SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS. With respect to improper interference in this Ca- I thelic question, we believe it will be acknowledged by those who know best the breach of faith which has been committed, that we have exerci-ed con sider ble forbearance. But it is irnpoesible for a man to calculate rition the impunity ref hi- offences, from the belief that they are of so disgusting a nature, that what he has dared to commit, others should not venture to mention. If there be such a man, let him now at once assure himself That he is mistaken. Tice country is impatient to have him exposed ; and the general anxiety to see ,wettish justice intlieted upon him, eeceeds even the natural love of decency which is almost inextinguishable in the British people. Nity, they wi! h horn Ito ap pears to be in unison shrink from him, and in gene ral, wish their cause were nor contaminated by such a defender. Why is he here, we say ? Let him fly—let him begone. He is well aware that the Enelish people do not affect his person, and cannot brook his character. If he stays among us, we perceive (and we know something of what is going on in the world), that he will kindle a conflagration which cannot fail of at least burning him; and may, by their too near proximity, scorch others. He of whom this is spoken feels too consciously who is the person meant, and may say, in extenuation— " What have I done ? I have been quiet ? i have simply spoken once, and that most guardedly." To this we answer, that what he has done in public .has been allowed from a contemptuous pity for his situation. But why did he come here to subject himself to the necessity of speaking even once ? We know, however, into whoSe ear he is in stilling poison; and to that person—be he his Grace, his Lordship, his Worship, or even his Majesty— we now turn, and entreat him to canvass his own heart, with respect to his sincere opinion of him who now assumes the right to be his adviser—to recall to mind in what estimation he was held by their common inother,—nay, to recollect the man ner in which he himself has spoken of him in a thousand ears. Can these things be forgotten ? No, never. With respect to the measure itself now in progress, undoubtedly the Duke of Wellington and the Ministry know best the manner in which it is most likely to be effected : they are acquainted with the provisions of the forthcoming Bill. We, however, who must be allowed to know something of the feelings of the public, may venture to suggest that the obscurity in which the provisions are in volved creates certain blind suspicions of menaced mischief, which can have no foundation in fact, and which the Bill itself will dispel. If secrecy, there fore, be for some cause necessary, we hope the du ration of the secrecy will be curtailed as much as possible, by the speedy introduction of the measure itself into Parliament. The feelings of Ministers seem to be the same with our own on this last pant; for it will be seen by the proceedings in the House of Commons, that the Bill is to be brought in on Thursday.—Titnes. The election at Oxford may, we infer from our account, be considered as closed. Sir Robert Inglis may be said to be returned, and Mr. Peel defeated. When it is considered that this gentleman bad re cedetl—most properly receded—from that opinion which had formed the basis of his previous popu larity, it was, perhaps, too much to expect that a mass of a thousand electors should, without his means of information, at once chunge their convic tions along with him or immediately after him, and upon the mere strength of his character, however meritorious, support a measure which they had pre viously deprecated with the utmost force of expres sion and feeling. We are not, therefore, surprised at the result. But this result, saving the respect which is due to the majority of the Masters of Arts and Doctors in the leerned University, is no proof that the measure of concession is wrong; it is no proof even that the electors of Oxford, or the ma jority of them, might not have changed their opinion, and decided otherwise, if they had had the same time for reflection, and the same means of inform ation on the grand subject in dispute, as the Right Hon. Gentleman himself, who has become a con vert to the new opinons, or at least to the doctrine of State-stecessity. - The failure at Oxford will of course be provided for, by the return of Mr. Peel for some vacant borough. And now, what will the Gallant Duke do on this occasion ? What will he do? Why, pursue his course with more zeal and vigour than ever. He has not lost a colleague on the occasion, though Oxford has lost a representative