The BRIT ISIU PRESS conmencvl publishing yesterday morning The Paris Papers which we received yesterday bring no fresh intelligence from either Spain or Greece. It appears that many arrests have been made in different parts of the l'eninsula, and among all classes of society, from the highest to the very lowest. The ordinary and extraordinary ptisons are filled, and finally the cells of the convents have been put into requisition. It is quite certain that the political condition of Spain must undergo some change; and many mouths canr.ot elapse without deciding what that change shall be. We hope, rather than expect, that it will be such as we wish. Ti..:: reports by way of Trieste, from the Morea, continue ,;e unfavourable to the gallant people who are contend for their existence.

We know for a certainty, that M. PinUlos, having received in the latter city some positive information respecting the preparations which the Colombians and the Mexi cans were making, in order to blockade the Port of the Ilavannah, has written to his Government, signifying to them, that there was reason to apprehend that the expedition to Ferrol might MI into the power of the Independents, unless it were escorted by the Guerrero, which is the only ship of the line that Spain at present possesses. . But in order for this ship to be put to sea, great pre parations will be necess a ry, which will cost a considerable sum of money, which the Spanish Government is nut in a condition to pay. By the letters which we base received from Cadiz, it is stated that the frigate La Perle, the brig be Jason, and eight transports will return to Ferrol to take troops on board. It is probable that when the Spani'sh Government shall receive the letter of M.

No new case of plague has manifested itself on board the brigs La Cinq Sours and L'lleureuse Sabine, or in the Lazaretto, thanks to the extraordinary precautions that have been taken. The pestilential bile which exhibited itself on a sailor belonging to L'lleureuse Sa bine has been cauterized, and cicatrization has taken place. The se cond patient landed from the same vessel is getting better of the pes tilential fcvet with which he was attacked. This fever, indeed, was not accompanied by any swelling, but all the symptoms sufficiently indicated the nature of the disease. The landing of the carg.ns of these two vessels, after having been thoroughlfernigated, has not produced flay bad consequences. When they shall all have been conveyed to the Lazaretto. the quarantine of the men will commence, and the vessels will undergo fresh purifications, and all the precau tiori usually adopted in such cases. The French brigs l'Espe ranee and rEugene, from Alexandria, where each had a man at tacked by the plague, are arrived at this port. No extension of the disease has taken place. Their cargoes consist of cotton. FRENCH Fir xis. PARIS, Aico. 27.—Five per Cent'. lO2f. 25c. ; Three per Cents. 71f. 75c.; Rank Stock 2185 f. ; Rente de Naples, Certif.

One of those extraordinary panics that occasionally seize the Money Markets without any cause immediately apps• rent, took place this morning. Consols have been drooping, as our readers must have noticed, for several days; but to-day they went down, if not in an unprecedented, certainly in an unusual degree. Various were the reasons abroad to account for this sudden decline; that most bruited about was, that the news from Spain might involve this country in a contest with France, which certainly appears to us one of the moat absurd reasons that ever issued from the Stock Exchange; for any change in that country, either politically or financially considered, must be beneficial to .11 her neighbours. The old reason was also resorted to, that the Funds were too high, and that, we rather incline to believe, is the real one for the fall in Consols. Money was scarcer than has been experienced for a long time. Business was even impeded from that circumstance on the 'Money Mar kets, and Exchequer Bills consequently declined Ils. in the course of the day, going down from 1.55. to 4s. They ultimately left ofd' at Ss. 7s. premium. The fluctuations in Consols were as under. They opened for the Account at 891, but they very soon went down to SS; Ally, and ultimately closed at 88ii. _ _ The Foreign Market sympathised with the English, and almost every Security in it, with the exception of Greek Scrip, which was 15 . /1 discount, declined materially. South American Stocks were particularly depressed : Co lombian Bonds were at SO, Mexican Scrip GI discount, and the new. Guatemala Scrip 31 discount. Brazilian Scrip re trograded as low as 91 