Yesterday we reeved New York Papors to tbst 9,1 inn They COStain no intelligence of importance. The fol lowing are extracts:— From the Nes York Gazelle at July 1.1 BIAZIL.—The ship Phebe Ann has an at New Bedford' Iftrala A* Janeiro, bringing advice, to thlt 41st of May. The Captain states that a Government brit arrived on the INK in six days from Montevideo, with despatches announcing that a revolt had broken out in that province. A General who fermsely meted tinder Aregas was at the head of the Revolutionists, and bad planted his standard around Montevideo. The Gemini connelNel., ing in this City stated he had not 1000 men on whom lefessld depend. In consequence of the above intelligence, the Rupseor laid an Embargo at Rio, prohibiting any vessel dcpaning, based to the South, and was embarking sixteen hundred troops, srlth • General, to supersede and take the command at Montevideo. 4t Pernambuco, oo the 19th of May, ao Officer named Fulan i who was engaged in the Rebellion, was hung by order of the Em peror. It was feared others would meet the same fate. Last,,.—Our Correspondent bas furnished us with intelligence from Lima to the last of March, received via Panama. Called was still in ponession of the Spaniards ; wits blockaded by seven men of war, and besieged with 4,500 troops under Bolivar in person. A letter from a gentleman in Chorillos, to his friend in Wish ingtnn, states, that Bolivar has expressed his determination to hang Reedit and all his band, as soon as the Castles ara taken. (From the Kerr York Daily Advertise , of June 271 The Legislature of Georgia adjourned on the 11th instant, with out fixing any time to meet again. Mr. Lumpkin's Report from the Select Committee, re-echoing the sentiments of the Governor's Message, and recommending a division of the Union, ass not taken up in either House; as many Members are opposed to the spirit of it, even among the anti-Indian party. Mr. O'Co NNELL is, at length, beginning to perceive that to be the leader of a party is not precisely that enviable post that, in the fondness of anticipation, he had imagined . lit to be. He seeks to be emancipated, and even hints his ' willingness that through the influence and aid of his i" friend Cos HETI" his release could be brought about, " I wish," says he, very pathetically, " he could deprive, rte of my leadership' among the Catholics; I assure him . it is a very troublesome commodity." This we can readily Ibelieve, it is a commodity, however, which, we should think, would easily find a market. There is seldom want of bidders at the auction of popularity ; cela we ere roil pas sourent ; in the cause of any party, or sect, or faction, of any kind, the difficulty is to get the lead, not to get rid of it. There never yet was a man loaded with power and authority, of whatever sort, but he could find candidates without number willing to take the burden off his hands. But we suspect that Mr. O'CoNarti.i, in offer ing up his prayer to his " friend CODBITT," is not quite sincere, and that likeithe . countryman in the fab!e, that in voked the aid of DEATH, when he came in good earnest to, his assistance, he would return his courtesy with Many thanks, but decline to trouble him. The Rev. Mr. KINSELLA'S long letter to the DeLlia . Evening Post seems to have been the first provocation that has brought Mr. O'CoNNELL to a sense of repentance, and made him feel uneasy in his seat. lie certainly, and some what to our surprise, interlards his remonstrance to his Reverend assailant with an ample share of adulation. Courtesy, even in its excess, is an amiable quality ; but it has its times and occasions. There is a manliness of tone which unjust accusation justifies ; and in repelling ca lumny, the language of compliment is out of place. So ap plied, it bears the stamp of insincerity. Mr. (Kos NELL'S anxiety to display " the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit" is overwrought. Ile would seem to tread &sir shoed with felt, like Lear's imaginary troops of horse, in the sa cred presence of the Rev. Mr. KINSELLA, lest be should for a moment interrupt the repose of his conscience, or give the slightest disturbance to his contemplations. Al though feeling, avowedly, " all the bitterness of reproach" which the holy father had cast upon his character—al- though manifestly indignant that " without any previous inquiry he should be treated in print as an asserter of false. hood, and proved historically and chronologically to be a liar '—enough of all conscience to curdle the milk of man kindness in the veins even of an Irish saint : and sitting down to reply, as well he might, "in the spirit of i humiliated pride and mortified vanity"—yet such is the enviable ascendancy of his mildness, under all this provo cation, that he dreads nothing so much as the appearance' of having taken offence at it. " Let me not," says he,'' be mistaken ; let me not be supposel to utter reproaches ; but I have a right, in the bitterness of sorrow, to complain, that at such a period as the present those who, no