PARISIAN FASHIONS.
Ladies' dresses are at present trimmed in three different
manners, each of which may be considered equally fashionable
flounces, rushes, and tucks or plaits cut bias. Full bodies are
very generally seen. The bonnets worn by young Ladies are.
chip, rice straw, split straw, or of tissu de cotou. Leghorn and
silk bonnets are ornamented very frequently with the American
rose, from the brilliant centre of which pqeps forth a small por-
tion of dark green moss. Fancy bonnets are mostly trimmed
with watered ribbons of two colours. One of these ribbons is
puckered up into the form of a shell, on which a flower is
placed ; his ornaments the front Of the bonnet.

Thursday, previous to the dinner at Glasgow,
some of the minor tradesmen waited on Mr.
Buono HAM, to present him with a mark of their
esteem. It consisted of a small Quaigh, or
Drinking Cup, formed , from the yew, which,
according to Scottish story, grew near Cruick.
stone Castle, celebrated es the residence of
.the beautiful but unfortunate QUEEN MARY.
The expence of this little token of regard was
defrayed by a subscription of sixpence each
person. It was mounted in silver, and its form
was antique. Round the edge was the follo*ing
inscription :
" Presented by a few- of the Tradesmen
sq. 1t1.P., Sept. Henryenry Brougham, of Glasgow to
11, 1823."
On another part of the Cap were these lines—
" This relic of Queen :Harps yew,
By Cruickstone's Castle lonely grew;
Its spreading boughs of foliage green
'Oft shelter'd tutsw '$ beauteous Queen."
On the handles were the initials IL H. 8.,,

Art thou a thing otmortal birth,
Whose happy home is on our earth ?
Does human blood with life einbtie.
Thoie wandering veins of heavenly-blue
That stray along thy forehead fair,,
Lost 'mid a gleam of golden hair?
Oh ! can that light and airy breath
Steal from a being dodiked to death ?
Those features to the grave be sent
In sleep thtis mutely eloquent?
Or, art thou, what thy form would tutu,
The_phantoni of a bleiheil dream'?

Oh 1 that MY spirit's eye could see
Whence burst those gleams of extasy
That light of dreaming Soul appears
To play from thoughts alit* thy years.
Thou smirst as if thy soul were soaring
To heaven, and heaven's God adoring !
And who can tell what visions high

What brighter throne can brightness find
To reign on than an infant's mind,
Ere sin destroy, or error dim,
The glory of the Seraphim ?

Oli ! vision fair I that I could be
Again, ss young, as pure as thee I
Vaiti wish I the rainbow's radiant form
May view, but cannot braie the storm ;
Years can betlim the gorgeous dyes
That paint the bird of paradise,
And years, no fate hitch ordered, roll
Clouds o'er the summer of the soul:

_ CRICKET.
The Watch for a wager of 100 Guineas, between eleven Gen-
tlemen of Hackney an eleven of Aldgate, was on Thursday
contended for amidst a vast concourse of spectators, on Hack-
ney Downs, as follows :
HACKNEY. ALDOATE.
Ist Innings 67 lst Innings - 71
24 ditto - 49 24 ditto - 37

- •
The Aldgate at the same time having 4 wickets to go down.
In justice to' the Hackney 'player', we cannot help observing
that they were disappointed of four Gentlemen, who were ori-
ginally entered on the list, and, in consequence, were obliged
to elect four young persons on the ground, very inferior
players, to make up the number; but notwithstanding, the
game was well contested, the most perfect harmony prevailed;
and all parties separated, much delighted with the day's re-
creation. The third and last match, to ascertain the con..
querors, will therefore he played in the same place on Thurs-
day next, if the weather should prove favourable—Much sport
is anticipated on the occasion.

SHOOTING EXTRAORDINARY.
An irietance of skill in shooting, equal to the following
match, has very rarely been recorded. It'took place on Thurs-
day, in Ilford 'Meadow, Essex, between a Mr. Tyre and Mr.
Adam Arrowsmith, the celebrated :pigeon shot, at twenty-
one sparrows each, fifteen yards from the tip.' It was merely
an honorary match, rather than thertmount of the stake, and
Mr. Tyre's party fancied they had the best of it, and backed
that Gentleman freely. It however, came nil otherwise. Mr.
Arrorrstifith killed the Whole of leis twenty-one sparrows, and
his opponent killed eighteen. At a festive. board, after the
match, a Gentleman challenged any shot in England, to meet
the winner at twenty-one sparroWs, the like number of pigeons,
re a day at field sports:
