VIDAURRI PREPARING TO TAKE THE FIELD—MURDER OF THE GLENNS. From the Brownsville (Texas) Flag, Dec. 8.) Our Mexican exchanges bring us nothing particularly in- teresting. The capture of Gustaiiier ceteeel: Everywhere preparations are being made ive the ro- action the last masterly blow. Vidaurri will again be on the field with an imposing force, and General Garza has returned to Tampico from Vera Cruz, whither he had gone to procure resources, which he now has at his disposal. About two weeks ‘ago we received the news that two American citizens of the name of Glenn (father and son) , had been murdered near Saltillo, Mexico, about the 1st of November last. As we then inferred, from official ac- counts of the affair published in the Boletin Oficial of Monterey, these persons had been killed by order of one Of tne authorities of Nuevo Leon, for having resisted by force of arms a warrant which had been served upou them to answer before a tribunal to certain charges pre- ferred against them in the matter of a stolen horse that been tound in their possession. As the affair was then undergoing investigation by the proper authorities, we had resolved to wait for the issue and give our readers the whole statement as it might be published by the press of Nuevo Leon, after such investigation should take yi oS wo received a letter from an Ameri- can citizen residing at Saitillo, which gives a statement entirely different from that we had previously received as issued by order of the authorities investigating the cage in the State of Nuevo Leon. This letter, professing to give a plain and simple statement of facts, relates the circum- stances in this wise:—That while Mr. James Glenn and his family were on their way to Texas from the city of Zacatecas, Mexico, they were overtaken about two leagues from the’ hacienda of San Juan de Baqueria by a representative in the Congress of Zacatecas, a lawyer of the name of Gomez de Cardenas, who claimed from Mr. Glenn a horse that the latter had bought in San Luis Po- tosi, and which was promptly given up by Mr. Glenn to avoid all diMoculties; that the said Gomez then left Mr. Glenn and went back to Saltillo, from wheuce he returned with a party of soldiers, who no sooner overtook Mr. Glenn and his party than’ they began firing upon them, which resulted in the death of Mr. Glenn and his eldest son Andrew, a youth of nmeteen; that a younger son of sixteen, barely escaping with his life, sought safety among the hills and did not return to his family for several hours; that the widow and children of Mr. Glenn were inhumanly treated by the soldiery, who despoiled them of $5,000 in gold which they had about their per- sons; that Mrs. Glenn herself received several wounds about her person, and finally that she and her childrea— two little girls and the surviving son—remained at the scene of death for nearly twenty-four hours, exposed: to the inclemencies of the weather, until reliéved by an American director of the Fabrica Hibernia in that vicinity. ‘The writer concludes by saying that Mr. Glenn was a man of high respectability, doing a mercantile business in the city of Mexico, and at the time of his death wason his way to Texas to settle his son on a farm in that State. By the last mail from Monterey we have received a printed copy of the proceedings in the investigation refer- red to above, from which it appears that Gomoz de Carde- nas did not order the Glenns to be killed; that he (Gomez) served on Mr. Glenn an order of the Court of Saltillo to ap- pear before said court to answer a complaint of said Go- mez for the delivery of a horse belonging to him, in the possession of Mr. Glenn, who promised to comply with the citation and appear before the court at Saltillo. That said Glenn having failed to fulfil his pro- mise, and having taken another route, in a different direc- tion from Saltillo, Gomez again sallied out—this time with a party of soldiers—and having overtaken Mr. Glenn, served on him a second citation; that thereupon Mr. Glenn: Ubreatened to shoot Gomez with his rifle, who retreated about seventy yards. That the soldiers still followed the Glenn party, at which one of the young Glenos became infuriated and fired a pistol shot at them, which was re- turned by the soldiery with a Aap HS musket balls, kill- ing Mr. Glenn and his oldest son. mez alleges not to be concerned in the shooting, which order was given by the sergeant of the guard upon being fired at by young Glenn. ‘The matter of the robbery has not been fully investigated. We shall now refrain irom all comments. The editor of this paper, who is better able to discuss this affair, wili take the earliest opportonity to refer to it more at length. Meantime, perhaps, more light will have been thrown upon the subject, which is at present obscure and but partially unraveled