INI a S The law of fashion with regard to the make of dress seems now estabilished in a very died manner. It is quite inadmissible for any dress to - be ,made with plaits all round the waist ; the front and eid*s,..?at any rate, must be plain. There are, hoWever, two styles in vogue, the Princesse and the fonrreau. For most figures we give the preference to the former, which has one large plait at the back ; while the second is entirely on the bias, like a • long casaque, and is certainly less graceful, there being, nothing to mark the waist, the fourreau is, therefore, less becoming than the Princesse. For both styles the long train is necessary. The size of the crinoline is very sen sibly dimihished, but it cannot be altogether dispensed . with whilst the dresses are so very long. Nothing can sustain them so well as the cage, though that may be of very small dimensions. The fashion, also, of looping dresses up over the petticoats, out of doors, which wilt certainly continue through the summer, renders the crino line indispensable, in order 'to sustain" them gracefully. Woollen fancy materials are making their appearance for the spring season ; but dist which still as always meets with • the greatest success in the foulard. There is no doubt it will be the favourite, being at once so firm and yet to light, and the patterns in such variety; it is suitable for visiting and soiree dress, as well as for robes de chambre. The foulard double-chain is especially charming. Of such solidity of texture it equals taffetas, and in one sense is preferable, being more durable. The white foulard double-chain is beautiful, of such a pearly white. A four reau made of this without any ornament but a white silk cord round the bottom, and trimming the body and sleeves, forms a simple yet charming dress. Cashmere foulard of patterns of bouquets—Watteau style—or stripes of violet, red or black, are reserved for robes de chambre, which are made with loose flowing skirt, lined with the same colour as the stripes. T ONDON must have a SUPPER and MUSIC g ROOM tor Gentlemen. Remember, we wait for you at EVAN s' after the Covent -,garden Opera and the Theatres. L WHISKY. DUBLIN EXHIBITION, 1865.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.- The fear of pain and dread of ope - ation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEKT a are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex ending, over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the moss sensi nye sufferer a tistem of dentistry perfect in its absolute. freedom from pain. a +rpecialite ertaining only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters pstent. This system emb acts the non-interference with all stump!, however decayed, the support ng instead ~f extras lion of loose teeth until they become firm and usetul in mas tication% and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous pe son can be supplied without tear of pain or inconvenience.

At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. Tho poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager, &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, andhave to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish .the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pse will allow, to give bread an d coals to p oor families inwant. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and a ccomplish what has been begun ? Will yo to the really u help to give shelter to the really homeless, an d feed starving ?

The borough was incorporated about eleven years ago, and has hitherto been without any better accommodation for its municipal departments than is afforded by some inconvenient offices erected for the use of the commissioners who previously governed the town. The new erection is to be one of considerable archi% tectural pretension, and is estimated to cost £60,000, including the land, of which the area covered is more than 16,000 square yards. The building will be in the English style prevalent towards the end of the 14th century, free use being made of the mul lioned windows of many lights, square-headed, for such offices as may be called domestic. At one of the angles a clock tower will rise to the height of 150 ft. Besides a great hall for public meetings or other as semblies, there will be accommodation for a commer cial exchange, for the magistrates' court, the borough police, the town council, and the whole executive of the borough Corporation. The architect is Mr. Crosland, of Leeds. The site faces the River Roach, which intersects the town, and it has a background planted with shrubs, and sloping upwards to the parish church and vicarage. As appeared from the remarks made by several of the gentlemen who took part in the ceremonies of the day, the occasion had been seized by the local authorities and inhabitants to offer their distin guished townsman, Mr. Bright, a proof of their neighbourly regard and esteem. The day was ob served as a close holiday, and notwithstanding the weather was wet in the forenoon, an immense ga thering of people accompanied Mr. Bright from his residence ,in a lengthy procession, comprising the local magistrates, aldermen, councilors, officials, deputations from co-operative societies, and friendly societies with their banners. Every spot near the site which could possibly afford a view of the congregation of persons assisting at the ceremonial was covered with spectators, and so urgent was the desire to have the scene photographed, with the mayor in a sufficiently pictorial attitude as he opened the proceeding,s with a speech, that he was made to pause in the midst of his remarks, when the artist had got his apparatus adjusted, in order that the worshipful figure might