mater from wise motives, seek to destroy that unsttimity, to which mainly our chance of success depends, should be able to wield the came, and use the labours of so'truly excellent a person as the Rev. Mr. Kinsella against me, and against those who, with me, are strug. filing to keep our forces together for the day of constitutional battle against the common enemy." It is delightful to see how manageable the passions even of an Irish leader arc vpon paper. How admirable could a crowded assembly awaken Mr. O'CONNELL to the same acme of tligii:ty, and induce in him the same moderation ! What an exemplary triumph would this Christian spirit display in the Catholic Association, and what a lecture would it read to Mr. SIIFIL and the rest of the Irish orators who arc at present striving to be foremost in thence for Popularity ! The loss of that influence which belongs to the Rev. Mr. Kisscl.LA, of Carlow College, would no t I doubt be at this juncture severely felt ; it is an influence I which no Catholic leader can well afford to lose, and this may well account for any sacrifice of resentment made to `retain it. If, however, Mr. O'CONNELL is truly, and, fram his heart, tired of the intrigues and inconsistencies of faction, and if lie is honestly disposed to retire from them, the means of his so doing are not far to seek. We would hint to him, however, tat if, like the lion, he has get entangled, Mr. COEBETT is not the animal to whom be can safely apply to gnaw the net. Ile is ill provided, indeed, if he has not infinitely better resources in his own good sense than are to be found in his gratitude, let the service he owes be what it may. He would only do, more speedily, under his tuition, what—unless be conducts his leadership very differently—lie is in a fair way to do with out, sad that is—to lose one party witi..out gaining the ether. CITY, FRIDAY EVESITIO. Although the inhabitants of London are at present charged with upwards of 2cli. a pound for household bread of the best quality, still the Cornfaciors in 31ark.lane hind it impossible to effect sales of w heat to ary extent, even at a considerable deduction from its nothiral quotations. The principal millers are generally holders of the Foreign wheat which was admitted for home consumption by the Act of the Legislature, which received the Royal assent on the 22d ult. acid they cannot &Word the best samples of free Dantxic wheat, after payment of the duty of 10s. per quarter, and the heavy expenses which have attended it during the three years in which it has been bonded under his .Majesty's lock, when con verted into flour, much under this prier. Thuil the agricultural in. r rest sutras by laws intended fur its protection; for until the con s town; dispose of the free Foreign wheat at something like a saving rice, their purchases of British wheat will continue to be trivial. This is, however, not the only injury wide' the people of the United Kingdem, in conjunction with thelanded interest, suffer from these antinatioral restrictions on the free importation of Cie necessaries of life. Twenty years ago the test samples of Essex wheat always commanded a higher price in Mark.lane than , 1 the bra Polish samples. A great proportion, however.'of Essex kat resent worked out, in consequence of the great inducement which high prices held out to the farmers to overwork the land during the , time they have possessed a monopoly of the supply of grain ; and Es ex wheat is now not only not ready so valuable as Polish, bu t ' generally is even inferior to the growth of Suffolk. The tended in_ t erest has been for a few years gaining nn additional income at the expense of their own estates, and the consomption of groin has at the same time been limited by its excessive value. It may he said. however, that Lincolnshire and Voikshire lave teen improved in a ratio equal to the decline in the value of the soil of what lately were the agriathural counties of England. In as far as the p.a.:onion N of a larger qualetlty of grain and of bona truly consatutA h. provemattf - go doubt the valie of she meths= COSlniell has been empii \ enhanced, but then they require a high virile= cf manuring with rape-cake and grinded bones, and the value of the imp. can only be maintained by high prices of grain. If Lineobilliki and Yorkshire now produce more corn than they rod is do, this is at the expense of the breed of cattle and let In proportion as the growth of grain has increased, the pis dualists of feeding has declined; and here again the value of agricultural property has been injured by the Corn Laws. Wiwi does it happen that a good horse st present costs more than during the wildest period of the late destructive war ? Why does it happen that year-old cattle sell at six to 'even guineas each ? but because the temptation to grow corn, which the monopoly created, Induced the farmers to throw grass fields into corn fields, and to neglect a most important department of agricultural property. The interest of the landed proprietors requires that some modification