It is expected that they will land in Dublin at noon to-morrow, and a dispatch from that city sets forth that tho great preparations which have been made here to ?rive all possible eclat to the visit of the Prince of Wales are about completed. The castle has been changed into a royal palace for his accommodation. St. ?a> Patrick's Cathedral has been most superbly decorated for the coming ceremonies attending the invitation of His Boyal Highness, as a Knight of St. Patrick. The quays and publio buildings are lavishly ornamented with flags, streamers, mottoes, and other decorations, and beautiful triumphal arches have been erected in the principal streets through which the royal visitor will pass. The people of the surroun? ding country are pouring into the city, and crowds of visitors are hourly arriving from Englandto witness the ceremonies and partici? pate in the festivities of the reception.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-The impeachment trial was continued. W. W. Anthony, of Cleve? land, testified that most of the President's apeechlthere was in response to interruptions, as a large majority of the crowd were disorder? ly. Barton Abell, of St. Louis, testified that the President spoke there under earnest solici? tation; several others testified, but nothing new was elicited. Frederick W. Senard testi? fied retarding the routine appointing certain officers. More documentary evidence regarding removals were presented and admitted. Secre? tary Welles of the Navy, was called, and stated that he was appointed in 1861 by Mr. Lincoln. His son reported that he had been to a party, where orders from Emory were received for all officers to repair to headquarters. Secretary Welles directed his son to inform the Presi? dent, but the next day did so himself. The question-"what passed between you and the President ?" was objected to, but Chase decided to hear the answer. The President said that he did not know what Emory meant, but ^ would send for bim at the Cabinet some day. The President mentioned Stanton's removal and Thomas' appointment, and that Stanton iad yielded, only requiring time to remove his papers. A long argument ensued on the ad? missibility of this evidence. Chase decided that the evidence was admissible, and an ap? peal being taken he was sustained by a vote of 26 to 23. The next day (the 22d) witness saw the nom? ination of Mr. Ewing to the War Office in the hands of the President. The defence asked a question in regard to the Cabinet discussion on the Tenure-of-office bill, intending to prove that the Cabinet were unanimously opposed to it as an unconstitutional enactment; also that Seward and Stanton were assigned the duty of preparing thc veto message. This was objected to, and pending argu? ments on its admissibility by Butler and Evarts the corni, adjoiuned. This evidence is regarded as very important in view of the sources of information from which the President derived bis idea of dury under the constitution and laws io the country and himself, and as fixinpr to a great extent the criminality or virtue of the President's actions. Conklin voted on tho liberal side to-day, tor the first time on any important issue. Thc re? sult of the trial gru.vs moro doubtful daily. The Pacific Railroad has been completed to the Rocky Mountains, aud to-day the track was laid on the summit at an altitude of 8212 eet above the level of the sea. Affairs in Virginia. GENERAL SCHOFIELD ADDEESSE8 THE VTBGENIA CONTEN TIO X-HE OBJECTS TO THE TE3T OATH. RICHMOND. April 17,-Geceral Scofield visited and addressed the Convention this morning. He said the iron-clad oath of office in the con? stitution wau extremely objectionable. He had administered the Reconstruction laws in the State for more thaii a year, and tho result of his experience was that it would be practically impossible to carry on the government of Vir? ginia on such a basis. In appjinting registry officers he said he had found one, peihaps two capable pensons in the county who could take the oath; and yet there were thirty-five civil offices to be filled in that county. In his opinion the oath would bo fatal to the consti- ' tution. In other respects the constitution was neither better ncr worse than those of other States. Much, however, depended on the men first elected to carry it out, and that oath re? stricted the range necessary for the selection of the best men. As a party measure it would be fatal. Great applause followed the address, and after Generai Schofield .left the hall a heated debate commenced in an effort to reconsider the vote adopting the oath. LATEB.