C., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1857. THE FASHIONS. (Correspondence of N.Y. Journal of Commertce.} Paris, October 2% We have heard of a silvereradle falling tothe lot of a lucky lady mayoress, who by good for- tune has added to her lord’s family during his year of office; but, until now, we have never heard of a bedstead com of the same rich metal. Six bedsteads of silver have been or- dered from one of the large furniture establish- ments here, by the Pasha of Egypt, in contempla- tion of the marriage of bis son with the present Sultan’s daughter. The work is of an arabesque character; the hedstead is composed throughout of pierced open metal work. doubly plated, with serolls of matted and burnished silver in high relief. The head is pierced. and surmounted with chased foliage, the foot harmonizing in charac- ter, and being enriched by a large arabesque shell. Fluted and polisbed pillars at each eor- rt gracefally arched open work, over ntended to fall the mosquito net—the only bed furniture used in the Last. The sil- ver work is thrown into relief by a lining of crimson velvet. and a mattress and bolster of green satin completes the ornaments of the couch. The cost of the set is estimated at $70,000. The extravagance of the Parisian world is making such rapid strides toward East- ern magnificence that we shall doubtless. ere long, hear of Parisian boudoirs and bedrooms ornamented not only with silver or golden couches, but with etageres, divans, &c., of the eame precious material The morning robes, dinner dresses and even- ing costumes prepared by Madame Petit. 4 Place Vendome. and our other first rate artistes, for the Imperial fetes at Compeigne during the sojourn of the Court at this delightful palace, are fine specimens of the lavish richness of the present style of costume. No — appears twice in the same toilette; and the breakfast- gown is as heavily bedizened with embroidery. laces and furbelows, as was the gala attire of a grand dame ten years ago. The plain black or dark colored taffotas are the silks generally preferred at this season and during the winter, for walking dresses. These robes are made either with a double skirt, or with trimmings up the sides of a plain skirt. When double the upper skirt is finished either with a deep fringe or a ruce « /a vielle of rib- bon. The side ornaments when sewed on, are made in various ways. Some consist of quad- rilles or lozenges, formed with narrow black velvyete, other of ruches. On black silk skirts are seen. at the side, a pyramid of Prussian blue silk. bordered at the side with a narrow fringe, and generally covered with eross-bands of velvet or fancy jetornaments. The corsages of these robes @ trimming. of of nar- row velyets representing a low body on a high ene. There are also faney trimmings of velvet made separate from the dress, which may be worn with different bodies. They consist of broad velvet braces. between which, in front, seven cross bands of narrower velvet are put ; these bands form a ladder in the shape of a V. A bow of black velvet is placed on the last crose band. at the waist. These ornaments are much worn on pointed bodies without lappets. Large velvet buttons are a favorite ornament en corsages, skirts and jackets. The following is a description of a charming style of evening toilette for a very young lady. A pink silk frock of a check pattern; three flouneeson the skirt each being edged with narrow fringe. The open body is cut away heart-shape, both before and behind. and is ornamented with 2 narrow reverse forming braces on the shoulders and gradually dimin- ishing down tothe waist. In front and behind are narrow cross bands of the silk bordered with a fringe. The short sleeves aré puffed. Many flounced skirts have a velvet border over the odge of the ruffles. The winter bonnets made by Madame Al- phonsine, 12 Rue de Helder. and other artists who direct the fashions for the approaching | season, come more forward on the head, an are larger than those worn during the sum- met—the curtain hangs very low, and is cov- ered with deep biondes. reaching beyond the edge. For fuli dress, a pensy velvet bonnet is bordered with a bias piece of royal white vel- Yot. “The crown is plaited, and slopes off be- hind. Adeep black lace turns back on the edge of the front; there is a bouquet of white feathers on each side. Claret velvet bonnets are trimmed with a wreath of claret velvet fo- liage. Bonnet of sky blue velvet have for ornaments blue velvet ribbons mixed with tips of Thibit