THE QUEEN'S GILLIES.—Three of her Majesty's
gillies, who were out with ponies on Wednesday,
and were surprised at the Queen's carriage not coming up
to them on their way home, began to conjecture the cause
of the delay, when one of the party rode back, accompanied
by another, to find out the reason. Not meeting the car-
riage, they went on to the place, when

New Orleans advices to Sept. 25, published in the
New York Journal of the 4th inst., are as follows:
On Tuesday morning last considerable excitement was
caused iu this city by a report that the steamer Leviathan
had been captured by a squad of rebels at South-west Pass,
and that she had escaped to sea. A few hours later. and
another report arrived that she had been recaptured by the
United States steamer De Soto. Yesterday the Leviathan
arrived at the wharf at this city. The Leviathan was lying at
the Telegraph wharf at the mouth of the river, at South-
west Pass, near Pilot Town. About half-past 3 o'clock on
Tuesday morning a party of rebels, 18 in number, sprung on
board from a small boat, and, firing their revolvers, de-
manded the instant and unconditional surrender of the ves-
sel. No resistance whatever being made by the few un-
armed men on board the Leviathan the enemy put the cap-
tain and crew in irons, and made preparations to proceed
at once to sea. About daylight the steamer left the side of
the wharf. Two of the crew of the vessel were placed on
shore, after promising that they would not mention the fact
of her capture until she had had three hours' start, when
they were at liberty to say all they pleased of the affair. As
soon as these men were placed on shore they made all haste
to the telegraph-office and informed the operator of what
had taken place. In a few moments every person in the
neighbourhood was at the wharf, and the Leviathan was seen
by the dawn's early light' making off to sea. Half a dozen
men ran to a 6 pounder howitzer stationed on the wharf
and fired four shots at her, and as each shot fell short or
passed her harmlessly by the rebels chered and waved a
rebel flag, which they afterwards hoisted.

How COSTUMES ARE NATIONALISED. The
Gazette des Etrangers says that the Annamite Am-
bassadors, struck with admiration of the actresses of the
Paris theatres, have ordered of the costume makers speci-
mens of the principal female costumes worn in the fairy
pieces at the opera and elsewhere. When asked what they
intended to do with them, they said that they meant to adopt
them as the ordinary attire of their wives and daughters.
SLould they really carry their design into execution, future
o
travellers may be reminded of Europe by seeing h
