to day, and they will be conveyed to Port Jervis for trial. A considerable portion of the recov ered goods now awuits ideutiticatiou by the owners. 1 Another writ of habeas corpus has been issued by the Supreme Court of this District, addressed to General Joseph Hooker, commanding the De partment of tho East, for the purpose of obtain ing tho release of one Charles H. Coles, who is alleged to be confined in Fort Lafayette, It is averred in the petition that the prisoner was arrested about sixteen months ago by tlio order oi the War Department at Washington. The petitioner states under oath that he does not know why he wa3 arrested, nor why he has been kept in pi ison for so long a time. Owing to the illness of Genera! Hooker, and the ab sence from town of Colonel Van Buren, the United States District Attorney was unable to make a proper return yesterday. The case will probably be argued to-day. . The Central Council of Fenians, composed of Messrs. McGrath, of Missouri; Sinnot, of Massa chusetts; Tobln, of Shawmut; Kavanagh, ot Cali fornia, and Rogers, of New York, are still in session at the Fenian headquarters, Union Square. All the official appointments are already made and continued, aud it Is expected that the entire personnel of the Headquarters; or nearly so, will give general satisfaction to the consti tuents. The Board on Military and Naval Affairs has also been thoroughly organized, and is said to be composed of officers of the United States service who have made their mark, not only s good fighters and skilful strategists, but as men of large views and sound, comprehensive, prac tical common cense. It is also noticeable that the members of the I. R. B., who figured round here in pretty large numbers lately, have all disappeared suddenly. One of them was heard to declare a few days ago that, being fully con vinced that real work was to commence shortly, the sooner he could get home to his post again the better. The clerks in the Bond Bureau have been busily engaged during the past lew days. Orders to a large amount are pouring In, and agencies are about to be instituted in all the principal cities and towns throughout tne country. The Central Council holds night sessions, as the memoirs are anxious that the business should be got through rapidly, so as to enable them to get home to their business and save the Brotherhood the "nve dollars u day and legiti mate expenses1' which the attendance of each costs the organization. There are no new developments relative to the Chilian privateer. Gold is up to 1304 this morning, but is un steady at that figure. Business is still reviving slowly, with no signs ot a reiaps-e. plton. Pbnnsylvania Coal. The returns of the an thracite coal trade ot Pennsylvania, collected by the Miner's Journal, present some very interest ing facta. The whole quantity mined and rent to market during the year 1805 was M88,3'Jii tons. At an average price ot eight dollurs per ton. this gives the enormous sum ot i.VJU7,itib. The bituminous and semi-bituminous coal of the State is not Included in the statement. If It 'were added, the total value of the Pennsylvania coal traae 01 tne yenr wouia prooaoiy reach ninety minions 01 aonars. Monument to Hfnry Wintkb Davis.-tA meet ing ol the irlends of the late Henry VVintor Davis has been held In this city, at which William J. Albeit presided, and Joseph J. dishing acted as secretary. Besolutions were adopted for the formation of a "Henry Winter Davis Monument Association," and tor the appointment ot com mittees on constitution aud by-laws, finance, and to solicit Dlans lor the nroDosed monument. Upwards ot $3000 were subscribed as an earnest ot the desire 01 those present to carry their pro position into enect. jsauimore bun, Jan. 11. Dead- Letters. A Washington letter says: "A public sale of the perishable contents of the Dead Letter Bureau toot place a week or two ' since, without enumerating tuesinguiar things brought to light, which can be seen in (.11 our vapers, I will mention two curious ones that I have not seen alluded to. One was a letter con- oir.4nnr a fherk for nicht thousand dollira in coin, directed to a lady In New York, requesting her to accept the enclosed as a return tor the kindness shown to my father and mother,' dated at the Astor House and signed 'John,1 who was tn atari immediately for Europe. The letter not reaching the lady was sent to the Dead Letter 1 Office. .The Postmaster-General directed his deputy at New York to institute a thorough search ior the ladv. who at last found her. and reported his success to the Department, very naturally adding that 'John had evidently more cwh than brains.' Another letter, from Idaho, contained two hundred thousand dollars in United States bonds, directed . to a banker in New York, who had left for Europe before the bonds arrived. Of course they were not lost, being flnany seat to the Dead Letter Otlice." Since August last the Treasury Department has destroyed $48,000,000 worth of mutilated and cancelled Treasury notes of all kinds, aud $10, 000,000 moN ure to be burned. SHERIDAN ON EARLY. Bcbel Uenernt again "Sent Vrhlrllnfr." The following is the letter, already alluded to, addressed by General Sheridan to a New Orleans paper, in reply to the Rebel General Early's recentstatementsinthe New York Daily News-. "Headquarters Mi lit art Division or ran Gulp, Mew Oblkavb, January 8, 1H6G. To the Editors of the Now Orleans Daily Crescent Gntlcraen: There Is a class of military men who should be considered worse than cowards, and to that class belong those who are willing and attempt to falsify history. "The following statistics should fix the status of ex-General Jubal A. fcarly in this respect, whose letter to the New York News furnished you the data for an article published In the Crescent of the Oth instant, iu which General Early slates that the forces opposed to my com tniM in the Shenandoah Valley consisted of about eight thousand five hundred muskets, three battalions of artillery, and less than three thousand cavalry. "According to the statement of my Provost Marshal-Gfueral, the number of prisoners cap tured In the Shonandoah Valley from August 4, 1HG4, to March 1, 1805, was about 13,00(1, and the names of nearly that number are recordod on the books recently used in the otlice of the Pro vost Marshal-General of the Middle Military Division. My ofticial records show that my loss in killed and wounded from August 1, 1ki;4, to January 1. 165, was 13,831, and General Early's loss was fully as great, If not greater; conse quently, we can safely estimate his casualties at 26,831 nun. I also enclose herewith a statement by Lieutenant McKee, of the United States urnnunce corps, exnioiting a 11st 01 one hun dred and one pieces of field artillery, captured from General Early's command, in the Shenandoah Valley, from August 4, 1804, to January, 1805. This statement does not include six pieces of field artillery captured at Waynes boro, lour at Greenwood Station, two at Char lottesville, and four at South Anna Bridge, on my march from Winchester to Petersburg, during tne months ot February and March, 188 . General Early's statement that he had about one thou sand men at Waynesboro, is hard to reconcile with the fact that over one thousand four hun dred men ot his command were captured at that engagement; and his estimate of my forces is incorrect, Dut that may be considered a pardon- ame error. 'I am. gentlemen, very resnoctfullv. vour obedient servant, P. II. Sheridan, "Major-Gcnerai United Slates Army." This letter Is accompanied by statements from C. B.

