(Signed) ROULAND. FASHIONS FOR JUNE. (Front Le Follet.) The inunmse valley of new uiteriAls—not u frequently a were modification of an old inater:a' brought forward under a new name—renders it an impossibility fur us to enume • ate them. We and, however, that foulard of differeu. kinds is very fashionable, more especially the " Celeste -Empire," which has the tex ture and brilliancy of China crapes; and the new Japanese, a kind of silk cloth, which does not crumple easily, and is not injured by a shower of rain. Pale, dlicate colours are very much in vogue, but, of course, it is not every complexion they will nit, so that at tittles they are trimmed with a brighter colour, ren lering them less trying, Buell as violet ou pale s - raw. The costume entirely of the same shade is per'oaps the more recercla ; .still we sec many pretty combinations of two contrast ing colours, or of black with colour. Pouffs and paniers continue in almost universal favour, under a variety of names, such as the tunique ea veriugadins en camargo, en poufs, and en paniers " Louis XV." lint we find it very dktinetly affirmed by the Parisian chronic!ers, that the true Parisienne will allow of no exaggeration of style ; hence these paniers must be so arranged as not to produce an ungraceful effect, a-I is too often the case. Flour' cs are very much worr, and generally a number of little flounces seem pr, (erred. Coloured . - thuslin robes, with scallored ibunees, are very pretty over a silk petticoat, the bottom being scalloped and worked in dote with silk. There is a new manner of making long dresses into short, by merely looping them up with bows of a darker shade than the material. This loop- ug up may, of course, be dole in a variety o styles ; thus a dress may answer two purposes—for walking or dinner toilette—by having two bodies. Bodies are for the most part made open, either heart shaped or square ; they continue also to be made to fasten down the side 31a Polonaise. The plain coat-sleeve is still worn with all styles, but we also see sleeves slashed with bouillons, or with wide masquetaire revers. Sabot sleeves are only for very elegant or dressy toilette. Costumes for young girls are very stylish when made of Algerine material or foulard, and white alpaca or cashmere; thus a petticoat of striped foulard of very bright colours, with a tunic and Sohn, with square ends, forming Lasques before and behind, of white alpaca, trimmed all round with a plisse of the same material as the petticoat. body and long sleeves, also of strip e d f ou l ar d. To complete this costume the hat should be trimmed with Algerine ribbon. Some very pretty costumes for bright weather are made with the petticoat of foulard or taffetas of a pale colour, trimmed with several small flounces, with an upper skirt and low body of black greoa dine or China crape; the high body and sleeves, and sash with large bows, matching the under- skirt. The Roman scarf, or reversible sash, with man, coloured stripes on white, green, or blue ground, is very elegant upon white, pale straw, maize, or black dresses. The " Watteau" ribbon, either plain or in stripes just separated by threads of black and orange, is made in all colours. Lace is much used again, both as a trimming and in shawls, single or double, these latter having frequently bows of satin or silk to loop them up. We would now direct the attention of our sub scribers to the following list of dresses suitable to the present seasn. - A costume, the under-skirt composed of pearl grey silk, with four pinked or scalloped flounces, lined with lilac taffetas. Casaque with tight body, tunic in front and trained behind, looped up en paniers on each side by a cord and button. The body is trimmed with a wreath of daisies, formed of grey and lilac taffetas, put on to imitate a small round cape. A similar trimming is placed round the tunic and sleeves. The trained part of the tunic has also a flounce pinked at each edge. Costume of Algerine material—white, with satin stripes—looped up on each side by a mauve taffetas scarf over an under-skirt of taffetas of the same shade with plaited flounces. Dinner dress of green and white glace silk. The train is cut like a Court mantle, and edged with plaitings and pinked flounces. Low body, trimmed round with fringe, frills, and ruches. Two basques form a tunic, and paniers at the back of the skirt. Sash with large bows. Toilette for visiting. Robe of mauve coloured poult de soie, with a long train, the front trimmed apron fashion with ruches of satin of a deeper shade. The train is trimmed with a satin flounce, headed by two ruches of satin. Large black lace mantle, fastened in by a bow of mauve satin, and having very long hanging sleeves. Costume of foulard, striped brown and white. Under-skirt with two wide cross-way pieces, put on flat. Upper skirt looped under, so as to form one large pouff. A small corselet of brown taffetas, with braces, basques at the sides, and long sash with bows, completes this pretty toilette, especially suite' to a very young lady. Morning costume of straw-coloured foulard, the upper skirt lightly gathered at the waist, formed into paniers by a thick chicoree ruche, and looped up at each breadth by a Touff of ribbon with long ends. Open body, with revers and small basques, trimmed round with a very narrow plaiting of rib bon. Sleeves open a little up from the wrist, show ing the lace under-sl,eas. 2ARLIA 'EN; HOUSE OF COMMONS —LA..sT EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sail he ould not adopt the suggestion of the right hoe. gentle eau opposite (Mr. Hunt) fur abolishing the examination .f items of the coats of criminal prosecutions in indictable •ffences, and substitute for the fine a fixed payment to the owl treasurer. The costs of such prosacutions differed very materially, as, for instance, the coat of a prosecution in Essex was £B, in Berkshire .EJ, in Cheshire .£l.l, and in Lancashire £23 ; and he was quite unab'e to strike an verage on those figures without doing injustice to some aardeular plan. The cost of ,examination to the country was only £3,400, and as the work was done well he did lot think it would be advisable to alter the present ar ement. PUNISHMENT OF CIIILDREN. Mr. BOWRING gave notice that on an early day be 4hould ask what truth, there was in the statameqt that ;ad appeared of two childean, about five years of age, being fined 2s. each for breaking down and stealing a par don of an oak fence. CUSTOMS AND INLAND REVENUE. