FASHIONS FOR NOVEMBER.

( From the World of Fashion Monthly Magazine. )
PELISSES will be fashionable in different materials, as silks,
satins, and plain fine merinos. Some of the latter made with
the corsages high, and dose to the shape, and closed before
by a single row of gilt buttons; the sleeves are full in the
centre, but confined by a tight cuff fastened by buttons to cor-
respond Gilt and fancy buttons will be in request for dresses
of this kind during the ensuing season.
SPENCERS —This fashion, so long laid upon the shelf, will
be revived this winter, both for carriage dress and for the
theatres ; those adapted for the first will be of velvet, made
high and close, and trimmed either with expensive fur, or
fancy silk trimmings. The others will be of light-coloured
satins, opening in the shawl style, but trimmed, instead of a
pelerine, with a bouillon of tulle, edged with a row of bloni
lace. Large sleeves trimmed at the top with bouillons of tulle.
CLOAKS.—Thcre is a grand distinction made between those
intended for carriage or promenade dress, and those employed
for evening wraps ; the majority of the first are confined at
the waist with cords and tassels in the pelisse style, and made
as long and ample as usual. Short cloaks are most in favour
for the latter.

HATS J1:,1) BON NETS. —A decided diminution has taken
place in the size of both. Nothing is more elegant for half-
cress than a velvet bonnet oT a small and rather close shape,
something between a cottage and an open front ; a bouquet of
short shaded feathers is placed on one side, and a few small
flowers, sometimes intermixed with blond lace, and sometimes
not, decorate the interior of the brim.

SHAWL MANTELETS.—The velvet and satin shawls so much
in favour last year have been again revived with chenille fur,
and black lace trimming, but the novelty of the moment, the
shawl par excellence, is the shawl mantle; it is of the usual
farm, !Alt disposed in front on each side in folds in such a
manner as to supply the place of sleeves.
FORMS OF ROBES IN EVENING DRESS.—FIat corsages will
be most in favour. Corsages draped en co3ur will not, howe-
ver, be laid aside ; indeed, the fashion is too pretty and be.,
coming to be easily abandoned ; but whatever form the upper
part of the corsage may have, it must terminate in a point. If
the sleeve is longt, the Victoria form will remain in savour ; if
short, it may be light, with a trimming of the manchette kind,
or else disposed in small bouillons. 'I he skirts are decidedly
wider than those of last year.
TRIMMING FOR EVENING ROBES.—Feather fringe and flowers
will be in equal favour ; embroidery is expected to lose nothing
of its vogue, and flowers, though they have been so long in
request, will continue as fashionable as ever. But the trim-
ming expected to be most in request is old fashioned point
lace.

EVENING HATS are now composed of either velvet or Terry
velvet, shallow in front and wide at the sides, they are always
crnamented with ostrich feathers either plain or shaded, but
the latter are preferred.
BONNETS A L'Ect_Atft, leave the forehead exposed, allowing
the ringlets, in which the hair is always dressed with this cap,
to fall over the temples ; but a rouleau of riband, edged with
blond lace, forms a diadem over the forehead, and is placed
very far back.

Last night, about seven o'clock, a dreadful acci-
dent happened to Mr. Kater, of Albany-terrace, and member
of the Portlevor Club. The unfortunate gentleman was
passing through Hyde Park, when the horse he was driving
took fright, and proceeded at a very rapid rate through the
Park towards Knightsbridge, where it came in contact with
two other gigs. Mr. Kater was thrown out with fearful
violence, and taken by some policemen to St. George's
Hospital, whore it was found he had received a compound
fracture of the skull, and but faint hopes are entertained of
his recovery. The horse and gig proceeded in a very damaged
state for a considerable distance.

ROBBERIES.—Sunday night, from the house of
Mr. Fulford, law-stationer, No. 3, Serle's-place, Carey-
street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, a silver watch, double-bottomed,
engine-turned, with seconds hand, the initials E. F. on the
back ; a gold seal, with white cornelian stone, and gold key,
attached by a silver chain ; a coral negligee ; a gold ring,
with inscription, " The gift of E. F. F. to his mother ;" a
ring with two diamonds ; two guineas of George 111. in good
preservation ; tbree sovereigns ; 1/. in silver, consisting of
shillings and sixpences; and two fourpenny pieces of the pre-
sent reign. On Friday, from Boughton Monchelsea, Maid-
stone, Kent, eight pockets and .an end of grape hops, marked
with a Kent horse, the weight, and G. and W. Tomkin,
Boughton, Monchelsea. About midnight a green or dark-
coloured one-horse van was observed near the prethises. A
reward of twenty pounds is offered for the discovery of the of-
fenders. Yesterday morning information was given to the
various police-offices and station-houses of a robbery having
been committed under the following novel circumstances,
at the church of St. George's, Hanover-square :—A person
of the name of Frederick Chapman, who officiated as the de-
puty clerk of the above church, absconded on the 29th inst.,
taking with him about seventy pounds, the property of the
vestry, and about the same sum belonging to Mr. Powell, the
clerk. hoppers that some parochial business is transacted
every Monday in the vestry-room, and at the close of the bu-
siness on Monday last, the place was closed as usual, but for
the purpose of obviating any inconvenience, a duplicate set of
keys of the various drawers were kept in a cupboard, which
Chapman by some means obtained possession of. It is sup-
posed that he returned and opened the desks, and having se-
cured the money, re-locked the doors. He then proceeded to
the shop of a grocer, a few doors off, and left the keys, saying
that Nlr. Powell had forgotten to take them with him, and
that he would be obliged if they were sent in the course of to-
morrow (yesterday). This was done, when suspicion was in-
stantly excited, and the robbery was discovered.

A number of men have been employed at North-
wich during the past week in excavating the earth,
and in endeavouring to find the bodies of the three
unfortunate men buried in the fallen ruins. On
Tuesday traces of the smith's shop, in which they
were at work, were discovered, and the vice, anvil, hammers,
scales, and weights, and other tools dug out, as were. also
jacket and hat of one of the sufferers. The engine gearing
and other machinery have been discovered ; they
