THE FASHIONS. [Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce] Paris, March 26.—The longest, most rainy, muddy and windy of Paris winters has at last come to an end, and April ushers in a pring temperature. If our Easter was not, a al, flowered, (paque fewri.) it waa genial and beautiful, with a June sun and a brilliant dis- lay of bright-hued summer-gala toilettes. On ‘alm Sunday our birds of fashion were wrapped and muffled in winter attire, but on the Easter Sabbath the lightest and gayest plumage decked the fair Fequenterscf! the Champs Ely- sees and the Bois de Boulogne. Among the besatiful costumes prepared by- the distinguished mantua maker, Mad. Fauvet, 4, Rue de Minars, and worn at the promenade of Longchamps, one particularly admired is of » pink-shaded, pearl-gray moire antique; it is crnamented down the front, from the throat to the edge of the skirt, with flat velvet buttons, eurrounded by white lace; those on the corsage of the same size; those on theskirt irerease ze from the waist downwards. The corsage h, perfectly plain, and without any seam ¢ waist, forming a single piece with the ate jupe, a 'Imperatrice. The sleeves are of the pagoda style, and very wide at the waist; a re- edged with a frill of white lace, com. mences at the sleeve hole in front and descends, p2ssing around the sleeve at the wrist. The revers is also decorated with velvet buttons trimmed with Iace. The most recherche sprio, silk robes are made after this pattern. Blac velvet ribbon bows fastened in the center with a steei buckle, and placed down the front of the skirt, form an elegant decoration for silk walking robes. In spring and summer modes Madame Alphonsie, 12, Rue de Helder, dis- plays her usual good taste in discarding the too lavish adornment of gold ornaments and flow- ers, which we see on many of the bonnets. Her silk eapotes, covered with black or white lace, #re the prelude to leghorn and straw bonnets— very becoming ene are made partly of leg- horn and partly of silk: the front leghorn, and the crown. which is soft, and of drawn silk. They are trimmed either with ruehes of silk. a simple bow, or asmall bouquet of flowers; white ‘erape bonnets have the front and curtain all éouallonnes, without any other trimming than a sprig of spring flowers, yellow stocks, lilac, hawthorn or pink rhododendron. When rho- dodendron is worn on bonnets—and it is ver much the vogue at present—it is made muc! emaller than the natural flower. The great manufacturer and exporter of lace —Violard, 4, rue de Choiseul—has lately ex- osed a great variety of magnificent shawls, fsa points, mantelets, summer vvilettes and barbes for the decoration of bonnets and coif- fures. The dainty new-fashioned pocket-handker- chiefs from the establishment du Sublime Port, 11, rue de la Paix, are a mixture of lace and embroidered spring flowers and vines Besides the Eau d’Albion composed by Gelle, (5, rae des Vieux Augustins,) and which at all seasons is in great demand, this ingenious perfumer and largest exporter of perfumery in France offers now an immense assortment of exquisite sceats extracted from spring plants and flowers In the spring and autumn our Parisian ven- ders omaally ress up old materials in new names. The silks and ribbons, caps and man- telets, and even culinary chef-d’ceuvres which now tempt the public under the title of a /a Savotsien, (a le Savoyard would savor too much of hand-organs, white mice and chim- ney-sweeps.) are without number. The a1 nexation of Savoy to France has not been hailed with equal satisfaction both sides of the Alps. The discontent in Sardinia vents itself in Rescate o'Nacre Rot,”’ whispers the Tu- “a vendu sa fille et donne son ber- Tueopore Parker Going IN For “ACIDULA- ted Comrocxps.’’—A tour in Europe is very apt to enlighten an American teetotaller as to the true remedy for intemperance. Theodore Parker writes in « recent letter from Rome In Europe you see many things which seem strange to an American. Take the use of wine. If I am right, the Europeans consume about 6,500.000,000 gallonsof wine. In France, leave out of account the pasture land which is not plowed, and the forests, of the actual arable land one-third is devoted to the culture of the grape! Yet there are immense districts where no wine can be raised at all. I see it stated that the government returns make it appear that the people of France drink 850,- 00,000 gallons of wine, and the calculation is that the amount is not much less than 1.000,- 000.000' Yet I don’t believe, in the year 1859, there was co much drunkenness among the 39,000,000 people of France as among the 3,000,000 Yankees of New England. I have been four months at Rome; there are wine shops everywhere; I am out of doors from three to six hours a day, and I have never yet seen a man drunk; now and then one is merry, never intoxicated The Romans, Italians, French, &c., are quite temperate; they drink their weak wine with water, and when they take liquors, it is only a little glassful ata time (which does not make spoonful.) I don’t believe there isa bar in all Italy where men step up and drink rum and water, gin and water, &c. Excessive drinking is not to the taste of the people. In the North of Europe, and even in Switzerland, it is not so. The English, without help from the Irish and Scotch, drink about 600 or 700.