PROMMADE Daeu.—A pelisse, composed of dark violet co loured velvet; the body is tight to the shape, rather long in the waist, and a good deal sloped at each side of the back. The sleeve Is an easy width ; it is terminated by a French cuff; the pelisse wraps across in front, and is trimmed with satin of the same colour : it must be observed, that the little bands which separate the heading from the bottom, are of velvet, and that the trim ming goes all round the collar and cuffs, which are trimmed to correspond : the pelisse is lined with white sarsnet. A cachemire shawl is thrown over the shoulders, and fastened at the throat with a brooch. Lace ruff, made very fulL Head-dress, a bonnet composed of violet-coloured velvet, and lined with white satin ; the shape is very well adapted for walking ; it is rather close, but becoming. The brim, of moderate size, turns up a little, and is finished just under and above the edge with bands of white velours natty. A very full plume of violet-coloured ostrich fea thers is placed ou one side of the crown ; the strings correspond. Boots of violet kid. Limerick gloves. E rm i ne m uff. EVENING vases. A round dress, composed of blond net over a white figured satin slip. The eerier is cut square round the bust, and is ornamented with a wreath of Provence roses. The sleeves, which are very short and full, are of blond over white satin ; the fulness partially conceals the roses which form it into draperies. The bottom of the skirt is finished by a wreath of Provence roses placed near the edge. This is surmounted by a trimming of the same material as the dress : it is in folds; they are edged with white satin, and form cavities, placed at some distance from each other; a bouquet of roses is put in every ca vity. This trimming is at once tasteful, simple, and novel, and the general effect of the dress is uncommonly beautiful. The hind hair is arranged in braids and bows, which do not rise much above the crown of the head. The front hair is brought very low at the side of the face in light curls: the forehead is left bare, with the exception of a single ringlet in the middle. A coral wreath is placed rather far back. Necklace and ear-rings pearl. White kid gloves, and white satin -- - Repository. Fa emit, Wa.Lama bans.—Round dress of light willow-green smart, with two flounces next the hem; above which arc four tucks surlnJunted by a double flounce. The dress is made par. tially high, pclerine capes. Bonnet of white chip, ornamented with clover and gauze ribbons. Cachemire shawl of raspberry red, variegated border. Kid half-boots, the colour plum blos som. White gloves. Excrtsa Casataca Dank—The pelisse is composed of a Cachenitre of very rich appearance and effect, the colour of which is a fine cream-eolour. The trimming is of foliage of•grert beauty and simplicity, disposed with the most charming effect ; its colour is that of Ceylon ruby; the material of which it is composed is a very rich and elegant satin. The course followed by the foliage trimming is first down the sides of the pelisse, and thence round the border. The cape of this Imposing dress is made double, and is of the description generally understood by the term curricle-cape; it is also finished with a very handsome trimming of foliage, and has an elegant display of Hungarian military buttons, which are set at equal distances from each other. The whole of this singularly superb dress Is finished in a most tasteful manner by a falling cape-collar, of the same colour as the trimming already mentioned, viz. that of the Ceylon ruby, and its material, a Genoa velvet of great brilliancy and richness. The bonnets most generally worn with this carriage pelisse are of various fashions, as may be deemed most becoming to the va rying circumstances of age, figure, height, and all those nice dis , tinetiols which the eye of taste will catch, but which can scarcely be described.—La Belk Assembla. WALKING DlLEs3.—Pelisse of violet-coloured sarsnet, richly trimmed at the sleeves, cuffs, and at the bottom, with swans down : collar with folds of white satin, placed one above another; the sleeve tight to the arm, and finished at the shoulder with epaulettes very full, and composed of an intermixture of satin and silk, the same material as the pelisse: the skirt but toned close down the front, and trimmed at the bust with Bran denburga. White satin bonnet, with a superb plume of white ostrich feathers; coffre reticule of red 'Morocco leather, white Cashmir shawl, and Isabella-coloured kid half-boots. Erzkixc Dans.—Round dress of figured gauze, deep flounce of lace, surmounted with full puckered gauze, headed by a rou leau of satin, the same carried round the centre of the trimming: white satin cordage low, with short sleeves, epaulettes of deep Lice, richly intermixed with straps of satin piping; the whole - completed with a fine lace narrow quilled tucker. "Head-dress, the hair arranged a la Sevigne, with a bouquet of full-blokm roses on the left side. Necklace and ear-rings of large oriental pearls; white satin slippers, and white kid gloves.—Ludy's Mug. It is, perhaps, not generally known, that in the year 1703, the greater part of this street bore the name of Portugal-street. In the " .Nelv View of London," published in that year, a Portug,al•street is spoken of in. terms which could only be applicable to a continuation of Piccadilly. Thus Burlington House is said to stand on the north side of Pork. go!