LONDON, SATURDAY, Dacemsta 31, 18t& • 'We have received the Fkik of Thursday, with the hither Fans papers of Wednesday. The former contains, from the St. Petcrshargh Jqurnol, an official account of the proceedings in the Russian capital, on the arrival of the Min of the Emperor ALEXANDER'S death. The frontiers of the Empire were, according to custom, closed for seve ral days against the transmission of letters, as well as against the passage of travellers. The Etuik relates an anecdote of the new Emperor, for the purpose of showing his hatred of revolutionary principles, or rather, we think, of disloyal subjects. Considering the relation in which Maisie stood towards the military faction of BONAPARTE, there could be no doubt that CONSTANTINE felt in com mon with the rest of his family and countrymen. The anecdote proves nothing else. ?be French, it appears, are sedulously directing their attention to the state of their navigation. An eedinnmee has beat Maned for the institution of an impety into the eaves of the comparative dearness of French navigation. Committees have been formed at dm principal seaports, and a general revision of the tltsamercisl regulations of France is in a course of pre paration. (From du! Mogilev? of Wednestlay, Dec. 28.] The official part contains a Royal ordinance, which prescribes the regulations to b,t t.liscrscd for ftar.king letters and parcels by the post, deternlittirg the persons who have the right of sending or re ceiving letters or parcels by the post, free of postage. The ordi nance occupies the slide sheet of the .Ifoniicur. [From the Moils dated Thursday, I)ec. 29.1 • The Christiania Gazette of Dec. 8 contains the official news of a treaty concluded on the 9th Nov. lest, between the King of Sweden and Norway and the King of Great Britain, relative to the slave-trade. The King of Sweden engages t' cause penal laws to be passed u soon as possible oriiiist this traffic. The vessels which are suapecied are reciprocally liable to be visited by the ships of war of the contracting parties, and subject to confiscation in ease the suspicion should be well founded. Two tribunals shall be established, one in the Swedish island of St. Dartholemew, the the other at Sierra Leone, on the coast of Africa, to decide on the actions which shall be brought in consequence of the capture of ahipe, and to adjudge the indemnities to be given in cue of deten tions without due grounds. An Orli-once issued by the Superior Council of Commerce has instituted an inquiry into the causes of the dearness of the French navigation, compared with that of other nations. Coo•mit sea have been formed on ten of the principal seaports to collect accurate information on the subject, and to prepare the revision of our commercial regulations. To replace the troops which the Viceroy PCnds against the enmities of the Sultan, new levies are made, even in Upper Egypt, and all men fit to carry arms are tater. When they have reached the camp they are exercised without etas- NOW all the European manoeuvres, for which they ,how such an aptitude that in a short time they execute the movements with extraordinary precision, which surprises their instructors. The I' itch■ is resolved to have always a camp of 1100 men, well trained, and ready to march in ease of need. The expeditions which have hitherto been sent to Candle, Cyprus, and the Morn, amount in all to 24,000 men. _ _ . We read in a journal this mornim, that every body draws in. fermata from the accession of the Emperor Constantine to the throne of Russia. As for us, we have thought it sufficient to call to mind that this Prince has always manifested the most lively horror of revolutionary principles. The following anecdote, of the truth of which we can warrant the authenticity, is a proof of this:— A young French officer, taken by the Russians in the fatal ex pedition to Moscow, had obtained from the generous commisers. tion of the Grand Duke Constantine means to return to France. When that Prince came to Paris in 1814 this young officer waited on his benefactor, and was received in the moat flattering manner. The fatal 10th of March, 1815, having again brought the Russians into France, the young officer again hastened to pay his respects to the Grand Duke Constantine, but as soon as the Prince perceived Lim be cried—" Do not advance ! What have you been doing since I saw you ?"—" Your Highness, I am just come from Ghent." —" Well then, come and give me your hand ; I acknowledge you for a loyal Knight, since you maintain your faith to your legitimate Sovereign."