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. HUNT complained that there had been no dis mssion on the second reading of this bill, nn I there 'ore he proposed to call the attention of the right hon. gentleman to some of the peculiarities of the proposition he had made with a vieer of meting he deficiencies that ha I occurred in the revenue of the touutry. He thought the arrangement with respect t the payment of certain taxes most objeetionable, more especially the income tax. The deficiency, he believed, had been set down by the right honour dale gentleman at £3,400,0 1 0, and supposing the bill now under consideration to receive the assent of Parliament, the sum of .C. 1,910,000 would fall into the hands of the right hon. gentleman. lie thought it most objectionable that the pressure should be put upon the taxpayer just at the particular time when the greatest strain was always made upon his resources at the beginning of every new year. It was also said that £lOO,OOO would be saved in the collection of the income tax under the new arrange ment ; such an arrangement was a good one supposing it could be conveniently done, but he thought the incon venience and oppression that would be occasioned by the payment of the whole of the assessed taxes at the com mencement of the year would very far outweigh any ad vantage to be reaped by the change. Another effect of the arrangement of the right hon. gentleman would be that the Exchequer balances would be seriously interfered with, and, indeed, to such an extent that it would prove a great inconvenience to future Chancellors of the Exchequer. The more convenient course he thought would have been to have made the income tax payable in the January quarter. and the len 1, house, and assessed taxes in the July quarter, which would have avoided the great inconvenience which was now the principal objection to the proposals he had made to the house. The payment of taxes at one particular period was in itself a good one, but the ennui- Laing the payment of all the taxes into the same quarter ..if the year was the great inconvenience of which ha com- plaineci The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said before be replied to the observations of the right hon. gentleman he might say that owing to representations that had been made to him from various quarters it was the iuteLtien to allow the exemption of br sod mares from duty 'Hear, hear.) lie did not see that the income-tax payer was hardly dealt with by tae proposition ho had submitted o th, house, and with respect to one of the hardships ateutioned by the right hon. gentleman, viz., the ccmpelsory payment of five quarters income tax in one year, that was always done if 12 months were taken instead of the financial year. There was, in fact, no great h Irdship, as the disadvantage was fully compensated for by the advantage given in October, when they did not ask for any tax at all. With respect to the Exchequer balances, he did net think there need be av misgivings, because although it was said he should have to go to the Bank of England for a loan, he did not think there was any particular objection to that., without it 'was with respect to the amount they would have to pay for the ao commo lation. Bat that particular objection it w his intention shortly to meet by proposing to the house a bill giving the Government the power of borroW ing from the Commissioners for the roduetion of theNa ional Debt. (Hear.) He did not agree with certain strictures hat had been made with respect to the duty the Chan .;ellor of the Exchequer owed to the Bank of England. (Hear, hear.) He dii not see that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was to pass by everything for the benefit of the Bank of England. `Hear, hear.) It was the Chancellor's first duty to take care of the taxpayer and not Lis duty to put a large tinouut of capital into the concern, adinimbly maTmzed as it was, in order that the monarch which the mercha.ats kid set up might more effectually control the market than it di.l at present. Mr. CRAWFORD said it was most fortunate for the eight hon. gentleman that he had not to undergo an exami nati.m before the Civil Service Commissioners previous to taking °a m, if so he would have found it difficult to make those gentlemen under,tand that a man did not piy more money in five quarters' income tax than he did in four. ([sear, hoar.) According to the calculation of the right hon. gentleman in three years, if that arrangement was to last for that period, the tax payer would be called upon for fifteen quartors taxes. He thought the right hon. gentleman had scarcely done the Bank of England jastice. It was not the duty of the Baak of England to find funds for the commercial community. (Hear, hear.) Its duty was to take care of the funds of its proprietors, to put them to the best purposes, and not to create a resource to be male useful on cases of emergency. With respect to the Bank hoist ing storm signals, when it did so it was only to induce that degree of caution being used which he regretted to say in many cases was entirely disregarded. Mr. BARNETT said he was another of those who was mystified by the Chancellor of the Exchequer's calcula tion with respect to the payment of five quarters of income-tax in 12 months. The proposition, he thought, would ultimately turn out to be a mode of getting two years' taxes in one, which he did not think would be very highly approved of by the taxpayer. After some further discussion, the schedule was agreed o, and the bill was reported to the house. CI VIL OFFICES (PENSIONS) BILL. Mr. HUNT carried a proviso that no pension shall at tach to an office hereafter created except those created by Act of Parliament. Sir IL SELWIN-IBBETSON'S Beerbouses Bill was considered in Committee, and on the motion of Mr. Alder man LUSH its operation was extended to the metropolis. Several other bills were forwarded a stage, and the house thou adjourned. Bank of England Returns.
