Above the border are three stripes of satin Maud, pink, edged with celestial blue. The body is made d arcade:me , with fall short sleeves. The hair is ele gantly arranged in the last new style of clustered curls and bows, but slightly elevated, and crowned with a wreath of full-blown red roses, of the Provence kind. Broad bracelets are worn over the gloves, of small coral beads, fastened by a turquoise stone set in gold.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE. This house, which has undergone considerable repairs during the vacation, was lit up last evening, to show the effect. With the exception of the pit and the galleries, every part of it has been considerably improved. The front of the dress boxes, which last year was ornamented with Mlles from SUAIIIPSAIt and other dramatic writers, has been completely changed, and they are now adorned with various devices, by Mr. Demos These devices are on scrolls of a rich gold colour, and, when seen in a proper light, produce a striking effect. All the fore part of the bores has been newly covered with green velvet, and the other parts with crimson paper. The prevailing colour, which before was French white, is now chiefly pink. This, with the vast quantity of gilded iron. ments in almost every part of the theatre, gives the whole as appearance of richness and splendour which we have seldom seen In any other theatre. On the whole, the change is to the better. • —We did not perceive any alteration in the chandelier. or in the manner of lighting up the house; but, indeed, these were formerly in such an excellent state that hardly any improvement could be made. To the credit of the manager, every part of the house is uncommonly clean, and, with the exception of a slight smell frets the new paint, not the least disagreeable odour is perceptible.— Sombre and dismal as the interior of an empty theatre generally Is, we must say that last evening the brightness of the light and the splendour of the ornaments did away with a great deal of that feel. ing ; and with a crowded and brilliant audience the effect altogether will be highly sulking. ADELPHI THEATRE. Our ever-weleonse friends MATIIIIVIS and Yams last night opened their snag little box for the winter, with the enter. tainment of " Monsieur Mallet," "Too Late for Love," and " The Red Rover." AU parts of the house, bright with smiling faces, showed that the public had not forgotten favourites of long standing and approved worth. Each was greeted with emphatic salutation, and although never a " &opine nearer heaven," except, perhaps, in spirit, the representative of the veteran Frenchman displayed no abatement of his former power in drawing alternate clouds and sunshine to the brow. A Miss Anoint, from the Worcester Theatre, was encored in a song incidental to the cha racter of Keziah in the first piece. Something appeared wanting in " The Red Rover," and we remembered that the graced person" of our T. P. Coots was at present breaking the hearts of the daughters of Surrey in the dramatized ballad of " Back-Eyed Susan." The truant will, however, we suppose, return ere long ; and in the meantime we hope that the Adelphi will proceed as auspiciously as it has commenced. The Russian Ambassador and Count Mostucewits bpd a long conference with the Earl of Aberdeen yeslerdiky at the Foreign Office. The Austrian Ambassador had also an interview with the Noble Earl yesterday. The Duke of WELLINGTON left town at in early hour yesterday morning, on a shooting excursion. It is stated, in letters from Geneva, that the Arch duchess Maria Louisa of Parma visits all the public establishments with great attention. Several of them have particularly attracted her notice, amongst which is the new workhouse. She has visited it several times, and inquired into the most minute details, and has re quested an exact account of it, as it is her intention to erect a similar establishment at Parma. On Sunday, Lord Dv NALT, who occupies a house on the Marine Parade, at Dover, ordered his carriage in the afternoon. The horses were put to, and the coach man mounted, but without the precaution of taking the reins, when the horses started from Dyason's livery sta bles, in Chucr.h-street, towards the sea. The coachman leaped from the box, but was unable to secure them, as they proceeded at a rapid rate down the Marine Parade, making the circle of the Bathing-houses, with great pre cision, and were in the act of taking the carriage road to the York Hotel, when one of the wheels came in con tact, slightly, with a post at the new bridge, which turned them out of that direction into Jell's rope-walk, down which they proceeded, the top of the carriage clearing every crosspiece from the uprights from one end to the other, until they arrived at the rope-house, where they Were encircled and stopped. Fortunately there were few persons walking; and the damage is confined to the demolition of the ropeniaker's property and the straining of the carriage. BRIGHTON, Sept. 28. The Marchioness of Dow watitaz entertained a splendid Dinner and Evening Party at the York Hotel on Saturday : among the company were Lady Mary Hill, Mrs. Fitzherbert,tbe Countess of Aldborougb, the Countess of Jersey, the Count and Countess • Munster.

