It is unfortunate for the dignity of the press.
and for N. P. Willis personally, that such
scandal should be so lavishly dealt out for the
public's perusal. This occurrence will damp
en- the energies of the delineatOr of fashion
who, doubtless, was preparing to advocate, or
censure, the new attire which ladies are try
ing hard to introduce as a becoming requisite
to female dress. The fashionables here are of
opinion, that Turkish CARDS would be well be-
coming our climate, and only wait the popular
edict of a popular and fashionable authority,
TO give an excuse for appearing in Asiatic
habits. The late discovery that the Turkish
dress allows a freedom of exercise, which the
present fashion does not permit, and which is
the great argument for its adoption, has been
shown by a crusty old bachelor to have no
weight, unless the ladies mean TO introduce
the ancient domestic and economic exercise
of the "distatf and Ispindle;n such only who
are so employed requiring the would be fash
ionable dress. Certainly, we require no such
foreign airs, or foreign modes, for teaching or
exhibiting our young men morals, or our
maidens modesty. May Turks and trousers be
ever kept far from our borders, il they are to
carry away our national costume, and subSti-
tute the Mahomedan for the Christian attire.
The Gotham merchants are anxious TO make
capital out of the anticipated change of female
fashions. Only think of a Gotham court, com

Progress of the Short Dress MOuement.-
IN the Boston Traveller we find the following:
"A New York house has recently transmitted
AL order to Paris for an invoice OF dress goods,
with a deep border on the side. These goods
are intended for ladies' short dresses, and the
width of the cloth will comprise the length of
the sklrt.''

constant intelligence of falling markets for
some weeks past so low had the LiverBooI

Tomorrow, we shall have a procession of
Spanish loyalists-a most indiscreet and ILL
Judged demonstration-and, as it can only be
viewed as a covert mode of insulting the po-
pular enthusiasm lately displayed, we may
expect to hear of some hard knocks passing
between the professionals and the lockers on,
ii any there will be who would countenance
them. The following Jesuitical advertisement
appeared in one of our CITY papels-this quo

The Spanish ProcesSioa-The committee
entrusted with the care of organizing the pro-

to make; believe it their duty TO inform the
public that the intended procession is for the

disturbance, in a country which has shown
itself so hospitable to them; and if public
order is at any time interrupted here, it will
certainly not be by them. They simply mean
to pay a due homage to the administration of
President Fillmore. who, by his wise and en-
getic measures, has known how to prevent
great social and political difficulties, and they
believe that by so doing, they will meet with
the appreciation of every honest citizen. By

On looking over the textiles or exhibition

ness to which the thread of cotton can be
drawn out. Trusting that your spinning fac

an approximation to perfection, | annex an ac-
count of the finest yarn offered for inspection,
spun by Thomas Holdsworth, Manchester.
The finest yarns usually spun for practical
purposes, at his mills, is $50, used for fine lace
manufactures but, being anxious to show
what he could do at an effort, he spun a guam
tty as high as 700 single, and $40 double
thread, valued at ELS sterling per pound, about
$40 our money. The general reader may