-Fire; t, near Piccadilly ;" and Berkeley House, on the scite of which Devonshire Rouse has been since built, is thus mentioned : " Berkeley House, a spacious building, on the north side of PuNtegol-4rect, near Piccadilly, with a spacious large Clurt, row in the occupation of the Duke of DEVONSHIRE. The house is built of brick, adorned with stone pilasters, and an entabla ture and pediment, all of the Corinthian order, under which is the figure of Britannia finely carved In stone ; and, at some dis tance, on the cast side of the Court. is the kitchen and laundry ; and, on the west side, stables and lodgiug-rooms, which adjoin to the mansion by brick walls and two circular galleries, each elevated on columns of the Corinthian order, where are two ambulatories." Again, in the list of streets, we find further in stances of a denomination now obsolete: " Albemarle-street a street of excellent new building, Inha bited by person► of quality, betwden the fields and Par[ugat &reel, right against the N.W. end at St. lunes's-street. " Arfinvo w n-street, a very graceful and pleasant street of ex cellent houses, inhabited by Nobility and Gentry ; it looks W. into St. James's Park, and runs parallel with St. James's -street, out of Portuge-street. " PORTUGAL-STREET.—A very spacious street, between the road to Kensington and Piccadilly; length .560 yards." This last quotation enables any one to. determine where Piccadilly then ended, and Portugal-street began. The adoption of the latter name for the newer buildings should seem to shew, that they were begun to be raised while CATHARINE of Portugal was Queen Consort—or before DWI.. In the well known Map, or View of London, as it existed in the reign of ELIZABETH, the whole of the present Picca dilly is marked as " The road to Redinge." FREEMASONRY. BRISTOL, OCTOI3ER 27. At the Masonic Hall, in Bridge -street, on Monday last, was held an Encampment of Rose Crucians— Companion RICHARD Smirn, G. Commander, when nine Knights, from the Camp of Baldwin Time Im memorial, were admitted into the Conclave, and in stalled in ample form. The Comm - anderies of the Nine Elect—the Scotch Knights—the Knights of the East and the Templars, being present in lull costume, exhibited a brilliant scene of splendour, which has never been equalled in -Bristol, nor indeed, we believe, in any part of the Kingdom—this Province being, in the higher depart ments of Masonry, confe.sedly superior even to the Metropolis itself. Several Companions joined the Encampment from Bath, Gloucester, Bet keley, and Hereford, and expressed themselves very highly gra tifiel and de.ighted. After the conflicts with the Saracens in Palestine, the Sir Knights made a crusade to Burnham's, at the Montague, where they did (not) . a Carve at the meal a With gloves of steel; " Or drink the red wine through the helmet bare d;' But having laid their armour by— " The bells (for John) were'rung, " And the glee was sung. " And the feast cat merrily, merrily!" In the centre of the table was a noble Sir-Loin, surmounted with a banner of the Royal Orders, and the following inscription: Brothers ! Sir Knights! your visors lift, and see Where Britain's-regal glory dwells with me. Turtle avatuit ! and mincing French ragouts, Fit only chops of sucklings to amuse! The good OLD ENGLISH BARON here I sit, Dropping with gravy from a Burnham's spit; And since here's neither Saracen nor Turk, Out with your hl.:des, and tall on me to work : FU give you battle! bear yourselves like men ! Cut all ! cut richly !—a cut and come again !" The day being the anniversary of the ever-memo• rable victory of Trafalgar, " The memory of that glorious Knight, Sir Horatio Nelson," was drank with appropriate solemnity. Wednesday, at a Meeting of the Town Council of Edinburgh, a letter was read from the City Cham berlain, stating, that for many years past hair powder duty and other taxes had been pail by the town . for its servants here, and for those in the Shore Dues Of fice, Leith, which it turned out wee not exigible. He had discovered an Act of Parliament exempting the gude town as a Corporate Body from such charges. Upon representing the matter to the Com missioners of Taxes, they had admitted the town's claim to exemption. The Collector, however, wishing to have the matter settled by the highest authority, had appealed to the Barons of Exchequer, who had ' confirmed the judgment of the Comaiiisioners. The result was, not only that the town would be at no expense in future on this account, but that it had a claim for upwards of £5OO, thus overpaid, which would no doubt be recovered. In our first introduction to a person, there is no. thing conveys to the mind a stronger impression than the Teeth. A fine set of Teeth identifies health, cleanliness, and beauty; but from yellow, black, or carious Teeth we turn with loathing and disgust. Tu all who with to preserve or beautify the Teeth, HUDSON and Co. recommend their BOTANIC TOOTH Pownea, as a sure remedy and preventive for all Disorders of the Mouth: it not only cleanses, whitens, and beautifies the Teeth, but pre. serves theta from decay to the extremity of age. It fastens Teeth That are loose, prevents the decayed rowing worse, re. moves the tartar, and cures the Scurvy in the Gums, leaving them firm, and of a healthy redness. It sweetens the breath, is an antidote for gum-biles, swelled face, and the tooth-ache; and the Proprietors warrant, that, if used regularly, a tooth will never decay, and the tooth-ache will not be known; and though so powerful an antiseptic, it is entirely (see from acid, and so in nocent, that a child may take the contents of a box.—Sold, price 26. 9d. by James Atkinson (wholesale Agent), 44, Gerrard street.
