Dress and Manners at Public Places—A Few Hints on Na- The recent concerts of Madame Sontag, inaugurating the new ‘ Variitis” theatre, and of course calling out all the fashion, elegance, pretension, aristocracy, snob bery, and vulgarity in flaunting banners, which abound, shine forth, and are mixed up in this mottled metropolis, Gives mean opportunity for a few hints on dress and manners at places of public amusement. The remarks I make io these quasi essays on manners are all entirely in the spirit of good nature, and will, I trast, be kindly and profitably received, not only in Washiogton, but in the various degrees of latitude and longitude which take their origin frem this grand national ceatre. First, as to the dress of the gentlemen. The fabulous sacks, surtouts and overcoats, the extraordinary waist- Costs and grotesque cravats—to say ncthing of the “stunning” watch seals, chains, breastpins, rings, &e., &e.,—now so universally fastionable io all public places, fare @ relic of barbarism. They spring from the same taste ‘which induces the Indian to paint his hide and wear gay- colored bones in his nose, and which exists in fyll vigor in the African, The first olfet of refinement is to subdue the manners, the voice, the dress, 0 as to avoid being the object of special notice and re- mark. Noone hes a right to challenge the attention of the compan. may bein, and draw it especially upon himself, unless he bas something te communicate of in- erest to all. Nothing can be more vulgar than to obtrude ope’s Own persoval affairs upon the attention of others. This first leston in good breeding is quite as much needed by so called fashionable ladies, as gentlemen. The loud talking, the giggling, the tittering, tue twistings and turnings, to which Indies are in the habit of resorting, whether from absolute ignorance or a ¢espicable desire to attract attention, are the very essence «f vulgarity. snd are as offensive to others as they are disgraceful to those who indulge in them. ~ But, to return to the dress and bebaviour of the gentle- men: When you visit a lady im the morning, you should wear @ black or dark colored frock or straight rack with dark colored gloves. The overcoat should be le’t in the hall, but on no account should the hat be left there. From any one but a member of thr household, this is a Frame impertivence—as it imp ies that the visiter feels imself at home, and authorised to act as if he were in his own house, For theatres or coucerts, the costume saved not be changed from the morning promenade. In thea- tris aud concert rooms, such as we have in this country, where here are no private boxes, and where every thi g iscone as it were in grand para‘e, full evening dress ia allected, snd, except in case of the Italiaa opera, in d cadedly bad taste. As to the ladies, they may dress pretty much as they please—a permission of which, I must con fess, they are not backward in teking advantage, 4, Larmopious full dress is very rarely seen. High-neske Gresses and bar aims, with flowers or feathers in the hair, are such unmitigated incongruities as fad no excuse among well educated ps ple. Ani as to those white and parti-colored worsted abominations for the hi prevalent, there are no words to characte: comingness and vulgarity. A pound or two of worated yarn, tipped with little balls, bobbing about the nose and face, cam produce nothing but the most unpleasing effect. ‘They seem to me as if the lady had taken a nap in her rocking chair after di:ner, anc had brought away the tay on her head. I hope they will be speedy banished. tow to enter a car iage, and how to sit in it, are things litte understood, and almest universally malpracticed.

