PARISIAN FASHIONS. ems•• Apple green is the favourite colour fur the taffeta capotes. They are also of dark green, rose, canary, jonquil, and lilac. The perkale capotes are also returning into favour. Some milliners use a cotton net, upplifuni upon either white or co loured Florence, in making capotes. We see undress bonnets of white crape, ornamented with transverse stripes of very bread ribbon, plaited In wolf's teeth. It would be diffictilt to my which is the more common trimming, ribbon cut and rumpled into a bench, or trimming of wolfs teeth. Yellow straw hats with a very broad leaf are still worn. The newest ribbons are sergcs and satins. Crops are still the fashion. In the nape of the neck, and rin the back of the head, the hair should not be so long as eight days growth. It is only per mitted to grow towards the crown of the heed, when it is eraped and collected into a bunch. As the frills constitute an essential part of fashion, they every day appear in new forms. The newest are puffed very full. They sometimes make a part of the khu-chemise.—The Jewish tunics and round rubes a¢ generally white. These two kinds of dress admit of a great deal of trimming. The eleganta of the first order wear a co hered handkerchief, pendent from the neck —lt is sometimes silk, sometimes painted cambrick. This loose handkerchief is so essential a part of the toilette. that they sometimes wear, besitUrs, a white hmbilkerthief. The waists are very lung, in deed as long as when whalebone boddices were in fashion.— Some jeweller; oricament the backs of the golden cambia ith baskets of flowers, made of feathers of rich plumage, glazed like the lids ui toothpick eases and sugar boxes. On the Kino's birth-day, it is usual, in every Theatre in Great-Britain to pay the proper tribute of loyalty, by singing God Save the King. We were astonished, therefore, that the whole vocal strength of the Opera House did not come forward after the Opera was over last Saturday, to gratify the audience with this popular Air. The Ro v•t CIRC vs was last night most fashion ably attended. The amusements at this Theatre are of the first description. Mrs. PAR KER is a star of the greatest brilliancy ; her aging is the most chaste and ptoetic the stage can boast of. The novelty this place produces, ensures the greatest success; and we conceive it well merited,for no Place of Entertain- Meat, in our opinion, can be more ably conlucted.

TO TIIE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. The hurnb!e Address of the Lord Maroc, Aldermen, and Conimootis of the City of London in Common Council as sembled. May it phrase your Majesty, Sc, rur Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjeeie, the Lird Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of Loa th') in Common Council assembled, beg lave to approach the Throne, at this important crisis, with oily renewed serotimenrs of fidelity and allegiance to your Majesty's Po,rson, Crown, and G avern meat. We we fully persuaded of the necessity for the dec".iive and dignified itiessitneradopted by ye+ or 7s: ojesty, by j!.e reeLll of Your. Majesty's Ainhassad fn: •, Fiance, and the vigorous posture of defence of the Unit. d Kongdom to repel the designs of that Government, whose inordinate and insatiable views of restless ambition are manifestly directed to overthrow the glo rious Constitution of these realms, and give a ii.ortal stab to our existenre as a free and independcut nati an. The justice of your Majesty's cause, and the moderation of y•err elaimi, must be kit and aeknowlesird by every surrounding Power; and we are convinced that the brave and happy people of this land, conscious of the purity of thair freedom, and the inestimable pri vileges they enjoy under your Majesty's mild and paternal rule, will with one band and heart reisolveto defeed and maintain them. Yo or Majesty's faithful Citizens of Loudon feel a grateful pride in tit:. s urance of kindred loyalty throughout your Majesty's I &minion% and are deeply sensible of the eminent distinction they are invested with, by this opportunity of testifying their Isielity and attachment to their beloved Sovereign. It is our earnest prayer that every blessing may attend and prosper your Majesty's zeal and exertions for the welfare of your people ; sad should substantial peace not be -ttainab'e hut by the deci sion of the sword, may the calionitie:: of a war not to be averted be lost in the success and glory of its atchievernents. Your Majesty's faithful citizens cannot, however, refraiii from expressing their satisfaction at the disposition manifested by your Majesty, of availing yourself of any fasorable rcurn staw_e of terminating the subsisting differences, whenever it can be don.. consistentiy with the honour and dignity of your Majesty's crown, and the security and welfare of the British empire. Signed, by order of Court, HENRY WOODTHORIT. To which his MAJESTY