-In tho Convention, Mr. Hine ex? plained that under the new constitution there are only seven officers in a county who have to take the oalh. The Convention refused, by a vote of twenty-six to thirty-two, to suspend the rules for the purpose of considering a modifi? cation of the oath. It will adjourn sine die about midnight. Lively Times in tho Mississippi Recon? struction Convention. JACKSON, April 17.-An ordinance passed its second reading to-day, providing that no per? son shall be eligible to any office of profit or trust, civil or military, who as a member of the Legislature voted for the call of the Conven? tion that passed the Ordinance of Secession, or who voted for any ordinance of secession, or who gave voluntary aid, counsel or encour? agement to any person engaged in armed hos? tility to the United States, or who held any of? fice under the Confederate States; excepting Buch persons as have aided reconstruction by voting for this Convention. Bnt the Legisla? ture, by a two-third vote, may remove such disability. Pending the motion to reconsider, Mr. Townsend claimed that the yeas and nays had been called for. The President denied it, whereupon Townsend accused him of false? hood. Townsend was called to order by a col? ored delegate, who moved that he be censured. Townsend replied that he did not care for the censure of the Convention, and intimated that there were no gentlemen on the Radical side of the house. Barry, author of the ordinance, replied that if they should guage their status by that of Townsend, he was correct. Town? send retired from the hall, inviting Barry to follow, which he decliued to do. After the ad? journment, Townsend denounced Barry, but no collision occurred. Townsend then assault? ed Morgan, of Yazco, but the crowd interfered. He afterwards assaulted Eggleaton, the Presi? dent of the Convention. After a brief but se? vere struggle, they wore separated, both being on the ground, Townsend uppermost. The military were called out, but tho crowd dis? persed before they reached the scene. Town? send is a Conservative, and was a Federal officer. All of the Conservatives and some of the Bepublicans have withdrawn from the Con? vention._ The Great Kala Storm. RICHMOND, April 17.-The storm yesterday washed away a bridge on the York River Rail? road. Three cars were thrown down an em? bankment. Nobody hurt. The road is in run? ning order to-day.

The Ahheville Banner says : There was a large and enthusiastic meeting at Cokesburv last Saturday-whites and blacks-the best feeling prevailed. General McGowan, Mr. F. A. Connor and Col. S. B. Jones made speeches. A mee?iug was held at Ninety Six on the s ame day. The citizens of Lowndesvillc and vicinity also held a meeting on Saturday. Eloquent speech? es were made by Hon. T. C. Perrin and Col. D. W. Aiken. Tho intelligent whites have done and are do? ing their whole duty to tho colored people, striving, in a spirit of kindness, to show them their true interest, and to prevent antagonism between tho races. Tho first dav's voting at Abbeville Court? house resulted as follows: During thc day 478 votes were deposited, as follows: Number of whites, 40; uumbcr of blacks, 438; against constitution, 44; for constitution, 433. ANDERSON. The Intelligencer says: Up to the hour of going to press (Tnesdav). the election has passed off quietly. About 300 yo tea were polled at this place, tho newly en? franchised citizens having the majority, and with few exceptions they adhered strictly to the League party. Tho tickets are printed in blue ink, with a portrait of the Americin eagle at tho head and underneath two hands joining; emblematic of the fraternal good feelmg pre? vailing in that party, we presume. The name of Nathan McAllister is printed on the ticket as Senator from "Anderson County," notwith? standing the declaration made last week that another nomination would not be made. BICHLAND.

STARTLING EE VEXATIONS REGARDING THE PLOTS OF THE RADICALS-OUR REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT TO BE SUPERSEDED BY A DICTA? TORSHIP-THE EXECUTIVE AND THE SUPREME COURT TO BE ABOLISHED-THE TERMS OF OFFICE OF GRANT AND THE SENATORS TO BE EXTENDED TO TEN TEARS-GEANT, THE SENATE AND THE NATIONAL BANKS TO RULE THE NATION. