INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.

Joseph Burbury Borradalc Holland was brought
up to be. heard upon his petition to be discharged
under the Act, and was opposed by Mr. BARRY, on
the part of Messrs. Broadwood and Co., whose debt
was stated in the schedule as admitted.
Mr. HEATH for the insolvent, submitted that Mr.
broadwood was no creditor, and, therefore, had no
right to oppose, but
The COMMISSIONER said, that as his debt was
stated in the schedule as admitted, it gave him a
locus standi in the Court, even though it should sub-
sequently turn out that he was not a creditor.
The insolvent then, in reply to a question from Mr.
BARRY, said that he had a farm called Burnt Ash
Farm, in Kent, and that, in 1824, he lined at Mr.
Shephard's, in Great Surrey-street, for two or three
months, during which period he contracted no debt,
except that to Messrs. Broadwood and Co. He had
xo family, but was a musical man, and had hired a
Pianoforte while there. The debt to Messrs. Broad-
wood and Co. accrued from that piano, which he
14'as unable to return, it having been sold, or
otherwise disposed of, by Mr. Shephard.
Ni. BARRY now submitted that the insolvent
roust be remanded, as he had stated in his scdedule
that he had resided in Great Surrey-street.
Mr. HEATH then examined the insolvent as to
this fact, when he stated that he had not paid for his
lodgings in Great Surrey-street, nor had he con-
tracted to do so, for he only used the house of Mr.
Shephard as that of a friend, upon his coming from
28 tarn', which was, in tact, his residence at the
time.

Mr. BARRY then called a witness who proved
that when he was a servant to the insolvent, he
Went to Messrs. Broadwood and Co. and hired from
them a pianoforte, at the instance of the insolvent,
who told him that he had sold one to Mr. Shep-
herd, which he hail bought from his sister, but as
he could not raise the money just then to pay his
lister, he wished to hire one for a month.
Mr. Shepherd was next called, and deposed, that
the insolvent resided with him, and had agreed to
PaY him for his board and lodging, though he could
hot recollect what he had agreed to pay. lie (Mr.
Ilephard) had been since a bankrupt, and he had
Riven in the insolvent as a debtor to him, for board
4id lodging during that period.
Mr. HEAT now said, that he must give up the
hint of residence, and the insolvent must be re-
144nded to amend his schedule.

Mr BARRY was prepared to go into the merits of
I,llis opposition, but at length the case was postponed
tonient, with an understanding that Messrs.
"toadwood's books are to be produced, and the
lilsolvent was ordered to give ten days notice when
about
to come up again.

FEMALE PASHIONS FOR AUGUST.

(From La _Belle .A ssentblc'e.)

PUBLIC PROMENADE DRESS.—A dress of azure blue
taffety, finished at the border by a broad hem, headed by
two very narrow pointed flounce, falling over each other,
and forming a kind of niche : the points are bound with
blue satin, of a shade darker than the dress, and headed by
a narrow rouleau of the same. The corsage is d l'Enfant,
and is confined round the waist by an elastic belt of blue
silk, fastened in front by a buckle of gilt bronze. Sleeves,
d /a Marie, the fulness confined at intervals by bands of
blue silk, with a very broad cuff at the wrist, and gilt
bronze bracelets, fastened by an onyx brooch. A pointed
pelerine of tulle is worn over thin dress, trimmed round
with blonde, and fastened in front of the throat by a rosette
of white ribbon, edged with blue. A hat of Tuscan
grass, lined with azure blue, and trimmed with white
ribbon, edged with blue ; and a bunch of blue bells placed
on the right side of the crown. Parasol of Egyptian sand
colour, and boots of kid of the same colour.
EVENING DRESS.—A dress of white crape, beautifully
embroidered in various colours, forming a broa I border,
on a hero which turns back, with points at the edge,
finished by a narrow rouleau of white satin. The embroi-
dery consists of beautiful wreaths of natural flowers, falling
in elegant drooping branches from one continued wreath,
just beneath the points above described. The corsage is
d la ,Wrigne, and is of white gros de Naples, with crape
drapery across the bust, which is drawn together in the
centre by an antique brooch of jewellery, formed of gold
rubies and turquoise stones. The sleeves, though they r,
d la Marie, come only just below the elbow, where they
terminate in a double ruffle of blond.

A beret of gauze constitutes the head-dress, which is
white, with spots of ruby, and of emerald green. Aigrettes
of feathers, of the same colours, are tastefully disposed on
the bjret, r.s ornament& The ear-rings are of rubies, and
the necklace is of a very delicate chain-work of gold, in
festoons, which are each caught up, alternately, by a ruby
and turquoise stone. The bracelets are of gold, fastened by
a large turquoise, set round with filagree gold.
(From The World of Fashion, &c.)

