fiké the Ysraeuves wao passed through the Red Sea in their flight from Egypt If the idea -is sublime, there is but one step from the sublime to the ridiculous. We will qmention only one more proposition attributed to the same fertile imagination, In this New ‘Yorkers are particularly’ interested; for Mr. Serrell, it is said, would convert New York, or at least Broadway, into a modern Vi » He would widen Broadway by having a broad anal, with picturesque gondola pass up and down its centre; a double railroad track on each side of the canal, and a carriage road between each track and the sidewalks, and sidewalks ten feet wider than at present, As for the marble palaces of trade and the other structures toe demolished in order to effect this widening of Broadway, their materials are to be sold and devoted to the liquidation of the national debt. Now, if Mr. Serrell has enough time, money and science to carry out successfully all his plans, we shall suggest that he also engage the services of the famous astronomer in Dr. John- son’s tale of Rasselas, and change our detesta- ble climate. The astronomer possessed the regulation of the weather and the distribution of the seasons, The sun listened to his dic- tates, and passed from tropic to tropic by his direction. He “restrained the rage of the dog star and mitigated the fervors of the crab.” Perhars Mr. Serrell will postpone the realiaa- tion of his stupendous plan for remodelling New York @ntil the astronomer shall have arrived from Abyssinia. Napoleon’s Plan for the Relief of the Pope, It was stated officially in the French Legis- lature on Tuesday last that the Emperor is in favor of the partition of the Papal debt among the Catholic Powers, This is an indi- rect way of pledging a number of the Conti- nental governments to the maintenance of the present state of things in Rome. Napoleon seems to be passing from one political blunder to another. His desire to retain a power of intervention in the affairs of the Pope blinds him to the consequences of this eternal policy of intermeddling. The checks which he has received in Italy, Germany and Mexico seem to have produced but little effect upon him. To the rest of the world it is plain that they have weakened his popularity with his people, and that a few more false moves of the same kind will entirely destroy it. If there is one question more than another which it is dan- gerous for him to reopen it is that of French interference in Rome. He got safely out of the consequences of hisefirst mistake in that quarter, and should be satisfied to remain 60. The voice of the Catholic world, at least of all ‘but the fanatical portion of it, is against the continuance of the Pope’s temporal power. But even if this were not so the Italian people are determined to put an end to it, and what a nation wills it will be difficult to gainsay. This guaranteeing or assumption of the Papal debt is simply intended to commit the Catholic “Powers to an armed interference if necessary; and if a step of that kind should ever be at- tempted we need scarcely say that the conse- will be fatal to Napoleon. He cer tainly will not be sustained by the French peo- ple ins war for such a purpose. The very idea shows that his mind is becoming weak- ened, and that, like Louis XIV. towards the Close of his life, he is surrendering himself to the influence of women and priests. Congressional Prefanity. ‘The discussion on Tuesday in the House of Representatives of the bill proposing relief for the South was characterized by an extraordi- mary outbreak of Congressional profanity. “Mr. Covode, of Pennsylvania, proceeded to relate from the Scriptures the story of how King Ahab was made to suffer because he had shown mercy to the King of the Assyrians, who, with his army, had been delivered into his hands. Before concluding the narrative he was inter- rupted by the announcement ofa message from the Senate, whereupon Mr. Ross, of Mlinois, inquired of the Speaker whether a message from the Almighty could be interrupted by » message from the Senate.” Now this question may have been considered a fine joke in Con- grees, but outside of Congress the moral sense of the community is everywhere shocked by #0 public and flagrant a violation of the divine commandment, “ Thou shalt not take the name -of the Lord thy God in vain.” Such irreverent trifling is not witty, but wicked. Its bla» phemy, however, is not more offensive than that of certain Congressmen who arrogate to themselves the divine prerogatives. Uniting with Butler and Covode in inhuman opposition ‘King “ girded sackcloth on their loins and put ‘ropes on their heads and came to the king of let go out of thy hand a man whom I ap- pointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life for bis life, and thy people for his If such blasphemy is tolerated at Washing- ton, it is, perhaps, not surprising that similar: ‘wanton disregard of the religious suscepti. bilities of the public is indulged in at Albany. The brethren and sisters of » Baptist church near the State capital have been grievously offended by Mr. Oakey, who, ina recent speech in the Legislature, stigmatized their house of worship as a “bath house.” To be sure he may plead in extenuation that he wished to retort upon the pastor of the church in ques- tion; the latter, in addressing his Sunday school, had innocently likened the capitol to “a lunatic asylum.” ———— ARRIVAL OF GENERAL SICKLES AT CHARLESTON.