BORDER VIEWS OF MEXICAN AFFAIRS AND AMERI- CAN INTERVENTION. {From the Brownsville (Texas), Flag, Dec. 8.) The agpect which the affairs of Mexico have re- cently assumed Maicate clearly that the reactionist party is fast giving by, Bae the will of the people. Wo hava every reason to hope that with the establishment of the constitution of °67 ail those pernicious factions which bere- tofore bave been ee of Mexico, will have been thoroughly eradicated. There are many in this country, however, who do not agree with us upon this one point: they do not doubt the success of the liberal party im the present struggle, yet they reason something like this:— “Mexicans will ever be Mexicans—'t is in their nature to boy among themselves, and they will be at war continu- ally. There are no true patriots among them; each fights for his interest, and hence there will be civil war in that country until the race become ex- tinct by their own hands or until we Americans go there ‘to settle their difficulties and settle our selves upon the country.” The latter poruon of such a reasoning is a pure and analioyed view of an American extensionist, but by uo meaus an impartial observation of things in that country. It is not our policy to meddle with the intestinal discord of our neighbors, and hence it is not at all probable that Ameri cans will go there for some time yet te como—and now we will explain what appears to us to be the of this continua! revolution. Mexico, since the emancipation of her poople from the Spanish dominion, has been cursed with the combined oppression of two factions, which, though unconnected, as the ecclesiastical and the military seemingly are, are one in principle neverthelese. These factions consist of the clergy and the old military chiefs ot the country. They are both opposed to the liberty which the poopie seek to enjoy, because their privileges would be abol b liberal system of government. The clergy cwealthy and the old soldiers mercenary. both unanimous in their oppressive views; the clergy dare not work openly against tbe people, but as the military will do anything for pay they have found them strong co- adjutors in defending their cause. Bat now the means ef the clergy are exhausted, and their military friends will not budge in favor of the cause unless they See the money coming. This the clergy are unable to procure, and hence the complete triumph of the liberal party. war will cease when its instigators shall have exhausted their means. There will be enough patriots when the clergy have naught more to bribe them with. Comonfort would be this day at the head of government if the clergy had not possessed means with which to tempt biz covctous- ness, Zuloaga, the self-constituted President, would not have sustained his position a whole year if the clergy had not afforded him the means. Again we say that those means have been consumed, and where are they to raise more when the constitution of '87 be again enforced? Surely not from their estates and immuuities, for they will all be confiscated, ana their privileges all’ coerced. The wealth of the clergy has heretofore been the ground- work for civil warfare; when that is no more there will be peace. Mexican Views of the President’s Message.

Was it not this government which, in Guanajuato, ap- | ied all its revenues, sold with unheard of sacridces all its real property, resorted to the must costly expedients, without asking one cent from foreigners, and respecting, as its duty was, the inviolab'e deposit of money in its mint? Is it not’ well known that this legal goverament in Guadalajara had recourse to the last extremity rather than to commit the slightest violence, risking rather a thousand times its existence and that of its cause than to be guilty of an act that might compromise its reputation? To what degree, in Vera , did it carry the respect for existi conventions, whilst the troops ‘were without sheltor an the heroic defenders of Perote perished by famine and — rovisions? of gave up that point for want hg a ‘is conduct be com of Mexico, with the PF fore with the violence committed against the consuls on the part of the insurrec- tionists belonging to the privileged classes. ‘efore, ize reproaclies in the manner it has been done, as if in a document that to be so circumspect, passion was permiite’; as if there were not many Americans witnesses of the facts, and as if the Pre- sident himself, who accuses us, had not within bis reach the meags to inform himself of the truth of these diffe- rences? riods when a liberal government was estab- ished It Mave proofs of its friendship for the United States, as likewise for other nations; their reclamations were at- tended to in the midst of the most distressing circum- stances, and it would be sufficient to publish the protocols of Messrs. de!

