Thursday was the milliners opening day
in New York. Herceforth (says the Tines
new styles of bOnnets, mantillas, and cloaks
will be seen on Broadway. The bonnet that
was love of thing yesterday will be old
fashioned tomorrow, and the head-dress that
provoked all admiration on Monday, to-mor-
row night would make every pretty little
fashionable turn up her nose. The mysteries
of these things are too much for us.

SUICIDE.-A young woman by the name of
Adelaide Greed, a resident of the house No
40 Duane street, kept by Miss Stevens, this
morning committed suicide by taking lauda-
mum. 1t appears that she on Monday even

at the time walking with a female refused to
acknowledge her acquaintance. upon which
she determined on the rash act, which she
this day fulfilled. The circumstances of the
case will be investigated Y. Express.

INCUBATION FOR YELLOW FEvER.-The

INCUBATION FOR YELLOW FEVER The
New Orleans Delta of the 14th instant says:
"We had the pleasure of meeting yesterday
distinguished physician, DIR. Scott, who b las
won splendid reputation during long resi-
dence in the West India Islands, and whose
visit to New Orleans is the result, we believe,
of an invitation from several members Of the
profession resident among US. DIR. SCOTS ex-
perience has been very great, and his erudi-
tion is equal to his experience. We believe
he is inclined to regard with favorable eye
the new system of incubation for yellow fever,
which has been extensively and successfully
practised this year. In moro than three thous-
and cases, we understand, Its beneficial effects
have been tested, and assuredly, with such a
fact before our eyes, We should not treat the
theory with contempt, merely because it is a
novelty"

front of the whole breed of doughfaces, of
which it is TO be hoped this generation will
see the last; but perhaps not. 1t is hard to
eradicate an entire breed, especially when it

ing. The signs of the times, however, de-
note that most Of them will be brought to
the stake for their crimes. Let us, at least,
hope so. If we only could get rid of the
troublesome rascals, and bring the North and
South face to face on the slavery question,
we should have peace and harmony The
question would then be settled once for all.

LORD RAGLAN.-A New Yorker who has

speaks of Lord Raglan, the British com

gentleman, rather tall. In many respects
his personal appearance reminded me of our
General Winfield Scott, though he is not, BY
any means, of such giant structure as the
hero OF Lundy's Lane. Our reception was
cordial, and his Lordship must be called
polite as well as courageous

ANOTHER VETo.-On Saturday last, the
President sent to congress his veto upon the
French spoliation bill. By reference to the
proceedings in the house, on that day, it will
be seen that it produced much excitement.
Our readers will remember that both houses
have large majorities in favor of the admin
istration, and that this bill had heavy ma
jority in each of them. The subject has
been before Congress and the country
for long time. All the committees to
which it has been referred, have uniformly re-
ported in favor Of the claimants. In Polk's
administration, it passed both houses OF
congress, but he vetoed the bill principally
upon the ground that the country was then
engaged in a war with Mexico, and the ma
tion required all its means to carry it on.
This reason does not now exist. We
have but small public debt, ana we nave
many millions of surplus revenue in our
treasury. Thus situated. it is not surprising
that congress should manifest much excite
ment at this act of the President. An effort
will be made to pass the bill by two-thirds
vote, and thus head the executive, but we
think it will fail.-IO. S. Jour. 1T did fail.

THE EXPECTED GREAT CoMEr.-The emi-
nent astronomer, M. Babinet, member of the
French academy of sciences, gives some
very interesting details relative to the return
of that great comet whose periodical course
is computed by the most celebrated observ
er al three hundred years. The result Of his
investigations is that it will appear in Au
Igust, 1858, with an uncertainty of two
years. more or less so that between 1856
and 1860 those who are then living may hope
to see the great luminary which in 1865
caused Charles V to abdicate.
