ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Business continues moderately active in the dis count circles, and there is no disposition on the part of the bill brokers at present to relax their terms. Towards the end of next week, after the bills due on the 4th are liquidated, an easier feeling is likely to prevail. About £34,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. There was a slightly downward movement in the foreign exchange yesterday afternoon. Since Monday last the imports of specie amounted to £854,800, and the exports to £345,100. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 6 81, 80c.—firm. During the early part of the day the English Stock Market was a little flatter, but Consols at the close were again quoted 93.2 1 for money, and 93- 1 2 for the account. Very little business has been negotiated, and the market has consequently presented an extremely dull appearance. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 931 4 ; Exchequer Bills, is. dis. to 2s. prem.; India 5 per Cents., 108 a Enfaced 5 per Cents., 107 ; do. 51 per Cents., 117. Although the movements in the Foreign Market have not been extensive, the tendency has been favourable; business is rather active. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1858, are 721 73; Ditto 1862, 691 701; Ditto Saimes are heavy at 521 ; Mexican have risen to 391 4 ; Greek to 35-a 7, ; Ditto Coupons to 171-. ; Spanish Passives aro steady at 341 ?,-; Ditto Certificates at 121 13; and the Confede rate Loan has risen to 27 25 discount. Dealings have also taken place in Equador at 16/ ; Egyptian, 1041 ; Granada 2 per Cents., 32 ; Peru vian 41 per Cents., 87 a ; and Venezuelan 6 per Cents., 571, 58. Business in the Railway Share Market hes been inactive, and prices in some instances have slightly receded. Midlands have declined 108.; and Great Western, North Stafford, and South Eastern 15s. Great Easterns, however, have improved 55., and Lancashire and Yorkshire, and South Western 10s, The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained without any material variation. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have exhibited increased firmness. Bank of Australia have im proved to 77 ; Bank of New Zealand to 11; Imperial Ottoman to 184- 7 7 , ; Scinde, Punjanb, and Delhi to 5g ; Hudson Bay Company shares have a dvanced to 4; 5 ; I nternat i onal F i nanc i al to 101 ; and General Credit to 31 4.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE PERKINS-JUDGMENT. His Honour this morning gave judgment in the matter of this bankrupt, who applied a few days s nce for discharge. He described himself as sewing machine manufacturer, and alleged that he had been in partnership with a person named Goodwin, but the latter put ib an affi davit denying any partnership, and asserted that the bankrupt had been merely his clerk, and had misappro priated moneys, and had been cued by Goodwin, at whose suit he was in custody. Goodwin. however, did not appear personally to be exa mined, and his Honour took time to consider the case, and now gave judgment ordering the bankrupt's release, and the examination and discharge was adjourned to the 13th October. IN RE CO3IMARK.-IMPORTANT CONCESSION TO CLAIMANT S. An application was made in this case, that certain pro perty seized by the messenger should be given up to Messrs. Potter and Co., wholesale stationers, who claimed it as belonging to them, although on the bankrupt's pre mises at the time of the bankruptcy. It wa© urged on their behalf that it formed part of a contract, and it was neces sary that it should bo delivered to-day. His Honour at first said that he could not interfere until assignees had been chosen, but ultimately made the order on Messrs. Potter entering into a guarantee to pay the value in the event of it ultimately resulting that the pro perty belonged to the estate. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A BARMAN CHARGED WITH ROBBING HIS EMPLOYER. —William Barker, barman in the employ of Mr. Tom Surridge, landlord of the Black Horse, Coventry-street, was chard before Mr. Knox with robbing his employer. Mr. Hall, from the office of Mr. Child, solicitor to the Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society, prosecuted. It appears that the prisoner was in Mr. Surridge's em ploy, Mr. Surridge paying hint a larger salary than was usual, namely, £25 a year. In consequence of a suspicion that the prisoner was robbing him, he examined the pri soner's bedroom, and under the carpet he found a hole, in which was a bag containing 225. This was on Monday last. Mr. Surridge then consulted the police, and on Thursday Sergeant Joy, 9 C, was called in, and some money marked and given to him. Later in the day, Laskey, 121 C, was also called in, and he went up stairs, and on the bag being , examined the money in it was found to be £4 6s, 6d. Yes terday (Friday) two holes were bored in a partition of the room, and Laskey placed to watch, and he saw the prisoner go into the room and afterwards go down stairs, and on Mr. Surridge, Sergeant Joy, Lackey, and the prisoner all going up to the room, and the bag being taken from the hole, it was found to contain £5 18s. 6d., all in silver and in packets of £1 each. The prisoner, who denied all knowledge of the. bag, was then taken to the station. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, AQUATICS. s. d. s. d.

