The Fashions.
Paris, Dec. 13. —The Parisian celebrities among
.r'i ' v are exercising all their taste and inge
• in preparation for the brilliant season, which
.-.ifcommence with the New Year’s reception at
: Tuiieries. In the dress department 1 may men
u some new creation* of Madame Faucet :4 Hue
Mnars , whose perfect taste is an authority,
r full toilette there are robes of cut velvet, the
mnd of which is composed of taffetas, and made
three flounces ; on the edge of each flounce is a
,d wreath of flowers and leaves of black velvet;
s wreath, the delicacy of which is incomparable,
.. more the effect of painting than of application,
.wive narrow rows of the same trimming, with
pattern on it smaller scale, form an elegant
rmisli to the body, and complete the ensemble of
robe. The dresses are worn at either large or
. all evening parties; they are seen in all colors—
_--- u and black, hull’ and black, and pink and
jh -k ; the latter is the prettiest—the pink throw
ing the black velvet wreaths into such bold belief.
The materials for robes, most in vogue, are striped
nni plain tnoir- antique; silks with patterned
flounces, either in stripes or flowers; a number of
limeades, dres-cs with flounces bordered bv bands
.< i Iwt and fringes woven in the stuff. Silk
| —j having flounces embroidered in colored un
t.listed silk are very magnificent. For out door
.stiime, Mila me Fitted, makes all corsages high
am! wiili very long lappets ; they are ornamented
.viih braids, buttons and fringes. Tite front of the
dy, the sleeves and lappets, are often decorated
v.itl’i a great quantity of pendant buttons, which
• (hi a very pretty effect. For the evening, silk
skirts are trimmed with tulle and crape flounces.
The bodies are draped, from a point in front and
behind.
An invention lias lately been described by a live-
French writer, which converts a crenoline petti
di into a balloon ; the garment can be swelled
•it or reduced to its natural volume according to
i- will of the wearer. A small ingenious brass
■ •■■aoutehouc machine is attached to the petticoat;
is little piece of mechanism is furnished with a
-euspipe and piston. If you wish to be seated in
,l carriage or a box at the theatre, you open the
si nspipe and the air risperses, leaving your di
lensious such t>« will enable you to occupy a
m.idcrate space. But if von intend to display vour
iette on the Champs-ftlysees, or to enter it "ball
Min where hoops and trains reign triumphant,
you press the piston, the air tills the tissue and the
rmioline swells out majestically. I hope soon to
b>- able to tell your readers when these valuable
articles can be procured : with the present stvle of
-.!: ss, it is nearly impossible for two ladies, in full
toilette, to occupy the same carriage.
For ibis winter, the style of outer garments will
be paletots, talmas, and large cloaks. The trim
lings most used are galloons, passementeries,
Venice point, guipure laid on flat, and applications
i stamped velvet. The Kistori cloak la novelty
which we owe to the taste of Madame Petet, 4
- Vrndotn- . is composed of swan’s down
cloth, trimmed with buttons and twist fringe; the
upper part- is close around the neck, tittiug tight
j the shoulders and back, and consists of a pele
.iie cu: in live points, forming a Vandyke on the
back. The bottom of the mantle is cut across the
-t-ffl’in Vandykes, turned the opposite wav, so as
:-t close in between the Vandykes of the pelerine,
thus making the skirt of the coat very full. On the
scums of the Vandyke, and at the edges are sewed
small buttons; a; the corner of each vandvke hangs
a long flowing tassel; a deep fringe at the bottom
finishes the mantle. AVhen the talma is made of
velvet, it is trimmed with lace, guipure, and deep
rich fringes mixed with jet. In cloth, for neglige,
it is generally bordered by a velvet band, four
inches wide.
[ have lately seen magnificent lace tunics of
point <ie Bruxelles, point d’Angleterre and Alen
eous, at the celebrated lace manufactory of Icemen
d: Co., No. 1-5 Bout. ,;u d Mont-mat re, intended to be
worn over colored satins for ball dresses ; the tu
nic reaches to the knee, below which there is a
flounce of the same lace, or a trimming of bouil
lonnes and ribbons. The corsages of these robes
are covered with lace, either as a berthe, or as
braces. The passion for extravagant jewelry in
creases, as the season approaches for displaying
parures. Ball dresses are covered with precious
stones. Those with two skirts of different colors,
such as we see painted in the beautiful portrait of
Marie Antoinette, have the first jitpe, or tunic,
caught up iu festoons with agraffes of precious
stones. The jewelry establishment. An Negre, ly
Boulevard St. Denis, displays sets of ornaments in
diamonds, pearls and opals, destined to decorate
robes with silk or lace tunics. The Secigne for the
corsage, and the coiffure, and likewise composed
of diamonds, pearls and opals. The majority of
caps and coiffures for evening parties are made to
come forward on the forehead in a rounded point,
hke the Marie Stuart bonnets. They are trimmed
with floods of blonde, with which are blended
flowers, foliage, and fruit ; they are frequently j
composed of gold blonde and tips of feathers and
marabouts. The caps are generally in the function
-•vie, or else simply a round of blonde or lace, with
ribbons or flowers. The fashion for gentlemen’s
clothes undergoes but little change, whatever may
be the diversity in female attire ; the darkest colors
and the plainest make are the most recherche*.
For evening visits, the coat and pantaloons are
black; the white waistcoat and a cravat, forming
an indispensable part of this costume. The sleeves
of all coats, either for the street or the salons, are
w-Tn enormously wide. The establishment of j
Mr throe, 22 Boulevard Montmatre, is much resort
ed to, as furnishing the height of French fashion
for all who are in search of the last novelty in gen
tlemen’s dress.
llamas of blue and gold, purple and gold, scar- j
let and gold, produce a brilliant effect as hanging i
for drawing rooms. There is superb furniture made j
in the Atelier* of Cunt- d- Co., 5 Hue d* Charonne, \
of the /’-drier, the wood of the pear tree. The
Mi le Louis XV. continues to be preferred by those |
who esteem lightness and grace in forms more than
elaborate ornaments. The buffets for dining rooms
in fn.ird r and marble, are fine specimens of this new ,
style of furniture, and replace happilv the heavy
and elaborate oak furniture which has been so
much in favor for the last few years.
A Diskvi M\x\ George Lippard in his new
work called 7 A r.trene, thus speaks of Presi
dent Jackson:
“H * was a man Well 1 remember the day I
waited upon him. 1!.- sat there in his arm chair
l ean see that old warrior face, with its snow
white hair even now. \\ e told him of the public
distress—the manufacturers rained—the eagle
shrouded in crape, which were borne at the head
of twent v thousand men into Independence Square.
He heard us all. We begged him to leave the de
posits where they were, to uphold the great bank
m Philadelphia. Still he did not say a word. At
last one of our members more tirery than the rest,
intimated that if the bank was crushed, a rebellion
might follow. Then the old man rose. 1 can see
him yet.
“ • Come!’ lie shouted in a voice of thunder, as
his clenched hand was raised above his white
hairs; • Come with bayonets in your hands instead
of petitions - surround ihe White House with vour
legions -1 am ready for you all! With the peo
ple at mv back, whom your gold can neither buy
u->r awe, I will swing you up around the Capitol
toll one of you on a gibbet as high as Ha
man’s !’
" When l think,’ says the author, ‘of that one
titan standing here at Washington, battling with
all the powers of bank and panic combined, be
tray.,-.! uy thus ■ in whom he trusted, assailed by
a!! that the snake of malice could hiss or the fiend
i falsehood howl- -when I think of that one man
placing his ha -k . gainst the rock and folding his
arms for the blow, while he uttered his vow,
‘ 1 will not swerve one incli from the course I have
taken,’ I must confess that the records of Rome
—nay, the proudestldays of Cromwell or Napoleon
—cannot furnish an instance of a will like that oi
Andrew Jackson when he placed life and fame oil
the hazard of a die for the people’s welfare.”