should be made in the Corn Laws during the next Session of Par- 1 nascent, and the just rights of commerce also demand a revision of them. In the old age of s Parliament, however. no real improve. ment can be expected; for such Is the prejudice, or rather ignorance of the free and independent constituents of County Members, that any of them who ventured to vote for a repeal, or for • modification of the Corn Laws, would assuredly not be re-elected when his Ma- jnty sent them back for the approbation of those whose feelings , they were sent into the Parliament to represent. A dissolution of the present House of Commons is rendered almost necessary, for a 1 business so important as the Corn Laws are cannot be properly discussed in the last Session of a Parliament. It will require the vigour of • new one to do ample justice to this now almost only question necessary to the rapid improvement which is now spread. ing its beneficent influences over nearly the whole of the civilised world ; and this probably is the only reason which induces many to look for a dissolution of the Parliament in October or November next. With real freedom to trade, nations may look forward to I great prosperity, and none more so than the United Kingdom where industry is true value, sod. where capital and manu facturing machinery give the inhabitants great aslvantages, Under such a system the grate" Abs quantity of manufactured of produce, or of specie, which England can spare to sopply wants of other nations, the greater must be her internal pro. vpseity, and no private interest should any longer be permitted to stand in the way of general improvement. Agriculture will gain even more by free trade than any other interest. for it will be ren. dcred more valuable as property increases. Trade will increase capital, and the more money abounds, the higher must be the value of landed property. In proportion as the abundance or money re duces the annual interest to be received from it the more value will be attached to every description of tangible property. The price of corn also cannot decline below the expense necessary to produce it in the United Kingdom, fur the experience of more than half • centary teaches that it cannot be grown in any part of the Continent at prices so much below those of England as to admit any great profit on its importation, after paying the expenses attending its transport. The Hamburgh mail of last evening sailed yesterday morning from the Thames, in the Hylton Joint steam ship. This is a great improvement, as the passage will be made in about .50 hours, and the expense to the Post office mus: be much less than by employing one of the Hfirwich sailing packets. The Duchess of Kent, accompanied. by the Princess Feodor, attended by Capt. Conrov, left her Royal High ness's residence in the King's Pa.ace, Kensington, ahout one o'clock, to meet her beloved mother, and to acco:npany her to Claremont. The Dowager Duchess of Coburg was expected to arrive at Claremont yesterday afternoon, on a visit to her son Prince Leopold. Sir Henry Seaton, Prince Leopold's Equerry, left Lon don last Tuesday to proceed to Calais, to attend the Dow ager Duchess to England, and to Claremont, the country residence of her beloved son. Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, Mr. Canning, as his Majesty's Principal Secretary for Foreign Affairs, held a levee for the Fort ign Ambassadors and Ministers at the Foreign Office in Downing-street; among their Excellen cies present were—Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Am bassador; the Prussian, the Swedish, the Netherlands, the Spanish, the Danish, the Sardinian, the Neapolitan, &c. Mr. Canning gave pt irate interviews to each of their Excellencies. The Chancellor of the Exchequer came to town yester day morning from his house at Beckenham, in Kent, and after transacting business at the Treasury returned in the' evening. Mr. Huskisson transacted business with Mr. Canning! yesterday at the Foreign Office. On '1 Intraday Mr. Huskisson had a numerous grand dinner party at his house in Somerset-place ; among the company were—their Excellencies the Prussian, the Rus sian, the Neapolitan, and the Spanish Ambassadors and Ministers, and .a numerous asaemblage, of other distin guished personages. We have the pleasure to announce that Sir 'William Curtis returned to Ramsgate on Tuesday last, from his Baltic expedition, and arrived in London on Thursday night, by the steam packet, in high health and spirits. MAIMIAGE tx Ilion Lirt:.—By special license, at Abbeyliex Church, in the Queen's County, on Tuesday, tae 2talt of July, by the Rev. John Stokes, A.M , Vicar of Cobham, in the county of Kent, Lord Clifton, eldest son of the Earl of Darnley, to Emma Jane, third daughter of Sir Henry Parnell, Dart., and niece of the Earl of Port arlington. Among the company present on this interesting occasion were—die Earl and Countess of Darnley, Viscount and Viscountess de Vesei, Lady Elizabeth Bligh, Sir H. Parnell, Bart., the Hon. and Rev. lVim Wingfield, Hon. and Rev. Arthur Ve!,ey, Mrs. Nresey, Hon. Charles Vesey, and the Rev. Mr. Newcombe. On leaving the church, the party proceeded to Abheyliex House, the seat of Viscount de iresci, and partook of an elegant deimar, immediately after which the happy cauple set off for Clifton Lodge, in the county of Meath. Dua b.