ACKERMANWS RRPOSITORT OF FASHIONS. In our notice of the periodicals on Monday we omitted Idates. timidly to introduce to our readers a new publication of Mr. Ac►sastawu under this title—the Number for June being the sixth only of the series. It is exactly what we would look for from suck a band—elegant, highly embellished, and essentially necessary for all Ladies of rank and fashion. The esqulsitelyfnished prints shown up in this valuable little publication exhibit the dinner and evening costumes of every true belle, cut and coloured to the newest fashion and most recent pattern—llnglish or Parisian. lite letter-press is brief but comprehensive—consisting of re marks on the figures which embellish the work and a private letter from Paris with general observations on the fashions of that City. There are few men in this country, perhaps no man, to whom the ans ate more deeply indebted than to Mr. ACESIIIIAMM there Is nn novelty, no freak, in the world of fashion that he does net shape out for the public edification in a few days after its ap pearance ; and in the various departments of periodical and ephe meral literature, be has, during a long series of years. contri►uted sn much to the amusement of his friends, that they could ill get on without him nnw.

A pleasing novelty was presented at this House last night, via. the performance in German. and by German singers, of a few selections from Wesea's Freisehiar. They consisted of three scenes, including the Incantation ; the characters by M. Rooms, M. Sawn, Madame ROSSIN and Matille. Scuwarrzaa. After the Overture, which we never heard more beautifully performed, the Opera opened with the Victoria Chorus, succeeded by the Waltz—both extremely well done; then followed " Through the Forest," by M. Roma, who sang this universally favourite air with a degree of pathos and expression which elicited repeated bursts of applause. The Selections were announced for repetition amidst greet approbation. Rowan% Opera of The Berber 4 Seville followed, in which Miss Foams sustained the character of Nosing; in a manner highly cre ditable to her own talents, and greatly to the satisfaction of the udience. The House was very thin until the half price. FRENCH PLAYS. The very varied amusement of last night at the' English Opera House, produced a great portion of the strength of the company. as it is called. We hair no less than burr pieces— the first was La Journle a vmailia, a Comedy of DUVAL*, which exhibited a very favourable specimen of the talents of ANNA U 1).•• But the great attraction of the evening was bladlle. JENNY V 's appearance in the next two—first came her spirited humourous performance of Minetts, in La Moue j owing to her inimitable acting, this strange production of M. Scaraa's imagina tion is a great favourite. The very pretty some of " Change, Change moi Bramah." was deservedly encored. This little scene owe, a great deal too to Lzenawri.who,we are sorry to ob.erve,prrfornss but once more. Yelps, ur EUrptelias Rouse, again brought forward VIRT. rae in a pantomimk character, in which, without hesitation we say it, she is unrivalled on any stage. The business of the night coneleaded with a wene from the streets of Paris, in which Luc:awns exhibits a specimen of the Tons's and Jerry's of nue St. Jacques. VAUXHALL• GARDENS. A propitious opening of those Gardens Monday night bespeak popularity for the season. 'Pie new arrangements are tasteful in the highest degree; and imiependem of the plays,the visitor to Vauxhall will find ample sources for whiling away an evening, or rather a night, with a great deal of pleasure. The amusements Monday night consisted of a concert in the Grand Orchestra, in which Mr. Wraeas distinguished himself, in all the glory of his Milesian brogue, to the infinite delight of a nu merous and respectable company ; and wherein Mr. WILLIAMS and Mr. ROBINSON were likewise mach ap plauded. Neat was produced what the bills call the Polkhinel Vampire, which gives the opportunity to a very agile performer of twisting hismelf into po.tures which no flight of our imagination could pi eviously an ticipate. Then came on the grand att►action of the night. the Italian comic opera of II Barbitre di Seviglia, in wh ch Miss FANNY A YTON and PELLSOKINI sustained the chief parts with very great ability. Thus amusing buffs was well received in the crowded Rotunda ; and. by the piesent selection of talented performer., is likely to become highly popular in these gardens. The pro strephic and hydropyric eshibition-.'or to speak plaiiity, the fire and water se..iks, which closed •the active part of the entertainments, were hailed with rapturous de light; and if new and splendid devices, William trans mutations, fountains, water-fall , , and