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald writes, under date of the 14th inst : Events have occured here within the past two or three days which render it certain that the ultimate object of the men who are DOW s tri ving to control the Republican party in Con? gress is to affect ?u entire change incur re? publican form of government, and to substi? tute in its place a dictatorship more absolute and arbitrary than that of Robespierre and the Commune de Paris. The apparent triumph of the impeachers ou Saturday last, when the Senate, after gi vi np the broadest license to the managers in regard to the admission ot evi? dence against President Johnson, refused to the latter the privilege of examining General Sherman on points vital to the defence, im? parted such confidence to the radical conspira? tors as to tempt them to cast aside all caution and to boast openly of their power and of thc manner in which they aro resolved to exercise it. In the barrooms and over the dinner tables principles were avowed which, under other governments, would speedily consign their oxponents to a felon's cell. The objects of the revolutionists were declared to be the entire overthrow of constitutional republican government, as a failure, proved to be such by the wax of the rebellion, and the substitution in its place of a so-called "Government of the People," under the delusive Jacobin cry of "Liberty and Equality." The means and *p; o cess by which this end is to he accomplished are set forth os follows : The conviction and removal of Andrew John? son, and the installation of Ben Y-"ade in tho Presidency for three or four moDths before the commencement of the next Presideutial term. Tho election of Grant as President and Ben Wade as vice-President and President of the Senate, by the aid of martial law in doubtful States, if necessary. The virtual abolition of the Supreme Court of tho United States, by stripping the judiciary of the power to pass lipon tbe constitutionali? ty of any net of Congress relating to ri con? struction* or to the busioess of the govern? ment. The extension of the term of office of the President, Grant, the vice-President, Wade, and the present United States Senate, to ten years trom the 1st of March, 18G9, on the plea that a constantly recurring change in tho gov? ernment is harmful in the existing condition of the country, and was one of the main causes of the late wai- of thc rebellion. Tho unlimited inflation of the currency, through the instrumentality of the national banks, so as to throw upon the country an enormous amount of paper money, by means of which the people are to bo kept in a state of excitement and good humor, and to be amused and mado satisfied with an apparent pros? perity. This is tho end and aim of the Radical con? spiracy, to which impeachment is only one of the preliminary steps. The dictatorship of Grant will be nominal only, and the real power will bo in the Senate, with Bon Wade at its head. Tho appointments made by him during his brief term of power will bo carefully select? ed from tho tools of the conspirators, and tho patronage and influence of the office holders will stand at the back of the revolutionary commune. Grant will not have the power, if he had the disposition, to change a single fea- . ture in the programme-a single creature in the action of the drama-for tbe Senate will hold him in a vice stronger than that they have prepared for Andrew Johnson. With the lat? ter out of the Presidential office, no voice will be raised in vetoes to expose the true character of Radical legislation, and acts will be passed which will strike down what little of protection yet remains to the people in the barriers of the constitution. With a ,)a per currency flooding* the country specula? tion will run wild, stocks of ah kinds will rise, railroad schemes, land schemes and all thc wildest projects that ingenuity can devise will fiud ready votarios, and in the" general fire and smoke of the great revolution the Radical dieta torsbip will be made perpetual. The united power of Grant, the Senate and the national banks is relied upon to crush out all opp?, sitien and to enforce a reign of terror to which the experience of 18C2 and 1863 will he but a triff;. The conspirators cite the case of Louis Napo? leon in support of their argument that bold? ness ODIV is required to turn into an absolut? ism a rule commenced under the guise ot re? publican liberty. The immediate admission of tho Southern I States, with their negro constituencies an? ne? gro representatives, will follow the first suc? cessful steps of the conspiracy, and'then the vote of New York in the House'of Representa? tives will be nullified by that of South Carolina. The real object of the Radical conspirators is no longer a secret. Men may shuttheir eye* to the truth, but the revolution will not go back? wards, and its last acts, which are here fore? shadowed, will comeas surely as military rule, nogro supremacy, the usurpation of thc- con? stitutional powers of the Executive, th? de? struction of the Supreme Court, and finally, the impeachment of the President of the United States, have one after another followed the close of the war of the rebellion. -Pears are said to be successfully shipped from California lo Now York by way of the Isthmus of Panama.

