THE: WHOLE NO. 8056. THE FALL FASHIONS. Great Opening Day Among the Milliners and Modistes. What the Ladies will Wear During the Present Fashionable Season, &e., &e., ke. “This season has opened more auspiciously than any sinee the panic, Business is more active, and high-priced goods are in greater demand than ever. Economy, always short lived in our locality, hag died out, and the idea that “ best is best cheap ”’ is completely exploded indeed. The richer the material the more certa‘n it is to find a pur- chaser. A few hours’ saunter through our principal dry goods stores will make this fact patent. Sacha profusion of rich heavy materials, such an abundance of exquisite trimmings, such rare expensive laces and glowing rain- ow-hued ribbons, augur well for the prospect of this Branch of trade. This does not arise now from an excess ef speculation, for wholcsale and retail dealers have been taught a wholesome lesson by the late revulsion. It is the natural result of increased confitence and returning prosperity ; for the stagnation that was lately felt through every channel of business has been broken up and swept ‘away by the returning tide. That wholesale and retail éealers anticipate a busy season is evident from their pre- parations, and the style and quality of their assorted goods indicate unmistakeably the direction in which the public taste has set. The experience of the last year has ‘taught buyers that injudicious economy is more wasteful than extravagance, and now nothing but goods of the best quality will command a ready sale. For some time past a gradual but thorough metamorphosis has been going on im the different Broadway establishmants; the light sum- mer tissues have been quiet Qin and their places filled by goods better adapted to the coming season. ‘These semi-annual transformations of course occur imultaneously with the spring and fall openings, and contribute not a little to the air of festivity so characteris- tie of thege interesting exhibitions. On yesterday the store windows were £0 gaily and profusely decorated that ‘they were quite a feature in the celebration—every dry goods establishment appeared to have an ‘‘opening”’ of its @wn, and every window was a miniature exhibition. ‘The following is a list of the establishments that opened yesterday, and which from morning to night were crowded by pleased and interested spectators — Bonp strxet—Misscs E.

BONNETS, Thero is very little change in bounets this season; they are a trifle larger; they flow more in front, and the capes are smaller than those of last year, In crowns there is rather more variety than usual, for in addition to what may be called the staple of every opening—the round and cap crown—there are two or three novelties direct from Yaris. First, the fanchon a pointe, the very name 0 which precludes the necessity of a description; second, ‘the ecaille, with its graceful: curve, reminding one of the sweep of the sea shell; and third, a unique and effective styic, so like a Scotch bonnet that a scrap of taytan rib bon would render the illusion complete. The trimmings are in excellent taste, keeping the juste milieu betwoen and superabundance, and picasing all and every avoidance of extremes. They aro sed in every style, social OF segre. one by formed of howers, @: ; of ribbons in bows, thers, either marabout, soft as thistle down, 80 soft that an infant's breath or a languid sammor breeze would ruftic it, or heavier ostrich or more rigid plumes de coq. The ribbons in use this season are very beautiful—in fet, tuon merely to remark their effect in strings, which every lacy knows contribute not a little to the beauty of the hat. The inside trimmings are as various as individnal tastes, but flowers arranged asadiadem or d UJmpera- rice, are most in favor. In fall and winter fashions we mise the fair spring blossoms that make the eagrenreennye Zegeeencee ens sit He FH H 2582 eth eascpeeEe? = Bie ett! if i i seeteit i i # a ; 3 3 s F of scarlet leaves, whose ‘autumnal tints were in unison with the ruddy glamci fruit, and on the other = bow of black Ince, with long floating ends. The strings were half plaid, half white. Beside this was another of graver hue, giving and re- ‘ceiving advantage from the contrast. It’ was composed ‘of currant-colored velvet, laid plain on the foundation, and was completely covered, from brim to cape, with a of chantilly lace, that fell like lappete on each of the hat full «quarter of a yard below the edge. ‘Tho front trimming was black ruche, and bunch of crim @? alencon in texture, and design. In the same establishment a full dress opera hat received more than ite share of attention. Tt was just the hat for the Academy of Music on a winter night— gay, bright, attractive and coquettish. We cannot give a very clear idea of this hat, having only a confused re Mmembrance of bands of delicate pink, terry velvet con trolling, or endeavoring to control, turbulent eddies o snowy tulle that foamed and surged between them, ant ‘over which fell a floating mist of blonde.

