The New York Tribune of Yesterday saws ::

We have to report sensible dminution of the Dry
Goods trade during the past week. yet the general bust
ness In Domestcs has that appearance of inactivity
which has characterized former seasons. The demand
from the furnishing houses has continued without
men; the cothers cauvassing the market for the
early Spring fabrics the export trade has been moderate
y good and is only with certain styles of goods which
have been made in too quantities that excessved u
ness prevails. The movement OF the crops will have
important influence upon the future demand from the
West, and goods business is expected all through the
season by those houses having Western connections
Even now we hear of frequent lquidatons of old in
debtedness and fresh orders for goods by parties
sections which we have not previously heard this
year Nevertheless there districts in the North
which have suffered in their crops, still under the
embarrassmens of 1857 and will not be able take many
goods, much less pay past Indebtedness

Esq, on behalf of the Captain, thanked the
company for the present, and assured them

The LATE ELECTION AS VIEWED ABRoAD.-The
Philadelphia Inquirer INDUCES in some pertinent
remarks upon late election and does not acquit
its city of crimes and outrages similar to those
committed here. 1t says:
From Baltimore we learn that two men were
shot dead in that city the night of the election
This stern fact, in addition to the general account
given of the action of of the politicians at the
election, shows that the character recently claimed
for that city cannot be maintained 1t is folly to
say, where naturazed citizens aye afraid to 90 to
the polls that city is well governed-t is absurd
| to say that a city is peaceful and well ordered
where men are shot down remorselesslv by those
who are cOnnectad with the political arena. Our
own city on the night of the election, a scene
of several disorders and of crimes against life
! These acts make us share in the infamy that at
| taches to Baltimore. If men to be stabbed and
( murdered because they give expression to the ut
terance of opinions, it is time to revise our laws
and assign terrible penalties for those who infringe
| the first law of the land-liberty.
