SPANISH BONDS.

The following letter has been received by Richard Thorn-
ton, Esq., as Chairman of the Meeting of Spanish Bondholders,
held at the City of London Tavern, 18th July, 183 4, inclosing
a copy of a communication from M. Martinez de la Rosa to
the British Minister at Madrid :

" Foreign Office, Sept. 29, 1834.
" SIR--With reference to the memorial of the parties inte-
rested in the Cortes Bonds transmitted by you to this office
on the 22d July, and to your letter of the 25th July, explana•
tory of the proceedings of the meeting at which that memorial
was agreed upon, I am directed by Viscount Palmerston to
transmit to you, for the information of the memorialists, the
accompanying copy of an official letter from the Minister of
Finance to M. Martinez de la Rosa, communicated to Mr.
Villiers by the late Minister.
" I am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant,
(Signed) " J. BACKHOUSE.
" To Richard Thornton, Esq."
Translation of a Letter from the Spanish IVinitter of Finance
to Monsieur Martinez de la Rosa, communicated to Mr.
Villiers 17th September, 1834:
" I have taken into consideration the translated memorials
which your Excellency caused to be laid before me by the
Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, as presented by'
various parties interested in the Cortes loans, and addressed
from London to her Majesty the Queen Regent and the two
houses of the Cortes. In the Chamber of the Procuradores,
the discussion respecting what is to be done on the subject of
these very loans is now actually proceeding, and until a deci-
sion is come to, it is out of the power of this department to.
make any arrangement with regard to the interests of the
memorialists; but your Excellency may assure these parties
that they shall be regarded with that consideration, which
is due to Great Britain, and which, at the same time, shall be
as consistent with equity and good faith as is compatible with
the painful condition of Spain at this moment, arising from the
circumstances of the day and the well-known poverty of the
treasury."

FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER.

(From the World of Fashion.)

ENSEMBLE OF PROMENADE DRESSES.—The redingote is
still the most recherche style ; and though many of our dis-
tinguished fashionables wear the sleeves full to the wrist, this
mode is by no means universal. The half-tight-sleeve is often
seen, and serne,:recherche dresses have just appeared with
the .long sleeve separated below the elbow by a narrow
bind, the 'second division gathered into a straight cuff.—
Brandenburg,iss and rich embroidery, braiding and tassels, are
already intro raced On several autumnal pelisses. A little mus-
lin collar,-falling over the cape or pelerine of...the dress, is
fastened byel'iihbon corresponding with the strings of the
cloak.--or trimming of the dress. Pelerines are not worn long,
except the dress .ss velvet on satin. The most fashionable
shape for walking 'dresses is very high behind, thrown open in
front, and crossed over the bosom like a shawl ; it is cut
round behind. - Nothing is so universal, as neglige costume
by the sea side -or in the country, as a white cambric peignoir
and muslin chemissette, with a little fancy apron of Scotch silk,
Indian foulard gros de Naples. A straw bonnet without trim-
ming of any kind, tied close under the chin. A dark 'Tibet
shawl, and boots of corded grey silk. Lined muslin peisises
are still worn. The straw bonnets having 'bands and brides
corresponding with the lining. Scotch cambric redingotes
are generally .tririciriecl with a quilling of fine muslin;" this,
when edged with narrow Valenciennes lace, is very elegant.
The Dieppelace.is likewise used fOr morning dresses.
EVENING `DitE's'sEs.--=These likewise assume the 'redingote
form, but is fell -dress the skirts usually open at the side, and
is richly trimmed ; the sleeves remarkably full, short, and di-
vided into separate bouillons ; a low drapery over the bosom
falling very deep on the shoulders ; this cape is of beautiful
lace, and gives great effect to the brilliant tints of the dress;
if the dress consist of muslin or any other transparent material,
the cape may also be- formed of and edged with blonde, or a
ribbon ruche ; the. skirt should always:be en suite.
DISTINGUISHED DRESSES, which will be worn during: the
month.—A robe of. delicate rose-colour muslin (a new India
material) trimmed down the open front with a quilting of lace,
surmounted by three plaits of rose-colour glace ribbon ; under
-the dress, a pin4silk skirt, with double 'plants of lace above
the Tio'rid hem ;' an embroidery of white rages finishes this
beautiful trimming. A dress of the finest white muslin,
ornamented with five falls of lace, headed by a light
embroidery ; corsage a la Niobe, the centre marked
by jewelled studs. A white crape : hat,' , extremely
evase, hauing a tuft of heron's feathers in front of
the crown, and brides of white ribbon stamped with rosebuds
and foliage. Scarf of French tulle, embroidered en suite. A
robe of rose-colour silk, made in the redingote 'style, the
ground covered with a very small design in white, and trim-
med entirely round with a double ruche of rose-colour satin
ribbon, separated by a white satin band ; the corsage very low,
and covered with a white blond p6lerine. The hair dressed
in full ringlets at each side, waving curls mingling with the
braids behind ; garland of oak leaves.
SHAWLS AND SCARFS.—SiIk shawls are rather pass 6 for
this season. A very warm, light material is just introduced
called the Thibet ; tartan shawls will be fashionable during
the autumn for neglige wrappers. The carmelite brown is
a very favourable and distinguished tint, the border rich and
deep ; the cashmers are still ornamented with palm branches,
their own appropriate design. White scarfs andlong shawls
of cashmere are particularly adapted to this demi-saison : they
are also fashionable in green and black ; the newest pattern,
perhaps, is that where the palm branches rise from each corner
of the shawl and twine together in the centre (this design is
only admired for evening costume.) Ribbon scarfs have be-
come essential appendages to a fashionable toilet : we observed
a very pretty one worn over a simple dress of white muslin, it
was plain ribbon, black cherry-colour and green. Satin scarfs,
with embroidered end, will be worn in full dress this month ;
for very young ladies, nothing is prettier than a scarf of coloured
French tulle, the ends ornamented with a deep fringe, usually
white.

