Although the winter season has advanced, the fashion of wearing an entire toilette of the same material is still adopted. Of course, there are only certain materials which is admissible. Cloth, or woollen materials, are thus worn ; but perhaps nothing is more suitable for this than a kind of velvet, called " Velours de Londros"—it is less ex pensive even than taffetas, and makes a more thorough winter's costume. It may be trimmed either with passe menterie, guipure, or fur. For visits of ceremony, a dress of satin, with a small casaquo of the same, trimmed with fur, is exceedingly elegant. Our subscribers will, just now, be the most anxious to know what is a la mode for evening and ball-dresses ; there fore, just mentioning a few favourite materials for those purposes, we will proceed to our long and choice list of toilettes.

Boys thus admitted are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and Wight till they are 11 years of age. With the view to secure the electron of the most deserving cases, the Committe have from the first discouraged canvas sing, and they do not print any addresses of the subscribers. The voting papers contain a description of each case, as care fully investigated by the Committee, anti with this informa tion the subscribers are able to judge for themse!ves as to those most eligible for free admission. This Home was opened in April, 1861. It was designed to take to the little ones whose charact r and circumstances disqualify them for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are those who, from neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and left to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish relief, and who arc now friendless orphans. Such are those whose parents at e breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who train their children in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, am! must lead them to a life of crime and misery. There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of age to 10. There is room for nearly 102, and the Committee would joyfully see the Home filled at once; they only wait for the necessary subscriptions. The committee feel constrained to plead for those who cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they ask—ls it right to make a widow and her family paupers for lite because ono of them (the naughty boy of the family) runs wild in the streets and is beyond her control? Is it kind to tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not 1 2 ,1 p her to put one of them into a Home, but that they must ail go into "the house?" Is it doing the best we can for the little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it doing to others es we would they should do unto us that when these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into the streets, or force them by 11l- treatment to " rua away," none of us shou d be found to care for them, to speak a kindly word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe them ? Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the other side, or else • exclaiming " Am I my brother's keeper ?" The nccessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi dent from the police statistics, which show that in London alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of age, have been apprehended for various offences, 79 of whom were convicted avid punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too young to punish though not too young to learn th e beginnings of crime. On the other hand, there are numbers who, but for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of sell-reli• mice and self-help, be permanent burdens to the State. he Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established to rescue the little ones, to save them from the prison on the one hand, and the workhouse on the other, and to endeavour to make them Useful members of society. — The daily routine of the Ins.itut ion presents all the fea tures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones arc cared for as eltildren they have their regular meals, their suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement, and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every morning is devoted to school work—reading, and writing, and cipherin.4 and Scriptural instruction, with occasional lessons in oljects and oilier subjects. But they are also trained to work. As they must all, and that at a very early period in life, earn their living by, the sweat of their brow, they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after noons Occupied with various industrial occupations— making paper bags for bankers, and white paper bags a b r e r w for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any who will buy them ; picking the coil for the mats, mending the c &hes, &c. some assist the master in the garden, digging, Planting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By degrees they are being made useful in the house, scrubbing and "mg - , while the elder ones clean all the boots, knives, &c. In this way it iJ sought to fit them for an active working life. 2d.

Grant, numbering 70 non-commissioned' officers 'and men, has received orders to proceed from the Royal Engineer esta blishment, Chatham, to Dover, on the 9th inst., to relieve the 7th company, which rejoins at head quarters, Brompton-barracks, on the completion of that company's period of service on the fortifica tions and works on that part of the coast having terminated. On Wednesday ten companies of the 85th King's Light Infantry, under the command of Major Appleyard, left the North Camp Station, Alder shot, and proceeded by train to Manchester and Chester. The remaining two companies of the re giment were ordered on Saturday to proceed to Newcastle-on-Tyne. On Thursday the 21st Royal North British Fusi liers, under the command of Lieut.-Col. J. R. Stuart, C. 8., left the camp-tit Aldershot, en route for Glasgow and Paisley. An order directing Capt.

