FASHIONS FOR FEBRUARY.. LADIES' FASHIONS. (From La Belie Anon We.) OPERA DRESS.—Over a white satin slip, a dress of cape aerophane, with a broad hem at the border. The corsage is of velvet, of a violet-colour; long, and pointed in front, at the base, with a Sevigne drapery across the bust; in the centre of which is a cameo set in gold. The sleeves are of white crape, d la Marie ; with the fulness confined at the upper part of the arm, by gold armlets; and at the wrists by very broad bracelets of gold, each fastened by a cameo head. The ntancherons are formed of points of violet-coloured velvet. The head-dress consists of a velvet hat of violet-colour, placed very much on one side, and ornamented under the elevated part of the brim, on the right, with n gold chain cordon and one white feather, waving in a spiral direction towards the edge of the brim. The crown, which is very low, is surmounted with white plumage, play ing tastefully in various directions. The ear-pen dants are of gold, en girandoks ; with a necklace formed of three rows of massive gold chain-work. PROMENADE COSTUME. — A pelisse of black satin, finished at the border 1 la Wilzchoura, with chin chilli fur. The body made with fichu robings ; and round the throat is tied a round long tippet of chin chilli. The sleeves are d la Marie, and are con fined a little :shove the wrist, forming a bouillon next the hand ; which bouillon or puckering, at its termi nation, is made tight to the wrist by a very broad bracelet of gold. A hat of black velvet is worn with this dress, fastened under the chin by a men ticnnire of blond. The brim of the hat is orna mented underneath by bows of satin riband, the co lour of the blue wild-stock ; strings of which tie the hat, iu two ends, without loops, on the right side; over which side, from the crown, wave elegantly three black feathers. (Front the World of Fashion.) Over a white satin dress, with a flounce at the border o' the same, doubled in bias,. and set on in large, full plaits, was worn a superb black velvet robe, d r Artemise; this was splendidly trimmed all round, with a rich and costly fringe formed of Very small jet beads; the white satin dress, from the robe being left open in front, formed a fine contrast to the monotony of the black ; and the festoons of jet fringe, which seemed to fasten it in front, at sepa rate distances, produced a charming effect over the white s.vtin ; the bust of the robe was ornamented all round the tucker part with the same fringe. The short sleeves were of white satin ; over these were Jong ones transparent, and of white Japanese gauze : at Hie back of the sleeves hung the ancient drapery of the robes of Crete, somewhat like those now worn in Poland, adding much grace to the robe; and the-e were of black velvet, fringed with jet : the points at the wrists of the white sleeves were fluted, and similar to the antique British points. This truly classical dress of that self-devoted pattern of conjugal affection, Queen Artemesia, was finished by the regal coronet of former ages, formed of white satin, and the points edged round with pearls, from whence depended behind, as low as the feet, the distinguishing veil of royalty, worn at that period. Another dress for one of these brilliant occasions is that of a youthful grand Sultaness ; it consists of a pair of white satin Turkish trowsers, over which is worn a dress of the finest oriental muslin, spotted with silver, and embroidered with the same round th e border, in a very elegant pattern of Indian flowers. A short white satin tunic is put on over this dress, fringed round and embroidered with em bossed figures in silver, of the shape of pear-pearls, formed into flowers. The back of the waist con sists of bracers of white satin, laid in plaits ; and fringed with silver cockscomb-edging. On the shoulders are ornaments of fine oriental pearls, and in front of the bust is a Turkish crescent of the same valuable materials. A belt of white satin and-silver encircles the waist. The head-dress with this in teresting costume is a Turkish turban of French white satin and gauze, with a pearl crescent in front : a kind of diadem ornament, embellished with jewels of Various kinds, on white satin, in eastern figures, is placed near the crown ; the Turkish folds next the hair are of the Japanese-gauze, of which is the Sultana-veil, that depends behind, and which ie ornamented to correspond with the dress. The usual articles for female costume remain with but little alteration since our last accounts; what ever there is of novelty will be found in our engra vings. There is, however, among the new head dresses, a very magnificent turban for the evening paety, of gaze brillcrntee! the tissu of which is in real g.old. In the front is a fluted ornament of bright amber-wloured crepe aerophane, en eventail. On the right side is a bow, with short ends fringed with gold, of the fame material as the turban. The caps have experienced but little change since last month ; except that we Anti those of black blonde rather more in favour than there which are white; these are adorned with pink satin ribbon, with roses atul their buds, and are in the Peon style, Berets still continue in favour. Few bonnets are now seen in preference to black velvet ; we have, however, given a fee -simile in our first plate of one of an entire new shape, of striped silk; no head-covering can be more appropriate to the promenade, as it ties closely down, yet is ren dered intinitely becoming by being made short at the ears; it is on the walking figure, in a blue pelisse. In carriages a few velvet hats have been seen, and the Week velvet _ones are often ornamented with uigrettes, or esprit feathers. In carriages, the pelisses are of velvet, of different colours, and are often trimmed with fur, with a long pelerine- tippet of the same material. The out-door envelopes for walking continue the same as last month, with erevrce any alteration worth remarking. The colours matt in favour are marsh-mallow blos som, azure blue, piuk, amber. The green of the young holly, scarlet, and lemon-colour. tons.—The pantaloons made of black single kersey mere, are loose from the wrist to the knee, and fit ting beautifully from thence (quite close) to the ancle:, with black silk stockings and pumps.