How bis memory must have been taxed and his brains racked at the contemplation of the ex- travagance of the daughters of Zion! Look at the alarming catalogue :—‘The bravery of the tinkling orna- ments about their feet, and their cauls and their round tires, like the moon, the chains and the bracelets and the mufflers, the bonnets and the headbands and the tablets, and the earrings and the nose jewels, the change- able suits of apparel, and the mantles and the wimples and the crisping pins, the glasses and the fine linens, and the hoods and the veils.” But what would the worthy prophet say to the daughters of Gotham had he been obliged to follow them through the countless marts of the great metropolis during the vernal equinox of the year of our Lord 1867, and attempt to describe the bewilderng kaleidoscope that fashion holds up to her votaries on opening day? The words of the Western toamater when, the tailpiece of his wagon came out! and all his vege- tables went rolling down hill, would probably suggest themselves to his mind, “no expletive jin his ex- tensive vocabulary could do the subject justice,” The choice of the most fickle and treacherous season of the year by modistes for the display of the regulation habili- ments of the chameleon goddess is perhaps typical of her character and an indirect compliment to her change- able nature. The clerk of the weather, however, for once relaxed his annual frown on the opening day yes- terday, and old Sol smiled good bumoredly on modistes and their patrona, Opening day is as changeable and un- certain im regard to date as the subject we are about to treat of, but the majority of the leading establishments this year selected the 20th and 21st of March as the most favorable dates to display the latest novelties in ladies’ wardrobes, These dates are rather early for mantles and dresses; hence there was not such an extensive dis- play of these articles yesterday. The gradual revolution in fashion which has been going on for the past fow years has, we fancy, this spring reached a climax; for there is now a marked and decided definition of the dif- ference between the past and the present. From the flowing expanse of drapery and corresponding accessories, large, high bonnets and cloaks enveloping the entire person, that prevailed six years ago, we have almost reached the minimum of proportion in every article of ‘dress, The most striking change is im the form of akirls. They are made very much smaller, being out nearly straight to the figure, are almost plain im front, and have but Mite fulness even at the back. A daring innovation has “been added to the narrow skirts, namely, short dresses, which relieve the fair wearers of the necessity of becoming involuntary street contractors. The latter are, of course, suitable only for the street, and should never be worn for ball or evening dress purposes. We hope that the good sense of American indies will make the short dress a permanent institution; but we fear that the tyranny which French taste still exercises over our countrywomen will be fatal to the continuance of this becoming and useful style of uress, should it lose caste ontirely abroad. Visiting, dinner and evening dresses are made very narrow this season, with very Jong trains and plain skirt infront, Most of the sleeves are flowing, and some have a small sleeve inside. But deferring further remarks on dresses to their assigned Place below we shall commence with the cornice to the column of Fasbion, that greatest triumph of huwan art, the bonnet. BONNETS. It is singular that modistes have not yet discovered an appropriate name forthe microscopic affair that now entirely sapersedes the time-honored bomnet.

We have never witnessed before in the metropolis such a magnificent display of dress goods as was exhi- bited yesterday by some of the above named establish- ments, The looms of France, especially Lyous, con- tributed gome of the rarest and richest specimens of silks, Belgium her boundiess treasures of laces, and even: the Hindoo sent his unrivatied shawls and coatly mus- line 98 of to the insatiable demands of our New York belies for novelties. We can sympathize with the perplexity of a fair devotee of fashion, sitting in the midst of a Niagara of silks, satins, mustins, shawls and mantles, ed as to which to select, and vainly wishing that all could be melted down to the limits of a single wardrobe, The materials for the present season are silks, satins and poplins, and for the summer light tissues, and @ eee bine Chambery gauze.’ The last named material, the best specimens of which we saw at A. T. Stewart's, Broadway, is pon 4 oe ie aan ware thi ‘ace omelette we , in texture, In some of the patterns of Chambery gauze groen, blue and white satin stripes are woven in the material," One some ‘at this establishment was an im- itation of black connected with a red silk stripe.

Some of the patterns of these brocades are very handsome, and one satin dress we saw, with as velvet stripe woven in, was rich in the extreme, Im plain sllks the tints are very peculiar this season.