Wo must not omit to mention a very striking hat of uncut dotted velvet, of that rich crimson hue seen in the heart of the dahlia. Around the edge was a fall of Ince, thrown back over the side crown, and on one side was the most = foct imitation of a thistle that Paris ever produced. The Seon trimming was « full ruche, in which was set a bunch that exquisite geranium known as “Lady Washing fection.’ Leghorns are not much worn, but and trimmed with ostrich feathors were on exhibition, and looked as they always do, very elegant Fino straw hats, with taffeta, were in every estab. d, interspersed with the graver hues, added general effect One of the most elegant have seen for a long time was composed Of purple velvet, of that rich, deep hue denominated im- jal, The trimming wae Chantilly lace and black os. oh feathers; under the brim a few violeta were errane. ed asadiadem.

In this department the season opens with unusual bril- ancy, whether we regard it in reference to tho pleasant pecuniary prospects of tho modistes, the quality and Deauty of the goods, or the variety and elegance of the different styles submitted for public approval. There are 80 many different styles, and all so beaut ‘ul, that this, Pembarras des riches, is rather perplexing, and wo find it adifficult matter to make @ choice. Basques aro still worn and will be very fashionable this winter, with the exception of one novelty, callod the pointed basque, which cannot be too strongly denounced. The skirt of this basque is cut into seven or nine points, and is fit only fo the stage, outside of which we hope nevor to see it. arRogento, gros graiue, gros royal, armure silk, opi n armure silk, poplins, and a variety of plaids of every color under the sun, Ths robe dresses, with their warm dark colors and rich and Siegen omiaae, are as much admired as ever. ny ing we have all these silks reproduced, iu suitable colors. ‘We have seen in Madame Farwell’s some very elegan dregses, which we think worthy of notice. Oue whic pin ghee admired, was a Ee blue taffeta, with a double skirt trimmed with long heavy fringe. cor- sage was buttoned in front, high to the throat, and trim- med a bretelles ending in round tabs, and over-lapping in front on the shoulder. The bretelle was confined in three plaits whidh fell over the sleeve forming a cap, aid then witbout further obstruction, swept gracefully round to the belt. The sleeve is a very pretty kind of flowing sleeve, pointed at the elbow and cut off square to the front, it is called the imperial. Another very prett!

In another establishment we have geen a very elegant robe dress of brown taffeta, with black velvet flounces, edged with black fringe, the cor- eage high and buttoned down the front. The slevees wid and flowing. Another rich and elegant dress of pur —” silk made with a basque, was ladylike and es THE CORSAGE. There are many different ways of making the corsage, but none very new, if we except the waist ending in five points. This will never attain any popularity, for the all sufficient reason, that it is the most ungraceful style any lady could wear. The belt waist is still regarded with unabated favor, though many seasons have passed since we first welcomed it. Then we have the square shaped corsage, and the low neck for ball and evening dresses, The style of trimming varies with the taste of the wearer, but profusion is the order of the day. Bretellas_plaited ‘on the shoulder, forming a cap or jockey to the sleeve, attracted much attention. Bertha will not be worn so much as fore. THE SKIRT. We have the flounced and plain skirts, and double skirts, which, when elegantly trimmed with fringe or rich quilled ribbon, produces a most pleasing effect. The quille robes have retreated behind the flounces and double skirts, from which occasional forth very un- obtrusively. The Sent Wesel rare Nery fall, and will continue 80 as Jong as hoops are fashionable. THE SLEEVE. ‘The variety of this important part of a lady’s dreas, is almost bewildering; however, we shall endeavor to describe some of the most striking. The Bayadere is a pretty simple style sleeve, reaching half way between tho elbow and the wrist, and pulled into a short cap. Tho front of the sleeve is left entirely open and trimmed with aruche. There is no sleeve better adapted for exhibiting those exquisite laces and embroideries, which form so essential a part of a lady’s dress, as the Bayadere. Another