THE ROAD MURDER.

A new turn has been given to this case by the arrest
of Elizabeth Gough, who, at the time of the murder of
Francis Saville Kent, was the nursemaid who slept in
the same room with the unfortunate child, and who will
be placed at the bar at TroWbridge for examination.
The circumstances which have led to her arrest are as
follow :—Mr. Slack, the solicitor, of Bath, who, under
the sanction of the Home Secretary, and at the request
of the Wiltshire magistrates, has been prosecuting
an investigation into the circumstances of this myste-
rious murder, having completed his enquiries, for-
warded the depositions of the various witnesses to
the Attorney-General. That learned functionary, having
given them an attentive perusal, appointed Wednesday
last for a consultation, which was attended by Mr. T. W.
Saunders, of the Western Circuit, and Mr. Sink. The
result of the conference was that an opinion was signed
jointly by the Attorney-General and Mr. Saunders, to
the effect that there were sufficient prima facie grounds
for issuing a warrant for the apprehension of Elizabeth
Gough, and that the interests of public justice required
that a public examination should be instituted. On
the following day Mr. Slack had an interview with
Messrs. Ludlow, W. Stancombe, W. R. Stancombe,
and the other magistrates of the division, who have
bad the conduct of the case from the commencement,
and, having laid before them the opinion of the Attor-
ney-General and Mr. Saunders, a warrant. wae issued
for the apprehension of Elizabeth Gough, the execution
of which was entrusted to Mr. Superintendent Wolfe,
by whom Elizabeth Gough was taken into custody and
brought to Devizes on Friday. It has not yet trans-
pired whether the prisoner is charged as principal or
accomplice in the murder, or as an accessory after the
fact. This will, of course, be shortly made known,
when she will be brought up for examination. ,
At the request of the magistrates of the division, Sir
John W. Awdry, chairman of the Wilts Quarter Ses-
sions, who has had great experience in criminal
inquiries both in this country and in India, will
preside.
Mr. T. W. Saunders (instructed by Mr. Slack) will
conduct the case on behalf of the Crown; Mr. Edlin, of
the Western Circuit (instructed by Mr. Dunn, of Frome),
will watch the proceedings for Mr. Kent and his family,
and it is expected that the accused will have the benefit
of the professional services of an eminent solicitor. The
inquiry is expected to last at least three days. There
are about 20 witnesses for examination, the evidence of
the majority of whom will be made public for the first
time.

FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER.

(From Le Follet)

The redingote form of dress will inaugurate the season,
and can be worn either with a pointed or a round body.
Of course, with the latter, the skirt must be set in large
plaits.
Flounces will -be the ornament mostly used on silk
dresses; either several narrow ones to the knee, or one
large, surmounted by narrower ones, or by a trimming.
Passementerie, which has so long played an important
,part in toilettes, will continue so to do; it is much em-
ployed both for robes and mantelets.
The naletot is the form of mantle most used, and is
made either in light cloth or silk. The burnous is still
worn with either a round or a square hood, though our
elegantes seem to prefer the capuchon vieille femme, on
account of its being more becoming to the fig,nre. Both
paletots and burnous are generally trimmed all round
with some opposite colour.
It is as yet too early to speak of Cashmere shawls.
Llamas are much in vogue on account of.their lightness
and elegance.
A form of ileglige has lately made its appearance, and
has created a great sensation. It is a species of peignoir,
with large plaits at the waist, and is accompanied by a
small pointed heod, finished by a bow of ribbon. They
are generally made in Cashmere, but of course any
other material more or less costly maybe used.

In the country dresses arc worn slightly looped up,
so as to take the skirt off the ground. Underneath is
worn a coloured petticoat, either black and white, or
black and gray. No staring colours are allowable.
The tight sleeves, which have been laid on one sick*
during the summer season, have again made their
appearance. Nothing is at present considered so
thoroughly distingue as extreme simplicity. Dresses,
mantles, bonnets—everything, as unpretending as pos-
sible. This luxurious simplicity is the best criticism of
taste and style, for the various articles must be well
made, and worn with elegance and taste, or they make
both wearer and clothes appear common, while, on the
other hand, if bien faites and bien portes, they give an
aristocratic cachet, which cannot be obtained by any
other means.

