the LADY' -? ROOIi that
rvill more than. justify its well earned title of the
.Magazine of .Magizin s for tho ladies cf our
country.
It has passed into cni-tMi to r)3-;?rt that dress is
a ma;ter of trifling inipor:r.;i?, but this every lady
hnows to be utterly false. Taste in dri's is 'ini
varsilly fdtto be ths i.-.drx of a thousand desirable
realities in woman, whllo o deficieney in this res
pect always injures on- in the estimat on of stran
gers, and even of tier intimote friend? thebeanty
of I!e:on and the wii of Aspasin, would hardly
commend to general favoran a.:knovl9dg?d dowdy
in dress. Hence the importance cf an accrddit'td
gui-do to ths Fadhioni.
This useful ofiice, already fdlad fir f inrfen
years, with universal acceptance, by the Lady's
IJook, the piblislier pledges himself to dinc'iarg-j in
future, in a style surpassing all his former efforts.
Tho ladies know perfect'' well that our Magazine
is the highest authority in Fashion.
No ladyconsidershrrsrdf well dressed who con- j

ofdress.
In future the figures will ba thrown into tasteful
groups, displaying the graces ofdress to the best
advantage, and the back grounds of the plates will
present interesting views, designed by the first
rate Artists.
As a further assurance of thorough excellence in
this department, the publisher has secured the ser
vices of Miss LESLIE, who will illustrate tha
Fashion Plat '8, in her usual felicitous and graph
ic stylo, uniting a thorough knowledge of the sub
ject, with a clear, graceful and intelligible man
ner of treating it. I ler descriptions are worthy of
the productions of liar own glowing pencil, which
drew tho earliest Fashion Plates for the Lady's
ibolc.
Tiie pnblinliar'i correspondent in Taria is pos
sessed of such ample. means of obtaining the real
and present raris Fashion., and of transmitting
tham in advance of all competitors, thatthe ladies
may continue, as they have always done, to co;y
from our plates what has received the sanction of
indisputable ton, the last, the newest, tho best fash
ions, fresh from Paris.
TJae arrangements for p.oducing a most brilliant
and attractive series of Line and Mezzotint En
gravings are now complete. Pictares fresh from
the easels of oar first rate American Artists, are
now actually in the hands of tha ablest American
engravers, the snbject3 embracing not only the usn
al popular and domestic topics, but others which
are interwoven into the very heartstrings of Amer
ican nationality, treating as they do of stirring in
'Cidenti in the glorious and heroic age of America-

Wonderful Mights in the Air
The veneraMe American Lexico
grapher lias thought it worth while to
notice, in the New Haven Herald, the
use which appears to have been made
in recent publications, of certain atmos
pheric phenomena, in reference to the
great change which, it is said, is to
come over the world this year. He
says:
''To persons not accustomed to see
any unusual phenomenon in the heavens,
such a Aery appearance in the clouds
must be terrific. Ignorance, m such ca
ses is a calamity. I had seen most
wonderful appearances in the clouds or
heavens, and wa3 not in the least dis
turbed. "In the dark day, May 19, 1780, the
heavens were covered with a dense cloud
for three or four hours; the Lcgisla
ture was in session nl Hartford, r.nd
such was the darkness that business
could not be transacted without candles.
During the time, the clouds were tinged
with a yellow or faint red for hours, for
which no cause has been assigned. I
stood and viewed this phenomenon with
astonishment, b it I had no fear that the
world w as coining to an end.
'hi the evening of 20th March, 1782,
an extraordinary light spread over the
whole hemisphere from horizon to hor-
;20n, nor,l, an south, cast and WCSt
The light was of a yellow cast, and wa
vy. The wuving of the light was visi
ble, and some persons heard, or im
magined they heard, h slight rustling
sound. I then resided in Goshen, Or
ange county, New York, and stood half
an hour on a bridge over the Wall Kill,
to witness this extraordinary phenome
non, but I saw no person that was frigh
tened at the sight.
'In the year 17C3, a great part of
Europe was for weeks overspread with
a haziness of atmosphere which caused
great consternation; the churches were
crowded with snrmlirvint. Tbo
omcr Lalande:aucmn;ed to allav the
rbynJcavon
utgui oy enueavoring
the appearance, which he ascribed to an
uncommon exhalation of watery parti
cles from the great rain of the preced
ing year. But at last the cause was
ascertained lobe smoke from the great
eruption of the volcano Hecla, in Ice
land, which covered more than three
thousand square miles with burning la
va, in some places to the depth of forty
feet. I had this account from Dr. Frank"
lin, who was in Europe at that time.