The following is an extract from a New Orleans letter dated July 24 "An Italian ship, the Carioca, is advertised for Liverpool and Havre, anticipating a freight, but I do not think she will obtain one of cotton very soon, although the river is nominally open. An immense amount of it has been and will be destroyed by fire, and it is reported to be very un safe to go anywhere, even a mile from the river, into the interior. I have received no late tidings from -, as he is, I presume, fighting under General Johnston, who en countered Grant's forces lately, near Jackson, and repulsed him handsomely. It is thought, however, he is only trying to cover the removal of his stores, &c., to Meridian. . . The river navigation between here and Port Hudson is anything but safe. When least suspected the Confederates pop out on the river bank, and deliver a dose from their light batteries, quickly and easily moved from point to point. This, again, draws down the vengeance of the Yankees on the unoffending planters, and the valorous and magnanimous Farregut sends up gun boats to pour in broadsides on the neighbouring settlements. Last week a gun boat sent a tremendous, volley of shells and round shot into Governor Roman's dwelling house and out-houses, Two of these terrible missiles went through the main build ing, on the gallery of which the old governor and his wife composedly stood, never moving an inch during the perpe tration of this barbarous act. Seven shots altogether struck the premises, smashing up the beautiful conserva tories and hot-house mentioned by Russell in his diary. They also bestowed a shell on E. J. Forstali's planta tion house. In the Lafourche district the Yankees met with a sound thrashing at the hands of General Moreton, who commands a respectable force there. The scene of action was not very far from Donaldsonville. It seems to me as if the opening of the - Mississippi river by the Federals is likely to prove of as much practical value as the discovery of the North-West Passage—entirely nominal. Of the fate of Natchez we can gather nothing reliable, It is known that Colonel A. L. Bingaman, immediately on learning the fall of Vicksburg, gathered together his negroes, and in company with three or four more planters set out on his way to Texas, and had proceeded a good distance on his road when the Federals coming down to Natchez, and being apprised of the movement, sent a cavalry force after them, captured and brought them back, turned all the negroes loose, stripped the plantation of the parties of everything, and imprisoned Mr. Bingarnen. The r everal splendid mansions of Frank Surget, Alfred Davis, Mrs. Stanton, and others have been taken possession of. Plundering must have commenced already, for I saw a favourite and very valuable horse belonging to Alfred Davis a few days ago being driven in a buggy through Carondelet-street, which I recognised, having sat behind him frequently the winter before last when I was at Natchez, Mr.-- subsequently told me that he had made inquiries, and had ascertained that the Yankees had brought this horse down on the first boat which came through to the city, Some intelligent contrabands have spread all sorts of reports of the pillaging of Natchez, and the shooting of one or two citizens, but I cannot consider them altogether re liable or trustworthy statements. An immense number of negroes have been conscripted by General Banks, and ate now undergoing drill at the camps above the city. I learnt from Mr.— that they pounced down on Mr. Minor Kenner's a day or two ago, and notwithstanding the clamour and opposition on the part of the negro men, who sincerely wished to remain on the plantation with their families, the Yankee officers forced them off, and no redress could be had. Mr.-- tells me that from his place (Ashton) 145 negroes were enticed away ; the Abolition general had them placed in some salt warehouses at Algiers, where from neglect and starvation 52 of them perished—viz., 22 adults and 30 chil dren. The Lower Cotton-press (levee) is filled with negroes, and some white soldiers; four of these capacious yards are crammed with them; and the odour arising from such a con gregation of human beings is sickening at a distance of two squares off; one cannot approach them. Yesterday a whole waggon-load of coffins went into the press, and the mortality is very great among these unhappy wretches. " I have made diligent inquiry to-day about affairs at Natchez, as a boat arrived last evening which stopped there, but nothing can be elicited from those on board, The gene ral commanding this department, N. P. Banks, will give no passes up the river to any one, and it is perfectly impossible to communicate with our Mississippi friends. I infer from the reluctance evinced OT the authorities to permit travel in that neighbourhood that the successful conqueror, General Grant, wishes no interference, and to remain in undisturbed possession of his prey, so that he may be enabled to carry carry out his system of pillage thoroughly and completely. Numerous applications have been made, and the British consul has solicited permits to visit that section, with the view of affording her Majesty's subjects an opportunity of looking after their interests, but all to no purpose. "The city treasurer gives notice that 500,000 dole. more corporation notes will be emitted shortly. Already we have an abundant supply of 5 dols. and 10 dole. bills of the city put into circulation to represent the unpaid taxes of the last two years.

