OBSERVATIONS ON THE PRESENT FASHIONS.

The newest materials for gentlemen's dress are, first, for
great coats, the napped Harrington, though a great deal
worn at present, is being fast superseded by the more fine
and smooth. faced beavers and milled superfine. ; they are
mostly double-breasted, with full skirts and broad lappels
and collars ; but there are still many made single-breasted
and without flaps. Capes to button and take off at plea-
sure are now much adopted ; they are rather large than
otherwise, being about fifteen inches deep behind, with
rounded corners in front; the depth in front is about
twelve inches. We must not omit to mention that large
cloak capes are in full demand, and constantly to be met
with at the turn of every street, worn by gentlemen of all
ages ; they are of blue or brown thick cloth, made very
full, and full a yard long. We beg to be allowed to say a
word in favour of this novel envelope on the ground of
economy, as its uF,,-; is not confined to the mere advantage
of walking the streets in ; but they form an excellent ap-
pendage to the common travelling cloak, by having buttons
on the one to fasten it on to the other.

In dress coats we have nothing new—same colours as
last month are favourites still, nor have we any alteration
worth naming in the rut or style, excepting that velvet
collars, and facings with silk skirt linings are much in re-
quest for dress coats of all colours.
Dress waistcoats are almost all of velvet, and made
single-breasted with rolling cellar, while morning waist-
coats are of cashmere shawl, or spotted swansdown, made
doub!e•breasted with all-down collar.

Trousers for dress are made with whole falldown gene-
rally; but morning trousers button up in front, having a
broad bearer tacked to the side seam, to prevent the front
gaping, and to bind the waist. The most fashionable stuffs
are the narrow ribbed and broad striped kerseymere in
mixtures and blue, with salmon and snuff drabs.

The Commissioners appointed by the three
Powers to trace out the boundaries of the new kingdom of
Greece, having completed the frontier line between that
country and Turkey, will be occupied during the winter
in forming a trigonometrical base on the plain of Arta, in
order that, as soon as the season will permit, they may
prepare au exact map of the limits of Greece, of which
two copies will be made, one for the Ottoman Porte, and
the other for the Greek Government.
The Israelites domiciled in the different pro-
vinces of Prussia have been hitherto ruled by distinct laws,
but it is in contemplation to effect a Reform dictated by
more liberal ideas. Several of the most distinguished Jews
of the capital have been consulted upon the regulations
about to be proposed, and have expressed their entire satis-
faction. It has been Austria and Prussia who made the
greatest exertions in the Congress of Vienna, and in the
Diet of Frankfurt to obtain the emancipation of the