discount, and the Danish was re ported at 61 discount. Spanish Securities did not suffer in the same deb with the others in this market ; indeed they were only a shade worse, the Old Bonds being at 221, and the new at 17, which proves the fallacy of the reason-, ing that Spanish affairs caused the decline in Consols, be cause the Bonds would necessarily have been the first affected by it ; but the holders of them seem to think with us that any change in the situation of the devoted country whose revenues they are secured upon, cannot decrease their value, and therefore they have evinced little or no alarmat the recent intelligence from Spain. The panic in the Share Market was quite equal to what took place in the English and Foreign Stocks. Anglo-Mexican Shares.were as low as 65, and United Mexican Shares at 16 18; Pasco Peruvian Shares declined to Se 91, as did those of the new Potosi Company to 4j. It will be clearly seen from the quotations that we have made, that this was a day of consi derable anxiety in the City. The opening of the Markets to-morrow will be necessarily eagerly looked forward to. The new Wheat that was brought to market to-day not being of so good a quality, was consequently lower. Letters from Gibraltar, dated the Bth August state, that grain is likely to keep its price, in consequence of the ad vance of the French troops. We have also seen letters of a late date from Vittoria, which neither allude to that cir cumstance, nor to any other connected with politics. IV'e are quite at a loss to what cause to attribute this silence. Among the three signatures to the Decree passed on the 17th August, 1924, by the Peruvian Government, against the Spanish Government, we observe that of M. Jose' Maria-Pando, a personage who has resided here some time. When Minister of Forign Affairs, in 1823, he shut himself up, with other Members of the Government, in Cadiz ; and it was he who, exhorting his colleagues to r; jeer the offers which were made to them, asserted with the greatest firmness that it was necessary to perish rather than to capitulate. Seeing the question decided, he et-barked for America, where he was born, in order to tight again for the cause of liberty. M. Pando is a young luau endued with a mind of great vivacity, and of very ex tensive information. Ile was Secretary to the Embassy at Paris, when he was recalled by his government to be raised to the ministry • he for a long while refuaed to take pos session of the office, till he was constrained to do so by the will of the King.-:-Courrier Francais. A disease which, without being contagious, attacks many persons at the same time, has manifested itstlf in the commune of Alenya, in the Canton of Perpignan. Notice had hardly been given to the l'refect of the De partment before a Doctor was sent to the different places, anti medicine, foal, and other necessaries were distributed among the poor families that were afflicted. Three per sons have already died of the disease.—Courrier Francais. We have received Gibraltar Papers to the 9th inst. The Chronicle of the 6th gives a proclamation by the Go vernor-General Don, stating that no person shall exchange or purchase provisions, fuel, or forage from the soldiers of the garrison, as it gives rise to dishonesty and fraud. A Liter from Seville of the Bth inst. states, that the number of persons arrested there on suspicion. of being I concerned in a conspiracy in favour of Don Carlos, exceed ed 70, many of whom were dragged frJm,.their beds dur ling the night. Among tile. number arrested were the rich met chants Mendez, Antluesca, and Lavina. The Emperor • and Empress and Archdukes of Austria left Venice on the 9th, followed by the acclamations of the populace. The Archduchess Maria Louisa left on the same day for Parma. The King of Prussia and. three Princes, his sons, expected at Brussels on the 6th Septembe, where the au gust party will remain three days. The Allgenttine Zwilung of the ‘23d inst. contains a 11:- script issued by the Emperor of Russia for !suiting down begging, which he appears to have found very prevalent on hits return from Poland, and especially in the Govern ment of Pskov. • STOlttl IN NAPLES.-011 the lath of last month a fu rious tempest ravaged in less than a quarter of an hour, the commune of Lagonegro, in the province of Basilicala. 'file hail, which was of extraordinary size, destroyed the corn and the vines. The waters poured down in torrents, which brought with them such a quantity of sand from the hills that it stopped up the roads; even th e v i a ennso l are was obliged to l)e cleared by wool:men, before the dili gence could pass.

