St. Valmtisi's Dat. We have so often told all we know and all we could learn about the good Bishop Valentinus, who gave a name to this merry day in our calendar, that we feel disinclined, this year, to reiterate the parade of lore on this subject, we have already so frequently laid before our readers. But the day has come round again, and cans for some notice at our Imnds. it would be out of rule, we suppose, to omit a reference to it especially as this is Year for SL Valentine's is the day on which love, at will, no matter whether the love making be well received of Otherwise by the object of it For what says Spenser, ia his Faerie Queene" on this bead? tor, on a day, when Cupid kept his court, As he is wooot at each St.

We suppose it will be deemed cyt regie, this bissextile year, for the ladies to take the initiative in love making, and that those pretty, missives, so daintily besprent with hearts, and darts, and arts, which lovers use to send the objects of their preference, will be mostly written in female script wr .1 1. Al 1 However una mar ic, uic suuuir ui vtueu tines at the bookstores and stationery establishments of our city was never more profuse, and their was never more varied and attractive, than we have noticed it to be this year. By night, thousands of them, inscribed with "words that breathe and thoughts that burn," sealed with perfumed wax, stamped with quaint device, with many a meaning lurking beneath, signed Your own true Valentine," and superscribed with the one loved name," will be silently fluttering through the streets, avenues and squares of the city, and creating pleasing emotions in hosts of hearts.

May we' not be pardoned for repeating the expression of the hope that the privilege of St Valentine may not be abused, as it some times has been, in the circulation of those objectionable missives, whose only object is to insult, and whose sure effect is to wound To the ntterers of such, a couplet of the celebrated Earl of Roscommon shall be our Valentine Immodest words admit of no defence.

Baton Rouge, Feb. 12, 1S5C The Senate Chamber has been well filled to day, there being a larger attendance of mem hers than on any former occasion. A large quantity of business was cut out, but nothing of any importance was concluded, uiadly would I furnish you with a synopsis of what wss done, but everything appears so compli cated in its present state, I wait for the bills and resolutions to mature to something like passing condition. Several propositions to amend the Civil Code are before the Senate, but they are a loug way from passing. The debate to day took a legal turn, and was participated in by Messrs.

Ilyams, Uerault, Ryan, Walker and Pierce. Several bills were ordered to be printed. I subjoin a copy of the bill, which has passed the House to day, on the subject of contested elections. I think it will interest your readers AN ACT relative to appeals Iu contested election cases. SEC 1.

A That all laws and parts of a law, inconsistent with the provisions of this act, be and the same are hereby repealed. This has passed both Houses of the Legisla ture, is enrolled, and now awaits the Governor's signature, which it will receive to mor row. You may think I am jesting, but I nm not when I tell you that Mr. Hufty, the Sheriff, will be addressed out of oflice by the legislature. I cannot be mistaken in the signs and indications before me.

His case will in all probability be commenced to morrow if not then, the next day. Mr. llufty will have but few backers in the general assembly, and it will require but a small effort to remove him.

nuaiuri. The Parodi and Strakosch Concerts. There was a fine attendance at Odd Fellows' Hail, last evening, on the occasion of ile Parodi's and the Strakoschcs' last concert but one of the season, and tho brilliant bill, of which we gave the details yesterday, was performed to the admiration of all who were present. Another of equal variety and attraction, and embracing some features not heretofore presented, is announced, we see, for to morrow evening, at the same place. This concert is to be the very last these favorite artistes can possibly give in New Orleans this year.

It will be seen that M'lle Parodi, M'me Amelia Patti Strakosch, Signor Maurice Strakosch, Mr. "White, the excellent tenor, late of Plocide's Varieties, and an emi nent Hungarian pianist, Jules Karkalits, of whom report speaks highly, will take parts in this concert, which promises to equal the best entertainment of the kind ever given in New Orleans. M'lle Parodi and M'me Strakosch will sing The Star Spangled Banner." Their voices will blend superbly in giving effect to the stirring music of our favorite national anthem. They will also join in the celebrated duet from the Semiramide," the Giorno d'orr'ore." Parodi, besides, will sing the aria from the St. Paul" of Mendelssohn, Jerusalem," in which she made so powerful an impression on Monday evening last, the brilliant variations bravura, by Hummel, one of her most successful morceaux, the great aria of Fides in the "Prophete" of Meyerbeer, "Ah, mon fils!" and the sparkling gipsy song, from "L'Etoile du Nord." M'me Strakosch will eive us Schubert's charming song, "Ave Maria," her merry little ballad, "The Timid Man;" the famous Brindisi Irom the "ljucrezni Borgia," for her performance of which, in character, she has has won high praise, ana the two duets with Parodi.

Air. J. M. White will sinz Wallace's fine song, "The Star of Love," and Leonordi an aria from the St. PauL" Mr.

Strakosch, on this occasion, will give us his Musical Eockets," and The Banjo," on the piano, and, with Mr. Karkalits, the celebrated "Wedding March," from Mendelssohn's Midsummer Night's Dream," arranged for two pianos. We think this enumeration fully bears us out in the assertion we made, that this is to be one of the very best concerts ever given in our city. Stkam Between Mobile asd New York, Havana.

