At the close of the settling for Saturday's racing at Newmarket, the Derby books were opened (some, we surmise, for the last time until after Christmas) and a -- 7gements made, at .odds that varied in two or .eee instances from those last quoted; we may particu- Arise Napier and Cotherstone, who have each improved several points, and are likely to become better fa vourites; in these, hoWever, as well as in the other cases, the extent of the fluctuation will be shown in the follow ing list of prices:-- but is disqualified by the death of the late Duke of Cleveland. In concluding this last hebdomadal notice of the last meeting this season, I have to observe that th question has been several times mooted whether it would not be expedient to bring forward the three October Meetings one week : as the Liverpool Autumn Meeting is never to be more, the week after Doncaster is free, and it cannot be said that the horses running at the latter place have any thing to do with the First October Meeting. The question is worthy of consi deration, as although such an abundance of sport, th weather at the beginning of this last week was really enough to damp the spirits of both men and horses. Not many years ago the snow was so deep that the course for the Criterion Stakes was absolutely covered two feet, and men were obliged to dig a road out ere the race could come off. JUDEX. October 31. HYDROPATHY, OR THE COLD WATER. CURE. (From the Kentish Observer). On Friday evening last a very interesting lecture on Hydropathy, or the Cold Water Cure, was de livered at the Royal Oak Assembly-rooms, Dover, by Captain Claridge, who is the author of a work on the subject. After a few general remarks the Captain related to the audience his own experience of the be nefits to be derived from the system. He was suffer ing severely from rheumatism, headache, and weak ness of the eyes, for which he had consulted many physicians, and tried various remedies without ef fect, when he was advised to try the effect of this method. For this purpose he proceeded, with his family, to Grafenberg, in Silesia, the residence of Mr. Priessnitz, the originator of the system. Mr. Priessnitz was a peasant, without education; and his skill in curing diseases originated in accident. He was severely injured by a kick from a horse, which broke two or three of his ribs. The surgeon whom he consulted said he would be disabled for life. He, however, determined to attempt a cure, which he effected by cold water and spare diet alone. He afterwards performed several cures on men and animals. Grafenberg is situated about half way up one of the mountains of the. Sudates. The establishment of Mr. Priessnitz, is a very irregular structure, having been built at different periods ; but it has one noble room, which is used for meals and assemblies. The accommodations are very coarse, and, in consequence, Captain Claridge took up his quarters in the neighbouring town of Freiwaldau. He had not been long here before he was visited by two Englishmen, whom he had persuaded to apply to Mr. Priessnitz: They assured him they should owe him an eternal debt of gratitude, for their restoration to health. They then invited him to dine at the public table, where they sat down about 300 persons, and the Captain took occasion to remark the extraordinary flow of spirits which seemed to pervade the company, so different from what any one would expect in in valids. His friends then pointed out to him some extraordinary cures effected by hydropathy. One was a young lady, who went there with scrofula in her face and neck, so bad as to render her quite an object; in nine months she was so oompletely reco vered as to be considered the beauty of the room. Another case was that of an officer who, in conse quence of a wound, had his le , sso withered that it was not thicker than his wrist. He shortly had the limb perfectly restored. Many others they pointed out. The table is spread with plain food, and no restric tion is placed upon the patients, except in forbidding the use of wine, beer, mustard, pepper, &c. The course prescribed by Mr. Priessnitz, for Cap t ain Claridge, was the following :—At about four o'clock in the morning his servant brought a large coarse blanket, in which he was enveloped, and which was tightly fastened round his neck, and at his feet; then, as many blankets as he could conveniently bear were heaped upon him, and on these a bed, so as effectually to exclude the external air ; in this state he remained till six o'clock. In about an hour, per spiration took place, when the doors and windows were opened, and he was instructed to drink about a pint of cold water, by means of a pipe. At six o'clock the coverings were removed, and he had his face, chest, and shins washed with cold water, to prevent his taking cold. lie then descended to the bath in a pair of straw shoes. In the bath he remained three minutes; dressed, with all the windows open, and walked, drinking cold water at various places (to the amount of about eight glasses), until he arrived at the estab lishment to breakfast, which was composed of milk, butter, and brown bread, with wild