We pabiish elsewhere a number of interesting let- I matters, Our Richmond corres- sent us a fall report of a speech receuc delivered in that city by ex-Governor William Smith; we have, however, condensed it into a space witnin reading limits. He shows the goo and bad peints of the several Presidential cand dates, ani proves to bis own satisfaction that M~. Baebanan i best nag in the field. He pitches wight into Botts, althongh he intimates that tho Know Nothing party may come up and support the @emocratic candicate. The chief point of the speech, Bowever, is the declaration that the South can gire ‘the law to the Union aa long as it exists. Letters from our correspondents at London, Paris and Berlin, tocether with extracts from our iiles of Prench papers, treating of the recent financial erisis im Europe, are given in today’s paper. The As- semblic Netionale, of the 7th instant, states thatthe semi-ofiicial orcan of the Spanish Ministry—La+ Majas Avtogrefes—iclicves that the government has decided to require from Mexico the entire falfil- ment of the treaties ting between the two na tioms.

We give in another colamn a summary of the news from Mexico up to the J0th ult. The law of desu mortization was being vizorously enforced, and the walue of property already confiscated lyy it exceeded 96500 000. There had been no definite intelligence ftvom Vidawirri and his revolution. We give alsoa wanslation of President Comonfort's procalamation en the occasion of the thirty-fifch anniversary of the eecupation of Mexico by the army of independence. ‘The items are of considerable interest. From the West Qoast of Africa we have advices dated at Old Colabar 29th and ot Auguet, Bonny Sd, Lagos 6th, Coast %th, Liberia 13th, and Sierra Leone 1*th of September. At Old Calabar trade was brisk. In consequence of the ill treatment of a ship's master by the natives, the Europeans had sent to Fer nando Po a vessel of war to make inquiries. er- nando Po, Cameroons, Lonny, Accra and Caps Coast Castle were heaithy. Much rain had fallen at Liberia, Sierra Leone and Bathurst, bat those colonies were healthy.

Allletters and packages intended for the United States African equadron, &c., will be forwarded if deposited on or before the above day. Onur correspondent at St. Croix, writing on the 19th alt., says that there is a great excitement pre- al St. Domingo and Mexico. It was the epinion that Spain would annex Hayti, and that Mexico could become a vice royalty, or a kingdom tor one of the Bonapertes. Two French and two English frigates, bound from St. Themes for San Jaan del Norte, had touched at St. Croix. ,Basiness was very dull, bot the island was quite healthy. The growing crops looked well, and gave promise of an abundant yield. We learn that A.C. Peabody, Hsq., has accepted the appointment of Justice of the Supreme Court, tendered him by (overnor Clark. The committee of citizens of Brooklyn, who beve for some weeks had cader consideration the subject of presenting Mayor Hall with a testimonial, as an acknowledgment of his services during the preva tence of yellow fever in that city last summer, are understood to have agreed upon reqnestiag his ac ceptance of a house and lot worth ten thonsand dol jars. The necessary funds have already been «uly weribed. The value of foreign goods imported at the port | of Boston dwing the week ending 24th instant amounted to $586.465. ‘The sales of cotton on Saturday embraced about 7,000 a 1,200 bales, without further change of mo ment in prices, which exhibited rather more steadt noss, Sales of flour were made to a fair extent, in cluding some lots for export, without change of conseqnence in quotations. Wheat was in rather better demand, with fair sales, including common Western red at $1 45, Indiaca prime do. at $1 60, amd common to prime Canadian white at «1 66 #173.