sleeve, named the Em| }, ending in fine scol- lope, over which falls a scolloped cap, was much admired. The double figwing sleeve, with a plait down the centre, trimmed with buttons, Is only necessary to mention’ Then we have the puffed sleeve, the sleeve with two, three, and sometimes four frills, and a eombination of the puff and frill, BALL DRESSES, There has been displayed before us some of the very prettiest ball dresses we have seen at any previous open- ing; but in this case description is the best eulogy, and we shall place before our fair readers, some of the most striking. One, which was the centre of an admiring group, ‘was made of white tulle, with three skirts—the upper one divided in the front, forming a tunic; round each skirt was a ée, through which ran ‘a blue ribbon of that subdued delicate tint which is as beautiful as it is rare; the corsage low and pointed, and trimmed with bouil: lonnies placed in the bretaile style, the sleeves short and puffed, with the bive ribbon glancing through. Head- dress,'a wreath of blue and white water lilies. Another of maise colored stik profusely trimmed with black lace and black velvet, had likewise its admirers. Still another, which we cannot forbear to mention, wan a white glac? silk, with three flounces of white lace, looped up at inter- vals with sprays of coral; the corsage low and pointed with a lace berthe and a bouquet of coral in the centre sleeves short and looped up with sprays of coral, MANTILLAS. In this department we have not been able to discern any novelties, butif there is nothing’new, all that we have seen have at least the recommendation of suitability, and will, we have no doubt, be found adapted to every taste. The material of which they are made consisis of cloth, beaver, tweed, and velvet, but of all these peaver will enter more largely into their manufacture than any other. In this the makers are governed, of course, mainly by the fact that it is the most fashionable; but there is another sha ‘ double hood, ending in a tassel and rounding to the front sleeves, wide and flowing, and trimmed with pendent buttons down the seams, com this pretty and grace. ful garment, A Spanish’ circle drawn up over one arm ‘and covered by a large pointed cape, ending in a tassel, ig admirably adapted for winter wear. In Mackenzie's we have seen some elegant velvet raglans—the collar formed with crotchet edging and heavy silk fringe, and rows of fancy buttons down the sleeve. In the same establich. ment they had on exhibition a raglan of beaver cloth, called the “Eporia.”’ Tt was trim with figured galloons, horizontally round the edge, and of the same trimming ran perpendicularly down the sleeves. Theso bande of galloon, extending about a quarter of a yard down the front, gave it the appearance of a yoke. ‘MOURNING. As usual, we have all the prevailing styles of hats re. produced in mourning with the exactitude of a Chinese copy. The shapes are the same, the style of trimming is the same; the absence of colors is the only point of differ- ence, If the fashionable establishments through which we have conducted the readers of the Henan, with their striking contrasts and blended harmonies of color, may be considered a picture of the fashions, we have now come to the engraving. We donot mean to describe widows’ bate or cape for deep mourning. They are scarcely sus- ceptible of description, When we have said that bomba- zine, or heavy English crape, is laid plain on the founda- tion, that a fold of crape passes round the edge, and that acrape ruche forms the face trimming, the su! ip ex. hausted. There was a very pretty mourning hat exhibited in Jackeon's yesterday, made of bombazine and crape, of the peculiar crown of which we have before spoken. ‘As it was oniversally admired, we shall endeavor to give a correct ideaof it. The front plain black silk, and the crown, not A trimming of crape, brought to a point in the centre of the front by band which confines it there, gradually increases in width aa it extends to the cape, where it is attached. In the same establishment was exhibited the Shell hat, or chapeau ecaille, made of English crape; the crown fhited like a hell, ag the name indicates—on on eside hows of crape,on the’ other boops or twists intertwining in puzzling confusion. A plaited bandeau of crape formed the front trimming and the strings, which were a yard long and a quarter wide, almost attained fe he a searf.

