Fran Our Own Correspondent. VrmdcrblH's New Depot. New Yokk, Dec. 4, 18G9. In his project of erecting a new and immense depot on Fourth avenue, between Forty-second and Forty-fifth streets, Commodore Vandcrbllt has hit the idea of many a man who had not the means of embodying it. It is calculated that the new building will be finished in about one year's time, and it will give accommodation to all the trains on the Harlem Railroad, the New JJavcn Railroad, and the Hudson River and New York Central. Including local and express trains, about one hundred daily are run by these roads. All of them are to make their head quarters at this depot, which will connect with various car and stage lines carrying passengers down town and to the hotels. You can have some idea of the extent of the affair when I say that it is to be a Uttlj less than seven hundred feet lang and a little less than two hundred and fifty feet wide. A new street is to be cut along the east side of the building from Forty-second to Forty-fifth street, and sixty feet In width. Upon the new street the grand depot is to have fts principal frontage, - although the end facing on Forty-second street will furnish a handsome entrance by itself for the trains of the New Ilaven Road. Notwith standing the multiplicity of offices and entrances, however, the travellers will find themselves in a vast car house about one hun dred and twenty thousand feet square. A road is to be built to connect the Hudson Rlvej and Harlem roads at some point above Harlem, and a charter for a company to build such a road has already been granted. I pre sume but I do noUknow, and would not on any 1 account create the impression that I speak authoritatively that when the new depot is finished the Commodore will provido a free feed, with his usual liberality. If so, of course he will engage the services of Captain De Gorot, who is presumed fully to understand the palates of distinguished citizens in general and of news paper men In particular. t'ttslilone.. It is not often that I have anything to say in regard to the fashions, fur the simple reason that I know very little about them, and what ever I do write must come to me second-hand. Some very beautiful and expensive dresses yes terday came under my observation, however, and you shall hear what they were like. One carriage dress was of black silk made short and , trimmed with broad biases of velvet on the skirt. The sleeves were circular and largo and half formed the back of the garment. Another . one was of green silk, made en paitur, and very voluminously bunched. A third was a dinner dress of pink moire antique over a white satin petticoat. The sleeves were quite short, the trimmings of Valenciennes, the corsage low, aud amidst the laces of the skirt, in careless elaboration, was trailed a wild vine interstlced with roses. A fourth was of coral colored silk trimmed with point lace and valued at twenty-three hundred dollars. These arrivals were the very latest from the headquarters of fashion. It is understood that for the remainder ; of the winter Eugenie will issue no further bulletins. Rolled on n Bucket. Such were the mcaus applied for tho resusdta tion of Mr. Hugh McDcrmott, who a short time go arrived in this city from Bvotland. When lie first came here Mr. McDcrmott was a sober, Industrious, and happy man. He had a nice little wife in bonny Dundee, and hod come lther to provide a home for her. That bom he had fonnd In Indianapolis, and having found it, sent enough money to his wife to enable her to join him. She did so; he met her in this city, and the two spent all day and every day in hunt ing up materials for housekeeping. They pro ceeded very amicably until tho sixth day, when Mrs. McDermott was suddenly missing. If Mr. McDcrmott believed In anything It was his wife. It never occurred to him, In the dimmest shadow of suspicion, that she could prove unfaithful to him. At last, however, the truth flashed out; she had proved unfaithful, and ran away with some other man. Of course In this strait McDcrmott saw only one resource to get drunk and commit snicldc., He did the or.e, and prepared to do the other by throwing himself overboard from a Hoboken ferry boat. "Well, here goes I" were the last words ho was heard to exclaim, and tho next moment ho was In the water, whence ho was immediately fished. He was then taken into the ladles' cabin and rolled on a bucket until consciousness returned. Of course, upon reviving he was taken to tho nearest police station, a remedy for woes like his which, even in the most aggravated cases, hns never been known to fall. Ah ! woman, If I had the invention of a purgatory for you, it should be one that would never let you out. You have harassed man for too many thousand years already to deserve any temporary penance.