- 90,000 gallons of beer every year, not to speak of the wine, spirits, &c., they take to wash it down withal. Ther drunkenness. So you fiad it im Sesndinavia, in Holland and North Germany. How do you think the Americans will settle the drink question ? Certainly, not by taking merely to water, tea, coffee, £c. We shall have more beer, perhaps return to the making of cider, and certainly plant vines where they will grow. Drunkenness is such a monstrous and ghastly evil, I would do al- mest anything to get rid of it. But I some- times think we have taken the wrong track. I am glad to see the license law introduced to the NewYork Legislature, and I think it will do more than our New England scheme of prohibition by force."’ Suave Tarev —Mr. Thomas Hamilton, a storekeeper in Providence, Rhode Island, has recent); losing bank bills from « drawer Oa leaking into the matter he discovered a crevice of some two inches or more in width, ransing the whole length of the counter and closed on every side. On getting at this there were found nearly & of bank bills in every stage of mutilation, some few of them nearly entire, while others were separated into minute particles. It is evident that a branch of the mouse family bad taken up their abode in the aforesaid crevice, aud lacking the xtray- requisite bedding, had committed the e¢: agance of making their bed on bank bi’ stolen, at that. i i circumstances, to arrive at anythin, approximation of the amount thus destroyed, though Mr. Hamilton thinks it must draw pretty hard on two hundred dollars. Of the whole, not more than thirteen dollars will be saved.

High Life The number of eminent actresses and singers who have made what may be called great mar- riages is small. Searcely in any country but England has the been the arena whence women, however estimable their personal char- acter-have been matrimonially elevated to rank and fortune. Over acentury ago, the Duke of Bolton married Miss Fenton, the original Polly in “The Beggar's Opera.’’ Towards the close of the last century, Miss Farren left the sta; to become Countess of Derby. Later still, Miss Brunton became Countess of Craven. The cel- ebrated Irish tragedienne, Miss 0’Neil—sup- posed.to be Miss Frotheringay of Thackeray's ‘Pendennis,”” a caricature wholly unworthy of his pen and her undoubted genius—retired from the profession in the midst of her great- est triumphs to marry Mr. Wrixon Beecher, of Ballygiblin, near Mallow, in the south of Ire- land, and afterwards became member of Par- liament, was created Baronet, and died in '50, Lady Beecher surviving. Miss Mellon, after becoming wife of Mr. Coutts, the London ban- ker, became Duchess of St. Albans by marri- age. One of the latest of these decided ‘dra- matic effects” was the marriage of Miss Foote to the Earl of Harrington. We have to announce the marriage of Made- moiselle Victoire Balfe, the vocalist, to Sir John Fiennes T. Crampton, K. C. B., formerly British Minister at Washington, and now in the same capacity at St. Petersburgh, where the nuptials took place. Sir John’s father, Dr Philip Crampton, has been Surgeon-General to the British forces in Ireland, and also had tho most extensive practice in Dublin for half a century. In 1839, he was created a Baronet, whereby he became Sir Philip Crampton. Dying in 1358, his title descended to his son. who had previonsly been created Knight Grand Cross of the Bath, to console him for being sent home by President Pierce, on account of his complicity in enlisting recruits for the British army on American soil, during the Russian war of 1854 John, by his father’s death, sueceeded not only to the baronetey, which is preanary though not a noble rank, and also to immense landed and other property in Ireland Born in Dublin in 1807, the happy bridegreom is now 53 years old. The present is his first plunge out of single blessedness. Lady Crampton, who is a remarkably pretty woman, is 23 years old, having been born in the Rue de la Victoire, Paris, on the Ist Sep- tember, 1837. Her mother is a French prima