Alexander Murray, commanding the 87th (Royal Irish Fusiliers) Regi ment at Portsmouth, who died at his residence in London on the 24th ult. while on sick leave, took place at Portsmouth on Saturday with military honours. The coffin containing the body of the de ceased officer arrived attire Landport railway station from London at 11 30 a.m. The 87th, comprising 359'officers and men, were drawn up in line facing the station, under the command of Major T. Lyons, and received the remains of its late commander with presented arms. The coffin was placed on a gun carriage drawn by six horses, and the funeral cortege then proceeded from the railway to the Southsca cemetery, marching in slow time with the bands of the*B7th and 52d Regiments, playing the Dead March in Saul. Arriving at the gates of the cemetery the 87th halted and faced inwards, resting on reversed arms and forming a line, through which the cortege passed into the burial ground. The service at the chapel and the grave was read by the Rev. T. H. St. George, 8.D., chaplain to the Forces. Three volleys of musketry, with as many rolls 'on the drums, concluded the ceremony. Her Majesty's ships Galatea, 26 guns, Capt. Roch ford Maguire, sailed from Port Royal, Jamaica, Nov. 29, for Bermuda, Halifax, and Plymouth, to be paid off. She embarked previously a wing of the 2d Battalion of the 17th Regiment for Halifax, the officers and crew of the Delight gunboat for Ber muda, and the officers and crew of the Bulldog for England. She had with her own crew upwards of 1,000 souls on board. The Lords of the Admiralty have accepted the tender of Messrs.

DISTRIBUTION OF 'PRIZES TO THE 46TH MID DLESEX RIFLE VOLUNTEERS. On Saturday night the prizes won at the annual rifle competition of the 46th Middlesex (Westmin ster) Rifle Volunteers were distributed to the suc cessful competitors in Westminster Hall. Sir John Shelley, the commanding officer of the regiment, presided. Previous to the ceremony the regiment underwent the usual winter inspection. With the exception of a somewhat scanty attendance, the commanding officer expressed himself very well satisfied with the appearance of the men. Addressing then the corps, -welch was drawn up in front of the prize tables, Sir JOHN SHELLEY fitst expressed the - pleasure he felt at finding himself once more amongst them. The dissolution of Parliament Lad taken him away at the period of their official in)ection, but he was glad that they had acquitted themselves so satisfac torily to the inspecting officer that he had given a favourable report of the corps to the authorities. After his election he had been so knocked up that he had been obliged to go abroad. In the ensuing year he hoped nothing would occur to prevent his being constantly at their head. It was usual on such occasions to make some reference to the volunteer movement generally, but for his part he thought it had lasted sufficiently long to make that unnecessary. The presence of the regiment was a proof that the 46th Middlesex looked upon the movement as one of the permanent institu tions of the country. When the volunteers first enrolled, the time had arrived for them to show that they were not going to stand any nonsense, and the course they had taken had raised them consider ably in the estimation of foreign nations. The pro gress of the movement had induced those nations to respect Englishmen as they deserved to be respected. The estimation in which the force was held at home was evidenced by the approval of till political parties. Although the 46th Middlesex had had as many difficulties to contend with as any regiment, he was glad to find there had been no falling off in time numbers. The strength of the corps was the same as last year; and hoped from a statement he was about to make, that they might in the ensuing year look forward to a large accession of numbers. He 'was sorry, however, to say that, as regarded effi ciency, there was a falling off. There was no excuse for such a state of things, for the number of drills in the year to qualify for an efficient were so few that every man, if he felt inclined, could make him self effective. A large number of men who wore the orni of the corps called the " larks" of and Wimbledon rev! Park, but they would effective and earn never insisted on men had always said that if men would not make them selves effective he should consider himself free to proceed against them and make them pay. That course he should certainly adopt, for so many re- - cruits were now willing to join that it would be better to get rid of men who would not d o th e i r duty. The figures this year were 259 eff e cti ve s against 330 in 1864. Their difficulty was one com- mon to many other metropolitan corps, vi z ., th e want of a rifle range. They had been depri ve d o f their range by an injunction, and