A- new manner of holding religious services was inaugurated by a colored preacher yesterday at the market house. He led off at first to a small crowd, but by a per sistent attempt at an old hymn he gatheredTunto liis fold quite a number of motly and rugged hearers. He was quite fluent when speaking of Daniel in the den of lions, and the idea sugges ted itself that if the lion's on that famous occa sion were half so hungry as the greater part of his hearers looked to be, the story never would have been told. He did not say whether this was the same Daniel so aptly illustrated in the wax figure show, and who was so easily dis tinguished from the lions by the blue cotton um brella which he carried under his arm. A hymn and prayer wound up this somewhat novel affair, in our city experience. Whether he is to be as successful in his enterprise as Whitfield was in his day, or " sensation " purgeon has been at a later one, will be dependent, no doubt more particularly upon the smell of beef about his pulpit. Mayor's Court. The mayor's court of Sat urday and Sunday was about as he previous days of the past week. On Saturday the two negros came up before the mayor and claimed the cotton which was held by the city as stolen property,: they bringing up proof that it be longed to them. It was hardly satisfactory to the mayor's mind that they were entitled to it, and so he decided against delivering it up. It is very easy to steal cotton, but hard to sell it with out some; proof that it is all correct and proper. Sudden Death. Mr. R. Bate died after a few days illness on Saturday night last, and was buried yesterday afternoon. He was president of the Howard fire company and a member of the masonic fraternity, by whom his body was escorted to the grave and buried with the honors of the society. The unfortunate circumstances connecting Mr. Bate's name with the killing of Henry Howard only a few days ago, is thought by his friends to have weighed so heavily on his mind as to have produced the disease that caused death. He had not been entirely well since the occurrence. He was looked upon as a very well- disposed and honest man. He was a native of England. Wilmington and Weldon Railroad. Office W. & W. R. R.

New Orleaxs, Nov. 16, 1865. The latest advices state that Monterey has been captnred by the liberals, who claim that they can take Matamoras when they please. Capt. Sinclair, late lieutenant of the privateer Alabama, captured an imperial transport north of the Rio Grande and brought her to Brownsville and turned her over to the lederal authorities.

To-night Miss Vernon appears as Juliet in Shakspeare's great plajy of Romeo and Juliet, Mr. J. H. Rogers, a new name uson the boards, appearing as Romeo. It is a fine caste and having seen it, we can pledge the part of Miss Vernon as one of great ability and taste. We are glad to see an attempt made by the manager to improve the caste of his company, and employ more usefully that he has already engaged. In a few days new additions, compri sing some very fine talerit, we hear, is expe cted, and with what he has now we think our winter entertainments will not only be entertaining, but instructive. Overhead. The sky last evening looked wearied, and taken in connection with the three past days of excessive and unseasonable warm weather more rain may be looked for. Rain is common to nowadays as to be unnoticed, and should there be another flood, it is very doubt ful whether there would be enough interest felt about the result as, to get up a life-boat. Sailed Saturday. The steamer Ariadne, of the Atlantic coast line, was advertised to sail from New York on Saturday last, and such being the case should arrive here to-morrow. She is one of the largest and lastest steamers that has ever been-in the trade between here and New York. Activity of the Navy De partment. A Large Portion of the Surplus Vessels-off-War to foe sent to Foreign Stations. the prison continue to be strict as before, and the food, correspondence and reading matter brought to the prisoners is scrutinized bo closely as to entirely shut out any attempted improper communication or aid from outsiders. Among the plana which have been in vogue for convey ing money and messages from external sources to the prisoners has been that of secreting in packages of smoking tobacco the object to be transmitted. This was early detected, and is now never attempted with success. Underscoring words in books at long intervals, so that when taken together they embody a sentence, is not unusual with the prisoners when about to return to their friends volumes that have been loaned them for perusal This latter intention occa sions cosiderable labor to the officers of the pris on, as it necessitates a careful scrutiny of all books that enter or leave the cells. The sanitary condition of the Old Capitol's occupants is very good. FISA5CIAL MATTERS. Supplies of the five cent currency will be sent South, where but little of it is in circulation ; but no more will be transmitted at present to the North, the demand there not being so great as in the other sections of the country. Owing to the many counterfeits in circulation, banking and other parties frequently semi notes of large denominations to the United States Treasurer's office, and asking whether they are genuine. That office has, not yet lost anything by connterfeits, its experts readily detecting spu rious issue. Complaints having frequently been made to the Secretary of the Treasury that letters ad dressed to the Department, and the various bu reaus, do not meet with prompt replies, an order has been issued that they shall be answered im mediately. THE TRIAL OF COMMODORE CRAVES. Witnesses for the defence continue to be ex amined before the Farragut court martial. Sur geon Potter and Lieutenant Phoenix testified that, judging from all the facts in the ca.4, Com modore Craven acted as a wise man, judicious and brave commander in not engaging the rebel ram Stonewall. The latter believed there would have been no more chance for the Niagara than there would have been for a brig in a combat with a frigate. NORTH CAROLINA MATTERS. Kenneth Rayner, of North Carolina, had a long interview with the president to-day on matters connected with the political interests of that state, including the restoration of its rights and privileges in the union., THE PARDON APPLICATIONS. Actions on the many applications for special pardon is nearly altogether saspended by the president, whose time is occupied with the con sideration of business of a pressing, if not more important character. BUREAU REPORTS. The reports of the commissioners of the land, pension and Indian bureaus of the Interior de partment are being rapidly urged forward to the hands of the public printer, and will come from the press some time during the coming week. THE COMPLAINT AGAINST GENERAL BAKER. It is said the recent complaint to the "rand ! jury against General Raker, chief detective of j the war department, originated in his raid on cer i tain alleged pardon brokers, whom he accuses of fraudulent practices. The merits of the question will, however, be tested by the court. RECOGNITION OP CONSULS. The president has recognized Robert Barth as vice consul of Austria at St. Louis, and Frederic Granados, vice consul of Spain, to reside in Bos ton. MUSTERING OUT THE VETERAN RESERVES. The work of mustering out the members of the veteran reserve corps, who desire discharges, commenced yesterday, with twenty-three compa nies of the First and Second battalions.