The Rosenheath sub- Boquently epoke the bark Arabian, which bad passed close alongside the burning steamer, and ascertained that there was no person on board. A strong gale was blow- ing at the time, and the name of the sieamer coukl not ‘be ascertained. The fate of the crew is of course un- known, A despatch received at a late hour last night from Hali- fax says:—The Rosenbeath was not near enough to the burning steamer to observe her particularly, and her officers know nothing more than that imparted by the Arabian, They cannot say whether she was iron or ‘wood, paddle or screw. All the particulars we hope to obtain upon the arrival of the Arabian, now hourly ex- pected, In connection with this event we have the report of the ship America, which arrived here yesterday from Liver- pool, which states that in lat. 44 and lon, 50 30, on tho banke of Newfoundland, she passed a spar about thirty feet long, with something attached, apparently a large ball, and supposed to have been a portion of a raft, as there was a quantity of ropes twisted as if for lashing around the spar. ‘The following is the list of steamships at sea, and not heard from on the date in question, with their day of sailing and destination :— Ariel, paddle wheel... e 4 Prince Hudson, screw........ The position in which the burning steamer is reported to have been seen is about 1,500 miles from Sandy Hook and about 1,400 miles from the coast of Ireland. The pro- babilities, therefore, in regard to the above named steam- ships are as follows:— The City of Baltimore, North Star and New York could hardly have reached such a distance from Sandy Hook 80 soon after their day of sailing from our port; nor could the Prince Albert or the Hudgon have got so far from their port of departure on the 15th inst. The Saxonia would probably have been too far advanced on her voyage to have been a freshly burned or burning steamer on the 16th, at the point reported. The probabilities are therefore reduced to the Ariel, Alps, Canada, Edinburg and Austria, Tho report of the master of the Rosenheath is indefinite and unsatis- factory, inasmuch as it does not tell us whether the burning steamship was a screw or paddle wheel steam- er, The fact that her engines are reported to work through the upper deck would lead to the supposition that she was a paddle wheel ship. But a partially burnt steam- er might present such appearances as to lead to the sup- position that “her engines worked through the upper deck” without such being really the case. This state- ment, however, leads to the belief that it was a paddle wheel steamer. Of these the description would indicate the Ariel, which has one walking beam, her engine therefore working through the upper deck. But we believe this steamer was not painted red on the bottom, and that sho had no bowsprit at all. , She sailed from New York on the 4th, for Southampton, with the following passengers :— Mrs. Chureb, Samuel Green, George Thomas, P.

The last of the steamships within the range of proba- bility is the Austria, This vessel is Known to have left Hamburg on the Ist and Southampton on the 4th inst. for New York, and is consequently now nineteen days out and several overdue here, We believe she has a red bottom, though her engines did not work through her decks, There is much anxiety about her, and it is feared she may prove to be the unfortunate ship. Her list of cabin passengers from Hamburg is as follows, and it is not known whether she took any on board at Southamp- ton oF not— Herm Sondheim, wife and five children, New York; 8.

Besides these, this verse! probably had a large number of steerage passertyers. There is one probability in favor of the safety of the grew and passengers, which is a strong one, The burning "| steamer had no person on board when seen by two ves sels, and as abe was on the track of the numerous lines running between this and Rurope, the reasonable supposi- tion ia that they were all taken offby some eastern bound steamehip. It is to be hoped that a few days will solve The Extortionate Charges at Quarantine. ‘Wo were promised last week that Dr. Thompson would make his report to the Board of Health on the 20th inst. regarding his administration of Quarantine affairs, and es- pecially in reference to Quurantine charges. But instead of doing this, we find that the only thing which haa ap- peared has not been Dr. Thompson’s roport to the Board of Health, but Mayor Tiemann’s report to the Chamber of Commerce, accompanied by certain affidavits of per- sons employed at Quarantine under Dr. Thompson’s super- vision, The Mayor's communication is yerboso and confined mainly to two points in the list of Quarantine charges— viz., lighterage and stevedores’ work. A whole list of other exhorbitant charges for fumigations, transportation of passenggrs, crews, ships’ officers, casks of water, bas- kets of provisions and vegetables, permits to passengers to vieit the city, &c., have been overlooked. The arrest of salt and coal vessels at Quarantine and their fumi- gation, are all ignored, unexamined and un-replied to, Dr. Thompson promised ona former occasion to make his report at the close of the season; but after the late publicatiof in the Heratp, he promised the Board of Health to make a report on the 20th inst. Yet the only movement on his behalf is taken up by the Mayor, who, however commendable in his inteutions, has evidently been used on this occasion by a power behind the “throne greater than the throne itself.” ‘Then, if his communica- tion was to be the defence of the Health Commissioners ag well as the Health Officer, why was it not signed by the other members of the Commission of Health? ‘The verbose affidavits paraded by Mr. Boyer, Dr. 