Fashions la ParIs-Their Variety Over.
rnted.


A Paris correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger remarks:
Every American thinks Paris is the place
to see the fashions. This is mistake. You
see in the streets just what you see in Phila-
delphia, except that overdressing is confined
to foreigners. French ladies do not walk
the streets to show their dresses; but in the
open carriages that crowd some of the fine
avenues in good weather, dresses are worn
for display. In the streets the French ladies
appear to consult their ease and comfort,
being content to dress with simple gentility.
Gentlemen dress now in the same uniform
frock coat and shiny stovepipe hat, all over
Europe and America.
The soft hat so much worn in America is
very little seen in Europe. Were a gentle
man of Philadelphia suddenly let down
upon the broad and beautiful promenade in
Berlin, upon the boulevards of Brussels or
Paris, he would not know from the dresses OF
people that he left Philadelphia. One does
not see that variety of novel costume from
Eastern nations which we expect. A High
land dress in Paris, which we saw, attracted
far more astonishment than it does in Broad
way.
The fashions we get in America as French,
may be set down as all our own; or, they
have been abandoned when we adopt them.
The fashion of street-sweeping dresses APP
pears as prevalent in Paris as in New York,
though travellers write otherwise.
Smoking is quite as popular in all parts OF
Europe as in America. Every body fumes
in the streets in the saloons and in the rail
cars, and no respect is paid to ladies in this
particular. 1t is presumed that every lady
has got used to the odor, and, therefore, does
not mind it.

Distressing Naval Disaster-PrObabIeL Los
of a United States Man of War with al
on Board.


DistressfDs Naval Disnster-PrObabIe Loss
of a United States Man of War with all
on Board.
There is reason to fear, says the New York
Times, that the United States sloop-of. war
Levdnt has gone down, with all hands on
board.
For the last four weeks apprehension of
her loss has been generally gaining currency
in the navy, and the news received by the
Der artment at Washington on Friday, to the
effect that the Commander-in-C Chief of the
Pacific Squadron had not ordered herto stop
at any intermediate ports between Honolulu
and Panama, has removed the few hopes of
her safety that existed
She had been cruising for some time around
the Sandwich Islands, showing the Ameri-
can flag occasionally at different seaboard
cities, and had sailed for the headquarters
of the squadron at Panama to replensh her
stores and provisions, when last heard from.
For over forty days the naval officers and
sailors at the latter place were rather anx-
ious about her, and the California mail, some
weeks since, brought intelligence of her
probable destination.
So many ill.foundcd rumors, however,
relative to the alleged wreck of United
States men, ot-war, Of the Pa,vnee Seminole,
Congress, Niagara, &C., have, from time to
time, found their way into the newspapers
that we thought best to keep the matter
quiet for awhile. There is no use, however,
in hiding it longer.
The Levdnt is a sloop-of-war of the third
class, ranking with the Vandahd, Cyane and
ST. Loais. She was built at Brooklyn,
twenty three years ago. is 1872 tuns burden,
and carries twenty guns. She served the
country well in her time, having cruised
actively on the Home, African, East Indies
and Pacific Squadrons. Side by side with
the San Jdeinto, she, during her last commits
sion, threw in her broadsides to the Barrier
Forts on the Canton River, and did much
toward capturing them.
s After her return from China she was
thoroughly overhaaled and repaired at Nor
folk from which port she sailed over year
ago for the Pacific Ocean.
The Ievant was always considered good,
strong ship, but never rated with fast sailors.
Her condition up to the date of her de-
parture from the Sandwich Islands was re-
ported to be good.
While the Legant was going out from
the Atlantic States, she was temporary flag
ship Of the feet, Commodore Montgomery
and suite being on board.

