FASHIONO'BoRAcTOBER [Fria, Le Rollet.l As all our fashiontibles are now at the sca-side, if we Weald ascertain the iittode we Must follow theta to 'their ratriatis;, aruleveu Then we shall have some diffmulty in deciding; alit is well known that fashion is far less arbitrary at these plasm than in Paris or London. The first thing we notice is, that hats are almost exclusively worn, although groat variety exists In the shades and trimmings. The bateliero is very largo and quite round, and is suitable for children. The Clarence is smaller and slightly raised at the sides, edged with a lace forming a fall,' and trimmed with one or two feath ers, fastened in front under a how of ribbon, and trained round the crown. The mousquetaire Is the greatest favorite. It is smaller than either of the others, and when trimmed with a lace fall and ribbons, or feathers, is very elegant and generally becoming. Quilting dresses are much and "well work." This material is very suitable for the sae-side, being rather heavy; and it has been brought to such perfection,both in texture and design, that d it makes at e same time an elegant and useful dress. • - With 'a colored quilting robe a white burnous may be worn, while over n white one a. Tunisian shawl aux mills contours, has a very good awe. We have soon worn by some ladies a kind of loose paletot, of ooutil or nankin, edged with a bright color or with plaid. Tho effeot is very pretty. It may be worn , over the dress or, in very warm weather, with a shirt only, in which ease a plaited ohemieette with long sleeves, plain collar, and turned-back wife, has a very good effect. At a resent sailing match, which was witnessed by a large crowd of fashionables, wo noticed seve ral superb toilettes. Among them was a dress of brown taffetas, with broad stripes round the skirt of lilac and black chinees. The body was buttoned in front and pointed behind and before. Over this was a black hoe shawl with a deepfrill The bon net was composed of white crape over lilac silk; the front and the curtain were edged with narrow black lace, as was a broad lilac ribbon, placed In the form of a fanchon. On the side of the front and inside were large boqueta of hardens d'or. Another was a muslin, in small checks and spotted, having seven flounces, with .a ribbon in the hems. A rico straw bonnet, trimmed with a ribbon, a long feather Moss the front, and a largo black mantle, eempletOr the simple yet graceful toilette. One which attraoted muohadiniration wet; a dress of taffetas in ()becks of black and white, (amid an inch square. On each side of the skirt was a broad band of green, black, and white plaid, soolloped and fringed. The body was high, buttoned and or namented to match the trimming on the skirt, and finished by a - plaid sash, tied in a bow behind. Tho bonnet was white crape, drawn op pink rib bbns, and trimmed with a largo tuft of pink prim. roses. A small wreath of the same flowers surround ed the Bropress fall which hang over the bonnet. Wo observed even hero a quilting dross embroid ered in large dots with coral-colored wool. Round the bottom and up the skirt, in spaces of about ten inches, was a light pattern in terel braid. The hody was high, without basques, and buttoned with soral buttons. The sleeve was in large flat plaits from the armhole, held by buttons just above the elbow, whence it hung in a pagoda. With this was worn a walloped muslin mantle, and a round drab straw hat, trimmed with a feather and ribbon of the same color, and deep black lace round the edge. We must describe one more, which, although rather original, had a good effect. The dross was white muslin, over which was a white China crape shawl. The lower point was trimmed with a broad black lace, and the nppor one was surrounded by a deep white fringe, mixed with black chenille. The bonnet was white tulle, trimmed with bleak lace and velvet. The bodies of dresses are now generally worn high ; but low bodies are also seen, and, of course, in full dress are always adopted. Bretalles are still worn with them. Rather a new style of this ornament has lately appeared. It is made of broad velvet, arranged almostsquare from the shoulders, and fastened to a band at the waist. Three bands of the same velvet, or seven very narrow, aro placed across the front and bank; a buckle is placed at the waist, both before and behind, from which two ends of velvet hang on the skirt. This has a very pretty attest, and may be worn with several dresses withont any other trimming. Double skirts, as well as flounces, still continue to be mush worn. The most favorite trimming for the double skid le a handsome fringe placed on the edge of the topper skirt only. Indeed, fringe will be very much adopted this winter as a trimming,not only for dresses, but also for man tles and the varieties of basquines and paiotots now worn. An elegant fringe we have notioed wee formed by a beading of Venetian guipure, and in the fringe