Lady Hyde Parker, for town. is among the removals, but her Ladyship is 'specks! shortly to return, to pass the winter here. DUBLIN, Sept. 27. An affair of a very curious nature occurred on one of the bridges yesterday. A gentleman of Kilkenny, a Mr. happened. a short time since, to have money dealings with a resident of this city. a Capt. P a difference in the accounts arose between the two gentlemen, and Capt. Pte, for the purpose of more im mediately recovering his money, had Mr arrested. Mr. considering this treatment as nut exactly that which should pass between one gentleman and another, sent the gallant Captain a message, to which a decided refusal was immediately given. As the Captain was yesterday passing upon one of the bridges he was met by Mr. accompanied by a friend. Mr. 81-. immediately accosted the Captain, and, after designat ing him as a coward, he struck him a slight blow across the shoulders with a horsewhip. The Captain immediately repaired to Henry-street Police-ufice, where he appeared in a state of great agitation, and detailed the insulting language and treatment he had met with. He also said that his two antagonists seemed to him as if they were determined upon proceeding to England. .t couple of peace-oaten were permitted to accompany him. With them he made a strict search after Mr. bi— and his friend, but was not fortunate enough to meet with them. THE YORKSHIRE HUSSARS. The ball given to the Nobility and Gentry of York shire by Lord Grantham and the officers of this regiment, took place on Wednesday night, in the Town-hall, Pon tefract. In consequence of the number of invitations, the room was considered too small to accommodate the company. A spacious and elegant room was therefore erected, in conjunction with the hall, covered with his Lordship's military tent. The interior of the rooms pre seated to the eye a scene at once interesting and delight ful. The decorations were splendid in the extreme. The central chandelier, the circumference of which measured 35 feet, formed one continued circle of flowers, holding 40 wax lights ; the lustre of which, combined with the light emitted from the small ones, produced a brilliant effect. In short, every arrangement bespoke the spirit and liberality which characterize the noble Colonel of the corps. The scene surpassed every thing ever witnessed at Ponte fract. Whatever could gratify the sight, or please the ear, were admirably combined. The dancing continued until the dawn announced the time of departure; and thus terminated the most spirited and animated assembly ever given in that town. Amongst the fashionables, amounting to about 270, we noticed the following: Lord and Lady Grantham and party, Lord Clanwillianh, Sir John and • Lady Johnstone, Sir Henry Bonverie, Hon. E. and Mrs. Petre, Admiral &theme. Lady Ihbotson, Lord Hawke* Capt. and Mrs. Elmsall, Major and Hon. Mrs. Dyneley, Fox and Lady, the two Misses Robinson, Colonel, Mrs. and the Misses Gooch, Colonel Fane, Lady C. Fox, Lady and Miss Rams. den, Rev. W. C. and Mr.. Fenton, G L. Fox, Esq. Mrs. Gott and party, Miss Cooke, Capt. Trueman, Capt. Louis. Dr. !Jonas, T. D. Bland and Lady, Mrs. and the two Misses Allen, Master Allot; Capt. Adams. Rev. Mr. and Airs. Hankins, Lady Pollington, Lord end Lady Stafford, Lord Templetown, Mrs. and the Misses Fawkes, Mrs. and the Misses Tasburgb, Hon. J. A. S.

