LONDON AND PARIS FASHIONS

FOR OCTOBER.

(From the World of Fashion.)
CAPS.—Les petits bonnets a la Paysanne are still
much in favour, having little or no trimming upon
the front; then we have those composed of lace,
and decorated with a wreath of toques of pink ribbon ;
ethers with an open foundation of English applique
lace, ornamented with a wreath of very light flowers.
A very charming style of fancy cap, which is worn
at the present moment, are those composed entirely of
fullings of Brussels lace of two colours; for instance,
pink and white, and pretty roses of the same colours
intermixed, or one formed of boullions of pink and
cerise coloured net, intermixed with wreaths of gera-
nium to match.

BoNNETs.—The most favourite material for the
present style of bonnets in the velours d'Afrique, and
white the prevailing one for afternoon dress ; they are
generally decorated with a weeping kind of graceful
feather; those in pale pink satin are also much in re-
quest, ornamented with wreaths of flowers peeping
forth from a tulle, and drooping in a bunch on each
side. The generality of bonnets are but very slightly
decorated; they are still continuing to be made very
shallow at the ears ; the crowns simply trimmed with
nceuds of ribbon.

EVENING DRESSES.—A dress of tarlatane muslin,
either pink, French blue, or white ; the corsage is
made very low and busque ; the top of the corsage
being encircled with a double plait of the same co-
loured satin ribbon as the dress ; the sleeves very small
and similarly ornamented ; the skirt a deux jupes ;
the upper one forming a tuiiie,--akd descending half-
way down the leg, and surrounded with a very
broad hem opening all the way up the left side, each
side of which opening being edged with a double plait
of ribbon ; towards the centre a bunch of natural
flowers of the same colours attach the two sides to-
gether, a similar bunch being placed upon the centre
of the top of the bust, and in the hair.
REDINGOTES.—Those a revers, and with the very
open corsage, will, we have no hesitation is saying,
continue a favourite style during the winter, if we
can judge by those new ones which have recently
appeared. Those we most admire are made in Pekin
silk gris perle; the facings of the body, sleeves,
and skirt being of pink plush, and corded with
grey and pink throughont ; the under dress up the
front in rich embroidered inlet, divided with Valen-
ciennes ; sleeves and cazenout pareil. Those which
are closed up the fronts are mostly in sombre colours,
such as dark green, or blue or black satin, and de-
corated with large fancy buttons, called Marquise, in
silk or jet, surrounded with a resille or net work,
which has a very rich effect upon velvet or satin ; the
Richelieu buttons are also much in favour; they, are
placed in the centre of a small roseate of passe-
menterie, which encircles it in the same way as those
coques of straight ribbon.
DRESSES.—Those that have actually appeared for
autumnal dresses, and more decidedly of the demi-
soison kind than is usual at this season of the year,
les moires satins, poult de soie, and velore d'Africa,
being the materials now much in vogue for
out-door costume ; whilst bareges, coloured tar-
latans, and organdi, retain their favour for after-
noon toilettes. We have remarked, as worthy of at-
tention, a very pretty style of dress, composed of a
dahlia-coloured barege ; the corsage gauged, and the
throe volants forming the trimming of the skirt, the
top one headed with three very narrow folds; others
striped blue and white, are very pretty, trimmed
with a broan flounce en bias round the skirt, and
headed with a fulling of the same ; corsage plain and
low, with oriental sleeves trimmed also with a fulling
and under sleeves of muslin ; then there is the balzo-
rine satinee, a very favourite material, made with a
plain skirt and stiffened low a la vierge, with long
Amadis sleeves. A chemisette a la vierge is worn
under the body, buttoned upon the shoulders. A
scarf of plain cameleon-coloured silk, and a capote of
gros de Naples, decorated with a branch of Dydy-
namias, finishes this elegant promenade costume.
CLOARS.—The style of those which will be most
worn in the ensuing season, is the following, which
we select for its extreme elegance and simplicity,
composed of black satin, pousseire, or dark blue.
This cloak is formed with a corsage and ceinture un
pue busque : a pelerine or cap is attached, ample
round the back, and opening at will under the fall of
the arm, the front part designed in the form of a
fichu, with broad facings attached with buttons ; the
sleeves wide, and bouillonnees with broad facings or
cuffs : in order to render the sleeve perfectly easy, it
is put into the arm-hole slightly fulled on the top;
the skirt reaches to a little above the level of the
bottom part of the dress, the fronts being laced on
each side, and attached up with buttons. The look
of this kind of cloak is much enriched by the facings
being made of velvet, and buttons of jet.
COLOURS. —The prevailing colours for the present
month are so intermixed in their colours and shades
as to render it a matter of some difficulty to decipher
them. We can, however, announce as most fashion-
able, shades of light and dark green, deep shades of
olive, blue, de la reine mixtures of cerise and blue,
violet and brown, pink and lavender, blue and violet,
aile pe mouche, and the beetle's wing.