Oy keypad ae green, purple, ind in the prevail- ing modes, but the most novel tints of those colors, Bonnet’s unrivalled black silks are still in vogue, Lord & Taylor also bad some beautiful patterns for dreases, the most noticeable of which was a white satin figured’ with a wreath and droo) ing bouquet, as delt- ately woven as if timned with the wh of an artist in organdies the prevailing modes here are broad, longi- ‘tudinal stripes, with wreaths at the bottom. Dresses of such materials must look very brilliant by gaslight, and are suitable only for young ladies. The pre- vailing style im grenadines at the same establish- ment is ‘gray, intermingled with green or black, with beautiful chinta flowers, Both here and at Stow- art’s there was @ magnificent display of shawis, and the principal demand this season is only for the richest and rarest cashweres. ‘Three thousand doilar shawls are eagerly sought after at the latter establishment, and ladies prefer even the blanket patterns of the realarticie to the most artistically finished French imitations At Madame Demorest’s we observed some attractive dress patterns. Regarding dresses, we may add to our previ- ous remarks that handsome dresses are all gored, and cut go as to form a deep train. Some of them are trimmed on the seams, others in a simple border around the bottom, or to represent a tunic, with butions, rosettes or bands in front. It is very fashionable now to trim each seam of the os and there are various designs, all more or less striking and effective, All the lines, however, are straight or mdicular, tending to give an appear- ance of height, and this is greatly assiated by the lenuth of train aud reduction in’ the size of the hoop skirt. Most of the bodies are cut round, and they are ail finished with a belt and rosotva Straight sleevos seem to be going out fashion, all the later styles are flowing, some quite wide and Lmieharg pointed, with trimmis mostly ascending in-vertical lines, The *Poplum” an the “Pompadour® sleeve are both novelties, the first wide and pointed at the bottom, the second cut out square on the lower part so as to show the deep mousquetaire cuff now worn. A very handiome carriage dress, made by Mme, Demorest, is of drab gros grain, an indescribable shade suggestive of pink, was gored and trimmed down each seam with bands of rose-colored satin, wound around with fine jet beading. A pepium deeply pointed was turned back en revers with rose-colored satin, the revers dotted with small cut jet beads; large Polish sleeves trimmed to match. A v elegant sliort dress of salmon-colored goat’s hair clot! was out in large scollops at the sides and ornamented with simulated sashes, over a petticoat of light green silk, the coat bei trimmed with narrow cross-cut folds of black silk, he: with a arrow straw trimming.

Mr. Wy. H.

But the subject itsolf was one so vast in importance, and the notice of such a meeting s0 brief, tl he did not pur- ae doing more tban to indicate his heart’s concurrence in some of the views already presented, intending thore- by to add his testimony their correctness.

LECTURES LAST NIGHT. Facts on Food. William Henry Brown, M, D., M. RC. P., of Londen, delivered a lecture last evening, in room 24, Cooper Ia- atitute, on the above subject, in which he endeavored te trace the natural history of various articles of food, ama more particularly dwelt on the adulterations of them ap sold im the market. Tea and coffee he designated as healthful drinks after a hearty meal, on account of their nitrogenous qualities, which, he said, were often se- riousty impaired by the mixture of calicanthus, which: bad not the aromatic property of tea, and by Chickory, the product of the chicorium antibus, which was alse de. ficient in the nitrogenous nature of coffee. Beer was often adulterated with cocculus indicus, which createé affections of the spine, and by opium, which som: induced cerebral ere, Milk was occasionally eased, in which case the perfect white globules whic® formed it when healthy were spotted and marred im Shape.

The Catacombs of Paris, Egypt und Reme. A free lecture om the above-mentioned subject was delivered last evening by the Rev. Isaac 8 Hartley be- fore the Western Branch of the Young Mon’s Christian, Association, No, 76 Varick street. {The room was well filled by an attentive audience, The reverend gentler man, in @ graphic manner, described the catasombe of Egypt, pointing out; the difference between them am@ the catacombs of Rome. He had, he said, pal@ a visit to the Roman jcatacombs, and he placed before his . hearers the result of the observations he made in these wonderful places where the early Christians took from the persecution of Pagan rulers. That part the disceurse in which the lecturer adverted to the thea- eands of graves found in the caiacombs, to the mounds that had been made of the bones once contained thereim, and tothe inscriptions in Latin upon the tombe—im- scriptions which denoted the confidence of the Christian inthe mercy and providence of God—was listened with profound attention.