Smith, and other Officers of the 14th Light Dragoons ; CoL Holmes, of the 3d light Dragoons ; the Officers of the Yorkshire H . &e. THE REVIEW. On Friday, this fine regiment was reviewed in Ponte fract Park, by Colonel Townshend, of the 14th Light Dragoons, now stationed at Leeds Barracks, when they went through their various evolutions with credit to themselves and to the satisfaction of the reviewing officer. The day being particularly fine, an immense concourse of persons were present. The review being concluded, the regiment formed a hollow square, and Lord Grantham addressed them to the following effect : " I shall detain you but a very few minutes. I have little to say; every feeling that I have is that of 'gratitude and approbation for your conduct. I have been more than usually anxious with respect to the success of this day. I have now received it in orders from Colonel Townsend, who has inspected us, to say, that he ap proves of every thing, both in point of appearance and execution, of every movement that has been brought under his notice, particularly the silence, the steadiness,and the soldier.like man. tier in which all our evolutions have been performed. We have met at a different time of the year from what we have done before. I am aware that this period is most incon venient to a great number of our gallant fellows in the ranks, and that many of you must have made a great personal sacrifice in coming to do your duty on the present occasion. I never yet made a call upon you but it was promptly answered, and when I state that out of MO (under the disadvantages of the season) we have onl y 46 absentees, I think that single fact speaks for itself. You have come forward when you have been wanted, and I know you will do so when your services are required. It is the proudest feeling of my heart, that I am the commanding officer in this regiment; and when I reflect that during the number of years I have had the command, I never used one single word of reproach or objection, that what I proposed was anticipated, and that the mete lifting of a hand was sufficient for you to rally round me, I declare upon my honour, there is no situation that his Majesty could confer upon me that would afford me the gratification I experience from being placed at your head. It has been said that the superiority of my regiment is owing to the palos I bestow upon it; but, my lads, what would my efforts effect, if I was not backed in the way that lam by you ? Whets I see this rank (pointing to the Officers, who had formed is line within the square), and see you cooperating so truly with them, I may say, to use the language of our county, 0 a man must be a dolt who cannot with such a raw material produce a good article.' We are very smooth amid plea sant in fine weather; should our duty ever requite our active ser vice, let me tell you we should be found rough and ready. I thank you cordially. The moment is arrived when we must sepa rate for months—the precise time when we shall meet again Ido not at present know; but let it be when it may, I will use my best endeavours that it shall be for the interest, !amour. and credit of the regiment. Believe toe. when I say, let my body be where it may, my heart is in the midst of the Yorkshire Hassan ; and until we meet spin, Goo bless you all." The regiment then gave three times three cheers. — Lord GaANT 11 Am, on behalf of the regiment, then re turned thanks to the inhabitants of Pontefract, for their attention and accommodation to his regiment ; when, on the motion of Major PETRI:, " one cheer more" was, given, and the regiment separated. Captain Dickenson is the son of the late Mr. R. Dick enson, of Bambro', Northumberland, a Master in the Royal Navy, who fell in the service of his country. Capt. D. entered the Navy in the year 1798, at the early age of 12 years, and continued to be employed in active service until the preliminaries of pence between this country and America were signed, in 1815. In the contest which preceded that peace,he bore a conspicuous part under the flag of the gallant Admiral Sir George Cockburn. After a few months retirement, Bonaparte escape from Elba induced him again to offer his services, azurite was, in consequence, appointed First Lieutenant of the Northumberland, which ship was destined to con vey the usurper to his final earthly abode. On his return from St. Helena, the Gallant ()dicer was appointed to one of the Royal Yachts, and while in that command had the honour to convey many members of the Royal Family to and from the Continent: he afterwards joined the flag ship, the Salisbury, on the West India station, and when there obtained the rank of Commander ; he then retired again for a short period ; but a new regulation having been made, that line-of-battle ships should have a Commander or second Captain, his gallant spirit was again called into action, and he was appointed to the Genoa. SPORTING EXT RAORDIN A RY.—YeAterday after noon some Cockney sportsmen were strolling in the fields near Holloway, shooting at sparrows and other game, when to their infinite astonishment they turned up a hare. If puss was alarmed at the sight of the cock neys, they were no less so at the sight of her ; but as soon as they had recovered from their surprise, they fired a volley at her. It is almost needless to add, that not a single shot touched her. Puss took to the road, followed by a variety of " mongrel dogs and curs of low degree," whose sweet music quickly brought an assemblage of bi peds, who joined in the chace. Others, however, acted differently. The idea of running away from a hare may appear strange to those accustomed to the sports of the field ; but it is absolutely a fact, that many an elderly gentleman, as poor puss approached, thinking from the shouts of the mob that a mad bull was coming, sought refuge in the neighbouring shops to avoid the attacks of the infuriated animal. Puss was at length caught nearly opposite Cloudesley-terrace, Islington, by a journeyman carpenter, who Lagged his game in his apron. A gen tleman present offered him 4s. 6d. for his prize, but he refused to part with it, saying that as it was the firs t , hare he had ever caught, he would keep it as a curiosity.