JOHN MITCHEL'S VIEWS ON THE GLADSTONE MOVEMENT-HE DENOCNCTS H A3 A DELUSION ANT) A SHAM. In the last number of his paper, tho New York "Irish Citizen," John >?itchel has an able and vigorous article on tho Irish Church question, now creating so great a commotion in England. He has evidently no faith in the sincerity of tho English Liberals. After notic? ing the points of the movement, ho savs: Well, thero is nothing new in all this. It is Just the old story-an Irish question made th s agency and opportunity of a trial of strength between English parties. Lord .Macaulay, when he was in opposition (like Gladstone now), said, in a debate in Parliament on this same eternal topic, that tho Irish Established Church "was the most absurd and indefensi? ble anomaly in thc wholo civilized world." Tho samo Macaulay waa afterwards in office tor many a year, and never Oven said ono word about tho anomaly. This kind of party ma? nouvre has teen "quite uniform ever since the Union; inc dishonest motives ot' it have been alwavs apparent; vet it seems to answer still. We ropcat that there is nothing new in the present case. Disaffection in Ireand is no new thing; and it has often been so alarming, or represented as alarming, by "Liberals" out of place, that they got into place on tho credit of knowing How best io deal with it. "A cloud in tho West is nothini; new. Sir Robert Peel Baw ono brooding over Oregon, and sent forthwith "a message" of peace" to Ireland; which message was a false and treacherous mee.-age. But observe, further, that the Irish people, and those who truly represent the Irish poople, are not asking for parliamentary interference with the Established Church. That establishment, evil and odious as it may be, is tho means of keeping nearly one million sterling in Ireland, which would otherwise be spent, for most part, in England. Whole the present relations of landlord and tenant subsist, thc disendowmont of that church would absolutely be no gain, but a loss to the people. If tithe rent charges were abolished and the tenant were relieved of that claim for the church, then the landlord could, and of course would, add so much, or a little more, to his rent, and he would spend it in England. If tho church lands were vested in the govomment (aa Mr. Gladstone proposes) for revenue purposes, their rents and profits would go to England too; so that tho abseutee rental of Ireland, which is now Ave millions sterling, would at once become almost six mil? lions. And it is the absentee rent that drains the very life-blood out of Ireland and withers her heart. No, Ireland ls not asking Parliament to abolish her established church. Once her own mistress, she will know how to deal with that. And Mr. Disraeli was very right when he said that this proposed measure "would not make ono Fenian the less." Certainly not; but several hundreds of thousands more. It would not be only tho Protestant clergy, but also the landed gentry and aristocracy that we should then see amongst the disaffected Irish; for the church, with its revenues, is truly the apanage of that Irish aristocracy and gentry who own the presentation fi ita livings, and are thus enabled to provide handsomely for younger sons. It is the pay of England's garrison in Ireland; and if she abolishes their pay, they will no longer hold tho island for her. In short, the disendowment of that church-if any Eng? lish minister, were insane enough to proposo such a thing-would at once raise up again the 8piritof'82. "Not one Feniau the less !" No, ?tut a hundred thousand volunteers the more 1 Therefore, there will be no serious, no real interference with the Irish Church in the English* Parliament; neither by Whig nor by Tory; rfeither under the auspices of a Disraeli, nor uVder those of a Gladstone. Whatever is ostensibly done, or attempted in that direc? tion, may be set down beforehand as a fraud, a delusion, or what O'Connell called a "mouth? ful of moonshine." Tho old abomination of a church must stand, until a revolution pulls it down, and then much more will have to come down along with it. Of course, we do not deny that it would bo a great blessing to Ireland if the Established Church wore abolished, and if tho franchise were reduced to an equality with thc English franchiso, aud if the "Convention Act" were repealed, and if the "Arms Acts" were annul? led, and if thc packing of Castle juries woe dis? continued; a great and choice blessing indeed I Because those changes in the law would place it