FASHIONS FOR JULY.

PsoitsxAux Daps.—A cambric muslin gown, trimmed
at the bottom of the skirt with deer muslin bouillonne, let in in
waves; each wave is embroidered round the edge, and the uim-
ming is terminated by a full flounce of that sort of work which
resembles point lace. High body, tight to the shape, finished
round the bust by a narrow wave, to correspond with the trim-
ming of the bottom.
Branum Dadss.—A round dress composed of British net
over a white satin slip; the bottom of the skirt finished with a
full double ruche of the Male material, and this is surmounted
by a trimming composed of net puffs; their form is that of a
crescent; they are let in irregularly, and to a considerable height.
EMOLIIIII SUMMER. CARRIAGIE DlEM—Round dress of
India muslin, with a bouillonne ornament of muslin at the but.
tom of the hem. Above are two rows of broad letting in lace,
in which foliage scalloping is most visible, and which is finely
relieved by being lined with pink. The dress is made high, amid
fall over the bust, with antique crossings of psie pink satin, and
with robing* richly embroidered, and edged to correspond with
the pink rouleaux across the stomacher.
FaExcir WALKINS DaEss.—Round dress of lilac ar OS a
Naples : the corsage fluted at the back en gerbe ; the border of
the dress trimmed with distinct stripes 01 fluting, crossways ;
the flutings forming a representation of bullion.

The new Haymarket Theatre was opened on
Wednesday night for the first time, and when the
curtain rose there was a very full attendance of ele-
gant company. It rose about seven o'clock, and
displayed some of the distinguished members of the
Corps Drantatique ; amongst whom we were glad
to observe Mum Carew. They pertinmed " God
save Me King," which called forth the customary
conflicts between, we will not say rival parties, but
persons differing a little in opinion. The efforts to
substitute particular words, or to apply certain pas-
sases, produced, at times, laughable effects. One
party, tbr instance, loudly joined in the burden of
the Air—" God save Me King," and another party
promptly, and quite as vociferously exclaimed " TUE
QUEEN ;" and when the loyalists joined in the line
" Frustrate their knavish tricks," their opponents
retorted with no ordinary vehemence—" Confound
their politics." The Court party encored the per-
formance, and the opposite party, not to be behind
hand, loudly supported the call tbr en encore, with
the stipulation—" for the Queen, for the Queen !"
It was accordingly repeated, the word " QUEEN"
being substituted in many instances, by considerable
portions of the audience —Mr. Terry afterwards
stepped forward and delivered an Address on the
opening of the Theatre, which in general was pointed
and appropriate; it was recited in an earnest and
impressive manner, that reflected credit on the per-
&ruler, and told well with the house. The opening
Play was Sheridan's Rivals; the several pertbrmers
were warmly greeted as they entered, and they
ware flatteringly applauded in the progress of the
Comedy.
Unfortunate accident.--Wednesday morning the
driver of a hackney coach, when turning the coiner
of' Parliament-street, the bind wheel of his couch
came in contact with the post with such violence as
to upset the coach, and knock the driver from off his
box ; by the fall he dislocated his neck, and was
otherwise much hurt. He was carried to the hos-
pital by the bye-slanders. Fortunately there was
no person in the coach at the time.
Last week a contract was entered into by a
butcher of Canterbury, for the supply of the work.

EXlCOTloll.—MedlleAdly morning was ushered in
by the awful spectacle of the execution of the following
six unfortunate individuals, viz. Charles Wade and
Robert Holding, for a burglary in the house of Mr.
Brown, Grafton-street, Seven Dials; John Blakeney,
for a highway robbery; Mathias George Driscol, for
extorting money from a servant of the Duke of Norfolk ;
Cephus Quested, for un.awfully assembling with fire-
arms on toe coast of Kent, soil resisting the seizure of
some smuggled goods; and John Suave, for forging the
signature of his superior officer, with intent to defraud.
—Long before the hour of execution, the Old Bailey was
crowded to excess by an immense assemblage of persons.
Soon after seven o'clock the Sheriff's (Messrs. Waithsitati
and Williams) arrived at the prison, and iinmediairly
proceeded to the press yard, where Driscol audillakeney
were attended by the Rev. Mr. Devereux, the Homan
Catholic clergyman. After praying some time their
irons were struck off; they appeared extremely repentant,
aod were loud in their acknowledgments to Mr. Brow'',
the keeper, and to the Rev. Gentleman. Quested was
then brought in ; lie shook bands with the other pri-
soners, and assisted in removing his irons. The dirt e
remaining unfortunate men were then lwought to.
Shape, on entering the press yard, bowed to the perso. s
present, and maiuiained the utmost fi eu; lie admo-
nished Driscel for disturbing the other prisoners by his
exclamation. The awful procession then misted through
the passages of the prison to the place of execution ;
Blakeney ascended toe scaffold first, lellowed by Driscol, •
Holding, Wade, and Smite, the latter of whom joined
in conversation with the Rev. Mt. Baker, the Dissenting
Minister, discussing various passages of scripture wills
great composure, and concluded by saying, he hoped the
desired example would hive the intended effect. He
expressed his anxiety as to the future welfare of his fa-
mily, shook hands with sevenl gentlemen, and hoped
this would be a salutary warning to them. lie then
ascended the scaffold with a firm step, and in a few
minutes the fatal drop fell,and the unfortunate mei, were
launched into eternity. After hanging the usual dine,
their bodies were delivered to their friends, some of
whom, we understand, are of great respectability —.Lillis
Shape was a purser in the navy, a young matt of must re,-
'movable family. His finnuess and resignation to his tate,
accompanied with a surprising clieerlulness daring toe
whole of fin COlifilleillent in Newgate, excited the asto-
nishment of all who witnessed it, ailul his gentlemanly
manners and persevering exertions in bringing his fello.v
prisoners to a due sense of their religions dunes, stud tile
happiness of true Christians hereafter, were productive of
the most pleasing elects, and rendered him a pattera
among his unfortunate companion,. He was a illoSt
excellent husband and father, and the parting of his wile
and family was distressing beyond description. He mut •
left six children, five girls and a boy (the eldest only 15
years old), to lament his loss, and wholly without toe
means of support.
CORONER'S IN QUEST.—On Thursday an inquest

Two pendent baskets which the donkey 'bore,

In baking apples, which, in tedious rout,
The little vagrant daily hawk'd about.
Not far from Fulham bail he bent his. way,

And well it might,—for soon a fellow grapples
Tile harmless lad, and tumbles out his apples.

Mad Dogs.—lt having been represented to the
churchwardens and overseers of the parish of St.
Giles, that several dogs in the neighbourhood of
Bloomsbury-square, and other parts of that parish,
were bit last week by a large white dog, which was
afterwards killed, it being ascertained that he was
mad; they on Friday caused large posting-bills to
be stuck up all over the parish, cautioning all per-
sons who have dogs, to keep them tied up for some
days, to ascertain if they have been bit; or if found
et large in the streets after that notice, they will
be shut. We understand that in the united parishes
of St. George, Bloomsbury, and St. Andrew, Hol-
born, many dogs have bet.n bit.