PREVAILING COLOURS FOR THIS MONTH.—CheITy, emerald,
and sea-greens, pearl grey, chocolate, and a peculiar shade of
blue: rose and citron are used for linings.

„
HATS AND UAPOTTES.—No decided change has as yet taken
place in the form of the, hats. The fronts are worn to sit back
off the face, and are rounded at the sides ; and the crowns are
high and pointed, or nearly so, at top ; and the silk or satin
put on in folds, and mixed with the riband. Flowers, al-
though still worn, are on the decline, except beneath the
fronts of the hats; for this purpose, a small wreath crossing
the brow, or two little bouquets of very minute flowers, are
preferred to all others. Short veils are still fashionable ; they
are put on the edge of the front of the hat. Drawn capottes
are in high favour at present ; they are made of poux de, soie
glace, or of crape, and are ornamented with gauze, or rich
satin ribands, and a veil for full dress; hats of paille *le riz,
trimmed with satin, are preferred; feathers are frequently to
be seen in these hats.

FLo WEBS.---Flowers, as I before observed, are on the de-
cline ; but those that continue most in favour are Easter daisies
of mille couleurs, carnations, roses, scabious, and woodbine.
For wearing in the hair, a wreath of very small mixed flowers ;
as wild rose-,, sprigs of heath, jasmine, myrtle, forget-me-not,
daisies, &c.
LINGERIE.—In this departnient of the toilette, our belles
wear as much embroidery as possible ; the pelerines, collars,
and handkerchiefs, are really exquisite. Ruffles, as I told you
in my last, are becoming very prevalent, and are likely to re-
main in fashion all the winter. They are worn rather narrow,
and are trimmed with lace at one or both ends.

POMPADOURS, both long and short, continue in high favour.
Some of them, as I have already told you, consist of two annes
of white satin riband ; they are fastened at the neck by a brooch,
and the ends descend beneath the ceinture ; others pass the
ceinture but a little way, whilst others' again either fasten be-
neath it, or do not reach it quite so far. The " pompadours"
are one of the prettiest accessoires de toilette that have been
in fashion since the "sentiments" of Madame de Sevigne, and
which you know also consisted of a riband worn round the
neck. The pompadour and ceinture should match.
SHOES- —Black polished or glazed shoes arc becoming very
fashionable, especially in walking or carriage costume. Bronze
kid, or peau Anglaise, are also worn. In dinner dress, black
satin are those generally adopted, and in grand toilette, white.
MITTENS AND GLOVES.—bong
silk mittens are still prevalent, and likely to continue so. In
walking dress, orange, pale yellow, and cream-coloured kid
gloves are adopted.
COLOURS. —The prevailing colours are violette de parme,
caliban (a very dark brown), chocolate pink, gris de souris (a
kind of silver grey), and, vert fromme.
