GENERAL OBSERVATIONS ON LADIES' DRESSES. - Never were there fewer novelties in fashions than at this period ; indeed it is difficult to se l ec t a something that leas not been worn fur sotn.: time past ; alth oug h we are d azzled with the brillia nc y 0 1 the objets we attempt to describ e , i t inquires the great est perspicuity and discernment, and m uc h close observ at i on, to select with judgment the many different costumes tut our elegant Belles. The most prevalent full. dress , tor an evening are those composed of white, pink, o r orange crape, richly ornamented with gold or silver ; these trains are worn over sarsiiet or satin slips., The decorations for the head were never more simple and elegant than at pre. sent ; tiaras of gold, silver, steel, or bugles, are graceful and becoming ornaments. Black or Maroon laces, embroidered in gold or silver, are now so , much in vogue, that scarce a fashionable Lady appears,ih public without theta; they are •AVOITa aooording to the taste or the wearr., GENTLEMEN'S DRESSES. A.N. HALT FULL-DRESS FUR GEnrt.mixs--Is composed of a light olive double-breasted coat, buttoned close up, with covered buttons of the same cloth as t h e c o at ; yellow strip ed toilenet 'waistcoat, light brown Angola pantilotini, and haMbouts. The hair cropped 4la Titus. GENERAL OBSERVATIONS ON GENTLEN/EN'S DRESSES. Blue coats, with black velvet collars, are quite the rage. Velvet collars are now not only general on blue coats, but on Olive rand dark green coats, which are likewi be 14:turning ex tremely prevalent ; these are, however, the only colours on .which the velvet collars are used fur evening coats ; the blue coat he,s, of course, a flat gilt button Cot what is tanned the standard colour gold), but all other evening coats have covered buttons.. The morning -dress i s fl uc t uating ; scarlet waistcoasts are On the increase ; and, we doubt not, will ob tain some preference during the present month. Coats, breeches, and pantaloons, seem to continue much the same ; indeed the severity of the weather renders a great coat more and more necessary, which does away the opportunity of dis playing any particular taste in the close coat. Olive brown great coats are still the most in favour, and the silk skirt lining is generally adopted. Velvet collars and lappet facings do nut, however, keep pace with the silk skirts, as every great coat sports that ornament, which, we believe, arises princi pally from the velv e t being scion deprived Of iti appearan c e after suffering a few showers of rain, and also as it so soon changes its colour.

Dnn= Grogan stood capitally - indi6led for a highway robbery, - committed, on the 2.lith of Febru ary last, "on Mr. John Herd, formerly master of a Holyhead packet. It appeared,.by Mr. Herd's tes timony, that as he was returning 1'10m: town .to• his house, near Ball's-bridge, he was met by 4 men at this side of the bridge, who took the wall of him,. when immediately a pistol was discharged at from the shOt of which lie received a wound under the left eye; he was knoCked down--% as much stunned by the fall, and when he recovered, he found hia>>elf in the arms of his assailants—he struggled much to extricate himself, and called out for help. He was again thrown on the ground, and his pockets and fob rifled. of a silver watch, a knife, poCket pistols, &c. He identified the pistol, which is of curious constru6tion, having the property of discharging from one - barrel, two distin& shots, by one effort to fire. The ,witness also identified - the Prisoner, whom he had seen at the Superintendant Magistrate's. • apprehended the P r i soner Toole, a Peace Officer, on Sunday :se'nnight, near the Ferry Slip, oppo site Charles-street.---He then found on his person this pistol, primed • and loaded, also some powder and ball, and a silver watch, but not the Prose tutor's. The Prisoner denied his name to Toole, and persevered in doing so—He seemed to de spair and entreated the Constable to shoot him he was compelled to use soine . threats•of firing, in order to disperse - a great mob who stir -rounded them' when the Prisoner was taken -into custody.- 'Notwithstanding a great variety astrOng circumstances, and the Recorder's charge, by no means favourable to a decided acquittal, the Jury returned a verdi6l,,lVot•Gui/ty, but entreated the Court to impose some constraint on the Prisoner, such as extraordinary bail. This the Recorder re fused,. alledginv that, as by their verdict of ac quittal they bad let him loose on the public, they should share the same danger ,to which they had subjected their fellow-citizens. He would have been accordingly discharged, but that three other capital indictments, on charges equally atrocious, are found against him. John Byrne stood capitally indieled- Tor robbing Robert Norris of a gold watch, on the night of the 27th of February, in Great Frederick-street, North. Mr. Norris proved the robbery, And iden tified the watch, Which was found with a cabinet maker,: of the name of Barker, Who bought it for . six guineas. The Prisoner, under much feeling and compunion, made a free and uninfluenced confession .of the robbery to .111 r. Hall, Secretary at the Superintendaut Magistrate's Otlic9, and gave information where Too!e, a .Peace Officer, might apprehend Grogan, giving him at the same time a caution that he was.annecl with a loaded pistol. The Prisoner was found Guilty ; but the Jury, at a hint from the Recorder, recommended him as an ob je6t of mercy. He said he would transmit the re commendation to Government, in consideration of the humanity the Prisoner displayed in • putting the Constabl4 on his guard.—court adjoufued. POLICE; SWINDLING. . . . 1 • QUEEN ' S - SQUARE.