An order was received at Toronto on Saturday by Colonel Dennison from the adjutant general to select from his battalion a captain, two subalterns and a company of sixty-five men, for service on the frontier. A similar order was received at Hamilton on Monday. It 4s understood that nine full companies will be sent to different points on the frontier. EXCITEMENT 15 OTTAWA. From the Ottawa Citizen, Nov. 13.

While approving of the precautionary steps ta ken, we most earnestly protest against all at tempts to create a panic in the country about Fenianism. So far. the efforts to frighten our people have not been rewarded with any turrets. All classes are quietly attending to their busi ness, and paying very little heed to the devices of the sensation mongers. But abroad the ef fect is not so harmless. We are supposad by our neighbors to be in a state of dreadful excitement and terror. Vast lodges of Fenians in our midst are supposed to be drilling in defiance of the law. Government officials are thought to be in league with the conspirators, and it is devoutly believed that every approach to this city is strongly guarded, and the guards patrol our streets. An imaginary Fenian vessel armed with twelve guns, sails upon Lake Ontario, prepared at the proper time to do terrible execution. So thoroughly has the American public been hoaxed upon this subject tliat jersons residing in the States write to their friends here asking them to take refuge for a time in that country. It is not true that this country is at the mercy of a marauding party of Fenians, even if such a thing were organized and on its way to our borders. The authorities are amply competent, and, if ever occasion arises, will be amply pre pared to deal with the rascals. Our business men and property holders feel no apprehensions on account of threatened Fenian raids. The burglaries of the past year have created a hundred fold more alarm than all the Eetiian stories which have been told. The following letter from ex-Governor Clark was read in the Mississippi house of representa tives on the 20th ultimo : V "Jacxsox, Oct. 2S, 1SC5. "Gentlemen .I am profoundly grateful for the honor conferred on me by the house of represen tatives by their resolutions inviting me to a scat within the bar of the house, and requesting me :o address them. I should be proud to avail myself of the privilege of vUlUnir the house, but as I am still a prisoner of state and en parole, I feel that It would be improper for me. to deliver a public ad dress on the condition of the country, although I am sure that such suggestions as I might make rouJd be hi aid and support of the wise and con servaiive policy which, has been adopted by our people, and which I hope will soon result in the full restoration of our beloved state to the enjoy ment of equal political rights with her sister states In the union, aud under the flag of the union. With all of yon I marched under that flag in a for eign land, and it was victorious. With all of you I marched against it, and it was victorious. It again waves over us, U our flag, and may it ever be victorious. "The welcome that has been given to me on my return, is received with deep sensibility, coming from the representatives of a people whom I have served faithfully. If not wisely, and is a most ac ceptable and gratifying reward for such service as I may have rendered. "I am, gentlemen, verv respectfully your obedi ent servant, CHARLES CLARKE." in Confederate Colony In Mexico From the St. Louis Republican.

Joe. Shelby, ex-Goveruor Harris, of Tennessee, and J udge Ferkins, or Louisiana, were there at the time of his departure, With other roposed settlers of less note. Lieut, Maury, formerly of the Naval Observatory at Washing ton, was also there, and actively engaged in fur thering the scheme, by drawing up a report to be circulated in the southern states, with a view of nducing parties of colonists to come over and join them. The work of tilling the soil had not been fairly commenced, ami would be postjonea until there was a suitable accession to their num bers. This they expected to obtain In reasonable time through tlie medium of Maury's report, and the influence of a newspaper which ex-Governor Allen, of Louisiana, has commenced publishing in the City of Mexico. Maximilian, our inform ant thinks, is secure enough on his throne, pro vided the Monroe Doctrine be not broadly asserted by the United States. The armed resistance of the Liberals will soon be overcome, and the oppo sition to him be confined to the Church 'party alone. This opposition, however, is not apt to lake the form of a revolution, inasmuch as the Liberal party first confiscated the Church property, , and Maximilian's offence consists only in refusing to restore it.