Pennsylvania and New Jersey Sold Out to Buchanan by Party Hucksteys and Lobby- men, Since the October Pennsylvania election we have detailed several intelligent special reporters from this office to that State, for the purpose of securing the best possible information in reference to the prospects of the Presidential election. From two of these Hrxaty Commissioners we have received the telegraphic advices from Har- risburg and Laneaster, which we publish else- where in this paper; and our numerous readers, of all parties, will find these despatches exceedingly interesting, instructive, suggestive and signifi- cant, Our report from Harrisburg presents us a rather gloomy picture of the prospects of the union ticket—our report from Lancaster is of a more cheerful character; but they both put in the foreground a separate Fillmore movement under the management of Forney and Horace H. Day, the India rnbber man, which is of the blackest description. fn all probability this outside Penn- sylvania Fillmore ticket, supported by Forney, Day, (the India rubber man.) and the Washington lobby, will settle the question in the election of Buchanan, Whether it is done by one hundred votes or a thousand or two, or several huadred thousand, the result will be the same; for. if this outside Fillmore ticket can carry off a sufficient number of opposition votes in Pennsylvania and New Jersey to give those States to Buchanan, he will be elected, certain and sure. In 1814 and in 1848 the Presi- dential election turned upon the vote of New York. In the first instance a few additional votes over five thousand would have made Henry Clay President; and yei, in consequence of fifteen thousand opposition votes being thrown away vpon Birney-—an outside candidate—Col. Polk and his party won the prize. In 1818 the popular vote cast against Gen. Taylor in New York, would, if united, have been sufficient to defeat him by a handsome majority; but the out- side ticket of Martin Van Baren and his free soil plattorm carried off one half the democracy of the State, and thus was Gen. Cass defeated. With Pennsylvania and New Jersey the de- cision rests in this great battle; and. from present appearances, the outside ticket of Millard Fill- more will be as effective in these States in 15, in tavor of Buchanan as was Birney in behalf of Polk or Van Buren in behalf of Taylor, with re- gard to the vote of New York. And what has produced this discordant state of things among the opposition ranks, exactly where the necessity of union is the strongest, in order to defeat thecom- mon enemy? Our Pennsylvania correspoudents, in the premises, in avery graphic manner detail the difficulties of the opposition as they now exist in that State; but these troubles began with the Philadelphia Fremont Convention, and with the Seward and Johnston factions of that body. The nomination of Dayton, instead of Johnston, as the Fremont candidate for Vice-President, was a mistake, tor while Dayton has not been able to accomplish anything against Stock- ton in New Jersey. Johnston was in a position to eect at once a solid co-operation of the opposi- tion forces in Pennsylvania. But Johnston was superseded, and hence the trouble with him and with that New York North American George Law pocketbook conven- tion, The intrignes and lobby operations of Thurlow Weed, George Law, Horace H. Day, (the India rubber man,) Senderson of Philadelphia, Forney and others, Sewardites, George Law mer- ceparics, Fillmore Know Nothing traders, lobby- men and democratic brokers in bankrupt politi- cians, have all followed as the consequences of the nomipation of Dayton instead of Johnston. Thurlow Weed, after declaring that the con- vention which nominated Colonel Fremoat was an “ungovernable mob,’ was, in the way of tricke- ry, ready for anything. er Weed wanted Seward, Chase or Meccan, or any choice but the popular anti-Seward nomination of Fremont. But these Pennsylvania troubles are more par- ticwlarly due to the cold shoulder given by the opposition forees rema’ srganized and divided. while Johnston and h Yueh for a profitable capitulation: and thus, on eleetion day, with a majoriiy of forty thousand tos upon, the opposition State ticket failed of suceces Sree thousand votes. As the battle now stands, with the third party tieket of Fillmore and 1 pure and sim- plein the field in lennsy and New Jer- sey. all the probabilities of the clection justify m that loth those States will go cone lus for Bachanan; and it is not necessary