[7 SINGLE COPIES ONE CENT. FASHIONS FOR MAY. [From Le Follet ] Materials for spring dresses are now appear- ing in great variety. We have already spoken of checked taffetas in two light shades, separa- ted by fine threads of satin; these, as well as the tlounced chine taffetas, and spring moires with three or four flounces, will be the decided favorites of the present season. Poplins, also, either in, jaspecs, or chines, will be very fashionable; blue, light green, pink and various shades of gray, being the principal colors now worn. Although there has lately been a cru- sade against basques, they are still triumph- ant; they are worn either short or deep, but yaore generally the latter. They are variously trimmed—raches p! ings, gauffered ribbons, and passementeries are all much used. Dresses without basques, however, are more and more seen in evoning toilet. The body is frequently made as well as beforeand vinted on the eo behind; and the double skirt is trimmed with pink ruches, or with one or two rows of ribbon, plaited a la vicille. The same trimming is also placed on the high body, or round the berthe, which is slightly pointed before and behind. When the body is with ues, the same plait- ing is arranged en breteiles reaching to the waist behind. and united by a strap at front, pany the sppearance of a square-cut body. Some double skirts are ornamented by ruches, or some other fancy trimmings, placed down the same; in which case they are finished by a sim- ple hem only. They have one advan over fiownces, in that they employ less material. A wide fringe forms a very elegant trimming; it is placed exclusively on the upper skirt. In no part of the toilette is there greater va- riety than in the form of sleeves. The pagoda, | Greve and Juive shapes are still worn; others | are composed of three puffs, or of two with a frill below. A more dressy sleeve is arr: in flat plaits nearly from the armhole to the elbow ; sometimes a row of buttons is placed on — or one button only at the termina- tion of the plait. Below the elbow the sleeve forms @ pagoda, cut up in front of the arm, lined with white silk, and trimmed round the inside edge with a flat plaited white ribbon. Witb respect to mantles there is some indeci- sion between the large and small; the latter, however, appears more suitable for summer wear. Etolles of blonde, guipure, or black lace, are very frequently placed on the erowns of bon- nets. Falls of lace or tulle, the color of the bonnet. are more than ever worn, as are also those of white tulle. In one of our most fashionable houses we have just seen some very elegant toilettes. One was a dress of China rose taffetas in large checks, and in the centre of each a bou- quet of light brown and white chine. The body was not quite high, showing a guimre en- tirely composed of bouillonnes of tulle, and | was trimmed round the top with a ribbon half _ and half ight brown, plaited a la vieille. he sleeves very open, with Jockeys; the under seeves, bouillonues of tulle, covered by acheck —- ribbon to match that round the top of the ly. We also very much admired an English green taffetas dress with two skirts, the upper one berdered by a broad band of myrtle green, edged on each side by a narrow ruche of black lace. The light iy was without basques, bottomed at front, and ornamented by a Ra- phael berthe, formed of a band of myrtle green, edged to match that on the skirt. The body was trimmed 2 ee of black lace ; ruehes both in the front and on the back. With this was to be worn a black taffetas shawl, cov- ered with embroidery ix narrow braid, and sur- rounded by a broad black lace; and acrinoline bonnet, trimmed with a wreath of feathers, shaded from bright green to myrtle green. Among the evening dresses we very much ad- wired the two following : The first was a dress of Nakara velvet, with very low body, the drapery being held on each shoulder by noeuds and pendants formed of diamonds. The coiffure was com bandeaux taken very low behind, surmounted by a wreath of oak leaves; full at the sides and back, and quite narrow across the front of the | head, where it was fastened by a diamond star. | The other was a dress of maize colored rape ; | the skirt entirely covered with bouillonnes, sprinkled with small bows of white ribbon. Over this was @ tunique of point d’Alengon, forming a basque to the low body. The berthe was open very wide en coeur, and laced together by rows of small diamonds separated by bouil- lonnes of maize crape. The sleeves were very wide and hanging, caught up by agraffes of dia- monds. A superb wreath of corn ears and lilies of the valley, also of diamonds, formed the head-drese, being finished gn one side by a handsome water-lily. Heavy bonnets can no longer be worn, and yet this uncertain weather makes one almost afraid to enter on too great a change, so that eur modistes have to exert their ingenuity in the mixture of materials in order tw combine elegance with comfort in the new spring bon- nets. We have selected some of the prettiest | tor deseription. j A white taffetas bonnet, at the edge, and a third, without ruches, round | the crown. On one side of the front a bunch of | small white feathers, the ends tinted with a} boomer — Blonde se white flowers, very wide and long while taffetas strings edged “a green. - a A violet taffetas bonnet entirely covered with Ulack face and trimmed with a long feather of the some shade as the taffetas, twisted round tae crown and falling over the curtain; in the inside bunches of white violet, mixed with bouil- lonnes of tulle. A very elegant, and at the same time simple simple style, was of white crape, with a wide fold of China blue gros de Naples, a shade be- tween the corn flower and re blue. A long feather, known by the name of the plume de- cuiree, was placed round the bonnet, fallin; like a graceful fringe over the front and che curtain. Small feathers of the same kind, mixed with the blonde in the inside, and a ban- deau of blue ribbon across the forehead. Bonnets are still worn very open, thrown back at the cheeks, and pointed in front. The | curtain deep, put on in large plaits, arranged in such @ manner as not te fall over the should- “rs. hor to stand out tw stiffly in the middle of the back. The crown inclines, and the inside of the bonnet is very much trimmed with blonde and flowers, placed either in smail bouqueta— two of them high up on the right side, and the two lower down on the left—or else a small *reath carried across the forehead. Rice straw and crape, mixed with velvet and flowers or feathers, seem tu be the favorite ma- terials at present in use; and the Marie Stuart or Pamela the prevailing shape of the season. Por evening cviffure, resilles of pearls or gold, with bunches of flowers at the side, are much worn. The coiffure Pompadour, composed of » band of filagree silver, fastened at the side er a bow of blue ribbon. with two smaller bows of the same ribbon, placed lower down wards the back bair; aud on the other side two large roses, with foliage falling over the Lee a3 a charmile effect.

