Although the arrival of the Baltic places us in pos- seasion of one week’s later dates from Europe, the news which she brings may be summed up in a few short paragraphs. Of intelligence from the seatof war there is absolutely nothing. Inthe Crimea and Asia Minor things remain in statu quo, whilst in the Baltic the campaign seems to be over, some of the mortar vessels having already returned to Eng. and. There is a rmmor that the Emperor Alexan- der was present incognito at the battle of the Tchernaya. One of our correspondents states that he is expected at Vienna, on his way to the Crimea. The notification given by our government to that of Denmark, of the termination of the treaty of 1826, which takes place next summer, an dof its in- tention to resist the payment of Sound dues there- after, forms at the present moment an important subject of discussion on the European continent. The Paris papers comment upon the subject at great tength. While they at admit the justice of the principle contended for by the United States—to wit: that all seas, interior and exterior, should be free to all flags; that there should be no such thing as a mare clausum—still they all deem the time for raising this question to be inopportune while Eu_ vope has so many other matters of graver conse- quence to attend to. The Pays intimates that we should wait until the close of the Eastern war, and that then a peace congress would settle this and all other international questions in dispute. From the reply of the Danish Cabinet to the Ameri- can Minister at Copenhagen, it will be seen that an- less our treaty with that government is renewed, our vessels are to be treated on the same footing asthose of non-favored nations—that is to say, unless we take the remedy into our own hands, and refuse to pay the Sound toll, which is, undonbtedly, what we shall do. The King of Naples is getting into such disfavor with his subjects that there is a talk of dethroning him and replacing the Murat dynasty. If so, one of our countrywomen, the Princess Murat, will be Queen of Naples. ‘Things look badly for the prospects of the present government in Spain. The Carlists continue their imsurrectionary movements in such a systematic manner that it is evident they are the result of some vast and well organized plan. In the meanwhile, the government itvelf is rapidly falling into con- tempt. The friends of Narvaez, supported by Louis Napoleon, are conspiring to secnre his return to Mad- rid as dictator, and it is not improbable they may succeed. A frightful disaster, attended with loss of life and serious if not fatal injury to some dozen persons, happened on the New York Central Railroad, near West Albany, yesterday morning. It appears that through the negligence of a switch tender, the pas- senger train from Buffalo for Albany ran into a cat- tle train, smashing the locomotive, tender, and first passenger car of one, and the two rear cars of the other, into fragments. One of the latter was filled with animals, many of which were killed. The wounded passengers, mangled and dead cattle, broken bag- gage and debris of the cars and machinery, mingled together in one indistinguishable mass, presented a scene altogether indescribable. An account of the collision, with the names of the dead and wounded, may be found elsewhere. ‘The Maseachusetts fusion State Convention}met at Worcester yesterday, and nominated Julius Rock- well for Governor on the first formal ballot. The present Lientenant Governor, Treasurer and Auditor, were re-nominated. 1. R. Hoar was nominated for Attorney General. Strong anti-slavery resolutions were adopted. The convention, composed of a mix- ture of Know Nothings, whigs, frce soilers, and a sprinkling of democrats, but all thoroughly impreg- nated with abolitionism, numbered about one thou- sand delegates, and was presided over by Hon. N. P. Banks, Know Nothing member of Congress. The frauds committed on the Harlem Railroad Company by their former Secretary and transfer clerk, Alexander Kyle, are likely to eventnate in a significant and serious manner for that institution. Yesterday an action, at the snit of Drake & Co., brokers, was tried, for the sum of $25,000, advanced by them on five hundred and sixty shares of stock placed in their hands by Kyle, and bearing on their face the impress of authenticity and correctness. ‘The company subsequently refused to ackuowledge ‘the legality of the shares, and would not consent to transfer the stock so negotiated by their whilome agent, though it appears that he had transacted busi- ness in shares with another Wall street house to the amount of $800,000 during the six months previous to the discovered frauds. This, it was contended, was a very Ioore way of doing business; and the jury thought there was much negligence on the part of the company in allowing an officer on # salary of $1,200 a year to have such unlimited control over their immenve stock, and gave a verdict for the plaintiffs for the amount claimed, together with interest. The Board of Heaith met yesterday, and took up Tor consideration the report of the special committee in favor of repealing the ordinance recently passed imposing quarantine upon vessels arriving from Southern ports. After an exciting debate the re- port was rejected by a vote of fourteen yeas to twen- ty-two nays. The importance of the question before the Board attracted a large number of spectators, ‘The Board of Supervisors last evening merely re- ceived and referred three petitions and then ad- journed. The Board of Aldermen met Jast evening. We give a report of the proceedings, which presents no feature of special interest, in another eolamn, We give elsewhere an account of the mysterions death of a woman of the town, named Amanda Cooke, who is suppozed to have committed suicide by taking laudanum. There are rmors of foul play in connection with this sad affair,and one of the coroners is thoroughly investigating the ciroum- stances of the case. The epidemic continnes at Norfolk, with scarcely # sign of abatement. On Tuesday there were thirty. eight deaths and fifty new cases. ‘The fever has re- coutly made its appearance at Vicksburg: and it is stated that the disease prevails in nearly every town contiguous to the Mississippi river.