worthy of herself. But what must be that opinion entertained 105- the University, as to good sense, reason, and policy, which discouraged a Canning from proposing himself as a candidate, and has driven Peel front the representation ? Do the pedantic residents in halts and colleges, and the stammering incumbents on rural vicarages, know better what is for ihe service of the state than the moist favoured of Natre.'s children, atter long - ex perience in ilie science of poetics, the art of uovern ing, and the knowledge of mankind ? The Duke, we again say, will pursue his course with more vt gour titan ever, and not with the less determine dust ; because he knows that if he were to fail, his Sovereign would be left in distress, and the nation without a Government. And though blind fury would plunge public affairs into such a crisis, atom though it might be a proper punishment thus t o suffer his enemies to ruin thetnseives, yet will his cerise of the public weal overcome every feeling of personal disappointment and anger, and invigorate his resolution to carry that measure, without which he knows that there can be no generZeratiquillity— no union between the several parts of the empire. He does not fear open opposition, and he despise treachery.—lbirl. The majority against Mr. Peel, at closing the poll, yesterday, was 126. There is no cause, we apprehend, for yet despairing of his success ; bur there is cause for making every possible exertion to obtain it. There are Residents enough, we under stand, on Mr. Peel's side to neutralize the advan tage gained by Sir R. H. Inglis. But others must preys forwa d to their support. Once more, we repeat, let every exertion be made.—Morning Chron. It was stated by the Chancellor of the Exche quer last night, that it was the intention of bottle one Member of his Majesty's Government to make a statement to the House, on Thursday next, of the measure which was in contemplation for the removal of the disahiiitie: of his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects. On that day there is a call of the Ho4se.— The same farce is acted night after night in the two Houses. " It had been justly stated by high legal and constitutional authority (said Lord Tulla more), that the manner in which the people of this country could operate most effectually upon the Government was not by acting, but by ah.ewing that they were prepared to act. The power of the people consisted, under such circumstances, oct in striking, but in keeping in awe. As Man lius said to the Roman people, " Ostendite mod° belluui ; paeem habebitis." So the Duke of Wel longton is to be frightened by the high and low rabble, old women in the two Houses, and women and chilirett throughout the country. But this is the idea of those puerile Statesmen, of whom the Duke of Newcastle, Earl of Winchilsea, &c. are the heads. We will show the Duke that we are prepared to act. If the Duke were silly enough to be one single moment discomposed by such tom foolery, the sooner he took leave of office the better. His Grace will not even do these old women the konour of boasting, as he did with respect to the Catholics, that he was not in the least intimidated. —When Major Cartwright caused the table of the House of Commons to be covered night after night for many werks with petitions for Reform, it was declared at the time that these petitions, though beyond all precedent numerously signed, were en titled to little weight, as they did not contain the spontaneous expression of the sentiments. of those by whom they were signed, who had been un duly biassed. But it was impossible that Major Cartwright, a stranger, could have procured up wards of a million of signatures from the va rious towns which he visited, had there not been a strong predisposition on the part of the people to accede to the measure he recommended. But wheat abuse was lavished on him—he was called apostle of sedition, fire-brand, and what not. He was never, however, reproached with having procured false signatures, with obtaining the names of women and children. This is now a part of the system. — When Sir Wiliam Geise last eight presenti.d a pe tition from Clifton, it was stated by Mr. Otway Cave, with reference to the manner in which it had been got up," that he understood it had been signed by a great proportion of the charity children of the place, [natl, - ut them under seven years of age. Se veral of these children subscribed different names ; one boy, he was told, had. written no fewer than eight. It was signed by parish paupers. He had received his information on the subject from a most respectable gentleman, well known to the Hon. Ba ronet, who was ready to