We quote from the Poll Mall Gazette the following article, by an intelligent corres pondent of that paper: The general public we strongly inclined to attribute all the manifestations of modern Radicalism to the great French Revolution. This is incorrect both as a question of time and origin. The role of France was here, as in almost everything else, simply that of a great popularizer; and tho .Revolution was itself a production, not a producer, of Radi calism. The Revolution would have been im possible, had not the tendencies both of re ligious and governmental Radicalism been largely diffused already amongst the French; whereas social .Radicalism is in ono sense prior, in the other posterior, to the Revolu tion, during which there were only a few attempts to advance what is now understood by socialistic or communistic reforms. Firstly, it is well known that there were two very distinct revolutions that of 'H'j and that of '1)3 in the former of which no com munistic attempts could have attained any popularity, for it was a revolution against authority only, not against individualism. Robespierre and Saint-Just were, indeed, strongly inclined towards communistic prin ciples; the "Fragments" of Saint-Just prove that he was a decided partisan of the "Agra rian Law;" but all this did not prevent the convention from decreeing capital punish ment for the simple proposal of introducing this law. All that was done in the way of attack on the principle of property consisted of a few desultory and partial measures issued under the desperate pressure of an armed mob. The first thoroughly communistio attempt was made under the Directory, and is known as the Conjuration de Babeuf. Yet even this atteiupt was but a coarse materialization of doctrines elaborated before the Revolution in Morelly's "Code de la Nature." Under the Consulate, the Empire, and the Restoration there was no display of communistic doctrines at all, and it is not till tho time of the July Revolution that we see them not only well established but forming three different schools, with disciples spread over the whole of Europe. The first and most popular of these was still the school of Babeuf, revived by one of his old adepts, Buonarotti, who suc ceeded in escaping prosecution, hid himself for many years in Switzerland aad Belgium, returned to France at the fall of the Bour bons, and established a seoret society called the "Democratic Carbonari," where thousands of working men listened to the descendant of the celebrated Florentine master. This school, although less known now, was the most influential then, for it acted immedi ately on the mass of the people; and France, having at that time a great number of German working men, communi cated to them, through Buonarotti, the first notions which produced afterwards the so-called Social-Democrat movement in Ger many. The two other schools were those of Saint Simon and Charles Fourier. The Conjuration of Babeuf was not only the first, but the only tolerably consistent modern attempt at social reform in France. None of the subsequent French Socialists diner substantially from Babeuf, while the less coarse an J seemingly more elaborated forms in which they cost their doctrines make them -only less intelligible and less practi cable, not less communistio. Some of them endeavor to repudiate the name of Commu nists, and to gain for themselves what is thought the less objectionable name of Social ists; but none of them, except Fourier, have a right to do so, as their doctrines equally lead to the abolition of individual property. On the other hand, the doctrines of Babeuf are highly interesting as showing the stagnancy of Communism; its arguments, and even the forms of their expression, differing only very slightly over a period of several hundreds of years. I have intentionally quoted in my second letter a few lines from the doctrines of the Taborites to enable the reader to compare them with doctrines which ar fourienturies older, and have been displayed in the "Mani- feste des F.garu" and other documents refer ring to the Conjuration of Babeuf. "Men are equal. . . . We propose henceforth to" live and die equal as we we.atxirnj we want real equality or death. . . .' Wo gave everything for It ; nou ennsrtifnfis a aire table raas jxmr turn en tenir a tile teute. l'ertih all the arts, If U Is necessary, to perpetuate eqnallty amongst us. . . . Tho agra rlan law was but a sudden desire of a few unprinci pled soldiers, and of quttque peupladt moved by their Instinct rather thau liy their reason. We claim something more sublime and more equitable: le bten rovivivn ou la eommunante dr bime. . . . The Kill nelcngs to nobody In particular. Its fruit be long to all. We cannot longer suffer that the great majority of men should work aud sweat In the ser vice and for the pleasure of a small minority. . . . . It there be no longer any other dlirere.nce be tween human beings than that of age and sex. As all have the same faculties and tho same needs, there must be for all tho raino education and the snme food. They aro contented with the same sun and air; why, then, should not the same portion and the same quality of food be sufficient for each of them?. . . The aim of this Insurrection Is to re-establish liberty, equality, aud the general happlneHS (bonlienr rom tn). . . . Kvery opposition to the Insurrection will be immediately quelled by force, and opponents exterminated. . . . The people will rest only