to go furthe they will be quite enough to clect him. ‘Two thousand. one thousand, or five hun- dred votes for the Fillmore ticket—pure and simple—in J’cnnsylvania, may do the work, and we presume that at least a thousand votes have tias been drawn off from the union ticket hy the recent India rather and lobby operations of Day and Forney, to say nothing of San- der-on. We must not. however, omit a paseing allusion to the Filhnore clique of the city of New York. It is a most remarkable clique of unscrupulous peddlers, |t nominates candidates for Congres who have no visible means of support; and still .t has thousands of dollars to spare for India rubber operations in Pennsylvania, Jt tnrns pale with horror at the bare mention of the Pope of Rome, and yet it gets Into a conspiracy with the organ- grinder of Archbishop Hughes todamn Fremont as a deserter from the Ca church. This Fillmore clique of New York city does not stop even here, While it is raiving finds for India rubber con- tracts in Pennsylvania, it is selling out ite stock in trade #imwore and Nonelson and their Phila- m--to democrats and Irish Catho- ienefit of Brooks, the Fillmore can- Hea, for didate for Governor of New York. But enongh | of this, A division of the opposition forces in } New Jersey and Pennsylvania, withoat going further, upon two tickets, while the democracy | are concentrated por is enough fora pretty safe prediction of the result. We conclude, therefore, that nothing but a vio- | lent revolt of an indignant poople, who have teen so lasely betrayed by party hucksters, swindlers and -chet‘ag koaves—nothing but an indignant and overwhelming popular reaction in | Pennsylvania and New Jereey against the tricks ond treacherie Fillmorctte pol of hbwekstering Sewardite and “in prevent the success of | the scheme for the m of Buehouwa, with | id of the outside tic in Penneylvauia and | New Jersey of Pilimore and Donelson, Md game of Winn nd Van Buren. ! vote ; but each, in turning d his pur- ‘ihere i¢ a popalar majority Peunsylvania and Now Jersey against Bucha- nan, brt the opposition India rubber politicians | have bargained to throw it away ew ec elctton, accomplish re NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1856. ‘The Conspiracy between the Catholic Arch- bishop and Senater Breoks. We publish in another part of this paper the two famous or rather infamous letters from “John A, McMaster, Editor and Proprietor of the Freeman's Journal,” accusing Colonel Fre- mont of being a Catholic; also a letter from John Hughes, Roman Catholic Archbishop of New York, whining at the quickness with which the public saw through his disguise, and laid the biame of McMaster’s trash on his archepiscopal shoulders, We apprehend that the conspiracy which this correspondence shows us must exist between the rabid Protestant, Senator Erastus Brooks, and the rabid Catholic, the Archbishop of New York, for the defeat of Colonel Fremont, and the eleva- tion of—not Mr. Fillmore, he was sold out long go—but Mr, Buchanan to the Presidency, con- titutes one of the most startling features of this most extraordinary canvass. Tt was, certainly, an unusnal and a shameful thing for the religion of any candidate to be brought in question, To think that in the nine- ‘eenth century, in the country of all others where there are most schools and most books, and more newspapers, and where there ought to be most intelligence——in the only first rate nation where there is no distinction of creeds known, but the purest toleration prevails as a fundamental law of the land—to think that here, in the light of day, there should be a religious perseeution gotten up against a Presidential candidate, when the very name of such a retrogade step would create a storm of indignation in such countries as France, England, or Germany-—must bring the blush to the cheek of every patriotic citizen of the republic. At the very time that Spain (benighted Spain, as our parsons are pleased to call her,) is shaking off ber allegiance to the Pope, and France is endowing Protestant schools, and Sardinia is proclaiming universal toleration, the United States—prop pudor!