NEWEST LONDON FASYHONS.

[From the new Monthly Work called the World of Fashion and
Contniental Feldlletons.l

No. 1. WALMING DREI9.-11 igh dress of fine cambric, trimmed
with Vandyke lace, and fastening demo the front with elegantly
wrought Lwow*: a double-pointed pelerine cape. Cornette of
Vandyke lace, placed very backward, so that the ends only appear
under the chin. Hat of pink gros de Naples, elegantly ornamented
with satin, blond, ftill.blown rues and barberries. Pink strings,
tying on the right side tinder the chin.
No. 2. Ev ENING Hit rsa.—Dress of tulle over white satin, made
low, and falling off the shoulders, where the sleeve is caught up by
pearl tassels. Barbel-blue toque of satin, with elegant white
plumage. Necklace, two rows of very large pearls.
No. 3. CARRIAGE COST t;3I E.—High dress of jaconot muslin,
with double-falling collar trimmed with lace; and fastened in front
with a bow of jonquil striped riband. Sleeves en blouse, with a
mancherun formed of two rows of plaited leer, set at a distance
from each other. Ilst of white gros tie Naples, ornamented with
striped riband, jonquil and bright geranium, and crowned with
full bouquets of flowers of the same colours : the hat ornamemed
under the brim with ribands the same u the strings, whist float
loose, and a sash of the sante riband encircles the waist.
NO. 4.—Cap of tulle, lined with lapia.coloured satin or scarlet,
and ornamented scrota; the crown, en cretes de coq, with lapsis and
pink riband ; and lightly embellished with sweet peas. Short
strings of striped riband, lapsis sad pink.
No. 6.—Carriage hat of white satin, ornamented with gaiter,
edged with a white satin rouleau ; and adorned with very large full
blown damask roses, with their buds anti green leaves. Under the
brim a fluting of damask.ruse.coloured satin riband ; bows of the
same on each temple, and strings.
Fashion it a divinity, before whose shrine the inhabitants of
every nation fall prostrate: the worship of this power is innocent,
AS herself, for, though it has triumph for its end, her votaries of
different nations are distinguished one from another, without being
disunited. Even her caprices are venerated, 'because they afford
the means of equally embellishing the captive Circassian of the
Asiatic Harem, as to her who shines at, and adoms the British
court, or is distinguished by her taste, as well as beauty. in the re.
splen.lent audiences of the opera. The sacred firs of fashion burns
on the frozen summits of Mount Cancans, as bright as on the
plains of Hindman ; and now, in Britain's summer retreats, we
find the versatile power enveloping her fair Votaries in the garment
of chaste and elegant simplicity.
The newest hat is in the Margaret de Valois shape, and is of
white satin ; a cnrnette quilling of blond is placed under the hat;
and over the crown is a small fichu of Japanese gauze, edged with
blond and white satin rouleaux : the ends of the fichu are, how.
ever. short, and do not tie under the crown, as is generally the
mode. This hat is ornamented with a superb plume of ostrich
feathers, playing in different directions, over the crown and brim.
Black velvet hats, of the same shape, but larger in size, are ex.
pected in a short time to be in general request : these are trimmed
in the sante way with the white satin hat above-mentioned, only ,
that the black plumage is curled. A carriage hat of blue gros de
Naples has been much, and justly admired ; it is trimmed with
stiffened ornaments of the same material, placed on the crown, en
Jere de chrool ; between the interstices of which are bouquets of
blue fancy flowers. The hats are of a more moderate size than they
were last month, except those of leghom, which still continue too
large to be becoming. White chip and white crape hats, with
superb plumes of ostrich feathers, are much worn at the public
drycnnes, and other rural entertainments.
Ire have seen a very superb black satin dress, for a widow of
high rank, who has thrown aside her weeds, yet seldom wears co.
lours. The border of the skirt is finished by three serpentine or.
naments of rich looped fringe; each headed by a full rouleau of
satin. The front of the skirt is made like a pelisse robe; and the
part that forms the apparent folds down each side, is ornamented
with sepentine rouleaux, and fringe to correspond with tho trim.
mings round the border. This dress, which is for home costutne,
or the receiving family dinner parties, is made high, and the
sleeves en gigot. A purple satin dress of this kind, has a very
splendid appearance, made more to correspond with evening cos.
tome, by the bust being made lower, and the sleeves either short,
or less capacious. Geranium-coloured gauze dresses, of the Ja-
panese kind of texture, over white satin are much in favour for
evening dress, and now that the hours of candle light arc many,
they have a very beautiful effect; a white satin corsage is gene-
rally worn with these dresses, with a drapery across the bust of
geranium gauze, and short sleeves composed of white satin, and the
gauze above mentioned : as the season declines, these gowns are
likely to increase in favour; we have already seen several on
distinguished females. The fashi,ntble way of trimming gowns
consist, much in three very broad bias folds, placed next the border
of the skirt ; the upper one only headed by a very full rouleau : at
some distance, are three bias folds set on in festons, caught up by
rings of fluted satin; over the upper one of these is also a rouleau.
Flounces prevail much, especially of blond, over gauze and crape
dresses, and sometimes, on those of silk for the evenings, they are
placed in festons: on satin dresses fringe seems to predominate,
mingled with full rouleaux ; the fringe is of a novel kind, glossy
though wiry, and consists of looped cordon; it is very rich and
costly; we know of nothing more appropriate to the uimming of
satin dresses. _ _