purling streams, be acceptable to the visitor, he cannot tail to be pleased here. The manner in which this last act is got up and gone though, is truly astonishing. In the course of the pro menade, we have peeps at a great variety of Cosmora matt, all of which are exceedingly well painted. London by Moonlight. the York Minster on fire, Rouen, and a Dutch Herring Tower, are particularly attractive. About one o'clock the company partly retired; but by far the greater number qeietly seated themselves to those refreshments. which are plentiful " for a consideration," A military band in the orchestra, and a Scottish band in the Rotunda, playing alternately, till day-light warned the lingerers to betake themselves to those oc cupations which enable them thus to recreate themselves. The entertainments were repeated last night with if possible additional edit. Every thing went off well; and the season has thus commenced under the most encouraging auspices. There is a little anecdote told of the late Countess of Daisy soon after her nuptials, which charmingly pourtrays the native dignity as well as ingenuous modesty of bet mind. It is said she went to Miss I—, a celebrated milliner whom she had employed during her profession of the stage, to order a dress for her bridal presentation at Court. After captaining the fashios she wished, Miss I— proposed showing the intended ornaments in proper display ; and for this purpose, hurrying to a side door in the spsnment, that opened to same stairs, she called up to her work women," Bring me down Lady Teszle's hoop." The words were no sooner uttered, than the speaker stood abashed, trying to apolo gise, in muc► contusion, to the new Countess, who most amiably answere d. s miling, " Ne'VeT mind, Miss if It bad not been worn by Lad? Teazle first, irtry likely it woul d never have been wanted by Lady Derby." - _• .~ DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF OXFORD. The immediate cause of the death of th s Reverend Prelate was an inflammation of the longs, the consequence of a cold which he caught about four weeks ago. Dr. LLOYD was the son of an eminent schoolmaster of Peterley House. in Buckinghamshire, who sent him to Eton. From Eton be went to Christ Church,Oxford, where be was rewarded by the cele brated Cyril Jackson with " the Dean's Studentship." %Vhile he enjoyed a high reputation for his acquisitions and learning, he was appointed tutor to Mr. Secretary PeeL On an examination for '• honours" at the University, Dr. Uoyd obtained the first place; and, on a new modelling of the Mathematical Lectureship at Christ Church, he was appointed the Lecturer at a very early age. He afterwards became, la due course, Tutor and Coeur of his College. His reputation as a Clergyman extending wit► ►is academical honours, he was selected in £839 to succeed the present Bishop of Durham as Preacher at Lincoln's Inn. Shortly after- wards he was made Chaplain to the Archbishop of Canterbury, on the promotion of the present Bishop of Down and Comte. In lin he was appointed Begins Professor of Divinity in the Uni versity, and In 1827 was promoted to the See of Oxford. He was married in 1829 to a daughter of Colonel Stapleton, of Thorpe, in the county of Surrey, and has left a son and lour d-ughters. FIRES. Last evening, evening, chow seven n'elork, an cheating fire broke out in the sugar manufactory of Messrs. Friend and Roden. Fieldgate-street, Wbltechapel. Engines from all the London Fire Companies were very speedily on the spot, and succeeded, by great exertions, In saving the building from total destruction. The fire originated in the sugar stove used in drying the sugar, and for three hours burnt with great impetuodty ; it was, however. happily con fined to the manufactory, and did not extend to the adjoining dwelling house. The interior of the building, as well as the stock, has sustained considerable injury. Messrs. Friend and Rodeo are amply insured in the Sun, Imperial, Phenix, and Globe Insurance Companies. Last night, about ten o'clock, a fire broke out in the house of Mrs. Ann Hunter, High ►treet, Poplar. wbo carried on the bud. ness tif a haberdasher and linen draper. The lire broke out in the slop, and by the prompt attendance of the fire engines, which were then at the fire in Messrs. Friend and Roden 's sug r manufac. tory. Whitechsprl, it was confined to that part of the horse; but the stock was nearly all destroyed, or so seriously injured as to be rendered of little value. The owner of the premises severely burnt his hand in endeavouring to extinguish the flames. The destruction of lace, silk handkerchiefs, and other fancy goods, which were chiefly in the windows, was considerable; Mrs. Hunter is insured in the Royal Exchange Company. THE ARMY.

