"JUswltaini. The New York and Paris Fashions for Ootober. hV fKNNIK JfNK. -N l:w York, Supt. •> New York is rapidly filling up; houses are not to bo had; desirable hoarding places are eagerly sought for, and the hotels ore alroady full to overflowing. The exeitemdnt of the political campaign agitates tho nunv; the disclosures of bonnets, waterfalls and pattiera, tho womon. It io all very pleasant and bright, howover. Tho beautiful autumn sun does not disdain to shine on tho weaknesses and follies which occupy so large n sharo of the world’s time and thought, tho wiudows are gay with new autumn goods, and the sidewalks crowde.’l with people whoso dross und manner, for tho most part, proclaim them visitors, denizens of tho East, West, or sunny South, who stop on their way lrt>m tire w-atering-placoa to make their tall purchases find aeo what may befocn at this doubtful season of wicked (iothain. There tiro sprinklings, to he snro, of natives. Mothers and families Wlnt-bavp. come homo from tho cotmiry, and are finximisTy hmking Tog (low scrVMiitH to sot thoir l.onsoliol.l goods in order, and young girls, the toi*nient of these sumo minimus, who uro so desirous of rAoeting “Fred” or “Dick” on Broad way or 00 tho avonuo, that they propiinade in euirimor suits of while .Marseilles,' linen, or pique, utterly oblivious of j mamma’s remonstrances and] her! piteous entreaties that they will not! go out until slio has got tlimji fall suits, find made them fit to lie seen. Beside, it is not fashionable to bo in town before October, and mamma, who is busy dusting, cloqtfing, taking off covers, putting up curtains,' and instructing her now cook, would willingly remain .mb rosu for a week or two before announcing by her iippoaranco abroad her readiness ■ to rocorve-faer friends 1 at heme.T"*~" Tfiogirl qFtho period is, however, .proverbially careless of every body’s Wishes but hor own. She is nbeusloincd to mamma’s complaints and Worries, and would not miss a chance fora flirtation for nil the remonstrances in the world. I wn.vr wk aid: to wicah. The stoics are full of beautiful goods, and It only requires a purse mil of .money to enable any woman to dress and look us pretty as inoxorablo imturo wiif pormlt,. For full wear plaid goods nro al-ways-first in tho fiold, but this year they seem to possess unusual claims to consideration, and, for some Teason or other, are thought unusually stylish, 'fartan cloth for fall wraps, Tartan poplin for fSltdresses, Ttrtho strictest of tho well-known clean pattorns, aro likely to he the rage. Dividing tho honors, howover, nro the plain Irish po.plius in splondid shades of coloring; striped satins usod ns petticoats to wear with black or coiofod “pompadours;” an immense variety of rich shot and changeable silks, and tho embroidored silks-and poplius, which rarely dojustico in them, made up, to their Cost in tbo labor expended upon ttom. \he decided novelties aro as yet nohXnuTnorous. There are lino qualinQß of water-proof cloth in new colors and combinations for suite; impe7M~' Sergo and Scotch winsoy for epdts and lastly, oioths in riob shades of color, gOr* net, mulberfy, olive, green, witli a surface like satin, which aro i'mpor* tod expressly for ladios’ winter suits, and, mndo ooinpleto, with appropriate mounting, would prove the ideal Tof a winter ooetume. But at preseot these heavy fabrics aro only thought of by e.nterbrisieg merchants and fashion-wri-ters. Ordinary suits for ordinary War are made of black alpaca, or gray serge; morel elegant suits of puro Irish popli£, and the fancy costumes wornHy drossy young ladies, and tboso who would be considered young, of stripes or plaib silks or aatio, with the back "pompadours” or short over-dress before mentioned. These’over-drtfssns at*c a Variation