CHARGE OF WIFE BEATING.—A man named Hardy was brought up on a warrant by Knowland, ;the warrant officer, charged before Mr. Selfe with having assaulted his wife, Sarah Hardy. _ _ _ The complainant stated ou the Ist of August, in the afternoon, she was at home when her husband came into the room where she was. He was not sober, and without saying a word seized hold of her throat. He grasped it violently and swore that he would do for her. She screamed loudly, and made her escape out of the house. He soon after left her, when she returned home. Mr. Seife—When did you see him again? Complainant—This morning (Saturday) complainant was awoke up by his knocking at the door. She imme diately got up and gave information to the warrant officials. He (prisoner) was not sober. Rowland observed that the prisoner only took the pledge a few weeks ago. Mr. Selfe—Then there is no hope for him. (Laughter.) Rowland stated that he was called about four o'clock that morning by the complainant to take the prisoner into custody. Re went to 25, Regent-street, and found him there. He then conveyed him to the station-house. The prisoner was held to bail in two sureties of £5 each to keep the peace for two months. THAMES. A STRANGE ADVEN TURE. - -J;hannes Frank, a musi cian, about 45 years of age, and Katrina Dickman, a woman about 70 years of ago, who owned to 60, both natives of Germany, were brought before Mr. Partridge charged with stealing a sovereign and 75. 6d., the moneys of John Morrison. The prosecutor, a tall powerful man, in appearance a gipsy, with a sun -burnt face, said he was a stableman, and attended fairs and races. He came up to London from Windsor by the half-past six o'clock train yesterday after noon, and upon reaching the Commercial-road near his own dwelling, he went to the Duke of Clarence public-house, where be called for and drank a couple of pints of stout. Ho left at twelve o'clock, and sat outside the door for half an hour, when the old woman, Dickman, came up and asked him if he wanted a. lodging, to which he replied in the affirmative, and said he was not going home. She said she had a nice feather bed, and he agreed for the hire of it for the night. The woman took him to her room in an old house in Plummer's-row, Com mercial-road. The male prisoner was sleeping in the room, under an old bed tick, head and all. (A laugh.) Mrs. Dickman said that is my husband. He is under the tick, and won't see us. (A laugh.) He went to bed, and the female prisoner laid down on the same bed. Mr. Partridge—What I that old woman ? old enough to be your grandmother. Witness—Yes, sir. This morning at 6 o'clock I awoke and saw the man under the tick, and his head outside. I looked at my t rousers. The money was there safe. I had a sovereign i n my watch pocket. It was wrapped up in a piece of whit e paper. There was Os. of silver in another pocket. He went to sleep again, and awoke half-an-hour afterwards, and saw the old woman who was still lying by his side with his trousers in her hand, and in the act of handing the money she had stolen to her husband. He seized her wrist, but too late to save his money. He re mained in the house two hours longer, and then fetched a police-constable. A policeman, named Sears, 174 H, said he took the pri soners into custody, and he found on the male prisoner a sovereign wrapped up in a piece of white paper and 245. 6d, in silver in a bag. Morrison had no doubt that it was his, and asked that it might be restored to him. Mr, Partridge —Not until after the trial, a jury may decide that it is not yours. I shall commit the prisoners for trial. I will not take upon myself the responsibility of deciding this case. THE BLACK MAN AND HIS CHOrS.—Eliza Watkins, a gaily dressed woman of the town, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with stealing a silver watch from the person of Richard Howe, seaman and carpenter. The prosecutor, a black man, stated that he met the pri soner the night before last. He treated her with supper and grog. They had a dance, and he went home to her house in Albert-square, Shadwell. He remained with her all night, and in the morning he loft his watch with her, and told her not to pawn it. He went home and got some money, and when he returned to the prisoner he found she had pawned the watch for 30s. It waa worth five guineas. He asked for the duplicate, and she gave it to him and ran away. In, answer to questions by the prisoner, the witness said he told a girl he should not prosecute the prisoner. He said so to put the prisoner off her guard. lie was with the prisoner yesterday all day. The Prisoner—Yes ; and we spent some of the money I raised on the watch. • The black man—No, it was my own money. The Prisoner —You had pork chops for breakfast. Witness—Yes ; pork chops. The Prisoner—And lambs chop for dinner. • Witness—Yes ; lamb chops. The Prisoner—And mutton chops for supper, Mr.Darky. (A. laugh.) Witness—Don't call me names. Yes; mutton chops for supper. (Laughter.) Mr. Partridge said the black man appeared to be very fond of chops. He remanded the prisoner. L E. UDLOW iLECTION.