this morning fur Dieppe, with a number of passengers,

Osborne-house last week, and workmen have commenced
making such alterations as are considered to be requisite,
which will be completed by the 14th instant. The prin-
cipal alteration is that of constructing passages from the
principal apartments to the nursery. The whole of the
royal tradesmen have been appointed, and have been
principally selected from amongst those who supplied
her Majesty at Norris Castle during her minority. Earl
Cadogan (at the Castle), Rear-Admiral Sir IVilliam and

the ceremony they returned to the Seymour's Arms,
where the wedding dinner was provided by the landlord,
Mr. Hallett, in the best style, and spent the remainder
of the day, returning to their camp, on Blagdon-hill, at
about twelve o'clock at night. It is estimated that
not less than 400 persons assembled to witness the cere-
mony, and the bells having been set ringing, and the
Blagdon band engaged for the union, the wedding-day
and the day following were kept up as holidays. —Bat h

PORTSOSEN WARD.—OFFICIAL DECLARATION OF
THE POLL.—On Monday afternoon, at five o'clock, a
wardmote of the ward of Portsoken, adjourned from
Friday last, was resumed at the late workhouse, in the
board room, Cock and Hoop-yard, iloundsditch, to re-
ceive the official declaration of the poll, upon the elec-
tion of an Alderman, in the room of Alderman T. John-
son, on which occasion there was a numerous attendance
of the electors, principally of the Jewish race. Mr. D.
Salomons arrived a few minutes before the Lord Mayor,
accompanied by his friends. Mr. Sheriff Moon was not
present. The Lord Mayor, preceded by the mace bearer
and the sword of state, having taken the chair, announced
the result of the poll to have been for Mr. D. Salomons,
168, for Mr. Sheriff Moon, 136, and declared Mr. David
Salomons to have been duly elected Alderman of the
ward.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. D. Salomons then addressed
the electors, and moved a vote of thanks to the Lord
Mayor. Mr. Hill seconded the motion, which was
agreed to unanimously, with loud cheers. His Lordship
thanked the electors, and the wardmoto was dissolved.
A remarkably fine woodcock was shot near Rain-
bow, by :).1:r. Hibbert, surgeon, of Bollington, on Wed-
nesday last, an unusually early period of the season.—
Maccle4field Coefrier,
VgE AM) Aiiiist OF STIMULANTS.—If persons in
hot climates drink wine, spirits, or malt liquors, there is
an excess of function in the whole nervous system in•
ctmpatible with health, and the person soon wears out.
But if, on the contrary, the air be daTp e.nBdwsotrasgenant,
and the soil level, the respiratory function 1 per-
formed; there, the air doing less, the. food is required
to do more, and the stomach ,and digestive organs not
being able to digest the food -in sufficient quantity to
supply the nerves, the latter are empty and craving,
though the former is full. Here we have the strange phe-
nomenon of a person eating heartily, perhaps too heartily,
and still craving more ; such a person complains of a
" sinking" of the stomach, and is always relieved by
good wine and brandy, provided that the digestive
organs, and the liver in particular, are not pre-
viously injured by their use. This will be denied by
all those who are influenced by " total abstinence '
doctrines, because, until very recently, we have
been in the habit of viewing all food for one use only—
namely, nutrition, overlooking in our philosophy the
other great function in the animal machine—namely, the
generation of the galvanoid force, which is to the body
what steam is to the ship, or what gravity is to the earth
as a planet.—Professor Schultz.