from those which have heretofore been worn, and aro considered a bright, economical and particularly useful idea. Last year tho under-dross was mado high; the over-dross in the fbrm ©f-a--low gored Aanie. This season tho undop-dress forms merely a potticoat, long or short, and the upper part ot tbo costume a short, high dress,.paniorod at the back, and having the characteristics of both tunio and pelisse. This npper dress bears the name olTßompadour, and when it is made, as it nearly always is, in black silk, fully trimmod with ruffles, or fringe, or laoe, it can bo-adapted for wear with several dresses. For instance, it can bo worn to oomplete a black silk suit for the ntroets, with a short colored silk underskirt of striped silk, or a satin for a dinner-dress at homo, or a trimmod skirt of black silk, green or Aparuet satin; it would also composes handsome walking toileito. Black Pompadours arc, therefore, all tho rage. THE NEW BON XBT. _ Tooplo who thought the minimum bad been reached in bonnots, aro surprised to find that tboro is a tinier possibility still, and that we hnvo got to fafco ft during tho coming wintor. The Openings, which now no longer take plaoe upon one day, but stroteh all the way along the full, reveal the fact, to the dismay of those who have to’look out for ae\v^chijiioua t in consequence of it. Thcro is no' shapo to Speak of, no anything to speak of but the smallest of Fanebons, with tbo oval brim necessarily small, surmounting tho front; It forms a very pretty little beaddress, however. It is no longer flat; it is high—often composed of a smull puff of velvet or satin with tbo surmounting brim,, and a tuft of short curlod ostritch feathers placed standing at the side. High colors nro admissable in these little bonnots, and they are often composed of velvet or satin of tbo sumo shade ns thb rich brilliant tints of the dress. InsteaAdfYt dark bOnnet and gsy trimmings, we have bonnets of gold color, crimson, scarlet, sultan red and bright garnet subdued with black lace and band, or clusters of tho earliest and - glossiest of binek feathers. Tho form of tho nccklnco, do sounding low upon the breast, which has lately boon worn iustend ot strings, has somewhat changed.'— Strings aro again revived, tho latest stylo of impored bonnets especially displaying them, tied under tho chin, whilo tho necklace is usually composed of straight pieces of luce or velvet, ornamented and united at the ends by two or more bows of ribbon placed at equal distances apart, the number never exceeding three. The ends themselves are trimmod with laco, or fringed out if composed of silk or satin. Tho fashionable trimmings hats and b.onnets aVe feathers of "tho most varied and briHiiint dyes that can bo imagined. The European ladies were recently scolded by a member ot some royal British society or other, for despoiling tho tropics of birds, to get thoir gay plumage; hut I hardly think Amerenn ladies need fear that such an imputation will be cast upom them. Certainly, these are plumes most wonderful for beauty and variety of tint; but tho majority of those that fill the windows, and find their way to tho posts of honor upon ladies’ heads, are taken from our honest barn-yard fowls, and Bimply put through a tropical processor dyeing and coforing. Tho genuine ostrich plumes are, however, in great demand, for the hiaJk“cavalier” hats of black straw jujT’now so fashionable, and there are long willow plumes, very slender and bright, in green and gold, which descend nearly to the waist, after passing around one side of the hat, that undoubtedly deservo the distinction of "real,” and are, in fact, very fair, os well as most coveted of feathered treasures. Scotch bonnets. Thcro,atp two spocial styles introduced by Mine. Railings, Who, last winter, made such a hit with/ her novel “gas-light” exhibition, ol complete costumes, in the day t*ime, Ono is the “Scotob bonnet,” the other tbo “Polish cap.” Tho Scotch bonnet has a round crown, laid io plats at the side, a rim covered with short curled feathofs, or with richl black thread Idee put on in 'spirals to represent them; 1 i plume, a scarf of lace, or bow of satin. ribbon ny tbe back, and a Scotch curled plume fastened over the loft tomplo. The most distinguished are made in velvet, and trimmed with black wholly—black lace, jot, and black ot peacock’s feathers. * The Pollßh esp consists mainly of a crown doubled over,/laid in plaits upon tbo front, and high from the forehead. Many, of theso are made ih black velvet, and richly trimmed with black Spanish lace and jot; but there aVe others vary striking and stylish, that are mado in velvet amt ntgh dolors, garnet maroon, Sultan red, marigold and scarlet, and trimmed' entirely with rich blaok thread loco, jtt aod feathers. There are several new dolors used