was pleased to return the following most gracious answer : I receive, with great satisfaction, this dutiful and loyal A. dress from my City of London. My endeavours to preserve 'peace, have been unhappily frustrated, by the restlesi spirit of aggrandisement which actu ates the Council of the French Government, but I trust, the united and vigorous exertions of the nation at large, in sup port of the just cause we are engaged, will, under the protec tion of Divine Providnee, enable me to mtintiin the dignity of my Crown, and to defend the rights and interests of city people against every aggression. CHRIST CHURCH, SURRr. Having, we trust, amused our readers by our ac counts of the proceedings of this most agreeable and cordial parish, it would be a pity not to inform them of the success with which the recommenda tions of the Committee of the House of Commons, with a view to reconciliation between the parties' have been attended. It is necessary to observe that there have been frequent requisitions on the part of the inhabitants for a Vestry to be called, in order to take into consideration the repairs of the Church. —Yesterday, however, a Vestry was convened to settle a Poors-rate, and that business having been finished, the parishioners, who numerously attend ed, resolved to avail themselves of the opportu nity, and either have the subject then discussed, or the Vestry adjourned until a future day. One of the Church-wardens foreseeing the storm that was gathering , wisely took care to keep aloof, the other found himself hemmed in by an array through which Ajax himself could not have pene trated. As soon as the business of the Poors-rate was settled, he declared that the purpose for which the Vestry had been called was at an end, and no other business could be pro.ccded upon, and there fore by his mere authority he had a right to adjourn the Vestry sine die, without consulting those who were prescra. This observation was succeeded by hisses, and a general expression of indignation. At this moment the Clergyman, halxited in his canoni cal robes, rushed through the throng, and in the name of his Ordinary denounced vengeance for such a profanation of a temple of worship. Hisses, be said, were the mode of expressing disapprobation in a theatre, but were unbecoming in a Church; and be was determined to hare the whsle parish cited be fore Dodors Commons, in order that they might undergo the utmost severity of ecclesiastical disci pline. The leaders of the parish ireisted upon their tight to have a vestry for general purposes— ,, Send me," said the Church-warden, "a requisition for a vestry, and I will consider of it."—" No," said the pa rishioners, a we have sent you requisitions before, and you have refused to pay attention to theta, therefore now we hare got you here, you shall either promise to call a vestry, or we will ad journ to a future day without your consent." They appealed to the Vestry Clerk, who assuredthem that the question of adjournment ought to be put to the Vestry at large. Accordingly one of the_parishion. ens proposed that they should adjourn till Monday next, to take into cousideratioa the repairs of the Church, and for other purposes. • This motion was carried unanimously, and was entered in the Vestry book, and sigma by every person, present. How many were present, at is int possible to enumerate. • . The inhabitants will meet again .of mew ap Monday next, when a debate far more millirem* , them than any that possibly can arise on tht4ece.. rah question of war and peace, is e _epOed, tit *se place. We much regret that neither Mr. Pitt Oi Fox are parishioners. 7 - 7 • • *)UTIFIWARK ELECTION, • YeSterday the Poll • commented about the same tune as on the preceding day, and, notwithstanding the heavy rain that 1111, the friends of the Candidate readily came (onward to give their votes. The po closed at four o'clock, and about five. the ;umbel ware declared by the High Bailiff as follows: For the flight Hon. Cenrge Tie .-ney 749 For Sir Thomas Turton - - 756 Mr. TIER/4E V then addressed the populace, with stating., that he had but very little to express, fur ther than his thanks, for the honor they had done him, by their attendance; and to advise them to retreat out of the rain to a place of shelter, as that was of more consequence to them than any words he could make: use of. He observed, that he had been successful in the day's poll, having obtained a ma j ority of near double the number of votes more thaii on the preceding day. The worthy Baronet on the Hustings had said, at the close of Tuesday's poll, that he, (tile Right i lon. Gentleman) would be glad to blirow twenty votes of him ea Wed nesday ; it, howevtr, had turned out to be rattier an erroneous calculation, which was the more to be wondered at, as the worthy Baronet was a good cal culator. With respect to the votes in general, near two to one were given in his favour is