To-day the time for receiving bids for contracts in the mail service of Virginia, West V lrginia, North and South Carolina and Florida transpired, and the formal awarding of the respective con tracts to parties whose rates had been accepted is under way. The contracts about to be con summated for service in the above states will go into effect on the 1st of January, 1866, and ex pire in June, 1867. It is reported that all the bids made for this service have been largely in excess of the rates formerly in vogue for the same routes. ? , THE CASE OF CAPTAIN WINDER THE OCCtTPANTS J OF THE OLD CAPITOL PRISON. Tt is stated that Dick Winder, now confined in the Old Capitol Prison, takes decided umbrage I at the-recent comments that have been made up on his situation in your Washington correspon dence, and asserts that the Herald in publishing them has taken mis means oi urging ms case oe fore a military commission. Winder also affirms that the statement that he has prepared an elaD crately warm and voluminous defence of himself has no foundation other than the fact that he has employed his. leisure hours in preparing a statement exoneratmg nimseii irom we aouses of nower which he is generally charged with hav ing exercised while at Andersonville, and which he proposes to place before the world, wheth er he may be held to trial or not. Aside from Winder, Duncan and Gee, there are no prisoners of any considerable note now incar cerated in the Old Capitol.

A PARDON-BROKER ARRESTED. A number of pardon-brokers add claim agents having brought business down to such a point that it became notorious that money was being paid for the procurement of pardons, and for other cases needing official assistance, the atten tion of General Baker, chief detective, was called to the fact by a pardon being thrust into his face by a notorious rebel bridge burner, who was also deeply involved in certain conspiracies ; on inves tigation he found a certain female pardon-broker, named Mrs. Cobb, had procured it for the sum of two hundred dollars, and had taken a receipt for its payment. One of his detectives wras sent to her, and un der an assumed name got a pardon for the sum of two hundred dollars, in thirty-six hours, with out said detective having taken an amnesty oath. On the last money being paid she was arrested and taken to head-quarters, where she was finally released on making; certain disclosures. ' Yester day she went before the grand jury, and to-day four bills of indictment were found against Gen eral Baker for larceny, false arrest, etc. Some rich developments are anticipated on the trial coming up, and a full expose of this branch of bu siness. It is understood that the president has forbid her to again enter the white house. CHARLES JAMES FAULKNER, Of Virginia, ex-Minister to France, under Bu chanan, is here again to try and get pardoned. He has a letter from Mr. Lincoln indicating his intention to pardon him. The statements that he has received a pardon from Mr. Johnson are erroneous. CABINET MEETING. The president to-day had a protracted cabinet session, secretary otanton remaining ior several hours. The doors were not thrown open to the public, and no admittances was granted to any one. No pardons were issued to-day. ADDRESS BY COMMISSIONER CONWAY. T. W. Conway, commissioner of freedmen from Louisiana, is to deliver an address here on Friday night in the Unitarian church, in favor of negro suffrage. THE INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS, From June 30th to November 11th, amount to almost one hundred and thirty -eight millions. MAJOR GENERAL SANBORNE, From the west, arrived to-day. He has been on business connected with the Indian department, MARCUS L. WARD, Union governor elect of New Jersey, arrived here to-night. THE NEGRO SUFFRAGE QUESTION. The board of common council have passed a resolution, by a nearly unanimous vote, that in the event of any bill being introduced in congress for the admission of the colored men of ashing ton to the right of suffrage, the mayor be author ized and directed to call the councils together for the purpose of taking into consideration measures for holding a special election to ascer tain the sentiments of the people on the subject. The aldermen have not yet acted on the resolution. Jlessajre of the Governor ef Iudiana. Indianopolis, Ind., Nov. 14. The governor's message was delivered to the legislature to-day. ; It pertains mostly to state affairs; recommends a prompt provision for the payment of the public debt, the estab lishment of a home for disabled Indiana soldiers and seamen, a bureau of emigration, seperate schools for colored children, and the repeal o the statute excluding negro testimony in the courts. He pays a tribute to the Indiana Boldiers and advises that although the heresy of the state sovereignty is exterpated, the questions in volved in the arbitrament of arms must be adju cated and determined by the highest judicial tri bunal in the tnal of Jen". Davis for treason and othtr attrocious crimes. He approves the president's reconstruction policy. He also advocates representation accord ing to the number of voters, and the adoption of such an amendment, if it passes congress. Conflict In BIiBlsippi We learn through a direct channel (says the Nashville Daily Press) that a conflict has already broken out between Provisional Governor Sharkey and Judge Humphreys, the governor elect. Humphreys hates the federal authority so badly that he wants Sharkey to get out immediately and let him assume the office of governor, while Governor Sharkey, on the other hand, refuses to abdicate until ordered to lo so from Washington. The president has instructed Governor Sharkey to hold on to .his office until it is ascertained whether congress will admit the Mississippi dele gation, and recognize her as a state in the union. It is understood that the president is justlypin dignant at the ill-concealed disloyalty of the gal vanized rebels in that state, and may possibly give them a severe rebuke. Colorado to be a. State. They have just had an election in the territory of Colorado on two important questions, viz : the adoption of a state constitution, and the exten sion of suffrage to the blacks.