It will probably turn out to be merely an attempt on the part of the negro sympathizers, to re-open the case in behalf of the couvicted parties. The Railroad Commissioners, after due investiga- tion, have made their report as to the cause of the disaster on the Stonington Railroad ou the 3d inst. They state that they are forced to the conclusion that the accident was occasioned by the want of repair of the road. Travellers should avoid all roads not kept in repair. The foreign news yesterday had a tendency to unsettle the market for cotton. Holders of consid- erable lots demanded about previous rates, while buyers refused to meet them without some conces- sion in prices. The sales, in small parcels, em- braced about 500 bales, one-half of which was sold to spinners at irregular prices. Flour improved about 6Jc. a 124. per barrel, with pretty free sales, including parcels for export and for future delivery. Sound good wheat was in good demand, and 2c. or 3c. per bushel higher. Corn closed at about 87c. a 874c. Pork was inactive and prices easier. There was a rather better feeling in sugar. The sales em- braced about 400 hhds. and 600 boxes. Coffee was quiet. The ship room for ports to Great Britain was reduced, while there was more offering. Grain and flour were pretty freely engaged for Liverpool and London at rates given in another column. A vessel of about 600 tons was chartered for London, to load with oil cake, at £1,700. The News from Europe—General hnbroglio. Matters in Europe are fast approaching a tangle which it will puzzle the acutest intel- lects to unravel, and will probably in the end require to be cut with the sword, so far as the present belligerents are concerned. It is plain enough, notwithstanding all that is said by the British press, that the quarrel between France and Russia is growing more difticnlt to settle every day. The capture of Sebastopol is evidently as distant as ever. According to the most reliable letters from the camp, the event next in order will be a repetition of the battle of Traktir Bridge. On thp other hand, the position of the Russians is far from enviable, We glean from the occasional let- ters which have appeared in print from Ameri- can surgeons in the city that the sufferings of . the besieged from the incessant fire of the Allies are almost intolerable. They will be largely increased during the next bombard- ment, for which the Allied artillery are now accumulating material, During the winter the garrison can hardly hope to escape being put on short allowance. When it is remem- bered that every pound of grain required for their subsistence has to be carted in the com- mon country carts drawn by oxen for several hundred miles, and that the number of mouths to feed cannot fall short of 100,000, it will be seen that Napoleon’s prediction is not base- less, and that if the Allies are foiled in their hope of taking the city, they may at least console themselves with the “reflection that they are inflicting as much damage on the enemy as if it were already in their power. In the Baltic, the Sweaborg farce, which even according to the English accounts, has now dwindled down to the destruction of several dwelling houses, the Governor's residence, and a magazine, may probably be regarded as the closing operation of the season. The fleets will return unscathed to their confiding coun- try, which maintains them at a trifling expense of $150,000 per day, and in all probability some new officer will be appointed to sacrifice himself next year in the room of Dundas, The net result of the whole will be to con- firm Russia in her opinion of her own inval- nerability; and—as it cannot be expected that the Allies will yield, at all events until they have been once thoroughly beaten, which does not seem likely—to render the continnance of the war for another year a matter of certainty. But the Russian war is only a small portion of the troubles in store for Europe, It is now certain that Spain is on the eve of a fresh convulsion. Accounts apparently well authen- ticated state that conspiracies are rife in the Provinces, some designed to aid the Carlist cause, others to promote the elevation of Nar- vaez (oan unconstitutional rank, It is said that Napoleon is concerned with the latter; that he is convinced of the instability of the Espartero Cabinet, and, as his uncle interfered to quiet Spain when Charles [V. and his son quarrelled, so he intends to interfere on behalf of Isabella. It appears certain that the tripartite ance has definitely gone into effect, and that Spain will send men to the Crimea in the course of a few months, in con- sideration of a loan of several millions, In olden time such a transaction would have been put in the honest shape of a subsidy to Spain. Now-a-days, Castilian pride demurs at figuring in