The Latest Fashion For Ladies.

Much has already appeared regarding the reyo. luton ofcertan ladies at the North, and especially n the State of New York, are attempting to make in their style of dressing. Among the most forward of the reiorrners--the one most determined and in- defatigable ia giving her sex more of an outward lnascrlne appearance is Mrs. Bloomer, who edits a journal rejoicing under the very pretty name os the {" Lily.' She spluTgeS right manful ly in irowsers, and don't appear to care pin fl all the world sees her. In recent article she thus describes her apparel
 Our costume IS as yet by no means perfected; !; these IS a lack of harmony ia the dress we now wear, which IS different from ,,he reigning fashion except that our skirts have been robbed oi about foot of their former length, and pair of loose trowsers, of the same material as the dress, sub siituted. These latter extend from the waist to the ankle. and may be gathered into band and buttoned round the ankle, or what we think pret- tier, gathered or plated up, about two inches in Jepth and left sufficiently wide for the foot to pass through and allow of their falling over the top of the gaiter. They may be trimmed to suit the taste of the wearer. Instead of the whalebone bodice, the dress should be made with sack front, en- tire from the shoulder to the knee, and tight back, with the skirt gathered m as usual; or cut the whole in the style-httng the form to the waist and then let it swell ont, giving sufficient full- ness to the skirt. Shawls must be abandoned, and a sack or mantlla take their place; nice fitting boot of gaiter and round hat would make the whole nntque. Our dress is thus far mere experiment., and not what we think it should be- IL takes time to revolutionize One's wardrobe, as well one's opinions.
 In another paper we see that a certain Mrs Bar le,gh. with her daughters recently attended the Abolition Convention al Syracuse-rigged out in Mrs. Boomers costume-loose trowsers, fTock coats and straw hats No mention is made. as to whether the boys get after Ms. Burleigh and daughters. but they might have done 50.
 P. S. Since the above took our eye, we have seen in a New York paper two ladies, dressed in Turkish pantaloons, have attracted considerable notice in Broadway, where they parade and figure several hours each day They are said to be intel. lectual looking women, young enough to be quite attractive. while their skirts hang no lower than their knees We shall chronicle he hrst appear ance of any such eccentreites out our way.

Extraorainary scese.

Some of the good citizens oi Golcester, peram- b1iating the docks on Good Friday morning, were alarmed by terrible noise on board Cheek ship lying in he middle of the basin. The captain and others appeared to have one of the crew amongst them, around whose neeks rope was attached; and, before any interference could be offered, the body wasT up to the yard-afm, and, after few apparent struggles, so far as the victim was con cerned, all was still. The noise had hardly sub sided when similar scene appeared ts be going forward on board another Greek vessel Eying along side the first mentioned; the body, in this case. betng lowered over the slsie into the water, and thea, as | the mprdesous wFetches had change their intentions il was hauled on deck, severely be- laboused amidst shcats and execrasions, and spec dlly hauIed up to the yard arm.
 The excitement on seeing two bodies dangling hgh m the most intense; some of the crowd assembled werc calling for the police; and two 0r three more courageous than the rest, got om board one of the ships to demand an explanation, and with the determination to take the cnlpris into custody. The explanation was duly given, and hearty sad general laugh was the resut. The seamen were only performing a cusiom of the Greek Church, usual on Good Ffsday, by stntIing an efigy with straw, with bag in its nxht hand. to represent adas Iscaroi and hanging 1t. expressive Of their shhorreiee of the conduct of that worthy m betrsying our Saviour.
