No intimation of the condition of the bank is given by the directors, and it is impossible at present to speculate with any assurance of correctness. A rumor prevailed during yesterday after- noon in San Francisco, which may have gone east, that Burling Brothers, on most prominent firms of stock brok failed for two million dollars, Inquiry to confirm the report. is true that the firm is #ffected to the amount of about a half million by the suspension of the Bank of Cal- ifornia, but it is believed they are able to stand it, and it is stated on good authority that Mr. Sharon bg! back them up if any #td isneedct.

The ovly disappointment of the trotting meeting at Springfield, Mass., last week, was in the Ca = cted withdrawal of Goldsmith Maid and Judge Fullerton for the free for all.

Mr. Budd Doble was interviewed as soon as pos- sible, and he gave the following reasons:— The oli mare is past nineteen years, and has come to the time when she would naturally be expected to fail, and has failed. She trotted a very fast race at Rochester, the best nee she ever made, which left her lam¢ with a very bad leg. At Utiea she was still ‘ame, but beat Luin with a great eftort, wiih her leg in mueh worse condition, and if bas not improved abit. If he should start werhere the chances are he would break her down and leave 1 in torture for the rest of her life; and, out of respect for what she ha! dene for many years past, he was unwilling ‘o take the risk.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 31.—Nothing au- thentic has been learned concerning the re- sumption of the Bank of California in addi- tion to the last dispatch on that subject. During the latter part of this afternoon and evening many reports have been heard about town to the effect that the bank will start In a few days; that seven or eight millions haye been subscribed for the purpose and that the whole matter has been decided. Ail such statements must be received with due cau- tion as tending to induce a feeling of cer- tainty which facts do not warrant as yet. Such assertions are only traced to street talk. That they have been toa great extent received as correct, and have produced ao additional feeling of confidence, is undenia- ble, but they should not be accepted as au- thoritative.

FALL FASHIONS, ——— [From Our Own Correspondent.) NEw YORK, August 31.—Tuere are evi- dences of an incoming change which will probably preauce another revolution in fash- jon. Everything new, and particularly every- thing French, tends to the revival of pat- terns, figures, and designs tn stuffs and fabrics such a8 we have not seen for nearly a quarter of acentury. Very aecided changes take two or three years to bring about, and Lbey occur, perhaps, once in fiftc en to tweaty five years. Minor changes occur, of course, Very frequently but the interests and evolu tions of the machinery of trade dcas not per mit of a total revelation mach more fre quently than the time indicated, so that, 1! it'were not for the dreanmakers mod their perpetual see-saw up and down and around We might have a little peace. We bave bad now a very long period of plain fabrics whieh require drapery and va riety in form to continue agreeable to the eye, and the introduction of matelasse, of eamascene ribbons and stuffs; the effort to restore the cloak as an independent street aaee ail point to one direction, the abo ition of the panier and the tune drapery, and the restoration of figures, cheeks, plaids. and, finally, somewhat distended skirt, over which the long cloak will hang sadately, and which will display the texture and design of costly fabrics. This would be a retrograte movement in many respects, and will not be made except under strong protest. The master of modern French millinery insists upon drapery under apy circumstances and upon any material dhe is right. Reduce him to = plain skirt his oecupation is gone.

Bat a thin wool tress, which contatus thirty to forty yards of material, is gathered up in bunches at the sides, which is loaded With piaitings, and drags a demi-train upon the ground, to ful- fill every law of its being; it was not intend- ed tobe ornamental spectaily, it was born to be used, aud it has been made so unfit for its purpose that the result is disaster and ignominy, when it onght to have been con- venience, comfort and satisfaction. One of our difficulties arises from the seem ing necessity of one style and one tashion for all fabrics and all occasions. Witness the mass of folds and wrinkles which every woman and git! from Maine to Georgia car- ries upon her back in cotton and in linen, in silk and in woolen, at home or abroad, at the present time. WHAT CONSTITUTES FASHION? Still we advance. It is only of late years that the detail of fashion bas proceeded to the high refinement of creating special cos- tumes for the intermediate seasons, for the fail and spripg, not to speak of the adapta- lon to every specitic occasion and purpose, and it is this alteration to minutia, this re- finement in detail, this peottety aad fit- ness, which constitutes elegance, if it does not fashion pure and simple. Early fall styles adapt themselves of late years more to the country than to the town. It is not unUl late in Getober or early in November, not until the glory of the woods and fields has become dimmed, that fashion retarns to the city and prepares for the brief but busy campa.gn that covers six weeks before and six weeks afier the holidays. The theater and opera munagers are begining to under- stand this and save their principal attrac tions until fall has advaneed or the winter begun. No more will the great primadounas be allowed to waste their sweetness on t September air, or star actors be permitted to throw away high art on audiences that pre- fer the Vokes. Hereafter we shall have What this season has beguu, au interm- {i Season With Vai business, 1> bridge th period between the dulluess of summer and the gavety of winter.

The new fall late are ail of felt,and the bigher grades are not only very fine with a soft “velvet” finish, which some leaves nothing to be desired. Of course ths grays, the browns, the navy biues and the cream whites prejomtnate, but there are “invisible” greens and slate grays and wine plors in the choicest cloth shades, so that ost any fall or winter costume he matched in felt as closely as in velvet.

COLORS. The striking peculiarity abort colors for the coming season is the coutrast between dark and light, and their close and intimate Association. These shades, as properly com- bined, preserve a beautiful harmony, but it requires @ perfect eye for color to distinguish them, aud particularly to properly place them. The faintest cream or“ ivory” tint is put with deepest cardinal scarlet or dark walnut, @ pale “ water” shade with “ invie- ible green,” “skim miik” with navy blue, and so on. The subtle delicacy with whieh the shades are harmonized is Worthy of am artist, and requires both artistic taste and training to achieve.
