BT ALICK CARY, [Vho movement for woman's rights bore fruit in Now York last week in a public dinner of the members of tho press, to which a num? ber of ladies, distinguished in tho literature of N the day, wore invited on an equal footing with tho gentlemon, paying their subscription to the entertainment and participating in the sen? timents and speech-making. Miss Alice Cary, the poetess, replied to a toast as follows :] Yon know, ray friends, through whoso good graces We mt ct around this board to-day; ' It has boen said that mau embraces Women; but, with your leave, I say, * This rather bolds in special cases .-^ Than iu a general way. - * ' tj*> Wo women have been coaxed and vaunted, Fawned on and flattered every way; Bat the high-honored place wc Wanted ls ours in se ber truth to-day; For with the equal seat is granted The equal right to pay I Tard?n the mention of the shilling lYou see 'twas thrown so tn my way,) .

We have already given our fair readers the tPOBt striking features of the spring fashions in bonnets and hats. Wo now add some notes ' (from a high authority) as to other details of the new styles: STREET URBB8ES Are looped up behind direotly in the centre, with large handsome bows, which are some? times the only trimming on the skirt. Belted mantles with pointB behind under the belt, or - round and loose, looped with t wo folds on the shoulder, nj? seen ou most of the dr&Baca. Of the basque fichus mention hus already been made. Beside these, small pointed basques, much trimmed on the back aud skirt, and with square lappets in front, are worn. A rich di ces of black satin-faced gros-grain has a seven inob flounce bound on both edges with satin laid in triple plaits, with Bcollopod edgeB, and a wide space between each group of pleats, set with a large rosette of silk and satin mixed. This flounce is headed by a ruche of satin ribbon ed?ed with lace, curving above the rosettes, straight; over the plaits. The belted mantle is ruohed with satin and guipure with fan how of satin and long ends at the back. Tabs of the mantle are rounded in front and is entirely edged with Saillinsr of satin and guipure lace.

A stone colored silk poplin has a bias flounce bound with satin in reversed plaits. The cen? tre of each plait was caught down on the out? side. The upper dress bas an apron front with rounded point. The side widths were out . np and looped with two small plaits and a satin rosette. The back is pointed-the trim? ming a three inch plaiting bound with satin of the aame shade, laid in small box plaits with a woven silk cord through the centre. This edges the entire upper shirt. The apron trim? ming extends up the side seams over the shoulders, forming a point on the back, under tbs belt, which is of straight poplin bound on both edges with satin, with large dahlia ro? sette in baok aud a smaller one in front. The plaiting on the skirt is finished with a tassel fringe, with fine netted cord heading. The waist ia fastened with double silk buttons or cord loops. The sleeves are trimmed with plaiting and fringe around the wrist and up the outer seam a few inches. Price $95. CHILDREN'S DRESSES. Children wear gabrielle dresses of cashmere for spring, with overdresses of poplin. The skirts are very narrow, reaching below the knee, and the lower one, unless of striped goods, is al.vays ruffled. A scarlet cashmere - 'Slip has two raffles, out straightway of the ma? terial, and hemmed by the sewing machine in? stead of being bound, set OD with very shallow Bleats. The upper dress is French gray pop n gored, with low and square neck, and shoulder-straps; the apron front ia pointed, the . skirt edged with two centre tolda of satin and a fringe of the same color; satin trimming , over the shoulder, forming a little cape behind; belt and rosette o satin. A gabrielle of blue cashmere is bordered with o/al puffing j of straight cashmore, edged with black ana wbi'e gimp, and a ruche of nar? row blue silk galoon; the upper dress is gray velour, gored, with a plait laid on eaoh mp, the skirt curved to be longest on the sides; the trimming is two rows of blue galoon niching, headed by black and white braid; the apron trimmed with throe rows, two of which trim the waist. Braces of trimming begin at the back of the shoulders and pass below the belt in sash ends; fancy belt and wrist trimming of galoon. Marseilles or pique dresses (there is no dif? ference between the two) are made of fine corded or diamond pattern, gabrielle shade. One model bas two straight ruffles of pique on the skirt, headed with serpentine braid and a border of embroidery braid in a Greek curve. A scolloped upper skirt ia imitated by another ruffle and braid; a : round cape, raised in the back, is outlined by a ruffle on the shoulders; the sleeve has two ruffles, the sash has round ruffled oudd with a rosette of braid loops iu the centre. SHAWLS FOB 8PBINO Are white with ohene bands in light gray dashed with stripes of vivid color. They are of