'worthy a place amidst their more stiewy contemporaries.—

Large squaies of leno are worn either as a Mantle or as a

varied disposition of its folds.
The Queen CAtherine's boll and tippet is at once a most.
becoming, stylish, and simple ornament, and exceedingly ap-

Vlim4tecl:and novel article in this line is the full rose.and leaf,

ornament for the hair. The pea-green, celestial blue, ilia'

Miles from shore. After swimming to land, he
found his way across the country to Barton, a dis-

It if,inuch
.to be regretted that this Gentleman Can-
not I:e_p within the rank for which nature -seems
to have assigned him, and does not confine himself 1

Which appear to be far above his Comprehension.—

the greatest Orator of. Flee.tzstreet, _he may indeed
gratity his humour, not probably because there are
ric4t-a hundred in the same place capable of speaking-
erviich better than himself, but because they have
good sense enough to despise silly attempts at notOu''
riety, and are disposed to conduct themselves with a
prope.rattention to their private concerns, and leave -1
the Government of the State to the wisdom of the
Legislature. But indeed some apology may be
inadeafor Mr. WAITIINIAN On this occasion,- which
is not venally applicable to his
.public exertions in

posed at the Meeting, contained the seeds of ciiscard,
and are generally supposed to have been carefully
