THE SHIDTIsHE CosTUME.--A writer in
the, Dallas (Ala.) Gazette, proposes the
''Shirtishe Costume for gentlemen, as
a set off the "Blooomer." He says the
peculiar advantages of the "Shut5she'
are its cheapness and comfort. 1t is a
gown or shirt, made of Irish linen, and
reaches to the knees. 1t is made in all
respects like the ordinary shirt for gen
tleman, with the exception that the col
lar is to be broad, and thrown back with
a Byronic air. 1t is the only article of
dress to be worn! Asst consults comfort.

Tea an South CGroIi720 The Charles
ton Courier notices the arrival in that city
of Francis Bonynge, a gentleman who
has spent fourteen years in the East, ac-
lively engaged in the cultivation aud
manufacture of indigo, sugar. saltpetre,
tea and coffee. and whose present object
is to introduce into the Southern States
the culture of the tea plant, the mangoe
tree, coffee plants, etc, and the melons
and vegetables CT the East Indies, and
TO carry out the manufacture of the tea
leaf, and also of the indigo plant, and to
give full and fair trial to both tea and
indigo.
Mr.. Bonynge says that the soil and cli-
mate of the Southern States are more
suited to the cultivation of tea than those
even in China, and that indigo, which
was by the by, formerly produced in the
Southern States, can be grown to any
extent, and that the coffee plant, in all
probability, would flourish there to great
advantage, in as much as the soil and un-
dulating nature of the land would be in
its favor, and the cold of the latitude Of
Charleston is not SO tense by thirteen as
that of the east of China la fact, MIR.
Bonynge has seen this plant growing
wild in north latitude 27 80; on hills Of
from three to five hundred feet in height
where, too, there was an abundance OF
frost, snow, and hail.

MANNERS AND Morals IN New YORK.
The New York correspondent of the Sa-
gannah News, III his letter of the 18th
nlt. says:
Forrest has been disgracing himself
again. A few nights since, Mr.. VOORHEES,
and his wife, (Mrs. Forests sster) and
Mrs. L. were i'll a private-box at the
broadway Theatre, when Forrest opened
the door and stood in the midst of them,
much to their surprise as you may readi-
iy imagine. Mr.. V. asked how he dared
10 intrude there, but he claimed to have
as much right there as they, and a quar-
eel ensned soto qoce Forrest, however,
was ultimately either expelled or left of
his own accord. On Saturday afternoon
M. OSConner and he went in the cars on
the Hudson river railroad, when he again
exhibited his brutality, but was speedily
checked.
Quite a moral movement has been
made by our police justices, by arresting
the parties vino left their houses for i'm
moral purposes. The wretcIIed inmates
are picked up in the street and consigned
to the Penitentiary, and why should these
persons be exempt from the same fate?
If the magistrates pursue this practice,
some people who carry their heads mighty
high, vii. be pulled up. There are pIen-
ty of the so called snobs", who live il.
style upon the extortionate rents they ex-
act from their fashionable courtezaus.-
This is melancholy truth; but it is a
truth, / assure you.
The way that divorces are obtained
here is most disglaceful; "a case has just
been exposed. a scoundrel got his wife
arrested Oh the charge of habitual drunk
enness, and she was sent to the Peniten-
tiary for six months. In the mean time
he issues for divorce; two lawyers col
dude, and one visits her with pretence of
defending the suit A man is obtained
80 swear to acts of adultry, aud the d.
vorce is granted. The poor woman is
discharged--proceeds to her home and
finds herself an outcast. She enlisted
friends, however, and has got the decree
set aside, and | think that the lawyers
will be properly punished.