'sexclusively licensed lighterman and Mr. Dean, his head of the stevedore de} nt, Read & Co., of the cooperage department, and others, are curious docu- ments, and just such as might be expected to emanate from persons in their peculiar position. Their affidavits prove teo much about lighterage and other charges, or in other words, they deny charges against Dr. Thompson which were not made Mr. \ pon tigenareg it seems, so far as we are informed, was the only man of’ the lot who claims having received his license immediately from the Mayor and his associates, and that only within about the past flve weeks—eays ‘The deponent has never, directly or indirectly, paid or to pay any moueye, votmlesioka”charen‘ccbessseste oe * yk rh 3 harge .s nts, or er to Dr. Thompson: Why make such an affidavit in the absence of accusa- tions to that effect? Mr. Boyer, the chief lighterman, also swears that he does not pay over to Dr. Thompson any part of his earnings. All the affidavits of the Doctor’s wees and employés fay about the same thing. Yet, to say, while merchants and shipowners complain. that have been fleeced out of vast sums of moncy, nobody has received it; or, that the charges being so very moderate, no one has been able to make much out of the business. ‘The statements of charges put forward in New York shilling currency, by the Quarantine lighterman, with his affidavit, docs not square with the bills actually paid and receij by shipowners and consignees, which we apes on the 15th inst. Thus, Mr. Boyer says ‘that is charge for lightering a bale of cotton in the upper bay in 28. 6d.—that is about 314% cents; and double that amount from the lower bay.’ The stevedore manager, Dean, ‘that his charges for labor on a bale of cotton is 18 cents?’ and both these individuals get men to say that these charges are reasonable. To prove that in this statement they falsify their charges made and presented in bills to merchants, and paid for by thems, we republish the following receipted bill>— Orrice QUARANTINE StonAGE, 109 Watt Street, } August 25, 1868, Mr. L. H.M., To Usiow Licnter Co., Dr. To atorage on 308 bales cotton, nt 28. per bale. $7 0 Labor on do., at 2. per bale, in and out. .. 77 00 Tighterage from vessel on do., at $s. per baie 22115 80 payment for the company. The dodge here developed is most extraordinary. They make out a list of charges for lighterage and stevedores’ work at rates under what they have been paid for, and then get other persons to declare that they are reason- able; and then get Mayor Tiemann to send them to the Chamber of Commerce as a defence of Dr. Thompson and his employés. ‘Again, the lighterman in chief says that his charges for lightering logwood are reasonable. To refresh his me- mory we reproduce the tollowing bill:— New Yorx, August 31, 1858, To H. Borax, Dr. from bark Coriathtn Jaarantine, to empire, tone logwood, a in’. nen goers Again, the printed list used by Mr. Boyer puts down tho lighterage for mahogany from the narantine at $2; from the lower bay at $4 per M., and bills have been paid with these charges in them, while in his state- ment of charges, certified to as reasonable, he makes them at 10s. and 20s., or $1 25 and $2 60 per M., and so of several other articles. The stevedore in chief says that on the 13th of July last he, with the Health Officers, reduced tho charges, and among other things his charge for labor for cotton was reduced from 18. tw Ic. per bale. If this was so, how happened it that the above bill rendered to Mr. L. H. M. om the 25th of August, more than 2 month afterwards, contained a ge for labor at the rate of 2s. or 26 cents per bale, while in the same bill the lighterman charges 3714 cents per bale, and double if from the lower bay? Yet, he says in his list of charges, certified to ax reasonable, that he only demands 2s. 6d. or 311% cents per bale, and double that amonnt from the lower bay. As evidence of Nelson & Co.’s reasonable charges, of which the affidavits comes, BS ee of the general system, if they will at the bill against the bark Greenland and see wherein she is charged $10 for two casks of water, and more for putting the mate on board, and $1 or more put ‘ For lighterage as follow: sonable. Why was not some one brought forward to say that these charges were reasonable? Again, why was ei Eh ee eee for fumigation, and especially for a galt or coal ship: Nothing of the sort — in this sham defence, which his Honor the ‘or, in his innocence, has been made to father.