strawberries, for five months in the year. Then he descended the mountain by , another path, and on his way took a douche bath, in which the stream flowing from the mountain is collected in a pipe. This is suffered to flow first on one part of the body, then on another, and lastly on the part affected. From this he pro ceeded home, took a sitz bath—a tub with about six or nine inches of water, in which he sat for fifteen minutes • he then took a foot-bath for the sam e len g th of time, the servant rubbing his feet while they were in the water. For the weakness of his sight he lay on the floor upon his back, and placed the back of his head in a basin of water for five minutes. He dined at one o'clock: at three repeated the same process, and walked until nine. For supper he ate the same as at breakfast. His daughter, who was supposed to be consumptive, but who Mr. Priessnitz pronounced had merely outgrown her strength, being, as he expressed it, too tall for her breath, underwent a similar pro cess, except that, to produce perspiration she was en veloped in a wet sheet, instead of a blanket, and at night she wore a wet cloth upon her chest, and an • other round her body. In less than three months she was perfectly recovered. The Captain remarked that he could see no reason why man should not live to 200 years of age. The inferior animals, it is calculated, live eight times as long as it takes them to arrive at maturity, and why not man ? He then adduced several examples of FOR GRANTING LIFE ASSURANCES, DEFERR CORNHILED ANNUITIES, &c. No. 26, L. Capital £500,000. Empowered by Special Act of Parliament. DIRECTORS. T.

WESTERN THE 'HOUGHTON 1 EETING. One might easily fill half a column of your paper by abusing the weather. Let it be understood that this has been as detestable as the greatest enemies of racing could desire, and i_speal: of itttiv , io.4-,re. By a paragraph headed the ligt,"We item told thatiti future cards were to be printed and sold here, as at every other race-course in the kingdom. This new regulation came into operation on Monday. So long as the card-women are not allowed to sell, or offer to sell, the cards, I have nothing to say against it. I need not comment on the nuisance these an g els divine used to be at Ascot, .and everywhere else, before the enclosures were made in front of the grand stands. There were six races on our opening day. Eight started for the Criterion, value 5601., anti a pretty lot they appear to be. Odds were betted that Scot won, although no one would take any odds about Cother stone for the Derby : in the last meeting 20 to 1 was taken freely about him, an evident proof that in the intervening week he had ,not done quite all that had been required of him.

He said that people never died at Grafenberg of any acute disorder. He states that there are now a hundred establishments on the same plan in Germany, and gave an account of the number of patients who have consulted .

The New York papers state that money is plentiful, and that there is an increasing disposition to invest in the better sort of stocks. Much of the Government loan has been disposed of at par and interest. There had been much business transacted with the stocks of the dividend-paying States, but with those of the non paying States scarcely any thin g had been done. lie mercantile business was small, but safe, and prices continued low, while the supply of produce was extensive. The Canada papers give a statement of the probable revenue and expenditure of the province for the year ending. the 31st of December next. Under the head of expenditure, the interest on the public debt is stated at 80,0001., and the amount of the civil list at 83,3331., which, with other items described — such as the main tenance of schools, public works, and the several dis trict courts—forms a gross total of 299,5401. 14s. 9d. sterling. The sources of revenue show net Customs duties as 280,0001., net Excise as 3 9 ,0001 - ., net terri torial 31,0001., with bank imposts of 10,0001., the in stalment of the American Land Company of 11,1111., revenues from public works of 21,000/., and other items, forming a total of 352,4941. 18s. sterling. SUN.—There was no rally in the British Se curities this afternoon, and the transactions were at the following rates :—Consols for immediate transfer 931 to 934, and for Account 93* to 93n. Exche quer Bills brought 575. to 60s. premium, and East India Bonds 50s. to 525. premium ; Bank Stock was dull at 165. The New Three -and-a-Half per Cents. realised 1014- to 1011, and the Reduced 100 i to 100 k. The Foreign Funds closed flatly, except Portu guese, which supported their value. The New Five per Cents. continued Mexicanr 38 to 381, and the Con verted at 32* to 321 ; Stock receded to 324 to 311 owing to the account of Santa Anna's re newed hostilities against Texas. Brazil Stock was dull at 63; Belgian Bonds were at an improvement to 104 and 1041 Spanish Actives gradually fell to to 174, the Three per Cents. being 2111 to 21 4 ; French Five per Cents. were steady at 118 f. 25c., with the Exchange at 25f. 60c. ; and Dutch Two-and a-Half per Cents. were quiet at 521 to 52*.

