hundred guineas, and nearly the same value of lace, is fre-
quently hung about the fair see, who occasionally descend
from their carriage, and perform a very mild amount of
walking on the pathway.

(From Lt Pallet.)

BERLIN, Frs. 26.

Notwithstanding the evasions of Herr von Bis-
marck there can be no doubt that the convention
between Prussia and Russia, whether ratified or
not, is being practically carried out by the former.
Four instances have already occurred of the inter-
vention of Prussian troops in the struggle now
going on in Russian Poland. The first was the
equipment of a Russian detachment which had
escaped into Silesia, and its march back to the
Russian frontier under the protection of Prussian
soldiers ; the second, the entrance of Prussian
troops into Janow, a town in the kingdom of
Poland opposite Vidborg ; the third, the affair
of Chorselow, also in Russian Poland, where the
Prussian soldiery actually arrested mOt of the in-
habitants, and took them through Prumian terri-
tory into Lomas, another Polish town ; and
the fourth, the most recent, the occupation during
eight hours by the Prussians of Dobrzyn, in the
government of Plock, in consequence of a rumour
that the insurgents were approaching that city.
Here are four successive and unmistakeable acts on
the part of Prussia which prove that she is delibe-
rately violating the principle of non-intervention ;
and it is, after all, not so much the convention as
the prospect of its fulfilment which arouses the
indignation of Europe and the Prussian people.
The last news from Poland gives additional testi-
mony to the national character of the insurrection.
111-armed, and consisting for the most part of inex-
perienced youths, often under leaders equally
mexperienced, the insurgents have yet shown
themselves capable of making head against
disciplined'and fully equipped soldiers, who seem
to be panic-stricken before the dashing charges
of these heroic scythemen, and to be only able to
retaliate on helpless towns and villages for the
many defeats they suffer at their hands. The pea-
santry are nearly everywhere favourable to the in-
surgent', and in some cases have even entered
their ranks ; the clergy are notoriously on their side,
and the landowners either join or support them.
They are in all parts of Russian Poland, from
Lithuania on the north, to Volhynia and Podolia on
the south-east. Beyond this, however, little is
known as to the progress of the insurrection in these
boundary provinces of Poland. The bands in Lith-
uania seem to be very large and powerful, and are
chiefly in the vicinity of Bialystock and Grodno,
and in the sub-district of Zmudz.

Among the various fashionable materials, Indian
foulard is at present much in request ; and will, no doubt.
be as great • favourite as it was during the autumn. It is
manufactured in different colours and designs, suitable to
the period of the day when it is intended to be worn.
For ineleace, made up for walking dresses, for evening
wear, or for "at home" soirees, both colours sad patterns
are selected to suit the occasion, and so as to produce the
best effect. Black, brown, or violet grounds, with white
or coloured spots, flowers, or small designs, are in good
taste for the morning ; or in • ground the colour of
Russian leather; or in iron-grey, with flowers in various
colours, among which violet or red predominates. An
expellent assortment of this fabric is offered for evening
wear, in white, pink, blue, or violet. A white ground,
with pompadour flowers, or with very narrow stripes, in
• beautiful shade of Sines blue, hoe • charming appear-
ance. This article, in some of the lighter colours we have
named, is especially adapted for young ladies. This ma-
terial is generally trimmed with white or blue taffetas, a
narrow flounce, headed with a ruche, being placed at the
bottom of the skirt. With thia dress is worn a long wide
sub, also edged with ruche, and tied behind.
Sleeves are made small and open, either open or closed
down the front seam at the choice of the waster. Jockeys
and revers are no longer worn. The sleeves are trimmed
to oorreepood with the skirt, or, where this is not prac-
ticable, small ruches or insertions are the ornament.; em•
ployed. In the richer materials the sleeves are left open
to the elbow, and accompanied by under ones, trimmed with
wide lace falling through the opening.
For morning wear, deep linen cuffs, fastened with three
buttons, either gold or precious stones, are the most
fashionable. For more dressy wear, the cuffs are made in
the same shape, but of Valenciennes lace and embroidered
insertion. With satin and velvet, the sleeves are oar-
gamily trimmed with white or black feathers, a band of
the same being placed on the skirt of the dress en teblier,
and round the vests or body.
Velvet zouayes are worn with white muslin dresses, and
velvet vestes, trimmed with white feathers os fur. Gold
embroidery is no longer well worn. Vestas are also made
of white cashmere, and the skirt of the same, trimmed with
sable or chinchilla.