The Gazette de France of Thursday contains an a?tide, stating that the Pacha of Widdin has passed the Danube at the head of 30,000 men, for the purpose of driving the Russians out of the Principalities, unless the Grand Duke CON ST ANTINE arrives in time to stop the invasion. We do not believe one word of the ab)ve. The Turks cannot act upon the offensive any more than the Russians, during the extreme severity of the weather ; and it is not likely the Russians should be in such small force as not to be able to resist any attack, of the Turks, seeing that they still retain their positions in Bulgaria. The ltfessager des Chambres contains a letter said to have been written by TCHAPAN OGLOU to Count LANGERON, giving him a friendly hint of what the Turks in tend to do—but the thing is clearly a weak invention of the enemy. The Constitutionnel publishes an article to prove, that if Russia has received a check in the last campaign, it was owing to her not having an effective force. " The total number of the Rus sian army was composed last year of about 400,000 regular troops, and 42,000 were irre gulars, making together 442,000 men ; she has lost last campaign 62,000, which re duced her army to 380,000, to which we must now add the new levies of 350,000, and it will be found that at the opening of the next campaign, Russia will have a disposable force of 730,000 men. The Turks, with the greatest difficulty, can only bring into the field half of that number ; but they are masters of Shumla, Silistria, &c., and the formidable Balkan Moun tains." Since the commencement of the war this Journal appears to have been so well informed on the affairs of Russia, and her intentions, that we may look on some of them as official. By an article in another part of our Paper it will he seen that the first division of Portuguese troops which sailed from Plymouth, arrived a t Terceira in eight days' run. The Sy/ph has brought accounts from that Island of the 9th inst. The following are extracts from Italian, Hamburgh, German, and Dutch Papers, re, ceived this morning : NAPLES, JAN. 4.

The Alexandrza United States Gazette, states that some enterprising merchants are load ing_the ship Pioneer with a cargo of upwards of 4,000 barrels of flour for Liverpool, while the crop of Grain this year has fallen far short of an average one, not only in Europe but in Ca nada, and many parts of the United States. The section of country from which our market is supplied has been peculiarly favoured, as we have an abundant crop, and that of very superior qua lity. The prospects of our farmers are cheering. The Morning Herald, which is decidedly, and we have no doubt conscientiously, opposed to the Catholics, has a paragraph this morning which may be considered as a sort of feeler in certain quarters, with respect to an alteration in the form of the oath taken by Members of either House. As the Herald may be c onsidered the Duke of WELLINGTON'S Paper—it is certainly Ministerial—we are induced to sup pose that the following article has reference to the decision lately come to by Ministers after their repeated Cabinet Councils It strikes us, and we long since put forth the thought, that when the King and his Cicwern ment have made up their minds to admit Catho lics into Parliament, the best plan would be merely to alter the oaths, taking out the words damnable; idolatrous,' &c., as applicable to the Catholic tenets, The alteration of the oaths, by taking out words objectionable to Catholics, would enable them to take seats in Parliament, and, excepting they afterwards raised further demands—which, however, at present we cannot see that they could—the question of Emancipa tion w ould _be . set at rest, without any of the present questions being raised, as to either the payment of the Catholic Clergy, or getting se curities from Catholics, or our having any thing to do with the Church of Route." In our Paper of to-day will be found an ample report of the particulars that transpired at the execution of BURKE— a monster who stands prominently forward in the annals of crime, and who was altogether deeper dyed in guilt than any miscreant on record, with the sole exception if that more glozing arch-fiend his instructor, whose life (were justice done him) would also be offered up in expiation ofhis self-acknowledged murders. The thousands that flocked to BURK g's execution were all inspired, as one man, with one individual impulse, and never yet was there a mob—and a Scotch one, if we may trust Sir W. SCOTT, is, when once roused, inconceivably terrific in its passions—inspired with a more just, energetic, or praiseworthy feeling. 'To talk of their "insulting exultations," 'as an Edinburgh Paper has phrased it, is nonsense : it is in the worst spirit of maudlin sensibility, and naturally leads the reader to conclude that they Were wrong in the expression of their feelings, Such feel ings were not " insulting"—they were simply just and natural ; and as such should be appre ciated.

