FASHIONS FOR JANUARY.

(From the London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.)
PROMENADE DuEss.—Manteau of cachmere broche,
trimmed with fur, with large sleeves ; the pelerine mantelet,
trimmed all round with fur, and fur collar. Bonnet of white
velours epingle, with ostrich feathers ; and muff of fur to
match the trimming on cloak.
CARRIAGE DRESS.—Robe of broche silk, with pelerine
trimmed with two rows of black lace, forming.a point in
front ; long tight sleeves, with two rows of black lace above
the elbow ; two rows of black lace.Fe placed quite at the
bottom of the skirt. Bonnet of green velvet, with feathers.
EVENING DRESS.—Robe of blue velours epingle ; the
corsage a point, and trimmed with folds of satin and den-
telle de sole ; tight sleeves with double manchette and
bows. A very novel and pretty trimming descends the front
of the skirt, composed of satin riband and dentelle de sole.
Turban of velvet, with bird of Paradise.
BALL DRESS of satin broche ; the corsage is plain, with
a twisted trimming round the top, and en cceur ; long
sleeves, with bouffant divided in the centre by bow and
ends ; the skirt is finished with a trimming en bouffant, and
riband. Coiffure ala Minore, in long ringlets, and very
low behind.
OBSERVATIONS.—Tight sleeves arc very general, but
continue to be ornamented with nceuds, bouillons, or riband ;
they seem to be gaining ground over the large sleeve. In
full dress the skirts are very long, having a tendency to a
train, and flounces are much worn. The ceintures are worn
very narrow, not above two and a half fingers in width, and
the backs of corsages are never plain, except in full dress—
all others are full from the waist.
Mantelets of sati❑ wadded, and velvet, trimmed with fur
or lace; divide with shawls the claim to fashion. Some are
seen, particularly in velvet, trimmed with bullion fringe.
Many scarfs are worn of plain white cachmere, lined with
white or coloured taffety, or with plaited satin ribands,
which latter trimming is suited to young people.
The bernouss is also a novelty amongst cloaks ; it is made
of satin in every colour, and trimmed with lace. Cloaks,
mantles, and pelerines of white satin are very elegant for
the Opera.
Beads will be much used this season to ornament dresses ;
on velvet they have an excellent effect.

The Prince de Joinville, third son of the King of
the French, who had made three voyages at sea, and had
been in consequence raised to the rank of Capitan
de Fregate, was to leave Paris early in the present week,
to embark on board the Hercules, first-rate, of which he is,

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES-SITTING OF DEC. 30.

The chair was taken at half-past one o'clock by M.
Bedoch.

The Ministers of Justice, of Public Instruction, of Com-
merce, and the Marine, were present.
Messrs. Felix, Real, .jaubert, and Piscatory were pro-
claimed Secretaries of the Chamber.

M. Bedoch then delivered the following address :
" Gentlemen and Colleagues, this is the third time that I
have been called by my seniority to the honour of presid-
ing over you ; but in exercising these functions on the pre-
sent occasion I have experienced painful sensations which
will remain impressed upon my heart to the end of my days.
These sensations were equally felt by you, when a horri-
ble attempt against the happiness of the whole community
was made by an attack upon the person of the King of the
French almost before your eyes. We have gone together
to lay the expression of our grief at the foot of the Throne,
and although I may not have found words of sufficient
force to express it suitably, you will soon have an organ fully
worthy of you.—(Hear.) Your labours are about to com-
mence under his powerful direction. May they, through
the gravity of your deliberations, give to the laws that cha-
racter which commands respect, and confines evil thoughts
in the depths of the hearts capable of conceiving them. This
is my desire and my hope."
M. Bedoch, and the temporary Secretaries, resigned their
seats.

