LADIES AUTUMN FAsHIoNNs.-A late New
York paper says of bonnets, that the style is
still large and the shapes not to our taste;
but the entire effect is wonderfully artistic
and very distiRgue. The crowns are narrow,
the fronts are broad and depressed over the
forehead, the sides less haring than formerly,
and also less retresting. The materials used
are royal velvet and Lyons velvet, almost
exclusively. The entire family of fancy
velvets has suddenly vanished, and no one
will probably desire to recall them. The
trimmings are very rscherehe-the richest
feathers, cegues, de plume, birds of paradise,
with long silken tails, .friSe and real ostrich
and marabout feathers. Flowers the most
artistic, from the celebrated Dutcis, and real
blonde and thread lace, in fine and delicate
patterns.
Shawls now dispute the ascendancy with
cloaks and mantillas, but neither possesses
the grace nor elegance of the long coat,
which, without any claim to novelty, still
finds sufficient number of admirers TO re-
tain lis place in the world Of fashion. All
the new coats and cloaks are large and
ample, sweeping the entire skirt within a
few inches of the ground, and presenting a
highly y-imposing and distinguished appear
ance.

The DOUGLAS speech Tonight.

Mr.. Douglas will appear at the Court
street Market this evening" and advocate his
great principle of popular sovereignty, sub
ject to the Supreme Court which has already
declared against it. We can not see the i'm
propriety which the Breckenridge and Re-
publican journals affect to see in a candidate
for the Presidency stumping the country in
his own cause. They talk as if Douglas was
degrading the Office by so doing. In the
first place, il is by no means new thing.
In the next place, these fastidious persons
forget that it is the sovereign people who
control this Office, whom Mr.. Douglas ad-
dresses. The idea of demeaning the office is
nothing but the idea that the office is above
the people, and is degraded by being brought
in contact with them.
There is an idea that as soon as a man is
nominated for the Presidency, his mouth
should be sealed and a committee set to
watch his pen. But this is policy, not dig
nifty. 1t is cunning and caution, lest some
thing should be said which could be turned
against him by the opposite party. 1t is the
opposite Of regard for the dignity of the posi-
tion to which he is nominated. To disregard
this sly policy, and take the stump, may be
bad policy, but it is certainly quite as digni-
fed as the other, and is entitled to the credit
of boldness

Romantic "Reminiscences of Louis NapO-
IeOn-The Present Emperor of France n
SuitOr for the Hand of Lafayette's Grand
daughter.
1t may be interesting, says the New York
Home Journal, to republish the following
extract from a conversation with j. Fenni-
more Cooper, the novelist, in 1885, recorded
at the time by \. P. Willis, then in Paris:
was calling upon Lafayette one day, said
Mr.. Cooper. and was let in by his confiden-
tial servant who. it struck me, showed signs
of having some thing to conceal. He said
his master was at home, and, after moments
hesitation, made way for me to go on as
usual, TO his private room; but | saw there
was some embarrassment. | walked in, and
found the General alone. He received me
with the same cordiality as ever, but inquired
with some eagerness who let me in, aud
whether | met an old acquaintance going
out. ! told him that his servant had ad-
mitted me, and that there was some thing
peculiar in the mans manner, but as | had
seen no one else, knew nothing more.
"Ah," said the General, "that fellow put
him in the side room. Sit down, and will
tell you. Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte
was here two minutes agop
l expressed my surprise, of course, for
this was IN '33, when it was death for a
Bonaparte to enter France.
"Yes," continued the General, "and he
came with proposition. He wishes to marry
my granddaughter Clementine, unite the
Republicanists and Imperialists, and make
himself Emperor, and make my grand
daughter Empress"
"And if it be not an indecent question"
said, "what was your answer, my dear
GeneralW
81 told him." said Lafayette, "that my
family had the American notion on that sub
iect and choose husbands for themselves;
that there was the young lady; he might go
court her, and if she liked him, had no OBJ
lection"
Mr.. Cooper did not tell us (for of course he
did not know how the Prince piled his
wooing, nor why he failed. The fair Glenn
entine, who thus, possibly, lost her chance
of being an Empress, married NJ. de Beau
mont and now represents her rejected
admirer as the French Embassadress at the
Court of Austria.

AN ANCIENT PACKAGE OF NEWS PICKED UP
AT SEA.-Our readers are probably aware
that the news by European steamers is fire.
queDtly intercepted off Cape Race, New
fouDdland, and thence transmitted by tele-
graph over 1000 miles to the business CEN
tiers of the United States. The news is
obtained in this way. The press of the
United States employ an agent in Europe,
who prepares copies of the news by each
steamer sailing from England for this coun-
try. These copies are placed in water-tight
tin packages, which, when the steamer ar
riyes off Cape Race, are thrown overheard.
A boat cruises off the coast in search of
the package, and if fortunate enough to find
it, hurTies back TO the telegraph office. In
many cases, however, they are unsuccessful,
and probably hundreds of these packages
are now floating upon the Atlantic. The
schooner OuseI, which arrived at Province
town On the 18th instant, picked up July q
longitude $40 30 latitude 46o 26', a can con-
tanning papers and news from steamship
Europa, dated June 10. OF course the news
was rather ancient for these "fast times" in
the transmission of news.

