FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER, 1841.

(From the World of Fashion.)
BONNETS.—Drawn bonnets of apple, green
.pou de sole. ~;
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-
Aerial ; thus we see those of Italian straw 'of a close
form decorated with a small lace veil, which entirely.,
.1
covers the brim, and is retained at the 'ears on each side
by' a knot, of green taffetas ribbon. Rice straw bonnets
with very king brims trimmed with white feathers,
shaded with blue, and a small veil of English point hate,
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.
SHAWLS AND SCARFS.—Lace shawls and those of em-' •
broidered muslin, have resumed their vogue. White •
cashmere scarfs have made their appearance ; they area
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 i•
full in the centre.
CEINTURE ECHARPE.—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.l
round the waist, and the ends, which are always made
a little broader, fall as low as the knee.
SILK LOBES IN HALF-DRESS have corsages tig.ta, or-
else, if they are drawn, the drawings are arranged in s
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 At, in the lappol
style, or those opening en cmur. 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, are 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 et'
the head : the material is arranged in a. very light style.
but one for which our language has no words,--so
must adopt the French words chiffonnee • the trimming
is composed of. maize-coloured ribbon, disposed rather
sparingly, andin a very light style.

PROTEST.
The following Protest against the Amended Address
agreed to by the House of Lords, has been drawn up
and signed by the Duke of Sussex. It will, no doubt.
receive the signatures of many other Peers favourable to'
free trade :

DISSENTIENT.
, .
1. Because we are adverse in principle. to all restraints,
upon commerce. We consider that public prosperity i 4
best promoted by leaving the national industry to flow-in
its natural free current ; and we think that practicd,
measures should be adopted to brine, our commercial
legislation. back to a straight and simple course of Wi3-
dom, instead of continuing a system of artificial and in-
jurious restriction.

- 2. Because we think that the great principle of leav-
ing commerce unfettered, applies more peculiarly, and
on the highest ground of justice, to the trade in those
articles which constitute the sustenance of the peopllet

ness of price, nor any of the other benefits anticipated
by the advocates of those Taws ; while, on the other
hand, all the evil' consequences predicted at the time hi
those opposed to monopoly have been realised.• •
3. Because the, practical effect of the variable :scale _,
i_v•
duties has been to introduce a system of speculative

averages, in order to enter corn at the minimum clutio•
It is impossible, under this system, to ascertain whether
sales are real or fictitious, and it is well known that dot.
ing the last two years the averages have been raised by
bringing for sale, into the principal markets (lithe kills—
dont, only the best qualities of corn, and that the Merl''r
grain has been withheld from those markets until th°
high average price reduced tho duties to niinimum
