o FASHIONS, sc The fashionable season in New
York has commenced unusually early this year.
Receptions are full, and large balls have called
forth magnifcence of toilette never before equal

silver brocades coating a thousand dollars and
more, a dress, or rich silks trimmed with lace
hounces, from one to three thousand dollas in va
lue. One lady Of high ton r. Gently appeared in a
costume partly embroidered with pearls, another
wore dress whose lace founces were wrought
with seed pearls, at the same f6ke. Another wore
q set Of diamonds which cost thirty thousand dol.
lars, at grand party, and even the young bellies
are costumed a la Pompadour, instead of wearing
gauze or muslin, thereby making themselves old
and matronly in dress at least, and yielding to
fashion the simplicity of attire becoming to
youth, and which has eretofore marked the New
York girl out from others in strange cities as being
the best dressed of all, from her very absence Of
ornament.
Being in q French modiste's the other morning,
we were amazed at her prices. by the way for
these airy ball dresses which in reality cost very
little, and are always becoming to the young. A
youthful face was gazing at a skirt of pink tule,
displayed by Madame, which looped up here and
there with ribbons to suit, was quite tasteful af.
fair, costing five or ten dollars perhaps. "What
is the price OF this dress. Madame?" ooh,
Mam'selle, all complete, only sixty dollars, and
very cheap at that. With flowers it would be
eighty dollars; oh, uera cheep, Mum'selle-all the
best material, you see."
So money goes, and so money is made. Wealth
has lately been accumulated 30 fast that expense

days, will soon be cut out by tho merchant princes

SALE OF LUrs IN New YoRK.-A large sale OF
city lots took place on the 22d and 23d instant in
the city Of New York. The lots are nearly all OF
the dime nsions of Is by 100 feet and are mostly
situated between Sixteth and Seventy fifth streets

The National Democrat noticing the demand for
real estate on this occasion says:

VERDICT AN ADVERTISING CAsE.-In a suit

hundred dollars for advertising, the jury rendered
verdict for plaintiff Of three hundred and eigh-

advertisement was taken to the Courier office,
there was some Misunderstanding respecting the
number of insertions. II was, however, put in,
loaded and displayed, aud remained 90 Tor one

lbbotson's orders in respect to the advertisement
were not carried out. However, he took the Cou

the court, saw the advertisement in question, and
should have notified the editor to alter or discon

New York to WashinUtOn

The frequent failures of the mail trains from
New York to Washington during the last few
weeks. and the delays to which persons un.
fortunate enough TO travel the route are con-
tinUally exposed, have once more attracted
public attention to a subject which has long
toned to the rapidity, certainty, and good
management Of Northern and even of Western
railroads, are astonished at the patience with
which the rate and style Of transit between the
two capitals Of the nation are regarded by the
communities most Immediately concerned

That organized monopolies should avail them
selves of their opportunities to exact high
fares is not wonderful. albeit unwise; but that
along with high prices they should infict slow,
uncomfortable, and most uncertain movements,
is On evil SO gross and irritating that casual
visitors are at a loss to comprehend the Iesig-
nation with which it is endured. They are
familiar with the idea of being thankful for
small mercies;" but that we should bear an
noyances which might be obvlated, and deal
graciously with the companies which perpe-
trate them, is a marvel in the way of doctrine
which mortal wisdom cannot fathom.
Public censure is much more frequently in
voked on the head of the Postmaster General
for the delay of mail trains than on the heads
the companies, who alone are responsible. lie
is supposed TO possess control where really he
has none; and is denounced accordingly for
a legged Indifference to public interests. The
parties who assail him forget that he has him
self pointed uut the wrong perPetrated by the
companies managing the route, and that, avow
ing his own inability to correct it, he has So
icted the interference Of Congress. and sug
gested its adoption of plan which would
render US independent forever Of those who have
% fagranty disregarded the duties Of their
position. A reference to the report of Mr..
Postmaster General HUBBARD. now on the
tables Of Congress, will show that he has dis
tinctly fixed upon that body the responsibility
of providing remedy equal to the emergency.
The construction of railroad post route
over SO much of the distance as may be neces-
sary to raise the facilities of travel to the point
of practicable perfection, is believed by compe-
tent authorities to be within, the scope OF the
constitutional power with which Congress is
invested. 1t is too much to hope, perhaps,
that measure for carrying such scheme into
effect can become law before March next; but
it is proper and reasonable to expect that a
subject in which the public interest not less
than public convenience is involved, will re-
ceive at least some notice. if only as prelimi-
nary to future action. The probabilities if not
the necessities of the political world seem to
insure to the monopolists undsputed sway for
another year. Even now, however, there is
ample time to pass judgment upon their short
comings; and let us therefore cherish the eX-
pectalion that two months will not pass with
out vigorous effort to check an annoyance from
which all of US suffer with more or less fire.

the aggregate, to about $500. But two out of the

DIPLOMATIC SALARIEs.-Certain facts, interest
ing to aspiring diplomatists, have been brought 10
light in letters from our ministers and charges
ster. The Hon. Abbott Lawrence thinks that tho
salary Of the Minister to England should DO $780,
600. His own expenses exceeded that amount.
Mr.. Rives thinks that minister at Paris, "with a
decent regard to bis position," ought to spend at
least $4,000. Mr.. Neil Brown, living as a bach.
elor at st. Petersburg. spends $4,000, and thinks
the salary should be increased to s 900. He
also says the secretary of legation has not sufi.
sient salary.
Mr.. Folsom, residing at the Hague, estimates
his yearly expenses at $l3,479 Sc. Mr.. Barringer
reckons his annual expenses at Madrid At S8,5ls,
after an original outlay of $4,000. Mr.. Schwartz,
United States Consul, estimates the necessary ex.
penses Of a charge at Vienna At 81, $50. Mr..
Barnard, at Berlin, found himself on the 9th of
December, 1852, $4,000 beyond his salary Mr..
Schroeder. at Stockholm, "considers the resources
provided for the charge daffaires at this place to
be sufficient" Mr.. Bayard puts down his annual
expenses at Brussels S9,SS4. Mr.. Schenck, at
Rio, whose children are in the United States,
thinks he may save $4,000 a year. Mr.. Marsh
thinks the Minister at Constant nople ought to
have his salary increased.
As the circular of Mr.. Webster was sent in com
pliance with resolution passed by the United
States Senate, II is highly probable that the sub
ject Of general increase Of salaries will be con-
