satin, placed crosswise, and ornamented with buttons. A broad
belt of white satin encircling the waist, and fastening behind
with a rosette and one short end. The hair arranged in the
antique cameo style, and surmounted by white ostrich feathers.
Gold ear-rings and chain of novel and exquisite workmanship.
White satin shoes, and white kid gloves.
WAIL IN G-D Ss.—Pelisses of corde de Paris, of lavender
colour, fastened down the left side, towards the front, with bows
of broad riband of thesame colour. Round the border is a superb
trimming of ermine, and a tippet of the same costly fur is worn
with a dress fitted best for the carriage or the public promenade.
A correspondent bonnet, lined with white satin, and a plume

of Pomona green Morocco, d la gibiciere, ornamented with gold;
half-boots of corded lavender silk, and lemon-coloured kid

CUPID CARRYING PROVISIONS.

From ILLUSTRATIONS of Antique Gems, by the Reverend
GEORGE CROLY.

The God is laden with two baskets suspended from a pole
across his shoulder, and trudging on with a heavy look to-
wards the ground. -
There was once a gentle time
Whenne the worlde was in its prime;
And everie day was holydaye,
And everie monthe was lovelie May.—
Cupid thenne betide but to goe
Writhe his purple winges and bowe;
And in the blossomede vale and grove
Everie shepherde knelte to Love.
'Thenne a rosie dimplede cheeke,
•
. • And a blue eye fonde and tneeke;
And a ringlette-wreathenne browe,
Like hyacynthes on a bed of snowe ;
And a lowe voice silverre sweete
From a lippe without deceite;
-Onlie those the heartes coulde move
Of the simple swaines to love.
But thatte time is gone and paste ;
eanne the sumerre alwayes laste ?
And the swaines are wiser growne,
And the hearte is turnede to stone,
And the maidenne's rose may withere,
Ctipide's fled, no manne knowes whitherre !
But anotherre Cupide's come,
With a browe of care and gloome ;
Fixede upon the earthlie moulde,
Thinkinge of the sullenne golde ;
In his hande the bowe no more,
At his backe the householde store,
That the bridalle colde must buye;
Uselesse now the smile and-sigbe :
But he weares the pinion stille,
Flyinge at the sighte of ille.
Oh, for the olden true-love time,
:When the worlde was in its prime!

ELOPEMENT.—A young Frenchman, of good
exterior, but of desperate fortune, lately found
means to ingratiate himself with a respectable
English family residing at St. Omer's. About a
week since he induced one of the daughters, a
young lady about '2l years old,and who, as he well
knew, will shortly be in possession of consider-
able property, to elope with him. They crossed
the Channel, followed immediately by the bro-
thers of the young lady, but the fugitives having
the start, the pursuers were over too late. Al
Calais the former had embarked in the steam boat
about half an hour previous to the arrival of the
latter, who instantly put to sea in an open boat.
At Dover the same ill luck followed them ; no
trace of the foreigner's narpe could be found in the
port registry, and they had no resource, left but
to make the best of their way td the metropolis,
where they arrived on Thursday morning. Im-
mediate assistance was given by the proper au-
thorities, and at a late hour on Thursday night
the parties were traced to an hotel in Duke-
street, Manchester-square, where they were sur-
prized by the young lady's brothers, to whose
care she was consigned, while the gentleman was
provided with safe lodgings until yesterday morn-
ing, when he was liberated on bail. The case
will shortly be brought before a tribunal by
which the offence will be cognizable.
An account has been received of a slight im-
provement in the health of Madame CATALAN!,
and that there is still a prospect that this ce-
lebrated songstress will return to England, to
fulfil some of her engagements during the pre-
sent season. _ _

The most dreadful charges of infanticide have
been established against a midwife at Longwy.
This wretch used to admit females in a state of
pregnancy to her house, and for a certain reward
undertook to carry the children to the hospital,
but invariably murdered them... The police, upon
getting information of the circumstance, repaired
to the scene of blood, and in her gardens found
buried the bodies of several murdered innocents.
She has been sent to prison to take her trial for
the crime.—(French Paper.)