at onco in the power of the Irish people to overthrow British dominion aud the British Empire altogether. That is to say, the aboli? tion of thc Established Church would throw the Protestants into tho arms of their follow countrymen; tho capacity to meet in conven? tion and to carry arms would at once produco another Dungannon Convention anotfier dec? laration of independence, and another and hot? ter volunteer army to make good said declara? tion; while if juries were once impartially em? panelled, according to law, no prisoner what? soever would over bo convicted again in Ire? land of any offence against a Queen of Eng? land; so all the world would seo and acknowl? edge that English law does not govern that island. But prccisclv because these just measures would enable Leland to set herself freo, th. so just measures never will ho thought of in a London Parliament. Those liberties, and some? thing more, must amie of a root-and-branch revolution by force of anus. SPECULATIONS AS TO TUE RESULT OF THE TRIAL THE DILEMMA OF THE RADICAL SENATORS. Tho Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, writes under date of the 13th instant : The disposition shown b? thc Senate to con? fine thc testimony on the port of the defence to what in its judgment relates directly to the impeachable offences of winch the President stands charged, has had the eilcrt of raising the curiosity of the public in the result of the triai to the highest pitch. "Will the President be convicted?" has now become common as the usual interrogatory ol greeting, "Well, what's tho news?" The speculations in re spouse to this question arc as diverse and op? posite as thc views of a multitude could well make them. A prominent official to-day gave it as his opinion that the action of the Senate in decid? ing tho guilt or innocence of the President would not depend upon thc law or evidence in the case, but was a question of political neces? sity; that two adverse hues of policy in tho ad miuistratiou of the government have sprung up iu relation to tho reconstruction ot the Southern States. As a party nieasuro the ac? quittal of the President would be equivalent to the Radical or Congressional faction surrender? ing to tin. President's or the Conservative theo rv. Such a determination, after all the efforts that have been made to depose the President, he admitted, would have a damaging ellect, if it did not disastrously ruin the prospects of the Radicals in the national election next fail. In the Senate it appears this species of logic has its influence. There are several senators who have declared their intent iou to vote when the final issue arrives asia their judgment jus? tice demands in vi?w of the law and evidence as elicited in tho testimony and tbe final argu? ment. Those who take the opposite view and are ready to vote guilty, right or wrong, are kecpiug a regular watch ti pou the movements of those who arc counted unreliable, and lose no occasion to impress them with the necessi? ty or harmony of action. The timid, as they are termed, are. meanwhile, busy antone, them? selves canvasehig upon the strongest assur? ances who can be counted upon to take the bold step of voting against their party. It is known that this opposition movement on the part of such senators will be governed in al? most every case by tue most satisfactory pros? pects of a'success. It is admitted any Radical voting against eonvi tion will be eternally out? lawed by his pnrty. Success, however, ii ac? quitting" thc President will, it is argued, mate? rially mollify thc storm of denunciation which will "be heaped apon the heads of those who dare to act irrespective ol' pirtv opinions. If it is found, it is further asserted, that the requisite number cannot be relied upon to make up the one-third, with one majority, for in? stance, in order to insure an r.c?jmttal, thoso who may feel disposed to act in accordance with justice will prefer to Keep m proper rela? tions with their party and vote with the Radi? cals. This view of the solution ot' the problem, and which is daily gaining ground, seems tobe now accepted as a source of universal satisfac? tion. On this propos i tion persons on either side in polities appear to bo content to await the result, and appropriate ii as giving the greatest encouragement ot success as they may construe thc linai vote. Impeachment Gossip. Fri glu ful Seine in Church. THE CBOWD PANIC-STEICEEN-THREE W01TEN KILLED AND MANY CCJCBED. That an intense alar ai was occasioned in St. Mary's Catholic Church, Chicago, on Good Friday evening, result! n g in a general rush and the death of three persons, has already boen announced in our