Edinburgh and Glas dgowis were 3f, Brighton 13k, and South Eastern 271 c ount. London Joint Stock Bank Shares were 3i, and London and We stminster 24 prem.

These mines, which belong to the lion. East India Company, have never been worked with becoming spirit, although some very excellent samples of the above gems hare been occasionally de tected in the district. THE COTTON MARKET.—There was a revival of activity in the market during the week. The sales amounted to 28,000 bags, of which 10,000 were on speculation. A slight advance in price followed the increased demand. Forty bales of Orleans, of this year's growth, received by the &milt America from New York, have been nearly all sold at Bd. per lb.

ASSURANCES MAX EITHER BE EFFECTED BY PARTIES ON THEIR OWN LIVES; OR BY PARTIES INTERESTED THEREIN ON THE LIVES OF OTHERS. The effect of an Assurance on a person's own life is to create at once a Property in Reversion, which can by no other means be realised. Take, for instance, the case of a person at the age of thirty, who, by the payment of 5/. 3s. 4d. to the Britannia Life Assurance Company, can become at once pos sessed of a bequcathable property, amounting to 1,0001., sub ject only to the condition of his continuing the same payment quarterly during the remainder of his life—a condition which may be fulfilled by the mere saving of EIGHT SHILLINGS weekly in his expenditure. Thus, by the exertion of a very slight degree of economy—such, indeed, as can scarcely be felt as an inconvenience, he may at once realise a capital of 1,0001., which he can bequeath or dispose of in any way he may think proper.

PETER MORRISON, Resident Director. A liberal Commission allowed to Solicitors and Agents. TO BONUS POLICY HOLDERS. The Protective Re-assurance having been again desired by parties who availed themselves (during the currency of the two last Equitable decennial per.ods) of the simple system originated by the ASYLUM in 1828, the Directors, to avoid the future necessity of such repetitions, have constructed scales of renewable term insurances,. continw,us from division to division, according to the duranon of the original p without having recourse to new Certificates of Health, or fur ther investigation of any kind, after one present satisfactory appearance before a Medical Officer of the Company, thus providing, as far as possible, a remedy for the defects of the Bonus system, rendered glaringly apparent by the existing ex pediency for such protective Re-assurance. By the adop tion of this easy plan, parties may .not only secure Equitable and other Bonuses, but, at the same time, provide, by such extra insurance, for any additional object that may occur during the currency of the original Policy, whilst in the event of premature death, they will have paid no more than the price of a term, with the full advantage of a whole-life insurance, and realise all the expectant advantages of Survivorship.