when the destruction of tyrannlo government Is completed. ... At the end of tho Insurrection, the poor cltlKcns who are now fcadly lodged shall not return to their lodgings. All that is wanted to furnish aver ainanre the lodgings of the san etiinttn shall be taken from tho rich. . . . Tho (treat nntlonal community keeps all its member danx un emle ft lumnrte mrdtorrite. . . . All the members of the community shull labour In agriculture of some useful art according to Individual capacities. . . . The con munity guarantees to each of Its members a healthy, commodious, and cleanly furnished lodging; working as well as holiday dresses, linen and woollen, according to tho national costume; washing, light, and fuel; sufficient quantity of food in bread, beef, poultry, Ish, eggs, butter ami oil, ivlno and other drinks, according to tho different habits of the provinces: vegetables, ad frulU.sploos, and all other things dont la reunion roitntitiui vne mrdion eetrvnaU ainanre; and Unally medical attend ance." To this must be added that the whole conn try was to be divided into zones for different kinds of culture; that no communication with foreign countries was to be allowed; that elected magistrates were to preside over the collection as well as the distribution of all national products; and that the authori ties were to have full means for keeping the entire country under the new regime by the simple expedient of withholding provisions from refractory districts. Whatever we may think of the wisdom or the practicability of this social scheme, scarcely anybody will deny ito intelligibility; and this must be accounted a great merit, for no subsequent school could claim anything of the kind. Saint Simon, for instance, started from the point of view that men ought to love one another; that a new religion is to direct people towards improvement; that they must have a "living law in the person of a Fope of humanity; that the whole of society is to be divided into savants, artistes, and in dustriels, whose works are to be remunerated on the principle, "To each according to his capacity, to each capacity according to its works.' And the whole theory is entangled in such a maze of pagan mysticism and cere monial that no normal mind could ever real ize to itself tho true sense of a doctrine the interpretation of which finally led to a schism between its two representatives, Enfantin and Bnzard. The founder of another not less colobrated school, Charles Fourier, discovered in man kind a "passionate attraction" which regu lates the social world, like the principle of attraction which governs the physical world. The first thing then was to give full play U all human passions, otherwise the law of attraction could not act freely. These pas sions cannot be wrong in themselves, for they come from God; if they are wrong now it is only through the hampering influence of ex isting sociul arrangements. On this Drinciolo of attraction people were to unite themselves in groups of seven or nine members, every twenty-four to thirty-two groups forming a series, which had again to combine them selves into phalanijes consisting of 1500 1800 members. The phalange was to live in a phahinstere, where everything was to be in common except the lodging of each family. The remuneration of work was so calculated as to give 4-lL'ths of the pro ducts to capital, .r-12ths to labor, and 3-12thsto talent, useful work being always more highly rated than the ornamental and the ploasing. The great artistes, however, the most cele brated industriels, and the most illustrious savants were not to bo included in this scale of remuneration. They had to receive their re ward in what was to be established as the great metropolis of the world, whore the representa tives of all the phalanges, amounting to some thing like half a million, had to assemble. Senseless sa the foundation of this scheme will appear to En ghsh minds, it must be said that in its details the system of Fourier gives a few practical hints which may possibly be adopted some day in France, especially as regards the public education of children and associated cultivation of minutely divided land. The greatest merit, however, of Fourier, as well as of his chief follower, M. Victor Conside rant, was that they never proposed to employ in the advocacy of their doctrines any other means than a peaceful propaganda; and that is, perhaps, one of the reasons why certain traces of Fourier's doctrines remain still alive in Europe as well as in America without hav ing ever injured any of the interests of so ciety at large. These are the most important French schools, the secondary ones being those of MM. Cabet, Leroux, and Louis Blanc. It would tire the reader to enter into greater de tails respecting theories which vary but slightly from those already mentioned. M. I'ierre Leroux, for instance, introduces as a basis of society the triade, which consists of three human beings representing respectively la sensation, le sentiment, andia eonnaissance. This triade underlies everything, from the simple atelier np to the Assemblee Nationale. The formula of remuneration is also triple: "A chacun suivant sa capacite, a chaonn suivant son travail, a chacun suivant ses be soms." A development of this arrangement may be found by those whom it interests in the, "Projet dej Constitution Democratique et Sociale. The doctrines of M. Cabet are expounded in his "Voyage en Icorie," which is simply an imitation