troops, that he had to attribute their defeat. Thus,
the starry banner, which Gen. Sherman himself in
his report states to have weighed so greatly.againit
the destinies of the Mexican Empire, had become a
cause of terror for the Juarist troops of Escobedo.
On the day following his first and fruitless inter-
view with Canales the former attacked Matamoras
and failed. He therefore retreated, closely pursued
by the latter, who left his fortifications. In the
pursuit, the partisan of Ortega had his brother
killed by his side, while crossing a bridge over which
the Juarists were flying, and turning from time to
time to send back a Parthian shot. After this defeat
Gen. Sedgwick succeeded in bringing about another
conference between the two Liberal chiefs, and on
this occasion the interview ended in a reconciliation.
Escobedo, the Juarist, 'and Canales, the adherent of
Ortega, embraced each other in presence of their
troops with demonstrations of friendship, described
ironically and at full length in the Mexican corres-
pondence of the New York papers. An announce-
ment was then made that the brothers-in-arms
who, the day before, were enemies, were about
to set out together to march upon San- Luis-Potosi
and the other places occupied by the Imperialists.
The result of this ' fraternal' expedition is now
known. Canales, whose brother had fallen under
the bullets of Escobedo, was evidently unable to
become so suddenly the sincere friend of the Juarist
leader. He had feigned a reconciliation in order the
better to revenge himself upon his former enemy,
and the more easily to reunite the Escobedists under
his orders. Nothing, besides, was easier, since, in the
battle before Matamoras, according to the American
letters, Canales had taken prisoner one of his op-
ponent's soldiers, whom he at once ordered to turn
face about, and fire upon his former comrades.
Those captured by Escobedo acted in that way, for
the Mexicans care little to know on which side they
fight."
It is therefore probable that, at the time when
these two leaders, apparently reconciled, were
marching on Sax-Luis-Potosi, or still holding revel
at Matamoras, Canales must have summoned
Ortega, who being sustained by the united troops
of both chiefs lost no time in causing Escobedo to
be shot.

Fashions for January.

(From Le Follet.)

The weather having at last become more season
able, the winter materials decided upon and exhi
bited for the last two months are now brought into
requisition. We are very glad to welcome the re-
turn of brocaded silks; there is hardly any dress
more suitable for an elderly lady. Young ones have
not yet adopted it, excepting for tunics or portions
of a dress. Satin is also very much in favour for
all purposes. There is scarcely any fabric so elegant
or essentially " grande dame." Velvet, that used to
be reserved for toilettes of ceremonies, is now mak-
ing its appearance for all kinds of occasions ; and
the velveteen, so fashionable this autumn, is rapidly
giving way to plush and poplin. The plush dresses
and mantles en suite look very elegant and season-
able, and require little or no trimming. Stripes are
still in the ascendancy, but arc no longer plain ;
they are formed by medallions or small patterns.
Black is most fashionably worn, but grey and violet
seem the favourite colours. Several beautiful shades
of blue have appeared. Very little green is seen,
excepting for in-door wear. Fur is very much
worn as trimming, the species preferred being Astra-
kan, sable, chinchilla, martin, miniver, and squir-
rel ; the two latter being preferred for very young
ladies and children. Grebe is also in great
favour, as are most kinds of feather trimming. Lace
is, of course, kept for in-door and evening wear.
Grelot and chenille fringes are also much used as
ornaments; velvets worked with beads or em-
broidered in floss silk likewise make a most elegant
addition to a toilette. For evening wear satins and
silks are much worn; but for young ladies who dance
lighter materials are considered preferable—such as
gauze, nets, tarlatanes, or tulles, worn over silk or
satin under-skirts. The usual trimmings for these
dresses are ruches, beads, and flowers. Many young
girls- wear foulard tunics and corselets over muslin
bodies and skirts. This forms a very pretty,
young, and by no means expensive dress. With tw3
or three muslin dresses with low and high bodies,
a :young lady can make a very nice appearance
through the winter evenings, either for demi-toilettes
or small dances, as with the addition of a silk or
foulard corselet and plastron the toilette is complete,
and can be constantly diversified.
Hardly any alteration worth mentioning has taken
place in the form and trimmings of the mantlts
worn this mouth. They are still ornamented with
small bands of fur, and have long handsome guides
at the back of the neck. The long hanging sleeves
are likely to come into great favour for cloaks, espe-
cially if made of velvet or satin. If the mantle is
of velvet or satin, trimmed with fur or feathers, the
muff is invariably made to correspond. We do not
see many shawls, but those are never worn trian-
gularly as they used to be, but always folded
straight like a scarf. We do not consider this at
all an elegant fashion ; but as the mode it is our

duty to chronicle it.
A few attempts have been made to introduce
some very ugly forms for bonnets, but those at pre-
sent in wear—the " Catalano" and the " Lamballe"
—are so very becoming :and elegant that we sin-
cerely trust they will not be replaced.
Criholine, in spite of all the abuse and prognos-
tications against it, is still worn. The form is very
much altered, but the skirt, let it be of what mate-
rial it may, invariably has a few steels, but only
round the bottom. For out-door wear, with the
short dresses, a small round crinoline is worn (no
lady ever attempts to appear in a short dress withe
-
out one). With an in-door or evening dress th
crinoline is long behind, an made with a train.
Linen collars and cuffs with mdedallions of lace are
much worn ; very fine tatting is also much in favour
for this purpose.
The hats worn are exactly the same as those in-
troduced last month, and aro ornamented in the
same manner, the materials being generally velvet,
felt, or beaver.
There is an endless variety of lace and muslin
bodies, both high and low, intended to be worn with
corselets. Some are exceedingly elegant ; none
more so than those formed of alternate medallions
of lace and satin- stitch embroidery.
We have seen several very elegant muslin and
lace peplums, also some of black figured net with
lattice-work of coloured velvet spotted with co-
loured beads. One peplum basque shown to us was
formed of black velvet, about four iucheii wide,