VOL. IX. Rival Equestrianism at Liverpool. {From the Liverpool Times, May 2.] The town of Liverpool has been more than or- dinarily excited this week by the rivalry of two ateg Spon companies of equestrians, contending for the support of the lieyes—an Knglish and an American compan’ and to each a handsome share of support has been extended. Our trans- Atlantic cousins do everything on a grand scale, and in what is called “go-a-beadedness”’ they far transcend the more sober realizations of the race from which they sprung. No stronger proof of the fact need be cited than these dissimilar cir- cus exploits, with which public attention has been occupied during the last few days. ‘The English establishment in Dale street, like our own ‘tight little island,”’ is substantial rath- er than showy—a paling which it required some weeks to erect, and to take down which will demand considerable time and labor. The per- formances are, like the es eed and inter- Sats ce clean, neat and satisfactot regards taste and arrangement. The American tent, of enormous copecity, and capable of accom- modating 5,000 people, 1s made of a material which, resisting the rain, can be pulled to pieces and rolled up in an hour or two, ready for expan- sion agnin when necessity requires it. It seems to ize life in the States, ere everything is — = bend to the perme i oe hour, and minister to as much animal enjoyment as - sible in the shortest imaginable time. ah The day preceding the American display the Englishnian challenged the attention of The pop- ulace by his team of eight horses, beautiful cream colored animals, which he held adinirably in hand ; and he cracked his whip over their geny backs in a manner which seemed to please an inspirit rather than annoy the brutes. It was an admirable exhibition of street driving. His ma- sicians and equestrians toe, following, retiected credit on the troupe, and showed that equestrian- ism, when spiritedly conducted, can flud decent People to follow it as a profession. e American procession was on a larger scale —forty fine cream colored horses, four abreast, with a charioteer, who wore rather an auxious ap- arance. He did not use the whip—so far, at east, as we conld perceive—and it was said that he could only check the movements of his lead- ers and wheelers. There were men on each side of the horses conducting them—an indispensable precaution under the circumstances, but which seemed rather to disappoint the public, which always delights in the marvellous. Then came the Indian wi im, driven by a negro, and other illustrations {Incidental to ¢ United States, which the other establishment did not attempt to rival. We never remember the streets so densely crowded as they were on Thursday to witness the American display, and to such an extent was this carried that, for some hours, the ordinary busi- pst gee town might be said to be actually sus- pended. We are glad that our townsmen have given these clever and spirited strangers so hearty a welcome, for the risk and cost of importing “an equestrian troupe of this extent from the Western shores of the Atlantic must be scrious. But we allude to the subject here mainly for the purpose of showing how closely the character of the two nations is reflected in these rival displays—if we had time and re at our comunand to perfect the analogy. er ing for ourselves, we think that the principal charm of this description of enter- tainment consists in raising that noble domestic animal, the horse, by a high course of training, to the dignity of a rational ing, and, on the con- trary, making man, by a similar process, rival in strength and agility the attributes of the horse. Practicat Ssrwon.—Colored ministers often excel in those qualities in which many of their white brethren are especially deficient—pungen- cy and directness. The following sketch of a sermon, for whose accuracy the editor of an ex- change gives his personal voucher, is a yood il- lustration of these important qualities : Dropping into an African meeting- house in the outskirts of the city, we found the sermon just commenced. The topic seemed to be the depra- vity of the human beart, and the sable divine thus illustrated his argument : ** Bredren, when I was in Virginia one day, de ole woman's kitchen table got broke, an’ [ was sent into de woods to cut a tree to make a new leaf for it.