I shall go more at length into the subject when sufficient members have arrived to give shape and color to the question. Judge Douglas will be w leading member of the Senate on foreign subjects hereafter. His late travels ail over Europe, ike those of Mr. Bennett, being for information as well'as pleasure. The Judge has returned with a bet- ter understanding of European affairs than he could ao- quire by twenty years practice in Congress, Wasurneton, Nov. 17, 1853. The Herald and the Administration—Marcy and the President—The Clerkship, §c., §c, Se+ The Heratp continues to give the administration a deal of trouble; yet, strange to say, they will read it, and can hardly wait patiently for the arrival o the evening train, when the newsboys deliver it like manna tothe hungry Jews in the wilderness. Is it vanity which makes them thus lock into the mirror from which their several persons and countenances are truthfully reflected ? If you think, however, that the Cabinet, and espe- cially its premier, is likely to retire into private life you place a higher estimate on their humanity than any one intimately acqaainted with them. Governor Marcy will sooner fight fisticuffs with Tom Hyer or Yankee Sullivan, than surrender the State Depart- ment. He has not come all the way from Albany to go back ina hurry. It was he who laid the plan of uniting the extremists against the national men, and submitted it to the President elect, at Concord. It was he who represented General Cass as an old dri- wholly inca) tated to make a show of opposition; and it was he, in fine, who assured the ident that the Union men, North and South, were but a handtul, and that the success of his administration depended entirely upon the skill with which he could unite the extremes in his support. For all this, he now claims his reward. j Knowing the generosity of General Pierce's cha- racter, Governor Marcy has had a care to sudmit every one of his plans first to the President, not merely to obtain his sanction, but to make him father it; so that it would now appear that Genera! Pierce the step, press it gently until your whole weight is upon it,’and then pass quietly in—taking care to retain hold of the door unt! you sce that the lady’s dress is properly arranged, so as not to be caught in the shutting. Of course the oy who has entered first, has taken the farther place on the back seat, and you plase yourself by her side—not straight fore and aft wise, like a rank and file soldier, but turned half towards her. By a similar posi- tion on her part, you are sufficiently face to face to con- verse with ease, aS if you were seated ona sofa Never, or very rarely, offer to carry a lady’s shaw! or parasol, or put your hand on her shoulier, or around her waist, (as is #0 often done,) in assisting her qut of the carriaga, or into ber seat. To a delicate woman, all such clapper claw ing is the most insuilexable rudeness. The proper way, wher you alight, is to offer your left arm, as a support for the lady’s right hand, and to hold your own right hand in readiness, should the exigences of skirta, &c., per- mit her taking it ‘with her left. In ascending a staircase, kesp side by side with the lady, but do not ba too osten- tatiour in ‘offering your arm, lest, in attempting to take it, she veglects the management of her skirts steps on her dress, and either falls or tears the dress out at the waist.

The Efforts of Cushing to Scuthernize the Administratim—The Cabinet Organs— Gov. Foote’s Defeat in Mississippi—The Fate of Gen. Cass—Appointments—Speakership, dc. I learn that Attorney General Cushing's letter against ‘the Massachure(ts coalition, and also his opinion on the Indiana slave case, was telegraphed at his or the Secre- tary of War's expense, to Mississippi, and published there simultaceously with its publication inthe Union. It is part of Cushing's branch of the Cabinet policy to south- ernize the administration—Cushing leading off with an eye ‘to his own promotion in the event of a Cabinet recon- struction. The game of the Union on Cuban African’za’ tion, is also instigated by Cushing, for the articles are taid to be written by him. His ulterior policy is to over. ride Marcy on the negro question, Marcy himself being all the time kept in the dark, and deluded with the idea that Cushieg is his fast friend. Ina word, Cushing is the Richelien of the administration in his ambitious schemes, though they are not quite so deep as Richelieu’s Master Shallow, if you please. ‘Oushing has two organs—the Union and the New Fork Times; Marey also has full confidence in the Union, but is keen enough to distrust the little jokers of the Times, and they cannot approash him. But Cushing is their right hand wan, and hence they play the same tung, with the same variations as the Union, on this Africanization of Cubs—Torriente incluced. I respect Marcy for his digni- fied