In documents of such importance as that referred to, it seems to us that whatever is not founded on certainty ‘sof an adventurous character; to lay down as antece- dents facts which do not exist, or, at least, are doubtful, ‘seems to us a procedure not very considerate. Which are those points of the republic whore the numerous cases of assassination, spoliation and persecution of American citi- zens on the part of political parties have taken place? Is it the invasion of filibusters repelled by Pesqueira in Sonora? We do not believe it, because those bandits were not American citizens; aud were it even so, piratical in- vasions cannot shelter themselves uader the protection of treaties. Is it some isolated case of highwaymen? We do not recollect any; but supposing, without conceding it, such a case, what would be the charge thrown upon the political partice? If in moments of disorder in Some locality there should have been excesses of all kinds, neither assassination, nor fire, nor plunder, nor whatever calamities may ensuc out of civil war, could be qualified as a persecution aimed at certain individuals. What answer would the United States have given concerning the occurrences in California when, reason and right being superseded, the revolver took their place, and that society bearing the name of the great, powerful American government, presented the as- pect of a camp of banditti? The protection of Americans on the part of the logiti- mate government was so evident that by its enemies it been interpreted as a traitorous understanding, that it was tainted with the name of annexationist, that its sympathies with liberty, its love of fo- deral institutions, its admiration for that really sovereign people,’ were stigmatized as so many crimes against ity, a8 so many attempts against the independence of the country, miscongieving that we are longing for and ens Soreecrsing the creation of a republican continental policy and the friendship of the United States, precisely use we believe that those ad- vantages ma\ obtained without staining our honor and without our humiition being indispensable to the United States. On account of the hatred borne by the reactionary fac- tion to the liberal party, on account of the servile flattery towards the Spanish party—the soul of the serviles—some complaints of Americans against the factions may be well founded; but against the constitutional government, no— a thousand times no. Whatever in this respect the mes- sage expresses te Ac dl reason for deploring that the American Minister recognized the conspirators of Mexico, but not as a ground for accusing the republic, still less the legal adirgeerag The case alleged of Mr. Forsyth concerns violence com- mitted in the ital. Who are those Americans offended and ill treated at points which acknowled, the constitu- tional government under whose command are the greater portion of the States of the federation? With good reason Mr. Buchanan th'nks thatthe triumph of the legitimate government would put an end to the dif- ferences with the United States. The policy of our go: vernment recognises justice as its basis; its guide was always truth; and in whatever concerns right, without regoiting to the subtleties of a grovelling diplomacy, it would sacrifice itself with regard to the United States and to the other nations in order to secure the peace of the nation. This eolemn declaration to observe the law, this frankness in being the first to extend a friendly hand’even to those nations which Sudee us with so much bitterness, reuders any hostile Le ensi0u gratuitous. Is there no belief in the justice of the reclamations nddreesed tous? Arethere no proofs of our love of concord, of our zeal to fulfil our promises? is The picture given of the States of Sonora ana Chihuahua deserves some reflections. If by the invasions of the Indians somebody suffers, it is the Mexicans, who by the annulation of Art. 11 were delivered up to the fury of the barbarians. The American civilization pushes the latter upon the former; to complain of those evils is the same as if he who stands at the head of the current would accure the thirsty animal which is drinkiog lower down of making it muddy. Mexico is the suffering party; her ficeh is palpitating under the onslaught of the Indians; it is ber blood the savage hordes are drinking; her bones ore lying unburied, and are blanched by the sun of the desert; the rifles, the powder, whatever weapons of de struction are employed, @o not come, as everybody well knows, from the factories and the commerce of Sonora and Chihuabna. The wars with the Indians date from the time of the colenial government; the presidios being destroyed, peace violated, the military colonies annihilated, and the frontier, y the separation of California and New Mexico, con- ted, the evil falls on Mexico. The local governments are not powe.less, as is proved by Senor Coronado having marched over a thousand men into the centre of the republic to the defence of the legal government. Peace will restore to the States that energy now taken from them by civil war.

A Cuban Ai it for Annexation. OUR CUBAN CORRESPONDENCE. Havana, Jan. 10, 1859.