The King's pew is on a level with the first floor of the Palace. A TRIFLE.—The other day a certain noble peer, with his wife and daughter, drove in their carriage to an emi nent goldsmith's in the city, for the purpose of viewing the treasures contained in their emporium of choice wares. On their return through the shop the daughter was struck with the beauty of a pair of bracelets, richly set with precious stones, which she requested the man in waiting to try on her wrists. Being pleased with their appearance, she inquired their price. " A trifle, madam," was the reply—only nine hundred guineas !" The young lady tript into the carriage with the trifle ; and, in an swer to the customary inquiry, his lordship replied, with evident chagrin, that he did not want any thing more. • MODERATION OF RUSSIA—In 1807, at the Treaty of Tilsit, Russia robbed Prussia of a part of Eastern Prus sia; in 1808 she robbed Sweden of Finland; in 1809 she robbed Austria of a great portion of Gallicia ; in 1814 she modestly kept possession of the whole Duchy of Warsaw ; in 1827 she robbed Persia of Armenia ; and now she possesses herself of European Turkey. As AMERICAN STAIRCASE.—A gentleman of Phila delphia, lately on a visit to the FaUsof Niagara. directed a staircase to be constructed at his own supine, to descend from Iris (Goat) Island, to the water's edge, between the American and Canadian side of the Falls, with a railing at top and battens. They are to be called after his name. NEW WAY TO GET RID OF A BAD LAw.—Being in New Hampshire, a few days ago, says the Salem Magner, we found a great excitement there on the subject of a missing law. which bad been passed at the last Session of their Legislature. The Se cretary could not end it, and the Governor could not recollect whether it had ever been approved by him. It was one of the most important laws which was passed during the Session, and oc casioned more debate than any other. Tim E JEWISH Naw YEAR. evening the year 5590 was ushered in with the usual rites observed on such occasions by the Israelites. At sunset the Jews resident in this metropolis all assembled at their synagogues, when the whole of the Mosaic laws, and the usual prayers, &c. were read over, and the congre gation remained until between eight and nine o'clock. On Mon day, their New Year's Day, they again assembled, at sundae, to celebrate the Feast of Trumpets, in commemoration of Abraham's offering up his son. At ten o'clock the trumpets were sounded, which announced the commencement of the year, and these who thought proper left the synagogue, but many of them remained to a late boor. Th ey met spin at sunset the same day , and also yes terday at the same hour, when these rites terminated. No food is allowed is be taken until the sonoding the trumpets on either day. ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR. Yesterday a very• full meeting of the Livery took place at the Guildhall, for the purpose of electing a Lord Mayor. Upon entering the Hall the Lord Mayor was most rapturously greeted. and Aldermen Key and Crowder, the two aldermen next to the chair, were also received in an enthusiastic manner. Of the other Aldermen below the. Chair there was no remarkable notice. The RECORDER having stated, according to the usual forms, the names of the Aldermen eligible to the Chair, the show of hands'for Aldermen Key and Crowder ap peared to be nearly the same, and the Common Serjeant declared that the election fell upon Aldermen Key and Crowder, whose names were accordingly handed into the Court of Aldermen. On the return of the Aldermen to the Hall, the Recorder stated that Alderman Crowder had been elected unanimously. This announcement was received with the utmost approbation. Alderman KEY stood forward, amidst cheers, to ad dress the Livery. He apologized for having stepped out of the usual course by addressing them thus early, but he was convinced that the occasion would amply excuse him. He felt most grateful for the warmth with which he had been received, and he felt at the same time that it was due to his honourable friend (Alderman Cro'vder) to wait