be taken without distor- Alr. Bright was.revivgd .with _great cheering on his arrival at the site.t2' After introductory speeches from the mayor (Mr. S. Stott), and the town clerk (Mr. Z. Mellor), Mr. Bright went through the usual formalities with a silver trowel, presented to him by Mr. Alderman G. L. Ashworth, on behalf of the Corporation. Mr. BRIGHT said—Mr. Mayor, members of the Corporation, and fellow-townsmen, —I feel it, I hardly need tell you, a great honour that your Cor poration, representing, as I have reason to believe the Corporation does, the general sentiments of the town, that I have been invited to take so prominent a part in the interesting event and transaction of the day. I am—we all are—in this unfortunate pre , . dicament, that I believe, however costly and grand the structure, it is scarcely posiible to make of the laying of the foundation or corner-stone anything like a very impressive ceremony. But there must be something in the whole matter or it would not have been possible to have called together so many thousands of the industrious and intelligent popula tion of the town. The event of this day is one which will be markedin the history of our town, because we shall, as it were, lay, I was going to say we shall be gin the beginning, but that does not appear a very happy phrase—(laughter)--of a building which in every respect, I believe, will be to the credit of the population. The site of the building is fortunate, for it is within a few yards of the very centre of the borough. The objects of the building, as you know, are for the transaction of the business of the borough, for the seat of the corporation, of our mu nicipal authorities, for the impartial administration of justice, for the holding of an exchange, for ad ministering the affairs of your gasworks and your waterworks, which are soon to be in the possession of the town; "and last, but not- least, for the pur pose of providiugfor thetown a grand hall, in which the free men in Rochdale, in all time to come, may discuss those great questions which belong specially to national freedom. I believe the building itself, of its style, will be one of thefinesterected in England during our time, audit will be a monument tofuture ages—to many ages I hope it may be--of the libe rality of the inhabitants of Rochdale in 1866, and of the courage of your corporate authorities, and a proof of your faith in the future of your town, and of its great and growing industry. I hope, we all hope —I speak but the sentiments of every heart here— I hope that when the building is completed, it may do credit to the architect, that it may have been profitable to the contractors, and that it may have been reared without serious accident to the industri ous and skilful men under whose hands it will grow from day to day. And we hope further that as years and generations pass over it, it may more and more be an object, not of interest only, but of loving affection on the part of the population of this borough ; and that they may regard it—as the na tion and all who visit your town will regard it—as a proof that there was some greatness in the popu lation whichlsee assembled before me to-day. Well, it is long sine I attempted to speak in the open air. I have no right to do it now. I suppose that about 4 o'clock some of us will be expected to say something in:the public hall. lam only sorry that that hall is so small that but few can be there to hear whatever may be said, but I must ask you, notwithstanding, to pardon me if I do not proceed with observations with which my my heart at this moment is full, if my physical force would permit me to give utter ance to them. But, in conclusion, I must say this, that from the bottom of my heart I think the autho rities of this town and the people,—certainly if they are not all here those who are here must represent the whole population of this town,—l say I thank you that you have permitted me in any way to be associated with the great event of to-day. I trust that henceforth our children and our children's chil dren may look with pride upon the grand building which is about to grow beneath your eyes, and that they may never have occasion to think that we pasted the bounds of our duty or of a reason able expenditure in the great act of municipal power which we are met to-day to commence. Ac cept, then, briefly and iu a word, my thanks for your kindness. Although, as my friend Mr. Ash- worth said, I ara not here in any political character, yet I cannot help feeling that, after all, if it had not been for a political career which is not wholly con demned, but may be approved by my townsmen (applause) —probably I should not have been here to-day. Strengthened by the approbation and by the sympathy of my townsmen, I shall hope yet to do something to extend the liberties of my country men. (The hon. gentleman was loudly cheered.) Mr. POTTER, M.P. for the borough, afterwards, addressed the assemblage, and the proceedings at the stone terminated with cheers for the Mayor. Afterwards there, was a luncheon at the Public hall, attended by about 250 gentlemen, the Mayor again presiding. A marble bust of the late Mr. Cobden, by Mr. Burnard, sculptor, of London, which is an excellent likeness, had been lent by Mr. Bright for the occasion, and was placed at the end of the room, facing the platform where the principal auests were seated. Mr. BRIGHT, in response to the toast of his health, proposed in very laudatory terms, said,—Mr. Mayor and fellow-townsmen,—lt is a very difficult task to rise to speak in answer to such a speech as that which my friend Mr. Alderman Ashworth has just made, and for the kind reception which you have given to me. If I could possibly believe that not