bow of broad ribatid, of canaty-yellow, which bows are placid on
the falling tucker. The hair is arranged in the Lesbian style ; the
curls very full, long, and large in front; and the Sappho knot is

regal fillet, composed of jewels or wrought gold : of the lattas4lo,

Naples, with the crown plentifully besprinkled with yellow and
white jonquils: and under the brim, just above the left eyebrow,
are two jonquils, one white, the other yellow: these flowers are
rather burger than nature. The dress. altogether, is very elegant,
and the hat of a shape peculiarly becoming; being a great im-

more tasteful appearance. A sea-green parasol is generally adopted
with this costume.

Virtu. or Yona's rim RESIDENCE.—The exterior of
the mansion erecting for the future residence of his Royal
highness the Duke of York is almost finished, and pre-
sents a very magnificent aspect when seen from the Parks.
The form of the building is nearly a square. The front
side, which faces the Canal in St. James's Park, projects
slightly at each end ; there is also a projection in the
middle, having six Corinthian columns, a little in advance,
supporting a pediment. The west side fronting the Green
I'ark resembles exactly the side we have just described,
with these exceptions, that there are no pilasters on the
projections at the two ends; neither has it the Venetian
' windows, as they are all made of the same dimensions.
The east differs from the other sides in its not having any
columns in the centre projection, which cantains only three
windows: between each of these windows are placed two
Corinthian pilasters; there are also two pilasters at each of
the angles of the centre projection. The whole of the ex-
terior walls have been cased with stone, which, together
with the piers, etc. have been rusticated in the French
style as high as the first floor.
We learn that a great number of weavers, and others in
