FASHIONS FOR JULY.

From the Londen and Paris Ladies' ilfrtgazine of

Fashion.)
Pompadours watered, or satin, mousseline and batiste
de barege with foul.lrds, are favourite materials for sum-
mer wear : organdys broches, pra;rie, and ma;bre mus-
lin are most suitable for bals chanopetre,clejeunees, &c.
There is but little variation in the make of dresses ;
the corsages cut en V, continue in favour, with the
sleeves moderately full, though tight sleeves arc not
without their advocates in Paris, and a kind of double
sleeve has been introduced ; flounces for demi-toilettes,
evehing, or negligees, but biais are often preferred to
flounces or bouillons. Redingotes are made with cross-
ing bodies and muslins, are often full—a is Vierge—
tr►mmed with a broad lace, "and ceinture of wide ribbon
or taffeta scarf, with long fringed ends, encircling the
waist, with ❑mud in front, and ends reaching to the feet.
Many new pelerinei and cannezous have appeared

this season in Paris, some buttoning up close to the
throat ; the Beg,uines collerettcs also button to the
throat, terminating with a very email collar of square or
rounded corners,.which turns over a cravat or velvet
ribbon ; the collar is a little open in front, and trimmed
with lace, which descends ; the habit shirt, as a frill,
being delicately embroidered above the lace. One of
the new fichus is full behind, and with three folds in
front, and is trimmed with a small double ruche—ruches
are much in favour.

For bonnets, the materials are always crape, organdy,
straw, paille de riz, L-ghorn, poult de soie, tulle, or lace ;
the colours are green, lilac, paille, blue, and the trimmings
ofgauze, checked ribbons, lace, Toilettes, forming lappets
on each side, shaded marabouts, flowers in bunches,
wreaths, demi-guirlandes, and large feuillage and flowers
of mixed colours. Many Leghorn, are of close forms,
with low crowns, the front sometimes a little turned up,
trimmed with paille ribbons, or demi•guirlando of Parma
violets or wreath of hawthorn, falling low at the ears.
Copotes of tulle, particu!arly if spotted, are petty with
pit k or blue ribbon passing through the runners.
Plaid scarfs are worn again, and shawls and scarfs of
embroidered silk, with fringe to match the colours.
The muslin bournous, lined with gauze in pale shades of
pink or blue, trimmed all round with lace, and having
hoods to place on at pleasure, form elegant out-door
toilettes. Some organdy shawls are embroidered in
coloured worsted, with fringes to match. Silk fringes
aro sometimes substituted for lace on the muslin hour-
nouq, in pink and white, blue and white, according to

ie lining.
Vehet spencers and bodies, also watered silk ones,

aro twos.. wish salaite Very- protty 1461. oap. erre
made for neglige, composed of•-balf-bandkerchiefs of
tuf o, trimmed tvith lace, supported on either side by
small pompons of gAuz2, and nmuds of ribbon.

BIRTH OF THE SULTAN'S
DAUGHTER.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 8 —For a whole week past
every body here has been mad with joy. We had been
wa'ting for nearly two months fur the Sultan to have a son
and heir, and when, on the 3lst of May, it was announced to
t' c public that the child barn was" a:girl" something
like general disappointment was the consequence. The
young Sultan, however, must have been pleased to became
a papa at last, though only of a girl. He was so long in
acquiring the paternal title that he must have begun to
apprehend that his favourite lady, like the Oriental ques-
tion, was destined to an eternal statu quo. The little
princess is called Mcvhcbc Nejibe Sultan, and I suppose I
must tell you the meaning of the euphonic name. Mevheve
is the gift of God (under the feminine gender), Ncjibe is
illustrious, generous (also in the feminine), and Sultan,
when after the name, means Princess, as pieceding the
name it means Prince, in Turkish. The young lady being
the first born of her illustrious father, became entitled to
seven days of rrjoicing, the ships of war during the whole
of that time, each dressed out with flags, fired a royal
salute five times a day,'- a troop of mountebanks entertained
collected thousands at Dolmabaksbee by their tricks and
tours de force, and at night we had fireworks and illumina-
tions, both respectable in their way. The quantity of
rocks s let off absolutely, as Paddy would say, obscured
the sky with their effulgence. On Wednesday evening,
by an unlucky accident, a large quantity of loos! rockets,
&c., took fire, and ten or a dozen people were more or less
mutilated. One of them was Soulier, the chief of the
circus and other public diversions; instead of confiding
himself to his horses, he must needs meddle with the fire-
works, and he has paid very dearly for his folly, remindin;
everybody of the old adage—".Ne sutor,* &c.—Corrc-
spondent of die .Malta Times.

