FEMALE FASHIONS FOR APRIL, 1826.
(From La Bale Asientbat.) •

PRIVATE COIMERT DRESS.—A full round dress of white
grog de Naples, with eight narrow flounces of crepe-lisse, fall-
ing over each other, and caught up in front, to lesions, with a
white satin rosette and a bouquet of roses. The corsage is made
to fit exactly to the shape, and plain, excepting that fie/re-bracers
cross it over the bust. These are of rich white ribbon edged
with blond ; the ends rounded, and falling over the front of the
skirt, nearly as low as the knee. Short sleeves, with the ful-
ness confined across the top of the arm, next the shoulder, by
rows of falling ornaments, composed of narrow blond. The
head-dress consists of a dress-hat of white crape, ornamented
I with white ostrich feathers, placed in various elegant directions.
The jewellery articles worn with this dress are several rows of
pearls, twisted, and forming a necklace. Each ear-ring is
formed of one large pearl.
MORNING 14;XIBITION DnEss.—A dress of celestial blue,
or of spring-bud green gros de Naples, with two broad flounces
round the border, very handsomely pinked and scalloped at
the edges : between each flounce, and above the upper one, is
a beautiful row of raised embroidery, in chenille, or floize silk,
of a colour a few shades darker than that of the dress, which
has a very charming effect. The body is made high, and
finished downwards by several narrow rouleanx ; or someladies
prefer having the corsage laid in very small fiat plaits. This
should depend on the enboapoinl or slightness of the make of
the fair wearer, each mode having the game effect as to orris-
rnent. A collar falls from the throat, trimmed round with
braided satin, and a rosette of ribbon, the colour of the dress,
fastens it in front: this is surmounted by a double French ruff,
rather narrow, of Urling's lace. The sfeeves are long, rather
close to the arm, and are confined at the wrists by three rows
of the same material as the dress, bonillionne. The hat is in
the Valois shape, of pink Gros de Naples, and is slightly or-
namented with satin and flowers of blue, or when the dress is
green, of suitable colours; with strings of the same line, left
untied. A gold chain, with a convent-cross depending, finishes
, this lively costume, which forms a fashion admirably appro-
priate to the coming season of spring.

Cantu AG E COSTE ME.—Pelisse of Turkish satin, of a brig'
blue or hyacinthine colour, lined with white sarsnet and fas
tened in front ;. the collar square and turned down ; the corsage
plain and close to the shape, and ornamented on each side with
a row of diamonds of the same material as the dress, edged
with a narrow satin rouleau of the same colour, anti united
with a satin button.. The two rows diverge towards the shoul-
ders, and meet in front at the waist, where the diamonds unite
in pairs, and gradually increase in size as they descend; two
rows of swansdown adorn the bottom of the dress, between
which is an elegant satin scroll. The sleeve is still ea gicrot,
but much smaller from the elbow to the wrist, which has three
diamond ornaments to correspond, placed perpentlicu-
larly. The ceintare has a highly wrought gold buckle
in front ; deep square collerette of British Brussels lace ;
cup of white crepe lisse : a bouquet of damask roses on
the right able, and others variously disposed. The hair in

body of a moderate height and hams, confined at the top with
a narrow satin muleau, and trimmed with a row of deep fall.
big lace, put on very full. The sleeve is short and extremely
full, and finished with the same kind of lace as that round the
bust, and equally full. The skirt has an elegant wreath of
various sorts of flowers, surmounting two very deep flounces
of &II scollOp lace, which are headed with satin piping,
and put on with much taste, slightly partaking of the fes-
toon ; the rise of the upper flounce is opposite to where the
lower recedes, and displays a well-arranged selection of
flowers within each space ; a wreath of single leaves and a
row 'of rich scollops terminate the dress. The ceinture has a
beantiful cameo in front. A roulean of primrose and hair-
colour gros de Naples forms the head-dress ; and the hair is
dispOsed in ringlets, a far more becoming. and elegant style
than the stiff large curls which have disguised the beautiful
tresses of our fair fashionables. Shaded gauze scarf ; pearl
ear-rings and necklace, with a gold chlin ; broad cameo brace-
lets outside the gloves, which are long white kid and French
trimmed ; white satin shoes.

The vocal treat was of course exquisite, and Weber, who (Mr.
Braliain remarked), " is not less eminent as an instru-
mental performer' that he is as composer," delighted the com-
pany on the piano. It was a trea- of the highest order to hear
Witness the splendid voice of Brabant in " Oh I can bear my fate no.
longer," accompanied by its unrivalled composer ; and, again,
toitness the display
of Sinclair's bri-liant powers in " When
absent from her whom my soul holds most dear," accompanied
by Braham. The whole scene presented a feast of harmony,
and a constellation of superior and varied talent, such as few
existing societies can hope to equal; none to surpass.

who could scarce ever refuse any thing

intended went through the ceremony, his consciousness of not
deserving it made him kneel at too great it distance; upon
which the King cried out, "Come, come, Sir, be collected ;
,'tis I, not you, to whom the shau3e belongs.”
