PARISIAN FASMONS.

Plaited gauze and ribbons form always tire trimming; but the combination of these variegated plaits is, notwithstanding, disposed with such symmetry, that if one has not seen them rumpled one upon soother, one would believe them moulded.

Last night, a new Musical Drama, intitled Font Awl, will Rise," was produced for the first time at this Theatre. The Charafters were thus represented : Mortimer Mr. CYAtII4III. finery Noressur Mr. Da Como. Don 'Unita .Mr. A Mood* ..Mr. Sao. • Trump Mr. Maeusws. Peals .Mr. PAL till. Lomas Mies Doses. Di-itches Dosscroa. The Scene is laid in Madrid, and the circum stances by which a long perpetrated murder is brought to light, constitute the subject and incident, of the piece. The horrible, however, is not worked up with judgment, and excites little interest ; nor is this defect in the serious part of the piece com pensated by any merit in the comic part, introduced to relieve it. In the latter, however, Mr. BA/U*lsElin and Mrs. HARLOW'S exerted all their strength, and produced all the effeel of which it is capable. I he part allotted to Mr. MAITREVII afforded no scope what ever, for a display of his talents. The disapprobation of the audience began to manifest itself at an early pe riod, and continued to encrease until the curtain dropped. It was announced for repetition. but we think it probable that it will be withdrawn. Many pieces of this class, of perhaps no better texture, have had a short run ; but they have been indebted to the charms of the music for their favuurahle re cerion. The present piece has no such recom. mendation. The music is on a par with the other Lisiedients. Tuesday rren:ng, at sir o'clock.

This day an inilisition was held before the Shcr.ff of the County of Dublin, for the purpose of assessing the damages in the cause ofCatherine Byrne against Charles Frazer Frizell, against whom judg ment was obtained by default last term, in an atition of trespass, for that on the 3d of February last, the Defendant, with Ensign Costly, and several soldiers under his command, broke into the Plaintiff's house in ItatiffarnliAm. and did there commit several out rages, and did assault the Plaintiff, for which she laid her damages at .5001. Mr. CURRAN stated the case of the Plaintiff, in one of the most eloquent and animated speeches ever delivered by him ; he observ..d, that be felt very great pleasure in seeing that laudable anxiety with which the Ugh Sheriff of the County attended here on this occasion. That this was one of the most attrocious, the most insolent, and tit most ex•-crable pieces of wickedness that ever hiaion was guilty of since the creation. It was' thong.- that by letting a silent jut-term-re: go 1:.••••nst thorn by detattlt, titey could hare a Jury ei •J up before the Sheriff, and thereby avoid the rdious pu Ate atrocity v hich woeld he otherwise ger• :ally atm bed to their cha ro•eters He then stare • • h o ot the i l ritoff, Is Herne. was poor, old, and izebie ; t th-lend en young. rich, and strong; th r Mr:. •r c a house to atitfarnham, whet .• y.he rat lie,. s • ,ie ii,tie busi ness, by which sh.• ea; is l• st livelihood : the Rev.