IntereNting WcciMnn of an AmHscment One of the Supreme Court judges of New York, in deciding the Christy Minstrels injunc tion case, (to which we have before alluded,) made some remarks on public amusements which are somewhat peculiar. This case, it will be remembered, was nn application, by Edwin Christy, against one Murphy and others, to restrain and prohibit them from using the npellation of Christy's Minstrels," to which title the plaintiff claimed the exclusive use and right. The following decision was rendered by the Court It is now well established, that the Court will pram an injunction ruinst the use. bv one tradesman, of the trademarks of another.

Will this protection be extended to enterprises umiertukeu for the purpose of atfordinir amusement or recreation to the public With retard to trade, it may be allepeil, that the inter ests of commerce and the encouragement ot industry niHni'V stlv rennire and deserve the interposition of the Court while tho well being of society is not siim cientlv concerned to require tlie extension ol tins specie of protection to undertakings ol wiilcti the main, if not the sole object, is at the best mere pastime. This can he the only around on which itCBn be plausibly claimed that the Court cuu make any difference in iuterposinjj relief between the present cone and an ordinary case of trade marks. But I have been unable to discover any essentiul difference, in kind, in reference to this subject, between establishments formed tor the purpose of trade and those formed for the purposes of mere amuse ment. There mav be, in decree, a diflerence and a considerable difference, iu the respecttibility and utility of such undertakings; but while neither exer cises'or is ueoessarilv calculated to exercise any de moralizing influence, I consider one as well entitled to the protection of the law as the other. Man does not live by bread aloue" that is, the complete enjoy ment even 411 tua puysicai exisicuw noes not uepeuu upon mere food or raiment, or other material substancesbut upon the exercise of the various and numerous meutai and moral faculties, with which Jod lias endowed us.

Nothing Inis been shown on this million to induce me to believe that the establishment ol" the rlainlin" had nnv tendency to produce effects of tiiis description. These entertainments mav not be of that kind, in which men of the highest refinement and delicarv of culture would take any paruculardelight, but they serve a very salutary purpose, if they afford diversion and music to the million, at a small expense, aud without the dissipation and silly display of places of much greater pretensions. The plaintiff organized and established In 1 1 1 a baud of performers ot negro minstrelsy, which be named after himself "Christy's Minstrels." IK was the first who established this specie of entertainment.

When he romiueticed it, he incurred some expenditure of time, labor aud money, and on tinned it with success in this city until the full of li04. when he suspended it here and went to California. After an absence of some months, he re turned. He lias not yet resumed his performances. ut declarer iunt it his intention tuun In do tu.

For the rea otis I have mentioned, 1 think he is entitled to its exclusive use. and unless he has given the deft ndauls a license to use if. his P.

The few days we were favored with pleasant weather have been quickly followed by another decided cold term, and it is now just as much as even a well clothed person can do to keep warm. Thus far, there can be no mistake, the present winter has been the most severe in almost every section of the country for the past ten years and if we are to have many more of these below zero days ere spring sets in, I fear even professing christians will be tempted to swear piously, of course. Joking aside, it cold, and the way the noses, finger ends and cars catch it is dreadful to contemplate the experience of the delights" is perfectly crushing. To keep as comfortable as possible, out door pedestrians, both male and female, are compelled to resort to all sorts of apparel and the exchange of the sex's "nxins is certainly amusing, taking down any former precedent. Borrowing of the women's shawls by the "lords of creation" is now so common that the custom is regarded as a fixed institution, and tills morning I actually saw a man with both hands encased in a lady's muff, (a huge man at that.) I must confess he looked a little sheepish, ns well ho might, and yet, perhaps before the season is over, muffs in the hands of the sterner sex will be just as common as the shawl now is upon their backs.

As to the fuir sex, so far as I can fee, the only part of our apparel that they have bor rowed is our boots although it is pretty broudly whispered that they have also donned the pants! I give you this, mind! only as a "whisper," which must suffice until I can suggest to Paul Pry tlie importance of examining into the matter at once. We are still without any tidings of the Pacific, now in her fifteenth day out. It has been stated in the papers that she was probably detained beyond her time for repairs, Scc, having experienced considerable damage on her last outward passage, but this is probably not so, as the agents here were advised, per Arabia, that she would leave on her regular day. It is somewhat remarkable that this same passage of tlie Pucific in '54 occupied fourteen days and twenty three hours, and in '55 fifteen days and three hours. Her trip in '56 promises to be of about the same average.

Meanwhile the Persia, that was to come here in seven days, is now in her twelfth day, and yet no tidings of her have been received. It's a very easy matter to brag, but fur more different ofttimes to make the brag good.

Bonford, counsel for pluintills, appeared and filed the sunn exceptions to the rulings of the court in each case, as he offered in the case tried vesterdav. and stated that he should, as the day before, leave the cases to the disposition of tlie court.