so mercenary a light; the money is said to be a Joan, and it is shrewdly conjectured that the borrower, being hopelessly bankrupt at home, without credit, resources, railways or trade, has mortgaged her colonial possessions once more as security. If this be true—and it seems plausible—here is trouble enough for Enrope for one half century, The Kingdom of Naples is likewise on the brink of revolution. King Bomba, as he is popularly called, has goaded his subjects to madness by a series of acts of tyranny. Trae to the hereditary policy of his family—who never had any sense at all—this foolish monarch has followed blunder by blunder, un- til the state of the polished Kingdom of Na- ples reminds us of what we read of the mogt debased of Eastern sotrapies, Men have been incarcerated for a look, and scourged, actual- ly scourged in this nineteenth century for a speech, The King dare not show his face in public. He hides, it is said, like a man who knowing the Neapolitan character sees an ene- my in every human figure, and a dagger under every cloak, An insult to a British subject has induced Lord Palmerston to send a few ships to Naples: it seems very likely that the people will take advantage of their presence torise in revolt. Rumor says that another chip of the Napoleon btock-—young Murat— is likely to be the favorite man with the peo- ple when they rise, Finally, in the language of Napoleon, Eu- rope cannot remain an indifferent spectator to the crisis now pending in Denmark. The go- vernment of that happy little kingdom having choked off the chambers and the constitution, has replied to Mr. Bedinger, as every one knows, to the effectethat they are very sorry the United States think of refusing to renew the treaty, as the effect of such refusal will be to exclude American ships from the Baltic. No one who knows Gen. Pierce can donbt but his answer to this will he modelled on the speeches in Homer, with a glance at the orations of Shak- speare's martial heroes; in a word, that he will threaten Denmark with instant demolition if a single American ship is delayed. In view of this prospect—which seems to be, pretty well understood at Parise an article bas appeared in the Paris Cynstitutionnel which is understood to have been inspired from the Tuileries. “In principle (en principe’) says this perform ance, “European diplomacy would inevitably pronounce against the United States, in the eventuality of war between them and Den- mark. * * Thereasoning of Denmark cer- tainly does not lack value.” This is the Em- peror’s view: a pretty plain one, so far as the United States are concerned, and no very bad key to the bold answer of the Danes to Mr. Bedinger. It is impossible to say how so wretched an administration as ours may deal with the mat- ter. But, whatever is done on this side the water, it appears plain that Europe is on the verge of a volcanic eruption such as it has never known, If, as seems not impossible, Napoleon is at the bottom of the movements in Spain and Italy, if he contrives to embroil himself with the United States on the Danish or the Cuba question, as he has embroiled himself with Russia on that of the christians in Turkey, his biography will find a larger space in the history of Europe than any for- mer sovereign, not excluding his uncle. Tue Repup1icaNn MEETING IN THE TABERNACLE anp its Distursers.—At the republican mass meeting held in the Tabernacle on Wednesday evening last, there was a very weak and petty attempt made at disturbance, in which a gen- tleman named Henderson allowed himself to be put forward by the oppositionists, The Tribune and Times represent this person as one of the reporters of the Hrrarp. We unquali- fiedly deny the statement. We understand, how- ever, that he is a pupil of the Zribune school— that he has been for years connected with that paper asa reporter; and we presume that the eccentricities developed by him the other night were owing to this fatal connection. Gon in THE GapspEN Country.—It is now re- ported that the Gadsden desert is full of gold and silver mines and washings, commonly known as “ dry diggings.” Dry enough, we guess, they will prove to be. Is this a feeler for another Gadsden treaty? Santa Anna has left an empty treasury behind him, and his successors must pawn or sell something to raise the wind. We suspect, therefore, that there reported gold discoveries in the Gadsden purchase will result in another haul of ten or twenty millions from our surplus in the sub- treasury, if Guthrie can be humbugged. Nous verrons, Gey. Wess Becowye Luxewarm.—The en- thusiasm of our Chevalier James Watson Webb, when he first came out for the Seward fusion- ists, was boundless, He was even ready to go for Garrison for President and Fred Douglass for Vice President, in order to restore the Mis- souri black line.