—The election of a member for this borough, in the room of the late Beriah Botfield, Esq. ; took place at tho Guildhall, Ludlow, yester day. It was a very quiet affair ; although there were rumours of a mutest up to the last moment only one candidate, Sir W. Fraser, appeared on the hustings. After the usual preliminaries had been observed, the relieving officer, Mr. Southen, briefly addressed tho electors, and called upon them to nominate a candidate. lie paid a high tributo to the memory of the late member, in which all the speakers who followed hint joined. Sir C. Rous Boughton said he availed himself of the courtesy which allowed a member of some of the neighbouring county families to propose a can didate for the representation of the borough, and nominated as "a fit and proper person" Sir Wm. Fraser, whom h e recommended to the notice of the electors as entertaining political opinions identical with those of their late member. Mr. R. Jones seconded the nomination. No other candi date being proposed, the returning officer declared Sir Wm. Fraser duly elected. the hon. baronet then thanked the electors in a speech of some length, after which the proceed ings terminated. CAPTURE OF A BAST:INC, SITARIC.—On Friday morning last, John Bain, fisherman, West Clyth, captured a large fish of the genus AS'qualets, the basking shark. It got entangled in his herring nets, and when taken to the surface was quite lively, and was with great difficulty and with the assistance of another boat's crew towed ashore to Occuruster and completely mastered. The fish measured from the snout to the tip of the tail 27P,... 9in., and was armed with five rows of compressed shr.•,t,_edged teeth.—John o' oat Journal. • 111 1 :, CENTRE OF GRAVITY OF THE STATE is 'placed in the House of Commons, accordi;Ag to the happy I saying of fiord (John) Russoll. TYNE REGATTA. This regatta took place yesterday, on the Tyne, at New castle, and was very unsatisfactory in its results, only one of the races being decided. Green, the Australian, was to have competed in the Tyne Champion Cup, but from some unaccountable reason did not appear. It is needless to say this caused great dissatisfaction, as the race was expected to decide the relative merits of Chambers and Green.

EXTRAORDINARY ACTION FOR LIBEL.—At the Liverpool Assizes yesterday an extraordinary action for libel, Padley v. Cooper, was tried before Mr. Justice Mellor. The plaintiff, the Rev. J. S. Padley, a mini ster of the Established Church, residing in Leicester shire, sought to recover damages from a Mr. H. R. Cooper, a surgeon of Ixworth, in Suffolk, for an alleged libel. In early life the plaintiff was a schoolfellow of a young gentleman named Baddeley, who died a few years since, requesting him to act as a son and friei,cl to his father, Captain Baddeley, an Indian officer. Captain Baddeley, after his son's death, went to reside with the Padley's, and when he died he bequeathed all his property to the plaintiff. On this the de fendant, a relative of the Baddeleys, applied to the coroner to have the body of Captain Baddeley exhumed, alleging that ho' had been poisoned. The coroner, after making inquiries from the police, refused to hold an inquest. The deceased then addressed the Secre tary of State in several memoiials, to the effect that Captain Baddeley had died from neglect at the hands of the Padleys. He also addressed communications to the Bury Post, 'Stamford Mercury, and other papers reflect ing upon the plaintiff. After the case had proceeded some length, Mr. James, Q.C., who appeared on behalf of the defendant, said that his client, though he believed at the time he published the libels they were correct, was now convinced to the contrary, and was ready to ex press his regret for publishing them. His lordship, after remarking that the apology came very late, said he was happy to think that Mr. Padley, as a clergyman, had acted with perfect propriety and consistency, and the reverend gentleman would leave the court with the most absolute freedom from any reflections and imputa tions. Mr. Temple, for the plaintiff, said that as the action had not been brought for the sake :of damages, a verdict would be taken for £l5O. A verdict was therefore entered for this amount.—ln Padley v, Ross, au action against a newspaper reporter and correspondent for the publication of the same libel in other newspapers, the defendant, having expressed his regret, a juror was withdrawn. VIRGIL'S FAME,--Its vitality is unsurpassed, says a Saturday Reviewer, if not unprecedented in the annals of literature. As long as there was life in the Ro man Empire, Virgil's renown lived. He was the mould and glass in which every later epic poet, with the exception of Lucan, formed and reflected himself. Throughout the middle ages he was a burning and a shining light. Dante hailed him as his master and his great exemplar, and cen sured his friend Guido Cavalcanti for not prizing sufficiently " Arms and the Man." On the revival of literature his writings were diligently edited and illustrated. Many of his lines became proverbial, and some of them even now are intelligible and almost popular in the House of Com mons. They lie imbedded in the prose literature of Chris tendom at a time when Latin was tho language of diplo macy, theology, and even of science. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries ho would have been a hardy critic who should have awarded the palm to Homer. In the eighteenth century he was read by men who otherwise had little literature to boast of; and if in the present age Virgil's reputation has moulted some feathers, we must bear in mind that since 1800 there has been a general revolution in literary opinion. Many long-established reputations have been for a while displaced, without, however, any security that a later age may not reinstate them. For nearly nine teen hundred years of uninterrupted fame sterling merit can furnish the only explanation—merit, too, of a broad and diversified character, and not resting on any single basis of style, narrative power, skill in delineation, or catholicity of interest in the subject. To have endured so long, Virgil must have combined most, it not all, of the conditions of duration.