We understand that his predecessor, Samuel Bushell, officiated for the still longer space of 49 years. The village of Hale, has, indeed, long been proverbial for its salubrity and the longevity of its in habitants. The late John Blackburne, Esq., of Hale Hall, was representative in Parliament for the county for the unusual period of 46 years. Last Christmas, we had to notice the death of " Old Nanny Lackey," aged 94; and, between the years 1830 and 1834, there were living at Hale, Thomas Turton, agent to John Blackburne, Esq., aged 93 ; Sarah Hawks?,y, 94 ; Ellen Bayley, 99 ; and Esther Halsall, 104 years.— Mcvichester Guardian. THE DEAD ALIVE.—A short time agoaninh ‘, bitant of Nantes, who was supposed to be dead, was placed in his coffin for interment, but he suddenly gave signs of life on hearing the de profundis chanted, having been simply in a trance, and finally recovered. This happy recovery is about to give birth, says a Nantes journal, to a law-suit of a singular character, for the ex-deceased, after having received the sincere felicitations of his friends, and the extra-sincere ones of his heirs, has been presented by the cure who su perintended the funeral ceremony, with a demand for 219 f. for the expenses of the funeral. The resusci tated gentleman, considering it rather hard to pay such a sum for a funeral which did not take place, re fused to honour the cure's bill, on the ground that he had not been buried, and that if the cure thought he had, he had better apply to those who had commanded the ceremony. The cure, on the other hand, declares that if the interment had not taken place, it was not his fault, and that, therefore, as he had prepared all matters ne cessary for its proper execution, he should persist in his demand. So the matter rests at present.—Galig names Messenger. THE GREAT WALKING FEAT.—EIIWOrth accom plished his great feat of walking 1,000 miles in LOCO successive hours, at Porter's splendid hotel court e, Cambridge, Miss., on Wednesday morning, at five o'clock.—New York Herald. SPANISH ie betting. For the Cambridgeshire, value 1,0801., eighteen started : two or three remained at home, not liking the weather. , Had Mr. fat James Robinson chosen to get down to the weight. I suppose no one will now ima gine that Ralph could not have won the Cesarewitch and I expressed this opinion immediately after that race, as well as my opinion before that race, that he would win. I have been hardly treated. A finer race was never seen. These six were abreast as they entered the cords :—Ralph, Florence, Lady Adela, Garry Owen, Knight of the 'Whistle, and 13ellissiina. The horse won very clever at last. There was very little betting on the race. Books were opened late, and I should saythere were very few losers or large winners. It is my opinion this race would be better run on the Tuesday. Vulcan, Melior, and Florence were backed for more money a great deal than any other three. The Nursery closed in two classes, as I anticipated, this evening (Tuesday). the s ettlin g took p lace in the court-yard attached to the rooms. 'Wh y this should not be enclosed in a glass case, and the ad mission be one guinea per annum , I know not ; I am sure it would be a most popular improvement ; people w r e a r i e n m . are not fond of paying and receiving thousands in the wind and matches pound to a shilling is T ea h l e le r d e , w fe e r r i e t \y againasa six races, but the on each. A sort of a wrangle took place for the last race, but the winner won easy. Old Chifney displayed a fine bit of riding in the first, and, to give the devil his due, did win a race right out of the tire. Five races were run on the NVednesday : in the first Portrait and the Knight of the Whistle ran a dead heat, and the former, I believe, never did any thing better in his life: how they could back him as they did at 8 to 1 for the Cesarewitch is a mystery, but there are many such on the turf. Jeremy Did dler won the Jack Plate—i. e., the plate won by Jack last year—by a short head. Had the Prince of "Wales won, they would of course have tak en 8 to 1 about him for the Derby. Another reason exists why they never should now—he does not happen to be in the Derby. The betting