C Tax LADIES' FAIR.-We would re mind our readers that the Fair for the benefit of the Catholic Church-to aid in the erection of a suitable building for worship in this town-will take plaee on Monday evening next, the 19th instant, at 6 o'clock, in the ball room under the Odd-Fellows' Hall, when a large attendance is expected. F.lrALIN FEMALE SEMINARY.-Mrs. Jones, the principal of this institution. having partly obtained possession of the house lately rented by her, is now prepared to take day scholars, and in a few days will have all her arrange. ments completed for the comfortable accommodation of boarders. In the academic department she is assisted by her daughters, the Misses Clark, young ladies in every respects qualified for the undertaking. Arrangements are also in process of completion to secure the services of a professor of French and Music, the acquisition of which we hope will act as a further induce ment for parents to patronize liberally this institution. From the high recom. mendations awarded to Mrs. Jones and her daughters, in every particular, we *herish the belief that this seminary will fully answer the expectations of I1l. Her terms, which are very liberal, -an be seen by reference to our adver tising columns. The severity of the weather for the past week has consider ably - retarded operations, but a few days, it is expected, will perfect the ar rangements throughout. 17- The Baton Rouge Gazette, an excellent journal, has again changed hands, and will hereafter be conducted by-Mr. Philip Winfree.

KosaTra.-A telegraphic despatch, dated on the evening of January 13th. says that the Legislature of Maryland passed a resolution welcoming Kossuth, but repudiating his intervention doc trines. Kossuth was received at both Houses on that day. He arrived from A2nnapolis on the same evening, and was to leave for Harrisburg, the Penn. sylvanian seat of government, on the following day. Tas PaouTrrawes AFrrIR.-There is every reason to believe that the Pro metheus affair will lead to a better un derstanding, and that no British force will hereafter be stationed at San Juan de Nicaragua.

