Notes and Comments.

PRoGREss oE THE New CosTUME.--The
Bloomer, or Turkish, or still more properly, per-
haps, the Persian female costume, seems to be
making rapid progress toward a general adop-
ton. The " Y. Tribune has collected and
published in one paper SO notices, taken from
the different journals, of the appearance Of this
costume in theii respective towns. All these
approve the change, as do ali others we have
seen, with only three exceptions, the Orleans
Co. (Vt) Gazehe, the WeStern IN. W Word,
and the Providence (R. ~ Journal, 1t now ap-
pears as if the fashion would certainly prevail.
But there is some danger, we think, of bringing
it into disfavor by going to extremes. The rule
in the Persian costume, we have always under
stood to be, that the skirts should reach nearly
half way from the knee to the ankle when car
ried above the knee they look too much like the
breech clothes of the Southern Indians.
A FEAT OF STRENGTH AND CHALLENGE
John Cummins, the little giant blacksmith of
this place, who works in PERKINS, shop, near the
west end of the arch bridge, on the Berlin side,
not long since, lifted, fairly, and clear from the
floor of one of our stores, where it lay, a pile, or
roll of lead weighing 737 pounds. Cummins Is
a famous blacksmith at all work, as well as a
giant in strength, and challenges all Vermont to
produce a man who not only can lift with him,
but who can do as well so many kinds of smith
work, from the making of a broad axe and shoe
ing a horse, down through all imaginable inter-
mediate contrivances, to a fox trap or fish spear.
THE WEATHER. May and June, up to the
Doth inst, have been unusually cold. The av-
erago temperature of that period, indeed, has
been lower than it has been, we think, for the
last ten years, the mercury standing only a few
degrees above the frost mark u greater part Of
the time. Has " the coming event. Of the great
eclipse of the 28th of July been "casting its
shadow before it !" Great eclipse years were
formerly expected to be cold ones. Although
we can see no possible philosophy in that old
notion, yet the wisest should never be above not
ing all the attendant facts Of such phenomena.

Proposed Coalition with Europe.

The Washington correspondent Of the Tn
bune has sent that paper a dispatch announcing
GA proposition which Mr.. Webster is about to
make to England and Franco for a joint protec-
torate over Central America and Hayti. 1t is
supposed that this scheme will settle the exist
ing difficulties in those countries. i ! Of T!i Itself he
a settlement, unless the States in question agree
to its provisions beforehand. What seems to be
new in the plan is the permanent combination
of the three powers for the settlement Of dis
putes on this continent. On this we withhold
all ommen till we have more exact details"
This move to enter into a new Holy Alliance
with England and France, to supervise and con-
troll the political relations Of North America, is
extremely appropriate as one of the series of
measures which Mr.. Webster has put in train
to establish the dominion of the slave power and
the strong government which he will thus have
an excuse for introducing to sustain it. The
stands which were succe- lively taken by Wash
ington, Jefferson, Munroe and Jackson, to avoid
entangling alliance with, and repel the %interfer-
ence of European powers in American affairs,
and which gave those illustrious chief magis-
trates such a place III the affections Of their
co%untrymen, seem to be without influence with
the present administration, the heads of which
now coolly begin tc talk OF a coalition with mon
arches to suppress liberty i'll America! How
ever much this movement may take the public
by surprise, it is, we think, 10 new scheme with
the administration. By recurring to the Presi-
dents message of last December, we shall there
find a passage containing suggestions respecting d.
Hayti, which we are warranted in regarding as
the principle on which Webster'S movement is
based. The South begin to see that Hayti and
Central America may soon be wanted for their
purposes, and that it is time to put them in lead
ing strings and as this cannot be done very
%decentIy by eur government alone, they had bet
ter call in England and France, whose claims to
the " protected" countries, if they present any,
can easily be adjusted by acceptable equivalents.
But we forbeOr further speculations on the sub
ject, and will only ask our readers to keep their
eyes on this and all kindred movements now
making by Webster and Fillmore for making
the slavery policy of the South predominant
through the land

Omitted Resolutions

The following resolutions introduced at our
late Washington County Convention, by Mr.,
Sprague' of Berlin, but upon which no action
was had, were omitted last week for want Of
room:
Resotued, That we believe it to be the duty Of
our Legislature to pass an act to secure the
rights of Working Men, to the property they
have or may procuce, or Its equivalent; in other
words, enact a hen latD.
h%eSoEred, That we recommend TO our candi-
dates Tor Senators, that should they be elected
to the Office for which they have this day been
nominated, they use all honorable means to &c
cule the passage of a General Banking Law.
HeSoiued, That we heartily approve of the
passage OF a resolution at our last State Con-
Ventlon on the subject Of Land Limitation to
actual settlers, and that without price.