The following general orders from the Horse
Guards have been issued by command of the Duke
of Cambridge :
" The Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief hav-
ing, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State
for War, represented to the Queen that it would be
highly desirable, and for the good of the service, to
extend the system of five years' Staff appoint-
ments to field officers of the Depot Battalions, tak-
ing care, however, that the application of this spe-
cial staff rule should press as lightly as possible on
the officers now serving in Depot Batta,ions, her
.Majesty has been pleased to approve the following
regulations taking effect from the Ist of October,
1866, viz. :
" 1. The present lieut.-colonels of the Depot
Battalions shall remain in undisturbed possession
of their appointments until removed by casualties
of service—i.e., promotion to the rank of general
officer, appointment to the Staff, or any other bene-
ficial position, voluntary retirement on full or half-
pay, death, &c.
" 2. The majors shall, in like manner, retain their
appointments until removed by promotion to lieut.-
colonelcies on full or half-pay, or to the Staff, or
other beneficial position, or by death, &c. If, how-
ever, the promotion bo to a Depot Battalion, the
command of the battalion shall be vacated at the
end of five years.
"3. Field-officers appointed at any period here-
after to Depot Battalions, whether from half-pay or
from some full-pay position, shall be removed, as a
matter of course, at the end of five years, except in
cases of reappointment at the discretion of the
Field-Marshal Commonding-in-Chief.
"4. As a general rule, every lieut.-colonel re-
moved from the Depot Battalions to the half-pay
list shall be replaced, in the usual manner, by an
officer from half-pay, to serve or sell ; but the eligi-
bility of the senior major, if he has been appointed
under the new rule, to succeed to a vacancy so
caused shall be left as a matter for consideration,
dependent upon that officer's standing and service
in the army, and the probability of the lieut.-colonel
removed to the half-pay list obtaining the rank of
major-general within a period of two years.
" 5. The present -adjutants of depot battalions
shall, in the same manner as the field officers, be al-
lowed to retain their appointments until removed by
promotion to majorities on full or half-pay, or (upon
application) to half-pay majorities after six years'
service as adjutants, or to the Staff or other benefi-
cial position, or by death, &c. ; but the adjutants
appointed at any future period shall, after six years'
service as such, be removedby promotion to half-pay
majorities, when, if deemed eligible, they may, on
opportunities occurring, be appointed to majorities
in the depot battalions, and be allowed to hold such
appointmentefor the qualifying period of five years,
it being understood, however, that the adjutants aro
not to be considered as having any claim to re-ap-
pointment to the staff of the depot battalion.
" By command of his Royal Highnesa the Field-
Marshal Commanding-in-Chief,
66 WILLIAM PAULET, Adjt.-Gen."
" It having been brought to the notice of the
Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief that the prac-
tice of issuing commissions to officers of line regi-
ments, Royal Artillery, and Royal Engineers serv-
ing in India, who have been granted local ranks in
that country, entails upon them thepayment of extra
stamp duty, and, as the rank in question was con-
ferred to meet purely local requirements, his Royal
Highness has submitted the case to the Queen, and
her Majesty has been pleased to approve a discon-
tinuance of the system of granting local commis-
sions to the regimental officers in question.
" In future, therefore, these promotions will only
appear in general orders by the Commander-in-
Chief in India, and will not be subject to confirma-
tion by her Majesty.
"The lieut.-colonels, majors, and captains who
hare been gazetted tolocal rank in India since July
4, 1865, inclusive, will not receive commissions for
such rank.
" By command of his Royal Highness the Field-
Marshal Commanding-in-Chief,
Wthuali PAULET, Adj t.-Gen."

Her Majesty's iron screw troopship Orontes,
Capt. 11. W. llire,• was paid out of commission
at Portsmouth yesterday, and will this morning
be re-commissioned by Capt. henry Helps and a
new staff of officers, the, latter, however, includ-
ing her senior lieutenant, surgeon, and several
others under Capt. Hire's command. Capt. the Hon.
F. Egerton, H.M.S. Victory, aide-de-camp to the
Queen, superintended the payment of the ship's
company, who were granted 28 days' leave. George
Macarthy, quartermaster, having served his full
terms of service, was recommended to the Admi-
ralty for the silver medal and £l5, gratuity for long
service and good conduct, and receives a pension of
£35 15s. per annum. Captain Hire improve& the
occasion by addressing the ship's company in a short
yet effective address, exhorting them to follow the
excellent example of their old shipmate Macarthy.
Some dissatisfaction was subsequently expressed by
the men at receiving only 28 days' leave in lieu of
the usual six weeks, but the reason of this depar-
ture from the ordinary usage on paying a ship's