They notice, that at this moment fourteen vessels, of various sizes, for warlike purposes, are building in the Dutch dock-yards. Lord COCHR•NE, it is stated, has re solved to fix his abode for the future at Brussels. Why his Lordship delights in obscuring his designs so deeply in mystery we really know not. The Emperor CONST•NTINE, it appears, had quitted Warsaw for St. Petersburgh. BRUSSELS, DEC. 27. It is stated that the celebrated English Admiral, Lord Cochrane, who arrived at Brussels with his family some days age, seems rt. solved to fix his abode here. There are now building at Amstea dam, in the dock-yard of M. Meyer, a frigate of 700 ; in that of M. Knol, a frigate of two, and a frigate of 850 ; in that of M. Van Zwieten, a frigate of 800, a frigate of 400, a steam boat of 600, and a ditto of 5.50; in that of M. Burs, a frigate of 480, and a steam boat of 170; in that of Boelen and Co., a frigate of 1000, and one of 450; in that of M. de Graaf , a brig of 300; In that of listing and Co., a frigate of 400, and a brig of 400 tons : in all 14 vessels. FOASKTORT, Dsc. 23. Letters from Berlin, of the 18th of December, say that the Emperor Constantine has set out from Warsaw for St. Peters. burgh. The Court has gone Into mourning for three weeks, and the whole army for thee days, and the Regiment of Grenadiers of the Emperor Alexander will have a funeral service performed for Its Colonel. Prince William, accompanied by Colonel de Their, has set out for St. Petersburgh. Numerous couriers continue to pass through this city. The news from Greece begins again to be highly inter esting. Several important advantages have lately been gained to the cause of independence. The siege of Mis solonglii, it is already known, was finally abandoned in the middle of October, and KARAISKARI had subsequently attacked the Turkish encampment in that neighbourhood with brilliant success, and carried off a rich booty and many prisoners. By the German Papers which arrived Yesterslay, It appeals that the Turkish commanders had quarrelled, and that JIISSOW PACMA had been drys for not properly supporting the Seraskier, REDSON PACJIA. Meanwhile, victory attended every enterprise the patriots. General GouaAs, with some others .4 the orders of CONSTANTINE BOZZARIS, having resolved tfi drive the Turks out of Salons, attacked them in theft quarters, and, after killing a gaeat number of them, come pilled their advanced posts to take flight, leaving in the hands of the Greeks all their artillery, munitions of "sob, and baggage. This achievement recovered Salona, its inhabitants were returning to their dwellings. event had excited the enthusiasm of the Greek pep* lation, and under these circumstances, the rodkinfdlisq, of Misaolonghi had resolved to send for such animism, ort would enable 13OZZAI13 anti Gonass to attack the of R ense HID PA cilA on every side at once, and destroy it. The troops required had been furnished, and were proceed , . ing to join their comrades when the last &deices arm from Nlissolonglii. In the Peloponnesus nothing had taken place since this arrival of the Egyptian fleet. Every precaution had bees, adopted by the Greek Government in defence of the publit safety. Hydra, Spezzia and Psa.a bad been fortified, and the people of Candia had been supplied with every thing necessary to their maintenance against the enemy. The regularly-disciplined regiment formed at Napoli di Roma nia was increasing daily, and Colonel FA nvt sit was organ ising another regiment at Athens. At Gestouni a regular body of cavalry was forming under the directions of the Nea politan General Rosaaoe. The Greek General Berm had enrolled himself in the regular army, and all the pre judices at first so strongly felt against the introduction of regular discipline were at last disappearing; the Emcees of the Egyptian force under IBRAtiim PAC UA having quite convinced the Greeks of the necessity of conformhig to the advice of their military friends. The Gere,rnment have lately manifested great jealousy of the French Officers wbe: were assisting them. The intimacy subsisting between the French Governtueut and the Pacha of EGYPT has pro bably led to this feeling. From whatever canes, however, it may have arisen, it is carried to an extreme length. General Roma, and all the other Frenchmen, were sud denly dismissed, and Lieutenant-Colonel AIMICLT, who had just arrived with twenty artillerists, and all the ma terials of a cannon foundry, had suffered the mortification of having his services rejected. The proceedings yesterday at the meeting, if we may so call it, of half a dozen discontented shareholders of the Mexican Company, are worthy of notice, as an instance of the unfair means resorted to for effecting the dissolution of the Association. A few individuals obtain possession of shares in a Joint-stock Company; their object is present gain, by realising a premium on the Stock Exchange. It happens, however, perhaps from causes peculiar to the Company, or from the general state of the Mency Market, that no premium can be realised. These jobbers then turn round on the directors, and insist upon having their deposits returned ; and in order