on this was heavy after the races. Murat, Philip, and Jamal were backed to win great stakes ; the latter is entered in the Derby under the name of Bacon. Although in creasing the sport the dividing the Nursery into two classes proved an effectual check to book -making, for, up to this evening, I question if two bets were laid on the two races. On Thursday we are gratified with the important declaration that it is not Lord George Bentinck's present intention to run Gaper for the Derby. Now, as it is not my present intention to be Lord Mayor of London next year, Ido not say it is ; but if I did, and changed my mind in the spring, there is no Act of Parliament to prevent my s o doing, and of what avail would have been my declaration? I re member the same manifesto coming out about a horse called Grey Milton. The public having their own curious way, o f interpret ing this pretty language, immediately backed him heavily. I wonder if they will Pay his Lordship the same ambiguous compliment a second time. There was a grand coursing match in the morning, and not much racing in the afternoon. Murat, looking rough and bad in the coat, won his race in a slovenly style, and Forester, like all the Irish horses, comes out after being beat half a-dozen times, and wins half-a-dozen lengths : his owner, however, has made a sad hash of what might have turned out a most valuable horse; he might have almost made a certainty of the next Goodwood Stakes. FRlDAT.—Rhodanthe has won a race at last, so ex claimed the ring after the Audley End Stakes. 'Tis a long lane without a turning. O n t h e fi rs t class f o the Nursery th ere was ver y little betting, notwith standing one of the finest handicaps ever seen. Co therstone, I pronounce, will see a better day. More horses were backed in the second class, which was a good had a me been tween the two. The fraternity would have preferred one class. Garryovven lost his match : the orders given to his jockey were surely most injudicious. In a short race, it seems preposterous that the little horse should wait upwards of two lengths behind his oppo nent, the horse pulling so hard that he appeared to run all over the course. Perhaps lam wrong, but I think, properly rode, Garry° . wen would have beat the mare. In spite of their being ; e -gat races already on the list for Saturday, the departures this evening were numerous. I told you in my last that we might fairly expect five and thirty races during the week ; thirty-eight were actually run, and four matches did not come off. I be lieve there would have been more, and that such a su perfluity would not have been reserved for the last day, had not the Marquis of Exeter been summoned to Windsor to attend her Majesty ; h is Lordship did not get back to Newmarket until Friday night. Twelve races in the day are too much for man and beast—if Nat, the jockey, does n ot agree with me, I'll be upon my oath his hack does—this popular insect actually rode in ten races, and I have calculated that he could not have travelled much less than f orty miles to do this. Of the ten matches it particularly behoves me to speak of those won by Celia, that I may introduce to your notice the extraordinary performances of the Touchstone stock (my favourite blood, as you very well know). Touchstone is the sire of Auck land, Blue Bonnet, Celia, Lady Adela, Rosalind, Dilbar, and (as in every litter there is always one very wretched little pig) Jack. Auckland was once tried to be an extraordinary good horse, Blue Bonnet won the St. Leger, Celia was amiss in the spring or would have won the Oaks in a walk ; if the running of her opponents is right this last week, there is no three-year-old in training that would have a chance with her. Lady Adela was the only three-year.old in the Cambridgeshi re St a k es 'not distanced; she was a good third, Look at the run ning of Ma Mie, and recollect Rosalind beat her in a canter the other day. Dilbar was at 7 to 4 for the Oaks, and beat Celia at Goodwood easy. I will leave the little pig t o squeak for himself. Cotherstone (goodness gracious, there are only two other by Touchstone in the Derby) runs a dead heat for the Nursery, not half prepared : reader, never forget him.