The Late Affray at the St. Nicholas, In our report in the Hrnatp of the 17th inst., in refe- rence to the late unfortunate affray at the St. Nicholas Hotel, we stated that— Captain Wright was in the Texan navy all throngh the war between that country and Mexico, "He distingushed himself on many occasions, and displaged great bravery. When but a young man of twenty, he commanded a small vessel named the James Bowie, in which ship, with a crew of about thirty men, he took a Mexican ‘sloop-of- war, with two Lundred and fifty men on board, * * © He also commanded two other vessels, and Com. Moore speaks in the highest terms of his bravery. We are cretibly informed that Captain Wright was not in the Texan navy at any tine while Commodore Moore was in command of it, which was from early in 1839 to the consummation of the annexation of Texas in 1846; nor was there any such vessel as the James Howie in the Texan navy. There was Francis B. Wright, a Lieutenan in the Texas navy, now deceased. There wus also a Capt Wright, commander of several steamers pl New Orleans and e years after. He is now a steamship owner and commander in California. Capt. J.J.

BY MAGNETIC AND PRINTING TELEGRAPHS, Massachusetts Republican Convention. FUSION NOMINATIONS FOR STATE OFFICERS. Worcestmn, Sept. 20, 1853. ‘The Republican (or fusion) State Convention was largely attended to-day, over 1,000 delegates being present from ail parts of the State, including several ex-whig meanders of Congress, several Know Nothing Congressmen, Senator Wilson and many of the rank and file of the late whig, free soil and Know Nothing parties. The Hon. N. P. Banks was chosen President, with a long list of vice presidents and secretaries, Richard H. Dana, Jr., (free soil,) was chosen Chairman of the Com" mittee on Resolutions. After passing a vote that, to avoid cheating, each dele- gate should write his name and residence upon his vor for a vandidate for Governor, the convention adjourned for dinner.

Gardner was connected with this movement? ‘A... BrewsiEn, of Boston, amidst applause, laughter and hisses, defended Governor Gardner as a true anti- slavery man, who had as clear a record on that subject as any one in Massachusetts, He was followed J.Q. A. Grivri, an ultra free soil law- yeur of Charlestown, who, amidst much confusion, pro- ecoded to argue that Mr. Gardner was not the man to re- ceive the nomination of the convention. Aformal ballot for candidate for Governor was then taken. Hon, Julius Rockwell had 6 votes, over all others and about 0 over Gardiner, A motion to make the nomination unanimous had afew scattering nays. The present Lieutenant Governor, Treasurer and ‘Auditor were nominated for re-election by acclamation. E. R.

Yesterday was the commencement of the fall season, and it passed off with more than the usual brilliancy and cclat that characterize these festivals of fashion. The weather was all that could be desired, cool and bright. Nature was in her most propitious mood, and everything conspired in favor of the great event. All that skill and ingenuity could do to renler it successful was done—in- vention was taxed to its uttermost, combinations and contrasts lent to it their peculiar charms; and the result was a display that Paris might be proud of. True, a great deal of the fascinating trifles on display were un- doubiedly French—they might be known a. once by their ornate, exaggerated style; but the greater portion were the results of American genius, and even the genuine Varis made article had to be modified and toned down to suit the tastes of our New York belles, So, on the whole, the display was gratifying to national vanity, and gave a ovetaste of tige good time coming when New York will be the Paris of the Western world, In one respect the coming season will be a fac simile of the past; there is no return to simplicity; dresses are as magnificent and expensive as ever, and trimmings as lavishly profuse, Indeed, the cost of the little elegant trifles thet make up a fashionable lady's outfit would Pocket hand- kerchiefs at one hundred nd twenty dollars, and lace sets at sixty-five, are to us what the bone of an extinct ani- mal was to Cuvier, data by which to calculate the ex- raise a doubt in the bosom of credulity. pense of the whole.

