Fashionable Intsiligence,


the commencement Of brilliant and gay season.
Invitations are out in all directions for soir6es,
balls and musical parties, TO any extent.
In the upper region Of Broadway, and round
about in that neghborhood, the leaders of the ton
are in perfect phrensy Of delight, in anticipation.
There two or three fair ladyes who are said to
be more distinguished than the others. The young
and beautiful ladies' OF two celebrated iuanciers in
Wall street, contend the empire OF fashion with the
blooming lady Of foreign diplomatist and the pas
Sc widow OF another. The rivalry between these
distinguished stars is beginning to be intensely in
teresting and amusing. The fashionable world is
about king sides, and the deepest interest win be
felt In the contest during the season.
Among other movements in the fashionable
world, we hear that distinguished editor in Wall
street, we'll known for his fashionable penchant,
was lately terribly blackbaled at the new Racket
Club" whose locale is TO be at the splendid
building now being erected by ex-Alderman Car
man, in Broadway, near Niblo's. We also learn
that gentleman attached to the Park Theatre, has
lately received the same compliments from the
same Club Persons, on looking into these proceed
ings ask whether man having taken the benefit Of
the bankrupt law, or who is lame duck in Wall
street, is disqualified from being member of this
society. The rules and bylaws were prepared by
two eminent counsel in this city, Mr. Emmett and
Mr.. Griffin. One Of the rejected candidates is
about consoling himself by purchasing magnif-
cent country residence near Tarrytown, on VIII ch
he is about to build magnificent Chinese pagoda.