DR ATH or LORD H. Mooac.—We regret exceedingly to have to announce the death of Lord Henry Seymour Moore, which took place at Bath a few days ago, and must hare occurred after a very short illness. His Lordship was the second son of the late Marquis of Drogheda; and, froin peculiar circumstances, seemed destined to have inherited all the titles and estates of his noble ancestors. He had been married somewhat less than a year to the daughter of a distinguished patriot and senator, Sir Henry Parnell, Bart., who had lately presented him with a son and heir. Lord Henry Moore was a Nobleman of strict honour and integrity, of a sound understanding, and a feel ing heart, and seemed formed for longevity.—Dublin Freeman's Journal. • _ On Thursday, the 11th, as Lord Lyncdoch was crossing a wooden bridge over the water of Lee, in Glenesk, the structure of which, like most others in that quarter, was in a frail state, gave way, and his Lordship was precipi tated from a considerable height into the stream. He sustained considerable injury, but is recovering.—Caledo flirts Mercury. Some time since, the Earl of Lonadale had a complaint in his eyes, which led to the formation of a cataract, and which totally deprived him of sight. His Lordship under went an operation, and his eyes were of course bandaged over, and he was kept the usual length of time blindfolded. When the proper time arrived for taking the bandages off', to his inexpreeF!ble delight, he found his eyesight was re stored ; and although at an advanced age, he continues now in the enjoyment of good sight, but wears spectacles as preservatives. The very first act of the Noble Earl, after recovering his sight, was to write a draft for 1,0001. on his banker, and present it to the oculist. Charles Mathews terminated his engagement at the Bir mingham Theatre on Thursday evening. . • _ Sinclair was playing, or rather singing, in some of his favourite characters at Southampton last week, with the delight and applause of all who heard him. The Rev. Rowland Hill, who this week entered his Slat year, has been preaching here for the benefit of the'Foreign Missionary Society. This venerable and popular advocate of religion is accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Atkins, of Southampton, whose chaste and elegant discourses formed a pleasing contrast to the eccentric, but homely and sincere logic of his aged compeer. The great room at the Hotel was filled on Wednesday evening to hear the annual re port of the Society.—Ereter Gazette. ELOPEMENT.—An amatory expedition from the Vale of Clwyd took place last week. The lady is likely to become possessed of a handsome fortune, and her lover was in ber father's employ. They passed through this city very early in the morning, and were closely pursued by tke brothers of the lady; who overtook the refugees at Tranmere Ferry, opposite Liverpool, where a good deal of disinclination to return was manifested by the parties. Eventually they crossed the Mersey, but were placed in the custody of the police; on the circumstances being explained, they were of course set at liberty. How the matter has terminated we have not yet he:mi.—Chester Paper. As a member of the society of Friends was lately tra velling between Darlington and Leeds, in one of the stage coachei, he happened to fall in company with an infidel, who made no scruple of publicly ~i,:Tlaring his impious principles, and proclaiming the Bible to be a tissue of in congruities. The Quaker took all this very calmly, and asked what the Bible contained that was so very ridi- ' culous. The infidel, in answer, said that no man of sense could believe that a stone thrown at a man could sink into his head and kill him—alluding to David and Goliath. The remark drew from the Quaker this laconic reply, " Young man, if Goliah's head had been as soft as thine, I see not where would have been thedifficulty !" MATLOCK, DERBYSIII R.E.—A discovery has lately been made of an immense cavern, situated in tire Secondary Limestone, described by geologists as die grandest con tinuation of caverns hitherto explored. The access to and through it is perfectly easy, and after traversing various windings (fine cave scenery), you arrive at a beautiful archway, from which a passage is made through to day light, wherethe subterraneons visitcra arrive at an elevated terrace, nearly on the summit of the mountain in which the cavern is situated, commanding the tini•st views of the neighbouring romantic scenery. It has been named the Devonshire Cavern. A ram was slaughtered hist week by Mr. Fenton, flesher 'in Perth, of which the horns, instead of rising separately from each side of the head, branched off from the 'main horn, which projected from the forehead, similar to the description of the fabled unicorn.