Satin &all dmire. are very much worn this year. They
are trimmed either with a narrow flounce of lace at the
bottom, and bouilloones, mimed with light wreaths of
dowers, or with a skirt of tulle bouillonne, with or with-
out flowers, and a tunic of satin caught up at the sides by
bou nets ; the satin body opens over a plastron of tulle
boailboo.. The satin tunic la frequently replaced by one
formed of wide laces, which can afterwards be used as
trimmings for the bottoms of other dresses. For simpler
toilet, white or coloured tarlatan is used, with alternate bike
pieces of white and lilac, or white and green, kc. These
ornaments are slightly waved, and the berth. is trimmed
to match. Dresses of this material are also made with
very full shire, and a flounce about fifteen inches deep at
the bottom, trimmed at each edge with a very full ruche,
formed by alternate plaitings, white and coloured. These
dresses have nearly always ribbon-sashes to match, tied
behind.

At Warsaw the government is converting each
house into a barrack, the ground floors and first
floors being, especially in the houses near
the pekoe, 000upied by soldiers. The orders
to the troops are all Mimed by the grand
Duke Constantine and General Korff, who is tem-
porarily acting as military governor in the place of
General Ramsay, but is to be succeeded by General
Berg, of unenviable notoriety as an unscrupulous
tool of the St. Petersburg government. Marquis
Wielopoiski is still in favour, and is sneering at the
army, who, he says, do not seem to be able to do
their duty as be had done his, in raising into active
resistance the discontented element of the nation.
All the officers, except those of the higher ranks,
are looked on with suspicion by the government,
and nearly all authority is taken from them, the
result of which is an indaicribable anarchy among
the troops. Whole towns continue to be burnt
to the ground, and their unoffending in-
habitants robbed and murdered, the officers
being powerless to prevent what their
general and the government give their sanction
i to. On the 20th the pretty town of °jam, situated
in the centre of the district called the Polish
Switzerland, was totally destroyed. The soldiery,
accompanied by a few peasants, first robbed the
principal houses of all their valuables, and then
burnt the town and surrounding villages. On the
peasants asking if they would not be punished for
aiding the troops, their commandant assured them
I they had nothing to fear, for the Czar had ordered
that one landowner only was to be left alive for
every 125 miles, and it is their duty to see that this
ie carried out ! and that they would be paid for
every landowner they killed. A similar scene
took place at Miechow on the 17th. Colonel Korff,
who had been directed to assume the command
of the Russian detachment sent to that town, stopped
the troops at Ogrodzieniec, which is at some dis-
tance from Miechow, and calling his officers together
told them he could not reconcile his orders as a
soldier with his duty as a man, upon which he shot
himself. When the Russians arrived at Miechow,
they were attacked by a body of insurgenta, who
shortly after retired, finding the troops too strong
for them. The latter then entered the streets of
the city, and fired into the windows of the houses.
M. Orrechowski, one of the local magistrates, find-
ing that the lives of his wife and children were in
danger, came out in uniform in front pf his house
to remonstrate with the soldiery. These imme-
diately seized him, felled him to the earth with a'
blow that proved fatal, and, after stripping him,
cut his body into quarters with their swords, and
carried the mangled and bleeding remains
about the principal streets of the city.
' They then, in spite of the orders of
their officers? entered the houses, murdered many
of the inhabitants, and after carrying off every-
thing of value, set the town on fire. The officers,
finding their efforts to restrain their men were in-
effectual, took such of the inhabitants as had not
' yet been attacked under their protection, and,
with loaded revolvers in their hands, escorted them
out of the city. Many of these unfortunates have
crossed the frontier into Galicia ; the rest are wan-1
dering about the country in an aimless manner,
driven almost mad by their sufferings and the
loss of all that was dear to them. The
leaders in this disgraceful deed were the
frontier guards, who, being well acquainted
with the town, showed the soldiers the houses
were most valuables were to be found. It is
rumoured that Langievricz and his small but valiant
band is gradually hemming in the Russian troops
and pushing them towards the Austrian frontier.
The course of action which the Austrians will
adopt on this occasion is the subject of much specu-
lation. Hitherto they seem to have inclined to the
side of the Poles—a policy which indeed is dic-
tated as much by their interest as by the traditional
policy of their government ; the appearance of a
Russian army, however, in Austria, will compel
them to take a decisive step, which may lead to
grave complications.