—are stumbli backward, and public journals and public men are borrowing the bigoted language of the mid- die ages, and reviving the blind principles which kindled the fires of Smithfield, and set in motion the rack and the thumbecrews of the Inquisition. Everywhere else there is progress: here, seeming- ly, retrogression. Foreigners crow more enlight- ened; here, if the Brooks and Hughes plot sne- eveds, we shall seem to be growing denser. Hu- manity and common sense are gaining ground abroad; at home, they shall appear to be losing it. Then, what disgraceful spectacles and inei- dents this first commencement of disgrace in- volves! What can we say of the position into which the Archbishop is thrust? For him to tell us that he is innocent of the charges brought so coarsely and so brutally against Colonel Fre- mont by McMaster, is absurd. For, who is MeMaster, that he should write letters at all, that any newspaper would print, or any sane person read? Why, the man’s name would never haye been beard, but that he is known as the editor and _ proprie- tor of the Archbishop's organ. It is solely to his repute as the mouthpiece of the church of which the Archbishop is the head that he claims the least notice: and that he knows this perfectly well is apparent from the care with which he signs himself“ Editor and Proprietor of the /rce- man’s Journal.” It was his design, palpably, to create the impression that the false charge which he ttiered was really made by the authority of the Archbishop; and he knows, and the Archbi- shop knows, that so long ae McMaster continues to make that charge, a great number of persons will believe that it comes from the Archbishop The subseribers of the Columbus paper and those of the Lockport paper will never see the sneak- ing semi-denial published by the Archbishop in the Wall street commercial sheet: they will take it for granted that McMaster made the charge in the fulfilment of his regular duties as organ to the Archbishop, especially as they see McMaster repeat it elsewhere, and it will operate on them accordingly. Now, does John Hughes think this an honora- bie proceeding for a man of his rank and charac- ter and elotb? How does bo reconcile it to his conscience to work hand and glove with the reviler of hi church, the scoffer at the holy mysteries of C tholicism, the gross calumniator of the Pope and all the blerarchy-—Hrastus Brooks? Would the Pope—would any respeetable Cardinal—thus join hands with a noted enemy of the churel? Are we to think that there has been a seerct reconciliation between these two men— that they have agreed to keep up the farce of ineulting each other publicly, Wut in private to be confederates in trickery and falsehood? We confess the facts look very much like it. And our hearty sympathies sre due to every honest and right-minded Catholic, who must be deeply wounded and outraged by even a smblance of accommodation and co-operation between the head of the church and its most virulent slan- derer, Senator Brooks, With all the absurdity and wrongfulness of his petition, however. we have no reason to suppose that Archbishop Haghes is a wilful inventor and propagator of falsehood. We therefore treat him with more consideration than persons of the cali- bre of Senator Brooks deserve, and we say that the charge brought against Colonel Fremont of having been to a Catholie church while living in the house of Mrs. Cummings is false: and that the other story about the groomsman is equally false, Col. Fremont having hed none at his mar- riage. We now call upon the Archbishop to make worl the elanders issued by a person under his authority, and who only spoke because the Archbishop opened Lis mouth! We call for the evidence of Mrs, Cummings or her daughters! We call for the truth about the groomeman! We want the truth, the truth, Will bis ¢jrace let us have it? enother silly speech at Buffalo on Friday last. The Wurthen of his harangue was a parallel hetween free labor and slave labor. He started with the premise that all labor is a cucse pro- nounced in the Garden of Eden upon every de- ecendant of Adam. Ile then proceeded to de- monstrate his own proposition by endeavoring to show that Afriean labor, as it exists at the South, is a curse, but that labor for wages is a misfor- tune. [tis singular that the rabid ultra agitators of the & «l the equally rabid agitators of the Norih, have zo many ideas and mental cha- racteristies in common, of theae Southern agitators are now seri ulvooat opening of the stave trade, for the purpose of depresting the price of African labor, go that free labor will be crushed out altogether. Mr. Seward cuncurs in this position, only rying in the form of his argmuent. No true stateemen, standing upon broad constitutional grounds, de- ing the re- | Opera on its legs, re State or any section of the country recognised, guaranteed and protected by the constitution. The very violence and ultraism of these agitators, North and South, will gradually diminish their influence, and in the end leave them without the smallest influence with the people. In a free country the free press purifies the political at- mosphere and gives the people anopportunity to judge for themselves. ‘Tue Crigvrs anv Covaries or tHe Democracy ts Acrive Ferwentavion.