M. Dupin, and the new-elected Secretaries, took their
places.
The President then addressed the Chamber as follows :

" Gentlemen and Colleagues—The honour conferred
upon me by the Chamber, by entrusting to me for the sixth
time the direction of its labours, this new suffrage of my
colleagues so dear to my heart, which, in preceding sessions,
excited in me pride and gratitude, is this day mingled with
the sadness into which we have all been plunged by the re-
newed attempt against the person of the King.—(Hear,
hear.) Providence, however, Gentlemen, frequently, in its
wonderful designs, out of evil produces good. Although
these baneful attempts surround the Throne with danger,
they at the same time elicit from the Prince a courage so
noble, such a total abnegation of the man to display the
King alone, that we arc surprised by finding the gradeur of
the monarchy increased, and the dynasty consolidated,
even in the bosom of danger, by the conviction it creates in
the minds of every true Frenchman that they have at present
at their head a monarch such as the nation delights in—a
King full of valour and magnanimity.—(Cheers.) A few mi-
nutes only elapsed between his appearance amongst us and
the attempt from which be narrowly escaped being a victim
and yet you saw with what firmness he took his place
on the throne erected within this hall, fulfilled his Royal
duties, assisted by his Ministers, and entertained the
Chamber with the affairs and interests of the State.—
(Hear, hear, hear.) Following his example, Gentlemen,
let us, although our hearts arc again filled with mourning,
think of the duties imposed upon us as representatives of
a great people who have entrusted to us the maintenance
of their interests and the defence of their rights. Occu-
pied solely with this idea, you will enter upon the questions
which will be submitted to you with calm deliberation,
without suffering yourselves to be diverted from the search
of truth, and, above all, with the sincerity required by the
country, and which it expects from you. Each of us is
deeply convinced that the Royal authority ought to be
strong, and that the inviolability of the King cannot be too
securely guaranteed. We shall therefore be always eager
to acknowledge and defend the constitutional prerogatives
of the Crown, at the same time that, as France has a right
to expect from us, we maintain our own free from encroach-
ment, and without being weakened, with that dignity which
gives value to unanimity and steadiness to the point of sup-
port. Gentlemen and colleagues, I have seen the Chamber
penetrated with one universal feeling ; may I see it ani-
mated with one and the same opinion."
The Chamber was then declared constituted, and the
President announced that the usual notice should be sent
to the Chamber of Peers.
The President read a letter from the Commander-in-
Chief of the National Guards, announcing that a detach-
ment would be at the disposal of the Chamber during the
Session.

The President drew for the Members who are to form
the deputation to wait upon the King in the name of the
Chamber with its congratulations on the new year. The
following are the names :--Messrs. Lefevre, Odilion Barrot,
Bodin, Crignon de Montigny, Generals Lamy and Leydet,
Emile Girardin, Harle (de la Somme), Goupil, Auberlin,
Sapey, Gucstier, Carriot, Bossiere, Bureaux de Pusy, Wa-
rein, Gen. Bugeaud, and Gautier Duzerche.
The President reminded the Members that the deputa-

tion would meet to-morrow (Sunday) at the Chamber, at
eleven o'clock, and that those who wished to join it at the
Tuillerics must be there by twelve.

BOURSE, HALF-PAST FOUR.—The arrival of three of the
London mails, and the expected success of Ministers in the
election of members to form the committee on the address in
the Chamber of Deputies, caused an improvement in our funds
to-day. The Five per Cents. were particularly in demand,
because of the increasing probability that they will not be re-
duced this year.
There being no news from the north of Spain, Spanish
Stock was not in demand to-day. The prices quoted are
merely nominal.

DISPATCH RECEIVED AT THE WAR-OFFICE.

