THE FAsNIoNs,-The English correspondent
of the New York Evening Star, in his last LETT
ter writes:
In fashion there are some novelties. Satin
bonnets wadded and quilted, are coming in.
Dark blue feathers are the embellishments Of
black velvet bonnets. Very rich silk, shaded
in stripes of full colors on light ground are
made up as cloaks. Jewish turbans are favor
ties in evening coiffures. Scare Spanish hats,
of moderate size. In ball costume, white Grape
spotted with gold, prevails. Dresses are worn
high, and collarets with them, made Of rich
Valenciennes lace. Short silks are muca
worn. They are expensive, which keeps them
Exclusive as yet. Large fans, painted with
landscape are In. They arN carved ivory,
richly mounted with gold and gems. Half
dozen ofbracelets on the wrist are fashionable.
Fur and lace velvet, are all in vogue now.
EARRINGS are worn very large. Plain kid
gloves and shoes are worn--to show elegant
simplicity!

The last day of the Carnival was observed
in New Orleans, on the 10Th gult., with more
than usual spirit. The day was very favora-
BILE, and thousands thronged to that part of the
city through which the iantastical procession
was to pass, in order to get glimpse of the
grotesque spectacle. Several of the New Or
lerns papers give very graphic sketches Of the
doings on that day. The Daily Times thus
nctlces some of the characters in the process
sion--
There was one mask who burlesqued very
successfully the present silk mania, He was
dressed as gardener and carried two flags on
lofty poles, containing inscriptions offering silk
worms, and, mulberry trees for sale. AM
other very comica one was large head neat
ly three feet in diameter surrounded by aTur-
/ ksh turban--a white polar bear and an Eng
sh game cock, the size of a man, excited much
merriment. These were in the same carriage.
A bridal party consisting of eight or ten per-
sons was magniicent-thoir carriage was
drawn by four or six horses magnifcenty ca
parisoned, and decorated in every part with
streamers, flags, and wreaths, coronets and
garlands of every description. The dresses
Of these masquers were also superb, and this
by far the richest scene of the kind. There
was an old cart also drawn by two mules, and
bearing banner with several inscriptions,
but they went by SO rapidly we could not dis
cover their bearing. We have never seen our
city SO completely delivered up into the hands
of la .foiiie. t52

THE MAINE BoUNDARY.-The following
from the United States Gazette, gives correct
general view of the cause and progress of the
difficulties between Name and the British Go
vernment. The territory under controversy
is in extent. nearly equal to the area compri-
sed in the states of Rhode Island, Massachu-
setts and Connecticut, with soil of inferior
quality for cultivation, but abounding i'll excel
lent pine and other timber, and furnishing any
quantity of water power for its manufacture.
The settlements are few and scattered, and
the inhabitants principally engaged in lumber
ing. To Maine, this territory is ofvalue pnn-
cipaly for its forests, but to Great Britain it is
of great Consequences a local view, as fur
,nishing the most direct route of land commu-
nication between the Atlantic coast, and the
st. Lawrence country.
Our readers probably know, that ever since
the treaty Of Ghent, there has been portion
off the territory Of Maine claimed by both the
United States and Great Britain, the U. S.
claiming to the mountains on, and little north
of, the 18th parallel, and then south by line
about nine and one-third degrees east of the
meridian Of Washington. The British, onthe
contrary, wish to cut down the boundary to-
465 degrees north, taking offa piece of earth
that would feed almost as many as England
proper. The line proposed by the King of
Holland was half way affair, and could never
be run. The two governments, that is, the
United States and Great Britain, have been

REFoRM.-The following "distressing''
communication was made to the publishers Of
the New Orleans Bee short time since, from
the Treasury Department:
Gentlemen 1T having become necessary to
make all practical reduction in tie contingent
expense of the office of Secretary of Treasury,
am directed to request you to discontinue
the subscription heretofore made to your pa
per by this department.
To which the Bee answers in the following
consoling strain:
Aware of the depressed circumstances ofthe
Treasury and feeling altogether opposed to
pursuing arigorous course towards that de-
-partment in its present despoed and bank
rupt condition, we have declined sending in
our account until its resources are somew hat
resuscitated. In fact, we would rather loose
our claim than embarrass the Government with
"a demand, which we very much doubt ifit
have the means to lquidate. We therefore
beg the Secretary not to make himself pnea.
sy on that subject as we ,0iu soait his convea-
ienee for settlement.

