Taffetas noires, pekins foutanges, popelines, India muslins, toiles de Nankin of silk, taffetas chines with wide stripes, glaces silks checked or striped, intermixed with bouquets broches, foulards de lain, pekins de rois, are all fw hi3nable materials at this moment ; many plain and glace silks are embroidered an passe; commencing at the bottom of the skirt, and diminishing gradually to the corsage. Slighter materials are trimmed with several rows of flounces, the corsages full, and demi-large sleeves. For redingotes fancy buttons, or mends of ribbon, or of the same material, are th 3 only trimmings used. They are sometimes embroidered with narrow gimp. Foulards are much used for peignoirs, ornamented with dentelle de soie, the cok ur of the dress. Velvet will continue in favour to ornament dresses, as well as fringes and gimps of every variety ; flounces are indispensable for full dress ; lively bright colours are fashionable. Tight bodies have the backs forming rounded point at the waist, but not in front for redingotes, which finish with ceinture and buckle ; the ceinture cannot take the form of the point behind, and therefore only commences at the sides, not being seen at all behind. Muslin dresses of the redingote form are ornamented with tulle and lace; the corsages high and full, as well as the sleeves, which have coulisses from top to bottom, placed a little apart. The mante marquise, and the mantelet Andalouse will be the IT dessus most in favour this season. The mante marquise partakes a little of the visite, but is larger and fuller, without being so heavy ; there are three different styles of trimming. For demi-toilette the frills are the same material, that is, of taffetas plain or glace of dark colour, with or without gimp. When required handsomer, they are Tnbroidered:all over, as well_ as on the frills. Still handsomer are those trimmed with two frills of lace, the lower one very deep, headed by about a third the width of the first. The mantelets for demi-toilette are of plain dark taffetas, trimmed with the same material; the form will vary but little from those of preceding years, but they are shorter in front. Black is less worn for all,pardessus this season ; pale colours glactles are preferred. They spring bonnets and capotes are still more open in form : the crowns round, and .the fronts .not very deep ; lilac, pink, light green are the favourite colours. Flowers are the usual ornaments, or foliage.

He entered his solemn protest against extending to the south of Ire land the tenant right of Ulster. The whole south of Ire land was a mass of bad cultivation and bad management. He moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. 11 , 1 i. MONAGHAN requested Mr S. Crawford, as the Secretary for Ireland and other influential members of the Government were unavoidably absent, to allow the debate to be adjourned for the present. After some discussion, Mr. S. CRAWFORD reluctantly assented to the adjournment of it until the following Wednesday (to-morrow.)

Mr. HUME opposed, and Lord G. BENTINCE supported, the motion ; after which the committee divided, when the grant was carried by a majority of 133, the numbers being 208 to 75. COURT AND FASHION. It is expected that her Majesty and the Prince Consort, accompanied by the Royal family, will pay a visit in a few days to Osborne House, previously to the full dress ball to be given by the Queen at Buckingham Palace on the 14th inst. The Queen gave a juvenile party on Monday afternoon, at Buckingham Palace, in celebration of the birthday of the Princess Alice. The Queen Dowager and the Duchess of Kent were present on the occasion ; and numbers of the nobility and gentry accompanied by the juvenile mem bers of their respective families. Sunday week was the anniversary of the birth of the Princess Alice, third child of her Majesty, born 25th April, 1843 ; also of the Duchess of Gloucester, born 25th April, 1776. - The Earl of Sefton has left Croxteth for London, for The Earl of Portarlington is shortly to be married to Lady Alexandrina Vane, daughter of the Marquis of Lon donderry.

RAILWAY AFFAIRS. hat ob- ho con iaa lent .ng the .?s had The Hereford and Monmouth Railway (the firs . in Herefordshire) has been commenced. it railway The line of railway extending from Cockermouth to the sea port town of Workington, was opened on Tuesday last, for the conveyance of passengers and general traffic. The line passes through a beautiful and fertile range of country, watered by the river Derwent, and lovely valleys and hilly slopes attract the eye on either side. It is eight miles in length, and there are two regular stations upon it, at Camerton and Brigham. RAILWAY RETURNS.—From official returns it appears that the amount of traffic for tha last week, on upwards of 2,730 miles of railway, was £161,735, thus accounted for: £84,223 for the conveyance of passengers only, £42,083 for the carriage of goods, and a remainder of £35,432 for passengers and goods together, not respectively appor tioned; being an increase of £22,748 over the correspond ing week of last year, when the mileage was about 1,990. LIVERPOOL, ORMSKIRIC, AND PRESTON RAILWAY.— A number of men have, for the last three or four weeks, been employed upon the portion of the above line which runs through Rufford, raising the embankments. On Monday they struck work, some for wages, and all finding fault with the pay-days, which the sub-contractors wished to be only once a month. Most of them, however, were induced to commence work again on Tuesday. THE SOUTH EASTERN AND BRIGHTON MID-KENT RAILWAY SCHEMES.—The Commitiee of the House of Commons, appointed to try the merits of these schemes, has concluded its labours. The chairman, Mr. W. 0. Stanley, delivered the decision of the committee. It was in favour of the S suth-Eastern North Kent Continuation to Canterbury and the South-Eastern Mid-Kent Lines. The committee rejected the proposed new Croydon line. The Brighton lines are all rejected. THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—A special train, consisting of five carriages, was taken from London to Birmingham on Wednesday morning, in two hours and thirty minutes. The actual time of travelling did not exceed two hours, being an average speed of 56 miles per hour, the train being stopped four times on the journey to allow other trains to get clear of the line, be side.

