FASHIONS FOR JULY.

(From the London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of

Fashion.)

MORNING NEGLIGE.—Robe of batiste de laine, pous-
slam with fichu of plain cambric, and ^cllar a chale, and
plain manchettes. Fancy straw bonnet edged, and with
plaid ribbon ; scarf of black silk, with frill of the same.
TOILETTE DE VisrrE.—Robe of barege in pattern
of pale colour, corsage and sleeves a petites cou-
lisses, and deep tucks edged with fringe. Black
taffetas scarf, with ruche. Bonnet of crape fronce
violette of lace and flowers, corresponding with
the dress ; handkerchief with inlets of Valenciennes,
manchettes and collar trimmed with Valenciennes. The
corsages continue to be made tight, and with points ;
corsages grand' mere a l'Amazon, with gimp trimmings,
and those a chale or revers, are also worn ; for young
ladies they are generally square, or with folds, and in
thin materials they are made a coulisses. Tight sleeves
still maintain their ground, but they are variously orna-
mented, and the small gigot of moderate fullness at the
shoulder, and tight on the lower part of the arm, is
fashionable. _ _ _

Generally speaking, tucks have replaced flounces,
though they are sometimes used for tall figures ; tucks
are frequently edged with fringe or lace, or folds rise en
tablier, en echelle, or in a wave ; for silk pink ruches
are used, and on muslins, inlets of Valenciennes, and
embroidery.
Dresses of pink or blue organdy, worked in tambour,
with silk of the same colour, are very pretty for public
dejeuners. Organdy of deep blue are quite the rage in
Paris. .
Scarfs continue to be worn in every variety ; the most
elegant are of lace, Ottomane velvet, and real cachemere,
with plain centres and pines ends, or figured in Asiatic
bouquets ; then follow those of foulard, shaded silks, barege,
muslin, &c. &c. The newest and most fashionable style
of pocket handkerchief is with inlets of Valenciennes
all round. Bonnets are now much ornamented, lace and
flowers intermixed ; the form continues small, partaking
very much of the capote. Straw bonnets, trimmed with
velvet of two colours, with ruche inside, are pretty.
Leghorns are mostly ornamented with lace, or wreaths
a la Ceres, in poppies, daisies, &c. : honeysuckle is also
seen, but the most elegant are those of hydrangea in
every colour.

LOSS OF THE WILLIAM BROWN.
(From the Boston Atlas.)
Captain George L. Harris, of the ship William Brown,
of whose melancholy loss our readers are already in-
formed by the intelligence from Europe, called upon us
yesterday and furnished us with several facts relative to
that vessel, which we have never seen stated, and which
we deem of sufficient interest to warrant their publica-
tion. The Captain speaks of his mate as naturally a very
humane man, and of his crew as being " as good a one
as he would ever wish to sail with." He is of opinion
that their conduct has been judged of rather too harshly,
and somewhat prematurely, and states several things
which, although they do not, to our mind, justify all that
is alleged to have been committed, will still go far to-
wards palliating, what, but for these circumstances,
would seem unnecessary acts of cruelty. He states
that the first mate, with about forty others in the
long-boat, and himself, with the second mate and se-
veral others in the jolly-boat, remained attached by
a rope to the vessel until she went down, when the
ropes were cut. Just before parting with the Cap-
tain, the mate suggQsted that, owing to the crowded
condition of his boat, it would be necessary to draw
lots as to who should be thrown overboard to save the
remainder. The boat was so crowded that it was impos-
sible even to use the oars, and in imminent danger of
being swamped by every ware. Captain Harris replied
that he did not wish to anticipate this event, and begged
the mate not to do so until found to be indispensably ne-
oessary. He also states, what is certainly a strongly
pal-
Hating circumstance, that the passengers, having been
awakened too hastily to be able to save any portion of
their clothing, were nearly entirely naked, that they %vele