SUDDEN DEATH OF THE BARONESS LE DESPENCER. This morning, at eleven o'clock, an inquisition was taken before Thomas Stirling, Esq. at Green's Hotel, Lincoln's-Inn-fields, on the body of Recited Frances Anto nini Lee, commonly called Baroness le Despencer, aged fifty years. Mr. James Green, proprietor of the hotel, deposed, the dereased resided here for the last seven months; she came in good health, and remained so until about ten days back. She occupied the first floor front, then retrieved to the third, and subsequently to her original apartments. Whet I con sidered strange was, her occupying as a bed-room a small apartment on the fourth floor front, the night she died. She was a very extraordinary woman, and I some time; thought her deranged, as she never would suffer herself to be attended by a female. The last time I saw her she talked fligkty, saying, " I am kept here a sort of prisoner, and you, Sir, contrite at it," &c. On coming from Hampstead, on Wednisday, I asked my waiter how she was, awl learned she WAS ill, and had not even then got up, although half. past three. o'clock, I went and knocked at the door, and getting no aeawer, procured a lock-smith to open the door, when her Ladyship was found dead in her bed ; her hands were clasped close and hanging out , of the bed. She had left her wax candle burning. The body was quite cold. Deceased never saw any company, except a Mr. Coper, her law agent. Abraham Christmas, waiter, deposed,—l always at tended on deceased ; I waited on her at dinner, last Wed nesday, at six o'clock ; she ate very sparingly of some fish. She had a pint of ale, and one of porter, but only drank two-thirds of each : she had also a pint of wine. I thought her eccentric, but not deranged. She usually rose from six to seven o'clock in the morning ; but on going to bed on Weducteley night, bid me nut to disturb her if she slept till four the next day. There was nothing tOund in her room to excite a suspicion that she made away with herself. No female or stranger was ever permitted to enter the room where she was. She was cheerful in her disposi tiuu, and I never saw her depressed. I used to assist her up and down stairs. Often when the inmates of the hotel were at rest, have I shown her at her desire the various rooms in the house. _ _ Mr. Titus Owen, surgeon, Chancery-lane, deposed—l am decidedly of opinion that the deceased expired of apo plexy. Verdict—" Died by the visitation of God." Her deceased Ladyship had formerly excited a great sen sation in the fashionable world, having been - carried off about 22 years ago by the two brothers, named Gordon, for which offence the eldest stood bis trial. Lord Errol will attend his duties in the House of Peers in a few days.—Dublin Morning Register. Mr. Liston, we regret to hear, met with a severe accident on Tuesday eceuing bit.

