NEw-YoaK GIVEN Ur.-A correspondent Of the
Charleston Is. Co. Mercury, writing from the
Hot Springs, Va. says: Z" 1t is openly said here
that The Democrats of New. York are not doing
their duty. Though largely in the escendent,
they cannot or will not be reused to action. The
defeat of their favoritc son, and that effected too
as they (erroncously) believe by Southern infu-
ence, has evdentiy paralyzed the efforts OF the
party, many of whom will not go 10 the polls.
For this reason, and the thoreugh organization
of the Wings, there is some ground for the belief
that that great State is lost to u.s..

1HE WEATHER continues extraordinarily mild
and pleasant for the season, and everything
around US betokens an early spring The buds
OF the trees are swelling, and the fields begin to
present more cheerful aspect. Our fishermen,
we learn are not idle, but have everything in
preparation for an early season, and that some of
them have already taken possession of their
landings, with their tackle and hands, in antici-
patton OF it, We hope they may be enabled to
haul up from the "great deep" full recompense

DEVELOPMENTS OF HIGH-PRIcED RAscALITy.-
For some weeks there have been vague and in
definite whisperings, in certain " Ineligible"
circles, of exposures in high life to be shortly
made. We have already spoken of the affair,
and we now learn that, shortly, the veil is to be
raised upon system of vice SO utterly and art
fully corrupt and depraved as almost to defy be-
lief. 1t would seem that we have, in the fash
lonable vicinity of Broadway, several extra mag
ni6cent and gorgeous ladies' club-houses, where
are celebrated all the infamous mummeries and
rites of male seduction, gambling, and prostitu-
ton, on scale worthy the invention of an Ar
baces Under pretext of masquerade balls, la
dies bowling and oyster saloons, billiard rooms,
gymnasia, &c., the victims-generally clerks to
wealthy moneyed houses, or officers in financial
institutions-are inveiged to enter, where they
are met and entertained by elegant and splen-
didly accomplished women, Haunting in all the
destinations and accomplishments OF fashion,
who teach them to forget, first, their senses in
the intoxicating bowl, next the honor of their
wives and families in the embraces OF illicit
love, and finally their golden integrity in the
fatal and murderous snares OF the gaming table.
Here are in fact, the nurseries OF those as
founding nfidelities in social life, and those
startling defalcations in business, which have
made our city so UNANIMOUSLY notorious. Here
the hideous skeleton of vice is clothed in such
dazzling and enchanting robes that the wretched
thinking the while he treads on roses
dreams not of his doom, until the Inevitable
abyss yawns wide beneath his feet. Then,
broken hearts, desolate hearths, dishonored faith
despair, robbery, theft, suicde-eke out the
miserable tale, and the fower-hung sepulchre
opens moment its monstrous jaws to admit
another victim,--Neao York Aurora.

There was little extra union and harmony
at meeting of the Sixth Ward Locos at Dunn's
Hotel last evening. There were three regular
parties-Calhoun, Cass, and Van Buren-the lat
ter the weakest, though the meeting was called
expressly to form " Van Buren, Association"
In the row, they tipped over the stove, spilled the
water Kissing thereon for the the benefit of the
punch-customers, and scaded the lower half OF
several of the contending patriots grievously.
The meeting, we believe, then exploded.

ANOTHER SHOWER OF FLESH AND Broom

ANOTHER SHOWER OF FLESH AND BLooD.-
An extraordinary sensation was created in Jersey
City, on Tuesday, by the fall Of substance re-
sembling bloody flesh, in pieces varying from the
size Of dime to twenty-five cent piece. The
rumor Of the mysterious shower soon spread
around the city, and people gathered from all
quarters to examine the substance. The Miller
ties were particularly interested in the matter,
and contended that it was one of the gerry last
"Signs of the Times" urging all to look for the
immediate dissolution of old mother Earth sew
eral venerable ladies took the hint, and made in
Simultaneous preparation for going off. Even the
most sceptical in father Millers doctrines sus-
pected something might happen, and looked upon
the flakes of bloody matter with no little con-
sternation We confess the affair is rather
strange, and calculated to puzzle the wisesl
heads. Tt appears that the shower fell upon a
small space, probably not over eight hundred feet
square; and the flakes resembled pieces of bloody
flesh more closely than any thing to which we
can compare them. Wherever the fakes fell on
linen, the "blood" gradually spread over the
cloth, leaving a thick, feshy substance in the
centre of the stain, which gave out an offensive,
fetid small The clothes-lines within the bounds
Of the shower were almost all well-stocked with
newly washed garments, and the flakes fell so
thick that even the smallest garments were
stained, all having to be re-washed Immediately
II is our opinion that an aqueous meteor did all
the mlschief-N. Y. Sun.

quantity of them have been sent to us. The

MADAME CATALIN1 STILL ALIvE.-Ihe account
copied by German journals from the Journal des
Debats respecting the alleged death Of the cele-
brated Angelica Catalini at her villa near SIM
gagli, proves to be quite erroneous. 1t appears
that, on the contrary, she is at present at her
villa in the neighborhood of Florence, and is in
the best state Of health that could be expected
with reference to her advanced age. AS proc
Of this it would be sufficient for US to state that
on last New Years day, the songstress had a
circle of friends around her at dinner. On this
occasion, the account of her death was read
from the French newspapers, in the midst Of
lively exuftaton,s and the clang Of champagne
glasses.

CLAY CLUB MASS MEETING.

The Wings of Washington met at their usual
