From onr n. York Correspondents.
New YORK, Jan. 6. 1864.
Ed. Wig,
New Years Day was celebrated here in
the usual way by making calls. DC, but it
is complained that while the ladies were
more extravagantly costomed than hereto
fore the tables Of refreshment we're more
lightly laden than ever. It was difficult to
get even a lunch, without going to a restar-
aunt. Punch was stranger and egg nogg
scarcely made its appearance. In some Of
the houses Of the upper ten, " the ladies re-
ceived their guests in very formal manner.
They appeared in full dress seated upon di-
vans; while their visitors were led toward
by servants in livery and after making their
bows were led out again with an equal a.
mount of ceremony.
1t is a historical fact Of which the public
cannot be too~often reminded that the En-
press Of Russia in 1893 refused to receive
Mr.. Dana, the American Minister until the
ratification Of the treaty by which Great
Britain acknowledged the independence of
United States. Russia acknowledged the
natural enemy of republicanism; and the a.
postate species of Christianity Of which the
Car and his generals are the high priests,
is the natural enemy of true religion New
er was the Cross more UNANIMOUSLY and prac-
tically blasphemed, than BY that spurious
and corrupt offshoot Of the Greek Church
which enslaves and brutalizes the great
Sclavonic race. In this connection may
express the fervent hope that the resigna-
ton Of Lord Palmerston in England viii lead
to the dissolution Of the miserable Aberdeen
Cabinet and that a new Ministry with Pal
merston in the department offoreign affairs
will be organized so as to give vigorous
impulse to the Anglo French alliance against
diabolcal despotism Of Nicholas. The pre-
pretence that Lord Palmerston resigned be-
cause he was unwilling to cooperate in the
House Of Commons is simply absurd as ev-
cry man must know who is at all familiar
with the history Of English politics L is
notorious that he was the most powerful adj
vocates Of the removal Of The Roman Cath
Ole disabilities and that his ardent support
of the Reform Bill in 1881 cost him bis seat
10 Parliament as member for the Univer-
sity of Cambridge. TO suppose that he
was now opposed to reforms to suppose that
he has abandoned the cherished policy Of
his political life. The truth is that he has
left the Cabinet because his colleagues were
not willing to give Turkey that active support
uhichshe needs. Had his advice been fol-
lowed any Russian vessel ID the Black Sea
would have been captured or destroyed long
before this; and hemassacre at Sinope would
have been prevented.
Itmakes favorable impression upon the
mindsof the most distininterested persons,
that while the lower House of'Congress has
