FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER.

(From the World of Fashion, Magazine of the Courts of

London and Pails.)
MORNING CAPS.—Amidst the most falshionable novelties of
the season, we have remarked some very pretty morning caps
of embroidered muslin ; the front part is concealed by a kind
of small half handkerchief, also of embroidered muslin,
trimmed round the back part with two rows of lace, de-
scending on each side in the form of lappets, and orna-
mented with a blue ribbon, put on plain upon the centre -of
the head, and terminated on each side by a nceud of ribbon,
with long ends dropping carelessly at the sides.
DRESSES for the present month still continue to have
all the freshness of a summer toilette. We cannot
fail to admire that pretty plaid dress a carreaux, pink
and white, and trimmed with two broad flounces, each
more than three-quarters in width, and ornamented with
a pink fringe, the healing of which is rather broad,
formed of three rows of open work ; plain body, having a
deep point, with no plait on either side, the centre of the
corsage is composed of two pieces, forming the cross way on
each side of the shoulders ; the back is also formed in a point,
and plain and narrow at the sides ; the sleeves of this pretty
costume: is trimmed with two narrow frillings, trimmed like-
wise with fringe
EVENING DRESSF.S.—We have remarked several very
charming toilettes intended for soirees dansantes ; these
dresses are
_made a petit revers plain, and placed front and

back instead of any other drapery, the back of the waist
forming a kind of jacket • the sleeves are short, and form a
kind of facing by means Of a sort of wristband, which binds the
sleeve, the skirt trimmed with four bread folds, reaching from
the hips to the lower part of the dress.
BONNETS.—Already we have been favoured with a sight
of some distingue looking ones made in velvet, of a rather
open form, and ornamented with a bunch of two moderate-
sized feathers, or a boquet of three small ones, tipped with
the same colour as the velvet; satin ribbons, likewise of the
same colour, completes the ornamenting of the bonnet.
FEATIIERS this year have obtained great success amongst
our most fasionable modistes, particularly those pretty plumes
zephyriennes, the Argus feather, and others too numerous to
mention.
FLowEns.—Wreaths in the hair will be much worn this
autumn ; we may cite as those most in favour for their fresh
and natural appearance, the Pamela wreath, and a crown a
la Ninon, which encircles the back part of the head, and has
a most youthful and becoming effect.
MANTELETS.—Some very elegant ones have lately appeared
of embroidered tarlatane, in the form of a shawl, opening
over the top of the arms, and trimmed all round with three
rows of lace. Then, again, there is the echarpe a capuchon,
made of white cachmere, and lined with blue or lilac silk.
Fashionable Colours for the present autumnal season are
principally shades of green, particularly sea-green, violet,
grey, and a variety of mixed colours, such as grey and red,
grey and white, two shades of blue, lilac and white, &c.,
Nankin is the favourite hue for morning wear.

Desertion. We regret to hear that several men belong-
ing to the 33d Regiment, lying at this place, have lately
deserted. Some of them have been taken and brought back,
while others have escaped. These men have received bounty,
and have been clothed, fed, and brought hither at the ex-
pense of the British Government, to which they have sworn
allegiance ; it is very wrong for them to desert, and especially
galling to all British subjects, as most of those who get off
immediately enlist in the American service, and would, in the
event of a war with that country, fight against us. It is,
therefore, clearly the duty of every inhabitant of New Bruns-
wick to assist the military authorities in recapturing these
misguided men, and in returning them to head-quarters.—

77th Regiment—At the Kingston Races a serious row and
fight took place on the ground between the soldiers of the
garrison and the populace. How the quarrel began it is
difficult to ascertain, but it soon became general, and a severe
skrimmage was the consequence. The soldiers of the 71st,
with the exception of a small piquet on duty, were without
their side arms, or very bloody would have been the conse-
quence. A few only of the S2d were present ; they had no
side arms. Seeing the row, such of the officers as had
not left the course, among whom was Mr. Hamilton, the
adjutant, immediately interfered, and with some difficulty
got the men off the ground into the public road, and were
marching them homewards, when the populaee followed and
pelted them with stones. Mr. Hamilton was severely hurt,
and obliged to be taken to a neighbouring house. Seeing
their officer thus treated the soldiers rushed back to the
ground, and a much severer engagement commenced, which
continued for a long while, in spite of all endeavours to
stop it. It lasted until Major Denny sent out a detachment
of the 71st Regiment under arms, who restored order,
brought away the wounded men, and made many prisoners,
who, at the time we are writing, arc in custody at the Court-
house, waiting an examination. The number of men hurt
on both sides is said to be large, but none are killed.
The above hastily-written sketch is probably incorrect in
many particulars, but it is the best we can furnish.—Montreal