dispatches. The Tribune, of Saturday, gives tho fe Ilowing details: All were listeninsr ^rith reverential silence. The lenebrae were be jig Bung on this tue last day. The officiating priests were saying the third nocturn, when suddenly, from some al? most inexplicable CIUE e, a panic seized hold of the entire congregation. Whether it originated in a tailing abutme it, a breaking seat, or a ccy^df liro, is not absolutely certain, but it is too sadly true that all, with one impulse, sprr.ng irom their seats in tho gallery, and in the body of r%o church, and mide one frantic, desper? ate rush for the door. THE S rAMPEDE. They sprung from tiie narrow and inconveni? ent pews and rushed tlong the crowded aisles, forgetful of all, animated onlv by the blind de? sire for self-preservation, and poured out into the vestibule. Those who were in the galle? ries, nearly all timid and nervous women, fled down the sharp, pitched stair*, which led directly into the vestibule, and not into the body of tho church, ar d thus added to the con? fusion that was airea dy prevailing there. To preserve quiet the doer's of the church, which open inward, had bein closed. Against them the crowd threw itself' seeking safety, and yet so blind as not to see that it could not be pos? sibly obtained in that ?ray. For a few moments everything was blind and terrible contusion. Tho people in the vestibule were pressed till many of them were nearly suffocated, while somo bad fallen, or had been pushed down the gallery stairs and trampled to death beneath the feet of those who - ame after them. There wore shrieks and erie i and stilled groans, and agonizing appeals for aid. The aid finally came, though too lat e for some. The crowd recovered from the al inn and passed out into the street. Several minutes passed, however, before sufficient order was restored to allow of any attention being pi,id to the victims. STREET SCENES. 8ome of the women, as they emerged from the structure, ran frantically "from the 6cene, and in their blind hm ry rushed wildly against each other, and over tine another, and in a few moments Wabash aveaue and tho intersecting streetd in that neighborhood presented a scene of hurry, and confution and panic, that com? pletely beggars desciiption. Some would cry, "Oh, my head ia bro ie;" others, "I can't see, I've lost my eves;" others, exhausted and breathless, would breiik down in the middle of the streets, and under the impression that their last moment had arrived, would lie pros? trate, and frequently seem insensible, until some person by picking them up, and with words of encouragement reassured them they were more scared than hurt. Others had no sooner reached thu outside of the enclosure which serves as a protection to the front en? trance, than they tell on their knees, and as the tide of humanity came upon them, they were actually forced along the s'reec in that position. But the greater the pressure the louder grew tho prayers, for which the attitude had been assumed, and now and then a wail would be heard so agonizing and startling that it chided the blood of all about, and even strong men would shut their ears to the terrible sound, and involuntarily exclaim, ' On, it is terrible, terrible." ind still the almost ex haustlese stream of human beings continued to pour out of the narrow entrances of the structure. Now and then there waa a com? plete block, and strong arms on the outside would take hold of the nearest arm, or per? chance clasp tba bod}', and pull with desperate strength to effect an opening, and then, as body was pressed against body so close as if under tho pressure of a vice, fearful cries would rsnd tho air, and next a dozen forms would bo hurled proa trato on tho ground, but saiely on the outside. Perhaps in another mo moat this scene would be repeated, there would be another fearful struggle to effect a a passage, and tue terrible scene was protract? ed to nearly half au Lour. BE3I0VTNQ THE !>EAD AND WOUNDED. Tho polico officers in the neighborhood were prompt to render as? istance, aud finally, when tho greater portion o '. tho inmates had effected their escape, thoy entered the structure to ren? der such assistance to tho wounded and maim? ed as lay in their power. Some of the least severely injured were immediately taken home, and in the confusion their names could not be ascertained, but thc dead, aud tho?e among the wounded who hud friends at hand, were conveyed into the co i veut adjoining. The Girl of thc Period. A SAVAGE ONSLAEOHI UPON THE "FAST YOUNO LADIES ' OF OUB DAY. [From tho London Saturday Review.] Time was when the stereotyped phrase, "a fair young English girl,'' meant tue ideal of