contempt of the New York Times. The cefeat of Foote in Mississippi is not surprising. A wan of many good qualities, he was but a blatherskite: in fact, but litte better than a nuisance in the Senate— always on his feet, always kicking up a row: and this fact was quite ¢nough to upset him; and in going over to the whigs they cond not forget his aatecedents, notwith- standing the very flattering letter ot Gen. Cass. Joff. Javis, of course, is celighted, and Cushing and Marcy and Guthiie, f whom consider the result not only a triumph over Foote, but also over Cass, and a confirma- of the Baltimore amnesty to the secessionists and soilers” Maroy, on the other hand, assumes an air of indiffer. erence with regara tothe New York result, and [ now rstandthat ove object of John Van Bare late ‘vieit was (o persuade bim to hold fast, while the Prince attempted to bamboorle the President with the idea that ® compromise might now be effected without a change ia the Cabiret, because the election in New York turned upon the Cenat qu stion and the Maine Liquor law, the fit! masses of the cemocracy beirg really sound for rey and the administration. And mark you, General Cass being tied wp to the Oabi- met by having that son of his at Rome, the nat.onal de mocrats now conside* Jickiason as their chief. The is- sue is then between Dickinson and Marcy, in New York, in the Cabinet, and it will be #0 in Congress, and unless too many members «re bound hand and foot by the @poils dist ibuted for their benefit las; spring, the im of Dickinson in reference tothe campaign ot 866 will very soon appear. Io this view. I fear that Gen. Casa has already lost bis few rerasining chances for 1854. Upon this point Cushing keep» is ewn counsel, In the meantime, the Presient really believes that the Baltimore amnesty is a thivg which he is bound to carry ext—make or break. He really believes that his Cabinet & homogeneous ona, for they all appear so before him, and the Union says so. He resily believes that this New York sqvabbie may be reduced tos paltry concern between a ‘ew unpriaci- ied speilemen over the spoils. He hovestly thinks that © was elected by tie combined factions, Nerth and fouth, of the democratic party, and that ia this view his Cabinet and all bis syprintment have been properly pelected. Upon this rock, if he eplits, he will split, for be says he is right, and be is a conscieatious man and a generous man concerniog an amnesty to traiters, as in everything else, He was nominated in spite of the Casa en, and without the eupport of tre Van Baren faction ¢ North and the Southerm secessionists, he could not e been elected; and he says that he ‘the Baltimore compact among the factions, {ive Beltimore platform. He has Cone this, and will do +b ve the consequences to God and the country. 5 jabstance of my conversations with him last cing and summer, and such, [am sssured, is his peu ton bg .' Hid symprthies are wita the hard ells, but his pledges were to the Beltimore coslition, | take it, therefore, that short of some definite action of the ggg, er some unequivocal action in orale WA om ume upon the appointment o: eld, tua Gea, | prisoner came as himself is the author of all the mischief, and he, Marcy, (God save the mark !) the innocent victim. What a meeting there was between Marcy and Prince Jobn! What a comment on the human heart! Marcy hates John, and Jobn contemns Marcy; yet they know that the world hates and despises them | both more than either of them the other. There they stood, leaning against each other, amidst the storm which their own treachery has raised, and smiling at the good natere of Gen. Pierce, who has afforded them a port of retuge. The death of irr. Atherton is a stunning blow to the administration. He was singled oat as the ad- ministration leacer In the Senate, tor there is no oth- er Senator who possesses the entire confidence of the President. Yet his piace will be taken by Wells, the man whom A therton had defeated and the administra- tion will be more than gladif Edmund Burke himself is not returned to the Senate. Col. Forney feels perfectly certain of being re-elect- ed Clerk, in spite ot the republication of his Roberts letter. He informs inembers that the Presidext wishes him to be re-elected; and what the President wishes must be done. Yet notwithstanding all this, Forney will be opposed by members from his owa delegation, who are determiued t» give him no quar- ter. His relations with the President, however, are of the most intimate kind, and Gen. Pierce is a fre- quent visiter at Col. Forney’s house. Forney is sup- posed to be the pillar of Buchanenism in Peansylva- nia.” If maae to shpport some other stractare, the Pennsylvania temple must come dowa. Forney, how- ever, plays bis own game. LYNX. Trial of James L. Hoare fox the Murder of Susan McAnnanny. COURT OF OYER A. TERMINER. (Before Hon.

