THE BLooMER Fashions FOR 1852
For the benefit Of our lady readers who
may be partial to the Bloomer style OF
dress, we publish the following from the
last number Of the Lily-Mrs. Boomers
paper. II is certainly very important
Information. and as such we commend it
to the careful consideration OF the fash.
ioL able world. . :.
We have several letters of inquiry
about thessiyle Of making the short dress,
and also, what STYLE Of hai 10 ,o1he worn
/. is : it'll. perplexing to $50 answer
such questions, for we know sverv little
abqli fashions, and we do nopwish to sci
ourself up as a pattern for others. We
are not aware that there is any particular
style for making the new dress, or any
new fashion for it. At least we have
none, but make ours just to suit our own
fancy and comfort, aud hope others will
do the same. We believe our dress does
not differ materially from those worn by
others, except in the length Of The skirt
and bodice and in giving ourself room
TO breathe freely, and depending on our
own muscles instead Of wha lebones for
support. And this we consider all impor.
tant whether the skirt be long or short.
Another important conside ration which
we urge upon our lady readers, is the
supporting of under skirts by elastic sus-
penders-(,he same as worn by ren, and
worn in the same manner )-instesd OF
letting them rest upon the hips. They
are perfectly easy, and far preferable to
straps We are happy to know that
they are now worn to q considerable
extent, and they will be generally adop.
ted when their advantage becomes known.
The prettiest style Of cloak for short
dress, is full circle or Spanish cloak.
The saque looks well, and is ve-y con.
venient, as it leaves the arms free.
Both bonnets and hats are worn. II q
hat, the beaver 10 preferable. though they
may be made of silk or velvet. Those
wishing beaver hats can oolain them by
sending an order to ]. N. Genin, halter,
New York, giving the measure of the
head and description Of the hat wanted.
We are not sure but they may be OBJ.
tanned Of any halter. The trousers are
mads mostly straight and plain, or spring
bottoms" though some still prefer them
full, and confined at the ANGLE.
The large number of ladies who atten
ded the meeting here on the l4th ult.
dressed in short skirts and trowsers
proved the falsity Of the statements made
by some Of the papers, that this style o.
dress had become extinct. The number
present on the occasion was by, different
persons estimated as high As fifty. and
these came from different sections of the
State. Lucy Stone, whom oil 20 much
admired, we are happy to see, still ad
heres TO this style of dress.

Mr. Editor lit may not be altogether
unintsresiing TO the readers of the Beacon
TO hear how we get on here in the great
metropolis, now the excitement OF politics
has past. Well, everything has settled
down quietly, and all seem to admit that
the Republic is safe, and there is less
heartburnings from disappointment than
perhaps was ever before witnessed at the
result Of any Presidential contest. All
parties take it good humouredly and
pleasantly. Politicians speculate occa-
sionslly as TO the cousre Of future events :;
for instance, il is announced that Mr..
Buchanan of Pennsylvania is to be Secre-
tssy ofState under the new administra.
ton, and Hon. r. NJ. T. Hunter of Vir.

ted By Northern fanaiicissa.
A deep sense of this base attack upon
our Domestic Institutions, and of the
aggravated injury inflicted upon the
rights of Southern citizens, pervades
our community and, in common with
the whole South, we glow, and Justly
glow, with indignation thereat. The

terms, as ga higher law triumph" and
"Ms legal sancsiOHing Of Mghpay rob.
bery."
10 view Of want Of time TO notice the
subject more at length, we publish the
following. from the " Md. State Capital
Gazette" as expressing in q short
and pointed manner, our own sentiments
and feelings:
"This honest and enlightened Judge
decided the case, not according to the
laws and the constitution of the United
States, but in accordance with the letter
and spirit Of the mus,y and obsolete ab.
surdilies Of the past. He consulted not
our own statutes, of our own day-no, the
meaning and intent Of the grssN charter
which binds together our broatl cbnfeder.

sectional controversy, so recently and so
happily adjusted, but what Puffendorf
and other authors who lived and died
hundreds Of years ago under European
despots, had to say about what is and
what is not property, and what can and
what cannot be held as such by the rights
Of nature.
We do not require the counsel or
opinion Of any lawyer in coming to the
conclusion-which every man of common
intelligence must see for himself-tha,
the dicision Of Judge Payne is in direct
conflict with the spirit If not the letter Of
the Constitution ofthe United States.
This abolition outrage-for we can
look upon it in no other light-may, and
probably will, raise another indignation

cast censure upon the citizens Of that sec.
ton OF the Union, ifsuch should be its eff.

any the less robbery-pillage-piracy-

authority, and in accordance with the
decision OF q narrow minded and fanat.

ton given TO K ussu'h aud suite by the cit
izens and authorities of the Forest City,
was most grand and magnificent, and was
highly creditabl to both. The warmth Of
the welcome, ard its almost perfect unanim-

the base 81 ,nders Of the Austrian press Of
that city, to injure the illustrious Magyar
in the minds Of the people. The city was
filled with people who had come up to wit,

to 10000 people were present to listen to

A FIRE broke out in the old State House
in Columbus, about 81 o'clock on Sunday
morning. the 1st inst, which had progress.
ed SO far when discovered as to render all
efforts to save the building entirely unavail.
irg. The official records, and most Of the
valuable books and papers, and a part Of
the furniture of the Senate were saved. The
furniture: carpets, books, records, and pa
pers Of the House were all saved. he
greatest loss is in the delay and inconven-
ience which it occasions to legislation. The
Legislature was delayed but few days.
The SeLate now meets in the Old Court
House. and the House in Odeon Hall, which
we understand have been furnished by the
citizens Of Columbus free Of charge to the