An Indian complained to a retailer that the price
of liquor was too high. The latter said it cost as
much to keep a hogshead of brandy as it did a
cow. “Maybe he drink as much water,’’ replied
the Indian, “ but he no eat so much hay.”

It has become necessary to place an iron fence

During the late epidemic in Norforlk, Dr. Reed,

At Vienna (Austria,’) every person who frequents

he pays a trifling sum ; and on the Ist of the month
notice was given to the police authorities that in
future every ticket would, in addition to the name
and address, have the religion of its possessor in
scribed ntt it. The new regulation has excited ex
treme indignation among the Hebrew frequenters
of the Exchange, and it will probably be felt when
their assistance is again required by the State.
The rains throughout the south, for some weeks,
have been unprecedented. In Columbia on Wed
nesday, the river was rising rapidly, and the Wa
teree, at Camden, had risen yesterday to the top of
the banks, and was increasing so fast that great
fears were entertained of a freshet. A despatch
from Montgomery, Ala., dated Ist inst., says :
“ W e have had an almost continuous rain in this I
country for three consecutive weeks past.
“ The mails for the past five days from New
Orleans and Mobile, are now due. In all direc
tions the railroads are submerged, and bridges
have been carried away. The whole country is
inundated, and nearly all intercommunication is
suspended. Such a flood has not- occurred before
since the days of Noah, and the damage will be al
most bevond computation.”
The Mobile, Ala., Advertiser, of the 20th ult.,
also, savs:
" From memoranda attached to the manifest of
the steamer Octavia, arrived yesterday from Tus
caloosa, which place she left on the 25th, we learn
that it was snowing and sleeting in those latitudes,
snow having already fallen to the depth of eight j
inches. The river was at a stand, but heavy rains j
were reported through the regions above.”
In Charleston the weather has been dreadful, and 1
considerably retarded business, which, at this sea- '