He Was in the Derby, 7 — 7 By a communication issued on Friday from the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders, the following is stated to be the position of that part of the Colombian debt attaching to the Republic of New Granada, which is 50 per cent. on the whole :—An agreement was made at Bogota in April last, between the agents of the Bondholders and the Government, subject to approval by the Bondholders in England, for the adjustment of this portion of the debt. It has been found impracticable to carry this agreement into effect, in consequence of its containing a clause to which the assent of the British Government cannot be. i-Qlltaineci. _ '.l:laclause is to the effept., that in order to prevent the branches of revenue ailproPriated to the payment of the dividends being at any future time interfered with by factious disturbances in New Gra nada, the British Government will bind itself, when ever called upon by the Government of New Granada to do so, to lend its assistance towards putting down such factious disturbances. The British Government, al though always ready to do every thing in its power to protect the interests of the Bondholders, has declined to enter into an engagement the consequences of which it does not foresee; and, as the aforesaid agreement with the Bondholders has been made to depend upon obtaining the agreement of the British Government to this clause, the proceedings are of necessity referred back to Bogota, in order that the clause in question may be abstracted from the agree ment. It is quite clear that the Government of New Granada could have no right to impose any such con dition on the Bondholders. The Committee of Bond holders have sent out peremptory instructions to Bogota to have the negotiation brought to an instant close, without the introduction of any condition which it is n A in the power of the Bondholders to perform. The last accounts from New Granada state that tran quillity was restored throughout the Republic ; but there is no doubt that the mischief which the last re volution (extending over a period of nearly 18 months) has produced, has greatly thrown back the resources of the country from one extremity of it to the other. The Committee have at the same time sent instruc tions to obtain an immediate arrangement of that portion of the debt which devolves on the Republic of the Equator, viz., 211 per cent. —Times. THE WINE TRADE. The following correspondence of the leading mem hers of the Portuguese wine-trade with the Foreign office bears immediate reference t o the state of negotia tions with Portugal : ~;r Loitp—v 9 1 0, St. Sw , ith ie in's, the undersigned-lane, London, Britishoct.ls m 15, 1842. chants, having establishments at Oporto and Lisbon engaged in the commerce in Portuguese wines, re spectfully beg leave to represent to your Lordship the great and serious injuries under which we have been for a long time labouring—injuries which are daily increasing—in consequence of the entire stagnation of the trade in wines, owing to the expected reduction of duties. "That which thus affects us affects the whole of the wine-merchants of the United Kingdom in an equal, or perhaps a greater, degree. "We feel satisfied that her Majesty's Government must be anxious to do all in their power to avert these evils, and to relieve the wine trade from its pre sent most embarrassing situation ; and we venture to point out to your Lordship, that had it not been for the declaration that the usual drawback on duty paid stock in dealers' hands would not be allowed, the pay ment of duties on wine would have gone on as unin terruptedly as ever (as in 1834, prior to the reduction of 1835), and that the impetus given to the wine trade, whenever the duty shall be reduced, would, if thf return were granted, be such as rapidly to reim burse the Treasury the amount so returned. " Whatever may be the ultimate decision of her Majesty's Government on that point however, we beg most earnestly to press upon your Lordship the adop tion of every measure which can tend to bring this long-pending negotiation with Portugal to a speedy issue.—We have the honour to be very respectfully, my Lord, your Lordship's most obedient and very humble servants, [Here follow the signatures.] " To the Right Hon. the Earl of Aberdeen."

" GENTLEMEN—I am directed by the Earl of Aber deen to acknowledge the receipt of the letter which you and several of the principal merchants engaged in the commerce in Portuguese wine have addressed to his Lordship, representing the stagnation which at present prevails in that commerce, in consequence of the new duties not being settled, and calling upon his Lordship to adopt every measure for the speedy settlement of those duties ; and I am to state to you, in reply, that the amount of those duties is included in the various points which are now in negotiation between Great Britain and Portugal, and that every exertion is making to bring the negotiations to a speedy conclusion. —I am, Gentlemen, your most obedient humble servant, " 11.

DEATH IN BRIXTON HOUSE OF CORRECTION.- Yesterday Mr. Carter, the Coroner for Surrey, held an inquest in the Brixton House of Correction re specting the death of Henry Brice, a prisoner who had been committed from Union-hall, for fourteen days, for refractory conduct in Newington Workhouse. It appeared the deceased was one of those who would not work after breakfast, but preferred, as soon as that meal was over, taking a walk to some other place for the same purpose. By lyinz about in the open a ir and damp he had greatly impaired his health and con stitution, and was ill when admitted, and, although every attention was paid to him, he got worse, and ex fired.

CUPAR ANGUS--.SUDDEN RISING OF A RIVER. — So suddenly did the river Ericht, near its conjunction with the Isla, a little beyond Cupar Grange, rise on Friday last, that it nearly swept the boatman and his coble down the stream, while crossing about mid-day. The river was at its usually low ebb and calmness at this season when he crossed with a passenger, which occupies about two minutes, and on his instant return it had risen so qu ickl y , and so strong was the current, that he had great difficulty in effecting a landing, and the spot from which he emigrated so recently was occupied by a black foaming peatish flood. The late rains amongst the hills account in some measure for this uncommon floo d ; but the oldest persons in the district do not, from their earliest recollection, bring to mind a similar instance where so great a body of water came breasting down on the same day.—Perth shire Advertiser.