prove the fact, if necessary." Again, on the presentetion of a petition from King ston-upon-Thames, by Mr. C. Pellmer, the Hon. Gentleman was asked by Mr. Tennyson, whether he was aware that the petition hid been subscribed by several ef the juvenile Statesmen al luded to on a preceding evening, and by several of the fair sex. Mr. Pallmer could see no reason why females should not be entitled to express their opi nions. " It was not possible for him," he added, " to discover whether there were any signatures of charity children to this petition. But if there were he must in justice observe that Kingston was in debted for all its charitable institutions to Queen Elizabeth; and that if the children who were brought up upon the bounty of that great protec tress cf the Reformed Religion held her memory in veneration, there was some excuse to be made for them."—(A laugh.)—Such are the means resorted to, " in order to operate effectually upon the Go vernment." It would be strange indeed if the Clergy, who have made opposition to the claims of the Catholics an affair of their own, should not be able, with the aid of their creatures in every parish, to fill sheets of parer with names, especially on this comprehensive plan of including women and children. It has not been customary to admit young persons to the sacrament till arrived at the age of puberty; but these Reverend managers of petitions conceive that infants of seven years of age, charity children, are perfectly able to determine whether the welfare of the people of this empire would be best promoted by repealing the civil disabilities of the Catholics, or by continuing the laws of exclusion.— A circumstance stated by General Gascoyne may account for a few of the signatures. " A petition had been brought to bins that morning," he said, " against further concession to the Catholics, by the Churchwardens of a parish, which he believed was in the Ward of the Hon. Alderman who had lately spoken (Weidman.) The individual who brought it told him that it had lain for signatures for a day at the vestry ; and that towards the even ing a number of the persons by whom it was signed continuing to linger about the vestry, they had been requested to depart, when they observed that they had been allowed a pot of beer each for signing the counter petition, and requested a similar gratifies tion.—(A laugh)."—Who would scruple to give a few pots of beer for the preservation of our glorious Protestant Constitution''—Thid. Most cordially do we congratulate the public on the happy result of the second day's poll for the • election of a Representative for the University of Oxford—a result which may reasonably be con sidered as decisive of the contest, and as insuring the triumph of the best and most vital principle of the Constitution. At the close of the poll, it will be seen, the nusethers were—For Sir R. H. Inglis 676 ; for Mr. Peel 50; leaving a proud majority of 126 iu favour of the sacred cause of the Constitution in Church and State. The contest is expected to close this day ; and in our next we hope to have the happiness of announcing the final success of a cause involving the most important consideration to the King, the Church, and the State, diet has ever arisen since the memo rable epoch of the glorious Revolution. The Mem bers of the Church, we rennet help observing, have dono themselves immortal honour on this momen tous occasion. The promoters of the revolutionary enterprise whirl . ; is to place in the high places of the British Government the professors of an idolatrous faith, and the minions of a foreign authority, ex pose the desperate nature of their design most com pletely, when they manifest by their conduct that they deem it essential to their success to asseil the clearest rights, end to depreciate the exalted devisee ter of the National Clergy. The Ministers of the Established Church of England are, it is pretended, the dependants and stipendiaries of the State, and depart therefore from their duty when they unite with the nation at large, and incite it by precept .or example to resist, the in.. eu ti e es of Goyerianeut. Nothing can be more false than this assompiion. The Church is a separate and independent power in the State, having inherent rights, privileges, tied authority, an well established, aa well defined, and as ancient as those of any branch of the Government whatever..., tile natural and efficient ally of Government, so ion es its course is consistent with the pure reli gion of which the Church is the special and ap pointed guardian, and with the Constitution of which that religion is a nu st essential part, but bound, nevertheless, by the most solemn