PARIS, JAN. 28.—The Danube is passed at every point; the Pucha of Widden is marching with 30,000 men against the Principality, and it is thought that unless the Grand Duke Constantine arrives in time to stop the invasion, the Russian army will be obliged to repass the Pruth. The three Ambassadors have arrived at Malta. We have the following communication from Vienna : " We learn from Constantinople that the negocia tions of Mr. Offley for the conclusion of a commer cial treaty between the Porte and the United States of North America have failed. The Americans re quired as the first condition, as the basis of the Treaty, the free navigation of the Black Sea. It is known at Peru, that the Reis Effendi had refused to make any concession ; in this respect people con sider this refusal as indicating a disposition to gratify England, and infers from it the possibility of an agreement with that Power." (Prom the Messager des Chambres of Jan. 28.) BUCHAREST, JAN. B.—For some days past great movements have been observed among the Russian troops who are assembling on the Danube. The Turks have thrown considerable reinforcements into their fortresses, and appear disposed to commence operations against the two Principalities. We hear of a letter from Tehapan Oglou to Gen. Count Langeron, which formally announces this in tention ;- and it is said to have caused this assembling of the Rit;sian forces. This letter is reported to be conceived in the following terms : " Sir—Yon ktimv me from the time of your cap tivity ; you must therefore, know that my word is sac , ed. I inforin you that it ,is my intention to at tack von, and . to exterminate your troops; and that h this view I shall penetrate at Tournoul, oPpo sit • Nicopoli, at the head of 12,000 cavalry, to keep in word, and . to clear.the two Pi incipalities of the p eseuce of your troop." Count Langeron, who was formerly taken pri soner by the Turks, has hail an opportunity of mak ing himself acquainted with the character of Tchapan Oglou ; accordingly, as soon as he received this letter, he lost no time in taking ell the necessary measures to resist the attack thus announced to him. In fact, a large body of the enemy's cavaliy has arrived at Tournoul, and more are expected. The ineassre, taken by the Rns.iails leave no room for alarm, and commercial affairs go on as usual ; nay, since the arrival of Russian regiments within the last week from Volhynia and Wallachia, and since the garrison of Bucharest has been reinforced, business has become active. The burdens caused by the war are counter-balanced by the sale of provisions and merchandise, by • which the inhabitants gain con siderably. The Commissioners appointed to inquire into the abuses, in execution of the contracts for the supply of the army, have terminated their labours, and Count Diebitsch is gone to St. Petersburgh to lay their re port before the Emperor. It is affirmed that many individuals etnploydd in high offices connected with the army, arc implicated in this report. • FRENCH FUNDS, .

The deceased Mrs. Copeland died at Chigwell, on the 10th November lust, leaving three children, and property amounting to 1,5001. ; after her decease a paper was found in a pocket-book belonging to the deceased, marked " my last will;" it was in all re spects a formal document, and made an equal distri bution of the property amongst her children, but the difficulty wus, that this paper was not dated, neither was it signed or attested—therefore administration could not be granted without consent of the Court. The COURT, upon being informed by Dr. Lush irgton the parties were all agreed, directed letters of administration to the eldest son of the deceased. IN THE GOODS OF ---- CARTER. Dr. HAGGARD stated that the deceased, - Carter, died suddenly at sea, intestate, leaving be hind him a widoW and three children, all of whom were at the present time in New South Wales, his present motion therefore was that administration might be granted to the father of the deceased for the benefit of the • widoW. The COURT ordered accordingly. MR. FARQUHAR'S WILL.—COLVIN v. FRAZER AND OTHERS. The KING'S ADVOCATE this morning commenced his arguments in support of the will of Mr. Far quhar. • The paper sought to be propounded was dated 7th March, 1814 ; 'it was attested by three witnesses, appoints eight executors, and was in all respects duly executed ; and Mr. David Colvin, one of the executors, had thought it in duty to his de parted friend to bring it under the considera tion of that Court. In the discharge of this duty he was sorry in having incurred the charge of dealing harshly with the other side ; but perhaps their anger was only natural, when it was considered they had been in possession of the property nearly twelve months before the ad ministration granted to Mr. Frazer was •called in. The question for the Court to decide was, did this document contain the will of Mr. Farquhar— if it did, and the other side could not prove that it was subsequently cancelled by Mr. Farquhar him self, it must be admitted to proof. The Learned Counsel then sent .oser the provi sions of the will,:which have been . before the public, and contended there could be no doubt that was the manner in which he wished the property to be dis tributed, and that he had formed the project of giv ing it to promote education in, Scotland, many years ago, appeared from letters as long back as the year 1790. He then states that he had mentioned the manner in which he intended to dispose of his for tune to some friends who were decidedly against it, and told him he ought to leave it to his relatives. " But," adds Mr. F., "my rela tives are unknown to me, and they cannot expect to have what I have obtained by the sweat of my brow. My mind is decided, and I will dis pose of it in that formal manner that no legal objec tion shall upset.