We are happy to state that our advocacy in fa-
vour of a Relief Fund for the Coast Guard has been successful,
and the measure will come into immediate operation.—Naval
and Military Gazette.
DOGS IN CIIINA.—the of the greatest nui-
sances a traveller meets with in many parts of China, as well as
upon the island which is supposed bow to be the sphere of our
imaginary excursion, is met in the everlasting " yelping" of the
cowardly curs that haunt almost every dwelling. Fierce with-
out courage, and fearful without the sagacity of kindness, they
keep up an incessant bai king from the time of your appearance
till long after you are oat of sight. Neither the threats of the
master, nor the proffered friendship of the stranger, can pacify
them fora moment. Amidst the noise thus made, the guest
and the host can scarcely hear each other speak; and some-
times this is so intolerable, that I have cut short my visit, and
departed very abruptly. Some who have visited similar situa-
tion have dealt blows among, or hurled stones at, these peace-
breakers, which affronts the Chinaman without taming his dog ;
a practice I seldom adopted, for fear of undoing all that gentle-
ness and good humour might have done for me. Now and
then I would pursue the terror-stricken brutes with my hat or
my bag, as if I meant to carry them off, which generally excited
a good deal of mirth among the bystanders, and alleviated the
nuisance of these unwelcome salutations. As these dogs are
rot trained for any purpose, nor caressed or educated as pets,
one is ready to ask what are they good for ? To this the China.
man replies, by telling you, that, when young and delicately fed,
they compose a dish more savoury and tender than a young pig.
Besides this, they are excellent alarums, and never omit to give
notice of danger : thus they warn their owners by their fear,
though they cannot protect them by their courage.—London
Saturday Journal.
TWEED SALMON FISIIINGS.—The take of sal-
mon in the fishing waters in the lower part of the Tweed has
been this season scarcely so plentiful as at the same time last
year ; and in consequence of this, joined to the circumstance of
the northern fishings being also less productive than usual, the
prices during the last two or three weeks have been higher
than at the same period for two or three years past. The
grilses. which are usually taken in great abundance in the
month following this, are now almost daily becoming more

rilke have much pleasure in confirming the re-
Ourt that Rear-Admiral Sir James Alexander Gordon, K. C. 8.,
will be appointed to succeed Sir:Jahleel Brenton, Bart., K. C. 8.,
as Lieutenant- Governor of Greenwich Hospital, the latter gall ant
and esteemed officer retiring on half-pay.—Naval and Mili-
tary Gazette.
MILITARY INSPECTION BY PRINCE ALBERT
ON Woitarwoen SCRUBS.—Monday forenoon an inspection of
the household cavalry, consisting of the Ist regiment of Life
Guards, the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), and 'the 9th Royal
Lancers, took place before his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Prince George of Can--
bridge, and a brilliant staff, on Wormwood Scrubs. During
the manceuvres some boys and a female, regardless of repeated
cautions, got in front of the line, and were rode over. Prince
Albert on seeing their danger sent one :of Isis equerries to
ascertain if any of them were injured, and we are happy to say
the whole escaped with only a few contusions.
THE BUONAPARTE FAMILY.--,The following ,
from our correspondent's letter, dated Paris, June 27, will be
read with interest :—" It is stated in the best circles that the
removal of the prohibition against the residence of any of the
members of the Buonaparte family in the French territory has
been decided upon by the Cabinet, but that the conditions
have not yet been settled ; and it has been resolved, it is
added, not to bring this question before the Chambers until
after the funeral obsequies of the Emperor. Unfortunately the
echaufferie of Strasbourg has rendered difficult what would have
b:er. otherwise a mere matter of eourse, and guarantees will

have been thought of."