obliga tions of conscience to resist government to the utmost, whenever it deviates into an oppsite course. Another pretence of those who would .obvert the Constitution of England by installine Popery in the seats of political power is, that the Clergy of the Established_ Church are not qualified to form an impartial and correct judgment of the nature and consequences of thie revolutionary act. We say that they are peculiarly tie:ail:led to form a judgment on this subject, upon which ogee; men may safely rely ; inasmuch as it is the only politicel question upon which, for a long aeries of years, their dety as' Christian Ministers has ireperetively called upon them to reflect—inasmuch as it is'a subject upon which they knew the country would in every crisis and emergency look up to them for counsel and en enoragement—inasmuch e s : it is a subject upon which they cannot oppose Government without sacrificing their individual interests those of the Church and Constitution of England. What do the friends of Popery seggest to us by the imputation they cast upon the Clergy of the Church of England, of being moved by considerations of self-interest in their present zealous and me. ritorious opposition to the revolutionary measure of Government ? Do they not suggest the proba bility, that if that measure ehould be completed, Protestant Episcopacy will in twenty years be abolished in England ? It is clearly the interest cf every Clergyman of the Established Church to sup.' port the measure, unless he sincerely believe it to be incompatible with the peseeenency of the Protestant Hierarchy of England. Who, ree ask, has the better chance to be a Bishop—the venerable Head of Trinity College, Oxford, or the Dean of Chester, in consequence of the conduct which these eminent persons at the present moment respectively pursue? Unquestionably the latter. Of the two, therefore, the latter is the more liable to the suspi cion of interested motives—motives we mean of per sonal interest—since, if the Ciwrch of England sur vive, he by his conduct secures to himself the rever sion of it:. highest dignities, whilst the former evidently sacrifices the chances of preferment to himself, in favour of whet he believes to be the permanent interests of his order, e.thelf interests he also believes to be identified with the Constitution of England.--eellorning Post.

ELOPEMENT, &c.—A venerable gentleman of respect able appearance, the remains of a very fine man, who, ac carding to his own admission, nearly approached eighty years of age, entered this Office yesterday, when Sir RICH ARD BIgNIE and Mr. MINiTTULL were sitting on the Bench, and he said to Sir Richard—" I have been robbed by my wife, who has eloped from me." Robbed by your wTe, observed Mr. 1111N9HULL—are you not aware that a wife cannot rob her husband? The old gentleman, with seeming astonishment, replied- 4, What, Sir !—not rob her husband ; but I say my wife has robbed toe of 'property, value ISM." Sir RICHARD PIRNIE, who had some difficulty to make the old gentleman hear him, in consequence of his deafness, said it was a pity, at his time of life, to meet with such a misfortune, after a union with the lady probably for a great number of years. The old gentleman replied—No, Sir, our union has been very short. Sir RICHARD BIRNIE--What may be the age of the lady? The old gentlemen said—l think she may be 28 or 29 years of age. I have been married to her about two years, and I settled 2001. per annum on her previously. Sir RICHARD BIRNIZ-Did any one besides your wife carry off your property?—The old gentleman answered that his wife's sister had aichal her, and, he added, perhaps you may know my family, Mr. Minabull •' it is well known in Norfolk. My name is Bullock, and our family, for two centuries, have held considerable property in that county. Mr, AfiNsnut.r. and Sir R. Butwm both said they were acquainted with his family. The old gentleman said that he had built a beautiful country house near Epping Forest, and two years ago lie entered into a very unfortunate matrimonial alliance with the young woman against whom he now complained. He had ascertained that she was living—and, he suspected, with a paramour—in a house near the Regent's Canal. He hoped the Magistrates would grant him a warrant to ap prehended the parties. Sir RICHARD Maxis informed him that he had ne authority to issue a warrant against the wife ; and he had better apply to Lambeth-greet Police-office, against those who had aided his wife in taking away his pro perty ; or, if he thought proper, he might seise the pro perty wherever he found it. Mr. Bullock said, he should apply to Lambeth-street Office, and also to the Rev. Mr. Hatnmerton, the Magis trate of Loughton, in Essex, where he resided, for as sistance. EXTRAORDINARY DISAPPEARANCE OF TWO YOUNG LADIES FROM A BOARDING St uoot.