For evening dress tartalane and Chambery gauze are
much worn, generally with a foule of narrow flounces.
With white the ornaments are generally of some light
colour, such as pink, pale blue, or apple green.
The skirts of ball dresses are made with a train, and
expanding like the tail of a peacock. The trimming is
very varied; it is rare, however, to see any reach above
the knee. Narrow flounces, perhaps, form the most
general style. In light materials the robe is as wide at
the top of the skirt as at the bottom, while in other arti-
cles it is frequently made on points, and quite flat at
front and on the hips. It is not probable that this fancy
will be lasting.
Bouillons form one of the favourite trimmings for

light dresses, as also on robes for evening wear.
Long paletots, demi ajustes, with a collar and wide
sleeves, are considered the most fashionable. Some are
made in a mixture of cotton and wool, and with pockets,
have a smart appearance. Grey, trimmed with a ribbon,
and with large buttons of the same colour, is a favourite.
Those in black taffetas are more dressy. They are
either plain, or finished with a guipure passementerie,
or a choux of ribbon. We have noticed some with an
insertion of guipure all round, and a white ribbon
passed under it. The fronts and seams were stitched
with white. The contrast is rather violent, and to some
tastes may not be acceptable. • Its originality is, perhaps,
its principal recommendation.
Zouave pickets will, most probably be in vogue this
winter. their smart appearance and great convenience
are strong recommendations in their favour. They will
be slightly wadded.
The loose style of dress introduced by the paletot will
no doubt prevail, more or less, for sonic time. It will
be difficult to find a substitute possessing equal advan-
tages. •

`A. tarlatan dress; the invention of one of our leading
dressmakers, has caused so 'much excitement, that a de-
scription will not be uninteresting to our fair readers.
It was trimmed With very narrow flounces, which
reached., a little above the knee, trimmed with a ruche of
tulle illusion, and the top flounce headed with a ruche
of larger dimensions than those on the other flounces.
The ceinture. of the same material as the dress, with
long ends, and trimmed with the same description of
ruches, formed a kind of scarf. The sleeves and body
were covered with ruches of the same character we have
already described. A single rose, with light foliage
placed on one side of the head, is the most appropriate
coiffure which could be found to suite so fairy-like a
dress.
There is a tendency to wear dresses open at front,
they arc even now occasionally seen. They will no
longer be worn so closed. s It is expected that revers
will be fashionable. Embroidered gmmpes in muslin,
and a moderate sized collar, are worn with these dresses.
Some are also made in Valenciennes with insertion.
Cages are much diminished in circumference, some
are almost flat at the top, increasing downwards, which
imparts a very ungraceful appearance to the figure.
As a rule, paletota in silk take the lead, and burnous

predominate in wool. Each has its advantages on
certain occasions, and in its turn is better adapted flay
particular use.

