FASHIONS FOR MARCH.
( From La Belle Aseemblee.)
BALL DRESS.—Round dress of amber coloured crape, a
puckering of gauze of the same colour at the border, finished
by rouleaux, wadded very full of white .hatin, with full blown
white roses, and a few leaves of green foliage: under each rose
is an antique ornament of the rosace kind, composed of white
satin, with a tuft of amber in the interior. The body of this
beautiful dress is of satin, and is elegantly diversified by white
silk cordon and tine blond; the front of the bust is finished by
a narrow falling tucker of blond ; and the shoulders ornament.
ed by bows of white satin ribbon. The sleeves are white, and
are trimmed to correspond with the skirt, except that the flowers
are left out, as an unappropriate and troublesome trimming to
that part of the dress ; they are, therefore, finished by the rou.
lcaux in points, with the r maces in the centre of the sleeve, in.
circling the arm. The hair is, arranged a la Sappho ; and
round the besbrian braid at the back part of the bead, is placed
a wreath of full blown roses and laurel leaves. The ear-rings
and necklace are of tine pearls; the ear-pendants superbly sett,
Stuns of white satin, and white kid gloves.

POETRY.

FRIENDSHIP,

By Mr. STOCKDALE HARDY
FRIENDSHIP ! why what is a friend P
One who soothes another's woo,
And strives to cheer,
The desart drear,
Which once in beauty smird,
And many an hour beguil'd,
When blest with those we lov'd below
FRIENDSHIP ! can'st thou e'er be cold P
Can'st thou lose thy genial heat ?.
Can'st thou ever,
From thee sever
Those who bent with cares and grief,
Stand in need of thy relief,
And ask, assistance at thy feet ?
FRIENDSHIP ! can the Widow's tears,
Can the Infant's lisping pray'r,
Unheeded be,
By one like thee,
Where once affection's
Cheer'd a faithful Husband's toil,
And dwelt with pleasure there?
Oh, no ! in gloomy times like these,
Thy social influence thou wilt spread,
The. tortur'd mind thou'lt strive to ease,
The Widow cheer—the Infant lead.
'Tis now as menfry calls thee back,
To scenes once hlooming.—now forlorn,
Thou% scorn engagements to forsake,
Which on thy Altar once were sworn !

THE TrleArac.—The Tragedy of King John
was represented last night at Covent-Garden.
Theatre. Mr. MAcat.tny performed the part of
the gloomy hero of th,• piece : it very well cor.
responds with his usual style of acting, anti his
performance altogether was impressive.---Mr. C.
KEMBLE has always been admired for the gal-
lant spirit which auimated his assumption of
Faulconbridgc, and that spirit was brought for-
ward last night with unabated energy.—Mr.
BENNETT, who had previously appeared at this
Theatre in the part of Richard the Third, was
the Hubert on this occasion, and he represented
the character so well as to prove that he is likely
to hold a very respectable situation ou the London
Stage. Mrs. OGlLvie had been announced as the
intended. Lads Constance, but the part was sup-
ported by Mrs. PAM; who was not wanting in
energy. We did not hear that any explanation
of the change had taken place. Surely, how-
ever, the want of explanation was a want of due
respect to the audience, many of whom might
Purposely attend to winless the performance of
Mrs. OGILVIE, as she acquitted herself very re-
spectably in Queen Catherine. The house was
well attended, and the audience seemed to be
very well satisfied with the general merits of the
representation.
