OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
A MAGNIFICENT OPENING OF FALL GOODS
BRADLAUGus STATEMENT REFUTED-THE
PRODUCE MARKET GOSSIP.
From our Special Correspondent.
New YORK, Oct. 13. 1873.
LARGE STOCK OF FALL GOODS.
No event could possibly occur that
would furnish greater interest to the fair
sex, than docs the magnificent fashiona-
bic openings given by Lord q Taylor at
their colossal uptown establishment.
These openings afford the elite a chance
to make their selections and feast their
eyes on manufactured splcndor, and the
opportunity to attend the openings given
are largely embraced. Recently we at.
tended the opening given to exhibit the
latest styles in dresses and drcssnakers
materials, and to say we were dazzled by
the display, would but feebly express the
merits of the affair. Among the novel.
ties were dresses in imitation of the costly
originals made by Worth of Paris. These
dresses were exact duplicates, both in
material and workmanship and were
Intended to show the ultra. fashionables
that this establishment can produce as
good dress as the famous Partisan in his
happiest efforts and at less than half the
cost ofimported dresses. This firm have
at great expense procured machine by
which they are enabled to give the ap-
pearanee of heavy cords such as those
in the material used by Worth, the effect
Of which is indescribably beautiful. The
opening of this firm differs from that OF
many others in that they do not seek to
dazzle opc with the magnificencc Of their
robes, but to show what they can do at
reasonable prices. They have been show.
ing for some time dresses can be made
here, which challenge comparison with
imported ones, at about the price of the
material of the foreign manufacture. The
art Of dressmaking here has been reduced
to a science, for ladies out Of town can
have perfect fitting dress made by slmp.
ly sending the waist OF an old dress and
the length of skirt desired; perfect fit
is guaranteed. 1t is proper to state that
the dress department of this establish
ment has vastly improved in the character
of its manufactures and general surround.

w. Warren, the able superintendent of
this house Mr.. Warren has the entire
responsibility of managing this mammoth
temple, and to do him justice, we will say
that his systematic arrangements are SO
perfect, that the routine of duties per.
formed reminded one Of the workings of
huge clock. One thing he especially
deserves praise for is politcness, which is
Chesterfeldian in all its bearing, and the
same can be truthiully said Of all the
attaches under him. When once lady
buys from this house she is ever after to
do her purchasing there. So much for
polteness, aud an honest representation
Of goods examined aud selected. Another
thing deserving Of notice is the admirable
manner in which one can while away a
spare half hour, whilst waiting for lady
friends to be measured for dresses. 1t

taste, in which there is handsome piano

New York affords such facilities.
BRADLAUGHs STATEMENTS REFUTED.
Rev. DR.. Brindley the other evening
at the Cooper Institute, delivered lee.
ture in opposition to the views promul-
gated by Mr.. Chas. Bradlaugh. As a
commencement, he said he had not come
to America to quarrel with republican
institutions in America, to abuse Ireland,
or to uphold aristocracy, but to dispute
Mr.. Bradaugh's statements relative to
republicanism in England. Where, he
said, is the evidence Of the ferment he
speaks Of? 1t would be just as reasonable
for an American to 60 to England and
say there was terment here for mon.

ments that the people Of England We're
in ignorance, he would assert that educa.
ton was compulsory and in reply to his
remarks that the English had no rights
under monarchy, and were not represent
ed in Parliament, he could assure his
readers that every person who paid
dollar per week rental had vote, and
that by the ballot. With regard to the
loyalty Of the people in England, their
soicitude during the late sickness of the
Prince of Wales and enthusiastic joy at
his recovery gave positive denial to
Bradaugh's story. The lecturer CON-
sdered that the mutual interests of Eng
land and America were SO blended that
any one protesting the tenets Of Mr..
Bradlaugh, self.announced propaganda
ist Of Atheism, who came here to destroy
the amity existing between them, did an
injury to humanity. The lecturer was
