Ladies' Dresses.

We don't like Fanny Ferns writings
generally, but sometimes she makes a
decidedly palpable hit. Here is one of
them, which we take from the New York
Ledger:
at is my opinion after all that is said,
that women dress much more with an
eye to their own sex, than to the other.
What man, unless he be a dry goods
merchant, knows whether a woman wears
Honiton or cotton lace? What man else
knows the value of the dainty handker-
chief with which ladies so ostentatiously
polish their pretty noses? What man
else, knows or cares to know, the value
of the cancels hair shawl, spread so care
fully owe their shoulders? By the rood!
not one. But the delighted peacock
possessor r~ejoices that every feminine
eye which rests upon it computes it's val
NC to a fraction. Yes-women dress
much more for each others eyes than
mems. | saw a man, whose opin-
ion was worth asking, who did not pre-
fer to see a pretty woman (and [ i'm
aginc the most demure of EN- don't look
long at any other?) unostentatiously and
modestly dressed; and l never saw a
pretty woman who did not look p%rettier
in her p~lainest home-drcss than in her
most elaborate adornments. But alas!
for plain MISUNDERSTANDING are they?
Where is the pretty de-lainc, and neat
calico, lone too good for little climbing
feet (now fashion b~anishcd(? Echo an

LIVERPOOL, wednesday, Jan. Z.

LIVERPOOL, Wednesday, Jan. Z.
The news from Paris received to-day,
almost wholly confined to further de-
tails of the assassination OF the Archbish-
OF. The accounts differ but little from
those previously published. The Gazette
dcs T3|iJunic states that the assassin al
lowed himself to be arrested without re-
sistance, and voluntarily rave up his
bloody knife. 1t also states that he had
once been intcrdictcd for preaching a
III against the dogma of the Ina
maculatc Conception.
In the excitement caused in Paris, by
this dreadful event, there is little said
or thought about the affair Of diploma
cy.
We have no news as to the Confer
ence, beyond the statement that no ad-
ditional meeting had been held. and the
Pays attributes the delay entirely to the
time required for drawing up a protocal
of the first meeting, and refers to what
passed during the last Conference as
proof of a probability of this confrina-
ton.
Wurtemburg remains finn in refusing
passage to the Prussian invaders, and
while she remains firm, an invasion Of
the Swiss dominions will be difficult and
dangerous, if not impossible.
According to a Russian dispatch of
the 2Sth of December, the position of
that State appears to be this: That she
will not mobilize her troops until the
18th of january, and up to hat day she
will be content with simple release OF
the prisoners, and, for the rest, is ready
to enter into negotiations to give up her
sovereign rights over Ncufchatel, should
a decree of mobilization become ncces-
sary. Prussia will then insist upon the
restoration, pure and simple, Of the
Kings sovereignty in Neutch9tel, and
Switzerland, although a hint is thrown
out ~unfavorable to protection which
Switzerland accords to the political re-

The steamship James Adyer arrived
this evening, with dates from San Juan
to the 18th. She was compelled to put
into Key West, and was detained there
thirty-two hours.
The purser reports that the cholera
had disappeared in the Isthmus.
But little sickness and no deaths on
the Adgcr during her passage.
Tie ~sloop-of-war Cyane was still at
AspinwEil.
Walker is reported to be in a better
condition, havinE twelve hundred able
bodied men with kin at Rivas, and was
we'll supplied with ANN nitions and pro
visions.
Colonel Lockridgc, with three hun-
dred men, was still awaiting at Punta
Arenas for the completion of the steam
err, which would probably be ready about
the 18th.
The Adger encountered great fields
of ice in her homeward passage, between
latitude 81 and 80.
The passengers by the Adger gives
gloomy accounts of Walkers situation.
The seizure of the transit route and
steamboats, by Spencer, is confirmed
Spencer states openly that he acted in
behalf of Vanderbilt. No injury was
offered to the passengers Of the captured
boats, but they were escorted to Grey
town, where the steamer was boarded by
officers from a British man-of-war, who
ordered the baggage of the men to be
put off Immediately. Spencer kept the
American flag flying from his steamer,
although he made the capture In the
name of Costa Rica.
President Mora, of the Costa Rican
Government, had issued a proclamation
granting pardon to Walkers men, and
free passes back to the States. Many of
Walkers men; both officers and privates,
were dcscrting. They all tell hard sto-
ries of their sutfarings from hunger and
sickness.
Walker was still at Rivas with six
hundred men. Another account says
twelve hundred.
Spencer states that the Costa Ricans
have fifteen hundred troops posted along
the route. They are also in strong force
at Scraqui, aud have guns planted on
both shores.
The report that Gen. Henningsen had
fought his way from Granada and joined
Walker has been confirmed; as also the
report that Gen. Clliltcn, with a large
body of men, had pronounced for Wal
kcr at Leon.
Walker, it is said, rc;ook Rivas with
out losing a man.
Captain Saunders, with his Rifles:
had advanced to Leon TO occupy that
post.
The foreign dispatch is made up from
the statement of several returned Near
aguans, who give very conflicting sto-
ricS.