soft, twilled wool. Tartan stripes in all colors are also selected for travelling shawls; they are $6 each. Light shawls of cashmere and silk, with borders of blue and gray, or soarlet and gray, are worn for carriage wraps. But tho fashionable wrapping for cool morn . logs will be the burnous scarf of striped cash? mere cloth; a different article, by the way, from cashmore itself. This cloth comes on Eur pose for these scarfs, in two-inch stripes of lue, scarlet, or tartan, with wider spaces of white between, edged with a black line; it id six-quarters wide; price $5 a yard; and three ?uarters divided lengthwise makes a scarf, his is straight, about three-quarters of a yard wide, with an Arab fold in the back, fring? ed, and the right end, sometimes made longer for this purpose, thrown over the left shoulder in picturesque drapery. Hearts of white bas? ket-cloth, soft as zephyr wool, fringed with an? gola, are worn for opera doaks, and are the prettiest possible articles for that purpose. Price $15. A single shawl of soft plaid or stripe may be out in two, the ends folded for a hood. sud worn in this manner, making a grace ful garment of what would be a very ordinary mop. Soft plaid shawls for this parp?se may bo had for $3 50. THE KEW DRESS TBIHMINOS For the most part are entirely different from anything in use lately. The braid embroidery for pique dressss is formed of a solid square cotton braid, much firmer and finer than the pearl-edged gimp used last spring. Pique braids half an inoh wide, flat, with raised figure on blue, pink or amber ground, are tbe fashion, mingled in the patterns with pure white braid. Handsome crochet cotton trimmings, like heavy tatting, are new for piques and cambrics. Figures of cotton gimp sell for $160 a dozen. In silk trimmings there are scolloped and dent? ed satin ribbons, fringes with chintz heading, corded aud gimp-edged ribbons, gimp and fern-like patterns headed with loops of braid, satin scollops with chintz figures and colored crimped fringes. Variegated fringe of purso 2ELw^ h*PdWe for the pxesjnt style. ???Li8 ?? vlnm blftck B?K ?aita with 5kTCB? andt Wedings ot bias plaid satin of good addition. Satin ruohes, silk quillings of ' every width are used on silk and poplin. Serse braid in colors is a new article.. A trash trim? ming for tarletans and tulle, that will save a great deal ox labor m preparing bill-dresses is scolloped satin ribbon with a two-inch ruch? of illusion on one edge. Plaid ribbons with fringe on one edge is showy. A trimraingfour or five inches deep is s platting of striped foulard in delicate colors, notched on the edge and fin? ished with fringe or ribbon heading. These flounces can be attached at once to the dress, saving more than half the trouble of making where much decoration is used. Thia is one of the newest importations. A ribbon trim? ming in gay colors has tufts of illusion passed through loops on tho face every three inches, making a rory fanciful garnish. Striped gros grain ribbon makes a rich trimming tor beary poplins and black HI Ik. BUBONS. The piala ribbons, which hare been tho only ones used for several years, now yield to the fancy for stripes, which shows itself in ?very fabric. A rainbow stripe in threads of ^ brilliant colors on black or white ground shows vividly on the white straw bonnets now worn. Tbe narrow even ?tiipes of color with ' black or whi',e aro leas admired; a not* rainbow has thick cords of gold color or white on black ground; plaid or rainbow centres on white or dark ribbons; white ribon with satin dents of color on one1 edge; striped gros grain with half inch cut fringe oo ono border: high colored ribbons, embroidered with gothic designs or straw, and Roman ribbons in bars of rich color, comprise all the new style?. The fasbiena ->le trimming ribbon is about three inches wide, of soft gros grain, at ono dollar a yard. A novelty of tho year is the uso of narrow chintz ribbons for tho hair. These are im? ported in various designs expressly for this purpose. Pompadour patterns on black or white ground, and gold or silver on colors aro tho choice. Four yards aro required to train the hair, for the ribbon passes once over the forehead, and again over the head, beside twice rouod tbo chignon, and falls in long loops from the latter. VEILS. The mask veil is still the shape preferred; silk ones, with a wreath of flowers embroidered in natural colors, are among the spring im? portations ; but I cannot think them in fine taste. In millinery materials the granite tulle is a novelty ; it is sprinkled with dots of em? broidery precisely like tho frosted malinos of last season. It is seen in all colors, and is more durable than tho malinos. The pluie di amant is a tulle shot in the lines of crystal u?