The News of the Week.

The first item of news, in point of Importance,
that has reached us since our last, is the two
great and disastrous. CONGREGATIONS in California,
each far exceeding all former fires in extent and
loss of property. The fire in San Francisco, (of
which a general description will be found IN
another column occurred, by singular coinci-
dence, on the 4th of May, the anniversary of
the great fire there in 1850, which was said to
have destroyed one third of this i'll, fated city,
But the present fire is far more destructive, over
one hall, probably, of the buildings having fall
len a prey to the devouring element, and these
the most valuable in the city, Fifteen hundred
buildings, sixty-three of which were large blick
structures, mostly filled with goods, were de.
stroyed, and what is still more melancholy, a
half score of human lives have fallen q sacrifice
to the flames. The loss is put down in the &C.
count we publish at about fifteen millions, but
on gathering all the particular losses, it Is esti-
mated, in New York, that ihe real loss will be
but about eight millions, full one of which is in
merchandise. Even at this, the destruction of
property is enormous. The fire at Stockton is
also a very disastrous one to that place, the loss,
as we estimate it from the items given in the full
accounts, being about 81, 1000, 900.
In the chapter of public disasters, also, m
accounts of a great and devastating flood on the
upper Mississippi, Illinois and other tributaries
above the mouth of the Missouri, the water ris-
ing higher than ever before, flooding whole viii
lagos, sweeping away houses, cattle, crops, and
everywhere spreading ruin in its course. More
than a thousand people, it is said, have become
houseless BY the event, while the aggregate
damage Is almost incalculable.
IHE RESCUE TRIALS are still progressing in
Boston, the third case, that OF Morris. be,np now
up. In both of the two cases tried, those of
Scott and Hayden, the juries disagreed and were
finally dismissed, leaving the prisoners still to
undergo another harrassing trial unless the gov
eminent should have the wisdom-not wlll-to
enter nOHe p%rosequiS. We have noted the course
of the U. s. District Judge, Sprague, in these
cases, with deep surprise, and now, for the first
time, declare our belief that he has solIed the
Ermine of Justice, of which he has become the
unworthy wearer. One juror was set aside by
him only because he said, on being sharply in,
t%errogated, that he confessed that he felt a
general sympathy for the down-trodden and CD.

Judge sprague.

A recent London paper copies at length
the remarks of the Rev. Geo. B. Cheever
on the charge Of Judge Sprague to the
Grand Jury, emitting the article, "Can
moral obligation be destroyed by Legisla-
tive Enactments? 2" In The course of this
article it is said
CA principle is hele laid down 10y a
Judge upon the bench, which strikes at
the very existence of morality and Justice.
A principle is laid down, which, if this
charge were listened to, and its teachings
believed and obeyed, would destroy the
difference between good and evil, and make
power, in the hands of depraved beings,
the authoritative and just sanction of an
Just and oppressive law. The doctri .e is
barcfaced and evident, there is no loop-hole
of retreat, nor any possibility OF a mis-
take"

Great Fire at Stockton.