Mr. 1. the lawyer, lull of those precepts he had learned in Lis study, and ,Ir. C. the soldier, having the King's coat on his back, and the King's sword in his hand, with this most extraordinary va lour, this execrable. this abominable valour, broke open the door of this sLeinceless tld woman, and, after having destroyed es cry article of furniture she had in her house, the Deiera!ant, with frantic vio lence, levelled a blow, with his sword. at the !pang woman. the Plainuff's itlation, in whose face we need but look to be inspir ..h far different pas sions, than the desire of i• under: the blow was fortunately warded off by tne musquet of a private soldier. He stated how the priest ha escaped out of a back window, into Lord Elr's demesne, where he remained until morning ; that when he heard of it in the morning, he thanked God the people did not. fired with indignation, attempt any thing con trary to the la•v ; that he bad 110 ClaUbt3 but the Government would use every effort. would strain every nerve, to bring to punishment the perpetrators of this etetrable wicitedhess ; but, to his utter asto nishment, nothing was done, not a single procla mation was issued, not a single step was taken.— l'he Grand Jury did as they ought—they imme diately found the bills; bat other people did 'not behave as they ought. " I can tell you," said Mr. Curran, " how it was received at the other aide of the water, when they that a man. with a capital felony charged against him, should be admitted to bail; but so it was—such is the age in which we live. He took his trial—he did not attempt to prove any thing in palliation of his crime— he appeared, as a mourning penitent, by his tears, to expiate his guilt. There was a verdia of ac quittal, the Jury, inimeorlcl may Mee Aek scarcely waited for their names to be called over, but almost spewed out their verdict of acquittal. What was their reason for d •ing sock a thing! It was be cause, from te:igious b•giery, which has been the bane of this co.a.:ry, and which no man was ever possessed of but a f-.• 1 or an ars. they thought it a viftory. They being themselves of one patty., thought it a decisive vi9ory gained over the other. The Plaintiff has broueht 1 er tcftion against fir. Friaell ; as to Mr. Costly we all know what was his sentence; but I can tell you mote, he is to be li berated. It is thought that a spirited young man like him should not ha doomed to so long confine ment; he is to be 'liberated, and thereby give ano ther victory to that party who think they have al ready gained one by the acquittal of Mr. Frizell. It is cell? waited for un.il you shall dentean your selves by giving a verdia similar to the last ; for three or lour pence, perhaps, the pike of a pot of be..r, that be may be liberated, and the whcle af fair may then rest in total oblivion; yon are now standing your own trial. You have it in your power to debase yourselves like the Eimer Jury, or to atone, by this your honest verdiet, for the degra dation of the name of Juror. Let me give you my advice, I say advice, for I think I am at liberty to give it, I have had it in my power to tie you up in bundles, to bring you to market. and raise myself by the sale ; but I chuse rather to stay amongst you. On this account I think I have a right to give you my advice. You can give but sall. you C311:10C again iedia the offender. It is past; you cannot retract the verdict of acquittal. It is past ; you cannot prevent the pardon and promotion of Mr. Costly, that is pa.t ; hut you might as well attempt. by putting your tout upon the eartb, to s top its cireurnvolution, as stop the determined and well eared pardon and promotion of that most ex cellent young man. Ido hope, therefore, th it as mach as is in your power you will give, that is to the fun amount of the damages laid in the de slat-a:tea." Several tvitneices were then erantiletf, Almost all of whom had given testimony to the sem* effeEt on the trial of Mr. Frizell for an assault of th:" Priest. Mr. OiDiticcot., foi the Defendant, endeavoured to exteruare the condo& of his client, and called the brother to the Defendant, who proved he was in had circumstances. Mr. M‘NALLT, for the Plaintiff. spoke to evi. dente. At four o'clock the Jury retired ; and, after being locked up for four hours, at eight found a verdict for the Plaintiff-2501. dasmges, and sixpence costs. Thursday, being the anniversary of the battle of Aughrim, several of th• Yeomanry Corps fired round the statue of. King William, in honour of the Kernble's Rolle, as we weeks!. attraaed a mi. tneeous•andience on Thursday evening. It was a performance so rich in excellence. that it is impos. sible to bestow adequate praise upon it. Yesterday, a master shoemaker was fined 101. for ernploying journeymen cf that trade. who had, ille4ally left the work of Mr. Willi tm Warren, shoemaker. of South Georges-street, through mea sures of combination. The complaint was heard before Aldermen Vance ani 'Thorpe.—One ball of the above fine is to go toward. the support of Met cers' Hospital. The same day, adjudicatkns for combination were made against five jogrneymcn shoeni ike7s, in the employ of Mr. Bagnall, of Gewges-street, Anti so,,rrants issued for their appreben , ion, to be con fined four months in the New Pti-on. On TitesdAy n;g4t several w - !re cut down on Mr. Vernon's ground, t!

We are not prepared to give implicit credit to these rumours, neither will we say that they are the offspring of malice or de sign. The late spint of combination amongst the tradesmen may have given them birth ; and yet it is insinuated that the mee:ings were not held 1-,r the purpose of regulating train •r and longer, but for efAcr ptrpases and minipill. We hope this insinua tion will prove unfounded. It would be a matter of regret with every friend of humanity—with every goad Irishman—should any descri k rion of persons be found so rash as to assume a revolting disposition against the existing Government of Irelan.l. Olg vwts oh. v—the Anniversary of the French Revolution, of that extraordinary convulsion which has deranged the intelleets of Europe, and by all distinctions of Nobility and badges of Slavery were destroyed; rn this day, when, perhaps, the ex republicans will swear allegiance to a system.against which they have repeatedly sworn eternal hatred— on this day. it is apprehended that an insurrea• rn will take place; but, from all that we can learn, we venture to assert that such apprehension is totally unfounded.—(Deb/in Beep.

For several months past, some condemned houses; in the front of Sc Clement's Church, in the Strand, have remained in the most tottering and perilous state. As they have been uninhabited, no cause can be assigned for their not having beent e :: since taken down. The Proprietors, however. will soon be saved even that trouble, as they are now evidently giving way, and are expeaed every hour to fall into the street. The probable consequence, in so populous a place, is frightful to contemplate. Should the loss of a passenger's life be the result, L should be glad to know what justification the Pro prietors can set up after this notice. and the ACentlrt of the accident at Mile End, in TUC BRITISH PRIM of yesterday.