The District Attorney, in epening the case for the pro secution sald:— The statute law of this State declares that it shall ba considered murder when death is produced from a pre- meditated design to ettect the death of the person killed by suy human being; and als» when it is produced by any wanten, reckiessand depraved heart. For this c:ime of murcer the priconer at the bar stands indicted—the alleged murder having been perpetra’ed oa the body of Susan McAnnanay, 28 the circumstances as they will be Cetailed in evidence will show, ‘The prisoner occupied a porter bouse at 76 Cherry street, in this city.

Tiey appeared at that time to be perfectly gocd ratured and fr stepped up to the bar and asked for # glass of wine, which ‘was furnished him. He then proceeded to the rear part ofthe store. The barkeeper having hac bis a:teation attracted to the front part, observed nothing until he heard a scream, and heard the deceased say, “Oh! he is going to kill me!” or words to that effect. He then turned and saw the female struggling with the prisoner, anc holding her by the arm, aod holding in one hand a disk pi ol, with @ blade about four inches long, with which be deliberately stabbed her in the neck, severin, one of the arte H rom the effects of the said ps she died cp the Sth of Ostober.

About this tins a highly re spectable cearoan, the mate of a vessel, happened to be parsing along the street, an utter strangsr to both par- lies, who heard the screams of the female.

C, T. McCLENACHAN, Clerk. From the minutes. From the Rio Grande. We have received dates from Brownsy'lle to the 29th ult. The Flag of the 29th ult. announces that there bad been nine deaths from fever in the hospi- tal there from the 19th to the 28th, but added that the hospital was to close on the 29th, the remaining patients baving fully recovered. _ By the following items it will be een that the In- em bave been again committing depredations on the river :. We learn by advices from above that about two weeks ago a party of Indians crossed over the river 10 this side, between Redmond’s Ranch and Laredo, and passed over towards the coast. They were pur- sued by a party of troops from Ringgold Barracks, under Lieut. Jones, of the Mounted Rifles, bat having £O guide they lost the trail about a hundred miles trom Rio Grande city. The Indians carried off a great many good horses, killing their own as s90n as they got better ones, and swept up the country bs- iween Fort Ewell and Laredo and escaped ; they were sup) d to be about twenty or thirty in num- her, divided into several parties. Several Mexicans who were out mustanging were killed. Oxe of the yee was overtaken by Roque, the Indian guide, the north west of Fort Ewell, who succeeded in re- covering four or five horses ; they escaped with the rest of their plunder. Roque reports them to be Li- pans, from it the head waters of the Nueces. Senor Manuel Robles Pezuela, Colonel of Eagi- neers and Minister of War of the Republic of Mexico, arrived in Brownsville on the 26th ult., accompanied by an escort of U. 8. Riflemen. rs Flag says :— ‘¢ are informed that he will leave for New Orleans by the first ity, and that he intends goin; to Europe,’and in case the Russian difficuities ‘should not be settled, he will proceed to Turkey to witness the events there. We are advised that he has no convection with any revolutionary party in Mexico. In the Galveston News of the 4th instant, we find a letter, dated Brownsville, Oct. 14,1853, from which we extract the following items of news:— The steamer Grampus arrived last Satarday from Ringgold Barracks, and had on board one hundred anu ten infantry Un'ted States army for Fort Brown, This will, at present, make the effective forse at this station rome three hundred and fitty men, raok and fife. She brought no news, and reports things on both sides of the line as tranquil as the bosom of an unroffled sea. On the night of the 11th an express arrived at Matamoras with despatches for Col. Craz, who com- mands the line, and forthe collector of the port. The eollector is required to furnish the general government with fifty thousand dollars monthly— thirty thousand for the etationed in Tamauli- pas, and t thonsand the forces under Am- , otal in Nuevo Leon, making in the ag- gregate thesum of one hundred thousand dollars month. How this can be done you can better fineging when I Jaform you tho amount of revenue | ing the | of the petitioners, Indeed, I collected is not sufficient to meet the demands of the Cust: in honse establ'shment. The sar express brought the intelligence that Gen. A ‘3 ex-Minister of War and , Don Manuel | bles, bad escaped from Monclova, his yece of kanishment; where, under the peat of jeath, dered » he was to have remained until otherwise or- by the Mexican Sultan. The ex-minister, itis said, started for San Antonio, in Texas, from which place be will doubtless go to New Orleans or Havana, go a8 to be on the vive, and watch a safe oppor- tunity for rel to , without havin, to ieee Santa reas ene . 