the bottom with five rows of deep green wasted galloon ; the
bust is ornamented with three rows ; broad cambric muslin
ceinture edged with galloon ; five bracelets of galloon at the
wrists ; a band edged with galloon tightens the sleeve above
the elbow, so Lis to form an epaulette. Leghorn bonnets are
worn with garlands of corn flowers mixed with ears of wheat.

nut and citron. Parasols of straw colour, lined with purple,
and finished with embroidery and fringe. • Ilalf-boots to cor-
respond with the trimmings; and yellow gloves.
DINNER DRESS.—Gown of bright ruby Barege, with ruche:
of the same material. Two rows, one over the other, so dis-
posed as to form a crescent. • In the hollow of each crescent is
a stud, formed also of a ruche. A plain full ruche edges the
bottom ; the corsage is cut low, and ornamented round the bust
with a bouilloruf of the same material, formed into compart-
ments by narrow bands of satin to correspond. Short sleeves

WEYMOUTH, SEPT. 16.—0 n Sunday morning► last, the
Rev. Dr. Midge, Minister of Limehouse, and Lecturer of St.
Sepulchre, preached in the church of Melcombe-Regis, before
the Lord Bishop of London, and a very • numerous congrega-
tion. The subject of his discourse was the text from the 6th
chapter of St. Matthew's Gospel, and the 10th verse,—" Thy
will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven." The worthy Divine
treated this important topic in a style of argument and elocu-
don which convinced every understanding, and edified every
heart. In the evening the same Learned Minister, officiating
for our highly popular Lecturer, both read the prayers and
preached the sermon. The general 'satisfaction which he had
given in the morning, and the excellence of his oratorical
powers, attracted an immense congregation, so that every part
of the Church was crowded to excess. Upon the most moderate
calculation it is supposed that not less than 1,800 persons were
present, The text was taken from the sth chapter of the Qd
Book of Kings, and the 111th verse,—" In this the Lord pardon
thy servant," &c. The distinguished character of this zealous
Divine consists in the peculiar talent of a plain, direct, ani-
mated, and most forcible, address, which lays open the secret
recesses of the human heart, and causes the heinousness of sin
to flash before the guilty conscience. The !lemon evidently
made a powerful, and it is to be hoped, a lasting impression
upon the hearers ; for, during the whole of its delivery, (which
occupied upwards of an hour) there was a profound stillness
throughout the church, and the eyes and minds of all appeared
to be attentively fixed upon the preacher.—We feel much plea-
sure in having heard that the eminet services of the Right lion.
'l'. Wallace, one of our worthy Member, as Vice. 'resident
of the Board of Trade, have attracted the attention of his
Majesty, as well as the commercial community, and that the
Mastership of the Mint has been conferred upon him in the
most honourable and flattering manner, in the place of Lord
Maryborough, who is appointed to the -buck-hounds. The
services of such men to their country entitle them with the
1 universal consent to its best rewards.

FRANKFORT, SE PT. 11.—Ilet Royal Highness the Princess
Charlotte of Wurtemburg, bride of the Grand l)uke Michael,
has set out from Stutgardt for St. Peterburgh. She will arrive
about-the end of this month on the Russian frontier, where she
will be received by her future Consort and the persons who are
to compose her household. The marriage will not take place
till six months after her arrival at St. l'etcrsburgh.
On Monday next (Sunday being St. 3latthew's-day), ac.
cording to annual custom, the LouD IVIAYOR, Aldermen,
Sheriffs, and Governors of the several Royal Hospitals, will
attend divine service at Christ's Church. After a sermon by
the Key. Win. Granger Cautley, M.A., they will repair to the
Great Hall in Christ's Hospital, where two orations will be
delivered—in Latin, by Arthur Willis ;in English, by Charles
Cotton, the two senior scholars of the Grammar School.

Slit ROBERT WILSON.---We hear that Sir R.
WiLsoN has left Gibraltar for Cadiz. His three
daughters are in Paris. The eldest son is gone
to join ,the I.llh Light Dragoons in India ; the
next (who was on board the Bellerophon, as a
midshipman, when BUONAPARTE was conveyed
to St. Helena), is now a Lieutenant on a cruize ;
the third has joined'the flag-ship of Lord Coen-
RANE j and the fourth, we believe, is at school
at home.

Mr. BROWNE, an actor of considerable reputa-
tion at Liverpool, which has long been a liberal
encourager of theatrical merit, is to be added to
the Drury-Lane Company. His forte is Fops,
and the dashing parts of Comedy in general.
Miss PATON and her sister have been perform-
ing with success, during last week, in the Con-
certs at Exeter.
Mrs. GARRICK, the Lady at present engaged
at the Haymarket Theatre, is one of the near-
est surviving relatives, and residuary legatees
of DAVID GARRICK. This lady has a son
who, in hiS features, (especially the upper
part of his face), much resembles the great
" practical illustrator" of SHAKSPEARE.—
There are several masks of GARRICK extant;
one of the best is in the Picture Gallery of
MATHEWS, the actor, and the resemblance be-
t ween this mask and the face of young
GARRICK
is most striking.
The king's Printers in Scotland have applied
to the Court of Session for ao interdict against
the members of Bible Societies importing Bibles
into Scotland, and have issued summonses accord-
ingly to all the individual members. The action
is entitled, " Bill of Suspension and Interdict—
his Majesty's Printers against the Most Noble
the Marquis of Huntly and others." His Lord-
ship has not been singled out on this occasion for
the excess of his zeal in the cause, but the socie-
ties are charged alphabetically, and the Aberdeen
Auxiliary comes first, of which the Noble Mar-
quis is President.—(G/aigoze Herald).
GREEK GENEttosTv.--F"r Turkish women
had been made prisoners at Tripolitza, and were
sent to Hydra to be sold. But they had scarcely
arrived, when Condouriote had the noble gene-
rosity to purchase them for the purpose of .set-
ting them free, and restoring them
,to their fa-
milies at Constantinople. He sent them to the
Chief of the Island of Syra, recommending them
to his care in the strongest terms, and begging
him to treat them well. These women have ar-
rived here on board of the French vessel Silene,
and they praise very highly the -conduct of the
Hydriots and Syriots, who paid them all kinds
of attention.