OUR COUNTRY AND OUR UNION,

in bonnots, ono of which is a fine rich shade brown called “claret” brown, another “grass” green, a Very light shade but N beautiful in velvet or satin. It is generally used for trimming and looks bost upen-black.* * — s There are sevoral shapes of bonnots called “new,” one the “fez,” which is simply a very small inverted coal shovel; another irreverently called the “shanghai,” on account of the length of its straight, flat crown, which terminates in the neck, in what may bo called a curtain. It is awfully ugly and sooms to havS been invented to meet tho pressing demand from those ladies who have no “back” hair. A novelty in strings whs attached to one of the Polish caps. These consisted ot black lace, knotted with ribbon at intervals, and each two yards and a half in length. They are worn as a Marie Antoniette fichu, crossed upon the breast, passed round tho waist and tied behind. HINTS OF WHAT IS TO 88. Very stylish new suits are in preparation; of Scotch tartan doth. These suits are made with straight Skirts which just clear the ground, an up at the sides with rosottos, and a Bachlik mantle or Colleon Bawn cape, tbo latter caught up with a rosette at the back, tbo former drawn up upon the shoulder and shaped at tbo back With a hood formed by a fold of the material. ■ The Colleon Bawn, to our thinking, is the pfettiostand most appropriate. The clotlrSnits in preparation are usually made double-breasted, with a broad black military sash, with fringed ends. The trimmings upon the high colors—purple, garnet, mulberry and claret —are uniformly black. Rod and black, reddish browns, and red of every conceivable shade, especially the rich dark ones, aro in tho highest vogue. Winter cloaks are not of course on exhibition yet, but ladios who wish to k now vftral the style wilt be; «re informed that one” of the best and most comfortable dosigns will bo a tight or half-fitting (according to taste), gored coat or paletot, with a capo, ofther peTerino*or rodnd; if round, cau’gfi’t lip at tho back or Upon tho shoulders with a rosette, (tho Inttcr stylo is youthiul, but too fiineiful for sober poople,) and (loublc-h;;oaste.<l, tho waisUinclosed with belt and rosotte. This is a very and ecnfilbfo design for oountry wear; is adapted for the narrow fur collars or short boas that wfif bo Worn, and is stylish and becoming, ns well as neat and lady like. # Independent cloak—that is to say, those not made or worn - en suite -should be composed of black; plain or tricot cloth, as this can be worn with all sorts and colors of dresses. High bodies for housd wear will ''be very generally crossed ovor upon tl)e breast, the sleeves tut a moro rigid coat-shape than formerly, und finished with a single or double puff at the tip. Capa, also," and small, divided capos, rounded in tho center over a full puff, will be worn. Skirts are still gored, mado full behind, and plain in front. Short skirts are very fashionable, finished a Marie Antoniette ftottneo, six inches deep, ’and headed with a niche or a plaiting, left in the flounce. Theso nr6 suitable for fall alpates and sorgeß, but not for cloth suits. FANCY GOODS IN LEATHER. There is quite a new rage for leather work this soason, and many very beautiful and ornamental articles aro already displayed, which by and by‘will be in great demand for gifts. Among the rest arc chatelofUes, with scissors, noedlo case, thimble case and smelling bottle attached. ' There are also loather wofk baskets lined with colored silk and satin and trimmed with leather bordering mounted in gilt, either card receivers, elegant little leather porto-mon-naios and oren leather bracelets, in addition to card oases, cigar oases, and other articles heretofore made of this material, loss beautifully finished, however, and lcßAhighly Ornamented. BYZANTINE JEWELRY. The latest novelties In jewelry Are composed of the richest spcci«3 metis of Byzantine mosaic work. — The stvlo is very ancient, ahd tho I emblems usod aro cafofully d. The lofm in the old nd Greek mottoes, in addihe embleifis, are often inI. tcarrabee, for inwhluh is very frequently nifies “eternity,” tbe motto ’B. -fir - ' emblems, figures and rootformed by a minutia of inorkmanship, which makes very corfliy, aud gendAlly it for the admiration and iion of the best judges dUd ’ art. tik “obkciaii” B*m>. ~ ilassloal bore baa succumbed orm of ridicule which it exFbe Grecihti Bfendi t&raloga t in black profile and exhiV the windows, might have

But for weeks past, tbe leading of New York, fcnd other largo cities, bare been DeeiogSd by boyrt, yelling at the top of their shrill voics*.— “Here's the Grecian Bend, only five cents.” Ttut, we imagine, Witt the last of the Grecian Bend. NEW AUTUMN OIOVJtB. Theso are imported in the very highest und most striking colors, marigold, Sultnn red, rich shades of tan, and red brown, mulberry, claret, and purple plum color. ,The back of tho Stewart’s gloves which are exclusive to this hopse, are ornamented with eight small, gold studs, crimped cord and tasßels. The wrists nro also fastened with small, movable studs, whioh can bo taken out and a new gold chain, with atudS, attached. Worn on ceremonious occasions. NECK-TIES. Handsome bows of satin, striped ribben, fringed out upon the ends, and byzantino scarfs, tied in a wide bow-knot, also f ringed out, are worn at threat and give tbo touch of autumn color, crimson, or scsrlet and gold, which tbe black or neu-tral-tinted costumes deindnd.

