GENERAL :OBSERVATIONS ON FASHION 'AND DRESS.
.--Several,new materials, .coraposed.of silk, with •a mixture
of Caslituerp wuol,..have ,appeeted for mantles, also some
satins of,peculiar zichnese, .fhnd.a'reps in imitation of Terry

handkerchief, its point descending below the waist, but not
a great tdeal.,,, It is roupded, irk, front, of moderate size,
and clpsed• from the throat .to. the waist, where .it. opens,

.it is . either• embroidered in- silk,.of: a -„darkdr .sbade, or
'tritnnied with velvet bands of a colour contrasted with that
of the cloak but'in'tbii latter case 'the Collar always c0r,.1
respends'with the mantle, or else is O'f black velvet. Vt_
netian: sleeves; and those of the Mameluke form, seem
equally in request. Boas and large round fur pelerires are
both in favour. .Sable is the most decidedly fP.shienable
fur ; ermine is only second to it.
A few carriage bonnets have been made in velours
epingle and peluche. Some of the former are of that new
and beautiful shade of red, the colour of a red currant.
These bonnets are trimined either with white ostrich feathers
or with plumes parrachees ; the latter are adorned with
white satin ribands, spotted either with cherry colour or
with azure blue. The brims of bonnets are deeper ; they
are also worn long and close at the sides ; but it is not ex-
pected that this form will continue long in favour. We
have seen a few emerald green and lemon-coloured pou de
soie bonnets, trimmed with ribands to correspond, and at;-.'
intermixture of black real lace : the latter was disposed in
a kind of drapery intermingled with knots of riband on one
side of the crown, and a row of it attached at the bottom
fell over the brim.

Poplins, Cashmeres, both plain and of new patterns, and
various kinds of elks, have appeared for half-dress. As
yet there is little alteration in the form of robes, but the
eorsagc:s offer a good deal of variety : some are crossed in
large folds, others with draperies set on. A good many
aro of the corset kind, that is, cut in three pieces, and
sitting close to the shape : there are also several a la vierge,
retained by embroidered entre deux, or ribands. Sleeves
offer the same variety : we see some extremely large, and
others quite tight ; these latter are, however, ornamerAed
with bell mancherons ; they are composed of throw or four
folds laid one over another, and arranged in thr, shape of a
bell. Generally speaking, the size of sleeves is certainly
much reduced, and they are for the most part made quite
tight at the upper part, the lower extremity of this tight
piece being ornamented either with embroidery, ruches, or
falls of trimming. This style is to a certain degree advan-
tageous to the shape ; at least it is more so than the gigots,
whioh had the effect of making all our clegantes appear
high-shouldered.

Several rich materials, composed of a mixture of silk
and wool, both in quadrilled and flowered patterns, have
appeared for half-dress, and also Fame superb silks in the
style of those worn in the early part of the last century. It
is expected, also, that, when the season opens, velvet will
be very much in request. Trains and demi-trains are again
talked of, as also open robes with low tight corsages only
half covering the la,:isom, and displaying an under corsage
either of satin., br of the same material as the petticoat, or-
namented in various ways with riband. The robe; will be
trimmed with ruches, coques, bands of platted riband, and
in various other ways. All this, however, is but anticipa-
tion ; and though we have strong reasons to believe it will
be found true, yet we are too well acquainted with the
caprices of the mode to pledge ourselves for its accuracy.
One revolution, however, we may announce with confi,
deuce, for it has already taken place ; we mean ttlat in tY.,e
form of caps : those flat on the forehead hP,:ve given place
to the more voluminous fronts a, la Mair:ienon. Adieu to
the pretty simple peasant's cap, one "of the most generally
becoming that ever was introthic;:d. We shall see what
Fashion will send ua in its pine; for as yet all we can say
is, that caps are made hir;lier in evening dress, but their
form or forms is not definitively settled. We have, how-
'ever, sen some that we have great reason to believe will
be fashionable ; they are the bonnets a la Valliere, com-
posed of blond, and made to sit very backward : the front
forms an aureole round the face, surmounting the tufts of
curls in which the hair must be arranged with these caps.
We have to add to the colours we gave last month, the
shade of red already mentioned, and some new shades of
grey and brown.

The plate-chest and other valuable lup-6age of a family
residing in Waterloo-crescent arrived Dover by land on
Tuesday morning from Sheerness, 'flaying been saved from
the wreck of the Red Rover, which vessel they were being
conveyed from Lobdon, when she was struck by the Magnet.
A useful, black pony, the property of Mr. Weaver,
of this city, was in the course of Wednesday night, wan-

is supposed, whilst turned out to graze in a field.—Worces-
ter Herald.

Last year the price of potatoes supplied to the work-
house in Kendal, as per contract, was 4s. Gd. a load—this
year the contract price is 9s. Gd., and to Milnthorpe work-
house 10s. per load. This says something as to the bet-
tered condition of the farmers ; but it forbodes, we are
afraid, a season of severe privation and suffering to the
peon—Kendal Mercury.
SUFFOCATION.—James M'Mahon, of Kings-
court, was suffocated while on his passage in the Irishman
steam-boat, from Liverpool to Drogheda, last week. The
night was cold, and he went into the engine-room to warm
himself, when he was shortly afterwards found (lead, having
imprudently lain down to sleep too near the boiler.—Liver-
pool Chronicle.