—(The. Learned Counsel was pro ceeding with his argument when our Reporter left the Court.) The Bishop of Llandaff was on the Bench the whole morning, and appeared to take great interest itis the arguments. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

A . shopkeeper ,of Somers Town complains that some lads lately roblired his till of 21. 119. lid, and that the Magistrates only awarded s three months' impri sonment. But why should shopkeepers keep tills at all ? Why not put their money iu their lockets? in general, shopkeepers are not eo overburdened with mouey but they might .with ease carry it in their pockets. Shopkeeper,/ till« have caused many lads to become thieves, and many men to be hanged. In all cases of till-robbery we think the shopkeepers are almost as much to blame as those who rob. " And lead us not into temptation" is part of the Lord's Prayer ; and yet shopkeepers, take them in general, by keeping tilts, lead their servants, wives, and children ' " into temptation." Now, here is a ease where the shop keeper was too idle, or too genteel, to carry 12/. Hs. lid. in his coat, waistcoat, and breeches pockets, bat liue must keep it in a till. We almost wonder that the Magistrates awarded any punishment. —Morning Herald --ISuppone the 21. 11 s. lid. were all in penny pieces and half-pence, a thing not very unlikely in a retail shop, what would become of the poor man's breeches pockets ?---Era. Stns., SARAH CARTER.—'this case of this young woman appears to be by no means so extraordinary as will at first imagined ; for since the establishment of the watch, she has frequently asked fur drink, which has been accord ingly given to her. Affidavits to this effect have been drawn up and sworn to, by persons appointed to watch her. —Cambridge Chronicle. The public mina during the last week at Not tingham has been greatly alarmed by reports that some resurrectionists and Burkites were in the neighbourhood. Many absurd incidents occurred in consequence, and on one occasion an innocent man was taken up on suspicion of dealing in subjects. He was however acquitted. THE ORATORIOS. Our exemplary Theatrical Curios Morum, Mr. George Colman, has, it appears from. the bills, thought proper to bring forward a new and unprece dented claim to the revisal of the Sacred Music about to be performed this season. The Oratorio of Joseph, announced for this evening, has, in consequence, been of necessity withdrawn, Mr. Hawes, the conductor, very properly refusing to submit to a demand which he considers as un warrantable as it is novel. The 10th of George 11., on the strength of which Act this claim is now for the first time advanced, after enumerating, with all the minute specification of a I'olonius, the " Tragedy, Comedy, History, Pastoral, Pastoral- Comical, Historical-Pastoral," &c., none of which confessedly apply to this case, adds to the various genera of performances described by the Lord Chamberlain of Denmark the words—" or other entertainments of the Stage." On this item it is that the English Deputy Licenser has put his fingers and the question, now for the first time mooted, ism whether the mere fact of Sacred Music; being give ° \ within the walls of a Theatre constitutes an " gs" tertainmeiit of the Stage ?" The public, it is untie' cessary to say, have, as long as our not very "youn g remembrance" carries us, been in the habit 0 listening, both at Drury-lane and Cevent-garde l 'i to the Messiah, the Creation, nay, even to Aci , of' Galatea—an oratorio, as it is called, not onlf fur more dramatic in its character, but mytllT' logical into the bargain, yet no simoniacal " twee' neas" have been called for to sanctify the perform ance. What is still more singular, Mr. Colman d not even now demanda fee for either of them; in pro of which the first act of one of them is this veryeve ing the " unlicensed" substitute for the piece Wit drawn. We do sincerely hope and believe that t b officious interference of the pious author of " Bros Grins," &c., will in this case be eventually' defeat "An Entertainment. for the Stage" Beware, 1 • gallery malcontents, how ye venture hereafter vociferate the tantalysiryg " thro‘V.hini over" benes • the roof of a theatre, without aliCense Pause, • Greenwich coachmen, in your progress through George's Fields--hush to silence the whistling your " sixteen outsides !"
