A WALKING DRESS.

A blue dress-coat, with very small gilt buttons, blue velvet
collar, skirts without flaps and lined with silk serge. Waist-
coat:single-breasted, with square end collar, and lapellers turned
back. Trowsers of chequered kerseymere, buttoned up in front
with two rows of black braid up the side seams.
A RIDING OR WALKING DRESS.

A green Harrington frock, double-breasted, with full rolling
collar, the turnover of which is of minx fur; the cull's are of the
same, and the edges bound with it.

AN EVENING DRESS.

A milled drab brown great-coat, the edges are made up raw
or swelled; a trimming braid is then run on at about a quarter
of an inch from the edge; the pockets are put in with a welt
nearly perpendicular, and in the French manner—viz, half and
half.

ADDITIONAL NOVELTIES IN GENTLEMEN'S DRESS.
At this season of the year there is not much novelty in mate-
rials for gentlemen's dress, the manufacturers being chiefly em-
ployed in catering for the spring; therefore the same patterns
continue with little variation. Still we have observed some
new casinets for trowsers : they are mostly fawn colour, with
broad check formed with a small black stripe. For waistcoats,
the shawls seems to be of smaller patterns, and the larger ones
left to the shops, most of which are nothing more than the
broad shawl borders, which have been long since a dead stock in
the hands of the linen-drapers; the patterns arc in general the
shell. There is also imitations of the Thibet shawl, for waist-
coats, which is in the mixing of cotton and silk as a substitute for
the fine hair of the Cashmere goat. A judge of these things
easily detects the cheat by the feel.
Alterations in the cut and make, viz. the fashionable dress
coats are worn without flaps, waists rather longer, hip buttons
wide apart, back wide across the shoulders, buttons thicker on
the breast and rather smaller ; sleeves short, and to fit the arm;
skirts rather longer; collar low and longer, but same breadth as
last month.

TROWSERS.—WhoIe fall down ; bottom not so large, made

broad collars, and they are mostly worn turned down.

For DRESS WAISTCOATS w•e see nothing but single-
breasted rolling or turn.orer collars ; the buttons of both cannot
be too small.

FURTHER PARTICULARS from a CORRESPONDENT.
We observe that the mantles en rouillieres are now most in
favour. They are made with a dcmi-pelerine and arm-holes.
The robe de chambere of an exquisite is, at this moment, the
part of his dress that engrosses most of his attention. The
most novel are of great richness and elegance. Some are of
poil de chevre printed in large patterns; others are composed of
printed circussienne ; there are some still more elegant of me-
rinos, or rich spotted silk. They are wadded and lined with
silk. The shawl part and the cuffs are of peluche. Some arc
made to fit close to the shape, and have the front fastened by
three flaps; others are of the Carrick form, fastened at the
waist with a runner, or a belt.

Black coats are always most in favour. Some are made
without lappels rappertes. The most elegant waistcoats arc of
plain black satin. They are made with straight collars lined
with pinceau.

The most elegant redingotes are those which have a single
row of buttons, and pocket-holes, which open obliquely in front.
The next in favour are those with long skirts and large lappels.
Redingotes which have a shawl collar, cuffs, and a border of
fur down the front, are coming into favour, but we do not see
them generally adopted.

Pantaloons that fill straight, and are trimmed on the sides
with bands of the same material, are always in favour. Hats
with brims of a moderate size, and nearly flat, and crowns a
little pointed, are the only fashionable ones, particularly in full
dress.

Some cashmere waistcoats are of palm patterns ; others of
small flowers. These waistcoats are made of small schall-
sautolrs. The most fashionable morning gloves for gentlemen
are of knitted cotton ; thelivourite colour is gris de perle.
The most fashionable costume for balls is a black coat and
pantaloons, and a waistcoat either of white Marcella, plain
velvet, or black satin.

Redingotes in gris houte are most in favour at this moment ;
they are of immoderate length, and have the pockets always
placed lengthwise in front of the skirts. The polonaises of blue
cloth, arc very numerous—they are trimmed with square gauses
and flat braiding
