The dry goods trade in New York is quiet, with but few sales. The market, notwithstand- ing the extreme lethargy, 1s in a healthy con- dition, and the future is looked forward to with much vope, but without much specula- tion as to when the spring trade will open. Few believe in a heavy trade during the year, but a healthy tone is expected. The city government of Portsmouth, N. H, organized New Year’sday.

THE ALEXANDRIA AND GEORGETOWN Katt- Roap—Row in the Alezandria Council.—Both branehes of the City Council were in session last night, having been called together to con- sider the question of a ratlroad along the banks of the Alexandria canal, and which bas become afruittul theme for disputation. During its consideration the city fathers were thrown into a high state of excitement by a game of fisticuffs which came off publicly between two ofits sagest members, Capt. Booth and Dr. Jobnson, provoked by an uncourteous remark by the latter, such as “d—n lie,” or “scoun- d, & proposition on the part of Capt. B to the crear gtheg Col. Wells and Mr. Dungan in regard to the proposed enterprise, which was combatted by the Doctor to a white heat, and caused the explosion.

A proposition for the abatement of an al- leged nuisance, occasioned by the presence of the railroad on Heury street, was introduced by one of the over-zealous, but didn't carry, and the wover backed, scratching his head.

Y., was the icauguration of his Excellency, Gov. Fenton, and Lieut Gov. Woodterd, and tbe formal organization of both houses of the Legistature. The proceedings of the Legislature were almost totally devord of pablic interest, aside from the election of the regularofficers The only other noteworthy event was the attempt on the part of Mr. Wilbur to rush the con- stitutional amendment on the house immedi- ately. Gov. Fenton, in his message, recommends the passage of the constitutional amendment, cails the attention of the Legislature to the measures needed for calling together a State constitutional convention; recommends that the number ef delegates be increased to thirty, to be chosen at large. and urges sach a reform of our higher jodiciary system as will increase the pace of justice, which bas been halting tor & number of years in this State, to the great injury of litigants. He urges strict economy upon the Legislature, ad vie uch a reform of assessments as shall make personal property bear its fair sbare of State te xation, and shows from the report of tbe Comptrolier that the State has been rnnning behindband during the Jast two years, the expenses exceeding the in- come. He also calls the attention of the Leg- islature to the necessity for some measure to force prosecuting attorneys to do their duty in bringing crimina!s to justice, and urges tnat the prisons of ike State be put in charge of cspable men, and that they be pot remov- able for political causes. He proposes topat the pardonipg power into the bands of a bureau or commission. He makes a suggests tor a board of unsalaried inspectors toexa) into the management and condition of the nu- merous charivies in the State which provide or profess to provide for invalid soldiers or the widows or orphans of soldiers. While stating Uatthe State militia bad been much improved, he urges the adoption of breech-loaders. He also recommends the removal of ali impedi- nents in the way of a free acquisition of in- struction by children throughout the State. Also, that turther measures be taken to con- tinue the protection and security from cholera this year. The charitable institutions of the State are in a gratifying conattion of usefal- ness. The population of the State ts 3.927,418— ap increase of 561,602 from 1°05, which is al- most wholly in commercial and manufactar- ing districts. The manufacturing products of the State have increased, since is00, from $379,000, 000 to $463,000,000. After the reading of the Governor's message in the Senate, Senator H.U. Murphy presented & memorial from Senator C. G. Uornell deny- ing all the charges thathave been made against him as street commissioner of New York, and asking for an investigation. Mr. Andrews moved thatthe memorial be referred to the Judiciary Commitee, with power to send for Teons and papers.

Mr. Donovan presented a bill allowing railway cars to run on Sunday. Messrs. Loury and Bingham each presented a joint resolution ratifying the constitutional amendment. Mr. Davis presented a resolation asking a reduction of the internal revenue tax on du ulled epirits.

The yearis closing under very improved prospects for the spring trade. There isless business this week almostin every braneh, but prices are much firmer, and after the first week in January a gradual improvement is anticipated to com- Standard brown shirtings and sheet- are steady at qu sons, with a light stock. Bleached goods show more activity since the last and recent reduction in price. Stocks are large. Drills are in restricted de- mand, with ap increased stock on hand ; quo- tations are nominal. The finest grades of Oan- ton flannels are in demand and firm: lower grades the reverse. Stripes are more active. Ticks are in moderate request. Denims are now inguired for, and are looking up. Prints are quiet. Stocks are light for the season and prices firm. Muslins-de-lnine are active, and new styles much sought for at sell- ers’ own prices. Coburgs sell freely in small lots to suit, and are steady in price. Low and medium grades broad-cloths sell more at the recent reduction, and the fine grades without any reduction.

Linseysare only wanted m very emall is. Flannels meve slowly, and are irregular in price. Blankets are duil, and lower for large sales. Foreign goods are very dull. An early activity is i for spring goods after the first week in January; especialiy in fine silks and all English and Frencb drees goods of good style, which have become indispensable among our rich classes, the members of which are img more nu- merous rapidly. Some time of difficulty is. however, looked for among the croakers. Yet Any temporary check or fall is not to be con- sidered hurtfnl; a sparing consumption of goods stone time issure to be followed bya Javieh consumption at another, and the area of trade is fast extending from season to sea- son.

TURKEY anDT 1 RIST1ANS.—The discon- tented state of the Obristians in Euro; es of Turkey, and the heroic efforts of them are now making to throw yoke ot their Mahommedan oppressors, continue to furnish matter of yneasy specula- tion for European ticians. The conductof the insurgent Oan: er ily in connec- tion with the blowing up of the monastery of Arkadi, by which its defenders sacrificed them- selyes and inflicted 3 severe blow u their foes, is exciting much adm‘ration in Engiaad, and it is thought that the Christians must have received some assurances of help, or they would not nold out so long against the power of Turkey. Russia does not fail to expres her sympathy, as usual, for the struggling Greeks, but it does not yet appear that she will take any active step to aid them. All the sid that they bave at present received has been from a few Garibaldians. It is thought that the pod sated of the French is anxious togain time the grand straggie for the division of the sick man’s estate begins, and this wi, also afford him time to complete his reorgani- zation of the army.

The large steamer Florida ieftt Vera Oraz on the Jéth with 1,100 French troops, and what is of more importance, with a fall cargo of arms and ammunition. A French war vessel ar- rived at Vera Oruz on the 19th, from New Or- jeans, h cable dispatches trom Napoleon saying that aii the 'ransporis would arrive there in January, and that he expecied ail the French troops to be on board within three weeks after their arrival. Everything mdi- entes that the French are hastening the evaca- awion. Maximilian was at Poebia,on his way to the City of Mexico, and will doubtless re- main until Alter the departure of the French troops, when he will probably attem leave. This will prove a hazardous step even Dis present friends, sccomplices, as Esiafette calls them, will ‘urn upon him Versa Croz, and im fact the whole country. tull of rumors, apd it truth.

The Liberals are aimost in posses- sion of the road from Mexico to Vera Craz. the Mails are captured and the horses takes from the stages, and it is supposed the march of the French troops to the coast will be mach baraseed, though no visibie enemy will make any opposition. A deischment of French troops were attaeked at Arrozeyan, and twenty to twenty-five men were killed and wounded, according to the French accounts, which say that the enemy's loss was greater.