were tinsad balls and long beads of stbel. Another bad i narroxr pion heading, striped with velvet, the fringe bong beplacod by light hanging fuchsias, composed of Mali satin. The head of flower was formed of long Steel beads, and the middle by a ball of satin, and a steel bead below it. ' Piohus are still worn, with but little variety. The Bohn Oberon is a slight alteration of the fiebu Antoinette; the ends are shorter, and finish at tho sides by bows The sleeves are also shorter, out square, and open to the front of the elbow, whore they are ornamented with bows The fiebu Delila is composed of white muslin or tolls. It reaches only to the top of a low r bodied dress, and is exolusively worn with those bodies that aro ant square; it is covered by vor i f narrow velvets, placed a little more than an Ina apart— the ends being left hanging beyond the 4 go of the fiehu, forming a kind of fringe. The Grecques sleeves are trimmed to match, and edged with a lace placed under the ends of velvet. The throat is also trimmed with lace. The - shoW-rooms of our florists speak plainly of autumn. 7;o the delicate tintsof the summer flow ers are in:Weeding tho rioh and bright , tints of the autumn, iv wreaths orb onnets of velvet 4 flowers, mixed with loaves of gold-brown, which have Such an elegant appearance, and aro so becoming. The most ohritratng novelties aro being prepared as trimmings for bonnets coiffures, and robes. For the tatter, wp pits amontst others a dress of white brocade pith couhie s worked by the band In baguets of flowers. he upper shirt was trimmed with willies of shaded roses ontrolitcees. the colors of whiott were beautifully shown up by the doh groan and brown kayos which shone as if receiving the last rays of the setting sun. A similar wreath formed the bartho, entirely covering the sleeves. The coiffure was composed (besides the roses and leaves) of lilies of the valley and corn care in diamonds. -Another trimming, intended for a lemon-colored taffetas, was composed of boquets of mulberries, mixed with fuchsias, small sprays ofjessamine, and brown gram. These boquets wore exquisitely ele gant, and destined to be placed in threes on the top skirt, falling gracefully over the bouillonne organza with whighoclopeilirt Wal3 trimmed. The IMMO boquets were plased on the sleeves, falling over the arms. For the coiffure was tbe time qrtdment, fastened with a bow of ribbon placed very backward on the head. A trimming not lees pretty was composed of wreaths of snowberrias placed round two skirts of pink crape, edged with white blond, and drawn up in drapery by bonnets of the same flower. At the bottom of the third skirt were two white ruches of blonds, separated by a wreath to match those on the other skirts. Coiffure.—Very long wreaths of enowberries placed at each side of the bandana, falling over the shoulders. We must wait the return of our "fashionables be fore we can hope to see anything decidedly novel in bonnets. Al the present season nothing can be prettier than thor of rice straw, trimmed with small bunches of feathers at the sides i some falling over the curtain, and others over the front, mixed gracefully with blonde and copes of ribbon round the face. 'Others have as a trimming a long white feather fixed on the aide by a bow of straw, edged with blonde; and carried across the Inuit, falling over the curtain, which is covered with wide blonde. rn the cap, bows of straw, edged with blonde mixed with fuchsias and heath. The color maize continues to be very fashion able. Straw bonnets trimmed with maize ribbon and black are very pretty and becoming. An elegant Leghorn bonnet was trimmed round the front with a wide black lace falling over the hair, and carried acrow the curtain; this wee surmounted by a wreath of cherries. White taffe tas strings, trimmed with black velvet. Blonde cap, with black palvet bows and bunches of oberries White taffetas bonnets havo frequently a wide band of bright color round the front and curtain. Tho prettiost trimming for these bonnets is a long feather of the same color as the edge, fallieg gracefully tl over the shoulder. The strings are at ways of white taffetas, edged to match. Crape is still much worn, but It is frequently covered with a light black lace, which gives every elegant appearance to them. Capotes of crepe or silk are also increasing in favor; but the fashion in this important artiols of dress will, we doubt not, ho more decided next month. Black lace mantles and shawls are more in favor than ever, and will, we believe, bo much used in evening dress ,this winter. particularly if light colored satins should regain the favor they once obtained, and which some of our best modistes con fidently expdct • The late rains RI France have done immense service to the grapes, whiSib aro rapidly advancing to maturity.' It is many years sumo the grapes wore of midi good quality as at present. The vin tage commenced early m September.

