" This figure that thou here seest put,
It was for gentle Shakspere cut;
Wherein the graver hath a strife
With Nature, to outdo the life ;

With regard to your statement respecting the £ affairs of

Our Lord, may God grant him support, has frepay
commanded the inhabitants of all the other provinces of

kindness and strict justice, so that no wrong whatever be
done to any of them. He also rebuked them (the ink ,abi-

FASHIONS FOR AUGUST,

(From Le Toilet.)

We must no longer seek for fashion in Paris—the fickle
goddess is to be found in the chateaux or at the watering
places, but her reign there is as despotic as in the capital.
Foulard is still a favourite, and just now barege and cham-
bery gauze are much worn ; also a charming material called
Indian gauze, is us3d for demi-toilet. Dresses of pique or
batiste, simply ornamented with white or coloured braid,
and with a little vtste to match, are exceedingly useful.
More elegant dresses, but still made with vestes, are of
muslin or batiste trimmed with guipure, Valenciennes, em-
broidery, or ribbon bows. The square fichu is that decidedly
preferred to be worn with low-bodied summer evening dress.
The ceinture is now one of the most important parts of
the toilet. For young girls of slight figure nothing can be
more becoming than the Swiss ceinture, embroidered and
trimmed with lace or ruches of ribbon, worn over a white
chemisette. Bands of thick plain ribbon are quite the order
of the day. Wide square buckles are worn with them.
Muslin shawls and camails, trimmed with insertion and
flounces of lace, are in vogue. The richest aro lined with
taffetas; others, more simple, are trimmed with festooned
flounces or ball fringe, an insertion over ribbon being placed
all round. Some half-fitting casaques are also made of
muslin with embroidered reams.

Newspaper Press Fund,

A general meeting of the members and subscribers to
this institution was held on Saturday at the Freemaso'
Tavern, to receive a report and balance-sheet from the cc gm-
mittee of management. Lord Houghton, president of the
society, occupied the chair.

Lord flotTcarroN, in opening the proceedings, sai 4 there
was a good deal of misapprehension and unnecessary fears
as to the society exercising any improper influence, either
politically or socially. The fund was not meant in snvde •
greo to apply merely to Parliamentary reporters, or .even to
reporters of any kind. Of course those gentlemen would
be an element in the composition of the society, hat they
only took their due share in it ; therefore it seemed .that any
fear that through the means of the Parliamentary reporters
any partiality or injustice should ensue was a -perfectly
chimerical supposition.
Mr. H. G. WARREN, hon. sec„ then read the report and
the balance sheet. They were both of an cxceediugly satis-
factory and encouraging character. The balance sheet
showed that the total receipts of subscriptions and donations
since Juno of last year amounted to £1,565 13s, the whole,
of which has been received without deduction for collectors '
commission, and that after paying every expense coast
quent on the festival and the ordinary oMce outlay, the ro
remained to tha credit of the fund a balance of £1,346 -.28
Sd, of which sum £l,OOO is on deposit with the banker S of
the fund at 5 per cent,

This season white tarlatan is much used for trimming
taffetas. It seems a strange fancy, but when well arranged
it has a good effect. But the best way of making our readers
acquainted with la mode is to proceed to our description of
dresses.

A straw-coloured lawn dress : at the bottom of the skirt,
a plaited flounce about five inches wide, and upon each plait
a coquille of black lace partly on the skirt. A small veste
of the same material as the dress, trimmed round with black
lace ; opened in front, but attached by pattes, which cross
over a waistcoat of batiste, with insertion and Valenciennes
lace forming a jabot, and also placed round the basques.
A dress of white alpaca ; the bottom of the skirt cut in
very deep festoons, and edged with a wide cerise ribbon.
This trimming is rounded off, and carried up the side as far
as the waist. A narrow flounce is placed over the ribbon
round the festoons. Ceinture corselet, with Basques Direc-
toire made of cerise taffetas and embroidered with jet, With
this elegant dress is worn a high body and long sleeves of
muslin bouillonnee, and cross-barred with narrow cerise
velvet.