SPAIN.

Republican Proclamation. The following proclamation has been spread all over Spain: Spaniards! Let our cry be “Long live the Federal Republic! Down with tyranny 1” Let us never more see any kings on our soils, which they have rendered so unhappy. With the republic, Democracy's popular programme—the only one approved by the people shall be filled. Soldiers! The republic will at once grant you “unlimited leave of absence;” You shall embrace your mothers, and say, “Thanks to the Republic, you will no longer weep on separating front sons; for they will remain to work with you.” Henceforth Spain shall fight only when her independence is threatened. As for patriot officers, there will be numerous reserve liTsts Jto reward for their services. Saniards! It is only with the republic that you can be free, happy and rich. It is also with the republic atone that property is guaranteed, and that prosperity, through i ndustry, can grow rapidly. It 16 alone with the republic that our enormous taxes will diminish. No one will her prosecuted for his Opinions, because all opinions are sftcrcd } but public thieves must be forced to deliver up fortunes won by spoliation, because crimes are not opinions. The aeeompUees of tyranny will receive their punishment. Spaniards 1 Let us be the worthy descendants of the Cid, Padilla, Lanuza, and Riego. Let us revive at least the liberties of Castile, Arragon, and of the popular Constitution of 1812, and give them’ the mOd’erfi 1 perfection. Citizens’! Imitate the Saragossans of 1808, and of March, 1838. Soldiers! Be the children of the nation: imitate those who follow - od Biego and Espartero. If you are ordered to fire on your brethren, flourish your muskets in the air. Spain has fought the Romans and Moors for centuries; one month is enough now to do away with our oppressors. Spaniards 1 We are now the most villifled people in Europe! Let us renew the great exploits of 1808, lfeia, and 1820. In one word, let the lion rouse from hiß lethargy. Spaniards ! Long live the Federal Republic! and in order to proclaim and defend it, let us shako off our degradaft^Bi-*e*« Sfci To arms for liberty ! The proclamation is signed, “Jose IVfam de Orertse, in the name of the National Government.” M. de Orense is a refugee, aged 72, who has been residing in the south of France. TO THE CATAXftf’S. A proclamation to the Catalina declares that “the dynasty, deaf tfr advice, treats the nation as an enemy, and pauses notin itA path of iminorrality and hypocrisy. The nation shed its blood in wars to secure the liberty now trampled unifdr foot. The nation was flying to arms for it can no longer enduro such scandal and infamy. The struggle will be short, because all classes have boon injured and offended.” The proclamation appeals to the army to join the people. “It is time for the nation to assume the sovereignty, and to proclaim universal suffrage, and the assembling of a Constituent Cortes.” It concludes thus; “We serve the cause of no person of fhmily property 1 , and domestic rights shall be respected. Viva the sovereign nation. Viva a Constituent Cortes.” Dated from the “Camp ot Liberty,” fboclamatWh oftwk bevocutionABY OOMMITTR*. The Revolutionary Committee have published the following proclamationl to the people of Mad rid : Madrilenet!’ The hour io patiently expected' Hus sounded. Liberty has revived where it was born at tk* beginning of this"denttfry-nwhleh is the century of Spanish regeneration. Ohs vteliWrt seamen, who <hm«f return to their country, wbifclf they dei

