WOMEN IN MALE ATTIRE.

Among the schemes advocated by the fe-
male retormers of the present day, there is
none more startling than that which aims at
the overthrow of distinction in costume of
the sexes. AS general thing the reformers
either deny the existence of this project, or
forbear to advocate it publicly but the ap-
pearance of pamphlet from the Brussels
press, written by Miss H. M. Webber, in
which the male attire is boldly and inge-
niousiy recommended as the ''most appIo-
pirate ves,nre for single females" removes
all doubt upon the subject, and shows con-
clusively that the scheme is seriously enter
tanned. Miss Webber is a graceful and vg-
orous writer, and treats her subject with ap-
parent frmness. She adduces authorities 10
prove that, in early ages men and women
dressed precisely alike; and that the disinc-
tion in dress which now exists, was arbitra-
rily drawn by the male sex, in the tyranni-
cal exercise of power which they derived
solely from their greater physical superiority.
Her plan is TO restrict girls to their frocks IS
until the completion OF their education.-
Upon their entrance into society they are to
dress precisely like males of similar condi-
ton, and continue TO wear male attire until
the day of their marriage. Widows at the
end OF the mourning season are TO resume
mems apparel, unless they have determined
never TO marry again. In effect, this is a
scheme to distinguish marriageable female,
from married women and confirmed widows
Regarded in this light it has at least one
merit, and may on that account claim the
friendly countenance of the bachelor frater.

new lady acquaintance and prevent them

falling in love with married women.-Hold.

NEW YORK, Nov IL.
A horrible murder was committed, at
53. Dey street, this morning, about 10
o'clock, ut the house of Charles Rowson.
A Frenchman, the assassin, named James
Cornell, who was slightly acquainted with
Mr.. Rowson, and his sons, called upon
them yesterday, and represented himself
without money or friends, whereupon Mr..
Rowson gave him his dinner, and al night
gave him bed with his sons, Charles and
Lewis, whom Cornell attempted to murder
with dirk Charles was stabbed in the
neck and side, and Lewis in the abdomen,
letting his bowels out. The former may
survive, but the latter cannot.
The father, being awake, rushed into
the room, when the assassin cut his throat
from enr TO ear, and he Immediately expi.

The murderer attempted to escape, by
jumping out of back window; but fell
into deep sewer, ana injured himself so

Immense supplies Of aold.

Three steamers arrived at New York
last week. with California gold dust. The
Cherokee's gold dust amounts to two mill
ions--and the amounts, chiefly IN the hands
of the passengers, brought by the Geor-
gia ($693,0 ,000,) and Empire City, to New
York, and by the Alabama, at New Or
leans, will reach to at least a million more.
According to our ndvices, (rcmarks the
Baltimore Sum- two millions anda half,
destined for the United Sptes, were at
Panama when the Cherokee lett Chsgres.
Including the shipments to England and
Valparaiso, says The Herald, the exports Of
gold dust from California, within month,
dating back from the last arrival at Pana-
ma, will exceed eight millions Of dollars
If such an extraordinary expectation were
kept up, n hundred millions of gold would
he thrown into the market of the world
during tho year, exclusive Of the largo
amounts carried into Mexico. Bat this