Ibis feet are drawn round to one side, and the toes twisted into all conceivable shapes. In fact, the terrible disease has 'scarcely left a limb, &joint. or a mem ber of the body undeformed.

Mr. Fosm, from the Committee or Ways and Means, reported Senate bill relative to the Charuberstourg, Greencastle and 'Hagerstown Unread; which was read throe times and passed. Mr. ETSTEB moved to proceed to the consideration of dente bill for the better security of laborers, mechanics and others in certain companies; which was agreed to. Mr. E. stated that the bill was calculated to give em ployment to a large number of men, who were willing to labor during the winter for part •of their pay, pro vided the balance was secured to them. The employers could not give them absolute security, because their property was already had up by mortgages and judg ments which, it sued out, would strip the laborer of the amount due him. The bill authorized the com panies employing the men, to execute a lien upon their wagons, teams, horses, mules, cars, carte, boats, equip. ments, engines, tools, and machinery used in conduct ing their business, to be held by a trustee or trustees until such debts were fully discharged by the sale there. of or otherwise. • • . By this means the laborers would be secured, and the employers would also be able to go on.

It was destroyed by the conflagration of July, 1854, and all its traces have entirely disap- peared. The building, as most of our readers will remember, was erected for the accommodation of Peale's Museum and of Mr. Nathan Dunn's splendid collection of Chinese curiosities and illus trations of life among the Celestials. The Peale collection occupied the Splendid hall in the second story, and the Chinese Museum was located in the scarcely leas magnificent apartment on the first floor, Mr. Dunn collection attracted crowds of visitors for a time; but as the novelty wore off, lublic patronage followed its example, and the col ection, to save its proprietor from constant loss, was taken to England, and there sold finally. Peale's Museum made a desperate struggle for ex istence in the new building, bat after a series of financial troubles, in which the sheriff figured con spicuously, the whole concern was brought to the hammer, and the collection of the wonders of nature and of art, of which Philadelphia was once so proud, was scattered far and wide. The buildings shared the fate of its contents, and it was finally sold to Mr. 1. B. Parker. After the collections for which the building had been erected were scattered, the concern had a very diversified existence. Shilling aonearts, monster halls, and ethiopian serenaders bad their era in the building, and they were followed by the exhi bitten of the Franklin Institute, horticultural shows, and mass meetings. The immense size of the building fitted it specially for many pur poses which required much apace, and at the time of its destruction it was considered absolutely in dispensable to the city. We remember well the night when it was wrapped in flames, and the expressions of regret that came from thousands who were intently viewing the pro gress of the devouring element. With many the impressions of that terrible night are ineffaceable. After the_present generation, the history of the Chinese Museum, end the ill-fated National Theatre, which adjoined it on the north, will only be preserved in our local records. We aineerely irust that he who philosophises over the site fifty tears hence will have a cheering career of pros- Frity to record of the enterprise which is now in rogress.

