in modified form even after the establish.

although, not celebrated in honor Of

with great regularity, and may be yet In
many localities. But no where in the

wore celebrated with the greatest enthusl.

ance Of Shrove Tuesday should still be
kept up with great vigor here. The city

New England has had rain the past
week for the more idle portion Of her ma.
chinery, and the prospect now Is with the
return ol peace in Europe, and water to
New England, we are not likely TO have
any famine in the dry goods trade, and
hero those who were sanguine in securing
extreme prices for all textiles a few weeks
ago, now begin to realize that with
tue Indifferent demand and. increasing
stock, their bright anticipations are
not likelyto be realized. Tho first class
Of goods which begin to feel the effect oi
the depression is printing cloths, which
have fallen 10 Gic for standards, and the
trade Is also awaiting a decline now in
the price OF printed calicoes. In con.
formity with the price Of grey cloths, the
prints Of second .class work will fall To
10!c. Good prints Of choice styles sell
all year ut lie for fancies. Heavy brown
sheetings and brown drills arc cheap

hrics that could be named in plain sheet.

are higher articles. Colored cOttons arc

SAN DOMINGO.
The Coming Attempt 10 Drive
Through the San Domingo JOB.

IurOuSn tue San DOmlnbu JODt
WASHINGTON, February Is.
The opinion prevails among Senator'S
that the San Domingo purchase will not
be brought up until after the adjournment
OF Congress, and that m extra executive
session Of the Senate will be called by the
President to act upon the treaty. II Is
generally agreed that the annexation can
be fully completed without tho consent Of
the House, except voting the purchase
money. II does not appear that there has
been any change upon the ques-
tion in either House. The oppO-
nents Of annexation profess to see
no reasons for changing their views
on full information respecting tho island,
furnished by newspaper correspondents,
which the friends Of San Domingo con.
tirmed, in their opinion, by iaCts thus
given. Both parties are already prepar-
ing their arguments, and tho prospects
arc that the contest over the report Of the
Commissioners will be long and exciting.
Prominent Senators, who heretofore OK.
hibited no partisanship on either side, say
that II will mot be possible to get two
thirds vote 10 ratify the treaty Of annex.
alton, whatever the report Of the Com.
missioners may be, md that the Senators
who will oppose the treaty have fully
made up their minds already, and will
place their opposition on the ground Of the
inexpedlency Of the annexation OF more
contiguous tropical territory.