Webster, in answer to the chair man, stated that the Bootle Company were willing to make it compulsory upon the Corporation to buy ; the price to be fixed by arbitration. Mr. Paget, on the part of the . Corporation, assented, and a clause was subse sequently agreed to between the parties. After another long argument, the room was cleared to enable the com mittee to consider as to the Harrington works, and they irchase of these works should he tend. upon the principle agreed to by that company in the last session by arbitration, it being understood that the arbi trators should be required to consider the case as if the present bill had not passed into law. On Wednesday, the committee assembled again, at the usual hour, and a long discussion again took place on the c l auses t o be inserted for the sale and purchase of the Harrington company. Eventually the parties were requested to re-consider them in the course of the. evening. In the meantime, the counsel for both the existing water companies not to have their case prejudiced. Dr. Lyon Playfair, Professor Ansted, Inspector Fresh, and two well-sinkers, Mr. John May and Mr. John Anderson, were the only witnesses examined. The evidence of the two first was of a scientific character, and it went to show the excellent quality of the water, the abundance of supply, and the improbability of a sufficient quantity being obtained from wells, or, if it could, of its quality being suited to domes tic consumption. THURSDAY William Brown, gardener to Robertson Gladstone, Esq., at Olive Mount, stated that the well originally sunk on the premises went partially dry in June, 1845, that on deepening it a sufficient quantity was obtained, but it afterwards became dry altogether, owing to the sinking of the wells in Green-lane, a distance of about 2650 yards. Mr. Wainwright, plumber, Much Woolton, proved that the water in the district had been diminished by the same wells, though distant five miles. It was also proved that Walton had suffered from the same cause—three miles off. Other places had also found a similar defalcation, Sir H. De La Beche doubted whether a sufficient sup ply for Liverpool could be obtained from the red sand stone : besides, what could be got would hp hftrd the quantity of magnesia and Erne: He would not mend such wells to be sunk. The water from the district proposed by the bill would be superior in purity to that of the wells. llard water was not tit for large towns, if better could be obtained from a distance Hawkesky was examined, and gave the same evi dence as on the preliminary enquiry. The pipes from -ton would furnish twenty million gallons per day ; cne delivery would generally be sixteen millions per day, which Would give double the present population of ;enerally higher than tliey •e a month table to the Lci yarns, and f stocks.

The colonial, and especially the East India interest, is suffering very severely from the difficulty in getting the usual advances ; and unless some material relief arrives soon, the most serious consequences are ap prehended. The bank accounts this week will look better. The reserve of notes will be rather larger ; while, how ever, there will be a small reduction of bullion. The go vernment will do nothing at present, and Sir Robert Peel will appear to-night, to vindicate his bill. They express the greatest confidence that it is sound, and will work through the crisis." The Times of Thursday says, " Although the pressure for money has assumed a less feverish character, there is not much apparent mitigation of its intensity, and for long-dated paper the rates still reported are severe. From the provinces also similar accounts continue to be received, and on first-class railway shares 84 per cent is stated to be currently given. At Manchester the present state of affairs has led to a modification in the mode of doing business, the large American commission houses having given notice to the manufacturers from whom they have been in the habit of buying, that instead of paying cash as heretofore, and receiving 14 discount, they will avail avail themselves of the three months credit to which they are entitled, by giving bills at that date, except in cases where the manufacturers may be disposed to increase the discount to 2 per cent, (equivalent to 8 per cent per an. num), and it may prove convenient to take advantage of that allowance." A. deputation of gentlemen from Liverpool and 141 r: ester had on Friday, as we learn, an interview with city of money It is understood as the result, that Go vernment, through the Bank of England, undertake to do all they can for the relief of the manufacturing and trading interests generally during the prevailing pressure, and the deputation returned much more satisfied.