John son, late ot Maryland, were in Eicbmondaiew days ago. At a recent meeting cf the Board of Super intendence of Richmond Prison, held in Dublin to Inquire into the escape ot Stephens, the Fenian leader, one of the members gave an amusing instance of the manner in which officials were appointed oefore the Board got the appointment. Lord Clarendon, the present secretary 01 foreign Anairs, wnen viceroy, nominated a cast-on servant to be the school master in the Drison: but when he came to dis charge his duties it was found that he could neither read nor write. L.oia ciarenaon laughed heartily when a deputation went to Dublin Castle to remonstrate, and said that as the Government was so liable to be imposed on by false recommendations the Board had better mane ail such appointments inemseives. ' The Chinese In Australia seem to be under a most extraordinary obligation with reference to the'-deceased of certain rank. Twelve months from this date some time to look forward to, by-the-way the Chinese throughout the colony will be called upon to contribute to a general fund, which will then be used for the ournose of conveying the remains of live hundred bodies of defunct celestiuls, already consigned to mother earth, from this colony to China. Dur ing the last twelve months a similar number of dead Chinese 01 a certain ranK nave Been shicrjed to the flowery contihend from Victoria, It appears that the Chinese in this colony are once everv two years called upon to convey five hundred bodies to cmna, that number repre senting the rate ot mortality among a certain class ol celestials on the troid-neids to whom the privilege of interment in Chinese soil is specially granted. MATTERS OVER THE RIVER. Thk Matobalxt. The xapid approach of the period tor holding tbe next municipal election in Camden begins to invest that event with the greatest importance, and politicians are eagerly casting about for candidates who win oe creairame to their choice, f or the last two years the ollices ot Mayor and City Marshal h9ve been well and competently tilled by their respective incumbents. Paul C. Budd. Eso... and James W. Campbell, having been elected to thee pcBitions by the union party. These geutlemen have been faithful in the discharge of their duties, ana a majority 01 uie Uepublican party deem it unwise and impracticable to make a chaugo in these two ofheers tor the coming venr. There are a number of candidates aanirinor for the nomination, but it is gratitvlne to realize that the Union party have determined hereafter to nominate none but noneat, eminent, and trustworthy men to any position in the gilt of their party, auo to mane no changes where gen tieinen nave proveu inemseives wormy. iADODT in tei act. l apiain JUurrav of the Federal street night boat, caught a negro, last nigni, in uie act 01 secreting an axe Deiong ing to the boat, lie was pushing it down hlu back inside of his coat The Captain arrested him and bad him forwarded to the Mayor. The culprit had a bundle with him, which was duly examined at the Mayor's otlice, aud found to contain tour large fat chickens. He "didn't know nothln' 'bout 'em," and "mout took'd dem in bis sleep," for he "couldn't remember." The Mayor thought somnambulism might prove too dangerous an afllictlon for the darkey, as well as lor neighboring hen-roosts, and locked him up. , ' New II A li.. A number of enterprising Individuals in Camden, having tho welfare of the city and its citizens in view, have taken measures for the erection of a fine and capacious hall, in which to hold various kinds of popular lectures, amusements, concerts, etc. for tbe public edifi cation. There is great ned of such a building, because there Is no place in Camden sufficiently lBrge for such interesting exercises. Tbe build ing will be erected under the auspices of the Directors and managers oi the Philotechnte In stitute, and a pait ot it appropriated for the accommodation of that school, which is now in a prosperous condition. ' Unfaithful to his Trust. The watch man emploved to look after the ferry boats at Cooper's Point, at night, was detected in pilfer ing various articles belonging to the steamers. A warrant was iRsued for his arrest, but he learned the laot too soon for tho officers, and fled. Ills wife wns arrested, charged with being a party to the theft. At the Station House she plead so earnestly for her baby, thit an officer took her in a carriage to ber home, when she brought it with her, and entered the lock-up in quite a cheerful mood.