one-half, but one tithe of what he said was true it must inevitably be my ruin. (Laughter and cheers.) But then' can attribute it all to a certain partiality, which I shall not contend against, and a great kindness on your part which, even if it be in any degree exaggerated, I am willing with all thank fulness to receive. The ceremony of this morning has been very simple, but, as 1 then said, there is a significance about it, and I have been struck be yond what I can easily express with the apparently almost universal sympathy of the whole population of the borough. Those of us who have lived here for 20 or 30 years have witnessed a great change, from which, if we may not learn a great lesson, at any rate we may derive confirmation for what I think at any rate is a wise add just opinion. Years ago our town was governed by a body who went by the name of Commissioners of Police. I don't re collect very well how they were appointed, but I think at one time they appointed themselves — (laughter) —that is, under a clause of an Act of Parliament every man who was rated to a certain amount of £2O or £3O, might offer himself and take up his position as commissioner. After that there was some change, and the governing body was elected, if I am not mistaken, upon the principal of what is termed Sturges Bourne's Act—that is, that one man give 'one vote, and a nan who was not a bit bigger, but was a little richer, gave two, and another richer still gave three, and so on, and until at last some body who got up to the perfection of the possession of wealth gave six votes. And that is a principle which some people have recommended for Parliamentary elections of late years. (A laugh.) However, the Commissioners of Police were so elected, and under that authority exercised poiver in this borough. Now I put it to all the population of the town, and ask them whether that body had great respect or great influence, or whether it would have been allowed by any possibility to have levied the taxes, and incurred the expenditure, and done the works which have distinguished the career of our corporation ? (Ap plause.) I venture to say that all these things are done, and have been done, only because you have had during the last 10 or 11 years a municipal go vernment in which the town has had perfect con fidence, and which is in point of fact the direct creation of all the householders and ratepayers in the town. Five years hence—probably less—we shall have the Mayor, instead of being shut up where you can hardly find him, in that place in Smith-street—(laughter)—seated on what may be fairly called his municipal throne in this great building that is about to be reared. You_ will have him svrouncled by dignified aldermen (" Hear," from an alderman, and much laughter), and, if'in any degree they are less dignified, still by very ho nourable councillors—(applause)—and, instead of taking to the present practice of the constitution of the country, in which we have two Houses of Par liament, one which they call the Lower and the other the Upper House, though I don't exactly know for what special reason those words are used— (laughter and applause)—the mayor of Rochdale, no doubt, will revert to the ancient practice of the con stitution, when lords and commons sat in one House, and we shall have one House for those dignified aldermen and these honourable councillors, and the Mayor may save the expense of the woolsack in the one •House, and the Speaker in the other, and will preside in person over an united Parliament. I have heard persons joke about mayors and aldermen and councillors, but in my opinion there is scarcely anything more import ant in a country than an honest municipal govern ment. That is the government which we feel every day, which preserves the peace among us, which im partially administers justice, which makes our towns and districts comfortable and safe to live in ; and I feel always great gratitude to the men who devote so much of their time to the service of the town and the public as do the members of our municipal go vernments. But I said that I thought this power of our corporation, by which so many good things have been done and were promised us, was a power that arose in this manner—that it was based upon the will of the whole people. I don't think the expe rience of our town ought to make reasonable men afraid of a large number of votes. It is to me the most curious thing going, probably, about that matter, that there should be a class of men in this country who believe that it would be extremely benefi cial to have more voters, and there should be another class of men, whom you cadnot distinguish from the first, as they walk the streets or you see them in their houses—(laughter)—who somehow or other come to the exactly opposite opinion, and a line is drawn between them which neither will pass, and there remain two parties divided upon this question. In our Borough we have about 1,440 electors. I shall not say a word,:it would be foolish and stupid for me to say anything against the mode in which the 1,440 electors of Rochdale exercise their Parliamentary franchise. If I look to the mem bers who have sat for this borough, taking the whole time from the period of our enfranchisement, now 34 years ago, Ithink we may hold up our heads alongside any constituency in the kingdom. (Cheers.) Whether I point to Mr. Fenton, who was our first member —(applause)—a neighbour in high esteem, faithful always to his convictions, and retaining, so long as he chose to sit, the confi dence of the constituency, or come down from him to Mr. Sharman Crawford, who came to this town —I can hardly say as a candidate, because he was no candidate of his own offering, but who came to be elected at