FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER, 1841.

(From the World of Fashion.)
BONNETS.—Drawn bonnets-of apple green you de soie.
with the exterior ornamented with a demi wreath of
velvet foliage, in various shades of green, and the in-
terior of the brim trimmed with moss rose buds and rose
coloured ribbon brides are fashionable. Lace retains its
vogue ; it is adopted for bonnets of every different ma-
terial ; thus we see those of Italian straw of a close
form decorated with a small lace veil, which entirely
covers the brim, and is retained at the ears on each side
by a knot of green taffetas ribbon. Rice straw bonnets
with very long brims trimmed with white feathers,
shaded with blue, and a small veil of English point lace,
retained at each side by a small sprig of blue flowers.
The most remarkable of the silk bonnets are those of
pea green gros des Indes, decorated with white ostrich
feathers shaded with green, and a lace voilette, disposed
partly on the crown and partly on the brim. Gauze
bonnets are partially covered with lace ; and crape ones
with lace draperies, arranged in novel and elegant forms,
have lost nothing of their vogue.
SuitsvLs AND SCARFS.—Lace shawls and those of em-
broidered muslin, have resumed their vogue. White
cashmere scarfs have made their appearance ; they are
of exquisite fineness, the ends finished by a beautiful
cashmere fringe ; they are likely to become very fa-
shionable. Silk scarfs of the material of the dress are
now quite out of favour.
CORSAGES OF MUSLIN ROBES IN HALF DRESS.—The
prevalence of canezous has introduced various forms of
corsages for half dress robes, which are rendered ex •
tremely pretty by entre deux casings, bouillonne, and
various other ornaments. Among the robes of this de-
scription, those of organdy, of the very clearest kind,
lined with pink, or sarsenet ; the border trimmed with
four deep tucks, also lined with sarsenet. Some have
the tucks edged with narrow lace, set on with a little
. fulness ; others have the tuck surmounted by a small
tulle ruche ; the last style of trimming has a very pretty
and novel effect. The corsage is drawn in small casings
from the waist to the bosom ; the upper part is not
cased, but drawn full round the bust, nearly, but not
quite, up to the throat. The sleeve is of the small
bishop form, drawn both at top and bottom, but mode-
rately full in the centre.
CEINTURE EcuAßPE.—They are adopted only with
muslin and argandy-robes, and are always of the mate-
rial of the dress. The scarf is narrow, and either trim-
med with a broad hem, through which a ribbon is run,
of the colour of the lining of the robe, or else it is
edged with narrow lace. The scarf is passed twice
round the waist, and the ends, which are always made
a little bioader, fall as low as the knee.
SILK ROBES IN HALF-DRESS have corsages tight, or
else, if they are drawn, the drawings are arranged in a
kind of gerbe that is very advantageous to the shape;
but, upon the whole drawn corsages are seldom adopted
for silk dresses. These corsages are generally trimmed
with lace, which is mostly disposed 'Aat, in the lappel
style, or those opening en cieur. If the sleeve is made
long, it is, almost always tight, and we must say that
these sleeves have, in some instances, a very undress
appearance, being made without any ornament. They
are, however, more frequently decorated with fancy silk
trimmings, which still continue in the highest vogue.
EVENING HEAD-DRESSES.—Those of hair ornamented
with flowers are now more general than they were last
month. Those a la Vierge are the most in vogue.
Ringlets, however, though not in a majority, arc quite
as numerous as bands. Caps and demi-coiffures, though
not so generally adopted last month, are quite as fashion-
able. Those of white tulle are adopted in half-dress
only. are extremely small, scarcely covering the back of
' the head ; the material is arranged in a very light style,
but one for which our language has no words,—so we
must adopt the French words chiffonnee ; the trimming
is composed of maize-coloured ribbon, disposed rather
sparingly, and in a very light style.

UNEMPLOYED OPERATIVES OP PAISLEY
AND RENFREWSIIIRE.—A, county meeting On this sub-
ject was held on Thursday in Paisley, when it was
agreed that a subscription should be entered into for the
purpose of relieving the existing distress. Several
sums, varying from 51. to 1004, have already been sub-
scribed.

CURIOUS LOVE AFFAIR..-- The following
circumstance happened a few miles west of Midsome
Norton, about twelve months since ; A young Ulan
and woman, quite strangers to each other, were acci-
dentally placed by the sexton of a parish church in the
same pew. During the course of the sermon the young
man read love in the eyes of the lady,_ which made a
greater impression on his mind than did the lecture of
the pious minister. As love, although blind, is neverat
a loss for expedients, he presented the maiden,_ whose
charms had so attracted him, with a strip of Paper,
bearing the following portion of Scripture, taken from
the Second Epistle of St. John, sth verse :—" And now

PENSIONS TO Da. NSTER AND MR. CA-
REY.—We rejoice sincerely in the opportunity which the
• eminent has given
outgoing gov -- us, to state that two gen-
tlemen, every way unexceptionable, have obtained
small ones,
pensions— we believe—for the pension list
has been sadly cut down—but still sufficient to mark
the feelings of the Queen in regard to the individuals in
question—both poets, one, our fellow-citizen Dr. Ans-
ter, who has given tis the best translation of the Faust of
Goethe ; and the other Mr. Carey, the best of Dante.—
Dubl;n Evening Post.
CHINESE ECCENTRICITIES.—Nothing can be
more novel, rich, and diverting to us of the Western
world, than a picture of the absurdities which (though
they have hitherto been carefully concealed from us)
characterise the people of the " Celestial Empire." Thcir
very name.; are jokes, and their actions are more prepos-
terous than can be conceived ; as is abundantly shown
in a new work, which has just appeared, on " Life in
China," called " The Porcelain Tower," so named after
one of the ridiculous public edifices of great altitude,
which the Chinese with a perverse industry have lately
erected in Crockery-ware. Love, jealousy, anger, am-
bition, war, pride, and other emotions, which in Europe
are serious matters, assume in China a drollery of aspect
1 which, to the last degree, is provocative of irrepressible
laughter. This book will be the greatest treasure to the
lovers of merriment than has appeared for many years.
The weather since our last has, on the whole,
much improved, but the nights are still moist and un-
favourable. Last night rain began to fall about ten
' o'clock, and it has continued heavily since. We ob-
serve occasional stooks in our neighbourhood, but har•
vest, even with the best weather, will not be general fo
at least ten days or a fortnight —Glasgow Argus.