Resolutions thanking the noble president, the vice- pre—
sidents, the committee, and Mr Warren, hon. eec., for ;heir
several good services, were carried with acclamation, and
the meeting separated.

A spotted muslin dress, over sky-blue tarlatan; a flounce
about six inches wide trimmed with guipure, and headed
with a magnificent insertion, which is carried up each seam
in horse-shoe form to the height of a quarter of a yard. A
postilion veste, trimmed in the same style. Underneath a
Swiss ceinture of blue taffetas, with very long and wide
ends falling behind.
A robe of white foulard : the skirt trimmed round with
Ia wide band of blue taffetas, edged on each side with a
quilling, and embroidered with white silk. A small collet
to match, and a jockey hat of leghorn, trimmed with a white
feather and blue bow, complete this toilet.
A white muslin dress, with a plaiting and revers, about
five inches wide, round the bottom of the skirt and up each
side of the seams, gradually diminishing in width. These
side
revere are embroidered and placed over pink, The veste
and sleeves trimmed to match. A robe of pointed muslin,
the body full at the waist: ceinturo of lilac gauze, with a
satin edge trimmed with black lace. The bottom of the
skirt trimmed with a quilling of the same ribbon, covered
with black lace.

THE MURDER AND SUICIDE IN SOMERS TOWN.
—The hatchet which was discovered in the water-
butt at the house where this tragedy was exacted has been
sent to Dr. Harley to be examined, in order to see if certain
marks upon it are stains of blood. It was also believed,
from other signs, that it was not thrown into the water-
butt until some time after the murder. Upon Brown's coat
aro several spots, believed to be blood, as well as hairs
from the woman's head. The deeds referred to at the
coroner's inquest, which the man Brown was stated to have
handed to his son, George James Brown, and which aro
endorsed with the name of "Rosetta Bishop," the mur-
dered woman, have been handed over to the police, They
relate to property which had been given to her by the
elderly gentleman who visited her, and whom the old
woman Loader said she called her uncle. It has been
ascertained that the deceased woman had declared her in-
tention, as soon as she could get possession of these deeds,
to leave Brown; and it is believed that their possession
was the immediate cause of quarrel.
CHEERING-UP MR. LINCJI.N.—We see that the
papers are referring to the fact that Lincoln ordered
a comic song to be sung upon a battle-field. Wo have known
the facts about the transaction for some time, but have re-
frained from speaking them. As the newspapers are now
stating some of the facts, we will give the whole. Soon after
one of the most desperate and sanguinary battles Mr Lin-
coln visited the commanding General and the army. While
on his visit the commanding general with his staff took him
over the field in a carriage, and explained to him the plan of
the battle, and the particular places where the fight was most
fierce. At one point the commanding general said " Here
on this side of the road 500 of our brave fellows were killed,
and just on the other side of the road 400 more were slain,
and right on the other side of that wall 500 rebels were de-
stoyed. We have buried them where they fell." "I de-
clare," said the President, " this is getting gloomy. Let us
drive away." After driving a few rods the President said
"This makes a feller feel gloomy. Jack" (speaking to a
companion) "can't you give us something to cheer us up ?
Give us a song, and give us a :ively ono." Thereupon
Jack struck up, as loud as he could bawl, a comic negro
song, which ho continued to sing while they were riding
off from the battle ground. and till they approached a regi-
ment drawn up, when the commanding general said " Mr
President, wouldn't it be well for your friend to cease his
song till we have passed this regiment ? The
poor fellows have lost more than half of their numbers.
They are feeling very badly, and I should be afraid of the
effect that it may have on them." The President then asked
his companion to stop his singing till they got by that regi-
ment. We are aware that this story is incredible ; it is
impossible that a President of the United States could so
conduct himself over the fresh-made graves of the heroic
dead. But, nevertheless, the story is such on such autho-
rity that we know it to be true,—Essen (America) States-
man.
TARE CARE OF THE CHILDREN.—That children
are so much left to the care of servants in so many
families of the middle classes, is perhaps in many cases un-
avoidable. Nevertheless, it is a great evil. However at-
tentive and conscientious servants may be, and even
allowing them to possess the necessary intelligence, it can-
not be expected that their efforts eau ever fulfil the office of
the loving, watchful eye of the mother. It has been ob-
served that children who are attended to by their mother,
who are undressed and put to bed by her, who open theireyes in the morning to behold her cheerful face and loving
looks, who by her arc dressed, and kept under her tender
and judicious care throughout the day, are, as a rule, Jar
more good-tempered, healthy, and intelligent than su hie as
are left almost wholly to the care of servants. In add.n
to this, it should be borne ;n mind that the accidents which
so frequently happen to children, and
i bY wh,ch they are
often crippled, maimed, or rendered idiotic, mostly arise
from the negligence of those in whose care they are left by
inconsiderate mothers. Parents who love
their children,
and are solicitous for their welfare, should give these con-
siderations their earnest attention, for they arts tuunded
upon facts of the utmost importancein relation to domestic
happiness and well-being.—Old Jonathan,
SAVED BY CRINOLINE.—A few days ago a nurse-
maid lost her way on the cliffs at Newquay, and
went close to the edge of the precipitous cliffs, when she
slipped and fill to the beach below, a distance of 10S feet.
Her crinoline expanding with the air, however, so broke
the fall that she landed without a scratch or bruise, and
although much shaken, was able at once to walk 100 yards
and inform her mistress of the occurrence,— Wok; n 0110 l n-