Lrnms a Sheitski Paper.l • •SHEFFIrLD, At 27. Tuesday last, a deputation from the body of Loyal Orangeanen of Sheffield (viz. Brothers Haywood, Gun, and Hind) proceeded to Baslow, in Derbyshire, to present an address to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, their Grand Master, for his laudable zeal and ma g nanimous speech on a regent occasion in the House of Lords, on the Catholic Emancipation Rill; When, after a short note ad dressed to him b'y their Secretary, they were graciously re ceived by -his Royal Highness, who expressed in a lively manner the gratitude he felt to the body who had thus honoured him with testimonials of their esteem ; and as sured them in return, that be had spoken the sentiments of his heart, to which he would always abide. After the deputation had withat awn from the pleasing interview, which lasted for a considerable time, they were again in vited into his Royal Highness's apartments, to receive at his hands a reply to the Address presented to him, as in serted below " The Address of the Loyal Orangemen in the Sheffield District to his Royal Highness the Duke of York. " May it please your Royal Highness, " We, the undersigned Loyal Orangemen in the Sheffield Dia trict, most respectfully . beg leave to express our unqualified appro bation of the public principles by which your Royal Highness is so property infuenceci. In an especial manner we fed ontselves called upon to offer you our sincere congratu.ations on the truly layal and constitutimal manner on which your Royal Highness recently came forward to resist the Catholic claims; measures which, in the opinion of us all, are positive and pernicious encroach ments on the Protestant establishments of the realm, and which, if hereafter adopted, will, in process of time, be the means af subvert ing the important privileges which now result from our happy union of Cturch and State. " Opposed. therefore, as we ever must be, to the despotic and no less degrading influence of the Church of Rome, we earnestly entreat your Royal Highness to persevere in the line of policy you have adopted, to guard us from the innovating spirit of Popish principles, and the consequent violation of that solemn engage. ment by which the Monarch of this Kingdom is bound to main. taro its Protestant purity, Protestant ascendancy, and Protestant rights. " The glorious era of the Revolution is that which we look upon as the basis on which is built almost all that is conducive to our public prosperity and private happiness.

I can only assure you, that they are the genuine sentiments of my heart, and founded upon principles from which I have never varied. " I remain, Gentlemen, yours. " FREDERICK. " To the Loyal Orangemen in the Sheffield District." DUCHESS DE BERRI. BOULOGNE•SUR•IIEit t AUG. 27. This morning has witnessed the departure of our Royal visitant. Last night the grand ball, which had been the object of so much preparation, took place. The ball-room was very tastefully fitted up, the prevailing decoration con sisting of intermingling festoons of white and light blue silk, with a bordering of silver fringe, and an under-edging' of roses, and supported by flying Cupids. These festoons ran all round the walls of the room, and also hung from a gallery, which made the circle of the walls appropriate to the company. When her Royal Highness entered, at ten o'clock, the coup cfceil of fifteen hundred people in full ball dresses, with many military and naval uniforms of difte-: rent countries, was strikingly gay. The gallery was filled with ladies, and a double row also lined the four sides of the room. The middle of the apartment was occupied by a mixture of both sexes. Her Royal Ilighness's dress was the subject of much admiration with the ladies. It was composed of white