NoLo EPISCOPARI.—The Rev. John Graham, Master of Christ's College, Cambridge, who has decline, the Bishopric of Sodor and Man, is a native of the city of Durham, and was formerly a King's Scholar of Durham School. His parents were in comparatively humble cir cumstances, and Dr. Graham has risen to his present dignified eminence solely by his own talent and unwearied painstaking for the advancement of true religion. He possesses a warm, affectionate heart—his whole life has been characterised by acts of the most unobtrusive piety— and his disposition is amiable almost to a fault. We have no doubt his reluctance to accept a seat on the epis copal bench arises from a purely conscientious distrust (though no one who knows him well will be of the same opinion) as to his proper discharge of the solemn respon sibilities of that sacred office. CHURCH PASTORAL-AID SOCIETY.—At the meeting of the general committee, on the sth inst., three new grants were made for additional curates; three in aid of the in comes of incumbents of new districts, with endowments from £45 to £56; one towards the stipend of a chaplain for the labourers on the Melton and Stamford Railway ; four for lay assistants, one of whom is appointed to labour among the men employed on the Reading and Newbury Railway ; and two small grants towards the fitting up of rooms to be licensed for public worship in populous districts. The twelve grants amounted to £586. At the same meeting twenty-two grants for curates, and two for lay assistants were renewed, amounting to £2007. The society now aids 316 incumbents, having under their ministerial charge a population of 2,197,000; or each, on an average, 6895 souls. The average amount of the in comes of these incumbents is only £l9B, and one hundred and sixty of them are without a parsonage-house. The existing grants provide stipends for 30l clergymen and 72 lay assistants, calling for an expenditure of £33,150, when all these grants shall be in operation ; 235 clergy men and 65 lay assistants now engag ed in teir import ant labours, are supported by this society, at an expense estimated at £26,865 per annum. The a, plications before the committee have increased to thirty• seven, twenty five of which are for stipends for clergymen, and twelve for lay assistants, calling for a further sum of £2490 per annum to provide the requisite stipends. 1 upon ascer n further in- r mother and it was adjourned THE COURT 4 FASHIONABLE WORLD FASHIONS FOR NOVEMBER. (From the "London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.") Gauzes Constantine, Aixa faronnes, Siam crapes, Mousseline* Luisa Fernanda barcsYes Haydeee, with organdy:, tulles, &c., are the fashionable materials of full dress ; for walking and nPoligcc plaids of every dimension, checked foulards, taffetas chin is rota stripes or waves ; taffetas mauves shot wit h lilac, green ffetas shot with a different tint of the same colour, and pe'le'rines of two contrasting colours, are all much worn. In silk materials the corsages ara frequently made with the corsage open in front, having collar and revers turned back and con fined by brandtnbourgs and tassels, which reach to the bottom of the skirt. Negligi dresses are without point, and when they close behind have narrow ceintures and buckles ; they may also have revers from the shoulder to the waist. and ladies wishing to wear high corsages in evening dress, have the revers covered with lace. Fur at this season is used to ornament dresses as much as for out-door costume. Chinchilla and sables are the most fashionable furs this season. Mantelets and vigites of Chinchilla are very elegant. Manteaux, mantelets, cha telaines, visites, pardessus, are all now in request with the newest styles, the rouliere, the Garrick, Manteau Grec, Infanta, and Moorish. The bonnets most approved have the forms a little spread, and rather deep at the ears, forming a circle round the face and hair. Black velvet bonnets are almost confined to the promenade. 'The more elegant ones are of plain coloured velvets; many of emerald green are lined with a lighter shade of green. All shades of gray are fashionable, with ornaments in cerise colour : . Ca poles a coulisses of satin are trim med with velours eptngli. Ostrich feathers are much worn, but not long, merely the tips. Coloured lace is also used correspondtng to the colour of the bonnet, a fauchon of velvet, the same as the bonnet, edged with black or white lace is pretty on nep/igecbonnets. Capotes of satin are ornamented with biais of velvet ; dark bonnets are often lined with pale colours. Caps of the Pompadour style, the Genevieve, the Marguerite. the Fauchon are fashionable. Hats of satin, and velvet, and historical coiffures are in favour ; pretty little coiffures, merely ornamenting the top of the head are made of gold ribbon and black lace. The most novel style are the pointes, or half squares, biais de fiche'es of application lace, &c.,. intended to imitate the coiffures of the age of Marie Steuart. They are also used for bonnets of either satin or velvet, covering the crown, the corners uniting by a bunch of flowers, or nceuds of ribbon.