to carry their design into execution they calla meeting of the share hohlets, at which they hope to succeed in passing resolu tions in favour of the dissolution of the Association. They care not for the injury they inflict on the great body of absent proprietors. Presc'nt gain Was their object, and, fail ing in their gambling speculatiap, they wish only to ro cover their money in order that they may use it in IMO THE RITISFI PRESS. other adventure. We are glad that the clamotwbf indi viduals of this stamp has in this instance been raised in vain. CITY, FRIDAY EVERINO, The appearance of the Money Mat ket to-day was highly auspicious. The public are buying largely, and, in spite of the powerful combination for the full, the price of the British Funds advanced. Iteiliseed opened this morning at 81;. The detnalid was so great, that in a short time the quotation rose to I, at which, after some fluctua tions, it closed. During the early part of the morning Consols were neglected, bat in consequence of the scarcity of money stock, they advanced from 8111 to i. A re action then took place, and they gradually declined to K. At that quotation they were firm and steady. Si per cent. rose from 89. to , and Exchequer Bills to par. India Bonds were 3 1 premium. Bank Stock 215. Money was abundant, and Stock readily purchased. The settling on the Foreign Market has gone off very smoothly. The South American Securities have fully inaintained their value; and in Shares there has been more doing than for some time past, and at advanced prices. Colombian Bonds are 614 ; Mexican ditto, 634; Spanish Bonds, 12 ; Greek Bonds, 161. The Mexican Mining Shares were higher than they have been since the commencement of the late panic. Anglo- Mexican Shares rose rapidly from 7i to 1 7 ; new United from 9to 11i. Real del Monte Shares were selling at 170, and Tlalpuxahua advanced from 50 to 55. GERMAN PAPERS. Cosru, Nov. 15. Sussuf Nebo has been deprived of his office on the representa tions of Redacbld Pacha. It appears that in the various attacks upon 51issolonighi he did not support Redschid as he should have done. . . . The loss of Ibrahim ?ache, in his late excursion through the Mores, is estimated at 1.000 men. The French Lieut.-Colonel Arnault arrived. with 29 arillerists, and everything necessary for casting cannon, at Napoli di Romania, where he met with a good reception, hut accompanied with a posi tive declaration that the Government could not take either him or his companions into its service. Extremely dissatisfied. he then left the town with his peohle. General Roche and ilie French officers accompanying him have also been diacharted from the service of the Greeks, anti have already left Napoli dl Romania. The Nee politan General Rosarol, on the other hand, has gone from Zante to Napoli, on a seerial invitation, and is now organising the troops. All these mysteries and partialities have excited discontent in seve ral chiefs ; and Colocatroni has given up the command to Nikita, and left the army. Missot.ourri, Nov. I. A fter the defeat sustained by the Turkish army on the lOth of October it left its entrenchments before this town, anti retreated to the foot of the mountains, leaving only two detachments in the batteries erected at some distance from our fortifications. On the 24th of October, at midnight, our garrison threw some bombs into the camp of Redschid Pasha. As our soldiers perceived no motion on the part of the enemy, they left the batteries and proceeded to the camp, which they found deserted. They Immediately began to destroy every thing, and to carry away the materials. It was a sin guise sight to see the celebrated camp of Redahid Facile so entirely destroyed during the night. The enemy's works were immense, but for the Moir part-without any regular plan ; it was a labyrinth of works, erected without order and without reflection. The Greeks now walk unmolested out of the town, and the women roam about in the wide extent of the forsaken camp of the enemy. We hope that the damage sine by the enemy to our town and fortifications will soon be tepaired..—Etankfttet Papers to the 24th inst. A ~111 FREXCH PAPERS. [From the Etolle dated Thursday.) PADIS, DEC. 28. We have received to-day the St. Pctrrsbargh Journal of the 28th November old style, (Dec. 10.) It is enclosed with black borders, (In token of mourning), and contains the following Divine Providence, in its inscrutable decrees, has just visited the Russian empire with a calamity to 'ditch no language can do justice. A courier, who arrived from Taganrog on the 27th instant, has brought the afflicting newt of the death of the Emperor Alex ander. On the first news of tLis calamity, the august members of the Imperial Family, tlus Council of the empire, and the Illinisters assembled at the residence of the Grand Duke Nicholas. Ile first, and, after him, all the functionaries who were present, as also all the regiments of the Imperial Guards, took the oath of fidelity to his Majesty Constantifie the Firs.. w Arlie Mesita* has Jersiewrosewsigatadl on thilffereesetest, the Ukase, oferhich a translation follows: " The Minister of Justice, the General of