—Yesterday two gentlemen came to Bow-street Office, and had an inter view with the Magistrates, in private, to solicit the assist ance of the Police, under the following distressing circum stances :—The gentlemen stated, that on the preceding evening, between the hours of six and seven o'clock, two young ladies, about 14 years of age, who were connected by blood to most respectable families, hail suddenly disap peared from the boarding-school of - , , at Turn ham-green, where they were receiving their education. The Magistrate inquired of the geneemen if they had any reason to suppose the females had been decoyed away by young men ? One of the gentlemen answered, that he could not form any idea on the subject; but he thought the young ladies were somewhat too young to have left the school in consequence of a❑ affair du cceur. Mr. 111124smum. said, that lie had known attachments of the kind formed as early as twelve years of age, but he hoped the young ladies might have gone to some relative's or friend's house ; and he recommended that James John Smith, one of the principal officers, should be employed to use his exertions to trace the fugitives. Smith said, that he thought he could easily ascertain the route they had taken ; because they must have travelled by some coach from Turnham-green to Loudon, unless they had gone in an opposite direction, which, in his opinion, was rather improbable. Mr. MINSIIULL advised the gentlemen to have bills printed, describing the persons of the young ladies, and to get them circulated in the road leading from London to Brentford. The gentlemen had a second interview with the Magis trates in the course of the day, and stated tkat they had made inquiries at the houses of the relatives and friends of the ladies, but could obtain no information respecting them any where. The Magistrate regretted that no tidings had been ob tained of the young ladies, as their absence must have in flicted deep distress in their families.—The following hand bill was extensively circulated in the course of the day : " Missing, from the neighbourhood of Hammersmith, since a quarter past six o'clock, yesterday evening, two young females, the one 13, the other 14 years of age ; the former has a long face, light hair, parted on the forehead, light complexion, brown eyes, and a Grecian nose ; she was dressed in a slate-coloured Mei inn frock, fur tippet, and black velvet cottage bonnet. The other has a peculiar countenance, is very pale, has dark hair, grey eyes, and prominent nose ; she had on a black bombasin frock, black stockings and shoes, grey and white fur tippet, and straw cottage bonnet trimmed with black ribbon. Whoever will hr ing intelligence of one or both of them, to Hullah's Li brary, Hasnmersmith, shall be handsomely rewarded. They are supposed to have with them a small leather trunk with clothes in it. " Hatntnersmith, Feb. 27, 1529." It was ascertained, at a late hour last evening, that the two young ladies entered one of the Hammersmith coaches, on Thursday evening, between six and Seven o'clock, and came to Piccadilly, where they called a hackney-coach, which they entered, and were joined by a middle-aged female. At a late hour la ,t night, when the 'Magistrates It ft Bow-street Office, no further chro had been obtained that was like7y to he the means of causing the parties to be traced ; but the officer was using every txertion in his power to find the hackney-coach which drove them from Piccadilly. The officer had made diligent search in houses of a cer•tai❑ description at the West End of the town, whither it wss thought possible the girls ought have been decoyed for im moral purposes, but he could learn nothing of them. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. 315ses Jacobs, the glass-manufacturer, of 18, Phcenix street, St. Gilee's, was bronaht befisre the Magistrate, and charged on suspicion of having set his house on fire. The Solicitors to the Sun Fire Office appeared to pro secute the prisoner, and Mr. Harmer the defence. The husband of the deceased recapitulated the evidence he gave en the inqukst. Cole, a constable, said, that after the inquest had con cluded, one of the prisoner's friends motioned him to go away. He then left the house where the inquest was held, and, on arriving at a coach stand, jumped into a cabriolet, but witness followed him and took him into custody. The prisoner said he was anxious to consult his solicitor. The solicitor for the Insurance Office stated that the pri soner's stock and premises were insured for `2,1001. ; but the prisoner declared he had reduced 1,150/. of the insur ance within the Let six months. Davies said that the pr:soner's stock was not worth 1,0001. and he was a competent judge, having heyn in the business upwards of fifty years. The prisoner was remanded till Wednesday. It was stated that on Wednesday morning the pri soner informed the Sun Fire-office that he had only 5tlSl ta;ned 4 li;b3 of 1301., and he would not make any claim on them. BOROUGH OF NEWARK.