".4 On Sunday night the wind blew fresh $5 from the north, and considerable cold wiz: as experienced, which continued to S; increase, and the following morning in- ushered in one of the rawest and most Sei disagreeable days ever witnessed in the South. The sun hid his cheerful pe- face all day, the atmosphere exhibited a murky appearance very unusual in the this latitude, and the whole face of ery Nature portended that something more be than common was about to transpire. the Early in the afternoon it commenced ed snowing, and the flakes continuing to he fall thick and fast throughout the after- I ge noon and night. exhibited to the waking . eyes of our citizens on the following morning, a sight that would have donei credit to the North-snow to the depth of several inches covered every spot of C gIround and every roof! Even the r " "oldest inns nianit r-u'm . . - witti astonishment,and for a time ap- t e. peared unwilling to admit even the! r e evidence of his visual organs that such d id a body of snow could possibly have g fallen in Louisiana. At length he ex- s e claimed: " Well, this beats all! Snow e in Louisiana-and such snow! It is all n 1. owing to their new-fangled notions- c I, their telegraph wires and their railroad li schemes! It is no wonder that we have such weather, when we've got so close 5. to the North as to speak to them as - quick as lightning! Well, they won't iget any aid from me in their infernal p v schemes! Why. after a while we'll E have our Mlississippi and our bayous n so frozen over that our summer heat i won't thaw them before they're frozen h, again ! and we'll have to go to South America or some other out-of-the-way w place to make our sugar. Oh, these cursed abolitionists are at the bottom of it all !-they are determined to render ot our slaves so useless here that we will be compelled either to liberate them or I take them out of the Union! I see a through their schemes, the infernal c scoundrels !-they'd like to make us it fall down and kiss the earth at their ci command !"-No sooner was this ex clamation uttered, than - whack ! there goes a snowball, and off goes the j old gentleman's hat!-whiz-z-z!-an other, and he kisses-not mother Earth, Cs but her virgin daughter, the snow!- le These assaults proceeded from some young men who were enjoying the novelty of the occasion, and who, to increase their sport, had transformed m themselves into various pieces of flying o artillery, ready to wage war against any hapless wight who might per- D charnee stray that way. It was n by glorious time for the " b'hoys!" Busi nese was mostly suspended, and little tha was done save the purchasing of great coats, boots, anti the like. which was rather brisk. "But," as the old woman said when she threw herself out of the th window, "youth must have its fling!" -and as all here disclaim to be old on such occasions of merriment, our youths on had theirfling of snowballs, which was in kept up "hot and heavy" throughout fat the day. Some, with a view of dis- io playing their notions of northern refine- it ment, knocked up sleighs, and drove o01 them through the town, to the merry jingle of bells; but no sooner did they ac enter Main street than they encoun tered the heavy volleys of the flying ist artillery, whose balls whizzing about but their ears made them retreat in double ul quick time. cu But all sublunary pleasure is brief. ou and so proved that of ours-it vanished t'o with the cause that gave it birth. ceas- o ing with the first melting of the snow, f and leaving " not a wreck behind." It atl had its day, however, and fulfilled in tra part the prophetic language of a dis- wh tinguished Senator and statesman, that po "as the North goes, so goes the South," thu and we doubt not that in time, with the is aid of science. "they will both go to gether." On the whole we may safely assert that Monday, Tuesday and Wed- hi nesday last were southern days with northern principles. the flon HEALTH or Ma. CLAY.-The Repub lic of Saturday, the 3d. says: "We learn from the medical attendants upon this distinguished statesman, that his condition still remains such as to re quire his being kept quiet, and the re sult of his affliction is very uncertain, though ardent hopes are entertained for his recovery." FIaa.-A fire broke out at Vicksburg on the morning of the 11th instant, at the corner of Washington and Craw. ford streets, and notwithstanding the exertions of the firemen, the flames qmickly communicated with the the atre, which they consuomed. This is the third time the theatre has been burnt down within three years. There is no doubt that the fire originated with an incendiary, as the ropes of nearly all the engines were out so as to render them useless. The bell ropes of the churches had also been cut, and much delay consequently occurred in giving the alarm. $' Rev. Dr. Thompson, of Buffalo. said in a late speech there, the audienec applauding, that he was in for the fight which Kossuth wanted, which was to fight for peace and for the doctrine of no-iaervesie as laid down by K.o ttlnth. NEW BooKS.--We have reoived as from Mr. J. C. Morgan. of the Nov Or leans Literary Depot, several vauable g. and interesting publications, mnong e. which are the following: Rh "Harper's New Monthly Magaine" Id for December-a work too well :hown to to require an extended notice. ±uffice ig it to say that it is one of the bet and St cheapest publications of the da) beau in tifully printed and illustrated. ind re ul plete with instructive and entetaining ,d articles. It is in every respec neatly in got up, printed on fine paper, aid offer ,f ed at twenty-five cents a numbs. The e present number contains a sietch of R. the life of Kossuth, which wit at this d time command earnest attentinm: also, - a narrative of the American Actic Ex Spedition, fitted out by Mr. Heiry Grin i nel, of New York. , "The International Magazire."-This e is a work in every respect lile the pre h ceding, of equal claims to nerit, and f of the same artistic excellecee. It is i mostly a compilation of the choicest --.tute of the leadi;-' pelriort.- .of the day, .. - excellent family e magazine. It is published by Stringer h & Townsend, New York. e "Fernley Manor; or, Edith the Incon stant."-A very interesting tale. by Mrs. Mackenzie Daniel, a writer of much merit, and one of the most successful caterers of the day in the way of light literature. Price 25 cents. "Cecilia Howard, or the Young Lady who had Finihed her Education."'-An excellent work, and one that should be placed in the hands of every young lady. It is written by T. S. Arthur. Esq.. the very announcement of whose name must recommend it to the read ing community as a work of merit, for he never writes anything from which a good moral cannot be drawn. His writings tend more to show in the 1 proper light the many absurdities and frivolities of the age than that of any other extant. " The Coin Chart Manuual."-This is a very usefnl work, not onlyv to the I commercial m in but to the traveller. It contains 1125 fac-similes of the f various gold and silver coins found in circulation, to which is prefixed the value dof each in the federal cu rency. t The while is compiled and arranged by - J. Thompson. banker and broker. Wall street. New York, and pnbli-hed by J. C. Morgan, Exchange Piace, New Or leans. r All the above works. together with a a large collection of standard. law and miscellaneous publications are offered for sale at the lowest cash prices by J. t C. Morgan, proprietor of the Literary t Depot, Exchange Place, New Orleans. t by whom orders for any publication will be promptly execut:d at the lowest cash prices. He is constantly receiving s the latest publications. and our country a friends needing anything in the line of tl hooks. stationary. &c., cannot do better than give him a call. I: ARTHUR'S HOME GAZETTE.-Many of Sour readers are doubtless aware of the s intrinsic value of this publication as a family organ, for it has a wide circula tion in the domestic circles, to which it rightfully belongs; but as all may riot have had an opportunity of ac quainting themselves with its char acter, it may not be out of place to state some facts in respect to it. It does not piofess to keep its readers ad vised of the current news of the day. but has a holier office to fulfil-to in culcate morality as the ground-work of our lives, and by means of examples of good and evil, intervoven in entertain ing tales of fiction, for the amusement of youth, to set forth the pleasures and advantages of virtuous actions as con trasted with those of an opposite course, which sooner or later bring their own punishment. Its editor. Mr. T. S. Ar thur, under whose sole control and management the Gazette is published, is a gentleman of great literary ac quirements, and his tales command a high interest from all who read them, both young and old. Their effect in the youthful mind is to excite emula tion to good deeds, and to eschew those of a contrary tendency. His first num ber for the new year commences an excellent tale, written by himself. en titled "Riches witheat Wings." the title of which sufficiently indicates the impt)rtant lesson the author proposes to teach. In order to give this paper the highest degree of interest, the best writers in the country are engaged as regular coctributors to its columns: and this at a cost for original literary matter of nearly $3000 annually. In short, this weekly is a valuable acquisition to the family circle, in which it may be the means of doing much good. It is placed within the means of every one, being but $2 per annam; or, if taken in connection with ":Godey's Lady's Book." with which Mr. Arthur is inter ested, both can be had for $4 per an num, and it would be a difficult matter to lay out that sum to better advantage.