Infantry, Prince La banciffßostowski, has communicated to the General Assemhly of the Directing Senate of St. Petersburgh, the deplorable news that his illajesty the Emperor Alexander has just, by the will of the Almighty, and after a distressing illness, died at Taganrog on the 17th Nov. (Dec. I.) The directing Senate, M a General Assembly, keying taken the oaths of fidelity to the legitimate heir, his Ma jesty the Emperor Constantine decreed the measures usually taken on such occasions for the notification of this event, and the takisrg of the oath of. fidelity to his Imperial Majesty." The German Journals remark, that the Russian frontiers have been for some days closed against travellers, and against letters likewlae, because, as they have learned, the Emperor Alexander died at Taganrog at the beginning of this month. A courier, sent off on the fah from St. Petersbnrgh for Vienna, has not been able to Wain permission to pass. Ile was obliged to leave his carriage, and to pass the frontier on foot. The post from Warsaw has not come in for three days. It is the constant usage in Russia on the death of their Emperors to place Thiene' on all the frontiers. In Prussia they shut up all the strong towns, and do not open them again till the Civil and Military Functionaries have taken their oaths to their new King. The Journal des nehals announces this morning, on the au thority of the l'ilote, that the King has granted a pension of 6,000 francs to the widow of General boy. We can state that it is but an invention of the l'llote repeated by our cotemporary. The Journal der Delvir does not know that to grant a pension above that which is fixed by the Ordinances for the widow of a General, the King must previously take the advice of his Council, and this advice must be founded on great services rendered to the King. We are Ignorant of the services of General Foy which would merit such an exception. (Front the Cowlitutionnel of Wednesday.) VIENNA, DEC. 17. It is asserted that the unexpected death of the Emperor Alex. ander has produced a very deep impression upon Prince Nletternich. Whatever the friendly relations, which have almost constantly ex. isted between our Cabinet and that of St. Petersburgh, may have been. it is here looked upon as certain that the great influence which our first Minister has for the last eight years exercised in the Russian Cabinet is now about to cease, and that other con nexions (more adapted to the true policy of Russia) are about to be formed. Latterly, the favourite project of our directing Nli nister, relative to the maintenance of things in states quo in the East, had already received several shocks. It was a consequence of this system that the Greeks should be again subject to the Turks. /his system was here stretched so far, that the plan of placing the Morea and the islands on the sante footing with demi% and Wallachia was not listened to ; and although the project of the Cabinet of St. Petersburg!), communicated to our Court in 18U, which was the ground-work of that plan, was not openly opposed, yet its adoption was impeded as much as possible. It is very natural, therefore, that the propositions of the British Cabinet, brought from London to St. Petersburgh by Lord Strang. ford, should hare been bkhly displeasing tit nor Prime Minister. Altlttwgls Me Yeteirof iTitse f mpositionx are not yet known yet sufficient is known to persuade us that they do not at all agree with the plan of letting the East be in the state it was previous to 1820. But what is still less Irked here is, the fact of the Russian Cabinet entering Into the 'leas of that at London, and that in the last nego tiations the oily things in dkpute were some modifications in Mr. Canning's project. Our Ministry were well informed of all that passed en that question at St. Petersburg)), through our Ambassa dor at the Court of Russia, 111. de Lel:where, who had not, how. cm, assisted at any of the conferences held relative to the affairs of Greece. The Austrian Observer of the 20th inst. contains an of ficial announcement of the death of the Emperor Alex. antler. The gentlemen of the City, who amused themselves during the late alarm with " the run upon the bankers," are now feeling the effects of their ridiculous and shameful conduct. We bare before us the names of three merchants who received letters from their bankcm, requesting the im mediate closing of their bank accounts. The Bank Directors are already reaping the fruits of their system of liberality : the number of new accounts opened at that establishment, in preference to keeping cash with private bankers, is exceedingly great, and we under stand new facilities, as to checks for small sums, are now given. In consequence of this great accumulation of busi ness, and the issuing of the one and two pound notes, the Director; have found it necessary to engage a great number of new clerks. Nearly eighty have already been employed ; and we understand the number must still he augmented. The Directors of the Bank have published the names of 31 gentlemen who are empowered to sign notes of 5/. and upwards, and 99 who are empowered to sigh the 11. sad 2!. notes.