LOSS OF THE WOO DFOR D. TROM Tilt SOUTH AFRICAN ADVIPSTIsta. The Scipio, which arrived in this hay on Sunday last, had on hoard the Captain, passengers, and crew of the late ship Weodford, an East India free trader, which sprung a leak and foundered on the 14th of February, about 500 miles from Niadaga-car. The followiog account of this singular and fortunate escape from a watery grave is drawn up from the log kept by Captain Nilthank from the corn ' mencement of the gale which destroyed his vevel. On the lath of February the wind increased to a bard gale, with heavy rain ; Captain .lilhank took in the saiisen top gallant and royal yards, close reefed the topsails, and at p m reefed the fore sail; the gale continued to increase in violence, the fore and topsails and the foresail were fueled and stowed. At this time the wind was east, and the vessel was steering west ; the ve.ssl laboured under a heavy cross sea, and was pumped every two hours. About six o'clock a heavy sea struck her near the fore chains, which threw her athwart. She was then hove to with her head to the north, but pitched and rolled heavily, and shipped immense bodies of water, and washed the empty water casks adrift. At seven o'clock sounded the pumps, and found the vessel had sprung a leak, having three feet of water in the weather well ; worked the pumps constantly. At half-past seven a tremendous sea came in forward on the larboard or lee bow, which carried away the empty water casks, hen coops. hammock netting, and bulwarks. the. The water rushing aft stove in the lee side of the poop's front, filled the larboard quarter boat, so that they were obliged to cut her away. Part of the crew were at this time employed in heaving the cargo oserboard, to lighten the ship. At eight p. m. another heavy sea came in forward, and carried away the remainder of the front of the poop. together with cabin, bulk heads, doors, and medicine ch. at. At nine o'clock cut the topgallant yards away ; the leak increasing. 61b-boom carried away slow to the cap. At eleven o'clock a Ise.ivy sea cleared the poop cabins of all the passengers luggage. Twelve o'clock four feet four inches water in the hold. At one the wind chopped round to N. W. with a heavy squall of wind and rain. The ship falling off in the trough of the sea, gave a tremendously heavy lee lurch and shifted cargo. About two o'clock the weather a little more mos dente, but the ship rolled and made much water, and shortly after the larboard lower gallery was carried away At four o'clock the weather being more moderate. set the reefed foresail to wear ship, but Could nut get her round ; cut sway the micro mast. At day light AO feet and a half water in the well. The second rough tree stanchion being carried away, covered the plank with board and tarpauline; cut away the larboard bower anchor, and threw the chain cable overboard to assist in righting the ship. At nine o'clock the weather more moderate, but six feet and a ball water in the well.

Ordered the crew and passengers also into her, 3$ in number. At six o'clock the ship was com pletely water-logged, and bad ten feet water in the hold. Put the boat from alonpide, but could not save all the ship's papers. About three minutes afterwards the ship went down. The .boat being leaky, we were forced to keep two buckets constantly bailing out the water, and she was so crowded that nothing could be done but to keep her to the swell. At eight o'clock it became calm and clear weather, and continued ao during the night. Nest morning shaped our course towards Madagascar Cape St. Mary N.N.W. W. 450 miles distant. Lit. 29. 2. S.

The crew consisted of 35 persons, including the Captain and °dicers: there were four Fomenters—Mr. L. J. Ferwerder, Mr. and Mrs. Keiser, and Mrs. A. A. Faure.

No. 5, and he Argo, No. 8, did not contend for the Cu?. Every boat being at its respective station, as above described, the Commodore. about three o'clock, gave the signal, when they were instantly in trim, and all made way except the Rowena, which, unfortunately, having got into the eddy at the bridge, was delayed in consequence about three minutes. The Daphne took the lead, closely followed by the Spitfire and Rover, the others bringing up the rear. AtVaux ' hall, the Rover became snood boat ; but owing, we suspect, to her carrying too muck sail, the Spitfire again reaumed her original station, and was well up with the Daphne. In Chelsea Reach the Rowena was increasing rapidly on the headmost boats, when the Leander. in going about, fouled her, and the consequence was that the Rowena returned to Lambeth. At Wandsworth the Daphne was a board and a half a.bead of the Spitfire, with the wind blowing fresh from N. W. It was expected that the boats would not save their tide up, and consequently be obliged to return with out sailing the match ont. The Daphne and Sisitfire.k however, succeeded in rounding the boat at Humeral/11th. . They came down in style. but the latter boat was 4 tartest:feu of the Daphne, that she stood no chance, and she put hitopschea. goo.: of the other boats reached Hammersmith; and. on the torahs; of the • tide, they pet about, and returned to !heti respective statlistm— The Daphne canoe down in such i superior manner. that it was with dillcuhy we could keep way with her, and she arrived at Westminster Bridges few minutes before six o duals - amid the sheen of numberless spectators. Mr. Nelson, the Water bailiff, and proprietor of the winning boat, was rowed &Innis* the six oared cutter that contained the handsome prise, and reesi?ed the congratulations of the amateurs.
