under a charter from the State of New York,
to be called the North American and Italian
Mail Steamship Company, which bids fair to
occupy a. prominent position in the mari
tine and commercial world as the Pacific Mail
Company. The line will consist of twenty
frst-class iron propeller steamers Of not less
than two thousand tons each, touching at the
Azores, Lisbon, Cadiz, Barcelona, Marseilles
and Genoa, and returning by way of Leghorn.
Naples, Messina, and Palermo, back to New
York. Victor Emanuel, King Of Italy the
Swiss Government, and the King Of Portu-
gal, are extending every aid and cooperation
to the movement. The former has already
granted subsidy of one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars per annum, in gold, for car
rying the Italian mails. As the line is ex-
clusiveiy American, under the control of lead
ing New York capitalists, Congress should
certainly extend some additional aid and en-
enlargement to an enterprise SO worthy Of
popular approval.
A series of tables has just been published
to show the great falling of in the domestic
and foreign trade in this city, owing to the
result of unwise legislation and the absence
Of the formerly existing traffic with the
South. 1t is too lengthy to give in full.
Thus the total imports for January are a little
over fifteen millions, against about twenty
one millions for the same month of last year,
and thirty millions for January, 1866. 1t
will be interesting to note the changes in this
trade the balance of the year. The ship
ments are chiefly reckoned at their value in
paper money. The specie sent abroad is Civ
en- at its counted, or real value, but all others
at the market price in currency. The total
sent abroad in January, exclusive Of specie,
shows gain of one million dollars upon the
figures of last year, but it is
far below either of the years preceding that
now in bonded warehouse is about the same
as it was at the close of last June.
Everything which resembles the Marie
Antoinette style of toilet is all the rage just
now in this city, owing to the Queens Of So
ciety" past fifty having sensibly concluded
to wear their gray hairs rolled UP Ia turban,
after the manner Of that unhappy princess.

hair, with black eyebrows, are de-
cidedly u mode among the more youthful
,eHes Blonde beauties have had the ir day
md season for a time at least, and are get
ing out of fashion in the matrimonial market.
Brunettes, with dark olive compilations, are
low more generally admired, and have the
all against all odds, as We say in the money
market.
New York has q reputation for female
beauty, ranging from fifteen to twenty-five.
Dur streets give ample evidence of this fact
laily. But New York. for some reason not
apparent, does not preserve its beauty after
twenty-five. 1t then begins to decline toward
he sallow and efFeminate, inelastic and un-
attractive.
The landlords of our hotels have q keen
way of making money. 1t is the custom now
or them to give weekly hops at each Of their
,otels- Supper, music. parlors, attendance
md lights are all furnished gratis by the pro-
,rietor, but it is expected all the guests will
rider wine freely, and pay for it when it is
erved. The sale of the latter nets the land
ord quite handsome profit in return for his
rouble. The idea is borrowed from the balls
# the nymphs in the side streets. Modest
aides, however, decline to attend these balls,
or the reason that the landlords insist on
laving some Jenkins of the press present to
eport their names in full, and how they look
d, danced and dressed, ETC., in the fashion
olumns of the daily papers. Our bellies have
% idea of heing 80 extensively advertised for

erance people are never invited u these re-
Mons, and the chap that forgets to call for
his bottle" never receives an invitation to
ttend a second time. Taxing lsdies two
ollars for a room to lay aside their shawls
nd bonnets, while indulging in a free sup
er, is cutting it, to speak profanely, rather
Oppose.
The celebrated race-horse, Kentucky. re-
arded BY experienced judges the best race
orse on tho American turf, has been sold for
,rty thousand dollars, the same price paid for