all the pa rishes except St. George's, from which a majority had been obtained against him of two or three ; but that circumstance was nothing to speak of when lie came to consider that many of his friends had been prevented from coming by the showers of rain which had fallen, and that the Baronet's voters had been induced to come from that parish by a shower of half-guineas, (Huzza listsza I) This was a fad he was assured of; and as soon as the necessary evi dence could be procured, he intended to bring ac tions for bribery. He did not mean to say the mo ney so given was the Baronet's, but k was the pro perty of the Baronet's friends. If the Right Hon. Gentleman had employed the Captain to contraLYt for votes, at that day he should have obtained a sufficient number to have carried the Eledion ; he had made no overtures or contrakas whatever, his friends came forward to support him from principle, and not interest. lie would not detain his friends, many of whom he saw in the crowd, that had come too late to give their votes, by speaking longer, provided the worthy Baronet would not make a long speech ; he therefore had only to lament the weather had proved so unfavourable for the business of the poll, and that his friends had suffered so much from the rain. For the honour he had re ceived by their votes, he expressed his thanks, and requested they would step forward again to support him on the following day—not to vote for him as an undue Eledor, which he had been represented to be by the worthy Baronet, whose friends had distri buted half guineas (the populace continued hiving for some time), but as a Candidate whose design was to be eleded by honourable means, without dis tributing bribes for that purpose. Sir 1 HONIAS TIIJILTON said, although there was a majority at present against him, he had a greater fund of votes to bring forward than the Right Honourable Gentleman, and he trusted he should be able to afford him those twenty votes which had been alluded to. With respell to the expression made use of by the Right Honourable Gentleman, stating, that he was a calculator he did not ac knowledge himself to be such ; th e Right Honocr able Gentleman had been calculating for some time past, to obtain a place in the Treasury (loud bursts of applause front the spectators) had given up his seat in Parliament for that purpose, and now appeared again as a candidate to be elected by undue interest, (Huzza likzu !) and the influence of Govern ment. He denied that any money had been given on his part, to induce the voters to come forward in his behalf from the parish of St. George, or that any contrails had been made for that purpose. He observed, that the People ought not to be hummed by the assertion to that end, made by the Right Hon. Gentleman, who had also expressed his igno rance of coutrads, but it would appear that he had contradedtobecome Treasurer of the Navy, (Huzza! ifuzza!) And the people would judge of the con trails he would make now he was in office. (Long and repeated plaudits). The Right Honourable Gen tleman was supported by the dependants of the Government, and it was his triumph, and ought to be the triumph of the public, that he was placed in a situation to oppose him. He called upon them, as tree electors, to maintain the freedom of election, by coming forward to support him, in order to des troy undue influence. He did not wish to detain his hearers any longer than was necessary—the Hea vens had proved extremely inauspicious to their en deavours to serve him ; the rain descended fast, anu to make long speeches would be cruel. He returned his thanks for the inclination they had shewn to en counter the different hiconveniencies which they must necessarily have met with on such a day as that, on account of his interest, and concluded with remarking how necessary their votes would be on Thursday, when he had not the least difficulty to believe that they would conceive it their interests to step forwardforthe purpose of preserving thelibt.rty of eleilions, and file independence of the Constitu tion. Mr. T I r.aw E v said, he was compelled to say a few words further in answer to an expression nude use of by the worthy Baronet, relative to the interfer ence of the Government in procuring him votes. Hs could say, with strict prOpriety, that Govern ment never suffered a fairer election to take place than that; he therefore thought observations levelled Ai per in high official situations were extremely improper, and the conduct of Sir Thomas Turton highly censurable. The C211466rPt then withdrew, and the hustings were cleaved. At that part of Sir T. Turton's speech, where he alluded to the interest which Go verment might take in electing Mr. Tierney, some person who stood behind him laid hold of his coat, with intent to pull him off the hustings, which be resisted, mita his frienets owes and conveyed the person who offered the insalraway.