a time when I believe there was not a single person in the town but myself that had ever seen him, and I was one of those who did not vote for his candidature when he was first proposed, though, of course, I voted for him at the election. (Cheers.) After him was Mr Miall—(cheers)--a man who has made for himself a,great position, and a name in connexion with great principles, for which it may be this country is not yet prepared, but which perhaps will live long after all those who deride and oppose them are most of them forgotten. (Cheers.) Well, after him we elected another man. (Here some of the audience began to laugh ironically, while others anxiously checked the demonstration ; apparently the one party imagining the speaker was about to name the Conservative member, Sir A. Ramsay, who displaced Mr. Miall, while those who observed Mr. Blight's expression of counte nance more closely perceived the mistake. I fear to speak now of one who this time 12 months was yet living, but the anniversary of the day of whose death will be only to. morrow. You see there u marble (the reference was to the bust at f e ed o the room) a representation of his outviardt °f good, I think, as you will rarely see of itn7'Fila warble itself ig but that, has puttied from among ufs• But of a transient duration compared with the perma nency of that fame which his services to his country have conferred upon his name. (Cheers.) We have elected since then another re presentative ; but I will not speak of the present member for this borough. Ile has said of the Par liament that it was a new Parliament, and that it had not been for a very long time tried, and there fore I might say the same of him. (Laughter.) I have no doubt that when the time shall come that his connection with the borough shall cease, and I wish that time to be remote—(applause)--we shall be able to add him to the list of our representatives who have done credit to the choice of our consti tuency, and who by their consistency in support of all great principles of public freedom have done something to aid the advancing in terests and liberties of this country. But that is altogether a digression. What I wanted to show was this—that although our 1,440 electors for the which e the ) Parnatuentery representation have done wisely in the main i n th e exerc i se o f th e i r r i g ht, they cannot pretend at all t o h ave b een w i ser th an the 5,000 of our cciopuanl i i c t bi u lo n wd i ahl he as 5,000, I b e li eve , h ave c l i osen a town well electors . ( Hear, represents ha trThueeopminuinoin a nd true interests of thi s t own as any that could possibly be elected, if the choice rested in the 1,440 Parliamentary electors. And if it were to be assumed that the 5,000 were no more wise than the 1,40, let it be ganted that they are no more foolish, and is it not infinitely better that your corpo should be based upon the support of the 5,000 than on the support of 1,440? (Applause.) And if you turn back to any election which has taken place, when there has been a contest, since the enfranchise ment of the borough, notwithstanding that we boast ouselves to be probably one of the very best boroughs in the kingdom in regard to the absence of an offen sive interference with voters' rights, and in regard to corruption of any kind, yet let any man here of moral sense and of self-respect look back to the pro ceedings of our contests, and he will see that there is not a little which he would rather have wished had been absent. And I understand that your municipal elections when the 5,000 come to vote, there is infi nitely less of everything that is unpleasant and that ought to be condemned, than there is when the 1,440 find themselves plunged into an electoral contest. If this be so, then if there be any gentlemen here—and I have no doubt there are some—who are alarmed, it may be, at the present proposition of the Government, let them look at the influence of their own town, at the conduct of their own people, and let them believe this, which I believe to be as true as anything in the world, that where you trust men, give them votes, appeal to their intelligence, and to their higher sympathies, show them the re sponsibility of their position, the grandeur it may be even of the act of giving a vote, you will find that there is nothing whatever in propositions now be fore Parliament, or in propositions more extensive, that might possibly be offered, which ought to create the slightest apprehension in the mind of an/ man who is acquainted with the genius and cha racter of his countrymen. I therefore draw an argument from this town in favour of what is now about to be discussed in Parliament. I say that our municipal Government becomes incomparably stronger, because it is based on a wider foundation ; I say that it can do things for the public of our town of essential advantage to the town, which it dares not have contemplated or attempted if it had been based, as it was some few years ago, on the unstable foundation of self-election, or of that miserable and odious system of election which was established by Sturges,Bourne's Act. (Cheers.) Now, we are here to congratulate ourselves on the foundation of this Town-hall. If it does afford a shelter—if you like a magnificent shelter—for the Parliament of this town, —for its authorities, for its magistracy in the dispensation of what our ancestors used to call in different, but what 4e call impartallisticerini affords room for all the variouadepartments of busi ness which the Corporation is to manage; and if it builds for us that grand hall which the possession of this small place only makes us long for the more, then I think, perhaps, we may forgive them even for the expenditure which they