VnnderbiIt's New Depot.


NEW YORK, Dec q, 1869.
In his project of erecting a new and immense
depot on Fourth avenue, between Forty-second
and Forthwith streets, Commodore Vanderbilt
has hit the idea of many man who had not the
means of embodying it. 1t is calculated that
the new building will be finished in about one
years time, and it will give accommodation to
all the trains on the Harlem Railroad, the New
Haven Railroad, and the Hudson River and New
York Central. Including local and express
trains, about one hundred daily are run by these
roads. All of them are to make their head
quarters at this depot, which will connect with
various car and stage lines carrying passengers
down town and to the hotels. You can have
some idea of the extent OF the affair
when say that it is to be little
less than seven hundred feet long and little
less than two hundred and fifty feet wide.
new street is to be cut along the east side of the
building from Forty-second to Forty-ffth street,
and sixty feet in width. Upon the new street
the grand depot is to have fits principal frontage,
although the end facing on Forty-second street
will furnish handsome entrance by itself for
the trains of the New Haven Road. Notwith-
standing the multiplicity OF offices and
entrances however, the travellers will find
themselves in vast car house about one hun
dred and twenty thousand feet square. road
is to be built to connect the Hudson
River and Harlem roads at some point above
Harlem, and charter for company to build
such road has already been granted. l pre-

with his usual liberality. If SO, of course he
will engage the services of Captain De Gorot,

Fashions.
It is not often that have anything to say in
regard to the fashions, for the simple reason
that know very little about them and what
ever do write must come to me secondhand.
Some very beautiful and expensive dresses yes.
terday came under my observation, however,
and you shall hear what they were like. One
carriage dress was of black silk made short and
trimmed with broad biases of velvet on the
skirt. The sleeves were circular and large
and half formed the back of the garment.
Another one was of green silk, made en-
pdnier, and very voluminously punched. A
third was dinner dress of pink moire antique
over white satin petticoat. The sleeves were
quite short, the trimmings of Valencienncs, the
corsage low, and amidst the laces of the skirt,
in careless elaboration, was tralled a Wlld vine
intensified with roses. fourth was of coral
colored silk trimmed with point lace and valued
at twenty-three hundred dollars. These arrivals
were the very latest from the headquarters OF
fashion. 1t is understood that for the remainder
of the winter Eugene will issue no further
bulletins.
Rolled on Bucket.
Such were the means applied for the resuscita-
tion of Mr.. Hugh McDermott, who a short time
ago arrived in this city from Scotland. When
he first came here Mr.. McDermott was a sober
industrious, and happy man. He had nice
