In ausion TO a statement which has appeared
in the public prints that the hatters of the world
at the Great Fair will decide upon recommending
some new form of hat free from the buckram
stiffness and rigid regularity of those now in use,
the Savannah Republican, foreshadowing the
. new style, says: "Such hats should be light with
flexible crowns and brims to be souched, if ones
taste prefers it, but maintaining generally oler-
ably regular shape. Hats like these are made in
some OF the humblest villages in Austria, more
beautiful than any commonly seen elsewhere.--
They adapt themselves to the shape of the head
without the least difficulty.

In all candor beg assure our old friend and former
host, that though unavoidaby absent, we wished him
unbounded success, nevertheless The editors of the
Enquirer more fortunate than ourselves were present.
and to them are we indebted for the following spirited
description of the change which has been wrought in
the appearance OF this lin by gone times ayoure no

''This Hotel has been put in complete aud beautiful

and furnished-and every part of it is provided with
gas and water. The rooms are large, airy and light
soIne-fhe passages broad and roomy, also the
stalrcases, and magnificent panorama of the city, the
Chesterfield bank and the river is seen from the top of
the house. 1t is now really one of the most commodi

was erected for Hotel in 1878, when it under
Buffers management. 1t has gone through many
changes-at one time used as the Medical College, then
as Hotel, again closed until it was purchased by

exposure, always inviting fine breeze from that quar-

We perceive, however, that Major Talman has all
ready encountered IN his new quarters, evil which
afaicts many of hotels and beading houses
But he has met it promptly, and his example is
worthy Of imitation. in this respect. The evil we al
lude to is the too-common necessity to which hotel
keepers subjected OF being compelled, through the
dishonesty OF servants to eed ofnegroes who have
no claim upon either their charity or good will Early

morning, some account of what took place in
Boston on Friday, when the Commissioner was
to decide the case of the fugitive SIMS and when
the Abotionists had invited all their kh and kin to
be present to witness the degradation of the State
Some of the more violent had even announced
their purpose of forcibly preventing the delivery
of the slave but these bravoes to be generally
considered by their neighbours, bold only in talk.
The refusal of the Supreme Court to grant the
petition of Sims for habeas corpus, is one of the
most important incidents of the case, proving that
the judiciary of Massachusetts is faithful to its
high commission,
