(Mr. Tennyson writes to the elitor of the Ledger: * The poem, which I send herewith, is supposed to be written or spoken by a liberal Englishman at the time of our ition of American Indepemience.”} © Abou, that s-ndest out the man To rule by land and von Strong mother of a line, Bee ‘ud of those strony sous of thine ‘ho wrenoh'd their rights fom thee!

Good taste in dress is certainly the exclusive Privilege of our Parisian modistes, and this pr'- Vilege is acknowledged by even ‘our bitterest enemies, since even the Queen of Prasaa and the ladics of her court have been among ‘he foremost to claim from Paris new models in dress and head-gear, as soon as circums!ance- permitted a renewed intercourse with oar much injured city. They seem to care very little tor the fashions which Berlin has now pretensions Prench ladies affect to dress with. new fashions—which for them indifference—Parisian tast., gard to seem matter of neverthelers, sends forth its decrees throaghoat rope and A) fea. Paris sends back to England, corrected, moditied and embellished, all the models of which she is the inventor, and & d is crazy for those modifications which to Parisian tact and taste. w style which is now being introdaced for the eut of dri room is that which pi 2 end of the Eighteenth Century when powder and elabo- tate coiffures had already pm gg and been exchanged for a simpler mode of dressing the hair. The dress, for instance. is of white satin, with train-shaped skirt; the bodice, with points in front, is} at the back, and the side-pieces, though cut square, give a certain roundness to the waist by fitting it perfectly close. The skirt is plaited in flat piaits of Tate size, all the tuliness is thrown to the back; the front and sides are plain, and very gracefully cut. The only trimming, @ bertha of black lace, drapad Pf forming an epaulet over the shoulder. In the middle of the epaulet there isa bow of sati: edged with a silver fringe, and fastened with rich jewel. Under the bodice there is a lac chemisette. The sleeves are wide at the top, and tightened from the elbow with rich lace trimming. As for out-of-door fashions, there are but few modifications to the walking costam=, generally made ot light cloth, and consisting of a skirt with tunic and casaque, paletot, or jacket, all of the same material. The most fal ble colors are still dark-green, prune, m: and grey. Braided cashmere is still more stylish for the complete costume. The material of the mantle or jacket entirely disappears under the e! pattern of the braid work. Another style of e« tume equally ten porte is of velveteen, trimmed with fur or astrakhan. Ladies of superlative elegance wear the tunic dress of grey silk velvet, and the black velvet mantle. This costume is less ample than the cloth ones; the tunic, slightly draped at the sides, is fully plaited at the back, bat without exaggeration. The round hat, or bonnet, of felt or velvet, to match the costume, ts extremely — The veil is fastened en echarpe at the back. ‘A very elegant cashmere costume, prepared this week by one of our good couturieres, is of the shade ot brown called pastel clasr. It consists of a first skirt, (rimmed round the bottom with two plaited flounces, each aboat six inches deep, headed with a wide cross-strip, worked with a garland of leaves in mohair braid-work, of the same shade of color. Second skirt, draped and stretched plain in front, so as to throw all the tulnes* at the back, trimmed with a similar braid-work border, and with woolen gaipure of the same shade. Jacket bodice with basques, long behind and short in front, also trimmed with braid-work and with woolen guipure. Another stylish costume is of black yelyeteen; it is composed of a first skirt, trimmed roand the bottom with a deep-gathered tie: out and edged with satin; tigh ig tunic scalloped out tike the skirt, and fastened all the way down in front with satin buttons. Satin revers upon the bodice and sleeves. Circular of the same velvet, scalloped out and edged with satin like the skirt. Black felt hat, with two long feathers, put on a la Huguenot, and theown back over the chignon, with aigretie, composed of a biue-tinted bird’s win, ‘0 complete this costume, asmall fichu of bige-tringed crepe de Chine, was coquettishly tied round the neck. and a morevlegant costume still is of splendid Lyons velvet. Tie skirt is trimmed with double Dias folds of the material, headed with narrow flutings. The second skirt, ornamented with a border of margurrite in passementeric, beaded with Jet, and edged with a thick fringe, also braded. Bodice with a long Louis XV. gilt, enriched with similar passem=nterie, and with a berder ef sable. Dolmon mantle of velvet, with Jong sleeves falling loose at the sides, trimmed with passementerie and fur to correspond Black velvet bonnet, with diadem of cut jet, Diack lace lapels at the back, drooping black feather at the sides, and aigrette of bright ecol- ored plumage. A visiting toilet of most tasteful style, is of maroon faille silk,and velvet—the veivet of a darker shade. The first skirt is trimmed with five velvet bands. of graduated size. The sec- ond skirt is slightly puffed out; it is trimmed with one band only, of dark maroon velvet. There is an open gi/et, all of maroon velvet, with square basques.. It is fastened in the low by silk buttons; the opening of the gilet is filled up with a rich fall of lace. The toilet is com- Noted by a tight-titting as, with cut-out asques, also remaining Open in front; it is trimmed all round with velvet. The sleeves are wide, and show pretty under-sleeves of lingrrie, trimmed with lace to correspond with the jabot upon the bodice. Some costumes are made of two shades of color, but they require great tact in their selec- nm.’ As a specimen in very mention a dress of nut-color blue. The skirtis trimmed out ruches, lined with blue, and the polonaise is turned up on each side with silk, edged with a narrow fluting and black lace border, which are continued round the outline of the polonaise.