The Constitutional Alcalde of Bujalance on the 15th in.
stant writes what follows to the Minister of War :

cavalry, a separate list of whose names I shall furnish you.
I likewise recommend the mounted National Guards, Lieu-
tenant Don Juan Espinoza, and the volunteers, Jose San-
tana and Jose Ximenes, who joined me at the pass of Baeza
with valour and enthusiasm.'
" The merit displayed by the worthy patriot Don Fran-
cisco de la Huerta in the above action cannot be appreciated
by any one but those acquainted with the position occupied
by the Cabicilla lurado in this district, which he so long
infested, and where, by fear or affection, he had gained the
protection of all the operatives, defying the vigilance of the
most lynx-eyed, owing to the information he hourly re-
ceived of the movements of his pursuers, causing innume-
rable robberies and destruction with his immortal band,
daily swelled by the dispersed stragglers of the band of
Gomez, after the action of Alcandete, as well as the fugi-
tives of the present levy, who joined him to sack the de-
fenceless villages. Their extermination is the more laudable,
as it was effected at the very beginning of Don Francisco
de la Huerta undertaking their pursuit, who, it is hoped,
will soon finish with this chieftain, the only one existing in
this Comarca, seconding thus the distinguished services ren-
dered to the country by the gallant division of General
Espartero, to which he belongs."
(From the Eeo del Comereio of the ‘24th December.)
Letters from Miranda (del Ebro) of the 17th state that
accounts have been received there from Biscay, asserting
that Villarael had arrived at Guernica, that the whole
country was much disgusted, and that the rebels said, if
they did not take Bilboa, they should retire to their homes,
and. there receive with powder and ball whoever wished to
drag them once more from thence. This disgust was in-
creasing, as it appeared that nothing was gained, and that
their wounded were dying.
They write to us from a village in the province of Va-
lencia, that the band of the archpriest of ANT., and the
other rebels who joined him, have been completely beaten
at Aras, and that our soldiers spread over the mountains
in search of the miscreants, and demanded the rations re-
quisite for their support from the adjacent villages, with
notice to deliver up such rebels as might have presented
themselves.
The band of the archpriest was the terror of the province
of Cuenca, and this defeat will be as agreeable to the natives
and the nation as destructive and death to the traitor Carlos.
Letters from Soria of the 18th state, that the political
chief has returned to that city, having accomplished the
object of his sally, by apprehending 30 dispersed rebels, 5
horses, and 180 dollars, which he distributed amongst the
captors—likewise some arms. The owner of one of the
horses has appeared, and received him back ; the rest, if
fit, are to be applied to the cavalry service, or to be sold
for the benefit of the captors. The band of Gomez passed
the western border of this province, closely observed by the
troops who accompanied the political chief, who, on their
return, brought in many of Gomez's deserters. We hear
that the division of Alaix fell on the rear-guard of Gomez
at Huerta, killed some, and gave no quarter, on account of
some atrocities committed by this chief at Fuente-Megie.
This province now enjoys the most profound tranquillity.
The Commandant-General has left this city with some
troops ; other columns have likewise marched out, and great
activity is shown in repairing the evils suffered by the pro-
vince.
Forty prisoners, taken from the band of Gomez in the
province of Guadalajara, arrived yesterday in Madrid, as
well as some deserters.