muslin. The shoulders were orna mented with stripes of gold embroidery; and the bottom of the gown displayed a very deep border, of an Indian pat -1 tern, worked in gold tissue of various hues. This part of the dress was in excellent taste. The jewellery consisted of a necklace, zone, car-rings, and head ornaments, en tirely composed of emeralds of a very superior size and quality, each thickly set round with brilliants. The zone was the most remarkable for its beauty. The head-dress was rather too redundant of flowers, which did not assort well with the gems. Her Royal highness danced four quadrilles. In the first she honoured the Mayor with her hand; the second was danced with the Sub-Prefect ; the third fell to the lot of an officer of the French troops stationed here; and in the fourth figured a countryman of our own, Lieutenant Gore, late of the Life Guards. This officer appeared in full Life Guards' uniform. Ile was presented to the Duchess by the Comte de Menars, who acts as her Royal Highness's Chamberlain upon her present journey. Among the company were many individuals who were dressed in the senatorial uniform of the Chamber of De puties. There were alto several British Naval and Mili tary uniforms present. Among these were General Meyrick and Admirals Wolley and Aylman. The two latter hid the honour of dining with the Duchess yesterday. Her Royal Highness's first quadrille was to the music of Der Freischutr:. Waltzes were also in abundance, but in these her Royal Highness did not join. At twelve o'clock she retired, amidst the greetings of the company, the orchestra playing the favourite French air of Vire Henri Quatre. Cpw - ards of Lbw applicants for tickets upon This occa sion were ejected. This morning her Royal Highness did not bathe, the weather not being very inviting. She, however, drove, down to the sands, where she gazed at the ocean for a short time, and then retired. Yesterday she proudly dis played her accomplishment, rare for the female sex to pos sess or exhibit, of floating on the surface of the water. Her marine attendants seemed much delighted at this feat, and held up their hands to the crowded spectators, to sig nify that they gave no assistance to the Royal person. At ten o'clock this morning, during a heavy shower of rain, the Duchess departed for Calais. The French wits Say "Quand la Duchess de Berri etait ici elle pl u t beau coup.: _ It is said she is favourably impressed by this place. The Dieppe people had found means to persuade her that it was a semi-barbarous colony of English, whet° no food fit for civilised beings was to he had. Under this persuasion she actually brought sugar and coffee as her travelling stock, firmly believing them was nothing but molasses to be had here as a substitute for these articles. , Last week very extensive policies were opened a t Ll o yd' s on specie from London to Dublin, for the Provincial Bank ing Company of Ireland. We believe the sum already in sured amounts to above 100,000/. ; the premium is only ss. 3d. per cent., taking all risks of land-carriage and trans port to Ireland. _ • • LONDON AND PORTSMOUTH SHIP CANAL.—This grand national undertaking is now decided on. The estimated expense is 4,000,0001., to be subscribed for ih 40,000 shares, of 100/. each. It is intended to be navigable for line-of-battle ships; and the largest Indiamen, by the aid of steam vessels, will be able to perform a passage from I London to Spithead in about twelve hours. By the prospectus, it appears that the line will pass by part of the present barge canal, and a new entrance behind Southsea Castle is to be opened to Spithead. The mouths of Chi chester bay and Langstotr harbour are intended to be closed, and by deepening the latter, a basin will be formed for vessels to ride in safety.