—With the prospect of Mr. Buchanan’s election all the old squads, cliques and coteries of squabbling spoilsmen among the democracy of this city are coming to life again, like the frogs and tadpoles with the first warm days of spring. He who, on a warm April day, after the breaking up of a hard wia- ter, bas gone into the country and heard a dis- cordant chorus of frogs in every pond or pool along the road, will have some idea of the effect of the Pennsylvania election upon the late torpid democracy of the city of New York. They are all alive and full of music, although they sing in different voices and in different holes and cor- ners. The spoils—the spoils—they are all on the scent of the spoils, Within the past week, dur- ing the visit of Mr. Buchanan at Philadelphia, he was surrounded by the New York democracy as by an invasion of frogs from Egypt. All the Seymours, and al] the Schells, Mr. Parker, our democratic candidate for Governor, Gen. Wal- bridge, Captain Wiley, in behalf of Mr. Sickles, with a host of others, great guns and small guns, availed themselves of the happy occasion to be introduce’ |y Col. Forney to the democratic suc- cessor to the spoils. Meantime the hards and softs, insiders and outsiders, up town, down towa, and all over town, have beenholding meetings in every available back room or oyster cellar, for the purpose of a dead pull for the lion’s share of the spoils. The special subject of these happy reunions of the New York city democracy in squads and cliques, here and there and everywhere, is the re-appropriation of the spoils of the Custom House and the Post Oifice. It is a fixed fact that the present Collector and Postmaster are to go out, and Judge Bronson will probably step into the shoes of Redfield. At all events, the hards intend to make that a sine gua non. At the same time, ex-Senator Dickinson is said to be preparing himself for the laborious duties of Marcy, and the Chevalier Soul¢, though somewhere in Nicaragua or Cuba, will be ready ata moment’s warning for another visit to Spain. This reminds us that the Chevalier Wikoff has been among the late pilgrims to Wheatland ; but his business is easily explained. After the election he intends to bring out his book of sketches of his diplomatic expe- rience in England and France, comprehending all the intrigues and plots of Lord Palmerston against the United States. As Mr. Buchanan may be drawn incidentally into this history, the Cheva- lier Wikoff has thought it proper, perhaps, to confer with our ex-Minister touching all those enlistment and other negotiations in which he played a secundary part. With this exception, we presume that all the late New York democratic pilgrims to Wheatland and Philadelphia have been after a pre-emptive claim to the spoils; but this is only the first in stalment of the fregs of Ezypt. The swarms of Union democrats that are waiting the result of the election are asa thousand to every leak in the Treasury. Tue Rar Casprare vor Governor Pauiy Travrep—Read the crushing manifesto of the working printers against Brooke, the rat candi- date for Governor, which we publish to-day. Teead the list of signers, all ye workingmen and mechanics who despise that man who cuts down workingmen’s wages below the regular prices, and who Jews them and fleeces them out of their just compensation by all the mean devices of ratting. The meanness of this fellow Brooks, the low, base tricks and deceptions of which he is capable, have been fully illustrated by his dirty paper during all this campaign. Through the whole it he has played the disgusting office of scavenger to Colonel Forney and the disunion democracy, and has stopped at nothing calculated to blacken the character of Fremont and his mother, Now the rat himself stands completely exposed to the seorn of all honest men, Read the list of witnesses against him, and let this old offender against workingmen’s rights be judged ly workingmen according to his deserts. Ile is an old rat—a deliberate and experienced old rat —an old sinner in the ratting business; and the sums of money which he has pocketed, which should properly have gone into the pockets of his printers, no man can tell, He is the rat candi- date for Governor, but the printers have trapped hia) at last, and chopped off his tail, Shall this Dob-tailed rat be Governor ? Ovens Matrens anp Srrcviations.