We are indepted to Captain Whitney, OF
the steamer G. M. Weber, for copy OF the
Stockton Journal of Wednesday, the 9TH
lrcm which we gather the following
particulars of an extensive c~onflagration
which occurred in that city on the previous
night, the estimated loss being one million
dollars. The Journal says:
"Last night about IL o'clock, as we were
preparing our paper for the press, the cry
of fire sounded through the streets, and be-
fore the horrid echo had died away, the veil
Of night was lifted from the city, and men
read destruction to Stocton in the lurId and
unnatural light that cast its horrid glare on
all they had valuable on earth. No pen can
picture, no print portray the terrific and
awful granduer of that terrible night, and
its dismal reality.
"The fire originated in a new aud beautl-
u house just opened under the name OF the
Merchants Hotel, formerly known as the
Branch, J and beyond a doubt was the work
of an incendiary. 1t is supposed that some
miscreant intended by this dlabolical meas,
to succeed in releasing the prisoners now
in the county Jail but the purpose failed in
its accomplishment, as the winds proved
unpropitious, and turned the course of the
devastating element upon more precious
and costly fuel to satisfy its long slumbering
rage. From the point at which it origin
ated, the fire swept up Levee street, pros
trating M%ontgomery's stately auction estab-
lishment, the large and magnificent Ri Pla-
Ger building, the EIdorado, Hotel de Meji-
co, Drs. Clements g. Rein's drug store,
Dickinson House, and all the buildings on
those W central squares. From them it
spread across to Central Exchange, and
in three qnarter of an hour from the first
alarm, our large three story building was
enveloped in flames. By the most strenu-
Gus exertions, we succeeded in saving those
buildings, although they were in imminent
danger. Every mercantile house on Levee
street, except six, all on Main Street, all
on Centre Street, all on Eldorado street,
except two, and all on Hunter, except three,
compose the victims of this ~incendiary at
tempt. We cannot comment further on thi:
lamentable circumstance, but in bitterness
of spirit turn from the subject to hopeful
antlcipations for the future.

SINGULAR PROSECUTION FOR GAM
Week before last, Boot. BENZ. F. CoNANT' Oh
South Barre, VT, a gentleman of respectable
standing, who has beed married some years. was
arrested at the instigatiOn of a malicious ,nelgn-
Dor. and brought before a court OF INQUIRY on
the charge of having, besides his present wlie,
another wife in Whitehall, N. Y, whom he had
deserted. The instigator, previous to the trial,
sent for this alleged other wife, whom ne hau
duned into the belief that he had found her
runaway husband but finding he could not
make the use of her he proposed, he secreted
her. refusing the Doctors chance of confronting
her. and soon sent her back. The Doctor then
himself went to Whitehall, where he never be-
fore ha been, found the pretended wife, whom
he never before had seen, and brought her on
to court, when the whole iniquity of this bare
faced and short-sighted prosecution was abun.
dainty exposed, and the respondent, of course.
at once acquitted.

SINGULAR DEATHS OF A MINISTER AND A

in this village, to Miss Rosiha Cobine." Also,
" At Congress Hall, in Racine, on the 10Th, A.
B.. Cranch, M. d., of Milton, Wis, to Miss L.
S. Wilkinson, of Burlington, VT"
Rev. B. Smith, and Rev. 7. M. Humphrey, it
appears, performed the solemn services of the
occasion. Verify, the good people of Burling-
ton have found out quite an agreeable way Of
dying! Is there no way, dear General, by
which you can extend the benefits of your dis
covery to less favored regions?

fully give him a place.-ED.
Ny DEAR FREEMAN;-Much rejoiced am |
to know there is at least one paper in the State,
that occasionally gives US knowledge of some of
the reform movements in these days of modern
improvement. 1t appears that Vermont is rather
tardy in adopting those measures that engross
nearly the whole attention of other States, at
this time. How much time and expense might
be saved to our working men, if our Legislature
would adopt the general banking law! More
than three-fourths of the time and expense of
o%ur-last Legislature was taken up Oh bills of
special legislation. Now, sir, it does appear to
me that the people are paying pretty dearly for
the e%nacting of laws, by which a fleece can be
the more effcctually taken from their backs
Working men, how long shall we toll and sweat
under this tyrannical lash?

A Prophecy

The venerable deceased statesman ]. @.
Adams is the author of the following pre-
diction, the first of which has already been
fulfilled. We hope to see the latter -
"Ah! the Wing party never will aboI,
lsh slavery-to secure power it will court
tile aid ofthe South, and eventually become
the pro-slavery party--it is the democratic
party, after all, who are to be the real abo.
litionists-it will from the inevitable ten
dency of its own principles, become the
great anti-slavery party of the country"