—TiIC borough of Newark has been outvoted to an insult by the Puke of Newcastle, greater than any which we fiver heard of a patron presuming to inflict upon the closest borouzh. Sir W. H. Clinton, the late representative, has been dismissed without being allowed even to take a civil farewell of his Consiitßipts; for presuming to entertain opinions not dic tated by the pis Grace, however, nut satisfied with thus discharging the representative for the borough, h a s sent a Mr. Sadler to be eleted 'in his stead, without . • - • con descending to acquaint the vot ers w ith - any one of his q ualifications, trusting, we presume, to the celebrity which h e i s said to have acqiiired at Leeds fur a l ong s p eec h made a t one of the got-up-meetings in favour of intolerance and bigotry. We had some fears that the inhabitants would have been comp;.died to submit to this act of imperious dictation, hut we have the satisfaction to inform our rea ders that Mr. Sergeant Wilde has offered himself as 4 can didate, and we believe there is little doubt of his ultimate success, from the strong feeling of indignation that prevails i n the borough. Indeed, we should be surprised if the in habitants did not avail themselves of the opportunity offered to them, at once to resent the imperious dictation which has been assumed, and of electin ' ;Y a representative qualified to distinguish what is required for the protection of the dignity and true interests of the Protestant Church, from 4n intolerant exclusion called for by no rational principle of security. Mr. Sergeant Wilde left town last night for Newark, where the election is to begin on Monday, and must be finished on Thursday.... Times, FEMALE FASHIONS FOR MARCH. (From La Belle Assemblee.) EVENING DRESS.—Over a slip of white satin is a dress of white crape, bordered with a broad full flounce, fluted en dents de Imp, the edge of the flounce finished by a satin rouleau of laurel-green. A foliage ornament is placed above the flounce of the large leaves of the water-lily; the leaves em bossed in green satin. The corsage is plain, exactly marking out the shape, made low, particu larly discovering the shoulders. The tucker part of the bust is surrounded by a cape-collar, en paladin : this is edged with narrow Vandyke blond, and a green satin rouleau ; the paladin is cleft at each shoulder; the sleeves short, and very wide. A round, long tippet of swans'-down is thrown over the shoulders. The hair is arranged in u new style of head-dress, called that of a water-nymph, and is appropriately crowned with the Indian lotus, or water-lily. The ear-pendants are of finely-wrought g od, ; anti the &toes of white satin, slightly em broidered in front, and tied ea sandales. PROMENADE COSTUME.—A satin pelisse, the colour of the Parma-violet, with a notched ornament down the front of the skirt, concealing the fasten ings. This appendage is in the Bavarian shape, narrow at the waist, and extending gradually towards the feet : it is of the same colour as the pelisse, but apparently darker, by being of velvet. A pelerine tippet, notched in the same manner, covers the bust and corsage, and is also of velvet. The sleeves are a la Mameluke, and are confined at the wrist by velvet cuffs, notched to correspond with the pelerine, which is surmounted by a broad, single ruff of blond, fastened in front by a small bow of ruby-coloured satin ribbon. A hat of black velvet is worn with this dress, ornamented under the brim, on the right side, with foliage of ruby satin, disposed en eventail: bows of ruby satin ribbon surmount the hat, which ties under the chin with a mentonniere of blond. A reticule of emerald-green satin, slightly embroidered in gold, is carried in the left hand ; and half.boots of iron-grey corded grog de Naples, tipped with black kid, finish the dress. (From the World of Fashion.) The few novelties which have appeared relate to the evening and dinner party ; in out door costume, it is not likely, during the present uncertain time of the season, to bear any very decided feature. In the first place, therefore, we hasten to describe what pe culiarly struck us, which was a dress for an evening party