it was only i n . August last they succeeded in getting the partial 113 - ' of the range they were now using. He hoped in the ensuing year to make a more satisfactory arrange ment. As a consequence of their want of a range only 107 men fired through their periods, of whom 83 passed out of the third class, 17 out of the second class, and 7 hadqualified as marksmen. Adverting then to the necessity of renewing uniforms after four years' service, the gallant officer stated that he and the officers of the regiment, with the assistance of the adjutant, Captain Henderson, had provided a fund, whereby considerable assistance would be rendered in re-clothing the corps, the men only having to bear a small proportion of the ex pense. He had obtained also the consent of the Lord Lieutenant to substitute a neat chaco, with ball, for the horsehair plume, which dangled so un pleasantly before their eyes in wet weather. Although the muster appeared a small one, and when he re collected how hard many of them had been at work, and that these were the Christmas holidays, he was well content. The gallant officer then proceeded to hand to the successful competitors prizes subscribed for by the officers. The 46th, being a working man's corps, totally lack that assistance to promote their shooting which is lavished in profusion on more fortunate regiments. The ceremony was therefore of brief duration, and was brought to a termination Ly three cheers for theedies who had honoured the distribu tion with their presence. The South —The Progress of Material Development. In making noto from time to time of the matoriel do volopmont of the South, after tho ruin in which it found itself at the close of the war, and in illustrating its impor tance, primarily to the South itself, and collaterally to all other parts of the country, wo have taken occasion fre quently to speak of the bearings of this material growth upon the political and moral well-being of the Southern people. The work of any given people forms to a largo degree the character of that people. For idle hands the devil always finds some mischief, and wo could have had no hope for the South, either in the present or the future, had its people, after their military defeat and industrial prostration, settled into inactivity and indolence, and into negligence of the ordinary ambitions of life. The fact that so soon after they lost the game upon which they had staked their all, they resumed to as largo an extent as thsy found possible the pursuits of agriculture, commerce, and general business, gave us the very best hopes that they would soon also resume, in proper spirit, their amicable relations with the people of the ether sections of our corn mon country. We have tried to encourage, and forward this resumption of industry, this return to 'prosperity, this material deve lopment of the South in every way in our power. We have brought before Northern capitalists the inviting fields furnished by the South for investment, in planting, in the mechanic arts, and in activity. We have placed before emigrants, or those who might purpose to migrate from the North or from Europe, the advantages offered by various of the Southern States. We have tried, as far a 8 we could, to induce the proper relations and feelings be- tween the 'white race of the South and those who were for merly their slaves, in order that both classes might work harmoniously and profitably, under the new coflditions, in the daily occupations of life. We have felt that those in the North or the South who attempted to retard the flow of capital and population thitherward, or those whose poli tical course was adverse to conciliation between the Sou thern people and the Government, or between the Southern whites and blacks, were dangerous enemies to the moral and material interests of the South, and to the material and moral interests of the whole nation. If industry has a direct action upon opinion and character, so, conversely, feeling and opinion have a very direct action upon indus try. In individual cases every ono has observed what stimulus words of encouragement may have upon a work .r • and very_ one-ha.. seen - the .poer result that CMl.l^ from a labourer who is sullen in spirit. So precisely it. may be with a body situated as the people of the South now are. We can incite them to activity and duty by deal ing with them in a spirit of magnanimity, as well as by enlarging the rewards of their labor through our contri butions of capital and population. The Southern people and press, in like manner, must remember that they may, by their expressions and spirit, exercise the most powerful influence upon those in the North who desire to co-operate with them in the enlargement of their material prosperity. Fixed malignity of feeling in a population, or the indul gence of