THE QUALIFICATION FOR OFFICER ABOLITION
BlLL—This bill stands for a third reeding on Wednesday,
and, from the little effort made to obstruct its progress on
the second reeding, it might be supposed that the leaders o
the conservative party had abandoned the idea of further
opposition. Such a supposition would, however, be a mis-
taken one. The whipping process is being diligently carried
on, with a view to a good muster of the party. We assume
that theliberals of the House of Commons do not desire
that so reasonable a measure should be lost, after being four
times carried in the lower house, and we therefore think
it right to urge every member of the liberal party to be in
his place on Wednesday.

THE BISHOPS AND DB. COLERSO.

The following address has been presented on the
part of the bishops to Dr. Cokseo
"TO THE RIGHT HIV. J. W. COMM, MD., LORD BISHOP Of

NATAL.

" We, the undersigned .Arehbishope and Bishops of the
United Church of England and Ireland, address you with
deep brotherly anxiety, as one who shares with us the grave
responsibilities of the epteoopal offioe.
It is impossible for us to enter here into argument with
you as to your method of handliog that Bible which we
believe to be the Word of God, and on the truth of which
rest all our hopes for eternity. Nor do we here raise the
question whether you are legally entitled to retain your
present office and position in the church, complicated, more-
over, as that question is by the fact of your Wog • bishop
of the church in Routh Africa, now at a distance from your
diocese and province.
. . . . .

"But we 'feel bound to pat before you another view at
the ease. We understood you to say (Part IL, p. ufil., at
your Pentateuch and Book of Joshua Critically Ex.
amined ') that you do out now believe that which you vo-
luntarily professed to believe, as the indispensable condi-
tion of your being intrusted with your present office. We
understand you also to say that you have entertained, and
have not abandoned, the conviction that you could not use
the Ordinatioo Service. inasmuc► se in it you ' must re-
quire from others a solemn declaration that they unfeign-
edly believe all the Canonical Scriptures of the Old and
New Testament; which, with evidence now before you.
'it is impossible wholly to believe in.' (Part L, p. xii.)
And we understand you further to intimate that those who
thiuk with you are precluded from using the baptismal ser-
vice, and consequently (as we must infer) other offioes of
the Prayer-book unless they omit all such passages as
assume the truth of the Mosaic history. (Put 11., p.
xxy. )
. . . . .

;ilow, it cannot have escaped you that the inconsistency
between the °Bios you hold and the opinions you avow 311
causing great pain and grievous modal to the church. And
we solemnly ask you to consider once more with the most
serious attention whether you can, without harm to your
own conscience, retain your position, when you can no
longer discharge Its duties or use the formularies to which
you have subscribed. We will not 'hoodoo the hope that,
through earnest prayer and deeper studyof Gods Word.
you may, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, be restored
to a state of belief in which you may be able with a clear
conscience again to discharge the duties of our sacred office ;
a result which, from regard to your highest interests, yrs
should welcome with the most unfeigned witisfaction.