NEWEST LONDON FASHION FOR SEPTEMBER, 182.5. [From the trotld o f Fashion and Continental Fessillel Some charming vernal showers and gentle breezes have ,:aa t „ petisated for the scorching heat that we endured at the eenclus;,,, of July and at the commencement a August. Every marine a:4 rural scene are now rendered delighttul. Fashion, supported b" her most attractive attendants. sitr.plicity and taste, with P l ) l7gt is her train, appears, with agile step end graceful ease, at the head of her fair votaries ; we speed after them, with diligent pace aid o : ,. serving eyes, to catch, " Ere she change, this Cynthia of a minute." The most approved pelisse is of a pale lavender coloured p g . d e Naples, fastened down the front, from the throat to the feet. with :, chain-work, en caricous, formed of roulesux, which has a nett novel effect; the collar is falling, as are all those most in tarn:- with ladies of the first fashion ; and over it falls a Maltese collar very tine muslin, splendidly embroidered ; .these costly collars seezt more in favour than those of lace. Spencers of dark coloured sa; are much adopted by young persons over white dresses ; the PICCVeN . as do those of the pelisses, fit closer to the at in than formerly, the mancherons are very full; the most approved trimming on liana spencers is a very rich fringe disposed in various ways about t!., bust, mancherons, and collar, as taste or fancy may sugge st . o, c , high dresses, when the weather is warm, the only covering is a light eautoir, or Arachne red shawl; scarfs, also of this beautiful ma. terial, in white, are much in request, discovering underneath a beautiful broad riband, and formed into a sash and a sautoir, o f beautiful shades, front a dark brown to the palest shade of red lilac. . The dresses, this summer, are all made rather more than pay. tially high : they are surmounted by hand&ome collars ale (,'he. valiere, and are, when of silk, generally trimmed with severa flounces. pointed a la Vandyck, and headed by rith rouleaus of satin ; the points are bound with narrow rouleaux. • A beautifal material for rural dress-patties has lately appeared, called pencilled muslin : the ground is white, and is figured over with the mos: elegantly-finished pattern, of stripes, representing small flowers and foliage, clustered together, which have the appearance of beirg drawn with the most scrupulous care, with the finest hair.stmkes a pencil. • The border of a dress we saw of, this kind was ors-, mented with long bouffant buffs, of a plain clear each fined by a foliage of dark brown satin. The corsage Ive s o f white satin, pointed in front of she waist a Pendent, with long sleeves of thread tulle, fastened down the outside ot theann wiry bows of white satin riband, and confined by straps, at equal distances, of white satin. The same kind of corsage, but with short sleeves, is worn with white lace dresses, over what satin, which is now the most favourable evening dress among ladies belonging to the higher classes. Flounces se: ion in lesions, are favourite ornaments on the borders of dresses cf striped leno, barege, or other gowns wore in demi-parnte ; th e plaits of these flounces are very large : the old bias folds are yet retained, and, it must be confessed that when a clear dregs has a beautiful satin stripe, that this way of trimming has a very charm. ing effect: it is like the coloured flowers In the black horses last winter, every one wore them: every soubrette that has a pretty striped gown, his her bias folds round the bonier ; but the 4dies who like them will not be beat out of the field; and whr should they? A woman of fashion will always appear such. while those who ape her, cannot, with all their efforts. The reign of white dresses is always short few are the weeks. in our uncertain climate, that they can be worn: those that have appeared are valuable in texture, and beautifully made: yet they prevail more in 'dishabille and home costume, than for evening or even friendly dinner parties. A high dress, that is partially high, is preferred, of some lovely, summer like colour, elegantly ornamented lively hues, either in fringe or satin : the new fringe, for ttim. ming dresses is rich, and looped, and has a very splendid ap. pearance. _ _ _ A very favourite hat, either for the promenade dr the carriage, is of sparterie, ornamented with the same material, en lets Jr cheval ; between the interstices of this trimming are placed small bouquets of full blown roses, with the buds. A dress-hat of rose. coloured crape has also excited much admiration : it is crowned by ' a superb plumage of fiat pink ostrich feathers ; ~t his hat is to: ' matt enough for an evening dress hat, but is well adapted for ire public breakfast, or other parties a Is champetre. For this pu:. pose, also, and for carriage-dress airings is the Parisian hat of pink gauze, with a very lofty, puckered crown, ornamented with de. niched sprigs of purple Iris, with the green buds of corn. Lapeen of an immense length, in long puffs, of pink gauze doubled in bias, are either