Miss Sophia Wheatley, of Charles-street, Berkeley •square, and St. Leonards on-Sea, was proved in London, by her sisters, the Misses Georgin3 Louisa Wheatley and Mary Wheatley, the joint executresses, and the principal legatees under the will. There are several pecu niary and specific bequests; amongst the latter are sundry articles of jewellery given to the testatrix at various times by the late Queen Dowager ; also a gold inkstand sent to the testatrix after her late Majesty's death. There relics she has separately bequeathed to her relatives and friends. All lega gacies are to be paid free of legacy duty. The residue of her property, real and personal, is to be equally divided between her said two sisters, who resided with the testatrix. The will of George Rainy, Esq., formerly o f Rails Inverness, NM., and late of Poi chester square, Middlesex, was proved in London under £160,000 personalty—the executors nominated being the testator's brother, Henry Rainy, Esq., M.D., of Glasgow ; Charles Stuart Parker, Esq.

The testator has devised his Bedfordshire estates to his son Edward, and has left all other his real estates to his son "Esculapius, dividing his per sonal estates between his two sons and a daughter. —lllustrated London News. FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER (From Le Fo It is by no means an easy task to write a bulletin of the modes at this season. All that there was to say on the sub ject of materials and styles for summer has been said, and it is almost too early to speak definitely about the autumn fashions; still we will, however, do our best to give our fair readers an idea of the intermediate toilettes to be worn in the interval between the end of one season and the be ginning of another. There is also some difficulty in selecting materials suitable to the weather; for, warm as it is during the day, it is quite cool in the mornings and evenings. It is for this reason that foulards are so much worn; they are cooler than taffetas, and yet warmer than muslin or grenadine. Mohair, foulard, and alpaca, we may then safely say, will be the materials most in request for September. Gaze do Chambery, Mousseline de sole, and grenadines, will be kept for warm days and toilettes habillees. As to colour, the new " turtle dove" is the last intro duced, but we do not think it will be very long in favour; as our Parisian models seem to have a decided penchant for decided hues, no very pale or undecided tints having been worn lately. Red is already much worn, and will be quite in favour by the autumn. White is very fashionable and elegant, either over a colour or not; according to the taste of the wearer and the material employed. A white alpaca dress and cloak, trimmed with cherry-coloured braid, have a very elegant effect. White dresses, made in muslin or transparent materials, have the skirts trimmed with Hated flounces or bouillon nees, in which are run coloured ribbons. When coloured skirts are worn under these dresses, they should be made of equal length with the over-skirt, and should in most cases be accompanied by a low body of the same, over which is worn the white corsage or pelerine. If the petticoats worn with these thin dresses should be of muslin, or washing gre nadine, they should be about an inch from the ground, and trimmed with flounces. We almost invariably see in Paris the petticoats of the same material as the dress, and trimmed in the same man ner. We fear our readers will think this rather an extrava gant fashion to recommend them, but if they will consider the expense incurred in the making and washing of flounced petticoats, we think they will soon be reconciled to the inno vation. Dresses are almost invariably accompanied by cloaks of the same. This fashion will, we believe, last during the autumn ; but we are not so assured of its continuance after the commencement of the winter season. Plaid dresses are fashonably worn ; they are as yet un common, but will become more general in the autumn. Plaid sashes of ribbon or silk are much in favour for white or self-coloured dresses. White bodies are so very useful to wear with skirts the bodies of which are old-fashioned or no longer fit, that they are likely to remain as much in favour for a long time as now are. They are made in various materials—muslin, plaited, or boullonnee, grenadine, foulard, or llama ; they are often trimmed with black lace insertion. Those bodies are no longer made to hang loosely over the skirt, like the Garibaldi, which is quite out of fashion except for early morning wear. The ceintures generally worn with these corsages are those called postillon. They are pointed at the top and bottom of the front, but have a plaited basque behind. Tho two front