This was an aCtion fir assault and batte-v, and else imprisonment, brought by the Plaintir, Asher vas an Attorney at Law, to recover daaitg:s of .he Defendant, the proprietor of a very eel:Air:red imblic house called the Cock, at Temple stir. The case, as stated on the part of the Plaintiff's Counsel, was a very violent tine. It *as supposed that the Plaintiff, after having soberly and moderately finish ed his porter cos 1 brandy and water, had peaci•alil retired, giving three pence to the waiter, and ci; wishing the landlord good night. and that in turn for this orderly and good cnndn&, the la!: ' lord had, without any provocation, rushed out his bar, beat the pacific Attorney, dragged him iait of die house by the collar, a:livered him over to th.: watch, and finally had him committed to the Comp ! ter upon an unjust allegation, that he had conuni:- ted a riot in the Defendant's hose; all this was in ferred, and the injury the Plaintiff had received was stated by Mr. Erskine in the most glowing co lours. The Defendant had pleaded, first, that the Plain tiff had assaulted him; and secondly, that he had conduCted himself in a riotous manner, which ren dered it necessary to turn him out of the house. Upon the cross-examination of the Piaintles own witnesses, die real plain faa appeared to be nothing more or less than this :—the Plaintiff had been keep ing it up till the watchful bird, from which the house derived its name, had twice done salutat: to the morn •, it was be:wcen two and direct o'clock ; and what added to th., impropriety of the Plain tiff's intemperance was, that it was a Sunday morn ing. At such an hour it was net a: all surprising that the Plaintiff should have forgot precisely the number of glasses of brandy and water he had drank, and he insisted he had drank less by one than the waiter had charged him widi. The waiter maintained the accuracy of his reckoning, upon which the Plaintiff persisted he was mistaken, and attempted to beat it into him by those m a nua l and praCtical arguments, which few Englishmen, howe ver low their situation, chuse .to endure with pa. ience. An Appeal was made to the Landlord, who said, he would as soon believe his waiter as he would the Plaintiff, at the same time notmeaning to make any refle:tion on him for being an Attorney. The Plaintiff, irritated at his veracity being put at issue with that of a common tapster, declared it was only the Defendant's being at the bar proteeted and that, if he would not demur to coming out, he would treat him as he deserved. He then proceed ed to make a noise and disturbance, upon which the Defendant was compelled, for the sa ke of preservinz the peace of the house and family, to proceed to an ejeetment ; and for that purpose, having gently laid his hands upon the Plaintiff, he succeeded its getting the Attorney on the outside of his house, and then very wisely fastened his door to prevent hi r. - admittance, and delivered him into the custody of a faithful guardian of die night, denominated a watch man, who. carried him before a constable of the watch, by whom, after hearing the charge, he was. committed to the Poultry Compter, where he laid perdue till the next day at noun , when, upon depo siting certain symbols, as a security for his appear.' ance before the Magistrate the next morning, he was released from incarceration. This appeared to be the whole of the case. Mr. GA ititow, who was counsel for the Defend ant, proposed, in consideration of the confinement the Plaintiff had suffered, to withdraw a juror. Lord ELLENBOROUGH was of opinion, that the Plaintiff's riotous conduit, at such an hour of a Sunday morning, was a justilicati6n of what the Defendant had done. His Lordship also thoug;ii, that the Plaintiff's threat to the Defendant, in case he came out of his bar, amounted to a challenge. Mr. Gartaow, though he clearly might have ha I a verdia, adhered to his first proposition, and a ju ror was withdrawn. The Defendant and his party, elated at their vic . ' tory, prc ceeded to the Cock in triumph, where no doubt there was plenty of crow;ng in the course or the evening. The principal part of the day was occupied in causes of the most. trivial nature ; the above w as the only one we were able to select. COURT OF COMMON PLF-I.qi Junl •., . Before Lord ALVANLEy. 114AsTILKMAN V. LONGMAN. This was an anion brought by the Plaintiff against Mr. Richard Longman, a distant relation of Long man, the well-known music-seller, to recover the balance of an account between them. The defence was, that a partnership existed be tween the Plaintiff and the Defendant. It appeared that the Defendant, who had been the journeyman of Longman and liroderip, in Cheapside, had en tered into an engagement with - the Plaintiff to make piano-fortes of different qualities, to which the name of Longman was to be affixed as the maker. It seemed that peat complaints were made d sor.le of these piano -tortes, in consequence of their being made up of wood, and not properly seasoned ; they warped, and were incapable of emitting those sweet sounds. of which those instruments properly mane fthured are capable. The concern was of course a losing one, and the Plaintiff alledged that the De fondant was indebted to him in the sums for this anion was brought. The sole question was, whether a Partnership existed or not ; there W.t much contradiftory evidence, and the cause p! ~ ceeded to so late an hour that we are unable td state the result. Ie is not very material, nor should we have mentioned the subjea at all, except for the purpose of informing those amateurs,and particularly we Ladies, that when they are about to isurciiase Piano Forte, they ought not to depend entirely upon the celebrity of the Name anted to it, as the maker must recolleo that it May .have been made a fourth cousin of the same name, or by thee: who have assumed it in order to give bad bums- • meats the currency of good ones.