9 The Indians are Soamlting fearful rava; Nuevo Leon and Coahuila, while the renowned Gen. | Ampudia, who in 1844, butchered the chivalrous and unfortunate General Sentmanat, in Tabasco, remains upmoved at Monterey, alleging that he is in want of both men and means with which to pursue these American Arabs. A A ig to Congress has recently been put in circulation, preying te the removal of the custom house from Point Isabel to this sity; and consider- eographical and other advantages that Brownsville presents over the former place, it is highly probable that Con; will grant the Prayer cannot conceive what well founded objections can be raised to the proposed measure, if the interests of the mercantile community and others be taken into consideration. In my last I mentioned the arrival at Matamoras of some three uandred thousand dollars, in specie, from the interior; and with all the vigilance of the custom house officials, the whole amount, with the exception of some twelve hundred dollars that were captured, has been smugglei out of the country, and Mexico has thus a proof of the benefits accruing out of her high tariff.

Sup Coxmisyst.—The following are the particulars of the disaster to this vessel, which arrived at Liverpool from this port in distress:—-The Continent was lying to on tie morning of the dts: ult, ina heary gale from WW, whicb, shifting suddenly to NNW, laid her in the trough of the sea, when she was suddenly boarded by a heavy sea, from the main rigging to the taffrail, which stove in her bulwarke, skylights, and compsnionways, swept away the wheelhouse and everything contained in it, all the beets except, the longbost, split: the planksbare to the length of sixty feet, the chaem being in many parts & foot wide; she was now rapidly filling, when by loovening the fore topsail she was got before the wind, with her leeward toprail still under water. She came to the wind on the other teck; but as the sea was breaking heavily over was fezced to be kept off On sounding pumps, nine feet of water was found in the kold, and more than four in the between decks. The puiops were s0 choked with grain as to be useless in their then posi- tion, One was hoisted and fixed in the forehold, when it was efficiently worked by the crew and some of’ the pas- sergers; previously to this a portion of the cargo was th:owncverboaré to enabla the pump to reach the water. Tue condition of the passengers at this time. was traly deplorable, and s ship, which proved to bethe Philan throist, appearing in right, was bailed with enthu- siastic delight. The Philanthropist was unable from the roughness of the sea to render immediate assistance, but her, and next morning vent a boat with the chief ofiicer as near as she could with vafety, 10 say that she would remain till the sea moderated, and then take sengers ard crew cn board. The pump was, in the me time, working well, and next morning there was not more than seven feet cf water in her forehold, The boat again went alongride, and the chief officer went on board to render the promired aid ; but as the ship was considered out of canger he returned, and the Philanthropist was soon lost to right; but te humanity of the captain sug- gested to him that he might have possibly forgotten whether he had ascertained the supply of provisions and ®aier ip the Continent ; he accordingly put back, and sent bis boat again, when ¢ second ofier was made to the pasrengers of leaving, of which offer twenty-five availed themselves ; the Continent then pursued her course, and reached Liverpool without further accident. One of the most experienced shipmasters in Groat Britain expressed surprise and admisation at her reachivog land, after he hadexamined the damages which she had sustained, Capt. Drummond publiely acknowledges in warm terms bis gratitude to Capt. Wilson, of the Philanthropist, and the pasrengers of the Continent on their arrival at’ Liv- erpoc] presented Capt. Drummond with » testimonial expressive of their gratitude to himself and all his off cers for their kindnens and attention in the midst of 40 great dangers.