Bonnets are still worn small in the front, and ao close to the face that the fall inside trimming has the effect of aborder, The crowns, whether oval or soft—and fashion, more tolerant than usual, admits both—dro»p comsidera- bly, and are profusely trimmed with double capes and falls of lace more or Jess pointed. We have never seen such bold and striking contrasts as is produced by the combination of colors used this season. Black and white, cherry color, and blue, searletand lavender, and others equally peculiar, attract attention by their marked and startling originality. Fruits, flowers, cereals, feathers, ribbons and laces, form ‘the outward flourishes."’ The flowers, which are of all sizes, from the tiniest moss rose bud to the stately fleur-de-lis, are generally of velvet, and the ribbons are barred or dotted with the same ma- terial, or edged with fringe or imitations of lace so deli- cately correct as to deceive the unpracticed observer. ‘The mixture of black and white lace on the same hat is still popular, and justly so, for the effect is at once bold and pleasing. The greatest novelties of the season are bats embroidered with chenille and bugles. These reyuire Jess trimmings than the other styles, and the rich sim- plicity of the style is very attractive. One very pretty hat, formed of white silk embossed with black velvet, we must describe:—The crown was flat and transparent, and from the centre proceeded In alternate circles cordings of white silk and black velvet edged with blonde, A cape of white blonde fell like a mist over the dotted under cape, and black and white ostrich feathers inter- mingled graced both sides, A very full ruche of white tulle edged with black blonde, and # cluster of brilliant cherry colored flowers, formed the inside trimming, and around the front of the hat the border turaed inwards and the painted edge resting on the ruche was a fall oy rich white Ince. Another, of dark blae satin, with broad bands of black velvet running both ways, a double cape anda fall of Chantilly lace, deep in the cautre and nar- rowing at the ides, deserves mention. The outside trim ming was black and blue feathers intermingied, and the inside, blue velvet flowers and the white lilies of Francs, A very clegant hat of black velvet, embroidered with ba- gles, the crown covered with afanchon sitailerly ornameat- ed, was exhibited at one of the leading esto)! onts, as also the two beautiful hats we have end vred to de: scribe, In the same establishment are hats of various colors, covered with a network of blactavelvet and a very pretty novelty in the way of trimming ior children’s hats, called a marabout ruche. This i placed on thy outside of the hat, and carried rownd the curtat: nd the soft swaying motion imparted to it by the faintest breath of air has a charming effect, and renders #t pecw- liarly appropriate for youth. Genta opens this season with some very beautiful combinations. One hat, formed of green silk, overlaid with black lace, embroidered with green chenille and straw in very tasteful designs, at once arrests attention. The face trimmings of glowing crimson flowers, and white and cherry colore ribbons, contrast with and relieve the sombre beauty of the outside. Ano- ther, still more beautifal, was composed of white eflk co. yered with white crape, glistening with starry embroi- dery; a deep fold of corn colored silk ran round the edge of the hat and curtain inside and out, breaking through the monotony of the white, and looking like a gleam of sunlight upon enow. Marabout feathers, corn color and white made vp the outside trimming, and exquisitely natural wheat ears adorned the inside. Another of steel colored moire antique, trimmed with black lace and gorgeous crimson flowers, and another of dark velvet with pendant bunches of acorns, were con- splenously elegant. HEAD DRESSES. Head dresses are made of the same materials as hereto- fore, but so arranged as to have the effect of novelty, The coiffeur & UImpératricr, struck us as being particularly elegant. It is formed of lace, disposed in sucha manner as to resemble the present style of wearing the hair in rolls. Over this puffing pass crossway innumerable rows of narrow black velvet edged with b'onde, which are lost underneath amid the folds of the hair. Clusters of tra‘l- ing flowers are attached to the back and fall in bright profusion over the shoulders. In another style the crown ié formed by @ braid of crimson velvet, a band of the same material passes over the hair about two Inches above the forehead and holds it securely in its place; bove se blonde lappety are ostrich feathers, and on acker, bridal wreaths, Mre. Marcy, millinery, &e., each side are mastes of smal! bright flowers like the yer- bena blossom, A head dress formed of white blonde and blue ribbon, plaited in braids about an inch