J' via for the palm of folly, laid and sober city, bat yCw lork was once ; (hfl period of its sobriety is almost. past tho re collection of the mythical "oldest inhabitant," and everyone who can alfotd tho luxury of . fashion, now runs, madly into tbo .very excel and frenzy of wild extravagance. liuaiocM is prosperous; money is abundant; placea of amuse ment are flourishing; uiorald are so-ao, and the appetite for excitement, healthful or baneful, seems to be almost insatiable. Churches are moderately attended; theatres are liberally pat ronized; tho Acudt-my of Music h oigutl thronged; prestidigitation and zompilucrostatioo are admired and wondered at, ar.d the Central I'ark is daily crowt'el with fast young men, aod equally rapid young lidics, who pport Grecian cutis, aud delightin showing the metropolitan, world, how admirably they can ''handle the ribbous." Tho variety of equipages which one can soe any pleasant afternoon on tho Central l'ark drives, might well astonish the unin t'attd, and excite envy even in tho breasts of tho nobility- -"thofce pampered children of luxury" as our severe moral writers generally express it. We have got far beyond the ago of family carriages; barouches, carryalls,, rockaw ays, gigs, light wagons, and other antiquated vehicles, and our fair ones now Joll in the luxuriant recedes of equipages which surpass in magnificence any two-wheeled ,or four-wheeled turn-out ever seen in this world or the' old one. The new styles have new names at least new on this side of the Atlantic. The favorites this season are, tba Victoria, the Loudon Clarence, the Landau, the Phaeton, the lirougham, tho Drag, the dog Cart, the Uarket Wagon, and the Calccho. Thou sands of these vehicles whirl and glide through, the Park every pleasant hour, bearing their powdered and perfumed freight of flushed checks; flashing, merry eyes, black, brown and. auburn hair, arranged in water falls or a la ' Greequc, plump little bodies, and much millinery whereof your correspondent is not qualifiod to speak. . - . The rage for fast horses and fancy vehicles,, which was formerly con&ncd to male circles, has extended to the drawing roots and'boudoir, and young ladies ucw "talk hone" with nearly as much gusto as their fathers and Lrothers did five years ago. Last summer some of our New York ladies astorfished the quiet folk at the watering, places by taking tho reins and trying the uicitlo. of their animals-after the most approved Fashion Course style. They were so charmed with tho excitement of fast trotting, that they brought, the whip penchant homo with them, and now indulge it in the face of fashion and the world of the Central. Indeed, our most fashionable . voun ladies are becoiniiiir renowned for their expertness at the reins, und it js not by any. means uncommon to nto matrons of fifty flying along behind a pair of threc-utinutes greys or blacks. Some of the equipages disblaycd at the Park this season arc worth twenty thousand dollars,, and few of them cost lcfa than five thousand Park horses are frequently more prized for their style than their rpctd, especially those driven by the ladies.