—A duel, which it is feared will prove fatal in its consequences, was fought on Thursday morning, on Craw ! ley common, between a eentltantai of the name of Elphin stone and a Mr. Barnard. The meeting was occasioned by a dispute about a lady. The first fite had no effect, but in the second Mr. Elphinatone was wounded on the side of the right breast, and the ball was not extracted, although attended by Mr. Banks, a professional gentleman. The parties are distantly related. Mr. Birkbeek, the author of a book of travels in the United States, and known as an emigrant to Illinois, was lately drowned on his way home from Mr. Owen's settle ment at Harmony. The Backwoodsmen, it is said, had given him the name of " Emperor of the Prairies," in consequence of his buying 16,000 acres of public land at one purchase.—.4merican Paper. TUE LIVINGSTON CODE.—The Code of Civil Law, pre pared for the State of Louisiana, by Mr. Edward Livingston, having beenplacetlin the hands of all the Magistratta and other Officers of jtfic State, was publicly and formally I promulgated at New Orb nits on the 20th May, to go into effect in one month from that date, and accordingly it be came the law of the State on Monday last, the 20th instant. j Louisiana thus erjJys the honour of having made the first effective movement in the work of Jct.-Jai r:forni, and was fortunate in possessing a citizen so well qualified to fulfil I the important design which the Legislature of the State had the wisdom to adopt and peisevere in. Itsvrsur A aI:A NC.F.MENTS.—I t bas been determined by the Board of Commissioners. that the present Collectors of Excise of' Cork, Waterford, Limerick; Derry, and Bel fast, shall retire on compensation annuities for past services, and are to be severally succeeded by Messrs. Ward, Smyth, Bridgewater, Plant, and Thompson, English gentlemen at prca6tet acting as Inspectois-General. All the other Collec tions, it is expected, will be disposed of in a similar man lier, in the course of a few days.—Dublin ELT:ling 011.:ANIC Rtmaiets.—Our attention was called yester day evening, by a distinguished fellow -townsman, to a piece of sand-stone from Bratnley-fall, now lying at the Central Market. It has been brought there for building purposts, but is certainly well worthy the attention of the Geologist and the Naturalist. The block is in length about sic feet, of nearly a rotund form, resembling what it plainly was originally, the trunk of a tree, exhibiting on j the stir. face a strongly defined corticular texture, and at the thicker end, a bifurcation, evidently referable to the junction, or rather •separation, of two large Literal roots. From any prenure to which it has been subjected, a transvars: sec tion would appear eliptical, but if spherical, the diameter above the radix ntight be about 14 inches. Tbe gereal appearance indicate it as the petrifaction of a tree of the class of palms. Upon the whole, we recommend this ,sprcinien of former organization to the notice of the curi ous and scientific. It is the most perfect one of the kind yet &cost:red in this district.—Leeds Intelfze-ccr. t HAY:VARY T I% ATR r. A new comedy, entitled Quite Ccrred, was last night produced at this theatre. The plot is founded on one of our school-bay stories, and is simply this :—Sir Harry Dartkd (Mr. Vining), a gay and dissipated baronet, has been for many years separated from his wife, who, under the name of Mrs. Lot emore (Mrs. Davison), happens, with her daughter (Miss P. Glover) to res)lc at the satre inn with her husband. Henry rim' (Mr. Raymond) is the lover of the young lady ; the baronet endeavours to make a breach between them. partly to forward his own views, and partly to prevent his friend from marrying one whom: he guppies to be an obscure individual. He, therefore, writes to his daughter to meet him at a given hour; the invitation is accepted by the rung lady, who is made f.cqusMteal with the fact of his being her father, and the jealous lover being informed of this circumstance is of course driven to desperation. The father and :he daughter meet, and the denouement takes place, Which unites the husband and the wife, and the lover and his lady. The story of the drama affords many opportunities for the in troduction of striking and effective scenes, and they have in sonic instances been taken advantage of. The piece, however. has been evidently written for the purpcse of , introducing Mr. Liston, as the landlord of " The Impe rial Hotel" where the parties meet, and where all the events take place. In every scene Grzjau, the innkeeper. is intro duced,and effects wonders with the audience solely by means of his own talent, in making the most of significant looks, nods, and gestures, and blunders ; for