wide, which went winding in and out amid the cloud-like lace in mazy regularity, was remarkable fox its simple beauty. The * cache peigne,” a very pretty style, with a very inappropriate name, is composed of bows upon bows of ribbons arranged in the shape of « wreath, and serves rather to surrround than to conceal the comb, Others are formed exclusively of flowers, delicate spring blossoms, and glowing autumnal ones or stately exotics, and humble wild flowers interblent in Jarge gold pins, from which depend chains and balls of the same costly material. MOURNINGS. ‘The mourning for the coming season is distinguished for the richness and variety of the materials, and the grave yet graceful elegance of the different styles. Purple, which was lately looked upon with disfavor as an inno- vation, and used sparingly in consequence, has gradually worked its way into public favor, and is now recognized as one of the genuine hues of griel. This is to be attributed not only to the beauty and becomingness of the color, but to its possessing the rare quality of contrasting and harmonizing with the standard mourning colors, black and white. This it por- seases in common with lavender, but its greater depth of color gives it an incalculable advantage over the older but Jers brilliant favorite, For deep mourning, which rejects all light shades as jealously as deep grief rejects all consolation, we have seen bombazines of the finest texture, a very rich kind of corded silk, called ducabe, and the lustreless silk barathea, a fabric eminently suited forthe purpose. For lighter mourning we have seen very elegant flounced brocade robes on a ground of purple lavender, ashes of roses, white and black, that was su- perb, From the mourning hats on exhibition in Bartho- lomew’s, we select a tew remarkable for their beauty. The Rachel Pauline is made of heavy English crape, and trimmed in the inside with bows of the same description. A fall of crape, almost large enough for a demi-veil, is at~ tached to the hat, and flung back over the cape, adding still more to the gloomy and funereal character of the whole. Another yery pretty hat was composed of silk, ribbed with velvet; a fall of lace, embroidered with. straw, was thrown backwards from the edge over the- hat; the cape, trimmed with straw embroidered lace, was slightly elevated on ono side, to give room for a bow of moire antique ribbon, and on the other side was a feather, tipped with straw. The chenille embroidery mentioned in connection with the other hats, is found in mourning establishments also, and enters largely into the composition of mourning bonnets. The ‘Rachel’? is. a beautiful specimen of this kind, The foundation of purple silk is overlaid with black lace, elaborately em- broidered with purple chenille and bugles, and loops of chenille carried round the edge of the hat and curtain. impart to ita finished look. A bow of broche chenille ribbon is inserted under the curtain, and feathers tipped with purple chenille complete the outside adornments. DRESSES. The most prominent feature in the dresses for this sea- son is the prodigality of trimming, Everything is trim- wed—tlounces, basques, bretelles and sleeves. Of these: sarne trimmings we have a most bewildering variety— moire antique, velyet, plush, fringe, ribbon and lace, We would venture to assert that flounces would be the only style this season but for the vision of moire antique and rich heavy striped eflks that rise upbraidingly before us. We have seen some brocade flounces which are most exquisite—bouquets of Rowers, of the most brilliant hues, contrasting beautifully with black, purple, or dark blue of the main body of the silk. Arabesque patterns of the most ingenious devices and stripes of all widths, some varied with polka spots or other small figures between the stripes, and others ap- pealing confidently to public favor on the ground of sim- plicity and trusting to the unadorned stripe alone. Basques are in fashion still and in as great favor as at the commencement of their brilliant career, Nothing as yet has shaken their supremacy—even the stereotyped instability of fashion has been ineffectual against them. We have a charming novelty in the corsage bretellex, or braces passing over the shoulder, and extending back. and front to the waist, sometimes falling below it, in square lappets. They are frequently split on the shoul- der, and invariably narrow as they approach the waist. ‘They give full scope for the display of trimming, which, as we mentioned before, is a marked feature in the pre- stent style, There is alvo another novelty in the corsage, called the Joan d’Arc. Itisa light fitting plain waist, high to the throat, with rows of buttons, and open at the bottom, in the vest or gilet style. There ix also another style of waist trimming whieh is more boeoming and