A SHIP'S CREW POISONED. —On Saturday in.

telligeno© was received that the officers and crew of

the bark Ouse, of Sunderland, which lately sailed from the
Tyne, bound to Alexandria, had bean maliciously poisoned
by the cook. The particulars which have arrived are very
scanty, but it appears that the vessel had a crew of 10 sea.-
men. A west countryman, who aeted as cook, from a feel-
ing of revenge for some grievance, conceived the idea of
poisoning the entire crew. He mixed poison among the
men's daily rations, and shortly after partaking of them all
hands became ill. The mate, a seaman named Alder,
Burton Brown, a young man pilot, and another sailor
named James Doyle, died from the effects of the poison.
The remainder of the crew sufficiently recovered to navigate
the vessel to San Roque, near Gibraltar, whence the master
has telegraphed to the owner of the vessel, Mr Thurlbeck,
of Sunderland, informing him of the occurrence. Upon
the vessel arriving in port the cook was given into the cus-
tody of the authorities, and charged with murder. They
are investigating the affair. In the meantime the _
vessel is
detained.

TnE FENS OF LINCOLNSHIRE.—The harvest has
commenced. The wheat crops are generally good ; oats thin;
beans and y
peas are an average crop ; carrots, potatoes,
and
turnips failing from the continued dry weather. Hay crops
thin, grass keeping very scarce. There appears to- be a
great quantity of carrots and '
pcnatoes planted this year; no
blight or disease as yet appears.
STORY OF A SNAKE.--The Lockport Journal
states that there lives in Mercer, Canada West, a woman
who has for four years past been afflicted with a singular
difficulty in her stomach. The complaint commenced about
four years since with a tickling and uneasy sensation about
the pit of the stomach. The sensation has continued to in-
crease in severity. A few months since it became the opinion
of the physicians that the increasing difficulty had been the
growth of a snake in the stomach. It has grown so large
now that it distends the stomach as to produce s bunch upon
the outside as large as a quart bowl. Upon pressing this
bunch with the hand the reptile recoils and produces great
distress in the stomach. When fish or meat is being cooked
in the room, if the snake is not satisfied with fuod it rises
up in the throat, producing strangulation. When desiring
food, it manifests it by rising up in the threat. Physicians
can see no way in which the snake can be removed without
certain death to the woman. She is about 35 years of ago.
Doo Fiats.—On Thursday night upwards of
16,000 dog fish were caught by the men belonging to the
Victoria, of Plymouth, not far from the port.
