The audience nst night, the third and last but two of the Chapman Sisters and Mr. Bishop in this place, we were pleased to observe, was very large ana . comprised in its number many of tie beauty and fashion of our city. There was -no diminution-in the efforts to please and everything passed off with the usual eclat. Mr. Bishop, as on previous occasions, prov ed himself the prince of merry-makers and -kept the house in a continual roar while on the stage. The Misses Chap man excelled, if possible, in-their singing and dancing, tbeir efforts on the two succeeding nights, and were time and again encored. The farce of "My Precious Betsy", was a most amusing one and all the characters" were well sustained. The Oriental Musical Burlesque, of "Aladdin or the Wonderful Scamp" was extremely entertaining, and the leading characters, as played by the Missea Chapman arid Mr. Bishop, were well supported by Miss Rcignolds, Miss Parker, Mr. Ilodges, Mr. Gallagher, and in fact by the whole com pany, m their various parts. Mr. "Withers, the Prince of Violinists, was again the recipient of much anil well deserved applause. 7- v s This evening, the benefit and last appear - ance but one of the Chapman Sisters and Mr. Bishop, will be presented the splen did Burlesque Opera from . the Arabian Nights, called the "Forty Thieves, or A!! . inlPimilv lanl uiifli ita augbable situations, exquisite music ana charming songs. A crowded house may be expected. A la Mode. For the benefit of our lashionable readers of both sexes, but especially the ladies, we shall give in these columns a few "fashion dots" occa sionally, to keep them posted in the latest styles,' shapes, Ac, of the various articles which comprise the toilet : -Roumlhats have superseded the bonnets, for the latter, made in modern 'and fash ionable shapes, is merely a cross between a hat and a bonnet. Round hats are worn not only for simple dress or ordinary occasions, but at the opera and for cereutonlons occasions. Now that styles may be considered set tled the Tyrolienne shape is decidedly the favorite, and those made of felt have the tip ot the crown depressed, as if carelessly done. ' Black velvet Tyroliennes are even higher than the felt variety. Oetiicu plumes, with rouleaux of velvet, arc the trimming, varied with tips aigrettes and peacock leathers. . A pretty' soft-crowned hat, .which droops over the forehead and turns up be hind, is very becoming to round faces, Black velvet is the most popular mate rial for hats of every shape, after that come the felts, in black, white, gray and brown. Feathers are often worn in contrast to the, hat, but the velvet which trims the hat corresponds in colorl, l J . . t - Two kinds of feathers are also used on the same hat, contrary ta our former ideas of good, taste. Large buckles of French , jet, ' and cut steel, are used upon rosettes or- loops of Veils are somewhat less worn, and the scarf or Donna Maria veil of silk tissue, a yard and Aiialf jo Jtngtlvnoats from .the back'bf the hatband. is";drawn' over'the face or lightly folded about the throat, to suit the caprice ot the wearer. WHJmiGTONfN. ' "THE Shipping. Yesterday afternoon, , as. the steamship Pioneer was being taken from her wharf by the steam-tug Oldham, with the purpose of conveying her to the Messr-Parsley's mill, the . tide running out heavy at the time, the steamer swung around with the current in such a man ner as to become unmanageable and went drifting down the stream at a rapid rate. Finally, after executing sundry evolutions, her broadside came in violent contact with the bows of the schooner Sirene, an chored in the stream in front of Mr. F.. W. Kerchner's wharf, ripping off the rail ing of the Pioneer and tearing away the bulwarks and bowsprit of the schooner. The steamship was going with such force when the collision occurred that Bhe dragged the Sirene as far as the front of Market dock before she could be cleared, in the meantime swinging around in such a manner as to threaten the destruction of a number or flats on the other side of the river, the owners of . which were shoving them hither and thither in evident conster nation at the fate which they were endeav oring to escape. - The antics ot the ship and her collision with the schooner crea ted considerable excitement, on 'the wharves for a few minutes. Chips for the Ladies and Oth kks. A young lady in Marion county, Iowa, has just been fined $ 5 and coshf for pelting a big school-master with stones.

Election on Mon day next. , ' t The following in regard to the Fayetteville and Western Railroad, we find in the Statesville American. So far as regards tbe Governor's views or inten tions in tbe matter alluded to, we know nothing whatever. We do know, how ever, that his actions will be influenced by what he believes will accomplish the greatest good to the greatest number : "Although thfe board of directors have lo cated the line of this road to Salisbury, yet it is said that an effort will be made to change the route to Greensboro', and that Gov. Holden will favor the change and require the State's proxy to vote f or it at a subsequent meeting, or resign. We think that the interest of the larger num ber of the people ot the State who pay taxes to build the road as well as the pri vate stockholders, should be consulted, and not any particular town or locality. : If the road is built - to Salisbury, it will hot, only, in a manner, be a branch of the Western N. C. R. R. and connect directly with the. far west and contiguous country, but will strike the N. C, road leading to Charlotte, and at that point connect with FBIDAY M0BNING, o.