*s like tino rain. Striped tulle and era se will be t??ed for dress bonnets. Notted veils to draw over ha?s? soreoning the head all round, and netted soarrs throw over fauchons, by way of gamitare, m*m? ^Sff?J& tiest novelty is netted lace, WO *jgj*t firm cotton, that look exactly Uko th- nnest Leghorn cord. THE ENGLISH COTTON TMAJOE. Distress of Employers and Workmen A Strike Imminent. [From the Liverpool Post, March 9.] The future of the cotton trade in Preston grows moro gloomy every day. Partial stop? pages and total cessations from work continue to increase; in fact, tho losses upon some des? criptions of manufactures are so great as to render any other course impossible, if utter ruin is to be averted. Some Arms cling to the hope tbat a reduotion of ten or twenty per cont, in wages may euro the evil of which all complain; but in many cases a muoh larger reduction-some m say fifi y per cent, even would still leav? the business unprofitable. Last week it was agreed that notice should be given of a general reduction of ten per cent., but even with this very many firms contemplate stopping their machinery alto? gether. In the case of Mr. George Smith's mill, Moor Brook, where a reduotion of fifteen por cent, has been adopted, the union has made a determined effort lo baffle tho attempt; but, notwithstanding that effort, Mr. Smith has three hundred looms at work and moat of his spindles; and it is believed that the resistance that will be offered to the general reduction of ten per cent, will be equally futile, lt io not correct that Mr. Smith's mill has been closed, and Mr. B. G. Trel/all denies that he has offer? ed to ran full time if the operatives will accept a reduotion of ten per cent. Indoed, trade is so bad that there is no alternative but to rev duse both wages and production, and even then it will be long before Lancashire ?B againJB prosperous. The spinners and Min dei s' Association have as yet received no intimation of the action of the masters. They say that some time since, it was arranged by deputation that, before anything further was done with reference to wages-as the operatives are even now working at a reduotion of five per cent, below the standard list, and been doing so since January, 1867-deputations from tho two b jd ios should together consider the comae to be taken, and that under any circumstances, Preston should be governed by the Bast Lan? cashire list of prices. They, therefore, now complain bitterly that the masters have come to the resolution above stated without giving them the promised interview. A meeting of the co mm i tte . of the Cotton Spinners* Association is to be held this (Tuesday) evening at Pres? ton, when tile strike at Mr. Smith's mill, the contemplated reduction of ten per cent, in all branches of the trade, and the injunction of Mr. Sellers that his spinners must withdraw from the union or leave his employ, even at tho reduotion often per cent., are all to be con? sidered. Tho whole of these matters are then to bo referred t J the oouncil of the Amalgama? ted Trades, with a requisition that they will e vil a public meeting for their discussion. In consequence ot the strike at Mr. Smith's mill, the Spinners' Association have now on their books one hundred and nine heads of families refused relief by the pariBh authorities. THE CUBAIN REVOLUTION. Sad State of Affairs-Refugees-Ferocity Of tue Spanish Troops-The Shooting of Captain Lopes. The letters received from Cuba give a sad picture of the unhappy state of affairs in that island. Many outrages are committed by the Spanish troops and volunteers. Arrests are very numerous, and a widespread alarm pre? vails among the people, hundreds of whom are fleeing from the island to places of safety, many of them seeking refuge in the United States. A letter from an American in Cardenas says : The revolution is progressing, notwithstand? ing all the efforts of the Spaniards to stop it. The treasury is bankrupt, and appeals are made in tho papers "for subscriptions to sup? port the volunteers in the held, but I think all will be in vain. In a few months more the yel? low fever and cholera will find abundant food in tbe ranks of the unacchmated Peninsulars that are coming or axe already here. They axe afraid here that the insurgents will make a raid upon them and destroy the crops, though they try to put a bold face upon the matter. Hundreds are being arrested all the time. The Moro Castle is said to be full of prisoners. A letter written from Manzanillo by a native Cuban says: Affairs here are growing worse and worse every day. The insurgents are rapidly increas? ing in number and extending themselves all over the island. They have taken away the alav?s from all the estates in this neighbor? hood, and have armed all tho able-bodied ne? groes. The Captain-General granted a gene? ral amnesty for all the insurgents who would lay down their arms, but they have not taken the least notice of it. On the contrary, their hatred toward the Spanish Government teems to increase daily, and they all appear determin? ed to throw off the Spanish yoke. The City of Bayama, which was the foons of the insur? rection, waa completely destroyed on the ap? proach of the