suitable to some figures than the bretelle. It is called the- demi-breelle, or bretelle cape, which forms a bretlla n front, but instead of reaching to the waist, it sweeps gracefully round the shoulders, forming a cape. ‘This style we would not recommend toa round shoul- dered person. Sleeves—Fashion has not been very rigor- ous or despotic in this particular. She has mereifally al- Jowed us quite a number of styles to choose from. We will particularize a few of the most charming. The dou- ble bell is a very pretty style of sleeve—n plain shoulder piece three inches deep, with two full frills. ‘This is suitable for a plain dress. Then we have a much. more stylish sleeve, of which the old-fashioned flowing sleeve was a very imperfect type. The outsile is open to the shoulder, which is trimmed with lace velvet or fringe, and closed with bows of ribbon. There is still another, which we cannot omit, It is the flowing sleeve shape, but from the elbow down there is a fulness laid on which is made into Lovillonnces by perpendicular lines of velvet, plush, or moire antique. BALL DRESS. Pall dresses are made of pink and white tarletane, with alternate flounces of each color. It has a most beautiful and wrial appearance. The sleeves are formed of two frills, one while, the other pink. The corsage is low and pointe, anda deep fall of lace almost covers it; = vonquet of pink and white rose buds completes the dress, which, for lightness and beauty, is far superi- or to either silic or savin for ball dres We have seen another, which is a worthy rival of the above. It is made of white and pale blue turletane, with alternate flounces of blue aud white like the other, but with this difference, that the head of each flounce ix pulled, and through these louilonnees gleam ribbons of a different color. In the white flounce we have the Due ribbon, and in the blue flounce the white, which appears at intervals in bows and Jong flowing ends. The corsage is low and trimmed en Uretelle; the sloeves short, and lo op With bine and white ribbon, We have seen, at one of the leading bazaars in Broad- way, the following elegant glacé—A wedding dress of white silk, almost covered with two deep flounces of point lace, each flounce trimmed with a quilling of broad white satin ribbon—the same trimming also at the head of the flounce, The corsage low, and entirely covered with point lace, forming teteltes back and front; sleeves short, of point Ineo, looped up with flowers. A veil of point lace falls over the shoulder, and is looped up with # bunch of orange blossoins at one side, A wreath of the same bridal blossom encircles the head, and white satin slippers, with extcaordinarily high heels, completes this elegant wedding dress. CHILDREN’S CLOTHING. sare to be seon at a leading Hroadwey hazear, from the infant's embroidered long robe to the boy's fn) dress cloth suit. One very pretty syle, combining richness with stmplicity, wax a blouse of brown moire untique, suficiently open in front to dis- play a richly embreidered undershirt. The sleeves wore flowing ond gathered on the outside through their entire length, the fullness being drawn in by a broad band of black velvet that extended from the edgo to the shoulder aad on this bend were disposed buttons so light and deli- cate that they looked like gilded fret work. The fullnegs ‘ound the waist was drawn in by a cord and tassels of binck silk, Fmbrotdered velvet pants and hat of brown elt, with drooping feather, completed this charming cos- ume. Around the edge of the hat wasa quilling of brown satin ribbon, from which sprung at intervale a feathery tuft of the same color, producing a charming and novel effect. Another, for a grown boy, maie of the mont delicate shade of ashes of roses and trimmed with silk braid, worked in quaint patterns, wna exeocd- ingly elegant, The sleeves were slashed and connected by a net work of silk cord, and the dress was completed: by @ cape which could be taken off at pleasure. This cape was eiged with # broad border of variegated plash, that looked at once striking and distingue, LACES. There is no article of ladips’ wear on which euch vast ems of money can be expended as on laces, and none on which feminine taste better loves to display itsell. And it must be confessed there isa strange fascination in these filmy fabrics that look like snowy clonds, or wreaths of mist, or ocean spray, or anything transparent and un- substantial. Nothing can be better suited for trimming dresses than lace, and accordingly we find it universally used for ball and evening dresses. For these purpose the varions kinds of point lace are in high favor. We have seen a charming novelty in lace, which will ui silk, and a robe of moire antique in alternate stripes of the dark groundwork of° Deautiful contusion, These wreaths are fastened with | ce ~ see ;