generally very brisk. Yesterday it rained heavily i
until the afternoon, when it cleared up.

CHARLESTON, Jau 3.—We have to report one
of the most unfavorable and dull weeks that has
been reviewed in our commercial summaries for
many years. The frequent and almost ceaseless
showers that have prevailed, and, for several weeks
preceding, have well nigh stopped transactions in
some articles, and have seriously interfered with
all. In such as were liable to direct injury, by ex
posure, little or nothing has been done, while as to
others, the continued inclemency of the weather has
retarded or prevented the attentions and exertions ;
necessary to transactions. Vessels have been lying i
at our wharves awaiting such a condition of weath
er as would permit their discharging; and all de- :
partments ot carriage and transfer of merchandize |
may be said to have been suspended.
Cotton.-f The present week opened with a mod- j
erately fair demand, aud for several days the quo- \
tations given in our report of the 28th ultimo were i
well maintained; prices, however, subsequently !
became depressed, and the more recent transac- J
tions show a languid and drooping market, which !
was particularly the ease on the Middling grades, j
which may be quoted about under the extreme !
prices of the previous week. The receipts since i
our last reach 8600 bales, and the sales in the same i
time may be put down at 8100 bales, 652 bales of
which were sold yesterday. We quote Ordinary
to Good Ordinary f Low to Strict. Middling
8%@9; Good Middling ; Middling Fair
9%0i.9L;, and Fair 9%.
Bice. —There has been a good demand for all
qualities of this article, and the receipts, which
comprise 2466 tierces, have changed hands at an
advance of W (ff\ }fc. on former prices. The ex
tremes ranged from ¥4Lf to but the bulk of
the sales have been made within the range of
(0147-y pf hundred.
Corn. —The receipts by railroad comprise 14,- |
000 bushels, a small portion of which has been ;
sold at prices ranging from SO to Site. bushel,
including sacks. About 1600 bushels North 1
Carolina, held over from tlu previous week, !
brought 88c., and 2500 bushels received since our !
last, sold at 83. jk bushel.
Oats. —The last sale was at 4.5 c. y bushel.
! Peas. —The receipts this week, by Railroad, foot ;
j up 1,500 sacks, the bulk of which has been sold at \
i prices within the range of 90 @ 95c., principally at -
! the latter price.
Flour. —The receipts, by Railroad, since our last, !
J foot up nearly 1,600 barrels, which have reached a
: market previously more than abundantly supplied, j
Bacon and Lard. —The supply is gradually' in
creasing, but there is no present demand for either
article, and prices are also nominal.
Sugars. —-There is a fair supply of Louisiana on
the market, but the inclement state of the weather
throughout the week has materially interfered with
transactions. Prices run from 7to 9t£c., accord
ing to quality.
Coffee. —\\ c have no transactions to report. It
j will be seen, on reference to our auction head, that
] some 4500 bags Rio are advertised for sale during
the ensuing week.
Molasses. —There was an arrival this week of 146
hhds. Cuba, the first of the new crop, which was j
contracted for on terms which have uot been al- j
lowed to transpire. Retail price 38(u.-10c. We j
learn that some 300 bbls. of New Orleans have
been sold to arrive at -14 and 45. Nothing has
been done with several parcels received last week,
as recent advices from New Orleans have prompted
, holders to ask even higher prices than those re
i corded above.
! Freights. —The rates to both Liverpool and Havre j
; have declined since our lust report. We quote to j
j the former port, for Cotton in square bags, 7-16 d,
' and to the latter Ic. We quote to New York, in
| sailiug vessels, 25c. for Cotton, and by steamers
j 5-16 cts.
SAVANNAH, Jan. 3.— Colton.. —There was lath
er a limited demand to-da\ without change in pri
i cos. The sales amount to 866 bales as follows: 83
iat 8k(; 45 at 8%; 161 at 9; 600 atAD (, and 29 bales