pieces forming the plastron are of white silk or moire, with a row of buttons down each seam. The rest of the ceintures postillion is made in coloured silk or moire, and to lace under the arms. The ceinturo Suisse is generally made with two points at the top, both in front and back, and is worn with bretelles. Sashes are rarely seen now with bows at the back ; they have generally a plaited bas cue, under which th e en d s are fastened. Same ceintures have four ends—one each side of the front, and two at the back; those in front are shorter than the others. In these materials this sash has a very elegant effect. It is thought very probable that tight-fitting jacket-bodies will be worn again towards the winter, the different vestes that have appeared this year and last have prepared us for the r esuscitation of this becoming style. Should jackets indeed return, they will not be made in a ny habille materi a l ir - suc h as s ilks, sad") moires or vel vets—but wi:l be confined to more homely wear. If they are reintroduced, it will be principally to wear with co loured skirts, in place of the white bodies now used for that purpose. Toilettes de ville will be generally made with plain bodies, having two points in front, and a small plaited;basque at the back. These dresses are generally made with loose bodies and pelerines, either square or open in front, and crossed at the waist. With this make, round bands and buckles or sashes aro worn, according to the fancy of the wearer. uY w e see many flounces, but they are seldom except for was hi n g materials, being generally put on in plaits with a heading. When one wide flounce is worn, the skirt itself is scolloped in long, not deep, waves, and the flounce is mounted on these indentations. A ruche do toupee is placed at top and bottom of the flounce. When several narrow flounces are worn, they are generally placed straight round the bottom of the skirt, and up one side of the front to the waist, The last style of trimming dresses with flounces is to put thorn on in deep scollops, with a trimming under each wave. We have seen one dress with a flounce put on in an en tirely novel style. It was a violet gaze d o soie over si lk of the same colour. The flounce, which w as about 3 i nc h es wide, was put on with four small box-Plaits and one large one alternately; in the centre of the wide plait was a black lace vine-leaf. Square corsages. and those open en col cceur, will con the former. B e i ng so difficult con tinue fashionable, especially to cut and fit well, they should only be entrusted to a clever dressmaker, as, if cut too high or too low off the shoulders they entirely lose their cachet, and have an unbecoming effect. There is little or to alteration in the shape of the sleeve now worn ; they aro all small, and mostly have seams at back and front. They are rarely accompanied by jockeys of the same; but have generally epaullettes of lace or pas sementerie. It is not improbable that quite tight sleeves will be worn in the winter. Linen cuffs aro worn very deep, and fastened with linen, buttons, for the morning. For toilette plus habillee, these cuffs are trimmed round with goffered frills of lace or cam bric, and arc attached by fancy studs. There is no sensible alteration in the form of mantle for next month; paletots, collets, or casaques being still worn, without any great difference of shape or style, excepting that they are a little shorter. Shawls are now worn by the Parisian ladies, fastened at the throat by a brooch, and not hanging loosely on the shoulders, as formerly. There seems no danger of bonnets resuming their high and pointed form ; they are still narrow at the sides, but flatter on the top than formerly, and do not come so far on the l im a. _ _ Caps are mostly made of black and white lace, with a loose crown, and generally have a Marie Stuart point in front. Fancy aprons are likely to become very fashionable for home wear; they will be quite small, and gathered or plaited into a very narrow compass at the waist. Among the toilettes we have seen, we select the follow ing for description: — The first was a bridal dress. An under skirt of rich white silk, with chicoree ruche of the same round the bot tom. Over this was a sort of white gaze do soie, with flounce of English lace reaching to the top of the ruche on the under-skirt ; above this flounce, which was about 12 inches deep, were three rows of festooned and and inter laced ruches of gaze do soie.

Upon examination it appeared that one of the letters contained some detonating composition. Though Mrs. Manley was more frightened than hurt, the facts were made known to the Postmaster- General, to whom the name of the sender of the letter was communicated.
