FASIONss BY A ".FIRs-r" IAND.-The
fashions inl milinery and dress making
present smnj of the usuial f'entures. Fin
gers are very nitich worn; ntearilv t
the bone-skirts and accoits are still
very long, while bod'es, particularly
those that think teIinselves some
budiCS, are excessively Iow, with a
gr 1 . ,f stifihess and a ttut:.ntity of
boivi itout tle I at where ti: heart is
likely to come, it there happenis to be
any. In evening dress the petticoat is
usually very Full and the pocket of
tenl very empty. Thel materiad of
the bosom is frequently glace, and
covered with transparent issues of'
imitation stuff; which may bte seen
through easily. Flowers are not,
aninch w'vorn this seasont inl the hair, bit
the cheeks are got up as usual with
artificial roses.

A Beautiful FowVerI.

Enlivened and made fragrant on Fri
day night last, by the odor, and ap
pearance of thiat most elegant of IlI th.
Cactus spcnigs, thn. vight-bloomr)in7
Cereus (Canc.s gra&'T.'!oras), which
was sent fl% by onr good neighbor Mrs.
F. J. MosEs. The beauty of this plant
belongs peculiarly to the night, the
blossoms begin expanding 'soon after
Still-set, and close before rioning light,
never -ngain to opens. rt was some
time before we could make up our
mind to withdraw from the conernpla
Lion ofthe delicate and exqisite pro
portions of this rare flower, knowing
that to-mlorrow would find it closed
fbrever to our oyes. Wonderif soie
rfour Yankee brethren could not in
vent a machine for making it bloom
in sun light'twould be decidedly pre
ferable we think.

that the Convention paF.sed resolutions
in favor of a Lailrand to the Pa

rant land -for its construction, as also
in favor of deepening the chutnel at
ite mouth of the Mississippi, and
iproving the harbors of Charleston,
Savann.h, Mobile anu Richmond. A