'Iu a late paper, published by the
Millerites, 1 saw an article stating that
the northern lights foretell something
terrible. The writer seems not to
know that in the high northern lati
tudes, in the sixteenth degree and north
ward, northern lights are of daily oc
currence, and so have been from time
immemorial. So illuminated are t lie
heavens, that persons may often see to
read in the night.
"These lights occasionally come to
far south as to illuminate the sky in our
latitude. Sometimes they do not appear
for many years. At the close of the
seventeenth and beginning of the eio-h-teenth
century, those lights were not
seen for a long period, and when they-'
re-appeared about the year 1817, our
ancestors, who had not seen or heard
of them, were all alarmed, and aetually
supposed the day of judgment was come.
''During my life, I have been so ac
customed to see northern lights, falling
stars so called, and fire balls, that they
have long since ceased to excite my cu
riosity, 'Nearly thirty years ago I read an
article in a Vermont paper, stating that
the northern light, on acertain evening?
was so low as to be visible between the
spectator and a distant mountain.
N. WEBSTER."
IliIily Important to Dandies.
The New York correspondent of the
National Intelligencer ono N. P. Wil
lis says in a recent lettter:
I do not know you care to cater for
tho taste of tho dandies among your
readers, but it may interest here and
there a mouslacldo at Washington to
know that, by the latest accounts from
Paris, all fashion in gentlemen's appar
el and outer seeming is al an end. An
attempt having lately been made to re
introduce the fashion of short hair and
to abandon straps and suspenders, (the
waistcoat covering the waist to the hips,)
it was fully conceded by the tailors and
hair-dresses that among noticeable men
there were no three followers of any
peculiar style "costume, and that, to tho
great praise of human ingenuity, every
dandy in Paris seemed to have worked
out his separate idiosyncrasy. I can
not imagine a greater consternation
than will be spread by this dynasty cf
variety over the stereotyped classes of
this country. We are, as 1 have re
marked in a previous letter, the most
gregarious people on earth, aud in any
cfowd, such as Broadway on Sunday,
it requires sharp practice to distinguish
ong person from another, so exactly are
all men of all ages alike. Fancy the
dismay of each New York "particular',,
if he is inexorably compelled to invent
a costume sui generis lor himself. My
observing informan, who is lately from
Paris, tells me, however, they continue
to wear the full complement of beard,
and that this, appendage seems to have
become a fixture to be rated hereafter :
with the nose and eyes, and worn, as
God pleases.
Amputation of the Keg during a state i
of Somnipathy.
The first case of a surgical operation,
as far as wo know, ever performed in
this country, was detailed in the fourth
number of the Majrnet. The following
extraordinary relation is from the Lon
don correspondent of Journal of Com
merce: IV. Y. Mjgnet.
The most extraordinary surgical op
pcration has been performed, the par
ticulars of which will be found detailed
in a couple of columns of the Mornin
Herald of the 2Gih ult. James Wom
bell 42, a laboring man, had suffered
for a period of five years with a pain
ful affection of the left knee joint. He
was admitted into the hospital at Wel
low in Nottinghamshire, and it was de
cided that an amputation should take
place above the knee joint, and it was
I accordingly done while the patient was
I "de.r tl'C i,,n.ucnco.of mcsmGric s,ceP!
the 1st October ,ibi. wonderful!
oficration was tnus periormed,a3 given
in the words of tho mesmeriser, one
Mr. W. Topham, a lawyer of the Mid-
dlj Temple, Lonilon; "I again rncsmer-'
ised him m four minutes. In a quarter j
o: an hour I told Mr. W. Squire Wood
(the operator.) that he might commence.
v I O v.... . i.. -n. ,
1 then brought two fingers ofcach hand
gtntly in contact with Wombcll's closed
cjelids, and there kept them still fur
ther to deepen the sleep. Mr. rard
a fcr one earnest look at the man, slow-
i
Ij plunged his knife into the centre of
tl
e outer sida of the thigh, directly to
tc bone, and then made a clear incision I
rpund the bono to tho opposite point on
the outside of the thigh. Thc stillness!
vt this moment was something awful.