the author has left the part barren in the extreme. Indeed the piece altogether Possesses but little merit, and unquestionably owes its success to the admirable acting of Mr. Vining, Mrs. Glover, Mrs. Davison, and in particular of Miss P. Glover, and the broad original humour of Mr. Liston. At the close of . I the comedy Mr. Liston came forward, and said he was re cinsted to inquire of his auditors whether it would be " citlile Correct" to repeat this performance to-morrow evening. The reply from all parts of the house being I perfectly to his satisfaction, he bowed and retired. B 11 - 1 oil TON RACES. THURSDAY-CONCLUDED. The Downs to-day presented the moat numerous attend ance ever known, and never has a day's sport passed over with more unqualified success. The three races were ad mirably contested, and though two of them terminated contrary to the expectations of the betting men, they were highly praised. His Royal Highness the Duke of York arrived cn the Downs a few minutes before 2, on his favourite grey cob. and was received with the acclamations of the spectators. His Royal highness was dressed in a plain blue frock, and was attended by a single groom. Ilis Royal Highness re mained on the course some time after the races, to settle the arrangements for Friday. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (who during their stay here have laid aside the pomp and ceremony of station) joining promiscuously in the group of pedestrians, and occasionmlly visiting the different shops and repositories, making purchases, &c. were present, and did not quit the course till after the first heat for the plate. After the running for the Gold Cup, it was exhibited to the public from the judger' stand, and was much ad mired for the exquisite neatness and chastity of its execu tion ; it is certainly a very chaste six:chum, of art.

The play this evening was Wild Oats, and attracted a very fair audience.

BETTING.—Before it was known that Oanymetle wag not to run, the odds were 2 to I on him; but on Lord George Cavell:. dish intimating that his horse was lame and would not start, the odds immediately turned to even betting, and S to 4 on El Dorado. A prettier race could not have been run than this was between the taro first; it was very truly run. Lord Egremont's hoise took the lead nt starting. and kept it tar a third of the ground, when Frog. more had nearly fetched him: laying close in his quarter. (In making the hollow just before the turn, it was evident that El Do. ratio was dead bent, being some leng.hs behind. On rounding the corner the two others were head and head. and thus placed they made a beautiful race, till within ten yards of home, when Lord Egremont's shot ahead, and won the race by half a length, rode by 3lr.

Ahout twelve o'clock this menifig the company began to shape their course to the DOWIIB, and the different roads leading to them were covered ; the dust, however, made the road very unpleasant. Long before the r"ces began the course was covered with equipages, from the splendid harouche to the fly, equestrians, pedestrians, Re., and it is generally allowed that a greiver concourse was never before assen Voled cn it. The ground was in ex cellent condition, and the arrangement of the bootha, which were in a distinct line apart from the comm., was admi rable. His Royal Highness the ILke of York liss just arrived on the course amidst the acclamations of the spectators, having in the early part of the morning taken an airing on horseback on the East Cliff, dressed as yesterday.

[From the !Mild of Fashion.] Cheerless would be the tank we have undertaken, during a mo dern summer. if Fashion's ligh!est votaries, by quitting the metro. pnlis for a few months, left un without resource by theirdieor. tinning to employ their tasteful marchandes de modes in their usual elegant avocation of adding grace to native beauty, and in concealing, by becoming attire. those deficiencies where nature iris not been so peculiarly bountiful. We are happy, therefore, in stating, that we have the ptinie source of fancy and invention to resort to, which affords us the power, at all seasons, to supply our fair subscribers and distinguished patronesses with every change is fashionable costume. London, when it begins to thin, becomes empty rapidly ; and at the latter end of July, those who frolotten for a settled period only in town, pant after the freshness of country air and the attractions of the different summer haunts of our nobility and gentry. The newest coitTeure for the half dress i: a beautiful cap of tile fiche kind, being of both the lappet and the former description, but an evident improvement on both : the lappet cap was too flat on the head, and the fichu-neglig6 looked well only on fin e hair; this attractive head-dress, which we are about to describe. is rather more elevated: it is formed of a half.handkerchief of tulle, edged with fine blond, surmounted by a narrow rouleau of white satin; one point is brought over the forehead : the rest of the kerchief farms the caul, and