---'-YCSteiday Richard Andiezi . ;s, a man of very gentleman-like appearance, for whOse. i apprehension a reward h as • been offered, u n d e rw ent anekatriination, on the charge of Swindling. Colonel Davison, the p r i nc i p al accuser in this case, stated, that he first became acquainted with the Prisoner in the Kimp Bench - . It was very ma:- terial for the Colonel to get a seat in Parliament ;., and as the Prisoner bad often represented hirnSelf as a man. of family, and intimately 'connected with Some of the first charaCters in the country; the Colonel disclosed Ins affairs to the Prisoner; whd undertook to assist in forwarding his intention.---- The Prisoner described himself as the intimate ac= qnaintance of _the, Earl of Besborough, Earl Pttz william,..Lord Robert Spencer, &c. froni whom he received contributions . for his support in prison. After 'the .Colonel had left the Bench, impres;ecl with .a belief that , the Prisoner could forward hiS views, he frequently relieved him with pecuniary trifles, for which, in return, he received grateful let= ters., After a short time, the Prisoner was liberated from prison, by the Insolvent Aft; and be then carried his pretensions to -the' extreme ; by observing that he had been offered a seat in Parliament by Earl Fitzwilliam,- but it would be ill-becoming him to, accept of it, having been so recently, liberated froM prison by the Insolvent A& ; and he would, by t he interest of Earl of Besborough, have the honour conferred on the Colonel, as it was through the in terest of the Earl, ,that Eati. Fitzwilliam's promise was to be realized. The Colonel went to dine with B. Goldstnid, Esq. at Roeharnpton, I ant. the . P risoo er acCompanied him in his carriage to the Earl of Bes= borough's house, at the same place,, but the Earl W;1.4 from home. The Colonel saw the PrkOner'agaln in a, day or' two, when he informed him that he had ' conversed with the Earl of Besborongh, on the subjea of Earl Fitzwilliain having offered him (the Prisoner) a seat in Parliament; and the Earl jo-: cosely remarked, " I should take you for a Sir ~.Launcelo Greaves or a Don Quixote,- to want i seat, after taking the benefit of 'the In'solvent ACC' —After that, the . Prisoner said, the conversation was more serious, and the Colonel, 'as' his friend; was. to have the seat prothised by Earl Fitzwil liana; ' The PriSoner went nu to state, that he was cdfineeted with the 'Earl of` Besborough, who had . four Boroughs in Ireland, and who would dispose of them t '4OOOl. each ; and if the Colonel should have other friends to accommodate, he might have the preference, as the Noble - Earl had• authorised him-to find candidates. The' Colonel -found candi dates . for all the- &roughs the Prisoner had talked of; and, by his desire, the price of the, seats was deposited in the hands ofa Banker. The candi dates,. when they became Members, -wore to retain their seats for five•years, in case of, a. dissolution of Parliament. The . Colonel here observed, that he had such full 'confidence in the Prisoner, as by his artifices to have' been led away in a manner that made him look more like an aceornnlice in the de ception of the Prisoner; than his dupe. He had been so deceived by, the plausible pretences, and the solemnity-of the Prisoner's condua, .that his mind was tranquillized, ancl he had Obtained of him (the Colonel) and his friends, by his recommendation, 40001. he having got 20001. in two payments, as he said, for the'Earl of Besborough, as part ofthe con sideration for the - Boroughs in Ireland. The other money consisted in relieving the temporary ernbar rassments of thz - Prisoner, and acce pti ng hi s bill s. The Colonel 'had' ac,cePted bills for a carnage ; which the , Prisoner had, made in Poland -street, for 'his stud, &c. besides which, were those of dif ferent trades-people., The Colonel went on with tt narration of circumstances similar to those which we have related; but which our limits will not per mit us to enter into. : . ColOiiel Davison having at length entertained some §uspicion. of the Prisoner being an impostor, waited 'on the 'Earl of Besborough, when he found his suspicions realized, for he was merely a de , t )en= dant on the - Noble Earl's philanth ro p y , combined with that of other Nobles. . The Earl of Besborough proved, that he knew no more of the Prisoner than having received letters from him while in prison, asking relief, which he granted to him in trifles.' The Noble Earl knew nothing of what had been related . respecting the Boroughs, and the other Noblemen who had beeh talked of, knew no-more of the Prisoner, than bay ing- afforded ,relief• to his distresses, - having been written to as well as himself. A Gentleman, who had agreed to purchase one of the Boroughs, on the recommendation of the Colonel, proved. that he had paid the Prisoner 4001, as part of the, consideration for the same,, and he had been completely misled., . • Several. industrious trades-people are considerable sufferers by the conduct of the Prisoner, but their charges were not entered into. Tile Prisoner was re-committed till a future day. The Prisoner formerly kept his unpaid-for car riage in Half-moon-street, Piccadilly, but he was apprehended by Gill iner and .Renney, Police Officers, in an obscurelodging . in liVestmintter. POOLE, MARCH 3 1..-- , In the expealation of a speedy dissolution of. the present Parliament, an ac tive canvass has taken place here, between,. the two present Members (Mr.'GARLAND and Mr. JEFFERY) and Mr; SPURRIER, son of a respeEtable Merchant .of this place. . _ The report of BONAPARTE having 'been wounded in the back, at the Battle of Eylau, having puzzled some of our Quid Nunes, as he was stated to have pursued the Russians, an Irish Gentleman . reconciles the - apparent' - contradiction by observing, that the crafty Chief might have had his coat buttoned beftind.