The Anniversary of the Battle of New
Orleans came and went off with no signs Of
recognition on the part of those who were
in previous years, wont TO observe it with a
zeal more than--though somewhat different
from-religious. So far as came under our
observation, there was nothing done to dis
tinguish the day frem any other of the 1856.
Whether the admirers of the old hero were
still under the influence of that subdued
and devoted feeling which their close OBJ
servance of the Presidents day of fasting
and prayer must have generated, or whether
they reffained from demonstrations, out of
respect to the sensibilities Of the Democracy
Of the Cotton States, is a question that we
are unable to answer.
1t is by no means impossible that the OBJ
selvance of a day, sacred to the memory of a
man who was sopeculiaIly associated with the
Secession movements ofls32, would be taken
by South Carolina as evidence of hostility to
Southern institutions" and become the oc-
casion of demand for new guarantees. 1t
is we'll, perhaps, therefore, emu an evidence
of q fidelity TO the Union that ignores all
minor considerations--such as love and re-
spect for personal greatness and important
public service-which induced our DEM
ocratic fellow. citizens to permit, for the first
time, their peculiar anniversary to pass in
silence-a pitch Of discretion for which we
fear we are not sufficiently grateful.

The DOCTRINE OF THE IRREPREssIBLE Con-
FLIcT.-Neither to Mr.. Seward nor Mr.. Lin
coin, nor even yet to the Buffalo editor,
name unknown, belongs the honor Of dis
covering or originally promulgating the doc
trine Of the irrepressible conflict. William
the Silent was familiar with it nearly three
hundred years-ago, when he said to the State
of Holland: "Tis impossible that chariot
should move evenly having its wheels IN
equally proportionedi and SO must con-
federation be broken to pieces it there be
not an equal obligation on all to tend to a
common purpose"

THE SWORD FOR GARrBALDI.-Alexandr

in the name Of his family, the sword offered

consuls, Bonaparte, Lebrun and Dueos. This
sword will be conveyed to Garibaldi by the
Polish General MierOslawski.

THE Enquirer says that while every body
else was profoundly affected by the news
published on Sunday morning, that the
Union was saved, and were enjoying the
hottest sensations, the Press treated the
news 'in fippant, sneering STYLE as it does
every thing, sacred as well as profane."
To treat sacred things that way is bad
enough, but that the PRESS should sneer at
profane things is too bad. 1t should be
talked to.

Mr.. Y~ardley-It won't fly at all.
Captain Richly, DO; / should think

After some further discussion it was
agreed that the defendant should give up
the new wing to the complainant, and the
summons was, on this understanding, dis
missed.

Melancholy Picture of "a LOndO TheAter.
A special correspondent of the Post is at
present writing on "London Horrors" and
says in one of his letters:
The New Cut does not differ much from
ShoTeditch, or Capel-street, SomerstOwn,
and may be shortly described as a succession
and a few cheap bakers, aud at one corner
stands the Victoria Theater, formerly called
the Coburg.
1t is a large, well built house, and in its
time has been celebrated for good acting,
but it is now one of the "three penny
theaters," giving a very coarse kind of drama.
suited to its audiences. The fittings are
faded, the walls are smeared with greasy
dirt, the pithoOr is muddy aud half covered
with Orange-peel and broken bottles, and the
whole place is a little cleaner than the
courts and alleys at its back, but nothing
more.
The audience are worth looking at; and
on the night of a popular drama, such as
OkiVer IViSt or Jack Sheppard, the gallery
presents a mosteXtra0rdinary picture. Half
the evil, IOw-brOWed, lowering faces in Lon
con are wedged in l,200 deep, perspiring,
watchful and silent. Every man is in his
vel ow shirt sleeves, every woman has her
battered bonnet In her lap.
The yell when "Bill Sykes" murders
Nancy is like the roar of a thousand wild
beasts, and they show their disapprobation
Of the act, aud their appreciation of the
actor, by cuTsing him in no measured terms.
l once heard an eminent performer say that
be looked upon Kisses as applause when be

he would s-9ud . chance of bsing spit upon