DEATH OF THE REV. SOLOMON HERSCHELL.— Died yesterday morning, in the 82d year of his age, the Rev. Solomon Herschell, 40 years Chief Rabbi, and during that long period beloved and respected by all classes of perms, without reference to religious opinion. FASHION'S EMBER. (Flom the World of Fashion Monthly Magazine.) CAPS are mostly composed of blond, and verdant green ribbon, surmounted with a wreath of geraniums. Others, of the form Marie Antoinette, are composed, simply of lace, the foundation being of that material,, trimmed all round with a single row of a light de scripticn of lace, and ornamented with a ribbon ron lean of green taffetas, pose in a kind of wreath under the lace, and which is attached on one side by a cbou of green ribbon, having long ends; the hair, when arranged in the English curls, suits admirably with this becoming little cap. COIFFURES.—For full dress the coiffure Rachel is; still the greatest favourite, composed of gold net work and grenat velvet, having very long ends de scending on each side, and terminated with long gold tassels reaching to the waist. CArorrs.—Satin capotes are very much in vogue at the present moment, particularly those in pale azure blue, or pink, and trimmed with a broad English lace! iapfet, forming a kind of half handkerchief over the crown, and descending on each side of the front in a sort of veil; this lappet is interspersed with half" wreaths or bouquets of beautiful flowers of the same shade as the bonnet. Those in velours epingle are also much in favour; the most distingue colour be • a pearl grey glace with Rink, and ornamented wir3. marabout feathers to match, the interior of the capotes being decorated with roses panachees, the same colours.; as the material of this most distinguished looking capote.. NEW MATERIALS FOR WALKING DRESSES.—The: richest kind of material for this description of dress, is the satin chatogants a lignes of two shades brochees; also Scotch velvets, les Armures gothique, gros de! Tours, levantines doubles, velours d'Orent, and Pekins brochee. WALKING DRESSES.—The skirts of the dresses , axe now being made longer and of a greater width than ever ; the most favourite style of trimming being either three rows of tucks, or flounces; there is no change in the depth of the waists, but the lengtliening of the skirts make us inclined to predict the return of the demi-trains—good taste forbids it ! The sit eves Louis XIV., and a la Richelieu, retain all their favour. Pearl and French grey are decidedly the most fashio.n. able colours for promenade dresses. CLOAKS.—The following has just made its appear ance; it is the most elegant and recherche of its kind, being composed of velvet oreilie d'ours, or bear's ease colour, the whole of the manteau being encircled witk rich embroidery of the same colour but of different; shades, and edged with a broad fringe in points of guipure. Satin cloaks will be mostly embroidered in soutache, or braid of different shades, having a . _ very beautiful effect, the different shades giving the embroidery a raised appearance. DINNER DRESSES.—VeIvets and black satin are both very much in vogue for this style of costume, their appearance being particularly elegant when made in the following style—the corsage half high ; the back plain ; the front a cinq plis, reaching from the shoulder and descending en demi Stuart to the , end of the bust; berthe of rich black lace, the sleeves a l'Espagnol, having a long opening encircled with lace, and showing here and there an under sleeve of white satin; manchettes of black lace, form Louis. XIV. ; of course, this kind of dress is mostly suited, for ladies of a certain age, our younger elegantes pre fering dresses of printed tarlatane over gros de Naples ; corsage en geroe ; sleeves Pompadour, de scending as far as the elbow, and trimmed with bon hommes in point of Paris. FURS.