03,000 to 40,000.
The above heads give fairly the result at
the late, or rather early, hour at which we
write. We have no time to give details. It
'does not become us to comment at length
upon the result. The Democrats seem to have
been entirely successful. The WILMOT Re
publicans have fallen far below their expecta
tions, whilellAuxunawr, the American can
didate for Governor, has run far ahead of his
anticipated vote. General
.PAorett's vote is
great.
Less interest than usual has been felt.* the
election, and the poll Is light, but everywhere
the relative Democratic strength has been
fully sustained,' and in some instances in
creased, as compared with the election of 1866.
The Legislature, from present indicatious, will
contain a very large majority of Democratic
members. We now give the returns as far as

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

There is in the town of Shelby, Orleans county,
says tho Medina Tribune, a more distressing ease
of disease and suffering than we supposed existed
on earth. Fleury Posaan,.a man forty-five yealeof
age, has been confined to his bed, and helpless
since ho was nineteen—twenty-six years. hia dis
ease is rheumatism, and most terribly has the poor
man suffered with its torturing deforming and rava
ges. His knee joints are dislocated, and so drawn
under as to form a perfect B. The ankle joints are
also dislocated and shockingly displaced. 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

this, the poor man has been rendered perfectly
blind by the soma disease. He lies upon his book,
hie arms folded across his breast, and is only bare

almost constant.

Untie specie payments.

an injunction obtained by one of its customers, and It
is presumed that the same course has been pursued with
regard to other banks. By this moans the penalty 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

memory. It was destroyed by the conflagration of
July, 1854, and all its traces have entirely disap-

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.

" To ye most Beautiful Ladye."—Sotue
body—a very celebrated and übiquitous character
b ie the way—has become smitten with the charms
o • the many fair ones who weekly congregate at
the church in Arch street, of which the Rev.
Charles Wadsworth is pastor. With a view of in
dulging a missitievous propensity, or the further
ing of an object of his own, the aforesaid somebody
deposited ou Saturday, at the post office, a neat
and stylish-looking note, addressed in a Fantle
tuno's handwriting. containing the following in
scription :

IVadsioorth's Chards, Philadelphia."
The mysterious billet deux has created quite a
sensation among the clerks of that department, as
it is no doubt destined to exercise among the fair
sea, for one of whom it is intended. The affair, so
far, is enveloped in mystery and gloom, and we
patiently await an explanation.

1997 and 1857.
[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:

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

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.

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.