In each town- I g ship of the State one quarter mile of a land has been set apart, to remain for- t ever devoted to the support of pub- 5 n lie schools. The number of acres thus c e reserved, in the whole State, is about t d one million, which, with other lands F devoted to the same purpose. are now " worth $2,500.000. increasing in value s !at the rate of at least ten per. cent. r every year. o A committee from the Legislature of v P the State of Indiana in a report lately c madeon the subject of Common Schools, a e strongly recommended the organization v of Normal Schools. .

The quarrel is said to have originated in a' n s dispute relative to the course pur-ued tt iby the M,Ianyar since his liberation n 1 from Kutayhia.

The Diplomatic Corpr in Paris.-The Paris correspondent of the New Yorrk Commercial contradicts the statemenit which appeared in the French semi official papers, to the effect that "all the diplomatic corps appeared at the President's levee on Monday night, af- 1 ter the coup d'etat, and congratrrlat t him on his success," and says --This is I incorrect. so far as the represerntative of the United States is concerned, as he I was not at that levee, nor has he yet formally recognised the present Gov ernment." The appearance of Lord Normanby. the English Minister, at this levee is regarded as significant of the inten tion of the British Cabinet to recognise the rule of Louis Napoleon. inasnmuch as it is not likely he would have pre- t sented himself orn such an occasion without the positive instructions of his Government, which he has the power a of hourly consulting by means of the % submarine telegraph.
