New Yorx, Avril 19.—The despotism of fashion extends not only over the productions of milliner and modiste. it is quite as exigeant regarding other portions of the toilette, and not the least impor- tant of its orders apply to underwear. There are new freaks of fashion in this latier, almost a8 no- ticeable as those charac'erizing dress and bonnet. Tae introduction of Torchon .lace has proved an unqualificd success. Valenciennes was never quite appropriate for trlmmingany save the most dressy and faaciful of garments, snd, pretty as is Ham- burg cdging, one did weary of jt in unlimited quantities. The excessive uze of The ono and the upeuitable use of the other, have both been obvi- ated by the substitation of Torchon lace. Walk- ing skirts should escape the ground by at least half an inch, and they should have all the fullness se- cared at the back. Now that many ladfes have dis- carded their bustles this is more neceseary than ever. It prevemts the dress from clinging too close, and from baving that lank appearance whicn, I think, is best expressed by a good old darkyism—-*sloomy.” For wearing beneath the short Kilt ekirt nothing is more approvriate than a closely-zored skirt, perfectly smooth in front and across the bips, and gathered into a belt at the back., A row of shirring or a tape draw-string should be added fn the back a little more than halfway down to secire the fulluess and prevent Its falling to the front. Long-trained skirts are chielly of two kinds,—one, very much gored and having the fullness at the back, whenee it extends into a long fun truin; the other, lizhtly gored, and having added at the knces o deep ful) stonnce, which in the back is twice or thrice its depth fn front, thus forwing a handsome train. Torchon and Smyrua laces are much used fn trimming un- derskirts. A pretty novelty, however, shows the old-fashioned cambric ruflles, with open, hem- stitched bem, and bordered along the edges by a very narrow Smyroa Jace, or occavionslly real YValencicnnes. Some . of the most pleass ing uncerskirts hmve two or three gath- cred rufles, each cut fn small em- broidery ecallops, and worked wiih colors, Sometimes u fine narrow vine or some other deli cate little design is embroidered just above the scallops. Liluck, red, blue. vellow, and pink nre thie colors most used, and théy mav be work separalely or in _combingtion. These skirts ure cxiremely tasteful, and already meet with favor. Muny ludied work the rafiles thewmselyes, but a very cscellent quality of cotton made up with from one o three ruilles und with scallops worked 1n any color can be hud for from $1.50° to $2.50, French luwn, batiste, finer qualities of percale, ure the waterials most 'desirable for uzking ander- wear. Al trained dresses require_something that will aord duc support to the -rain, and for ths purpose nothiug is #o well adapted as'a skirt known I TUE LONG TOURNURE. Tae front ia an ordinacy zored skirt of Victoria lawn. 'The back has a” foundation of cross-barred crinoline cut it a lons train of the most approved style. Overthis foundation is a separate gored teain of Vietoria lawn trimued with full graduated flounces of the same. On the under side of the foundation are three easings, in which are drawing-stripgd to tie back the =kirt us much a1 may he desired.” From the belt reaching to the top of the uppermast flounce is a small bustle of steel eprings, well covered with muslin, and so at- tacked that it may he removed at pleasure. Around tho {ool of the front and sides is a moderately deep flounce, whicn may be trimmed according to taste. The bottor flounce in the back is orna- meuted to correspond. — This is a Most elewant gac- ment, and, 10 me, itappeurs indispensable to every lady. Of course, it can be worn anly in the hous: nd too casily soiled to be worn in 3 up as I liave described in \ic- toria lawn, or finc percale, the tournure costs 510.

Thero was o ramor on the strects yesterday that the action of the Council Building Committee in Jetting the stone contract is to be investigated by the Grand Jury. It was said that subpwnas were out for witnesses, who would be calied on to tell what wus done with $25,000. State's-Attorney Mills was questioned regarding the matter, but he badr't heard anything of such an intention. It may be troc, however, that the County Ring and Walker will try to throw dirt on the Aldermen and Mayor who voted against his stone; bat nothing will come of it. AS FAR AS TIIE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS under the injunction are concerned, nothinz will of course be heard of them for a couple of wecke. Nobody hus uny expectation that the Courtwill erant the injunction. The precedents Jaid down by Judge Drummond and Judse Farwell will hurdly be overruled by any other Judge. Of courge pending the hearing of tho case, nothing will be done by the stone contractor in the way of beginning the work. e needs that time for those neceseary preparations which are preliminary to beginning the actual labor, GEN.