donna, (M’lle Sona Rezer.) who married Mich- ae! Wm. Balfe, the well-known Irish composer and singer. His operas are well known every- where, from ‘The Siege of Rochelle’ and *: The Bohemian Girl’? down to ‘‘The Rose of Castille’ and ‘“Satanella,”’ his last produc- tions. Even in childhood, Victoire Balfe showed great taste and feeling for music. Her yoice, & pure soprano, was developed under the instruction of Emmanuel Garcia, at Paris, and subsequently in Italy, under her father's care, with the sid of eminent masters. Her first ap- pearance upon the stage was at the Italian Opera House, London, (Mr. Gye’s,) May 23, 1557, as Amina, in “La Somnambula,”’ in which opera she was supported by Mad. Te *- liafieo, Sig. Ronconi, and Sig. Gardoni. lier Success was great, and was real. Her voice proved to be ahigh soprano, of great flexibil- ity, and even sweetness. Fanging trom low C to Cinalt. She subsequently sang, that same year, at the opera in Turin, and, returning to England in 1859, appeared at the Italian Op- era Drury Lane Theatre, where one of b reatest hits wasin the ro/e of Arline in‘ Gingare, (ber father’s ‘“ Bohemian Girl Italianized,) in which she gave wonderful ef- fect to the air “I dream'd that I dwelt in marble halis,”’ or ‘In una reggia splendida.”’ Her voice, which is remarkably sweet rather than powerfal, was scarcely able to fill such a large theatre as thatof Drury Lane. Last year the young lady accepted an engagement at the opera in St. Petersburgh, where the event has oceurred which happily converts Victvire Balfe into Lady Crampton. As Sir John Crampton resided for several years in Washington, we have gone a little into detail for the information of his friends and acquaintances there.— Phila. Press et Solid Oil im toe Shape of Coal. We have been favored with a small specimen of coal from the neighborhood of Cairo station, Ritchie county, Virginia, on the Northwestern Virginia Railroad, which is of a peculiur qual- ity. It has been tested by various chemiste, and has been found to he as it were crystalized mineral oil, being without stratification, and free from any foreign substance. The teste have shown that it will yield one hundred and sixty five gallons of crude oil to the ton. By taking a portion of the eoal and laying it on a hot stove or shovel, its extraordinary quality is obvious. It melts and runs like wax.—Pitrs- burgh Post, Wh. e fear our Pennsylvania and Virginia friends are getting too much excited in natural oil beds. as we downeasters once were Tespect- ing pine trees; and this story of solid oil re- minds us of an occurrence in our State during the days of the land fever. After most of the lands had been sold over several times, other projects were started; and among them that of finding coal along the ape formation of our sea coast in Maine. he existence of red sand stone upon the river St, Croix, lead some to believe that coal might be found beneath it, and hence a company was formed ‘‘down east’ and the work of boring for coal commenced The stock was talked up by the bulls of that day to five dollars oo when one Mondap in drawing up the boring apparatus pieces of black shale were found, similar in character to those which overlie the coal formation in Pennsylvania. This indication of coal carried up the stock to ten dollars per share, and all the neighborhood was in a great ferment re- specting shares in the pew coal mine. The week’s work went on, but without any further indications of coal. Next Monday, however, upon drawing up the auger after boring a short time, it came up filled with white bread and butter. This was a little richer than the solid oil of irginia, above named; and although upon discovery of indi- cations of coal, the stock went up to $10 per share, the bread and butter strata carried it down to nothing, and actually killed the com- pany outright. Some wag on Sunday had first dropped into the hole the pieces of shale; and next Sunday followed it by a loaf of bread well buttered, which threw so much ridicule upon the whole project that it was abandoned.—Port/and Ad vertiser. 177 On Good Friday, at Hull, England, some of the Northumberland militia were Practicing rifle shooting; a corporal was acting as marker at the = meeting x adistance of 20 st wie ae e men fired; just as the piece sii; 2 causing the bullet to strike the poll ters feline ing, it struck the marker, inflicting afatal wound 17 The London Press says that the ill-feehing between the Ministers of England and France became-so personal recentl: t a violent alter- cation took ata great diplomatist’s 'y immediately Count Pomeny left London, but of such acharacteras Person whom it Involved that names not be mentioned.