the two ends arc brought on one side, whence they depend gracefully : the lappets are not very long, and the rap is elegantly ornamented. in general, withfitil blown roses, thought many ladies prefer the pomegranitr blossom. The dejeune cornettee, whether of blond or lace, are much improv. ed by cheviots ',sing lined with blue.pink,or other bright suntrncrco. lour ; if a lady suffers a few ringlets to peep beneath hermorning cap next the fare, the hinder locks are frequently en ',vitiates; the whhed-brown paper of which does not look well through the thin lace caul, besides, the coloured lining renders these chine caps more becoming to the complexion. In full dress, silver flowers am Ire quently introduced, Jimmie others on the has of young persons ; to ears of corn, the silver looks well, particularly on turbans ; but we do not otherwise much admire its tinsel-like appearance; gold is infinitely more becoming, and is adopted by many ladies in or naments for the hair. White and red roses, in beautiful wreaths, have been very prevalent lately as head-dresses for the ball.roont. Diamurds and valuable jewels ate worn by ladies of rank, in their hair, in grande eattume; and the turbans of matronly ladies are richly interwoven with line pearls. Dress hats, made of tramp ; rent crape, are expected to be much in request this summer. Bonnets of sparterie, bound and tied with pale pink satin ribbon. are in high favour; they arc ornamented across the crown, in bias, with several wreaths, at equal distances, of double pink hyacinths, with their foliage. An elegant transparent bonnet, of pink stif fened net, is much admired for the carriage : the brim is quartered by spatula ornaments of pink gauze, puckered at the part that hes next the brim; a large hunch of mountain heath, the blossoms il green bud, and ingeniously fabricated of Mather,. is placed in front of the crown. towards the left side; a portion of which Mils over the brim. A hat of a new and improved kind hat excited univeral admiration ; and it is likely to be much patronised as the summer advances: it is trimmed with lemon.roloured gauze on the brim, en firs de cheval ; but this trimming doea ni t advance quite to tree • , edge of the brim; it is boned with satin of the same colour. and I tastefully adorned with African and French marigolds, with a I profusion of green foliage. Striped silk of various summer coledus are in great requisition for indf-dresa : they are made partielle high, and the sleeves tun.. I derately full ; they are trimmed mend the border of the skirt ! with large puffs, each puff confined by orraments en papillons, of the same materials as the dress ; the wings separated by a fluted ring of silk. Black lace deems have been seen at some very distinguished evening parties, over rose-coloured ; satin, and on the border of thz lace dress, there festoons of 1 artificiol roses : hall dresses are of white tulle ornameated I with /Livers, often mixed with gold or silver wheat-cam : • the corsages of white satin, made plain, but trimmed round the bust with a falling tucker of rich blond. India muslin dresses, generally the fine jaconot, are much in favour for home costume: they arc made en blouse with the sleeves very wide. Three or four bracelets of gold net, eqnfine these sleeves et the wrist and half way Up the smeller part of the arm. Some pelisses have just been completed for the female members of a very distirgnished family : they are of rich tiros de Naples, of the most brilliant shade of royal blue; they are lined with white sarcenet, and the trimming is so extremely simple, that these ele gant envelopes may be styled wholly unornatnented : indeed. the colour is so striking of itself, that embellishment is not required. Tha pelisses for the carriages are superb; on one of pearbeolosirsd gees de Naples we saw a most exquisite Tonkel" embroidery forretrt: down each side of the best and front of the skirt, a long ostridi plume: the collar was stiffened and pointed a I' Espagrole, the points turning back again over the collar, that steed up iii the Castilian style. Another pelisse was of lavender Igrey ornamented profusely, yet lightly, with plumage ri rouleati embroidery ; consisting of various small feathers, faith fully represented, and with the most graceful bend, meeting with, or entwining each other. During the warm weather few ladies has= adopted any other out-door covering than Arachne sautoirs ; lace scarfs, both black end white ; or muslin pelerinet with white dresses richly embroidered. Barege Iris scarfs, are often tied rout the throat in the cool of the evening; they arc narrow, anal only adapted to that purpose ; the stripes et the ends are of rather strik ing colours and beautifully shaded ; if worn over a coloured &es , , the ground is white ; when with a white dress, it is of artb,e. shaded with fire colour, and has n brightness like gold. Tits favourite colours are pale pink, royal blue, and grey lame der ; stripes hi all colours arc much worn ; and the ribbands or: almost all shaded. Sr.% array.