Though we experience a seasonable change in the weather, it
yet continues mild in general: and when so, the out-dour coverings
are but slight. A beautiful dress satin pelerine, well adapted to
the d kmi-saison, has been invented by Mrs. Bell, for the carriage;
over a high dress it is • sufficient addition, and looks now infi-
nitely better than gossamer or other light shawls. It is of the
dchu kind, but the point behind does not descend so low as
to obscure • fine shape. It is cut in regular but not very
distinct points all round, and is finished round the edge with a
beautiful blond. The ends are long in front ; but it is too rich and
handsome to be confined undo' the saoi ; in slight mourning, this
tippet in black, with black lace or fringe, looks beautiful over a
pearl-coloured or a French grey : in white satin, edged with blond,
they mean elegant appendage to a dress for a concert or the theatre,
but when the colours are rather dark or striking, the new fringe
looks better than white blond. In regard to the pelisses, there is
nothing new, at present, since our last accounts : cachernire shawls,
when the weather is chilly, appear both In carriages and at the pro-
menade ; the ground is white, or of very pale colours: and the bor.
der is variegated with all the different huts of the rainbow ; these
valuable shawls are too easily imitated, but the imitation confers
the highest honour on the skill of our manufacturers, and we hope
to see them meet with the encouragement they merit ; for though
the soft texture spun front the beard of the Thibet goat can never
be attained in a climate like ours, yet a shawl, say what one will,
as to its value, has seldom an appearance of elegance: comfort they
certainly impart, but little grace; and when such charming
works issue from our own looms, seventy or eighty guineas for a
real cachemire seems too much to give for a mere wrapping en-
velope.
The lappet caps, which have long been in &your for half dress
and home costume, are now confined to the breakfast table; they
are of fine thread, figured, or spotted tulle and Mechlin lace; they
are generally slightly ornamented with pink riband : for a later
hour in the morning, a corneae of blond is moat fashionable ; it is
tastefully ornamented with pink satin riband and tulle. A dinner
emetic, or home head-dress, is of tulle and blonde, ornamented
with pink satin riband and quillings of tulle, and full blown roses,
• small bouquet of which lies on each temple ; at the summit,
placed very backward, is a splendid bouquet of these flowers,
with buds and foliage; this cap is more in the lappet style
than that of the cornette ; the ends are very long, of blond
the moat beautiful in pattern, and fasten slightly under the
chin ; if beauty of countenance is wanting, there requires
nevertheless some loveliness to render this head-dress becom.
int!: it has an air of high fashion to distinguish it, but its
effect must be owing to the taste with which it is put on. A
few half-dress turbans have appeared, and ie is expected they will
be revived the next winter ; at present caps are all the rage ; few
ladies, how youthful soever, are seen without, except when at the
rural ball they add a few flowers only to their ornamental combs,
he. Dress hats are more worn at evening parties, by matronly
belles, than either toques or turbans : as, however, this season ad.
vances, we shall, no doubt, witness many changes in female attire.
The most epproved colcurs are pink, ethereal blue, royal purple,
geranium, and café a la creme.

MANCHEITIN COTTON Al•lllT.—'flee market for
goods has continued mach in the same state as we reported
it in our last. The most animated sales have been in prints
suitable for the season. In almost everything else the de-
mand has not been more than moderate. We believe, how-
ever, that as much business is doing as there was at the
corresponding season on the average of two or three years.
Every description of goods is now as low as when cotton
was at the lowest. The loss, we understand, is falling on
the spinners, who go on in the hopes that an advance in
the price of yarn, or a fall in the price of cotton, will take
place.—Manchester Journal.
The number of vessels cleared outwards at the port of
Newport, in Monmouthshire, in the year ending July last,
exceeded 8,000. The trade of the port, foreign and coast-
wise, has increased fourfold in the last few years. The
number of houses built, and those now building, with the
additional wharfs and quays, astonishes persona who had
not seen the town for the last five years. The river is one
of the finest in Great Britain, and capable of receiving the
largest ships in the British navy. M e are astonished that,
with the immense capital now in England, a floating har-
bour has not been made ere this.

PLATING WITH FIRC-ARMS.---IT is OUT painful duty to
record a melancholy accident which Ists happened at
Rhode, tear this town. A servant in tile house of Mr.
George Danger had been engaged in cleaning out a cup-
board, where there waa a loaded pistol, which was removed
to a place where it was supposed it would not have been
observed—a boy, who is employed about the house, coming
in, was desired by.the servant to reach something from the
place where the pistol was deposited ; on seeing the pistol,
he pointed it at her, exclaiming," I'll shoot you !" The
woman replie4, " Don't point it at me, for it is loaded !"
The pistol then went off, and she received the whole of the
charge in her face. Mr. Strong, who attends her, thinks,
if she does recover, she wilt lose the use of one of her
eyes, and be a miserable spntaele for the remainder of iv :r
bk.—To/sten andrier.
