It requires @ background of beathor to make it look well. On the Highland hile it would look pretty and picturesque; but the Higb'and bills and the at-eets of Now York ara very different, snd require different styles. Ag it is impossidie, in this country, to resucttate a failure, whether in politics or fashion, we conclude that the Balmoral is of the things that were. THR CORSAGE. There are, as we have already stated, so many ways of making the coreage, that individual taste is almost unre- stricted. We have the plain waist, which may, when the taste varies, be vory profusely and prettily trimmed by a moveable bretelle of black velvet and lace or fringe. The bertha, round cr pointed, is also a very styie; and we have seen some made of lace, edged wi puftings of tulle and sprinkied over with tovends of blue or cherry colored ribbon, that on a light summer dress would have a effect. These can be varied ind substitating flowers. The open cocur shaped |, With tts oppor- tunity for displaying a richly worked and costly chemi- fetse, cannot be everlooked.

BOWEN HAS REASON TO BE LIRVE THAT THOMAS ALLSOP IS IN THS CITY—DA- GUEBREOTYPES OF NOTORIOUS CRIMINALS, ETC. ‘The Board met yesterday afternoon, all the members present. A large number of charges against policomon were dis- posed of, and on suggestion of Mayor Tiemann a resotu- tion was adopted providing that in any case where in- toxication is proven against an officer at any time, wheth- er off duty or on duty, he shall be dismissed from the de- partment. Mr. Bows» announced that policeman Freshman, of tho Seventeenth ward, had presented $50 to the Potice Insa- rance Fund. Mayor Tramayn withdrew the charge against Inspector Weed for insubordination, Mr. Weed having made euch an apol y a0 led him to belfeve that no insu ination was inten Mr. Bowxy read an extract from the New York corres- dence of the Albany Sta/esman, to the effect that ‘Alisop was in New York city, and that Engliab and French detectives were, with tho asnietance of the New York police, Ly ap in a plan for his abduction.

These French and nglizh detectives should understand despicable a this crime mignt be, this man was under protection of oar laws, ‘and that if they touched him it would be at their peril. Mayor Tixwany—Is this man in New York? Mr. Bowax—I know he is. Mayor Tueuayx—How do you know it? Mr. Bowys—Well, I have reason to believe so.

One which Titania herself might have worn, so airy and goe- samer-like it seemed, was mae of white tulle. The skirt, oven to its junction with the waist, was one bewil- dering succession of flounce upon fiounce, and between each ran a wreath of myrtle bloesom, with its giancing, bowers, {rom each of which poeped forth a tmy bunch of Mr. Nv» offered a resolution, which was adopted, eg'antine, #0 natural you almost svented the sweet | authorizing the Genorst Superintendent to open a oorres- briar. in direct contrast to thi was the jence with the chief officers of the police d Fre a iarhen Serato wad terns | suaapea fsoearh, Meo oe ee wl was a il jue silk worn whi ox enodnen at ? r nals can be obtained.

SArx oF THe SrRAMABIP QcakER Crry.—The steamship Quaker City was sold yesterday by auctign, for the sum Of $67,250. She was knocked down to J. W. Sandy. Her future destination is uncertain. One rumor was that she was purchased for Mesers. Howland & Aspinwall, and would be sent to China to run in tho waters of the Colestiais; while another report gave her a different dosti- nation. The Quaker City is a very weil constructed and substantial vessel, built in 1853, and, it was said, cost about $226,000. She formerly ran as a regular packet be tween New York and Mobile, touching at Havana. She made one trip to Liverpool, m the Collins line. Manniace IN How Livs,—Charles H.

MANTILLAS. In this department we have variety enough, but little novelty. However, some of the old favorites can dispense with the charm of novelty—it is the only beauty which they cannot boast. The shaw! shaped mantilla is a very pretty style and deservedly popular, very suitable for deep mourning, being both plan and elegant. The cloak with the pointed hood is a very desirable spring garment, ‘and we have seen one in Jackson's, for mourning, made of barathea and trimmed with two rows of futed crape ribbon confined by chenille, which had a pleasing ‘and novel effect. A row of narrow tuted ribboo was placed round the opening of the hood. A vory protty style which is called the “Mayflower,”’ is pro- duced by the combination of the mantilla and tho basque. It is made of binck silk, the corsage is fall and guthered at the back, which is entirely covered by a pointed capa that descends below the waist. The skirt is long and full, and trimmed with two deep folds of crapo, as is also the cape. The front fulla free and unrestrained, the reeves are wide and fowtng. Py substituting some’ other mate- rial for crape it would suit any othor «ress equally well, legant epring mantilla, which we have scen ia Mak. ‘#, is made of black volvet and chantilly lace. It is pointed back and front, and descends no further than the waist. It is with « row of broad guipure in sertion, from which falls a flounce of the richest Chantilly lace full a yard deep; a row of bugle drop buttons down the front is the only ornament. “Pompadour” is a circle of black silk, very long, and wide. Five rows of bowillonnee forma the ‘skirt trimming, and the abape of the hood ia marked out by two rows of the same trimming, over which runs a row of chenille. The “Mary Stuart’ ‘yaaquine isa very handsome style. and judging from the approbation it re eived, will undoubtedly ‘be popular.
