FASHIONABLE SPRING CosTUME.-As
proof that high necked dresses-out of
the ball room-have still some claims to
grace and prettiness, we quote a Paris
correspondents descriptions of two cos.
tunes for Spring. The first is intended
for. brunettes, the second for blondes:5
"The underskirt is q corn. colored rfou.
lard; the upper one a gray ground: upon
which are scattered little cachmire leaves,
and is trimmed with gray and cachemire.
The tunic is looped up one side almost to
the waist by a piece Of open work, which
falls back upon the underskirt and ter
inmates in point. The sash is half long,
made of futed toulard, fastened at the
waist by foulard.knot, and with the
ends trimmed and pointed. The corsags
is high in the back, and cut square W the
neck in front. The square is covered by
a piece of open work, like that falling on
the underskirt.
"ThA material is silver white fou-
lard, upon whose ground are scattered
violets. The underskrt is pale violet,
trimmed with white blonde about ten
centimetres above the edge; a. trimming
of velvet surrounds the upperskirt, and
is fastened behind by sash of velvet
foulard, trimmed with white. The cor.
sage is fastened by only three buttons,
opened in heart shape in front, with a
turn down collar and lappets in velvet.
1t is high behind as in the other ease"

DrpARrURR OF EM1aRArrs FOR LIBERIA.

DEPARTuRRoFE EMIaRAETs FOR LIBERIA,
The. Colonization Sooiety's ship Geleenda
sailed from Savannah on Thursday after
noon, with four hundred and fifty-one
emligrants for Liberia. Of these, twelve
were from Savannah, FIVE from Augusta,
twenty FIVE from Sparta, thirty-seven from
Marion, Twiggs county, and two hundred
and four from Columbus, Georgia; twelve
from. Mobile, and thirty-nine from Eufau-
la, Alabama; forty-two from Columbus,
Mississippi; sixty,fve from Ridgeville,
South Carolina and nine from Nashville,
Tennessee. They have chosen as their
places OF settlement in the African Re-
public-Monrovia, sixty-eight Cape Pal
masyninety; and Bassa, two hundred and
ninety.two. Most of the men are farmers
and mechanics, and are well, supplied
with agricultural implements and tools.
Turning lathes and the requisite machine:
ry for grist and saw mills, for which am
pie water power abounds in Liberia, were
taken by some of the well-to.d do o. them.
Sewing machines were not forgotten by
the women. Free transportation in The
ship was given them by the Society, such
articles tending to promote the success OF
the emigrants and the republic to which
they go. A fair proportion of the com.
pany can read, and some can read and
write. There are five licensed ministers
of the Baptist and Methodist denomina-
tions.