whining, will repel capital and population from them, no matter how groat inducements aro offered of other kinds. It is for this reason, amongst others, that we have from time to time urged temperance upon the Southern press, and begged it to restrain itself in the use of that strong and exciting language which is always the favorite of feeble thinkers. We have watched with the most lively interest during the last nine months the progress made in material acti vity and development by the various Southern States, and by the South as a whole. Speaking generally, it has been as steady as it has been great. The South has been en larging its capital at a very rapid rate. And not merely from Northern investments—though these have been far larger than is imagined, except by those who have un usual means of information—but by receipts from the sale of its groat staples which escaped the ravages of war. In the item of cotton alone, it has turned out that the South had a volume which few had suspected. We gave yesterday some very strik ing figures upon this subject. Not to go again into details, it was shown that eleven hundred thousand bales 'have already been delivered at Northern and Western ports and towns, and of the estimated value of the whole supply (400,000,000 dols.) a large proportion has already been paid for in cash by Northern capital, though much of the cotton is not yet delivered. This vast amount of money is at this time being applied to the industrial development of the Southern States. Its influence has already appeared to some extent, but in a few months it will be far greater. The commercial growth of the Southern cities has likewise been enormous, and their present activity is really won derful. New Orleans and Memphis, Nashville and Savan nah, Richmond and Wilmington, all tell the same tale. Take one of these cities as an example, and a city about whose activity we hear much loss than that of many others. Our correspondent at Savannah wrote but the other day that before the war there were but two or three steam boats running between that place and the city of New York. Now there aro five lines of steamships on the same route. The Atlantic coast mail steamship lino, composed of the steamers Herman Livingston, Euterpe and Varuna ; Murray's Line, the Zodiac, Virgo and Leo ; Pioneer Line, the Chase and Hunter ; Star Line, the Nevada, America, Constitution and Weybosset ; and the Empire Line, the San Jacinto and San Salvador—fourteen first-class steam ships in all. There is also a lino between Savannah and Philadelphia and Boston direct, and two lines running direct to Liverpool. There are also two lines of boats with Charleston and two with Florida. Between Savannah and Augusta there are four lines —in all, sixteen steamers. In fact, the Savannah River has done more business in the last six months than it has done before in eight years. In those tidings, as well as the quiet but tolerably deep stream of emigration that is moving toward the South, we see sure hopes for its attainment of a condition of national prosperity unequalled in the past, and we see, moreover, prospects for the return of amity between all parts of our groat Unien.—New York Times. PROGnESS i KENTUCKY.—The message of Gov. Bram lotto to the Legislature of Kentucky indicates progress in some points, as appears from this brief account of the,docu mut :—" The Governor argues that the adoption of the constitutional amendment would give perpetual indemnity against any attempt to control the suffrage question through the Federal power, and recommends its adoption because slavery has ceased to exist, and universal emancipation has made freedom thoroughly national. The question as to what is to become of the negro, the Governor leaves to time to solve. He recommends inviting a superior class of laborers to develop° the mineral and agricultural resources of the State, and suggests modes whereby such laborers may be attracted there. He recommends each county to organise a military company to support the civil authori ties. He says the result of the war has been such as to for over banish the heresy of secession, and it only remains for the judiciary to decide that secession is treason to have the subject for ever and finally adjusted. Tho adjudication. should properly be had in the case of the chief of the rebel lion, to make it a precedent for all time to come. Of the conduct of Kentucky in the war he says Kentucky has furnished to the Federal armies, of mostly three years' men, 63,975 white and 25,538 colored soldiers, and ours was not the loyalty which draws its subsistence from pro mised profits, and its courage front distant danger, but that. unyielding devotion to principle which neither the loss of property nor present danger could overcome.'" ;_ .~~ti NEW 'NOVEL BY TIIHOR OF " JOHN HALIFAX."