feathers. Plaid velvet bonnets, or- nameuted with black lace, are among the nov- elties of the moment. White crape bonnets are covered with black spotted tulle. For or- nament there is a wreath of puffed dame—col- ored velvet placed along the edge of the front and curtain ; om one side there is a bouquet of white feathers. A brilliant ornament of jewels bas been pre pared by Sarazin, 19 Boulevard St. Denis, to accompany the parures, formerly part of the ball costumes. This is a bandeau @ la Supho, worn a little above the forehead, and composed of precious stones: it is the antique style of jewelry. and is particularly beewming to those who wear their hair coifed a 7 Lmperatrice. We have secon at Chaperons, Rue de Ia Paix. the handkerchiefs destined to be carried by our grandes dames. who have been biden to the Royat feasts at Compiegne. There is the break: fast handkerchief; the ove to accompany the mid-day toilette, and the elegant chiffon of the finest lace for the dinner costume. They a'l vary in size, in shape. and in richness or erna- mentation. Those to be spotted by the fair Amazons at the Imperial hunt are curiously worked in satin stiteh with Tepresentations ‘of étage, hounds and huntsmen wee -t— Cayapiax Ovresess —Mr. € Draper, of Kingston, Canczda, has shown himself an over- match in business tactics for some of the Yart kees. Thefactsareasfullows: “A few weeks a be heard of the failure of the firm of Messrs. G.H. & 8. P. Ely, of Rochester, to whom Mr. Draper had made consignments of wheat to the value of $17.50. The Messrs. Ely reported their liabilities mot great—they merely wanted a little time to make allright. “It was, however. thought their affairs would not prove so satisfae- tory as was represented. Mr. Draper ascer- tained that the Messrs. Ely some years ago chased about twenty thousand acres of land ime wining districtin Marquettecounty. M igan, to which land they were building a rail- road some seventeen miles in length, chiefly for the purpose of bringing down proceeds of the mines. It was soon found out that the Messrs. Ely were in the act of as-igning their qeeeer'y to creditors (’). and t they had made an assignment of their railroad property to certain creditors. one of whow was their brother... Now, according to the laws of Mich- igan, an awigument is of no effect until it is registered in the county in which the property Ties. An agent of Mr. Draper was immediately started from Roehester to the West. The same train which carried his agent carried the mail which coniained the Ely assignment. They both arrived at the point of designation at the same time, and before the assignment could make its way through the post office to the party to whom it was addressed, Draper's lew- yer an attachment on record upon the rail- way. wharves, station houses, and all the rolling stock of the railroad.

A breakfast of an egg and a cupof coffee sufficed for this most ab- stemious of men; after which he worked amon; his papers fur some hours before his clerk a assistants arrived. He wasa hard task-mas- ter: he ‘kept us all upon the jump.’ All day he was dispatching and receiving messages, sending for rh pipers and papers; expect- ing every command to be obeyed with next-to- impossible celerity, inspiring every one with his own zeal, and getting a surprising quantity of work secomplizshed. ‘He was éusrness in- carnate, said my informant. About ten in the evening he would give over. invite his compan- ions to the sidebourd, and take a single glass of wine. Then his spirits would rise, and he would sit for hours telling stories of his past life. and drawing brief and graphic sketches of celebrated characters with whom he had acted. Often he was full of wit and gayety at such times ; ‘ the liveliest fellow in the world; ‘as merry as a boy ;’ ‘never melancholy. never il!- natured.’ About midnight. or later, he would lie down upon a hard couch in the corner of his office, and sleep ‘like a child,’ until the morn- ing. In his personal habits he was a thorough- going Spartan: eating lite, drinking little, sleeping little, working hard. He wae toed of calculating upon how small a sum life could be supported, and used to think that he could live well enough upon seventy-five cents a week.”’ Towards the close of Burr's life, when from paralysis he was prostrated on his bed, a lady said to him : Colonel. I wonder now if you were the gay Lothario they say you were?”’ i The old man turned his eyes, the lustre of which was undimned still, toward the friend who made the remark, and lifting his trembling finger, said in his quiet, impressive whisper, which still lingers in her ears, and which brought tears to her eyes, twenty years. after. as she repeated the words : « They say! they say! tary say! Ab! my child, how long are you going to continue to use those dreadful words? hose two little words have done more harm than all others. Nover use them, my dear. Never use them'”’ Passing in Broadway a maiden lady of a cer- tain age, whom he ted not seen for many years, she accosts him with—- Colonel, do you-not recollect me ?"’ T do not, madam.”* *-‘ Tam Miss K——, sr, said she. -‘ What,” he ex- claimed. ** Miss K. get 2? HY, Su plied the lady, a little offended, yet.” Perceiving the error he had committed, he utly took her by the hand, and said, in his bland, emphatic manher—“ Well. madam, then I venture to assert that it is not the fault of my sex!"? Tur Dairy Noon Prayer Meetixc.—The New York correspondent of the Boston Journal. thus describes a feature in New York city. which originated during the stress of the late panic : “One of the features of the day that is quite noticeable, is a men’s day prayer meeting, eld in the lectare-room of the Old North Dutch Church, from twelve o'clock to one o’clock. The meeting is begun at twelve o'clock precisely, and closes exactly on the hour. The room is full and crowded and the interest appears to in- crease from day today. It originated with the new effort to meet the religious destitution of the lower part of the city, and begun witha modest meeting held once in the wees. But the attendance and the benefit seem to demand the more frequent observance of the privilege. and now it has becomes daily service. And with the pressure came a larger attendance, and @ more spirited service, and the probability is that the meeting will be adjourned to the ehurch. Any one comes in or goes out when he pleases. It is the rule of the place to leave at any moment: All sects are here—the formal and stately Churchman, the impulsive Metho- d st, the sober substantial Dutchman, the ardent Congregationalist, the Baptist and Presbyter- ian. joining in the same chorus and bowing at the same altar. The movement was a bold une for New York—so near the gates of mammon, and's0 near that altar of Pluto at which so many in our midst do not fail to bow down and wor- ship. Not one woman is in the meeting, and the singing from two hundred male y i really majestic.”’ Excouster witn A Bran.—Robert I. C Chureh, of West Mills, Industry, Me., publishes the following in the Maine Farmer: While returning from the upper part of Moose- head Lake, where I had been log driving, and when in the vicinity of Mount Kimeo, which lies on the western shore of the lake, I heard a cracking noise in the bushesbeforeme. It was some moments before I ascertained that the noise was made by a large moose that was browsing. Isilently drew up my piece and fired at his nose, whieh I could just see through the bushes, but apparently without effect, as he made off at full speed. I pursued him about one hundred rods, when, in passing round an abrupt point of a ledge which hid him from m: sight, Isuddently found myselfconfronted with a large bear, which instantly sprung upon me with his mouth wide open had not a moment for reflection—I had not time to use my piece bad it been loaded. As he rushed towards me, I dropped my rifle and thrust my fist into bis mouth. grappling with all the energy of despair the rootsof histongne In this manner we rol- led and tambled for some moments, he striving to get clear of me. and I holding on for life. At last he drew up his hind legs. and with tremend- ous foree kicked me twenty feet from him, rend ing my pantaloons into shreds. He did not re- new the attack. but made off, and I had no dis- position to follow him. I have followed hun- ting in the winter seasons for the last ten years, and am accustomed to all dangers incident to the business, but I do not again covet a close hug withabear. I was not materially injured, exeept my bund aud arm, which were cousidera- biy lacerated. Swearing Mane Easy.—The Sacramento Age chronicles a curse almost as copious as that Bark orn and which, with a little varia- tion, might be adopted for general use and ap- plied toalmost we emorgency oye poate: “swearing out of jail.” Says the California paper: “An individual in neat apparel dttempted to cross an alley, slipped from a plank and fell into the mud front foremost, and sped propied up by both arms,.which were inserted to the elbow inthe softearthenware.
