CITY ITEMS. Millinery Opening Day- If not from time Immemorial, for some years at least, *tbe first Thursday in April has been associated in the - minds of all bonnet-wearing humanity hereabouts, with Spring opening of fasktoßAKte fiUMfiiry. Of all days iu the memory of that venerable personage, the oldest in habitant, yesterday was fht day for such atf occasion. 'The weather was delightful, and he must have been a callous observer indeed, whoso fancy was not pleased by the life and gaiety presented in our street;, At fi& early hjiir the tide of beauty and fashion commenced flowing in upon the various millinery establishments of our city. The displays made by the latter were, as a whole, highly •creditable. Those of the following houses we may desig nate as particularly attractive: Mrs. M A. King’s, for -3Dorly Rt No. 27 Sd&th Second- Htieei, now at No. 1020 Chestnut street; that by the Misses O’Brien, No. 914 Chestnut street; Miss S. T. Morgan’s, No. 40S Arch street: MrB. Mt-A. Klnnear’s, No. 1208 Chestnut street and Mrs. H. Wright’s, at No. 137 Pine street. Of course, the'popular oldjhouso of Wood. & Gary, {Tor -merly Lincoln, "Wood, A Nichols,) at No. 725 Chestnut street, figured conspicuously in the general eclat. The - preparations of this firm for the “ ovent ” had evidently bees made on the grandest scale. Their ctpacious Be iftll root*—ihe first floor of their haudeome business odi • flee—wna profusely, though tastefully, decorated with fa ■Sluonalite headgear, and as tho morning progressed, by some lawmore readily appreciated than explained, it bo • came the grand eddying centre for the ladies who bad turned out for the day. For two hours tho throng in tlitir rooms increased, attaining its climax at high noon. Just about then we tried to gain a professional glimpse of what was going on inside; but for reasons which it might seem uagallant in us to give, the effort did not result in more than a tip-toe glance from the payment, The fart is, it w0u1d,77/sf ihen have required something of a reportorial myth to have made a round of inspection • among that throng of admiring, chattering, bustling cri noline. Between one and two, however, through the • courteous assistance of a member of the boose, we were fcnirtrted to ifesort our prerogative is a pftMteal way, the crowd—if the ladies will excuse that epithet—having suf ficiently subsided to afford us reasonable facilities for -seeing the «* opening.” It was a mo3t beautiful display. To give a minute description would consume more time tuid space than we luvre at our disposal to derote to it, however agretable eucha task might be, in these times of wholesale rebellion and local disasters | As, however, the ladies will expect us to say something upon a darling theme, and as this ii our leading repre sentative house, we cannot refrain uoticio# a tew special ties that wore objects of admiration par ezcellancij where all was admired. Prominent among tliese was an •exquisite French chapeau, trimmed with a fawn-colored ostrich feather, and a Shirring f own tho face, of silk corresponding in shade, the crown and cape being en riched with a pure white lace of the most costly quality. Handsome bandeaux fell with the strings, and the face was trimmed with r,n artistically.arranged mixture of plain thole, purple ribbon, and yellow pansie blended with scarlet, making, upou the whole, what wi*l probably he voted by better critics than we are, as the choicest novelty- of the season in the way of a spring bonnet. Trimmed Straws were exhibited in great variety, and ■were much admired. The prevailing style seems to be a lofty front* with full.face trimmings fit tho top, inside •aud out, and the sideß plain. Among their French hats we noticed several novelties of superior tuste, of which there are to be no duplicates this season. TheyJaine ■coloreJ trimming* though a novelty* was not received with much favor, From tho comment* which we heaid made upon it, the introduction cf ibis color this Heason will noth©a success. In ChildrenV goods a variety of •pretty new things were exhibited, although this, we learn, was but incidental, as their spocial opening of children's liats will be given later in the season. In short, ever) stand, and case, and pedestal received "its share of criticism, which was, in the main, lavish of pfftise. TbR considering whence it came, tho ton and feather