THE MURDER AT WALWORTH.

LATEST PARTICULARS.
The bodies of the four murdered persons are lying at
the Newington Workhouse, awaiting the inquest, which
Mr. Carter bas fixed for this morning.
Manor-place, where the murders were committed,
was the scene of much curiosity yesterday morning,
many hundreds of persons having flocked to the house
its which Youngman resided. It has been carefully
guarded by the police.

All sorts of rumours are afloat as to the state of mind
of the prisoner; upon which point some evidence will
be forthcoming, when the prisoner is again placed before
the magistrates. The medical men who have up to the
present time examined him, seem to be of opinion that
he is in full possession of his intellect.
Some surprise has been occasioned by the fact that
the surgeon who was called in was not examined. His
evidence, however, will be taken by the coroner this
day. It is understood also that the father will be
examined, with a view to show on what terms the
prisoner was with the other members of his family.

FASHIONS FOR AUGUST.
(From Le Folk!.)

The unseasonable character of the weather has almost
entirely prevented the adoption of those light and ele-
gant toilettes prepared in anticipation of warm days and
sunny skies. Hence the fashion (which we hoped was
but for a day) of large silk paletots, or burnous with
sleeves, is still almost universally fellowed, and we can
scarcely wonder, under the circumstances, that appear-
ance is less studied than comfort. We cannot, however,
help regretting that the pretty muslin mantles, em-
broidered with so much skill and taste, or those of
Chantilly, so rich and elegant, with the grenadine
shawls, so light and harmonious in colour, that all
these charming and graceful novelties should be doomed
to remain in their boxes, and to give place to the
winterly-looking garments already named, or shawls of
black cachemire, embroidered in silk or jet, and trimmed
with lace.

For the same reason silks, poplins, poil de chevre, and
fancy materials in wool and silk, have taken the place
of lighter tissues.
A novelty in silk, which, however, we do not much
admire, is to make down each side of the breadth a light
pattern, or several rows of stripes, differing in width
and contrasting in colour with the ground, which is
either grey or drab. These breadths dewed stripe to
stripe, divide the skirt into six or more equal parts,
which has, of course, a stiff appearance.
No doubt, in imitation of this style, each breadth of
a silk dress is sometimes embroidered along the sel-
vage in large scallops, with silk of a different colour on
each breadth, trimmed down with a narrow frill, scal-
loped at the edge.
Amongst the different ways of placing the flounces,
those which have prevailed are the number of narrow
ones, edged, reaching to the waist, or one deep flounce,
very full, reaching to the knee. and surmounted with
three, five, or even seven exceedingly narrow ones ; or
seven or eleven very narrow flounces, edged, and reaching
to the knee, over which is worn a 'casaque the same as
the dress, and trimmed with a flounce and heading, or
three flounces, with ruches of the same on the edge.
Nothing can be more distingue than this style of dress.
The wide bouillonnes of the same material as the
dress, generally replace the plisses a la vieille arranged
in the same manner, hut now, considered passe.
The Zouave jacket is still in favour for home dress.
It is more frequently braided with silk than gold, and
worn with a full chemisette.

The square muslin shawls are generally trimmed
round the lower point with a wide flounce of embroidered
muslin, whilst the upper point., which is turned over to
reach only to the waist, is simply scalloped and embroi-
dered in a small wreath. A few plaits at the shoulders
prevent their rising to the throat, and give them more
elegance. In the same style shawls of the same material
as the dress are made, either barege, grenadine, or
printed muslins ; a wide frill on the lower point, and
the upper simply scalloped.
For the benefit of those of our fair readers who may
he expecting soon to take their place at the Hymeneal
altar, we will describe an elegant, and becoming wedding
dress, Worn by the Princess of Polignac. The wealthy
and elegant bride had on a rich dress of moire, quite
plain in the skirt, but with a long train. High body,
buttoned in front with fine pearls. An English lace
collar, fastened at the throat by a diamond brooch.
The bouquet of orange blossom fastened at the waist.
The coiffure was a diadem of white lilac and roses. The
hair fastened behind under a rich comb of diamonds.
An immense veil of English lace thrown over the head,
and falling nearly to the bottom of the dress, completed
this distingue toilette.
The newest styles for grenadines, gaze de Smyrna, or
Chamherg, printed minims, or mousselines de soie. are
either Pompadour bouquets or wreaths, or large checks
on a plain white or spotted ground. Plain skirts are
worn to these dresses, but a wide flounce with a ruche,
or even three ruches, edged with lace, is much more
elegant and distingue ; and with a low body and lace
pelerine forms a charming toilette. These may also be
trimmed with seven narrow flounces, edged with plain
silk, giving a consistency to the flounces, and helping to
keep them smooth.
Pointed bodies are scarcely now seen. Sashes or
bands are now universally worn. The sash with light
materials, the band with rich fastenings, is almost exclu-
sively worn with silk or moire dresses.
Large open sleeves are still the favoarttee ; they are
made very wide, cut square, and often open all the
length of the arm. When an epaulette is worn, it
should be trimmed, as well as the bottom of the sleeve,
'to match the flounces or trimming on the skirt.
Under sleeves are worn fuller than ever, and are
made with one large puff, with insertion or ruches up
the seam, or several puffs, one over the other, ending in
a deep fall of lace.
Bonnets are still made with the frents projecting for-
ward at the top, but not in a point. The curtains, not
en wide as they were, and put on in large hollow plaits.
For demi-toilette straw, black or white crinoline are
worn: bat for more dressy bonnets, rice straw and crape
are the most fashionable. This year there are some
charming colours in crape, amongst which China blue,
groseille des Alpes, peach blossom, rose Solferino, are
the shades chiefly in vogue. The rage for gold trim-
ming is beginning to pass, and the most distingue bon-
nets are ornamented with feathers or flowers.

Rice straws are nearly always made with soft crape
crowns covered with lace, and a mixture of lace and
flowers on the front.
Legborns are less fancifully trimmed, having merely
a plume of feathers or a bouquet of flowers at the side.
Inside the bonnet has always much trimming, and a
bandeau. The coloured ruches and coronets of flowers
which were worn at the commencement of the season,
have been given up and replaced by sides of blonde or
tulle illusion, with a bandeau of flowers or foliage. The
strings are worn very long and wide.
Some ladies have adopted a novel style of placing the
plume on the outside of their bonnets—it is fastened
nearly at the top of the front, and taken straight across,
falling upon the curtain, but although quite new, it can
scarcely be considered graceful.
Hats just now demand a good deal of attention. The
Amazon is, perhaps, the most becoming shape. We will
describe two or three.
The first is of black straw, spotted with straw-colour,
bordered with black velvet, and has a long coque feather,
also dotted with straw spots, and fastened in front under-
neath a rosette of black velvet. A guipure veil is worn
with it, which shades the face and neck.
The second, the same shape as the former, is of rice
straw, bordered with corn-flower-blue velvet, ornamented
with pheasant's feathers, fastened in at front under a
bouquet of blue and white feathers, from which hangs a
sort. of pendant—a long scarf or lappet of black lace.
The head-dresses for summer wear have less preten-
sion about them than -those of the winter. Without,
gold, without precious stones, and generally in tufts or
bouquets, carelessly placed, instead of the large wreaths
formerly in vogue. Caprice and apparent negligence
seem to be the type of the present coiffures. They place
a little bouquet in front, another amongst the hair flow-
ers and bows intermingled at the back. This kind of
head-dress is very easily made.

Milton-street, sustained a severe contused back by a
