The prices vary from SIS to SIS. The
mantua makers still adhere to the basque
waists and multitudinous founces--
Sleeves are of all shapes and r pulled
or " slashed " with material of a color
different from the dress Skirts are
made sufficiently long to sweep the
side-walks-thus performing, at a heavy
cost to husbands and fathers, the dut
which the street contractors neglect
The provocative chemisette remains in
vogue.

LII Jul OOuTt VI OOulllOH teas d N0T-
dict for S. 5000 has recently been obtain
ed by Messrs. Hole and MURDocK, a
Mississippi firm against a mercantile
agency in this city, for injuring the char
acter of the house by libelous represen-
t%ations. It will be recolected hat a
verdict for $4,000 was rendered some
years ago in favor of a western concern
for a similar libel, perpetrated by one
of the spies of b%elieve) the same agen-

visited by the hand of death during the

1t is generally believed that the stock
holders of the N. Y. and N. H. Railroad
Company will r~epudiate the spurious
stick issued by RoBEnT SHUYLER, and
that this will have a disastrous effect
upon American securities generally, both
in England and this country. 1t is said
that nearly all, if not all of the spurious
stock can be identified. At the meet
ing of the stockholders on the 2Ist inst,
in this city, it was shown that the eight
directors owned only 1875 shares real
stock, out of 10000; and hat more
spurious han real stock was holden by
them. That one director owned but
one share, and that two or three owned
no genuine stock. The directors were
requested to resign. At the meeting in
New Haven on the 30th of October, it
is thought the whole matter will be de-
ciced.
A meeting of the Anti Know-Noth-