[Front the Boston Post.] Some still go back to the suspension of 1837, and say that the cases are, at bottom. analogous, and that what then was unavoidable is necessary now. We have remarked at same length on the facts that prove them not to be. Take an illustration that comes home to oar present condition as to specie—one drawn from the state of the ex changes. Nearly a fortnight ago we remarked that in place of the millions of foreign indebted ness, and of the ruinous drain of specie out of the country. of 1837, the rate is such of 1857 that it • must bring specie from abroad. Look - at ex- ohange to-day !Itis at such a rate as to allow a margin of profit to import specie from Europe of between net and nine per cent ; the trade is each that specie must come; and it is safe to pre-- diet that heavy imports can begin within thirty days, while our own product is pouring in constant ly from California. Need we point to the difference between such a state of things and the state that. existed at the date of the 1637 suspension? Then oar exchanges were against us as to specie, and It was flowing out of the banks and out of the country. But look at this alleged analogy in a point of view in which we have not considered it. The suspension Of 1837 took place at a time when our crops were all in—had been all used up. Indeed, all through the South the planters had even pledged the crops not yet sown—those of 1838—(or mean* to meet their engagemente. Let 03 recall a fact or two. Here is a citation from a New Cr eams paper of 1837—just before the suspension : "New Orleans, April 5, 1837. Three 'hundred bales of good quality cotton were bought for re mittance to Liverpool, on Tuesday. for Bevan cents_ To-day we hear Of several lots being offered at aiz cents. In Hinds county, Mississippi, more than. a thousand suits hare been brought." To sheer the state of the South, we take the following' from the Mississippian, printed at Jackson, the seat of Government: "Nearly three millions are to be recovered in the three counties of Hinds, Madison, and Yazoo, and proportionally in other counties of the State, by the approaching terms of their respective courts." And the West was as bad off as the South. In fact, crops there had fail ed, and up to the very day of the 1837 suspension we were increasing out indebtedness to Europe by importing wheat. A table of these importations is before us, down to April 19, a few days before the general suspension. This is no less curious than it IS valuable: En land January 000. rebrr.ary. March.

Such was the condition of the country. as to. crops and specie balances, in 1837. Then, by the. natural course of trade specie was going abroad; going abroad, too, to settle balances occasioned by commercial transactions—to pay for the flood of wheat that was pouring in upon us_ The suspen ion took place in May. Now look at the state of things to-day herr ow October, before the crops haw come to etorirt. These crops are enormous; they will soon be avail able; they must go forward; and they are what the foreigner cannot do without. We can stop foreign Importations at any moment, and the in dications are that they are pretty effectually stopped for the present; but the foveigmer tunekoh stop buying of us. Cotton mast gn forward; and this article at this moment—croakers to .the cost trery notwithstanding—is just as good, if not bet ter than so much specie. Thu grand surplus at the West is waiting to pay e'ostern indebtedness; and this will soon set the sr:male of trade in mo tion. Here are recuperative elements, all soon to be available, which bear no analogy whatever with their condition in 1337, and which, too. are be yond the reach or the furious bulls and bean of tie stock bawd; and even the railroads. which bave been wain cause of the present panto, are tO ba a meat powerful instrumentality to aid the work, of recuperation; for along these highways are oar varied products destined to flow to their natural machete, with a Warily unknown before- Whoerer brings these crops from the granaries of the West to the markets of the East will do a public service; and when here, they will come in aid of the Struggling mercantile community_ These are the ekeering tidings in the business horizon. They may not quite yet justify the cry of LAND Ho ! They are enough, however, to warrant the concluston, that if the ship can be kept afloat a little longer she will reach a safe harbor. New York Hotels and BeardimpHouses. A . grumbling correspondent of the Boston Tran script utters the following Jeremiad on the mode allying in New York : . " Why any rational person, whose business, social lies, or vena l tastes do not oblige him to lire in an American city, prefers such a residence to the country, it is difficult to !sty, provided be has the means to consult inclination. That a eta dent, a man of ppleasure, an artist, or plinosophen should cheerfully snake a sacrifice in order to lire in Paris, Borne, or London, is natural, teems of the public means of knowledge and enjoyment there provided. But take the case of a gentle men of moderate income, returning to New York after a