The expectations of all the Cubans and rich old Spaniards are greater than ever, from the policy expressed by Pre- sident Buchanan in his message. Tho greatest proof of this is that the latter are buying lands and other real estate. They expect to sell at better prices, notwith- standing what they say and must say in Cuba tosave their necks from the garrotte, ‘We do not include in this remark the ignorant old Spa- niards, who have the common idea, to which the govern- ment bas led them, of thinking that the annexation of Cuba to the United States, by purchase or by war, means in its effecte tho transfer of their private property. They belicve that the American government is an immoral one; which idea, through the public press and in private, General Concha inculcates, leading them to suppose that the United States have no laws, or that it is permitted by tuem to rob and take what is the property of another. But many of them kuow that if they have shops they will sell more; if they have real estate it will increase in value, and they can keep or sell; and if they are occupied in commerce the activity will be greater, and the means of making money greater aleo, Many old Spaniards live in the United States, and immense fortunes have been made and are made every day, by rightand legal means, without entering into the slave le, which is generally the most frequent resource in Cuba, amongst a certain class of old Spaniards, as from taste and education no Cuban is mixed up in tbis degrading business. ‘The Cubans themselves, to whom the fruit of the pros- perity of the island rightly is due, have preferred agricul- ture, which is the basis from which all industry dorives its profits in Cuba, They know weil enough by education there, and from their frequent visits to the United States, what progress to expect, and the good and friendly market which they will naturally have for thelr produce, re. ceiving at the same time at much less cost the broadstuffs and articles for their own consumption and that of their slaves, which they are now force: rhe 4 dear and bad, under the protective or Peohibitory 4 And no doubt this would result in a profit for them of 80 to 40 per cent average, as the abominable export. du- tieo will naturally, 6 ayelibed in Cuba; and the joyport duties paid in the United States, av tue rate or from 24 or 80 per cent, will also be saved, under the new state of things, both to the producer and consumer. The impoli- tic tax called alcabala, imposed on the value of sales of real estate and slaves, levied at the apparent rate of 61; per cent on their nominal prico— il we say, as the sales are generally made at long instalments, and remit. ting only half or less in cash—making it equal to 9 or 10 per cent on the average. That tax prevents speculation and the natural increase in value; and when it shall not exist s0 much more will be obtained in sales, and another addition of probably as much more in consequence, mak- ing 20 per cent at least of increasing value fur any oue. The United States will derive not only material alvan- tages, but the command of the Gulf of Mexico, always iable tobe menaced by this island in case of war, and ft will give to them all they require now for the develope- ment of their policy on this continent and the security of the Monroe doctrine, But, besides the above considerations, the solution of the question is that of life or death for the Union—this being the secret reason of opposition proceeding from England and France. The first expects an opportunity to obtain from Spain a decree for the abolition of slavery in Cuba, ruining the owners, as Spain never pays her debts, creating a new San Domingo aud communicating the fice tothe Union. France desires a monarchy and cherishes the idea, flattering Spain with the opportunity of gotting rid of a prince whe disputes her throne, and thus bring- ing near to the United States a mouarch’ to disunite the Unioa and propagate her principles of a despotic govern ment. Both questions must be decided immediately, at any risk and cost, as it is all importat to ward off from the Union all dangers that menace her. On what grounds the United States are authorized to seize Cuba is well indicated, but there are many others besides those stated by Mr. Buchanan, Inthe first place, Cuba is not, by far, a government that can be tolerated by any civilized nation. It is rather a focus of outlaws, tle preeent Captain General having beea once declared a traitor and condemned to death ia Spain, who wishes to keep far off such contagion, white she is robbing and kill- ing through the orders of the aforesaid Governor, invest- ed with the arbitrary powers of suspending any Judge that does not follow the programme formed by himself in regard to any individual, either a Cuban, a citizen of the United Stated, or English or French, ‘The present system of administration js, the Captain General addresses the highest tribunal, declaring that such a man is a filibuster and deserving imprisonment, This order the tribunal obeys, and then