A selection of sacred music, principally from the works of Haydn and Handel, was yesterday performed at this Church, with the view, as would appear, of exciting public attention to the acquirements of Master Benson, a young gentleman, whose vocal powers and attainments had already created a very strong impression in his favour among com petent judges of the art. The other vocalists who lent their assistaree on the occasion were Messrs. Pyne, G. Pyne, and Tinney. Mr. Topliff (the instructor of Master Benson) presided at the organ. „ . Sever - al . of the most popular and excellent pieces of Cathedral music were executed in a manner highly cre ditable to the performers, which could not fail to be pleasing to a numerous and respectable auditory. Among others we may mention Haydn's recitative, "In the beginning," which was very happily given by Mr. Tinney. In "He was eyes to the blind," Mr. G. Pyne deserves particular commen dation ; as does Mr. Pyne's execution of the recitative and air of " Comfort ye my people." The quartet, " And the Spirit of God," was delightfully sung by all the vocalists present : and the finale, " The heavens arc telling," pro duced an equal effect. Judging of Master Benson's powers from his mode of executing the solos, " I know that my Redeemer liveth," and " Angels ever bright and fair," we are disposed, not withstanding the difficulty of the tests, to augur favourably of his present attainments and future success. Consider ing this young gentleman's tattler years, his effort was one of considerable promise, alike creditableto-his talents and the care with which they have been cultivated and directed. His voice is pleasing, and of considerable power. In our opinion he will do well to persevere in the pursuit of an art in which he has already done much, anti where there arc so many indications of future excellence. Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of Clarence gave an entertainment to their domestics, their friends, and their tradespeople, at the Duke's residence, at Bushy Park. The Earl of Liverpool came to town yesterday morning at eleven o'clock, to his house in Whitehall, to meet some official and other gentlemen upon public business. Yesterday Prince Polignac, the French Ambassador, transacted business at the Foreign Office. Lord Maryborough, we are sorry to state, has been con fined to his room for the last fortnight back, owing to an accident which his Lordship met with while bunting with his Majesty's stag hounds ; in passing through a heavy swing gate opened by a boy, who let it g o b e f ore hi s Lord ship had cleared it, it came with great violence against his Lordship's leg, and severely injured him, but we are happy to state his Lordship is doing well, and nearly recovered from the serious injury he received. Lady Carrington, we are sorry to state, is seriously in disposed at her house, Whitehall. Sir Wm. Den,comhe has issued a notice to the freemen of Grimsby, in wl:ich he declares his determination to offer himself for the county of York, and consequently resigning the representation of that borough.

The lectures arc now given twice s-week at Albion-hall. Mr. Cromwell, who is, we arc given to undertuand, a lineal descendant cf Oliver Cromwell, will soon give a gratuitous course of • lectures on topography. Dr. M'lntyre, of Stockwell Park, Fellow of the Linnyean Society, is now lecturing gra tuitously on botany, and on the last lecture night, notwitb standing the severity of the s:•asou, made a tine display of plants. The Rotherhithe and Bermondsey Mechanics' Institu tion commenced its active operation on Thursday evening last. The Meeting was held in a neat chapel in Jamaica row. Daniel Brent, Esq., one of the Vice-Presidents, took the chair, and made a suitable address, pointing out the advantages which must be derived front an establishment calculated to make shipwright:, and other persons con meted with maritime architecture, scientific and otherwise intelligent. Some of the liberal and enlightened merchants of the vicinity are aiding hi this object, which is likely to succeed beyond even the most sanguine calculations. After the address, Dr. Mitchell gave a lecture upon the tcr reatrial globe, and received great applause and attention. We understand that Dr. NPlntyre, Mr. Elliott, Mr. Gil bart, Mr. Partington, and other friends of science have also undertaken to give gratuitous lectures. Several valuable donations of books have been received, and the number of members amounts to nearly three hundred. The fees claimed by the different officers on the passing of a Bill through Parliament are really enormous.