The investigation into the case of General Tallmadge was immediately resumed, and, judging by the number of persons who crowded the headquarters, the interest taken seemed unabated. The first witness examined was Sergeant Waterbury, and his testimony was the followmg:— I was standing on the corner of Broadway and Broomo street, when the Deputy Superintendent came up to me. and we proceeded together to the headquarters; he to me that I wouid have to go to Quarantine; when we came to the headquarters we enterod the Deputy’s office; the General Superintendent was not im then; afer waiting some time he came in, and we went into his office; we were only three or four minutes in the Deputy’s office. ‘To General Tullmadge’s Couvsel—There wus a letter in the Deputy Superintendent’s office when we came into it; I presume the Leputy gave it to the General Superinten- dent; conversation took place between the Deputy and the General, after the General had examined the letter; in the conversation the General stated that he would send men down to Quarantine without a requisition; he would not expose men to the yellow fever; there was other conversation betwcen them; I did not’ hear it all; we remained in the room about five minutes to ten min- perhaps not so much; it was about half past two in the afternoon when we went to the Deputy’s office. Mr. Power, « clerk of the Police Commissioners, testi- fled that he was employed in the office about halt past four o'clock on the ‘noon of the 2d of September, and he heard a voice, which he believed to be that of General Tallmadge, say “+1 will not send men to Quarantine,” Captain Crabtree, Vice President of the Commissioners at two im the afternoon; Mayor Tiemann directed him to proceed to the Commis- fioners of Volice and state his information; he came to the office of the Police Corum ssioners, and found General Nye there; he stated the facts and bis that if’ @ force sufficient w protect the Quarantine buildings was not sent down, the remaining buildings might be consumed before the: the next day; he left the office of General Tallmadge about three in 3 the General told him thas he would order a force men to be sent down immediately, and that it pm my for him wo —_—aw Measures; next ar ned, to my regret, remaining buil had been fired; 1 ua mabaequenty conversation wf General Superintendent and a § Commursioners of don; on asking the General perintcndent wy the force was Bot sent down to Quaran_ tine in time to protect the baillings, he u he w reount of the yellow fever; and when he asked the General if that was the reasob, he replied, No, certainly not.’ To the counse!—I bad some notion a requisition would be necessary before a force could be sent down; there Was nothing for a force to do on the 2d of Suptember Tallmadge intimated that the pote from General Nye ‘not a proper order for the men; I thoaght that myself at the time, as the number of ‘men to bo wont was not speci Aiter this witness had concluded his tostimony, another Was put upou the stand, but what he said was of little wi jt mae invent —_ jayor Temann was then telegraphed arrival be testified peg oo I Unik it was about two o'clock in the afternoon of the Captain Crabtree 2d of September that my office, aud informed me of the burning of be times, I believe, bat neither General Nye nor the General Superintendent were in when T ; | attended the municipal dinner in the evening at the Metropolitan Hotel ; 1 fret met Mr. Stranahan at the dinner; Captain Crabtree had told me before that sixty men would be sent down to Quarantine; Ithink Mr. Stranahan told me that no men T told hum that I wanted to see the was to be found, and I think me; the General said to me be made upon him be down immediteiy, be immediately, he assemble frst, require soma whilst at the table Mr. he ble where I rat and Ly ‘obliged was ver! for having dome so, for it my mind ‘neni mes it would re. was present with there was no necessity Quaraatine as Mr Schell had sent Teoetved the telegraphic des- i i lt Hf : 3 ; i 5 : i i f it abeta H tj i i i = = £ 5 i whether to protect the whole Property ot only the Uni property—and he replied that he intended them to protect, “aeee vant Bird 17 ond we ort of the Harbor potice, reeant Birne two privates 7, were then examined, bat their testimony war either a repetition of . was eatablished, of of trivial aguecesn ee The Board adjourned, to moet to-day at one o'clock P.
