TEE NEW FEMALE COSTUME IN AMERICA.—The
American papers contain scattered items of news upon the
revolution in female attire of which a literary lady is said to
have set the example to the sex in the United States. " The
first example," says the Mihvaukie • Wisconsin of May 19,
of the short skirt and Turkish trousers has made its appear-
ance on East Water-street this rfternoon. The dress is of
green silk, and the trousers of white linen, full and gathered
into a band at the ankle with a short ruff. The appearance
is extremely elegant arid graceful. The young lady who
has had the courage thus to face the Meths and-Persian law
of long established custom, and d'scard an awkward and
useless style of -dress for one both becoming and com-
modious, deserves the highest praise. We trust that
a host of others will follow her example, and leave
street-sweeping to its legitimate professors." " Yesterday,"
says the Cleveland (Ohio) Herald of May 22, "two
young ladies, of fairest reputation and attractions, donned
the new costume, and though the observed of all ob-
servers,' made their afternoon promenade. Their dress
was elegant and beautiful. Skirts reached to the knee, and
loose trousers of white." The Philadelphia Ledger of N'iay
26 says :—" Chestnut-street was thrown :nto a singular
state of commotion on Saturday last, by the appearance in
the public streets, for the first time, of a pair of trousers upon
the lower limbs of one of the fair daughters of Eve. The
sensation produced was great." The Boston Mail of May
26 has the following:—" Last evening, or late in the after-
noon, our citizens were gratified with a sight of the new
costume. A sweet Miss of some sixteen summe•ti was out
on promenade, the observed of all observers.' She had on
pink coloured pants, a coatee, a belt, and nice little hat. The
Turkish dressed beauty was accompanied by a gentleman
who, carrying
a big cane, formed her protection. They
marched and counter-marched the streets, and went upon the
commun." And the Hartford (Connecticut) Chronicle, of
the same date, says
Several ladies appeared in our
streets on Saturday with
pantaloons, short dresses, and fiats:
As it was the first appearance in this city of this new cos-
tume, it naturally attracted much attention."

Turkish mob (unknown to the Government) produced the
degth of five, the wounding of six more, and the pillaging
of one hundred houses and five churches. The Sultan shot
six hundred of the m^b, condemned three hundred to the
galleys, and put one hundred and fifty more on their trial.
He has restored ail the property he could recover to the
Christians to whom it belonged, and recompensed the rest of
the sufferers out of his own purse.
WITS ESSES TO CHARACTEE,....,c, What do you
know of his moral character?" asks the president of the
court martial to a sailor in Jerrold's dramatic version of
Black-eyed Susan. 6, A good deal, is the answer ;" he
plays oil the fiddle like an angel."—The late Earl Dudley
wound up an eloquent tribute on the virtues of a deceased
Baron of th Exchequer with this pithy peroration He
was a good man, an excellent man. He had the best melted
butter I ever tasted in my life."
CROPS IN THE NORTH,--In many parts of the dis-
trict of Cunningham the winter wheat is but thin; the
spring-sown looking well. Oats, generally, are looking well,
except on very stiff soils, where they have rather a sickly
appearance. What crops there are of here and barley are
looking well, as also beans. There is a great breadth of po-
tatoes planted; the early planted are strong, and give ap-
pearance of an abundant crop. Hay, generally, is very
light, and field pasture generally scanty as yet.• There is
come Swedish turnip sown here and there. Farmers are
waiting anxiously for some rain for sowing turnips,--North
