PARIS FASHIONS. The Days of the Past Suggesting Styles for the Present. ‘The Dresses To Be Seen in Paris This Season— Colors and Cut—Heads and Head Dresses— Gossip of the Capital—At the Opera with Prince and Princessesin the Audience— The Boulevards Again Resuming Their Former Fascinations. Panis, Merch 15, 1872. For the last five weeks ladies’ headgear has been gradually becoming hideous. It has at length gttamed the climax of absurdity. The high- erowned hat, with its casvellated diadem; the nod- @ing plume, the bristling aigreite, its exotic Incom- prehensible fower and foliage, the streamers bej hind and bunches of black net struggling above—all ‘these put together, and then covered up with a vel about as large as a good-sized table napkin, prove that when French heads are left to them- selves not one single originality in nature or folly in millinery is to be kept away from them, A few female minds truly did protest against the new styles, buty silently: and not until almanacs informed taem that Easter falls just on the eve of Aprii Fool’s day did these contempla- fave fair ones attempt aught but the consideration ef thelr disfigurement in the looking glass. The - @oincidence of Easter, nowever, which is always suggestive of new feathers, coming so close to the Fepuistve notion of fools’ heads, caused a sudden outbreak. The parallel should not be made at the expense of women, and a now shape 1s the result. How ts uw to be? How is it not to be? that 1s tho question.

Ths, therefore, ts the present female ambition. Several noble dames and princesses have kindly lent their heads to be tried on, but there 1s division of opinion respecting strings among their highnesses. The majority abuse and repudiate them.

Yesterday Judge Blatchford was occupted for some time in hearing a motion in the case of Martin L. Sheldon vs. Charles Robert Ostensacken, The plaintiff 1s an American citizen, and the defendant has recently filled the position of Russian Consul Generat in the city of New York. The action 1s brought to recover damages for alleged libel. The plaintiff became the pur- chaser of several coupon bonds of the Credit Foncier of Poland. Under a law of Russia, passed in 1825, there was created at Warsaw a financial corpora- tion known as ‘fhe Credit Foncter of Poiand,” This corporation had power to issue, and did Issue, | @ iarge number of tts bonds of various denomima- tions, dates, series and numbers, and payable to bearer with interest at various dates.

Validity of Assessments for Street Improve. ments. | Before Judge Cardozo. In the matter of Addison Smith application was made to have set aside an assessment for paving Third avenue between 129th and 130th streets, The applicatien assumed & phase of special importance, as likely to test the question of the legality of as+ sessments for street improvements, It was provided under the charter of 1357 that all ordinances tnvolv- ing an assessment should be published three days in all the Corporation papers. Under a decision of the Court of Appeals in the Douglass case a large number of assessments have already been set aside on the ground that the ordinances authorizing the Improvements were nos published im accordance With the stipulations of the cuarter reterred to, ‘The present case comes up, however, under the charter of 1870, by winch only the ordinance is required to be published, while Its provided in one section that the Corporation papers shail be designated by te Mayor and Comptroller, It appears that the latier officials failed to desig- nate the yorporation papers and that the adveruse- ments did not appear in what had previously been a Corporation paper. It was urged for the appiica- lion that either under this law no assessment could be passed until the Mayor or Vomptroller has desig- ated the Corporation papers, or that untli they did 80 the papers previousiy named under the act of 1868 were tne Corporation papers, and the advertise- ment must appear in all of them.

CARL VOGT RECOGNIZ¢D. Light Dawning on the Brussels Murder (ase—A Witness Identifies the Prisoner as the Murdered Chevalicr’s Superintend- ent—That “Little Black Trunk.” At the examination of Carl Vogt, the alleged Brussels murderer, which was resumed yesterday Morning belore Judge Hogan at tne Tombs Polica Court, the case suddenly took @ turn that will un- doubiedly awaken even deeper and more universal Interest in it than has heretofore been felt. All along counsel for the defence have attempted to ; belittle and ridicule the case, and have made them. selves far more conspicuous for thelr petty and ane noying “objections” than tor any particular depth of legal lore. Yesterday, however, these genuemen | were FORCIBLY AWAKENED to the fact that the horizon 18 not nearly so clear for their client as they have all along affected to believe, by the intreduction by Assistant District Attorney Sullivan of ap unimpeachable witness who most | positively identifies the prisoner as Stupp, Cheva- lier Duboise de Bianco's general superintendent. In | vain did the counsel make use of every effort at their command for the purpose of shaking this wit- ness’ testimony, but so far from doing this they only strengthened it by bringing out new points | and touching up his memory in such a manner as to make him stl more positive as to his direct tes- timony. ‘The prisoner Stapp, alias Vogt, on appearing in the examination room, appeared QUITE PALE AND Ng&RvOUS. His eyes .ere consiacrably sank and altogether he appears a8 (hough bis incarceration was beyin- ning to tell upon iis constitution. Of course his of her tongue.

Mr. Suliivan bad, nowever, another witness at hand, but before placing him on the stand he would read tne following cable telegram :— TRE DESPATCH FROM BRUSSELS, BRUSBELS, March 27, 1872, CuARLRs MALI, Belgian Consul, New York Positive alfidavit forwarded yesterday.

Mr. Sulitvan now calied his witness, Mr. Cuaries B. Zimmerman, this city.

MALI, THE BELGIAN CONSUL, and stated to him that he possessed certain tnfor- Tation that might throw light upon the case. He received a note irom the Messrs. Coudert rotifers and called upon them. They requested him to ap- pear im Court this morning and give evidence, Which he had done. Mr. Sullivan, at this point, moved for a further postponement of the case, He stated that hoe had SUill other witnesses at hand, but he did not wish to examine them until after the examination of tue witness who 18 now on his way here from Brussels. Judge Hogan granted the motion and next Thars- day moroing Was set as the ume for the coutinua- Won of the examination. ROBBERY IN HOBOKEN.