womanhood, to us, s t least, of home birth and breeding. It mean ; a creature generous, ca? pable and modest; sometbiug franker thnn a French woman, moro to be trusted thau an Italian, aa bravo as an Americau, but moro re? lined, as domestic as a German and moro graceful, lt meant a girl who could be trust? ed alone if need bo. because of the innate pu? rity and dignity ol her nature, but who waa neither bold in bearing nor masculine m mind; a girl who, when abo married, would bo her husband's friend aud companion, but never his rival; one who would consider their in? terests aa identical, and not hold him as just so much fair game tor spoil; who would make his house his true home and place of rest, not a mere passage place for vanity and ostentation to go through; a tender mother, an industrious houiekeipor, a judicious mis? tress. We prided ourselves a? a nation on our women. Wo thought we had the pick of all creation in .his fair young Enzliah girl of ours, aud envied, no other men their own. We admired the languid grace and subtle fire ot the south; thc c.ucility and childlike affec tionatencsa of the east seemed to us sweet and simple and restful; tho vivacious sparkle of the trim and sprightly Parisienne was a pleasant little excitement waeu we met with it in its own domain; but o u- allegiance never wander? ed from our brown-haired girls at home, and our hearts were lea J vagrant than our fancies. Tbis was in the o d time, and when English girls were content to be wuat God and nature had made them. Of late years we have changed the pattern, and have given to the world a race of women as utterly unlike the old insular ideal as if wc had created another na? tion altogether. Tbe girl of t!ie period and the fan- young girl of the pase have nothing in common save ancestry and their mother tongue; and even ct tbis last the modern ver? sion makes almost a new language, through thc copions additions it has received from the current slang of the day. The girl ol iu>.' period is a creature who dyes her hair and paints her cheeks, as the first articles ol h<;r personal religion; whose sole idea of life is plenty of fuu and luxury; and whose drees is tbe object of such thought aud intellect as she possesses. Her main en? deavor in this is to outvie her neighbors in the extravagance of fashion, yo matter whether, as iu time of crinoline, abe sacrificed decency, o?', as now. in the Mine of trains, sue sacrifices cleanliness; no mutter, either, vhether she makes herself a nuisance aud an inconvenience to every one abe meets Tue girl of. the pe? riod has done away with such moral muffish neas as consideration tat others, or regari for counsel and rebute. It waa all very weil in old fashioned times, when luthers and mothers had some authority, a;id were Cleated with respect, to be tutored au'd made to obey, but sue is far too fast ant. nourishing to" bc stopped in mid-career by these slow old morals; and, as she dre.*s?s to please herself, she i:oes not care if she displeases every one else. Noth? ing is too exaggerated for ber vitiated taste ; and things which iu themselves would be use fa] reforms ii let alone, become montrosities worse than those which they nave displaced sn r.oon as sue begins to manipulate and im? prove. If a ueLsible fashion lifts the gown out of the mud, eh;- raises hers midway to the knee. Il the absurd structure of a wu-e and buckram, once called a bonnet, is modified to something that shall protect the wearer's face without putting out the eyes Ot her companion, she cuts hers dowu to foi r straws and a rosebud, or a tag of lace and :i bunch ol glass beads, lt there ?B a reaction against au excess of low? land's Macassar, ana hair Bhiny and sticky with grease is thought less nice than "if ielt clean and healthy'and crisp, she dries and frizzes and sticks hers out on end like certain savages in Africa, or leta it wander down her back like Madge Wildfire's, and thinks herself all the more beautiful the nearer she approaches in look like to a maniac or negress. With purity of taste she has lost also that far more precious parity and delicacy of perception which sometimes mean more than appears on the surface. What tbe demi? monde does in its frantic efforts to excite at? tention, she also does in imitation. If some fashionable d?vergond?e ?i evidence is reported to have come out with her dress below ber shoulder-blades, and a good strap for all the sleeve thought necessary, the girl of the period follows suit next day, and then wonders that men sometimes mistake her for her prototype, or that mothers of girls not quito so far gone as herself refuse her as a companion for their daughters. She has