The continued warmth of the weather renders yet the sus. lia pelisses and spencers to be almost universally•adopted : • seem elite latter are of clear hook muslin, trimmed with wry full trimmings of muslin, richly embroidered at the sage. Scarf shawls, mantles, arid sarsoet wraps are only moo on evenings, when retureing from the rooms or from i crowded parties. Boonets for the carriage are of white satin, crooned with damask roses,' or made treaspureut of fine net, almost co vered in alternate stripes, crosswise, of Freer+ white satin Ahead : these bonnets are generally crowned with holly hock blossoms: but aothiog caw be more admired, or mere deserving admiration, than the Cambridge dress hat of pale pink sails, embroidered in cockleshells, in thread straw, and lisisbeijoy shill plume of white ostrich feathers: this ste rol hat I. partially turned op in frost. For walking, the Cheltenham bminet of Meier striped straw, with a simple . senament of white roses r or a large Leghorn, - will, little triune' except blond and ribbaad, are reckoaed most Sashkosable, and aro very universally adopted.

HALL OUTRAGEOUS ASSAIL/LT AND BRUTALITY. Yesterday a young man of gentlemanly exterior, who slated his name to be itttieet Copley Raiser Mostogn, son of Lord Montagu, and Captain m his Majesty's terrier, Ifrois brought before R. S. Chambers, Esti charged by five watchmen of the Surrey New.reul with assaniting them in the folluvring extriturelinaiy manner : On Sunday night, Captain Montagu was walking arm i* arm at the end of IYeatnimster rued with Lieut. Bentham, of the V itth regiment, and pushed against a Gentleman and Lady very rudely, the Gentleman spoke to him of his im proper conduct, wisest he knocked him down ; Ilse Lady faint e,, snit the Gentleman gut op and collet! witch, and mother Gentleman accidentally passing, spoke to Capt. Montagu of his behaviour, when he received a violent blow, and down he fell, and was soon glad to make the twat of his way off. Br this time Smith, a watchman, came up, and asks d the former Gentleman whim lila assaulted lion 1 tieladenant Bentham tame forward and said, assaulted Inns, and advised Capt. Montagu to go off, and lie would settle nut ters. The Gentleman could so sly alit thee the Captain or Lieutenant assaulted him, and the watt-11111mi advised the Captain to go home ; he immediately knocked the watchman down and kicked him. Newsted, another watchman, then came up, and he received a terrible blow on one eye which closed it up and sent him down ; another watchman, named Matthews, then made his appearance, and he received a blow so violent that he fdl senseless close to his colleagues. One of the widelitnen could do no service in secitrisig the Cap tain, he bring blind of one eye, and the Captain having chowd the other. The other two watchmen were kept by him at bay, until another watchman, bearing the rattles stirring, came up; he boldly seized the Captain and se cured bins; but the poor old fellow suffered for isis teme rity, the Captain having got the watchman's hand into his mouth, bit is large piece entirely oft the side, which fell oat of his mouth upon the ground. The poor ferow l by the extreme pain, was compelled to loose him, and meet-iced kick es one eye; another watchman, who was .itl mire VOUOd, war kicked about the face and head until lie a %Whited a most shocking appearance; and another ant /lonian was kicked is a very dangrrous part of the body : at list, by this assistance of Lieutenant Bentham, he was taken to the watets..house. While he was in the watch-1 sssss BC he again at , tacked another watchman, by beating him on the head, and seised Sebriveer, a pantile, by the neck-clutli, mid nearly strangled him, and detained to slay Mr. Holmes, the watch-house keeper. He said he was Lord Montagu, and a Member of Parliament—be was superior to the law, mid the Magisgeates might . He hid killed one watch man, and thought no more of one than a dug, and declared ' that Mr. Holmes was au associate of the notorious Parson Church. The above being sworn* to by the different witnesses, and corroborated by Lieut. Bentham, Captain Montagu (as he called himself) said, " 1 supoure you think I was drunk when I did iris ?"—" Yes," replied the Magistrate, " ur I should think you wouli not have acted so infamously."—" No," the Captain said, " I was guile sober, and I will explain if ' you allow'stie w The Captain then said, that he did kopek down the gentleman, the former having affronted him, and • the latter having impertinently iuterferred. He had lent his hone on Sunday to his friend Colonel to gu to Lord and was to have dined himself with Lady —; be did not go, however, and accidentally met with the _earthman that had affronted him, and he knocked bust • dews. He was not charged 'with the watch ; and be be lieved they had no right •to have interfered ; one of the rascals impudently told him to " walk wt." To be spoke to by sorb fellows he could not bear, sod be knockud them down ai fast as they approached him. Magistrate—" And did you bite that poor fellow's hand ?" • Montagu (coolly)—" Yea, I did ; they interfered impro ',rely, and 1 ackiitiwledge 1 beat them all lam a young ,sinner just arrived from abroad, sad soy habits there, where I have cat down black men like wheat-0 Horrible!' eja culated several persona—may nut have impressed me with much respect for such fellows as these. But 1 sin ready to I have one thing 'to soy, and that is, wheu I was honest from the watch-boese this morning, I was clapt into a d —e--d dark cell at the back of the Office, amoupt felons." The Magistrate said that be regretted the circumstance, hut they had but one place in which they could secure pill sullefe. The Magistrate ordered the Captain to find bail, Ino housekeepers in 1001. each, to sumer for his appearance at the Sessions. ROBBERY AT ASTLEY'S THEATRE.