—Sable trimmings will be much worn, in change with ermine. The camail will be greatly in favour this 'winter ' made either entirely of ermine , or of velvet ornamented with ermine trimmings. Muffs also will be considered indispensable ; they will be mostly of ermine or sable ; in form they will be even smaller than those worn last winter, being ornamented at each end with broad white satin ribbon. Les Wits houras or redingotes of velvet will be mostly trimmed with ermine, and pelerines to match. Cachmere'. cloaks are also being lined with ermine, the sides and all round the bottom having a flouncing of the same, reaching to the height of the knee. Calm/is are now mostly used for an evening, and are composed of satin, wadded and bordered with swansdown. COLLARS.—Nothing can equal the beauty and rich ness of the collars manchettes of the present day, par ticularly those embellished with aragonaise embroidery.. For young persons des cols Yollande are mostly used, and are at once simple and graceful. Les fichus Marie Antoinette retain also all their favour, being a perfect assemblage of lace, forming a fichu of most grace ful kind. We must also not omit mentioning des manchettes Moliere, des manches Ninon, and colle - rettes Jeanne d'Arc. Fashionable Colours for the month will be different shades of green, violet, fawns, and shots—such as pink and lilac, violet and green, pink and fawn, marroon and ruby—great. I FUNERAL OF GRACE DARLING. The funeral of the heroine of the Ferne Islands took place at Bamburgh, on Monday week, and was attended by upwards of 200 individuals belonging to that neighbourhood, the principal mourners on the melancholy occasion being the venerable father, rela tionS, and friends of the deceased, whose severe be reavement excited the liveliest sympathy. The pall was borne by William Barnfather, Esq., from Aln wick Castle ; Robert Smeddle, sq., of Bamburgh Castle ; the Rev. R. M. Taylor, of North Sunderland ; and Thomas Bender, Esq., surgeon, Bamburgh. Mr. Evans, chief officer of the Customs, and the principal inhabitants of the village and neighbourhool Joining in the sorrowful procession. The service was per formed by the Rev. William Darnell, incumbent of the parish. At the lowering of the coffin, and through out the whole of the service, many a tear was shed. The coffin, which was remarkably neat, bore the fol lowing inscription :—" G. 11. Darling, died October 20, 1842, aged 26 years." A severe gale from the N.N.E. prevented the three brothers of the deceased from being present at the last mournful tribute of affection to their dear sister. It appears that for some time previous to the death of this truly excellent and exemplary young woman, she was perfectly aware that her latter end was approaching, but this gave her no uneasiness. She had been nurtured in the fear and love of God, and dependence on the merits of her Redeemer, and her hope of mercy in creased as her bodily strength diminished. She was never heard to utter a complaint during her illness, but exhibited the most Chr istian resignation through• out. Shortly before her death she expressed a wish to see as many of her relations as the peculiar nature of their employment would admit of, and, with sur prising fortitude and self-command, she delivered to each of them some token of remembrance. This done, she calmly awaited the approach of death, arid finally resigned her spirit into the hands of Him who gave it, without a murmur. The celebrity which this amiable female . had acquired effected no change in her conduct or demeanour. She was from her earliest years of a meek, kind, and gentle disposition, and so she continued to the last moment of her exist ence. Having been once asked how she could think of continuing to reside on a barren rock after having become so celebrated, and why she did not come on shore awl enjoy the pleasures of life, she replied— " Had you seen the awful wreck of the Forfarshire, the melancholy sight would have been more than suf ficient to have driven the pleasures of this world out of your mind for ever." The-circumstances connec ted with the wreck of the For-farshire were such and so recent, that it is quite unnecessary to recapitulate them ; they are engraved o n the memory of_ t e t m he in p t r h e- e sen t generation, and future ages will re. of Journal. history of our coun tr y . —Newcastle . ------------ theh_peNoow " tehrPRESTON AND WIRE RAILWAY, HARBOUR, AND DOCK ComrAxy.--Yesterday the half-yearly general meeting of the Proprietors was held at the offices, King William-street, City, when Sir liesketh Fleet wood, Bart., 11LP., took the chair.