From Durango, the Court of his Silvan Majesty, a cor-
respondent writes—" Tired of reading the puffs of Don
Carlos's Gazette, though my position compels me to reside
among those people, I address you, to call your attention
to the tactics of that editor, inventing a thousand stories of
battles gained by the rebels in every part of Spain, and
quoting also the Madrid journals, as if these false and un-
founded news had been copied from them. I shall thus
void the ill humour this trick has caused me, by pointing it
to you, and thus rendering a service to the cause of liberty,
for which I sigh, but cannot render it any other.
" On the 30th of November, when Cabrera was shame-
fully routed , at Arevalo, by a force not one-third of his
own strength, those liars asserted that he had outwitted the
vigilance of the troops, and pursued his almost victorious
march.
" When Sanz arrived in this country, after experiencing
defeat upon defeat, the Gazette of this King in particular
said, that as the presence of General Sanz was expedient
for the operations of the Royal army, he effected it by a
flank movement, entering the province in defiance of the
pursuit of the enemy's troops.
" The misery of the rebel troops here is frightful ; de-
sertion cannot be prevented, therefor; which is frequently
repeated, but always attempted to be concealed.
VITTORIA, DEC. 19.—Gomez has at last succeeded in
penetrating into these provinces. In spite of the troops
who pursued him, and of those who marched hence to his
encounter, he passed yesterday the Ebro, at the bridge of
Horadada, one league from Ona. At the same village the
division of Alaix slept the same night, with an intention to
continue the pursuit of the rebels without halting. The
latter may be still:said to consist of cavalry, for exclusive of
two regular squadrons of these arms, it has two, mounted
battalions of infantry, who may be overtaken before they can
incorporate themselves with Villareal or Eguia. But whether
our calculations are right or wrong, we have a great advan-
tage in Gomez's return to this country, for the troops he
brings are so insignificant, as to be no addition to the army
of the Pretender, whilst, on the other hand, ours will now
receive a very considerable reinforcement, capable of com-
pletely annihilating it shortly, if, as we hope, operations are
well combined and executed on our part. In our opinion,
as soon as the divisions of Narvaez and Ribero arrive, the
best opportunity of beating the enemy will present itself,
by placing the Carlists between two fires of imposing
armies, and forcing them to battle in the midst of a blockade

(of Bilboa). However exaggerated the Carlist forces may
be, they will be now compelled to abandon the environs
of Bilboa, and to raise the siege of that heroic city, espe-
cially as Espartero lias taken the bridge and heights of
Castrejana, and to retire into Biscay. A thousand favour-
able chances present themselves now, which, if pursued with
prudence and energy, must and ought to terminate in the
destruction of the rebels. _

MV
According to the telegraphic despatches of this evening,
the provisional regiment of Cordova, commanded by Senor
La Garda, has beaten Gomez this morning. This news
does not deserve much credit, the distance between them
being considerable.
Somaniago, the Colonel of Salamanca, who, with six
companies of his regiment, and a score of horse, was at
Breviesca, had the finest opportunity of attacking Gomez
on his passage through Brujela, but did not think proper
to stir, sending only five horsemen to observe the enemy,
which paltry patrol, seeing that chief march in great disor-
der, approached him sufficiently close to take 20 odd pri-
soners, a number that would have been much greate; had
the Colonel marched with all his troops.—El Castellano of

the 24th Dec.
After passing the Ebro, Gomez is said to have been
beaten by Don Antonio La Garda, Lieut.-Colonel Major
of Almanza, and commander of a column formed to operate
in La Rioja, who make .50 odd_ prisoners, and the gallant
Zurbano taking 100 more.

" Most Excellent Ssnor,—At eight o'clock this morning I
received by an express a dispatch, dated yesterday, from
Don Francisco de la Huerta, a captain of the regiment of
Almanza, at present commander of the pursuing column in
this province, residing- at Dona Mencia, written from the
fdrm-house of La Morena, in the district of the city of Cor-
dova, of the following tenour :
" It is now five o'clock in the evening, and I have in my
possession 29 horses, lances, sabres, &c., with 20 dead
faccioso (thieves), and eight prisoners, without counting
those that could not be taken, belonging to the party of the
chieftain lurado, who, being well mounted, escaped me with
eight of his followers, without any other loss on my part
than the grief I feel at not having caught him, which I shall
do some other day.
" All this I submit to you, that you may, if you think
proper, bring this interesting service rendered to the cause
of liberty, and especially to the industrious labourers of this
agricultural district (campana), under the cognizance of her
Majesty the Queen, our Sovereign. I particularly recom-
mend Don Francisco Arjona, sub-lieutenant of the cavalry
regiment of Principe, who, with 30 men of his corps, left
me nothing to desire ; as well as Don Cefarino Gonzales
and Don Jose Maria de Paz, sub-lieutenants of the Com-
pany of Security, who; with 40 men of the valiant and de-
termined corps which I have the hoiour to command, at-
tacked with the bayonet, and at the same charge step as the