Spanish troops, and now thou? sands of families are wandering about the country homeless, and in the most deplorable state imaginable. The governmen s forces are aciing shockingly, stealing and assassinating in every direction. Here we see nothing but soldiers and Spanish volunteers, for all the Coban young men have joined the insur? gents. The following is an extract of a letter dated Oienfuogos, Cabs, March 10, written by a highly intelligent Coban lady to a friend in Philadelphia: A deep gloom hangs over oar beloved is? land. Our br >thora, men of heart and intel? lect, are daily arrested and imprisoned or ex? iled, and the'fow who remain at liberty have no alternative but to flee the country or join the insurrectionists in the interior. You can form no idea of what we suffer; and, if it were 'possi? ble, we would shut ourselves uo, refusing to see our friends, for the theme of conversation is nothing but war and its incidents, BO gra? ting to our feelings. We are wa tobad and sur? rounded by spies; for, as yon know, the largest prop rthin ot the population of this town aro natives of Spain, and they openly proclaim that they will not be satisfied uni il emigration or extermination baa swept ail the natives from the island and left them sole possessors of our idolised Cuba. No information has reached us ss to what success tbe Spanish troops have had who a few days ago went in pursuit of the insurgents. It is stated here tbat Adolph Cavada, chief of the patriot forces in this district, and also Felix Bouyon, have captured a large number ot Spaniards, soldiers andoivilians. and instead of putting them to death, as tbe Spaniards do with tho prisoners they capture, have invari? ably treated them with tbe greatest humanity. God grant, if these two men should ever fall into the power of the Spaniards, that they may receive the like treatment; but I doubt it much, for these cruel Spaniards have an unquench? able thirst for blooi. Yesterday was a day of mourning. Poor Don Joan Capote Lopes was arrested in his own bouse, a few miles from town. He was brought here, judged by a military commis? sion and shot. He died with the most heroic vu lor, exciting the greatest grief in tho hearts of his countrymen, and feelings of compas? sion among toe few Spaniards who bsve soy heart left. Be asked for an interview with bis wife and children, which was refused, and they kept bim from seven A M. io four P. M. in sn open field, exposed to the fiery rays of the sun, with his bauds so tightly bonna ss to causo them to be mach swollen, giving him great pain. As ha was entirely surrounded by troops, and it waa inpossible f ;r him to escapo, this waa wanton cruelty. The object of this cruelty was to force him to derouueo soma pcrsoiiB a? bei OK implicated in the insurrection; but thia he refused to do, and with his last breath de? nied having had anything to do with the insur? rection himself, which ia doubtless true, and bis judges know it. Cut he was sacrificed to tho clamors of the Spanish mob. At 4 P. H. this unfortunate man, with a firm voice and serene countenance, asked thoso present to forgive bim if in any way he had over given them offence, knelt as ho was ordered, hi j eyes were bandaged, and he was shot in the back, receiving nix wounds. While iu the agonies of death, the sanguinary mob of Spaniards, who came to gloat over his execution, heaped cursos on him, some threatening to drag bim through the streets, and others proposing to rub him with coal oil and set him on fire. Im? mediately after, the military band, heading tho troops, marohed around his body, playing lively airs and dances. What fiends 1 As yet the insurrectionists have put no oue to death. But can they forgive the assassina? tion of Captain Lopez and others equally in? nocent ? May they not think reprisals ncces s iry ? It is feared they will. If they do, much blood will flow, and God only knows what awaits us. You may nell imagine that all these terrible occurrences fill tho hearts of Cubans with hatrod for the Spaniards, but we are obliged to bear all in silence. The Spaniard?, no doubt, some day will have to answer for tho mun ot ons assassinations committed by them on this island, for by no other name can the execution of political prisoners be called. For my part, I cali down upon their heads the vengeance or a Just (Joel, - < , ^g-'-'-'r > ... -A movement is on foot for the formation of a now political organization in New Hampshire, to include as many as possible of the Conser? vative members of the two existing parties. The matter is now in the hand? of twenty pro? minent men, ten of them being Republicans and ten Dom ocr its. Private meetings of thoso having the thing in charge have been ht 1, but nothing can be obtained as to the pros? pects of the movement. It is said that the whole soheme will be made publio in June next. Commercial. Exports. PHILADELPHIA-Per sehr Beta-130,000 feet Lum? ber, 4 blocks Marble. eis a iles ton Cotton stud Klee Market.