of the work of Sir Thomas More. The author himself acknow ledges his prototype, and says he selected the form of romance as more seductive to women, who are always the best medium for the diffu sion of popular notions; and, the better to act upon the female mind, he changes the rude seaman of the "Utopia" into a most at tractive English lord travelling in the Icarian Republic, the organization of which is the ideal of M. Cabet. The merit of this system consists, as in the case of Babeuf, in its simplicity. The most radical commun ism is expounded in a way perfectly intelligi ble to everybody. The author does not pre tend to any innovations, and only suggests in another work that as regards the practical adaptation of his system certain transitory steps are advisable because an attempt at too abrupt a change would easily provoke great difficulties. Having failed to arrive in 1848 at an understanding with the Provisional Govern ment as well as with the reorle. M. Cabet star tedwith a few disciples to Amerioa, where his system was to be put into practice, and where H expeneneea a lauure tar ueyonu mat wnieu there beiej tne, theories of Oweq ft tourior Of M. Lonis Illanc. who is still alive an;! living in this country, I hesitate to express any personal opinion. The reader may find his theory in a littlo book called "Orga nisation on Travail." and a still more com pact exposition of the foundation of this tlicoiy is to be found on page 100 of his "His torical llevelations" inscribed to Lord Nor nianby. His formula is. in opposition to his predecessor, "From every man according to his faculties; to every man (within the limits ol tne resources or the community) according to his wants." Many objected that by this formula the most gifted men would be foroed to upend the wholo of their life in supporting incspables, and even idiots; but still the theory had a considerable success amongst Parisian workingmen some twenty years ago. Yet the opinion of thinking men of his own country was opposed to it. Here is the opi nion of one of them:- 'M. Blanc would be greatly surprised If anr nnn were to phow him tho perpetual mixture he makes In his book of the most opposite nrinelnles of antlio. rlty and right, of properly and commnnlsin. of aristocracy and equality, of labor and capital, of In- icreBi du cn-ueuii, i imeny ana dictatorship, of free Inquiry and religions faith. M. Dunn . nn..i.u wt. wiu a ui (iuiuin:rilr J ttliu soclallFro, one degree lower than the republic, two degrees under M. Barrot, three under M. Thiers, is notwithstanding all he .may say and do a de scendant In the fourth generation of M. Oul.ot, a doctrinaire. -rouuuou, -njaiumw ae contradic tions Kconomlques." Vol. I, 220.) There exiHts amoncHt Frenchman a coiivia- tion of some special logical qualification of the French mind, a conviction which is fully shared by M. Louis Blanc, and which he has lately made in the Temps a basis of a criti- cii-ru of a leading article of the Pull MtUl Uttzftte. This conviction seoms not to bo generally shared by Englishmen, who sup pose that the amount of logical power is pretty equal amongst equally civilized people. But, at all events, nobody who has read the works of Proudhon will deny to him tho pos session of this power in the high degree claimed by lenchmen in gonernl. And those who have not read his work should do so. or at least the one just quoted. It is not alwnys easy reading, for Proudhon is full of tier man philosophy, and more especially of Hegel; but nowhere else can tate reader find better exposition and refutation of communism; and this not by a defender of existing social arrangements, but by a man who declared property to be robbery. He attacks the present state of things, but he despises the innovators. "Les so jets formes par les soins du communtsme n'auront plus besoln de purler, de pcn.ser nl d'agir; ce seront des h nitres attachees cote a cote, sans a cuv ue ni scniuneni, sur le rocner . . . ue la fraternlte. ...

Jxiln de inoi, communLstes! votre presence m'est nne puanteur, ut votrc vue me degoute." Ibid, ol. II, p. 1201-271. Proudhon should certainly be one of the first to be considered in reviewing modern radicals; but I abstain because, in the first place, I hold it nn offense to his memory to speak of him, in a few lines, in a oonntry where he is almost unknown; and, in the second place, because the whole work of his life was one of criticism, not one of organiza tion or reconstruction of society. And it is only this last category of radicals which I had in view in these letters. Le relit Journal gives some particulars of the quantity of meat consumed in Paris through out the year. It averages seventy-live kilo grammes a year to each inhabitant. In this tigore neither i poultry, pork, game, nor even horee-tlesh (tlic sale of which is Increasing) is included. The French departments chlelly sup ply this large demand, but the meat passes through a number of Intermediate hands before reaching tho butchers, so that tho price is very high. In consequence ot this a society has been formed which is to make purchases at tho centres of production. It will bring the cattle to the great market of La Villette, and when they are (slaughtered it will retail the meat at counters established lu different parts of Paris. It expects on the lowest calculation a nroflt of eight million francs, while selling the meat to families several centimes cheapor than tho usual quotation. MARINE TELEGRAPH.