worn floating, or are tied very loosely together rear the bust. The most elegant head-covering for the retired walk, is a capote bonnet of primrose -coloured Japanese gauze, trimmed is the Usual way, with chevaux-de-frtese, at the edge, &c. The head-dresses are very elegant and becoming; the home, and half dress caps and cornettes are made of the richest and most costir blond : those for deshabille are plentifully ornamented with small bows of peach-coloured satin riband, or a gauze riband disposed in the same way, of beautifully shaded strives ; a half dress oar. nette of blond, ornamented with bouquets of full-blown roses, is much admired : this head-dress is very becoming; a diadem point of tulle, edged with a *kite satin and blond, surmounts this tette ful cap, which is well adapted to the movincial theatre. The semi. hat toque is a new, and truly elegant headdress for evening dress parties. A small transparent turban, in appearance, lies over the hair, which is of tulle, enriched by narrow rouleaux of white seta placed in bias ; the hat part which seems to turn up, Is of white satin ' • above which is a continuation of the turban ornament , form ing a kind of caul or crown to the hat : the lightness and elegance of this attractive head-dress cannot be imagined unless seen; mu the hat part detached marabout feathers play in the most gossamer. like and beautiful manner. 4 ' Flowers of all hue, And without thorn the rose." For it is the small earlyroaeof Paradise, literally without then, thatis so much in favour with out youthful belles ; these emblems of youth and beauty's early spring are the favourite, Ed almost ouly ornament worn at balls and fetes champetres, by ve:y young persons. The most approved colourS are lavender grey, pink, peach-colour, and primrose. COSTUMES OF ALL NATIONS. [Estracted from the New Monthly Work called the ;Foch lc: Fashion and Continental Feni&tons.] DIIES3 Or AN INHABITANT Or THE PAYS DE CAUX, IX NORMANDY. The Normans are, the greatest part of them, a remarkably fi-e race of people ; well made, tall of stature, and generally fair-haired and of fine complexion. It is well !mown that the Cauchoises, or female inhabitants of Caux, are exceedingly pretty this, their country, was called Pay* de Caux, before the Revolution of lit% since when it has been comprised as belonging to the departntert of the Lower Seine. Caudebac was its capital, and in the one territory were the towns of Havre and Dieppe, and the extensive burghs of Bolbec and d'Yvatot. Several of the moat opulent bout. geout in the ancient and fine town of Caen have married Call. cholas; and so devoted are these females to their singular heel. dress, which is allowed by every one to be very becoming, that they still continue to wear it, unless on very particular motions. Thit.' leg the carnival, the ladies of Caen are particularly fond of adopt. ing the disguise of a Cauchoise at the masked balls given at the theatre. This head-dress is very ancient, being that worn by 6, 1 Syrians in the time of the crusades, with very little alteration: which change took place In the reigns of Charles VI sail Charles VII, when an enormous head-dress came in vogue, callel a hermit s; the ornament on the Cauchoise am very much resembl e the hennin, only it is not so enormously wide; the henoins were sometimes so broad, that in a narrow street or lane two female could with difficulty walk abreast. This rich head-dress worn the females of the Pays de Cane is remarkable, not only for antiquity, but its splendour; among those in easy and affluent curnstances, it was composed of a caul superbly brocaded in or silver, or oesilk enriched in the sane manner, and a long ye clear muslin, bordered with lace : the only change that has of years taken place is, that the caul is made of fine muslin or and the rest of the cap, with its veil and ornaments, of then beautiful lace—an article in great perfection in Caen, as the cur. , sliely well made lace there will bear, withuut injury, that stig . eve which is so requisite to the Cauchoise cap, without in the taking from the fine appearance of' its delicate texture. Ant change took place several years ago, and greatly for the bean• this head-dress: Isabella of Bavaria, and the beauteous AP Sorel, discovered no hair when they wore the Syrian head-dt& and during very many years the Cauchoises gatiwred all their t:, together under the caul of the cap. The first change consisting discovering a small to n pet of hair in front ; lately a few charter ringlets have been taught to stray over the temples ; then curl! around the face, en antreutm ; but we do not admire what took el; about fifteen years ago, perhaps before, but it was then we 0 . selves witnessed it, anti were told it was new; this is two links of hair brought down over each side of the throat in to The veil, also, at that time, h a d un d ergone some nietarnoreW it was formerly plain muslin trimmed with lace. put on straight: the lace was plaited, end the v e il l a id i n folds ; many also, who had fine hair, wore t h e cap without any caul.
