FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER.

[From the World of Fashion.)
The extreme warmth of the last month has prolonged the
existence of white dresses; which may, be rendered more or
less recherche by coloured trimmings, lace, or embroidery.
The form of walking dresses will vary very little until the au-
tumnal fashions are decided ; they are extremely full, chiefly
en redingote, and rather longer than a pretty foot requires.
MAKE AND MATERIAL OF MORNING DRESSES.—Over the

tight corsage a pelerine or mantilla is indispensable ; these as-
sume various becoming shapes, suiting the peculiar tournure
of the figure. We have seen several edged with a ribbon
ruche, corresponding always in colour to the trimmings of the
bonnet. Pelerines with long ends are generally trimmed with
one or two rows of lace, (a style which gives finish to the
simplest costume) ; a redingote of white cambric or jaconet
worn with this pelerine should be edged round with three nar-
row tucks, each trimmed with lace. Silk-lined mantillas, or-
namented richly with lace, continue in favour with those ladies
who dread any imitation of their dress in humbler materials.
The
.fichu ala paysanne is the newest mode. Simple and
becoming, it appears the peculiar property of youthful grace :
the material is clear muslin, plaited in large folds en evantail
on the bosom, and from each shoulder to the waist behind : it
has no collar; the plaits are brought to a point, fixed very
tight, and the hem edged with narrow lace. Round pelerines
have a coloured ribbon drawn through a wide hem ; the collar
should be deep, and ornamented en suite; a ruche of tulle
round the throat, the ribbon passed through and tied in a little
bow in front.

PROMENADE DRESSES AND PEIGNOIRS.—Ist. A negligje of
Scotch cambric, white ground with variegated sweet peas.-
2. A redingote of jaconet muslin, lined with blue sarsnet,
opening in front over a muslin skirt embroidered en tablier ;
the upper dress trimmed all round with muslin, edged with
narrow tulle ; the muslin quilled rather full ; the tulle edging
quite plain demi negligée redingote of white organdie embroi-
dered with a rich pattern of needle-work, and lined with
primrose silk ; the whole dress trimmed with white lace ;
girdle and fichu of Scotch ribbon. Primrose, green and black
cuffs are worn with every style of long sleeves ; infinite variety
appears in their form and trimming—some pointed and rising
half way up the arm—others round and falling over the hand.
FASHIONABLE MATERIALS OF THE MONTH.—White foulards
with coloured flower!.--2. Thin cambric made in exact imi-
tation of the above ; fine jaconet muslins, with cashmere de-
signs, in very delicately shaded tints.-3. White muslin, re-
markably' clear and light, with little roses and sweet peas
twining over it.-4. A plaid Bros de Naples—the colours
green, rose, and brown. As autumn advances, these silks will
become very fashionable.-5. A clear white muslin, with wide
rays of thicker substance, worn over a skirt of some delicate
colour, producing a pretty effect. —6. Gros de Naples chine
is already in request for autumn pelisses. Negligées of plain
pour de soie are likewise preparing for ladies who intend re-
maining late at the sea side.
HATS AND BONNETS.—Rice straw was never more in vogue
than at present for carriage and promenade hats ; a bouquet of
flowers is usually placed in front of the crown, another under
the brim : very rung ladies sometimes add a little garland,
en niche, encircling the face like a cap-border. Feathers are
likewise used, they are either placed en bouquet, or of larger
size drooping on one side; a crape lining is most fashionable,
and the plume may be tinted en suite ; but white feathers are
decidedly the most recherché. Capotes are made of the same
material, also of white crape with gauze ribbons, covered with
a light flowery pattern, and a pale rose-colour capote of very
peculiar form, ornamented with two sprigs of eglantine. For
the sea-side nothing is more appropriate than the French fancy
straws, trimmed very simply with a large bow, two bands and
brides of coloured ribbon. There is something remarkable in
the cut of a fashionable dress hat; the crown oval and rather
large, the brim evase, but not showing the division of the hair.
SHAWLS AND SCARFS have been remarkable this season for
good trade, brilliant in colour, and light in texture ; they give
a finished effect even to cambric peignoirs ; the painted satins
continue in favour. For evening shawls with morning dresses,
the Scotch patterns in foulards and French cashmeres are very
fashionable.

One of the largest mahogany planks ever seen in
this country, is now in the warehouse of Messrs. W. Grant
and Brothers, Cannon-street, by whom it was received about
a week ago, as a present from a friend in Batavia. It is cir-
cular in form, the diameter one way being eight feet seven
inches, and the other way eight feet three inches. Its cir-
cumference is about nine yards, and it is about an inch and a
half thick. Mr. W. Grant, we understand, intends to have
it made up into a table, and when finished it will, no doubt,
be perfectly unique.—Manchester Courier.
SANGUINARY AFFRAY.—We regret to state that
a sanguinary affray took place on Wednesday last, at the fair
at Dromagh in the county of Cork, in xhich three lives have
sacrificed on the battle field, and two women, assailed while
endeavouring to escape, now lie at the point of death. This
horrible display of factious barbarity occurred between the ri-
val factions of the Davies on the one side, and the Kelihers
and Driscolls on the other, and was, like most other such en-
gagements, the result of previous arrangement. On Friday
Mr. Reardon, coroner, held an inquest on the body of one of
those unfortunate victims to the prevailing barbarity, named
Keliher, when a verdict of wilful murder was returned against
several persons unknown. Our correspondent suggests, and
we coincide in bis opinion, that as the fights so regularly held at
this fair, are conducted by Kerry people, unknown to the
County of Cork Police, it would be advisable to order thereat
in future the attendance of the police from the contiguous sta-
tions in the county.—Kerry Herald.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday week whilst
Thomas Brady, an Irishman, (who has come for the last eight
years to Mr. Stepenson's, of Carlton, for the purpose of doing
harvest work, and by his good conduct and industrious habits
bad obtained tho respect of Mr. S. and family,) was engaged
in yoking the horses to the thrashing machine, having put the
machine in motion, he unthinkingly attempted to pass the
wrong way, whereby he became entangled with the crook,
which fastens the horse, and was so pressed by the end of the
swingletree against the corner of one of the pillars, that a
dreadful laceration was produced, which allowed a protrusion
of the bowels, and some of the other viscera. The surgical
aid of Mr. Clark, from Aldborough, was speedily procured,
who, not without difficulty, replaced and retained the displaced
parts in their proper situation ; 'and though every thing was
done that science could dictate, or humanity suggest on the
part of Mr. S., yet the poor man lingered on till Friday morn-
ing, when death terminated his sufferings. An inquest was
held on the body the day following, before Arthur Iveson,
Esq., when a verdict of Accidental Death was returned, with
a deodand of Is. on the horse and yoke.—Hall Packet.
