 The correspondent docs not mention the time that 



The steamship Tennessee arrived at New Orleans

 Zuloaga abdicated in favor of Mir.unon on the 2d

u Fashions.— Wc have rather neglected the 

 csts of tbe Moral's /air readers in uotocca- 

 illy giving them a description of the "latest 

 fitnii l'uris" styles, but shall endeavor to make 

 amends for all " sins of omission," by attention to 

 minis hereafter. Just now wcwill stale that 

 the/a«/jtonuWe season was inaugurated on the EOth 

 lit., by a grand reception and ball at the TuiUcnes. 

 It the first ball, which usually fixes tbe wd* lor 

 he winter, it was remarked that the enenmfer- 

 succof the ladies' toilettes had not diminished; — 

 if there was any change since last winter, it was on 

 tbe side of augmentation. It was also remarked 

 Ibere was a greater profusion of precious 

 i, especially of rubies, which seem to be corn- 

 to fashion again, We will soon arrive at that 

 point where a woman will not be well dressed 

 unless she carries a quarter of a million francs on 

 her shoulders. 



Tun IIoitisii'Ao lSn.1. -There seems to be some 



isappreherision in the public mind concerning 



the lloiiieslcinl hill pass,.. I by the House of liepre- 



Upoo the authority of the Tribvnt, in 



report of "Congressioual Proceedings" last 



;, we stated it to be a regular votc-yourself-a- 



ircn, or lias declared his intention to become 

 such, one hundred and sixty acres from any unap- 

 propriated land belonging to the United States, on 

 the simple condition that he shall make bis home 

 upon it and cultivate it. But the I'hihidclpliiu 

 Ledger insists that lliis is a mistake. According 

 paper, tbe bill passed gives settlers upon 

 irveyed public lands, the right to purchase 

 tlicm al a dollar and a quarter an acre, after they 

 have been surveyed. This is something entirely 

 different from the tirst understanding of the im- 

 port of this bill. 



Latkst Haytikn Intkli.iolnck. — Gen. Jcffrard 

 entered Port an Prince Ihe morning of the 14th, 

 when the city surrendered without firing a gun, 

 Republic was proclaimed, Soolounue had 

 abdicated, and a guard wus detail,-. 1 to escort him 

 on board the British vessel Star of Melbourne, hut 

 the mob was so excited to arrest him, that he was 

 forced lo tjke refuge at the French Consulates, 

 lie finally got safely ou board the Melbourne, and 

 arrived at Kingston. The people al Port au Prince 

 were rejoicing over his downfall. Jeflrurd had 

 been declared President of the Republic by accla- 



Tuk Postal Laws. — The bill providing for n 

 change of Hie postal law which was reported to 

 tbe House a few days ago, deprives members of 

 Omirri ■-.- uf lli. flanking privilege, but retains it 

 for tbo President, Ex- Presidents, Presidents' wid- 

 ow*. Post-Master General and Deputies, Auditor 

 and Chief Clerk, and for those post-masters whose 

 annual pay is less than $200. It also deprives 

 ■■I (he privilege of having exchanges 

 and their county circulation free.

Tuk Canadian FbdxbUTIOEI Scheme. —All the 

 Lower Provinces, with the exception of Newfound-

 done tuwurd a consummation of the project.

Calipoiima.— The Supreme Court of California 

 have decided that the Legislature has power to tax 

 mining cluiins, and also that the law prohibiting 

 the immigration of Chinese, is unconstitutional.— 

 An immense meeting of Hebrews nnd Protestants 

 had been held at San Francisco to express their

 for stealing stock. Mnj. Johnson hud arrived there 

 willi troops to giro Ihe Indians protection. The 

 wealher throughout California was excellent, and 

 accounts from the mines exceedingly favorable. 



Oregon. — That portion of the President's Mes- 

 sage in relation to Kansas, was not favorably 

 received in Oregon, on the ground that Mr. Uu- 

 chunun's policy would retard the admission of that 

 Territory into the Uuion. 



South America.— Dates from Valparaiso arc to 

 Jan. 1st. Chili still remains disturbed, and the 

 Provinces are under martial law. The press was 

 entirely under the direction of the Government.— 

 Callao dates are to Jan. 11th. The prospect of a 

 general revolt seems on the increase. While on 

 edict was being read on the 8th, prohibiting the 

 tearing up the rails of railroads and cutting the 

 wires of tbe telegraph, Ibe mob did tho very thing 

 they were forbidden to do. The itreeta were 

 strewed every day with pasquiues, threatening 

 Castilln Willi death, aud calling on the troops to