VALUABLE COLLECTION or THR PAINTINGS
OF THE OLD MAsTERs.--Mr. Jarvis, a native
of Boston, and recently returned to this
country from Europe, has brought with him
collection of pictures indorsed by Sir
Charles Eastlake end the directors of the
two great galleries at Florence. He claims to
possess originals by Salvador Rosa, Guido,
Michael Angelo, Raphael, Fra Bartolemeo,
Fra Angelica, Helbein, Rubens, Del Sarlo
Cowlbue, Giotto, Ghirlandajo, Domenichino,
Giorgione, Paul Veronese-in all l25 pic
tures-specimens of every stage of Italian
painting. Ifthe works are authentic, the
collection is, beyond doubt, the most i'm
portant that has ever been in America. Mr..
Jarvis designs to establish great public
gallery, ofwhich the paintings he has already
brought are to form the nucleus. Unless he
can sell these either in New York or Boston,
he will take them back to Europe, where he
has already received large offers for them.
Mr. Jarvis's first attempt to dispose OF his
collection will be in Boston.

George Washington.

The fictitious and impossible character
which the biographers have made of Wash
ington, is happily illustrated by remark in
Irving's life, which represents the illustrious
Father of his Country, as patronizing the
Almighty. Irving remarks that Washington
spoke of the awful responsibility of his stu
alton with that solemn and sedate resolu-
ton, and that hopeful reliance on Supreme
Goodness which belonged to his magnani-
nous nature"

A Sketoh Of the Corypheus Of FilIbusters-
General walkers Life and Death.
2aturdavie Now Ynrlr TJ-;b,,as savs.


Saturdays New York Tribune says
Without waiting for the particulars Of
the closing catastrophe to General Walkers
eventful career, we may assume that he died
like soldier, in the truest sense of the term.
His friends in this city attribute his fate TO
an uuyielding moral courage and proud
contempt Of the consequences before him,
which forbid the slightest approach to pc
ttion, on his personal account, for leniency
or mercy. Their present belief is that he
must have refused the mediation of the En-
glish commander on terms which, besides
being humiliating apology to the Hondu-
ran authorities, may have looked to the un-
conditional abandonment of his claim upon
Nicaragua, and his aims, of every nature,
upon that and all other of the Central Amer
ican Governments. In other words, that he
must have declined giving the parole which
was probably demanded of him as the con-
dition precedent to pardon or reprieve
They are quite sure that if there was aught
in such demand, which implied directly or
remotely, personal humiliation or public
disgrace, be did decline it, promptly and
feaTlessly, without the culver of muscle,
or the superhuous or doubtful use ofa single
word; thus yielding up his life on apunctilio
of honor as readily as he had often before
risked it on the hazard of imminent and ex-
traordlnary dangers, voluntarily assumed,
on other fields. Such was the man. and as
such we have every reason to believe he died.
Gen. Walker terminated his career at a
comparatively early age. We are told that
he had but just attained his thirty y-sixth
| year. he was born in Nashville, Tennessee,
in May, 1924 and was thoroughly educated
Under the most favorable auspices for what
ever liberal profession he might select in
after life, first by a collegiate course at the
University of Nashville, where he acquitted
himself with the highest honors of his class,
| and afterward in the Medical Schools of
Philadelphia and Paris enjoying, also, while
| in Europe, the advantages of tour through
Germany and Italy, where his opportunities
for Belles-lettres scholarship were not only
liberal, but keenly enjoyed and appreciated
| by mind then, at least, quiet and studious
/ to degree that utterly forbid the idea of an
| adventurous or restless career in later life.
| His distaste. however, to the medical pro-
fession, which he declined practically to
enter upon, turned him to the law, and the
associations of the law, not unnaturally to
| politics, in which he first engaged in New
| Orleans, and subsequently, in 1850-5l, in
| California, from which point he entered
upon the hazardous career which, after the
varied fortune of six years, is now termi-
mated.

The Great Race Over the Fashion Course

The great four-mile running race, over the
Fashion Course, near New York, yesterday,
for $4,000, proved very unsatisfactory after
all the fanfaronade with which it was
heralded. "Daniel Boone" was withdrawn,
and "Planet" distanced "Congaree" on the
first heat-time 7:39; the first mile being
made in l:54. The betting was five to one
on the winning horse. A number of wagers
were laid here on the ISSUE among the sport
ing gentry; "Daniel Boone" having numer-
Gus hackers.

spoke a few words of kindness to him.
These manners are still to a great extent
preserved; and the Queen, whose throne is
maintained by manufactures and commerce,
regards It as too sacred to be contaminated
by their presence. These are the manners
which we have inherited. We may delude
ourselves with the idea that we are honoring
the industrial arts, by honoring a Prince
who at home, would regard his throne as
too high to stoop to recognize either us OF
our arts or commerce; but the real feeling
that instigates us to pay honor to the Prince
is that reverence for rank and noble birth
which we inherited with our Anglo-Saxor
blood.