—The in- timation that Signor Strakosch, in company with” the two amiable Frys, was about to attempt the establishment of the Italian Opera in New York, has thrown a deep gloom over the sensitive heart of the former—Signor Strakosch we mean—and he has written a very touching letter, in whic his amiable heart ouatgushes with emotion too long suppressed. Ie refers feelingly to his carly career in this country, when he had the fricadship of the Ieraro—mourns over his unhappy fate when deprived of it, as he says, by slanderors and talebearers, and assures us of the honesty of his intentions and the purity of his motives. We beg leave to assure Master Strakosch that he is altogether wrong in supposing that any one has misreprescnted him to us. The only person who has injured Signor Strakosch in our opinion is Signor Strakosch himself, In an important trial, where the iewe was between us and the Frys, the amiable Strakosch exhibited — cither a very Ind memory or a want of knowledge of the language, or both, thereby farnishing evidenee which, by the turnings and twistings of the lawyers, was handled so as to en- contoge a verdict which was entirely contrary to the law and the fact. Yet in spite of that ver diet, and notwithstanding the fact that our me- mory is exceedingly accurate for past events, we have no desire to misrepresent the position of Mr. Strakoech or any other of the amiable indiyi- duals who generously devote their energies to the establishment of Italian Opera in Now York, We find Strakoech with the material to form one of the best Opera troupes we have ever liad in the country—Tarodi is ecriainly a great artist and in casting about for some one to set the stablish the dry goods trade in Broadway, and console the lonely even- ings of the fair inhabitants of the fashionable dis- triets—all by the re-opening of the Academy we decided that Strakoech and the Frys were the only available persons at present. Max Maretvek is entirely ont of the qnostion, tt voted to the true interests of the whole country, | is wot probable that the owners of the Opera will gver denounce the sogial institut jons of any ' Uypee would req ce any propositions from him, The Chevalier Wikoff is quite too busy with his own affairs to do anything with the Opera. He is anxiously waiting for the Presidential contest to be closed up, when he will astonish the world with his new book, in which he will reveal all the secrets of the Foreign Office, and smash Lord Palmerston into bits. Signor Ullman is trotting about town, sometimes on one side and sometimes on the other. He has in former times been am- bitious to direct the Opera, but is too much oc- cupied with Thalberg to trouble himself about the Academy at present. Amidst this scanty ar- ray of talent and availability, Strakosch and his former friends, the Frys, seemed to us to be the right men for the right place. We advocated their cause from the best of motives, and we don’t give them up yet; we think they are the only persons just now who are competent not only to give us the standard operas, well sung, but also to produce some splendid efforts of na- tive genius, THE LATEST NEWS. BY MAGNETIC AND PRINTING TELEGRAPHS, Important from Pennsylvania. THE TRUE STATE OF THE CASE—PROSPECTS IN YAVOR OF BUCHANAN. Hurnisnvns, Pa., Oct. 26, 2856. Tepprehend that whilst it will be @ comparatively easy matter to unionize the masses here, it will yet be a much more diflicult onc to harmonize the leaders, The great diMoulty in the way originates in New York. The first difficulty was the nomination of Dayton for Vice President by the Philadelphia Convention, and that of Johnston by the New York Convention. Thurlow Weed, John A. King and the Seward clicve stuck to Dayton against the Pennsylvania man. | ace H. Day, George Law and others held on to Johnston and the !'enn- sylvania clique, If Dayton bad been withdrawn at once, and Jobnson substituted, Pennsylvania would have organized at cnce for Fremont. But this policy did not suit Thurlow Weed, who did not want Fremont to suc- ceed, Then commenced the secret war and intrigues betw cn Weed and Day, whicn, aided by the gross igno. ance and tmbecility of George law and his clique, bave produced the paralysis