FASHIONS FOR JANUAIII.

From the London and Paris Ladies Magazine of

I%ashion.)

Materials shaded in rose dell:lac and poreelaine,
due with orange, on white, are the most fashionable
colours ; very elegant dresses are made in the latter
style, the pattern in orange on white satin or reps,
having the effect of gold ; they are trimmed with blond,
and scarfs to match. Many dresses are made of
the tunic form, which is sometimes of velvet on
dress of satin. Crape rays gauffre, called jardi•
nitre, is among the novelties of the moment, and
derives its name from the multitude of small
flowers of every colour, which form quite a parterre,
shaded with a thousand tints. Bieck lace dresses are
fashionable, lined with pink, yellow or lilac, with velvet
powers to ornament them. Pretty neglige dresses are
made en peignoir,of sarcenet, quilted all round about five
or six inches deep ; they are of dark colours, hued with
pink, blue, or the same as the outside, and arc worn with
under skirts of levantine or taffetas of red, blue, or
green, with a deep flounce, or quilted to match the
peigaoir. Robes de chambre and travelling cloaks
are made of worsted materials, with a band of silk

to line the edge. Manteaux for the evening arc with
hoods, imitating the shawl collar ; many cloaks have the
hood resembling the domino hood, trimmed with lace or
fur ; short cloaks have round lull hoods ; a Polonaises
have the pointed hood, with gimp trimmings. Many
of the short cloaks of velvet arc just now trimmed with
fur, with muffs to ►notch, orielle d'ours, ramoneur,
grenat are the favourite colours, lined with satin of the
same shade, and quilted all over in patterns.
Bonnets are a degrer larger, but they continue of
tho close capote form with low crown ; marabouts
matching in colour with the material are fashionable ;
velvet bonnets have also been made full.
Many pretty coiffures are formed of gold and velvet
ribbon, with resillcs of gold ; the newest coiffure is
composed of a fichu of point lace, bouillonne at the
back of the head, each bouillon is conqued by a leaf of
green velvet. Fauchonucttes of black or white lace
are worn, placed over the thou of hair, the points falling
near the cheek, mix with the curls and flowers.
Cannezous for dress are made of tulle, with applica-
tion of Brussels trimmings. The newest sleeve is that
termed mayenne, very tight on the lower part of the
arm, and w►dening moderately tot he shoulders. Scants
• of pink or blue satin are trimmed with pluche, imitating
chinchilla, and are very pretty for evening wear.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.

The young men, Wingfield and Kennedy, who were
charged with robbing Mr. Simpson, of RA:ain't-street,
and Messrs. Shrewsbury and Goodgains, otl'octon, in
Bedfordshire, silk-mercers (a report of which appeared
in The Sun of Tuesday), were again placed at the bar,
and the additional evidence adduced, in which, although
occupying the Court from twelve o'clock until five, no-
thing of public interest transpired.
A large assortment. of silk mercery, duplicates for
which were found in Wingfield's
,trunk, was produced
by several pawnbrokers, and identified by the prosecu-
tors as their property ; after which the prisoners were
fully committed for trial, and the witnesses for the pro-
secution, amounting to upwards of forty,' were severally
bound over to appear, and give -.evidence at the Old
Bailey.
Several of the pawnbrokers offered to give up the
property pawned, and requested that they might not be
bound over to appear at the Criminal Court, as in
many instances every one of their shopmen, were under
bond to appear as witnesses both in this and other
cases, and they must necessarily suspend their business
during the Sessions.
Mr. Chadwick Jones, on the part of the prosecutors,
said he feared the ends of justice would be frustrated if
their names were not entered as witneases ; however, if
it were at all consistent, he would only subrena those
whose evidence was indispensable.
