autumn aud winter dresses, have just been

using the latter successfully is Il trimming
for a shawl. II winter mantle, Il ball or visit

IN effort Is being made TO simplify the
trimmings on the skirts, - that many are
only trimmed quite at the bottom with a
white ruchc la viclle, whilst others have
five or six very narrow founces This style
will lead u plain skirts, which will, howcv-
er, be exceedingly full. and trimmed up the
front with paSsementerie or large buttons
trimmed with lace, which are very pretty
trimming. The newest autumn materials
are made with narrow or wide stripes of one

three wide stripes at the bottom, crossed

Foreign Importations.

II is announced that the foreign importa-
tiun> ut the port OF New York, for the last two
months, are not greatly in excess over those
Tor the corresponding months of the proceed
lnS year. " a consequence, the revenue,
derived from this source, after having re-
cclycd during the spring and summer spas
modlc impulse, have again fallen 10 rate
but little above that which was found made
quatc Tor the accruing eXigcncics Of the last
fiscal year.
From the statistical tables published in the
November number of the Merchants Maya
zine, We learn that the export of specie from
the port of New York during the nine
months extending from the lst of January
10 the lst Of September i'll the current year,
amounts 10 the Unprecedented sum OF S62.-
100000, which has been increased by nearly
two millions additional specie exports with
in the last five weeks To meet this demand
being almost double that of the last year for
the same period the Banks III the interior of
the country, and especially i'll the West. have
been mainly put under contribution. As
the specie reserves Of the New York Banks
have been reduced by this drain only 10 the
amount of S6,OoO,0O0, and as the California
supply Of gold has furnished but little more
that 81 100000 10 the account OF this eX-
portation, it follows that the remaining $40,