are about to incur. (Laughter.) With regard to that great hall, I be lieve there is nothing that tends so much to improve every town, and every country, as an innumerable, almost, supply of places for public meeting. Why this country for the last.4o years would have been in darkness still if it had not been for its power and practice of holding public meetings ; your great Reform Bill of 1832 must have fallen dead if there had been any power that could have forbidden the people from the holding of a public meeting. Your agitation for the great mea sure of free trade must have been an agitation without result, if it were not for thehundreds of public meetings that were held. And now, in the discussion of another great question, what could be done with the tardy reluctance of Parliament if it were not for the expression of public feeling through the means of public meetings ? Then, if this, and if all other great measures that are to come—measures some of which we do not now dream of, measures many of which may be called for out of the exigencies of times and circumstances which we know not—if all this must owe its progress, its advancement, its success, to the discussion of a free people in public meetings, I rejoice as much for that as for anything else that the Corporation in putting up a building for its own service and accommodation has included within it a magnificent hall for the service of the town. And ' I hope there are—l believe' there are in this room, and there are many in this town—young men who, from their education, their habit of intel ligent thought, will be able in after times, when some of our tongues are silent, to instruct their fellow townsmen, to stimulate to good, and to lead them to further achievements on behalf of freedom. For myself I have only to say that I thank you with a heartiness and a feeling which I cannot put into words for the kindness which you have shown me to-day among the thousands that were assembled at the site of the new building, and which you have shown me in this hall. I know how little, after all, any one man can do, in the country or in the world, but all that has been done by man, of course, is doneby the little that individual men can do added together. I hope, therefore, that if my labours have met with your approbation (enthusiastic cheers), I can feel that wherever I am, and in what soever cause I am working, consistent with the past, I shall have, so far as it may fairly be given, the sympathy and support of my townsmen, which I value far more and far above all the sympathy and support I can obtain from any other body of my countrymen. (Loud cheers.) A number of other toasts were given, and the proceedings terminated about 6 o'clock. Foreign Mail Packet List MAILS DUE.

Aprll 23, The simple spring dresses will not be much trimmed— pattes, or lozenges, or silk pipings, will be all the ornament —but for richer materials the various kinds of passemen terie will be in requisition. By passementerie our readers must not understand the gimp of former days merely, but silk cords mixed with "gold, cameos, fringes, crystal, jet, and mother-of-pearl pendants in endless variety. The rage for Cluny lace has produced many pretty white batiste and muslin bodies._ trimmed with it, and for small ireunloTorTEiy are much spoken of ; but it must be said that black lace is preferable for evening wear, except ing, perhaps, for quite young ladies. They are made with basquines of wide lace, and, if desired, a sash or band may be worn over them ; but they are always high, and some times made open a little way down the front. As to sleeves, when worn at all, they are quite small and straight, with an insertion up the seam, but these casaques are as frequently made without as with sleeves. Of course this depends upon the taste of the wearer. We commence our list of dresses this month with. some full toilets for out-of-doors wear.

SAMUEL WILDERSTIN, THE FOUNDER OF INFANT SCHOOLS, who died on the 10th inst., aged 74, was born at Hornsey, in Middlesex, not in poverty, as in one place stated, but in lowly rank He obtained only an elementary school education, and was placed to learn a common trade ; but his sympathies led him to become a teacher of poor children, he began where we in work houses and low neighbourhood ought to begin, namely, with the "precious infants," using a term which he de lighted to employ ; and the honest, truthful, little man suc ceeded as he deserved. His first school, we believe, was in Quakei-street, Spitalfields, London. As " Temple Bar" in 1861 said, "he was at home in the midst of babies." What a fine touch of nature he-displayed when he subdued to pietude a school full of crying, yelling, kicking, little rebels, who had risen in boisterous panic to go to their mothers, by marching among them with his wife's gaily ribboned cap stuck on a clothes prop ! He used to be proud of this feat, and it illustrates the principle on which he acted. Mr. Wilderspin was married twice, and he had three daughters. Two of these have gone before him. One was unmarried, and she lies in Thorne's churchyard, where also his earthly remains, attended by friends, were placed last Wednesday morning. The other was the wife of Mr. Yung, a fellow-worker of Mr.Wilderspin's, now principal of the Infant department of the Irish Model Schools in Dublin, who was present at the funeral ; as also was his son, the Rev. Samuel Wilderspin Young, by whom part of the service was read, Mr. Jones officiating at the grave. Mrs. Ten ington is the remaining daughter. Her husband was known to and respected by many here, he having, on some of his visits several years ago, lectured at our Mecha nics Institution. Her son, too, was present at the funeral.