summer among the moentains, or by the Sea shore; how and where is he to live? The hotels are crowded and expensive to a degree en tirely disproportioned to the comfort they yield, Three or four dollars a day for the privilege of climbing to the fifth story, and eating an elaborate dinner, where nearly every dish is ' made,' as it is Called, is paying too dear for one's whistle; be is never sore of a piece of tender sirloin or first-rats mutton, and has to dwell either in a crowd too promiscuous to be social, or in a room twelve feet by sixteen, with a wash-stand, spittoon, and Bible for companions. All is show, programme, flue—with little snug comfort, and no home •feeling. "As to. bonding-houses, their physiology has been recorded—the objections to them are patent; with few exceptions they are headquarters of slut tishness, gossip, and discomfort. As to lodgings, filch as one can find so easily in Lon Jon and Pena —those who let them here in an eligible neighbor hood, ask enough for two rooms to pay for the en tire rent of the home, and are so little to be relied on for attendance and the care of property, that the luxury of a private servant is almost indispen sable. The enormous price of provisions and rents make housekeeping beyond the means of 1 . ..r" . 1 . me who could afford to lire here or in Boston twenty years ago. One consequence of this state of things to that hundreds annually migrate to the suburban country, or hs the old citiesof Germany and Italy, while another class are pushed, as it were, into the far West. "There is actually no provision in oar large cities, and especially here, for that large and most desirable species who hare moderate means and conservative habits, mental resources and culti vated tastes, and lire on salaries or limited in comes. Thousands of such are to be found in the provineial towns of England, in the teeth of France, in Rome and Edinburgh, and among theist are some of the brightest ornaments ce society, and the most worthy of men and citizens. It seems as if the only very rich, the very poor, and the very enterprising and successful had any vantage ground and abiding.plae• in this great country ; the agricultural emigrant lam well on the prune, and the large capitalist tires luxuriously in the Fifth avenue ; but those between—the men who patiently and honorably labor in a legitimate way and with but moderate means, whose wins iS to sat* annually somewhat as a legacy for their children, who desire to live decently, prudently and con scientiously—can scarcely find a home amid the reckless money-seekers and ostentatious million aires of. American cities. These • pan ics' and • revuls ions' we groan about are the natural con sequence of such unequalired economies." The American Corvette Plymouth at South amain*. [From the London Nees .1 There is now lying at Southampton a linited States corvette, called the Plymouth She iv COM' Mandell by Captain Dalgren, the inventor of tho se enormous gnus with which the American men-of war are now armed, and which, in the opinion of some; will revolutionize naval warfare, as ships will be destroyed before they can come near each other. A pivot gun which is on board the Plymouth has a 11-inch bore. There are in all Ave large guns on board, and the object of the' Plymouth's emits is to enable Captain Dalgren to make some experiments in sea-firing. Although the machinery for working these guns is very per fect and beautiful, yet the labor of firing each heavy ordnance is severe. There are some pretty boat howitzers on board the Plymouth, which are remarkable for the rapidity with which they can be fired, and the facility with which they can be used on boats, or mounted on carriages on shore_ The boarding implements and small arms, such as tomahawks, swords., pistols that can be converted into carbines, short carbines that are loaded at the breech, and have the properties of the Minis rifle, are well worth inspection, all having some new and useful property. One of the curious proper ties of the Dalgren heavy gun is the singularly mellow sound that accompanies its discharge. The volume of sound which it causes is enormous, but the sound is not of that ringing and ear-split ting quality which usually accompanies hear" ordnance. The Plymouth is pierced for 22 guns. Her full complement of men is 220. Her crew, however, at present amounts to only 110 men. She is a wooden ship of enormous strength, her timbers being far heavier than those of Englials. men-of-war. The courts in the interior of New York State are very severe on all who violate the license law At a session of the Circuit Court, at the court-house in Watertown, last week, J edge Allen presiding, there were three trials for violation of the license law—the selling beer at two saloons and a tavern—at neither of which plaits they were licensed to do so. The Judge held beer to be among the "intoxicating drinks" proscribed by the law. George Ludlow was mulcted in the tam of four hundred dollars Franklin P. Carter' wo hundred dollars, and S. P. Hutfstater one hundred dollars—at the rate of fifty dollars for each °tenet proved against them.