fended with so much courage, found it impoverished and enslaved by insolent and despicable mandarins, have, together with our brave soldiers, untied with the people; Yes, the people and the army, the whole nation T«r aftldif hgairiSt' thb* tyranny which oppresses us, the Immorrality which degrades us, the insolence which lomiliktcto us. I The inhabitants of Madrid will not he the last to rise, for they know andr they abominate the unworthy and dishonoring yoke which oppresses us. But wo do not now appeal td yeur courage; we appeal td fbiir phtdenoe alone } be prepared for the combat, but do ridt prdroko it Per-' haps we shall have no tided to fight, because the Soldiers in whose midst we live are also liberals, and they are hut Waiting for the occasion to unite with the people ana their brothers in arms. W hit, therefore, for the occasion; frmch is near at hand. The diffrn of onr triumph which will be the triumph of right, of justice, and of liberty, and not Off plunder and burning, a&Jtbe cowardly enemies of onr liOly reldlution allege, will soon Appear. Y6n will prove that yort are as vlrtubu’s as you are liberal, and that-you! will punish robbers and incendiaries. In driving from the country those wh<j excite your holy indignation, you will at the same time show that you have all the virtues that belong to nations which love liberty. Meanwhile check your indignation, and do not even exhibit signs of ioy for the triumph of onr cause, Which is already sure. If the committee deem it necessary that you should change your peaceful attitude for one of resolve, they will give you timely notice. Wait, therefore, for the signal. We shall not give it by an appeal Uko the present, for our enemies, or impatient or ill-informed friends may make use of it and prodnee a crash which we wish to avoid. It will be f;ivch to you secretly by tried friends. )istrust all other counsel; Prudence and Utifon—these are what arc required at present. ThE PROGRAMME OF THE INSURGENTS. The Omtdoit says: “We are able to announce that the programing of the insurgents comprises three principal points: 1. The destruction of the Bourbon dynasty. 2. A Provis-. sional Government. 8. The convocation of a constituency, which shall decide in a sovereign manner upon everything relating to the future destinies of Spain. Such is the programme of the Progressists and the Unionist coalition. On the other hand, the Carlists, who have long ceased to show any signs of life, are preparing*to enter upon a campaign under the corti’fn'atid of General Cabrera, and march to the cry of live ChaVles the Seveftrijr’ -

Spanish Military Officers.

The Retklutionafy Leaden. Jcaqnin Baldohfbfo' Esparto, Duke of Vittoria, whom, the fevolutionists are proclaiming “President,*’ is one of the most distinguished living Spanish soldiers and statesmen. He is the son ofa wh'eehrnghfi Wasborn Febrnary 27,' 1*792, in Gfamiatula, province of Cindad Real; and is therefore 70 years old. In 1809 be enlisted as a common soldier, subsequently attended the military school at Cadiz, was made snb-Lieutenant in 1814, engaged in 1816 in the war in Venezuela, and attained in South America the rank of General. Ip 1824 he wai sent to Madrid ti'i a bearer of dispatches for the Government and returned to South' A'diferiCa the ensuing year to witness the triumph of Bolivar and to be thrown into prison. Escaping after a few months’ detention, he went back to Spain with a large fortune made by Snibling, and married a wealthy ly. lie was one of the first to advocate the claims of the present Queen to the succession, and supported the regency during the Queen’s minority, taking an active part against the CarfiSts. For the protection of Madrid against the insurgents, he was appointed Genqr-nl-hi-Chtef df the tfrniy of the north, Viceroy of Havana, and afterward Captaitf-Getieral of the Basque provinces. He was .Created Count of Luchana fojVdriViiig tfc’d Carlihto irom that position, and ( on jtlie occasion oi his raising,' with' the assistance of the British fleet, in December, the seige of Bilbos. Additional victories gained by him over tH* rebels in September, rp April, I'B3B, and in May, 1839, wonjjfor him additional distihdtlohs.' fn June, 1839, he was' cheated a grandee of the first classy with the title of the Duke of Vitteria and Morelia. By concluding the convention of Becgars, in which twenty-four Carlist battalions surrendered and acknowledged the Queen, Esparto did much'to' hasten the fall of the Carlist cause in 1840, the following year. After the flight of Queen Christina,' vripf riSsigued her office as regent',' and retired to France, October 10, 1840 y Esparto was placed by the Cortes at the head of the Government during the minority of Isabella. As previously r«flted;*btfadteHir*tfatiod' was one ofthe best. But nothing oonld prevent the tendency in Spain toward Tcvbhftion. ThepsrtUahh of Christiaha, who “had Had; a stormy qaar rel with Espartero hOfore her'depamfre, 1 tosh if dOnspieuotA part' iti His**-

Esparto toft Spain for England, in 1847, when he was’fecaffed to Spain and created a Sofia ibt. Ho soon resigned hie seat; and remained to re-, tirement until the insurrection .of ’ Jtrty, IBft4, wnren Chrhftina aim Narvaez were again forced net of the country, and Ksfgfrtb irtfcd'fgain placed qt the_head of the Gov*rnment. Troubles arose, which made it expedient for him t6 n resign in 189 A, aipoe which time bo has lived in retirement. ■,. .