It is also considered very stylish to wear the velvet court-train over the silk or satin dress, The train may either be plain, or be trimmed with one or more lace jounces. The train has one large double plait at the back, fastened at the waist. A very handsome eee Se is of white satin and de Chine. trai skirt is of white satin, without any trimming; the ta- nic, of crepe de Chine, is trimmed a deep fiounce of white blond, headed with arache crepe.

This discovery, destined to date as an important epoch im the wonderful events of the present century as the gold discor- eries im California and Australia, will lead to the ray settiement and development of the southern portion of that great continent so long known and yet so little understood. With cli- mates, soils and productions as varied and simi lar to those of California, its progress of settle- ment and development hitherto, owing to many causes has not kept pace with many other more recently discovered countries, and the meager information derived from missionary reports, lion hunters’ exploits, and truthful travelers’ tales, backed by blue-book accounts of Caffir wars, has not tended to induce a very extended emigration in that direction. But now comes the Diamond discoveries, and small asthe “ rush,” (if worthy of the name,) has been as yet, still it has exercised a talis- manic influence ‘already upon the prospects of the English Colonies and Dutch Republics of South Africa, and their great future can only be faintly predicted. Who has ever heard of the Orange Free State and The Trans-Vaal Repub- lic. and the Vaal River? and yet it is sate to prophesy that in a few years these names, unless erged into the more comprehensive one of The United States of South Africa,” will become as familiar as household words. The Diamondiferous region of South Africa, which less than a twelve month was xap- posed to be confined to the few then worked lo- cations on the V fob ereceug Fall and sicni- fying tawny or muddy) river, which lies between latitutle 26 to80 south, aud longitude 23 to30 east, is now believed to extend over an area of 150,003 square miles, or nearly as large as the whole state of California, and is comprised almost en- tirely within the limits of the two Dutch repab- lics. Diggingsor fields are now located along the Vaal river 150 miles, and will probably reach intothe Drackouberg range, and dry diggings are daily being discovered many miles north and south of the Vaal and its tributaries, and upon the great Orange river and its tributaries. The geological structure of the Diamond- iferous region is the same as that of the Table Mountain range of California; the soil being ferruginous, garnetiferous, auriferous and calcareous, the surface indications being almost invariably garnets, agates and quartz. Like the same range in Californias, the Table Mountain range of South Africa is clearly of volcanic }» presenting the apy ee Of an upheaval with former river strata intermixed with 1 meta- morphic rock and vol tufa and scorrm. The diamonds are found in the wash from this ange, which fills the “pans” or basins, and forms the Kopjies or hilly of the present streams. .. The elevation of the range is between 4,000 and 6,000 feet above the level of the sea, while that of the Drackenberg, ag were Dutch Boers ( ) and ir families, several thousand English and Cape Colonists, numerous representatives of the various native tribes, a few Australians, 40 Americans (one half of whom were Califor- , Hindus, and one Chinaman. ured at 75 cents per The“ Fields” over which the governments in which they are lo- urisdiction, are subdivided into feet square, and leased to the HH * HA i iH i i i i | g £ i | Fi ttle girls also wear the high-crowned hat | ys q us Es ; ? ® i 4 ge [i ase Ee 22 £: ii if 5 a F fs Hi i 53 F % ening seen or heard, are of daily occur- rence during the summer, nentiv fatal man a 5 q fall a8 rapidly as they do in other countries By avy rain-falls and dry weather.