MUSICAL, DRAMATIC, LITERARY, AND
ARTISTIC NEWS AND GOSSIP.
On Monday (this day) Miss Pyne and Mr. Harrison
commence the winter season at Covent-garden with
" Lurline." Madame Celeste is also about to open the
Lyceum with a novelty from the pen of Mr. Torn
Taylor, entitled " The Brigand and His Banker."
The Theatre-Royal, at Melbourne (Australia), is
now regularly used on Sunday evenings for religious
services. The clergy of the Episcopal, Independent,
Presbyterian and other denominations have preached
id terns, and the services, as in London, have been.
crowded.
Mr. Trig= has already made several engagements
for the Saint James's. Among his company are Mr.
Emery, Miss Herbert, and Miss Kate Terry. Mr.
Fechter goes to the Princess's, and makes his first,
appearance in the English language ; and Mr. John
Brougham, the Columbian Irishman, appears at the
Haymarket in a comedy of his own writing.
Miss Clara Seyton, says the Era, has entered into the
matrimonial state, and is now Mrs. Vaughan.
The room in which the late Mr. Albert Smith gave
his " Mont Blanc" entertainment has been thoroughly
redecorated, and will be epened this day (Monday) with
a series of panoramic views, forming an entertainment
called " Hamilton's Excursions to the Continent and
Back." During the two hours occupied by the dioramie
tour the visitor is taken to Italy, France, Austria,
Russia, Prussia, Switzerland, and the Rhine, and the
description of the views will be given by Mr. Leicester
Buckingham.
The amateur actors of the Savage Club have per-
severed in their labour of love to get together some pro-
vision for the family of the late Robert B. Brough.
Judging that the great success of their efforts in Liver-
pool and Manchester and the large unsatisfied demand
ter tickets at both those places, warranted a repetition
of the experiment, they have given two supplementary
performances there. At both places the success has been
very great, and the result a very large sum to the fund.
The lighting of the Royal Lyceum Theatre has been
entrusted to the well-known firm of J. Depies and Sons,
who have carried it out with very great success. The
17 crystal chandeliers all around the theatre are of richly
cut massive crystal. The arms and pans are also very
richly cut. Above the tent is formed eight beautiful
tassels, which on the whole form one massive piece of
cut crystal, adding much to the beauty of the theatre.
Mr. Horace Mayhew, says the Critic, has returned
from a pleasure trip to Canada and the United States,
and the reading world will probably have the result of
his impressions in the shape of a small book.
It has 'been arranged that the fund raised for the
benefit of Mrs. Thomson, daughter of the poet Burns,
should .be invested so that she may receive £l5 half
yearly.
New currency is being given to a rumour which dates
from the death of Lord Macaulay, leaving his history
unfinished, that Mr. Thackeray has in contemplation a
maguunt opus—a history of that Anna Augusta whom,
Dr. Johnson remembered as a " stately lady in black
velvet and diamonds," and who touched him for the evil.
A new picture gallery, 200 feet by 35 feet, is being
erected on Broadway, near St. Thomas's Church, New
York. A collection of paintings from Dusseldorf and
elsewhere will be placed in it.
The Autumn Session of the Female School of Art,
late of. Gower-street, now of Queen-square, Bloomsbury
—where,' in Government despite, it finds a roof over its
head--will open on Ist October.
The only additions made to the National Portrait
Gallery during the recess are an excellent portrait of
Cecil, Earl of Salisbury, the " little beagle" of James
the First; and a very curious full length of the
" British Solomon" seated in the robes of the Garter.
Alterations have been made in the position of several of
the pictures, so as to enable visitors to examine more
favourably those portraits which had hitherto been hung
furthest from view. The Gallery will re-open to the
public without necessity of tickets as hitherto. During
the winter months it will close at four o'clock.

THE COSTLINESS OF PROVING INNOCENCE.—The
Rev. Mr. Hatch in a recent statement to the public press
states, that upwards of £7OO was expended in the pro-
ceedings which established his innocence of the offence
fur which he had been convicted. This sum was
exhausted in fees, counsel, and witnesses, quite indepen-
dent of any lawyers' bill ; for, (he says), his attorney,
Mr. Holt, of Bruklesbury, volunteered to take up the
case, and gave his services gratuitously, else another
£7OO would have been wanted and justice been defeated

sores, and all skin diseases originating in impure or woak
blood, or depraved secretions, the joint agency of Holloway's
Pills and Ointment is perfectly irresistible. It is of little con-
sequence how long these disorders may have lasted, or how
sluggish, obstinate, or malignant they may seem, the daily
application of the Ointment to the parts affected, and a course
of these matchless Pills, will most certainly effect a cure, not
temporary or superficial, but complete and permanent. Both
the Ointment and Pills are composed of rare balsams, unmixed
with mercury or any other deleterious substance. They are,
accordingly, as mild and safe as they are powerful and
efficacious.

NEW INVENTION.—ThE NEW FOUNTAIN Pax.---A greater
annoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with—the
difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the recent improve-
ments the new " fountain pen," just introduced by Rudhall
and Co. is the best we have ever seen. By a simple but effec-
tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of
a second inverted barrel, above the writingnib, and this barrel
can be taken out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfectly
clean without ant- chance of being corroded. Another feature
in this pen is, that one dip in the ink will last for five minutes'
quick writing. The pen itself is of the finest description, and
in merchants' offices, banks, and indeed in every place, it will
be found to fill a want felt by every one up to this time. We
have tried this splendid pen, handed to us by Mr. E. T. Hall,
South John-street, and can pronounce it perfect, and we are
sure all who use it will give a full verdict in its favour.
We quote a few more of the extraordinary cures, without