of our city fashionablea,/is no small compliment to the taste of the proprietors and the ladies to whom tfbe getting up of the display was chiefly entrusted, at the head ol whom is Madame May, who, we believe, has the -eminence in the millinery art of * l reigning without a rival/* Bid space permit, we might gratify our lady readers, who may have been prevented from attend ing- the opening, with a passing allusion to their lines of French chip and new styles of Shirred bon nets. The latter must, however, be seen to bo ap preciated. The Shirred bonnet, so far as the name •is cotir?r2.ed, Is as old as our grandmothers, at least, but it has boon left to tho ingenuity of Mamh Wood Jk OAry to rejuvenate it, and mako it really one of the most taste ful and common-sense bonnets of the present season. They were displayed in solid-colored silks, of various shades, and trimmed with marked good taste* designed espre: sly for spring* wear* In trim mod straw bonnets, as already intimated, even more than the usual variety of this house is tliiß season presented, embracing a mm* ■ber of designs which we have nowhere else eeeu ia our -perambulations among the faebious. Upon the whole, wf are not mistaken in announcing the millinery opening of Mes&Ts.,Woo« A Cary* No. 725 Chestnut street, yes torday. ub the bent attended, and, in all respects, tho most successful ever witnessed in this city. ■The Rev. Mr. Steele’s Lecture oil “ The Siege of JLouilauderryJ l AccoToitig to previous announcement, ihe Rev. David SU-fle ; of Ihifl city, repeated his lecture on “ The Siege of Londonderry,” at Concert nail, last evening, the pro ceeds of wnich were for the beuedt of the sick and wounded eddies in our hospitals. His audience was large, the butt having Lesu nearly filled; and the eto /jiunt manner in which the lecturer treated his heroic •theme was received with frequent applause. He was in troduced by George H. Smart, Esq. The Uvßperate assault on the 2Ut of April, 1659, made under Certain Blnrcay, vr»s luseulouriy and Aptly com pared to the daring feats of Hector, immortalized in Homer’s verse, portions of which were recited with much spirit by the lecturer. The various charges against the city were delineated in vbat may be cal ed heroic *ro&6 T in which the endurance by 4 fomino, and all the •imaginable horrors of a protracted siege, to which the Londonderrians were subjected, Were graphically de picted. All this but stimulated the garrison and. citizens to maintain their position, even to the death, until at last the approaching fleet of relief hove in sight, and, in due time, after a desperate resistance, the enemy retired Horn bei.eath the walls. The garrison during the siege had .fceep reduced from seventeen hundred to three hiudred. The lecturer’s remarks upon tl e subsequent history of LoflfcwKterry—'which, he said, hail been to the Protest- •anliism of Ireland what Marathon had been to th 9 jfi'tboniaue—■were interesting and appropriate, and the practical lestons drawn from that contest were exceed ingly opportune. It had demonstrated most eloquently the maxim, ‘-'ln Union is strength ” The grand secret AT«rMfßautanC?wid final victory wa3annnM. teiirig in God. It w*3 3 standing memorial of su?-. ceßsful rerietance to tyranny in defence of right and liberty. Upon, the whole, this siege was scarcely equalled in the anna’s of the world. The parallel run by the lecturer, where the materials -would admit of it, between tbe scenes lie was describing and those now being enacted in our country, was apro pos, and never failed to elicit enthusiastic applaase. His peroration was devoted to the sublime destiny of Titie American Republic, in which the lecturer comhiood «3he<-loKieufs of burning patriotism and fervid eloquence «i a high degree. The talamauic watchword of Lon donderry. “ No surrender !” he said, must, and would, be the watchword of the American people. -AMl.lnf JLH Popoet.aiv AMn Pariah CiltSA. —Among the departments of American manufacture which are now attracting notice, by their rapid strides towards a successful rivalry of tho best European goods, is that <-f Porcelain and Parian ware. We had yester day exhibited to us several articles in this line, manufac tured at East Liverpool, Ohio, which equal anything that we have seen, including, among other specimens o* -ceramic art. miniature bust* of the late lamented Stephen A.