in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Yaken in connection with the Gibbons and <an- derson intrigues, it has left thom nothing but hearibura- ings and hate. Again: some of the Fillmore men in New York are dis- pensing money here freely and in large sums. Among these is Day, the India rubber man, who is, I learn, contribut- ing largely. In a conversation witn the Hon. Mr, Exlic, a day or two ago, he informed me that Day was, during tue Jast session ef Congress, a republican, and that, baving entrusted the lobbying of one of his patents to Weed and a resident agent, the latter, who was the sbrowdest ma- pager, detectei Weed in some treachery and double- dealing, which, upon being exposed to Day, 80 oxaspe- rated him that henceforward he determined to despise Weed, and that he presumed all his present efforts and outlays for Fillmore in Pennsylvan'a were made with the sole view of thwarting and defeating Weed. The result on the 4th of November noxt is involved in much doubt; the probabilitice, however, are all in favor of the de- mocracy. I received a letter (rom the Sceretary of State of Penn- sylvania this morning. He writes me:—‘I confess I have not much hope of carrying the State in November. ‘We failed at the last election for want of eflicieut organi- zation. Our information was not definite, and our efforts wore all made on the surface, while the democratic or- ganization was perfect in all its details.”” In an interview with Goy. Pollock he informed me that ten thousand naturalizations bad been made in the State since the Ist of September, and that the coloniza- tions had reached full twenty-five thousand on the anfin- ished public works, the most of which were in the hands of democratic contractors, FORNEY WORKING WITH THE WASHINGTON LOBEY —HORACK MH.

Business men have beem making preparations for thet event for months back, and the satisfactory results ot thexe timely labors are now on exhibition in the different establishments throughout the city, Nothing ts to be seen at present but winter goods, rich, heavy materials, and warm or dark colors. Fura have superseded laces, musitus have retreated before vel- ‘vets, aud moire antiques, and al) the “airy nothings” of summer have vanished from the streets and from the stores. But still the genuine winter dresses have 206 made their appearance on our promenades, nor ean they while this delightful Indian eummer laste, Bat it cannot be of long duration; this compromise of the seasons is as transitory as it {s beautiful; aud then comes winter, and With {t come furs and woolien goods, and all the clothing for which we aro indebted to avimate nature. Vogetavle food and vegetable clothing yo out together, and betwoen animal food and saimal clothing there is as strong & sym- pathetic bond, Among the most important articles of the winter trade stand firs, whether we cooxider the value of the goods themselve#, or the place assigned to them by the world Of fashion, When the trade in fare is brisk, it is a good omen for other branches of winter business, and there- fore are we happy to know that the prospects o! the fur trade for this scagon are more than us promising. ‘Tue dealers in this comfortable luxury, eee the good time coming, are aiding to their varied and al- ready extensive stock. We know nothing moro interest- ing thaa a fur openiog. Milliaery openings are gayer and more brilliant, ‘tis true; there is more about them to Please the eye and gratify the fancy, but the interest of a fur opening does not depend wpon brightness of colors—- it is a deeper interest, somewhat akin to the interest at- taching to anything that oxce porscssed vitality, acd it appeals to something bigh+r than the eyeor the fancy. There is a cape of Ruseian sable, sott and glossy as eatin, and beside it is one of ermine, white as the snow on which the animal often rested. Could any contrast be more beautiful? Here the curling chinchilla of Peru re- minds us of Southern climes and tropic skies, while the mink and Hudgon’s Bay sable bring us back to the frozen regions of our own continent, ¥URS— THE NEW STYLES. Furs do not enter into trimmings thia season so much. a8 wag anticipated, but instead we have an inutation of Buseisn gable, which is used pretty extensively for trim- ming cloaks. We have nothing new in this depert»nent— the sable is still the fur par excellence; the shapes are im no wise different from last year, and we must confess they’ are pretiy epough to be retained for another season. ‘The