blunted the fine edge of feeling so much that she cannot understand why sin, should be condemned for an imitation of form which does not include imitation of fact; she cannot be made to see that modesty of appearance and virtue ought to be insepa? rable, and that no good girl can afford to ap? pear bad, under penalty of receiving the con? tempt awarded to tho bad. This imitation of tho demi-monde in dress leads to something in manner and feeling, not quite so pronounced, perhaps, but far too like to be honorable to herself or satisfactory to her friends. It leads to slang, bold talk, and fastness; to the love of pleasure and indiffer ence to duty; to the desire of money before either love or happiness; to uselessness at home, dissatis tactio a with the monotony of or? dinary bte, and the honor of all useful work; in a word, to the worst form of luxury and selfishness, to the most fatal effects arising from want of high principle and absence of tender feeling. The girl of the period envies the queens of the demi-monde far more than she abhors them. She sees them gorgeously attired and sumptuously appointed, and she knows them to be flattered, feted, and courted with a certain disdainful admiration of which she catches only the admiration while she ig? nores the disdain. They have all for which her soul is hungering, and she never stops to reflect at what a price they have bought their gains, and what fearful moral penalties they pay for their sensuous pleasures. She sees only the coarse gilding on the base token, and shuta her eyes to the hide? ous figure in the midst, and the foul legend wi itt en round the edge. It is this envy of the pleasures, and indifference to the sins of these women of the demimonde which ia doing such infinite mischief to the modern girl. They brush too closely by each other, if not in actual deeds, yet in aims and feelings; for the luxury which is bought by vice with the one is the thing of all in life most passionately desired by the other, though she ni not yet prepared to pay quite the same pnce. Unfortunately, she h aa already paid too much-all that once gave her distinctive national character. No one can say of the modern English girl that she is tender, loving, retiring, or domestic. The old fault so often found by keen sighted French women, that she was so fatally romanesque, so prone to sacri? fice appearances and social advantages for love, will never be set down to the girl of the period, Love indeed is the last thing she thinks of, and the least of the dangers besetting ber. Love in a cottage, that seductive dream which used to vex the heart and disturb the calcula? tion of prudent mothers, is now a myth of past ageB. The legal barter of herself for BO much money, representing so much dash, so much luxury ma pleasure-that is her idea of mar? riage; tv only idea worth entertaining. For all seriousness of thought respecting the du? ties or the consequences of marriage, she has not a trace. Ii children come, they find but a stepmother's cold welcome from uer; and if her husband thinks that he has married any? thing that is to belong to him-a tacens et pla? ?ais uxor pledged to make him happy-the sooner he wakes from his hallucination and understands that be has simply married some one who will condescend to spend his money on herself, and who will shelter her indiscre? tion behind the shield of his name, the less severe will be his disappointment. She has married his house, his carriage, his balance at the banker's, his title; and ho himself is just the inevitable condition clogging the -whey of her fortune, at best au adjunct to be tolerated with. :.'BADE MATTEBS TS NEW YOEE.-The Now Ycrk correspondent of the Philadelphia Led? ger, writing on the 18th irst., says: General trade is slow. The feverish condi? tion of thc monev market, the exciting rumors that are constantly set afloat by panic-mongers, and the nneasiness which exists, more or less, as to the political future, all have a damaging I influence. The dry goods dealers say the transactions for the past week have been on a very limited I sccle, compared with the early part of the sea? son. This, as regards domestics. Prints are active, the sales large and prices firm, not? withstanding sales are making at Chicago at one cent pei yard under New York quotations. Woolens, too, are brisk, and prices are looking up. Foreign goods are quiet. The market is well stocked, and prices generally are without variation. Bcots and shoes arc active, with some heavy orders coming in from the South. The hard? ware dealers are a little busier than they were, still the business, thus far this season, has been far from satisfactory.