The ROSE BED OF BENGAL.--Ghazlpore
stands upon the north Bank of the Ganges,
about 70 miles by water, below Benares Itis
not very extensive town, but is justly eel
ebrated as the Gul-istan (the rose bed) ofBen-
gal In tbe spring of the year an extent of
miles around the town present to the eye a
continual garden of roses than which no.
thing can be more beautiful and fragrant. The
sight is perfectly dazzling: the plain as far as
the eye can reach, extending in the same bes-
pangled carpet of red and green. The bree-
zes, too, are loaded with the sweet odor which
iswafted across the river Ganges. The flow
er is cultivated thus extensively for the manu-
facture ofrosc water, that of Glazipore being
justly esteemed as surprising in excellence ev-
cry production of the sort. Whether or not
this may be attributable to the superiority of
the flowers or the process of distiliation, can
not say; but, as the roses did not appear to me
to possess greater fragrance than others of
their class, should rather refer it to the latter
cause, unless, it be that the wonderful abund-
ance ofthe material enables them to be more
lavish in its decoction than is elsewhere possi-
BILE. it's no less cheap than excellent: gal
lon of the most delicious may be purchased for
seven or eight shiIings. They do not, how
ever, understand at Ghazipore the art of distil-
ling the air of roses in the same perfection as
the Perslans. The spurious compound which
they endeavor to palm upon the traveller is
weak, and possesses a sickly disagreeable odor
foreign to the rose; but the purchaser is often
deceived by a little of the true air being rubbed
about the stopper or neck of the bottle. The
prices demanded for this miserable imitation
are exorbitant; the explanation of which re-
celved from one of the venders: he assured me
that long experience had taught him that it
was part ofthe character of the English to de-
spise everything cheap, and to consider any
thing choice and excellent which was extrava-
gantly priced -Oriental Annual.

MARCH OF MrND.-In the good old days of
our Republic, it was always thought necessary
for Legislatures to comply with the provisions
of the constitution and laws and to do those
acts which are therein commanded. Late dis
coveries, however, have let in new light upon
this subject, and il is now understood that
evasion of the law isas good, nay, better than
the performance of its commands, and as
natural sequence, what was once considered
arrant treason and crminalty is now counted
good and praiseworthy public service. We
are grieved to observe that our worthy friend
of the Cleveland Herald does not view matters
in this light, but as an article in his paper
contains statement of the facts which have
suggested then remarks, we subjoin it.
U. s. SENAToRs.-W are fast becoming
stiff-necked, 'rebelIious peoples; that is, the
Senator.making part. No less than four Leg
islatures have failed to elect, viz: New York,
Michigan, Delaware, and Virginia. 'Better
luck next time as Japhet would say.
Our NAvY.-The recent arrival of French
steam ship of war at this port has awakened
onr attention to the fact that great change
is about to take place in Naval warfare. In
the place of heavy ships of the Line impelled
only by the wind heretofore used--the Euro
pean nations are preparing for the prosecution
of a more active and efficient description of
Battle on the Ocean. The French ship We
loce is constructed to avoid the objection oftea
urged of the imposslbiity of providing sufi-
cient fuel for long voyage. With a fresh
breeze in her favor, she uses no steam, but is
moved only by her sails. Her paddles are un-
shipped by process and slowed away on
deck. When there is calm or head wind,
her sails are lowered on deck and her upper
masts brought below. To avoid danger by
fire most ottne rigging is of chain, and to avoid
danger by Lightning there is conductor made
of copper wire twisted like rope about three
quarters of an inch in diameter. te
With such evidences of improvement on the
part of European nations it is important that
the attention ofour government should be di-
rected to the construction of Navy ships to be
propelled by steam, otherwise five should be
engaged in war it would be under great disad-
vantages. Our government should recollect
that the construction of a ship frequently takes
years, and it is, therefore, necessary that we
should begin now in peace to prepare for war
lfthe Navy Commissioners have not the pow
er to build steam ships, 1t should be given to
them at once, that the Improvement ofthe Ma
Wy in this particular may not depend upon the
tardy movements of our National Legisla-
ture.
