Another day of rest now calls the gay votaries of pleasure
to these rrnpuria of dress and fashion ; Sir John with his bass,
my lady in her barouche, women of character dressed for the
seasint, and women of no character dressed for any sea.on, ulI
hasten to the gay resort, all ptessed on by Sunday bucks anti
tpts of I.looa in the ride, or .4 ‘k ept along by the lievinjug cromi
of .14An Trot's family , tt ho gobble down a hasty dinner, to take
walk and .bony their finery.
At this propitious season, when Spring, with all its verdure.
hastens to deck our fields w ith oative emerald, a change ot
dress becomes an important topic, and those ss ho wish to shim.
as the arbiters of fashion (like true philosophers) first try- twit
espeeimentt: at the Sunday resorts.—The last w erks have beet
productive of much novelty this way, and this day, should pro-
pitious Sol, still shine resplendent, we may expect much of this
important business settled.
'the gayer nylophs, warmed by the approaching sun, now lay
aside their clay-cold habiliments, whilst the pearl, the faun,
nod the lath purple shot, strive eagerly fur pre-eatioetwe ; cloth
caps now yield the pal to those of a lighter texture, and might%
mill he the struggle between the chap.:aux a la Diane, and al(
cuipiirs a la Bergere.
The stores of Antiquity are already ransacked ; the four
gamliTs of the glohe are deficient in novelty, and kleaven itself
'idea be taken by storm. Each.article of apparel, w ill there-
fore bear the patronizing name Of some tutelary Goddess, till
all Kensington Gardeus shine a galaxy of native Stars, and the
Astronomer fond of contemplating the hraecnin hudirs, may here
Raze himself to madness. We might pursue the metaphor, but
Snitie tricked wits may perhaps by their eccrntric lectures, call
our attention to the conjunctions of the inferior planets, to blaz-
ing comets, or pun us through all the signs of the Zodiac from
Virgo to Gemini.
'Mnkt all this dearth of uovelty, yr e are surprised that none of
our fair countrywomen have clapped on the conjuring cap;
but were it in our power to recommend a fashion, it should be
the Cap of Aluicaj, and the Mantle vi' Reserve.

11r. Deputy Goodbehere could not comprehend the necessity
sf the Address, as his Nlajesty could not entertain the smallest
,Doubt of their loyalty and attachment to his Sacred Person and
f;okernineut. This Address savoured strongly of a party ques-
tion, but he trukted the Court would feel its own 411W/I'l;4lWe
11v rejecting it, is hich would be P°ix ing a proper example to
the country at large ; and concluded by moving an amendment,
lisclaiming party matters.
11r. Waithman expected that Ponwthilv in the shape of argu-
ment would he bromAtt forward to convince the Court of the
ib.zoltite necessity of such an Address; he was well aware of
the situation of this country, and was not, by any menus, friend-
ly to petitions for peace, though they m ere dictated by the
pre,.....ce of existing eircumstatice,.. Ily this sweeping Address.
the Court was called on to sanction the entire coralnct of Mini-
. •fer,; but be could not g:o to such lengths, fur they had not yet
!lune any thing in fa% our of the people. Ills Majesty's Speech
recommended ecuimmy : had that been pursued ? Ao. The fate
of the heversion Bill w as fresh in the recollection of the Court_
After all this we were not called upon to thank his INlajesty me
the happy choice of his Jliniste rs. lie concluded by provoking
3111 ameminient also. _ .

QI,o, defended thz. Copenhagen Expedition told the Or-
ders in Council, hut lamented the fate of the 1: everOon 13e11 ;

After a fees- {N rtt from Mllr. Jack, Sir C. Price, Aldermen
Shaw and Curtii, the amendments werc rejected, and the ori-
ginal Address agreed to. A Committee was then appointed to
prepare the same, and the Sheriirs were directed to bait upon
Lac King, to know when he will he plea,ed to receive it.