for another year, in order to give the wet-thy Alderman an opportunity of gratifying the wishes of his fellow-citizens, who were fully sensible of the extent of his long services, by filling the Chair which was about to be vacated. (Loud applause.) He (Alderman Key) was F►r from wishing to shrink from the duties of the elevated station to which he aspired, and he trusted that in the year ensuing he should be considered worthy of it, and be retur►ed by the unanimous vote of his felloe - citizens. (Applause.) Mr. Alderman• CROWDER then came forward, evi dently affected. He was immensely cheered. He said that he appeared before the Livery much agitated when he considered the high and dignified station to which lie had been raised. He felt a degree of incompetency upon looking at the nature of the duties he should have to perform ; but, as his fellow-citizens were pleased to call him to the office, he should enter upon it with the most ardent feelings of a zealous mind. He had passed much of )16 life in , the service of the Corporation, and might be supposed to have acquired the knowledge which would qualify him for-the performance of the duties. As far as experience had mellowed and matured his mind, its energies should be devoted to the performance of those duties. He, however, must look to his brother magistrates for co-operation, and he knew he should not .be disappointed. He was totally unoccupied, free from the trammels of business, and he hoped he might add, that he was possessed of another quality—an inde pendent mind. (Cheering.) Relying upon the con fidence of his fellow-citizens, he would not hesitate to say, that all his energies should be devoted to the service of his fellow-citizens. Mr. Tic AN Elt rose to move a vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor for his admirable conduct in the Chair, fron► the moment of his appointment to the present time. After having borne testimony to the talents, zeal, cha ritable disposition, integrity, and hospitality of the Lord Mayor, he moved the thanks of the Hall. Mr. HUNT then stepped forward to second the vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor, and he did so because he considered that excellent chief magistrate most unequi vocally entitled to the gratitude of his fellow citizens. He (Mr-Hunt) wished to show, by the part he was taking, that, on the question of the Lord Mayor's claim upon the gratitude of the Livery, there is but one opi nion ; that Whigs and Tories, and Radicals, all agreed upon that subject, although they might occasionally differ upon others.—(Langbter.) Mr. Hunt then entered into a long detail of the manner in which the City's re venues were managed, and concluded by complaining of the way in which he was treated after serving the office of auditor for two years. The Loan MAYOR, amidst loud cheering, returned thanks. He expressed his high sense of the confidence which the Livery had placed in him, and of the good opinion which had been so unequivocally expressed. He had had to discharge duties of an onerous and difficult nature, and his fellow-citizens had approved of his exer tions. He regretted that he could not congratulate the Livery upon the condition of the poor during the eleven months which he had nearly accomplished in office. He could not say that any improvement had taken place— distress prevailed to a great degree. He knew that his worthy successor would do every thing in his power to assuage and mitigate the sufferings of the poor whom be should see in discharging his duties. After h win!: spoken in terms of high praise of the late Sheriffs, his Lordship said he should soon retire into comparative pri vacy, and that •he should do so with feelings o( the deepest gratitude and respect towards his fellow-citizens —(Cheers.) Mr. PEACOCK moved the thanks of the Livery to the late Sheriffs. Mr. STEV ENS seconded the motion, which was car ried unanimously. The Hall then broke up. Three little children were burned to death, by falling into a lime-kiln. at Kilgarean, in the county of Kerry, last week. They were literally burnt to a cinder.—Tipperary Free Prem.