large cape is slightly pointed in the back, and full over the arm, thus preventing any ungrecetul drag which might result from the absence of this very impor- portant little gusset. They are almost universally fur- nished with a small coliar, which gives them # much, more ‘inished appearance. The small cape ant {te dimi- nutive, the victorine, sweep round the shoulders and fal} in long and square tabs in froat, ending in three or four taile. The muils are worn as small as last year, and we most devoutly hope it wil be many seasons before we see again the Brobdigvagian muffs which were in fashion two or three years ago. The cule are of the same size as inst year, reaching almost to the elbow. There is another style of cape, circular shape, with arm hoies, very convenient for holding & mul. The Russian sable the scarcest avd consequentiy the dearest fur we have, is, we understand, smuggled into this country, its exportation being prohibited by the Ras. sian covernment. A smail moffof this fur costs four hundred dollars, and the entire set, consisting of cape, cads and maf, is worth $1,400 or $1,500. Next in im- portance comes the Hudson Bay sabie, its price ranging trom $200 to $700 the set, ita value increasing as ts coior darkens, Then we bave mink, a beautiful fur, almost rivalling the sable; and next, ‘fallen from its high extate,’” comes ermine, now only a fourth rate fur, of which im the gobd old times kings bad the monopoly, Toen again we have chinchilla, itch, syuirrol, stone marten, mine ver; aod if our ladies can’t be suited, no matter how diverse their tastes may be, it must be the result of the bewildering variety they have tochore from. We have eaid there wes nothing new in the furs this geason, but we must not omit to meotion a yery beautiful and striking novelty got up by Genin, and on exhibition et the Crystal Palace. It ie a cape made of ermine, with an edging of mink about six isches in depth, and hase very fine efiect, from the great contrast between the pure white of the ermine and the deep brown of the mink. Wo bave also seen a very beautiful opera cloak o” ermine, lined with pink eatin and quilted; the price, with culls, one hundred dollars; the entire set, one hendred and twenty-five. A very important department in (cr estab- Mabments is that devoted to children. There aro vome furs dedicated to their exclusive use, such as mtinover wad. ebinchila, and others which they use in common with their elders, as ermine, and the mixed white and gray squirrel, They have entiro sets, capes, calls ant mulls, and of all sizes, suitable for children of every ace, prov- ing that the “juvenile world’? must form @ very cousid- erable item in busiaess calculations. The price for a set of minever is thirty dollars, and for ermine, from twenty- five to forty. CLOAKS, MANTILLAS AND THEIR VARLESTINS. Cloaks, mantiliag and a!l the varieties of outs: to winter farments, designed fer the coming season, are now fairly ou exhibition, and certainly surpass in grace o! form and beauty of lesion those in fashion last year, The straighd Scar’shaped mantilla, that gave such a s(careoce# and angularity to the (igure has disappeared, and {u ire stead ‘Wo bave the pointed style, in all ite phasor, from the foarcely percoptible poak to the fully developed shaw. ‘The trimmings are profuve and varied, and some, in wi- dition to their intrinsic claims to admiration, haye al! the charms of novelty to recommend them. Chis! among these is the crochet trimming, which is made of thick puree silk, crocheted into she.! pattorus, and ‘i7ra! pat- terns, and tofted patterns, and pa terns too intricave to be described. The beauty of this trimming is coms derabiy enhanced by a deep ‘ringe which is attached to (be edge- stitches of the crochet, avd which is geperally yery thick snd iexuriant, In addition to thie, the most deli- cate embroidery bas been called into requisition to give greater valve to materials tbat could well stand \pen their own merits and dispense with all extraveous aid. This is particularily ine case with one exbibited by Mackenale, of Canal street, calied ‘the Zoleika, new and rvlivrche mantilla of the shaw! patters, whore gorgeous oriental magnificence '* in heepipg with its comme. It is formed of the richest black velvet, and trimmed with deep guip” re ir.nge, «0 arrayed at to give the appearance of a double shawl. \bove each fall of lace fringe rune an ox. broidery of the palm leat pattern, intersper: bugles that glance and glitter im the light.