three or four men are selected by the Governor from amongst his own pco- pe to ajtest that he has spoken in favor of annexation, or he is accused of secreting arms for revolutiqary purposes, which arms, probably, have been placed in their hiding places by the minions of the acouser himself. In case the Judges dd not obey, they are suspended, ag was the case when they gave sentence in fayor of Mr. Embil, who op- posed the robbing of some of his property. Seven Jadges of the Inferior and Superior Courts were suspended. Such an awful state of affairs, which exposes daily the property: and lives of citizens of every nation, cannot @ tolerated or accepted as legitimate whea it is really a farce on justice. England, iu her commiseration for the slaves, has not thought of the condition of the still more degraded inbabitants of Cuba—which she would soon know if she was represented by a congul less disposed to submit to the demands of General Concha and his worthy Go- vernor Echeverria. Ask Einbil, ask Pedrero, ask the Mar- quis of Proclamacion, or any well informed’ person who has lived in Cuba, and they will all prove that robbery is the normal condition under Concha, and that the laws and. rights of property are vain words. : Bat would England present any real and practical diffical- ty to obtain Cuba and save the inhabitants and the Amori- can Union? There is none. If the Preident had sufficient capital at his command to buy or advance en the stock of cotton, and thus prevent shipmonts to Kagland during three or four months, this would be enougif even for her own people, who will be in too mi iserable a condi- tion to bear it. In fact, $30,000,000 go invested is merely the loss in interest of $600,000. How could cheaper war be carried on’ At the game time one mil- lion of her inhabitants would emigrate into the Union in search of occupation, which would be equivalent to a protit to —_ Mon san of one hundred millions of dollars. “ranoe cherishes @ scheme of monarchy, and land another of the abolition of slavery, neither of whieh is easy, and above all, they are not worth a war to combat. France, knowing that England will not assist Spain by en- tering into a war with the United States, can with impu- nity offer to’ join England, and thus flatter and humbug Spain without running any risk. Bat will both Kogland and France decide to oppose the acquisition of Caba by the United States when they foresee the cortainty that the U er States will accept the war rather than not suc- ceed Let, then, the government of Mr. Buchanan exact of Spain the immediate payment of her claims, and if it is not responded to in twenty-four hours, blockade tho ports of Cuba. Letthe American citizens buy Spanish debte— fome claims that Spaia docs not pa; $20,000,000 can be bought for $1,000,000—an:| exact tho immediate payment ot principal or interest, and if the demand is not satisfied in twenty four hours, act the same as Concha did with Gar- za at Tampico—open his guns on the ports of Cuba. Mr. Buchanan proposes the purchase of Cada, and the capital mvested in acquiring it through peace or war, Cuba, as & State can yey. by the debt will regult,in one or the other case . to $50,000,000 or $100,000,000, the interest will be from $3,000,000 to $6,000,000 per anniim: as Cabs, is now taxe 3,000, Yearly, th i ain $19,000,000 to $16,000,000 for the Werral oh ee vernment. This jore than what the Uaited States pays herself on hor own debt. The $22,000, with Sllberal taritf, will be easily mute up ty ofen Con bart ot what Cubans now pay, in consequence of over prices of necessaries, which excess procecds from the ive of prohibitory tariff. We must suppose that both England and France will be content with making a noise, while it Js not diffleult for them to acknowledge the advantage they can both derive in their commerce with Caba under the new era. The liberty of worship permitted to all will he another advance im civiliztion that can never be €x vy obtained pected from Spain. This advantage \d result in a change from the Jstate, like that of wo & Cuba can be Fue conden, see’ > count ledges 6 ad of the oo of the United States ani that ‘a0qt the same reason will apply in to Cubs. We must truly ae an Caio here in favor of th» complete independence of Cuba is no longor a question. The being too much corrupted by the vices that Spain has left everywhere she has dominated, make it impossible for her to follow such a plan. Later, when a new generation, mixed and amelio have acquired the necessary virtues, with greater Ax and stronger in respect, we can think of that and how to obtain it, at in favor of the United States, with what treaties of commerce, in case it should be also an advan- ~ for the United States. ‘e all kuow that a change was quietly effected in Louisiana, Texas and California, and the tranquillity of Cuba can continue the same, while now it exists only in name, as General Concha has avowed in his official doou- ment, published in June. This will be evident to any one who considers that the policy of the country under self it is to be made by the same inhabitants. A change will enable every oue to know what he possesses without t t of proporty—s right of which now any one can bo deprivod by a military order, We shall be free of that numberless band of Dan ditti, under the name of slave traders, under the pretext of Persecuting whom the houses of every one principally in the country are daily pillaged. We have no longer a law of appropriation that means the robbery of what another desires Tor his own profit, under the countenance of a military satrap. Fashions for January. (From Le Follet.