Females, poets, lovers, dcFght in duin b wage to the Graces ; public opinion leans to whaturee cute,g neral admiration, and the courtier and the accomplished ge,toill offer the ince:lse of their politeness to female elegance : the ea',,, modes, then, through the different seasons of t h e ye,, cornt. from the sources of superior fancy, aided by elegance end cup cause us now, with renewed pleasure, to pursue our manthly t ee of presenting them to the attention of our fair readers, the Nu t let of which, we ate happy to say, increases with our trauhth utt to 01 tuin their favour. The most elegant out-door envelop for the carriage is a boats Pyrennean mantle of bright amber levantine, lined wi t h vi taffety ; the sides and border elegantly quilted in ware N ai d tl whole cloak wadded throughout, either for the carriage nr th e Dr menade ; black velvet pelisses, fastening imperceptibly Sow s ', front of the skirt with gold springs, are much in requ.st ; sa g above coverings are the only real novelties In outdoor costuen the mountain wraps of fine cloth, the pelisses of arcs.d e ., lol and the large eachemire shawls, have received so little alter' at „ that they are not worth recording; except that one walking we b, struck us as a novelty, being of very line cloth of claret coital beautifully trimmed with light sable, an d t h e bilk pelisses fi st down in that concealed ingenious way that they appear like tou dresses. A home cornett, of a new description has appeared • it et:noir:l will not become all faces ; but w those matron s wh o are jag styled fine women, it is an appropriate home heathdreas ; it hat markably long lappets, edged round with handsome blond; s o d head-piece is trimmed with a profusion o f bl on d and bo ws or r , band of two different colours; the meet approved mila no via let colour and amber; one bow of each colour placed agsiao tb other ; it had a lively and pleasing effect. A dress ha: of whi t satin, edged with pearls, forms a beautif u l evening headrest. 01 the right aide the dress is fchancrie, and each equate &tidied b pearls : over the left side depend, as end-with rich taxed frin ge pose's ; the whole is surmounted by short featbera, of shaded saki let, beautifully playing over the crown and p art o f t h e brim. s. o eli white satin dress hats are crowned with party•coloured (tith e ," half of the feather scarlet, the other shaded blue. Foe home rot name, many ladies wear a French turban of pink crape, with &broil band of black velvet next the hair, and a bow and tassel of black e the left side. A new fluted turban, made of white or color satin, has been much admired ; this is another of those heathd e see that are not generally beeoming; being very large—lib:ref only on fine features do they look well: they are fluted in a re ingenious and novel manlier; the flutings brought forward, a they are so fiat in the crown as to discover the shape of the ba part of the head : from the centre of this crown is an ornament pearls, or other jewels capable of being drilled, and from then depend two long strings of the same over the left should in the Moscow fashion. A very beautiful black velvet ter of a new and becomirg shape, pleased us much better; though must be allowed that the head-dress we have been describing b on it a decided feature of high fashion ; and none but a female longing to that class, and who looks well in any thing, should sume to wear it. The black velvet turban is beautifully enri by strings of pearls, twisted o.er it ; or some ladies prefergold c don ; in either way, it is crowned with a plume of white mara feathers, or short ends of white ostrich feathers. The hair erre young persons is tastefully arranged in ringlets, elusive I curls, of bows ; simply adorned with gold chains, rows of pearls, ands fit full-blown flowers. Before we quit that exalted and beautiful portion of the hu frame—tile head, we roust say something concerning hats and nets: among the latter, fur walking costume, is oce very in ge.l unornantented, except by a single bow, of black watered gros naples. Black velvet hats are now become very general; tbo s i" the carriage, though rather large. are very tastefully trimmed many of them are ornamented with pink Win, and plum s cocks' black feathers ; with these hats a large bow sfaink as riband is on the hair under the hat, on the left side. We saw very beautiful hat, ordered from the sister kingdom, for rnornizi visits of ceremony, we suppose, from the wearer's ru,k. to a certai illustrious bride. It was of a delicate white gros.de-naples, in ti Valois shape, and beautifully ornamented with blond and ha opening roses, one of which blushing flower was placed bengal the brim on the hair : these are the chief novelties in the hat de partment, which imparts but few changes at this season of tr year : a charming little bonnet cap of black velvet, with bright C 6 loured riband, such as geranium or rose colour, must net to fu gotten ; it combines in itself (when worn over a corvette) a banns or, without the cap underneath, is an elegant home costars for the afternoon, tool with a plume of feathers, etcher black white, forms an appropriate head-dress for a friendly dinner party, we think, ourselves, that this tasteful head-dress should never II worn without plumage. Black is, as usual, at this season, much in favour at present wh our matrons ; but, as no one would wish in net a cloud over the fe tivities of Christmas, thy most cheerful ttrese• are in preparati and levantine, trimmed with roulcaux of crape entwined with nil are expected to be much in re nest.
