WAsnNcToN rEas-We take the
following items Of news from the
Washington Evening Star of the Dist :
Mr.. Soule, it is said, procured a
coust dress, at the instance Of Mr.
Calderon, the Spanish Minister, who
was apprehensive if he appeared in
the Spanish Court in plain dress the
N .nistery (not advised Of Secretary
Marcy's circular), might construe it
into a vaunting Of thcextremc radical
and dlibustering views with which he
was universally credited by the Euro
pcan press, j. j Seibels, Charge to
Belgium, his been received in plain
clothes. Ilx-President Van Buren,
recently sent word to the King of
Belgium that he desired to pay his
respects to him, if he could be permit
ted to do so in plain citizens dress.
His Majesty at once consented, and
came to his palace flom the country,
{wherc he had been trusticating), to
meet Mr.. V. b., who spent some
hoursin his society.

Mas. BLooMER.-I'his boted cham
pion Of woman's rights, and inventor
of the equivocal costume which bears
her name. was lately occurring in
Cleveland, 0 hio. The Plaindealcr
relates an incident, at one Of her lect-
ures, which indicates that she has not
yet fully indicated woman's lights,
even in her own case. She had given
out that she would deliver another
lecture in the evening. Thereupon
Mr.. Bloomcr stepped up to the stage
and whispered in her ear. She i'm
mediately said to the audience
"Myhusband thinks it better for me
not to lecture tomorrow evening.
The great champion of woman's rights
bowed submission to the will Of her
husband.

TIE WEATHER. Not designed for
republication) 1.-The gun shines the
nil is cool and bracing---the epidemic
has gone, and the sharpers have re-
turned to town, and bask in the sun
chine at the corners--business has
opened with as much vigor "a though
it had never been closed the ladies'
are out displaying what dry goods
they have, and looking for more--but
not Of the same sort. The old PASTE
boards have been swept out of the back
rooms, and the demand for edmond
backs" has commenced. The aharpers
in Lafayette street think that they will
be able to teach the next Legislature a
new chapter in the history of the -four
kings"
WHERE ARE THY MALE MEN 2-It is
said that Miss "Grace Greenwood had
her new husband Master Lippencott
in training to make husband ofhim,
three years. She procured n Clerk
ship a: Washington for him, and kept
him under her special supervision. -
How much longer we ask is the mali
enable rights Of male men to be tram
pied upon ? We have heard of train-
ing girls for wives, but never before OF
women training counter hopping boys
for husbands. This is what comes of
newspaper putting. A sentimental
Miss Of sixteen summers, writes 4 moon
sidney book about love under difficult
ties in n cottage. Some editor puils
the aforesaid Miss, aud she imagincs
herself masculine intellige rEe" and
goes 1T once to work to write non.
sense. Like our friend Mr.. Phoenix
I'VE have a perfect horror of these
newspaper women. We never pick
up newspaper containing hippant
article, with u certain air Of pseudo
smartncss about it, but what We feel
sure of finding Grace Greenwood, or
Fanny Forester or Susan Slabsides,
or Fanny Fern at the bottom Of it
These women who select pretty names
are painfully sensible that they have
nothing else pretty about them, they
seek notoriety by writing trash in the
newspapers, because they have TIC
charms to obtain it in a Legitimate
manner, and the sight of their un.
pleasant signatures acts upon us, as
Susan Nipper says, like the taste o
early gooseberrie'."

BELLlGEnENr LADIES The wo-
mans ri CHS mania is playing the
very deuce with some of the sofier
sex. At Rochester, New York, last
week, two married ladies, both highly
respectable, had falling out. The
aggrleyed one sought revenge on the
street, cowhide in hand. The assault
is represented as having been very
aggravaiing. The assailant tore the
Iady's bonnet from her read, pulled
her hair, threw her upon the ground
and inflicted many severe blows with
the whip. The lady assailed is in Il
state of health such as to cause seri-
Gus fears on the part Of her friends
that she will not soon recover from The
effects of the assault and the excite
ment incident thereto. She was taken
up exhausted and overcome.

Mr.. Glddings, Free Dem.) of Ohio-The

The StaffOrd.I House Controversy.

The address from Staflord-hous to the
ladies' of America has met with just the re-
sponse that we anticipated for il. The high
born danes of Virginia, who, with their
mothers before them, hive held snvcs now
for more than two hundred years, have risen
ms one woman TO resent this interference
with their immemorinl privilege. Through
the columns of the Richmond Enquirer they
hnve appealed to Mrs. Julia Gardiner Tyler,
or Mrs. eX President rs Ter, as she would be
described in an American court circular, a
lady whose parentage aud accomplishments,
whose birth aud education nt New York,
whose marriage with the ex- x-Presldent, and
whose residence for the last eight years OH
Virginia plantation us mistress of its colony
of slaves, render her no mean champion of
" the social institution" Prompt at duty's
call, the ilmstrious citizen has taken up her
pen, and not laid it down till she has done
summary justice on the duchess and her
friends.
Our New York correspondent critcises
its style, which is certainly the purest Amer
lean; but perhaps he scarcely estimates as
he should the wrath of rival goddesses con-
tending for their people mud their cities in
the eyes Of the world. Mrs. Julia G. Tyler,
Notwithstanding her eight years practice at
the head of plantation, is still, we have no
doubt, what the New York Herald describes
her, young, beautiful, intellectual, attractive
and accomplished; but she is certainly shEll
and long-winded. She extends the Monroe
doctrine of non.interyention from the soil to
the institutions of North America, and re-
taliates ON tho duchess by industriously
siringing together nll The unpleasant nllu-