"Jhe calm respiration of tho sleeping'
nan alone was heard, for all others
vere suspended. In making the second
iscisicn the position of the leg was found
to be more inconvenient than it had ap
peared, and the operator could not pro
ceed with his former facility. Soon af
ter the second incision a moaning was
heard from the patient, which continued
at intervals until the conclusion. It
gave mo the idea of a troubled dream,
for his sleep continued as profound as
ever. Thc placid look of his counten
ance never once changed, for an instant,
his whole frame rested uncontrolled, in
perfect stillness and repose; wot a muscle
or a nerve was seen to twitch. To the
end of the operation, including the saw
ing of the bone, securing thc arteries
and applying the bandages occupying
the period of upwards of twenty minutes'
he lay like a statue. With strong
salvolatile anjj water, he gradually and
calmly awoke, and when asked to des
cribe what he had felt, thus replied: 'I
never knew any thing more, (after his
being mesmerised,) and never felt any
pain at all; I once felt as if I heard a
kind of crunching.' He was asked if
that was painful; he replied, 'No pain
at all; I never had any, and knew noth
ing till I was awakened by that strong
stuff.' The 'crunching' was the sawing
his own thighbone. The first dressing
was performed in mesmeric sleep, with
similar success and absence of all pain.''
Thiscaso is so important, that I have
condensed its principal features, and
when I consider the gravity with which
thc operation was surrounded, the num
bers who were present, the unquestion
able rank and respectability of the pro
fessional gentlemen, and the utter ab
sence of all affectation, I must candidly
admit that scepticism is staggered, and
that we are no longer in , a position to
deride or despise influences so extraor
dinary, important ond practical.

Congressional.
On the 23d ult. in the Senate s. very
interesting debate took place in regard
to trie treaty of 'Washington. - Mr.
Benton moved to strike out of the na
val appropriation hill so much as was
intended to provide for the African squad
ron, stipulated for by tho treat)'. Mr.
Archer of Virginia presented the views
of the government, and alleged that
there was really but very slight, if any
difference of opinion between Sir Robert
Peel ajid.M.f. Webster. Mr. Denton re
plied to him and was followed on the
same side by Mr. Allen. Mr. Calhoun
opposed the Missouriart with effect, and
upon the question being taken Mr! Hen
ton?sl motion was voted down as fol-
lows; yeas 4, nays 3G. Mr Hunting.
ton, from the Committee on Commerce,
reported against erecting a marine hos-
i pita! at Pittsburg and against another at
Key West; against the House bill cut
ting down the number of the officers in
the New York Custom House, but in
favor of limiting the expenses of that es
tablishment at $388,500; and against
the adoption of the warehousing system.
On this latter suLjcct two of the com
mittee made a report in favor cf the
system both were ordered to be prin"
ted. Nothing else of interest occur
red. In the House Mr. Briggs asked leave
to submit a resolution instructing the
Judiciary Committee to report a bill re
pealing an act of the Legislature of Flo
rida prohibiting the emigration thither
of free negroes. After much excitement
it was refused, the vote being C6 to 104.
Mr. Gushing attempted to bring before
the House an extract from a letter from
Mr. Everett to Mr. Webster in regard
to Sir Robert PeePs speech. Leave was
I refused, but the extract is published in

Temperance Hymn.
BY JOHN NEWLAND MAFFlT.
The gush of cool bright waters,
Soft music to the ear,
The laugh of beauty's daughters
And childhood's mingle here;
And age comes looking brighter
.The old man and his wife
Walked up yon hillock lighter,
With stcp3 of earlier life.
For nature's groans have risen
To nature's loving God,
And he hath rent thc prison
Where soul became a clod;
His mighty arm hath riven
The water rocks again,
And from our feast hath driven
The fires that scorch the brain.
Clear, dancing, glancing fountains!
Your hymn in solitudes
Swells from the lifted mountains
And gently here intrudes;
Our hearts dance to its measures
We shout aoud and long
As those who find great treasures,
And burst into a song. '
Here with us stand our brothers
Plucked from the living grave,
WhonVfcisters, wives and mc0ers
Have long implored to save;
Now take the PLEDGE of gladness,
We drink its waters clear t '
Away with wine cup madness
We have the cups that cheer.
