One happy circumstance has followed the
adseatofs biooa,erism In tho Northern cities.
II has attracted the attention of the sbclisp
ton ladies' to mat tiers Of personal and aomes.
&c interest, lt has given them q suhjcct,to
tnlk aud talk about, which Is on D level With
their capacity and. the fashion yet being 4
great novelty Il has afforded them that no-
soriety which they have SO long sought Tor
attain tArough to tedious process Of philan-,
thropy. ~@ "
We have watched With some interest the
progress Of this uew costurae In the Northern
CITIES. IL seems to take best ia Lowell
(Massacbnsctts.) IN Boston, and in some az
the cities Of New York. II appears to pre.
vail mostlyin those regions which have shown
themselves peculiarly ioud Of new discover
les In morals and religion. In tho city Of
New York it does not thrive Hut on tho
other baud, it is stated that orc ofNietcria's
little daughters has appeared M sBioomery nc
the Worlds Far. and That the cla Duke Of
Wellington was 50 much enrapturcd with ii
that It was deemed prudent 10 remove tho
young Princess at once from the palace ~
The Boston Transcript gives the following
amusing account Of the appearance oF an en-
tire Bloome, family in the skeeis Of Boston

The New York Express has taken up tho
cuagcis WIN great spirit against the now eos
tune. 1t dcyotes about half column 70
the subject. and talks like nphilosopher. IL
looks forward to Che result OF consentiav ID
such an innovation Of femalc attire, aud asks.
il we tolerate it. viii not Pregress soon call
upon Us to do something else equally silly
and absurd? We should think Il Ekely.---
What vii be the next step il is hard to pre-
diet, 1t may be. as the Express fears, that