} ‘We have been asked lately what is the favorite co'or this season? For visiting there is nothing very decided; but after black, which is certainly the most worn, and is a8 greatly in favor as it was last year, the colors most fashionable are brown, green and violet. For fall dress, that is to say, for dresses of velvet and satin, the new colors, groseille des Alpes and peach blossom, are the most fashionable. hf Tarlatine will not be the fashion this winter; tulle will bo more worn, and we approve of thechange. It was always difficult for us to comprehend how women of taste andele- gance could wear diamonds with a material simple euorgh to be worn by a school girl, but which was too frequently found mixed with lace, ribbons and wreaths, thereby des. troying that simplicity which was its principal charm. Tale Neeasen with two skirts, the upper one raised with bouquets, will be very ‘generall: ado) |. Some, however have 12 flounces, trimmed with r Of tulle, gauffere: ribbon, or chenille. Others have the flo worked with colored silks or velvet flowers. We have soen an elegant dress of white silk with two skirts; the lower one trimmed with a wide bouillonne of tulle, the upper one at the sides id trimmed with a wide plaited trimming, edged with ruches of blonde, ‘We have lately seen a great novelty in dress. Thoskirt” was com} of alternate breadths of violet terry velvet and black cut velvet. It was quite plain, but vory full and long. The two side breadths were trimmed with ele- gant paseementerie, violet and black. fh body, made to match the skirt. Small full sleeves, in alternate stripes: of violet and black, with epaulette and cuff covered with passementerie to match that on the skirt. ‘The materials most in favor for this season for neglige are gros d’Ecosse, terry velvet, Ottoman velvet, imperial velvet, and tweed. These materials are all very thie and warm. The ekirts are generally made plain—it is even considered good taste not to ey any trimming on the skirt; rich trimmings are left for dresses of satin and moire antique, which are still very much worn. The moire antique, with Pompadour bouquets, are reserved for full dress; moire, mixed with satin tinted, for visiting | qa reas. Velvet dresses are always made with a point behind and infront. Some of our elegantes have lately revived the fashion of wearing dresses of this material opened en coeur, aud trimmed round the top with rich lace; small bouffantes sleeves with a fallof lace, deep bebind, and raised in front of the arm. The four following dresses formed part of the trossean of a bride of distinction: The first was of azure-bluo vel- vet, high body, buttoned with hires, This dress was trimmed with chinchilla, after the fashion of one lately worn by the Empress. The skirt was very long, forming almost a train behind. Tho tunic, which was cyl at the sides, was leper eee with far, and together with agraffes of sapphire. The second was ~ pad silk, with narrow stripes of black velvet spotted with pink. High body, open in front, and trimmed round with white 3 vos with a wide turned back cuff, a single bouillon reaching to the epaulette. The seams of the body piped with pink. A bow of black and pink ribbon, with long ends, p! at the side. ‘The third was of light green terry velvet, with double skirt, the bog? one 3 at the sides, and trimmed round wi cut vel wo er wi bows’ of terry velvet. A rich lace, placed at the edge of the berthe, fell over the sleeve, which was very short and, bouffante. le fourth was of brown silk, trimmod at the sides with long a of ma me oe with a ayers brown and groseille des Alpes. imming on the aki ‘match, only the cords and tassels wero mucl than those on the skirt. other elegant dresses were also bane ioe by the same clever artist. A robe of violet moire, the skirt very LD a are I | teimm randebour; é Bleevee formed with turee small capes, trimmed like the body. Undersleeves of tulle bouillonne, and trimmed ‘with Alengon lace. Collar of the same, as was also the small cap, trimmed at each side with a bunch of white azalias and violet velvet. ‘The other was of checked silk, light green and silver and trimmed sleeves were rey. The body was quite plain an high, ound the throat with a ruche of tulle. 