of a remarkably bright scarlet gros de Naples, bordered by two deep flounces, set on in chevron festoons, vandyked at the edges, and trimmed with a broad layer of satin, the same colour as the dress, placed at about half an inch from the edge. The body was a la Circassienne, with the drapery o scarlet crape. Long sleeves of white crape lisse are worn over short ones of white satin, with Persian draperies of scarlet gauze, bound round with satin, in narrow bias. A cuff terminates the sleeve at the wrist, with a very conspicuous point on the out side of the arm, of scarlet silk elegantly painted in various colours. Dresses of red, either c►imson, ponceau, Chinese rose, or ruby,are much in favour; they are of gros de Naples, velvet, or satin. The corsages are much cut away from the shoulders; and long sleeves are more capacious than ever; the short sleeves are also ve►y wide. Coloured velvet dresses, trimmed with white blond, are much admired : the corsages have dra pery, which is generally of gauze or crape, and is either in the Circassian or the Sevigne style. We have seen a very beautiful bonnet of black satin, figured en Arabesques ; it is tastefully trimmed with black blond about the crown, and with pink riband chequered with black, and edged on each side with yellow satin stripes, on which are clouds of black. The strings are in a loop. A favourite bonnet for the carriage is of myrtle green gros de Naples, lined with canary yellow, and ornamented on the crown with fern de cheval, in scrolls of myrtle green, lined with yellow and with black blond ; this bonnet is adorned with three plumes formed of the tails of the bird of paradise in green and yellow, separated by bows of riband, corresponding in colour with the silk of the bonnet. Among the new coiffeures is the Spanish-Car dinal beret, of bright ruby Indian reps silk ; this head-dress, so strikingly elegant, is bound round the edge of the brim with gold lace; the crown is in treillage work, and is composed of ruby satin and gold. From the separation in front, over the fore head, depend two superb tassels of gold, which fall over the left temple, and a beautiful white plumage plays over, and finishes this magnificent beret. A most elegant dress cap of blond, for evening parties or dinners of ceremony, is among the striking novel ties of the present day. The blond is of the richest and finest texture, and is disposed in fan ornaments, lightly falling over each other; the crown is open in treillage work, and is of white satin and silver lama, a bandeau of which crosses the forehead, and is of beautiful workmanship : over this splendid cap are tastefully scattered, in separate flowers, a profusion of the summer-rose, in full bloom. A turban of pink satin and crape, classically folded, is another new article among the coiffeure department ; it is infinitely becoming, though large, and is in the form of the turbans worn by the Moorish Princes. In the out-door envelopes nothing new can be ex pected to take place till about the middle of March at the soonest. Pelisses are certainly more in fa vour titan cloaks, except for the carriage, where they are seen of a very superb kind ; but in neither of these can we yet expect any particular novelty. We highly recommend a very elegant dress tip pet, which we saw belonging to a very charming young lady at the Court-end of the town ; and as young people in large parties are often seated near the door, such precautionary covering are as useful as they arc ornamental. This round tippet was formed of celesti,l blue and white crape, and had the two colours mingled en clochettes ; the whole appearance of this graceful appendage was light and unobtrusive, though well adapted to the dress party. The colours most admired are celestial blue, myrtle green, canary yellow, scarlet, ruby, and pink. SECO,ND SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. OXFORD ELECTION.. OXFORD, TWO O'CLOCK. SIR H. INGLIS (/65 MR.

SILK TRADE.-We have often stated that the reported flourishing state of the Silk Trade was mere delusion, one of the many devices resorted to by the supporters of the free trade system, when they found the ruin their measures were bringing upon the commerce of the country ; the bankruptcy of the manufacturers and the procession of some thousands of artisans, pictures of misery and starva tion, are at length attracting the attention of Ministers and of the public; several propositions have besu submitted to Government ; they have been rejected. The Ministers state that a new scale of duties will be brought forward, the particulars of which they will not disclose, but it will forthwith be laid before Parliament. EAST INDIA.
