LATEST FASHIONS,:)

Many of the newest • out-door dresses present some
prettyvarieties in the trimming which are deserving of
notice. A dress of black silk has a trimming of six
flounces, each edged with blue silk. The flounces
are arranged three by three, a bouillonne which
surmounts the first three separating them - from the'
rest. The corsage of this dress is trimmed .with
small ruches of blue silk; it is pointed at the waist.
and a ceinture is worn with it. The sleeves are
formed at the upper part of two puffs, above which
a bow of ribbon' is disposed as an epaulet; at the
lower part the sleeves are shaped to the elbow. A dress
composed of silk of the beautiful bright tint called
Parma violet may be thus described :—On the skirt-
there are two deep flounces surmounted by a pinked
ruche. Above these broad flounces are four narrow
ones, each headed by a pinked ruche. All the flounces
and ruches are bordered with silk of a deeper-tint of
violet than the dress. The corsage, unpointed, and with a
ceinture, is trimmed with narrow frills corresponding
with the flounces on the skirt. Another dress, consist-
ing of brown -terry velvet, has the skirt simply trimmed'
with a row of velvet buttons of, the same colour as the -:
dress. The corsage is plain, and fits closely to the
figure. It is fastened at the lower part by a row of
velvet buttons, and at the upper part it is slightly open,.
the two corners at the top being turned back in the form
of lappels or revers. The sleeves are tight from the
shoulder to the Wrist, and are finished at the top with '
a jockey, or epaulet. set on in large box plaits. We
may mention one or two of the bonnets which have just
appeared. ' One of white terry velvet has the front and
curtain edged with_ peach-colour velvet. _ On'one side
there :is a plume of .small white feathers. The under
trimmings consist of a bandeau of peach-coloured
velvet and white blonde, intermingled with bouonets of
of peach blossom. The strings composed of white
1 terry velvet. A plainer style of bonnet is of groseille-
colour velvet, trimmed "vitli black velvet and lace. A
ruche of groseille velvet and small tufts of black feathers
are intermingled with the under-trimming. Another
bonnet recently made has a souple crown of blue
velvet, and the front composed of back velvet. The
outside trimming consists of velvet and black lace, and
that in the inside of a bandeau of blue velvet, ruches of
blonde, and a bow of black lace.. A demi-veil of black
lace is worn with this bonnet, and the strings arc com-
posed of black velvet. In Paris the tips of peacock's
feathers have lately been lunch employed in trimming
bonnets.. This fashion has found -favour with the Em-
press. We have- seen a bonnet of. black and violet
velvet, black lace,- aria a -tastefully-arranged plume__ of
peacock's feathers. Cloaks continue to be similar in
style to those we have already from time to time noticed:
They are composed of as heretofore, of velvet, silk, of
cloth. Long Cashmere shawls are also frequently
adopted in out-door costume.—Lady'a Newspaper.

It is a well-known maxim that "time is money "—the tern:m-
are relative; so to save one is to save the other. We save
both time, and economise patience, and present good tempers,
when we have a good PE.N—a bad one upsets patience and
temper. Preserve all, then, by purchasing your steel pens and
other stationery at E. T. Hall's wholesale steel pen warehouse,

THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH AND SOUTH-DOWN
Murrow.—When the French frigate La Corse, which
had been undergoing some repairs to her machinemachinery,.left the basin of Shoreham Harbour, just after Christ-
mas, Mr. Murrell, butcher, Albert-terrace, Cliftonville,
packed up, as a present to the Emperor of the French, a
splendid haunch of one of Mr. William Rigden's pure
South-down sheep, which had been exhibited at the
Smithfield Cattle Show. The joint was duly delivered
at the Imperial Palace on New-year's Day. Mr. Mur-
rell expected to hear no more about it; but on Saturday
last he received, through the medium of the French
Ambassador in London, an autograph letter from the
Tuileries, acknowledging the thanks of the Emperor ;
and accompanying it was a gold medal, bearing on the.
pbverse side a beautifully-executed likeness of his Ma-
jesty. The medal is said to be intrinsically worth twenty
guineas.—Brighton Obsecver.
A RACEHORSE REGISTER.—A correspondent of the
Field proposes that' every horse upon being put into
training ehall have hie name inserted in a book to be
kept either at Weatherby's or Tattersall's, together with
the most accurate description of the age, colour, marks,
&c., and pedigree of the animal. Tlit no name be
allowed to be adopted (as a nom du course) similar to
that of any other animal who has been running in public
within the preceding six years. That the boo be open
to all for inspection, upon payment of a trifling fee.
That no horse, mare, or gelding, be allowed to start for
any stake, unless duly registered in the manner above-
mentioned, and that due notice be given to Mr. Wea-
therby or Mr. Tattersall of all horses being taken out of
training. Should an owner of horses change his mind, and
return his animal into training, notice must be duly given of
that decision. That name and pedigree should be always
inserted in all race-cards, return lists, &c , and no foreign.
horse be allowed to start in England without proper
certificates from persons of known respectability.
THE NEW IRISH MAIL BOATS.—It has been decided
that the four vessels building for this service shall be _
called the Leinster, Munster, Connaught, and Ulster.
Mr. Laird, of Birkenhead, is constructing the Munster
and the Ulster. and Messrs. James Watt and Co., of
'Birmingham, will supply the engines. Mr. Laird is also
building the -Conrittught. The last of the four—the -
Leinster—is being_ built at Blackwall, ..by Messrs. _
Samacla Brothers, and. Messrs. Ravenhill and Co. are to
supply the engines for the two last-named vessels. The
,first will be,launched from Messrs. Laird's on the 20th
of February, and the others will quickly follow. The
new postal service will commence in June next, when
the whole distance between Euston Station, London,
and the Westland-row Station, Dublin, must be tom-
:pleted in 111 hours, twice a-day on week days, and
on Sundays, under penalties ranging to £BO per trip
all delays beyond the lit hours, except ciusecrat gea - - -
fogs, snow-storms, or saving human life. There can
no remission of penalties for delays from any cause
whatever in the land-portion of the service.
1 MR. COBDEN AND, THE EMPEROR.—The Paris COT.. ,
respondent of the ,Aug,iburg Gazette, writes :---7" I
gather from one of the managers of the Chemin du Nord
that when Mr.'Cobden arrived some months ago from'
England;iiis luggage weighed about 13,000 kilos (?4','
that is to say 13 tons. It was immediately forwarded to
St. Cloud. This parcel contined patterns of every kind
of Engliih produce. The Emperor went with—Mr-
Cobden over the whole of these articles, comparing-I-
quality, cost of production, and price with that of
the ' corresponding articles of French manufacture. -
..
At that time nobody in Paris had an idea of Mr.
Cobden having established a depot of English goods in
the palace of St. Cloud, and was studying economical
reform with the Emperor, as he once before had done
with Sir Robert Peel. The Emperol made a good use
of this opportunity to acquire commercial knowledge,
and he thus became enabled to meet and conquer the
deputntinnk_of-the -protectionists-on-their OWII ground. .-- ---
The Memorial de Lille, however, says that "at the
audiences which the Emperor, indeed, seems to have
granted to some of these deputations, he contented
himself with attentively listening to their spokesmay- '
and made no reply whatsoever." • •
PROGRESS OF RAILWAYS' IN SPAIN.—The Spanish
Government has just approved of the concession of the
Ciudad-Real and Badajoz Railway granted to Don Jose-
Fetus, with a subvention of 97,000,000 reals vellon
(about- £970,000) in specie, or' in state " obligations"
for railways. The concessionist represents four bank-
ing., houses, besides railway contractors and those for
public works. M. Salamanca, the well;known'Spanish
capitalist, has obtained the concession for the Albacete
and Carthagena line. Before the works commence,
tlici iginal surveys upon which the concession was
based are to'be checked' by the engineers,