10 ormed with bands of silk and puffings of tulle alternate. ly, drawn together at the bottom into a small band of silk, edged with tulle ruches, The sleeves reached only a little below the elbow. We have already expressed our belief that the bas- quine would be worn at least another season, and our Pinion has proved itself to be correct by the ‘increased favor it is gaining, particularly amongst ‘the young; nor do we wonder at thig, as to a young sylph like figure it is far more ful than the heavy burnous. The most fashionable colors are brown or black. They’ are made long, but not extravagantly so, and fit to the figure, but Bot tooclosely. Some of the newest basquines have had all the seams double stitched with white,§ a donble stitch- ing round the bottom and sleeves, which are very wide, cut square, 80 as to fall over the sieeve without showing the lining. The buttons are also stitched with white. fee a is quite novel, and wo think will be much em. ployed. <n elegant mantles were Jately sent from the magasin of one of our principal artistes; they’ were both of very rich black velvet—the first, in the shape of a shawi, trimmed round with two rows of wide guipure, headet with a deautiful insertion; the secend was in form of a casaque, bnt very fall at the bottom, and not fitting tight ly to the figure. It was lined with quilted white satin, and trimmed with chinchilla, Plaid plush is much employed, but principally for barnovs. For basquines or paletots, cloth or velvet are the favorite materials. ‘These are now much trimmod with narrow bands of fur. Loose in-door jackets are much worn. These also are frequently trimined with fur. The Algerian jacket, of vel- vet, embroidered in gold or silk, is exceedingly elegant, but not distingue. The Zouave jacket is algo still worn by some of our belles. We have scen one made of emerald green velvet, embroidered in gold; another, more simple, of ruby cachmere, embroidered in black silk, and trimmed round with small hanging buttons. White bonnets are very much worn in visiting dress. A very elegant one we have seen was white quilted satin, trimmed with a scarf of grecn embroidered velvet. Auother, entirely white, was composed of plain velvet, trimmed with a tuft of feathers, fastoned by a bow of rib: bon, edged with a light blonde.’ On thefedge of the bonnet, and on the curtain, was a wide blonde. The strings were white velvet and satin ribbon; on the inside of the front was a wide plait of velvet, finished on the left side by a small feather. A handsome violet velvet bonnet was made, with a broad band of the same material plaited on the front; to ‘this was attached a broad black lace, which fell over the crown; a second row of the same lace covered the curtain. A bow of broad violet velvet ribbon was the only ornament inside. The strings were alaq of velvet ribbon. —, ‘A more dressy bonnet was of pink crape velvet, ornamented by bunches of crape bows, with yelyet con: tres. A protty green velvet bonnet was trimmed with a scarf of a lighter shade of the same color, fastened nearly on the front edge, and arranged so that the ends, which wero trimmed with biack lace, fell on each side of the curtain, which was covered by a handsome biack lace. The string? were broad shaded ribbon, and across the forehead was an clegant wreath of green velvet leaves. |A very pretty drawn black velvet bonnet was trimmed with a point of green taffetas, also drawn; bows of velvet and taffetas inside, and green ribbon strings. In one of our ‘nost fashionable houses we have noticed that plain volvet is generally mixed with either royal velvet, taifs- tas = satin, and that in many instances the shades are varied. A handsome groseille velvet was trimmed with white blonde, and a smail bird of paradise placed on one side. On the inside was a wide plait of groseille velvet. A black drawn velvet bonnet, destined for a young lady, ‘was ornamented by bows of velvet, fastened with smali steel buckles. Across the forehead was aruche of black Jace, with a gmail buckle in the middle, and a small bunch of violet at each end. An elegant bonnet of royal velvet, checked with silk in a small pattern, was trimmed round the edge by a band of terry velvet; on one side was a large bow, and in tho inside of the front were bright colored flowers. Smail Pompadour caps of white blonde, with wide chine ribbon strings, and tufts of flowers on the side, are very much worn in dinner dress. Flowers and wreaths are always in fayor for ball dresses. ¢ Long graes, mixed with flowers or feathers, is a favorite ornament this winter, both for the hair and on dresses. The upper skirt of thin dresses is frequently trimmed with several wreaths, which loop it up very gracefully. Plaits of chenille and beads, finished by a tassel or @ hanging ornament, are algo worn in the same manner. . The following aresome of the most clegant coiffures we have noticed this season :— A wreath of pink wild flags, fhixed with long grass, ar- ranged in a cornet in front. Another wreath was of water lily leaves exquisitely woe with ponceau velvet. ir Was composed of a branchés of pink sage leaves, intermixed with water lily leaves, and finished by 8 long branch left sido, oe on the An clegant coiffure of white narciasus without loaves ‘was arranged as adiadem.