As light and appropriate head-coverings for the summer
season, the hats are chiefly of a transparent kiud ; they
are generally of white crape or stiffened net, and one of the
latter material pleases us much by its elegant simplicity.
Under the right side of the brim are three spatula orna-
ments of celestial blue; the upper part of the hat is trim-
med with blue satin ribbon, sewn to bias fold of white
crepe-areophane. Another transparent list is of white
crape, bound with satin ribbon of French white, and
trimmed with very long puffs against the crown of white
gauze ribbon with satin stripes, among which puffs and
fanciful trimming of gauze are tastefully intermingled blue
and white flowers, made of feathers ; the strings are of
broad gauze ribbon, in a very long loop.
Amongst the most striking novelties in the gown depart-
ment, is a very beautiful evening dress of pink crape, work-
ed in flat embroidery ea coluttnes, with black floize silk;
two flounces surround the border, finished at the edges
with black embroidery, and each headed by a rouleau of
black satin; the corsage is a l'Enfant, and is embroider-
ed down the front and at the back in a correspondent man-
ner to the skirt, the waist confined by a belt of pink satin,
worked in black foliage. The sleeves are short and are
embroidered across in bias stripes, in a manner answering
to those which are straight down the skirt ; a Persian
drapery depends over each shoulder, trimmed at the edge
with black lace. A home dress of Etruscau-brown gros
de Naples is well worthy of admiration; it is bardered by
a very broad flounce, cut in very sharp points, and edged
with a double rouleau of etherial blue satin; hem next
the shoe is headed by a blue rouleau, and between the
points are foliage ornaments, bound with blue, which fill up
the interstices caused by the length of the points, produc-
ing a very pleasing effect. The flounce is headed by four
narrow rouleaux of blue satin, and placed at equal distances
are small brown bows, edged with blue ; the body is en
genie, and made high, with long sleeves, terminated at the
wrists by a very broad cuff, with a row of very small but-
tons placed in bias, on the outside of the arm. For full
dregs evening parties we have seen a most elegant dress
made of a soft kind of gossamer white satin, with a beauti-
ful painted border of natural flowers, next the shoe; the
one we most admired consisted of full-blown roses, yellow
and red ; above this border is blond, set on en serpentine,
headed by a rich white satin rouleau, and between the
scalops or festoons are branches of purple lilacs and their
green foliage, exact imitations from nature.

- For the out-door costume, we have no novelties to point
out since last month, except a very elegant pelisse of
camel's hair, brown gros des irides, lined with etherial
blue sarcenet ; a simple, but rich cord of silk encircles the
waist, which is made plain, and the seams concealed by silk
cordon ; the sleeves are en gigot, and the pelisse is worn
open, or fastens down at pleasure.
Among the new head-dresses is an elegant toque, era
paon, of black lace, stiffened in its aureole form, by very
narrow rouleaux of blue satin, and ornamented with blue
feathers. Beret turban caps are much in request for half
dress ; they are made of white and of pink crape ; those
which are white are trimmed with rose, or some other
bright colour; the pink crape is ornamented with black
satin ; on the forehead are two twisted rouleaux of satin,
combining the colours of the beret, with a point in front,
a la Marie Stuart ; the beret is placed very backward,
and the rouleaux repose on the hair; very long lappets
finish these coiffures; they are of double gauze, in bias,
and terminate in a rosette tassel.

The colours most admired are rose, blue, camel's-hair-
brown, lilac, yellow, and mignionet-leaf-green.

GENTLEMEN'S FASHIONS FOR AUGUST.

(From the Gentleman's Magazine of Fashions, &c.)
The surtout coats are generally made of blue Merino
cloth, others of green, or brown ; they are fastened and
ornamented by flat braiding, and are very advantageous to
the easy figure of a well-made young man. Such a coat
should be worn in going to the bath ; on that occasion no
waistcoat should be worn, but if one is preferred, it is left
open ; a shirt is worn under the coat of blue or pink
gingham, laid in small plaits. This djshabille should be
finished by pantaloons coming as low as the feet, and
striped with blue or brown. A Madras cravat figured in
large chequers. Jean slippers are still the go amongst
fashionable bathers.

At public morning promenades, the dashers are ,eeu
very often in blue coats, wits white waistcoats and pan-
taloons. Muslin cravats figured over with coloured sprigs.
In the left button-hole a half-blown rose.
Coats for the races are of every kind of material ; A nglo-
merino, fustian, ice. ; they are of various colours, and are
made in the form of hunting coats, with horizontal pockets
nn the hips, and those that are crosswise on the breast ;
these pockets have three buttons, and this ornament also
belongs to the last century, to thelashions of which period
we are certainly returning.

There are new buttons called a la Diana and ci lu
Psyche, which begin already to be quite the rage ; they
arc of mother-o'-pearl, ornamented with the figures of
birds, butterflies, and other little objects, perfectly well
painted and executed in the molt lively colours; and of un-
doubted duration.

The Diana buttons are of mether-o'-peal ; they repre-
sent, by means of very excellent painting, and the colours
bright and durable, every object relative to the chace.
Some e.rquisites think it shows a superiority of taste, to
be dressed entirely it; black. The coat is of fine Merino
cloth, pantaloons of silk or Cachemere, waistcoat of raven
grey silk, and grey silk stockings ribbed with black.
A fashionable man his now neither whip nor cane when
he rides on horseback ; frequently, too, he is without spurs.
In the country, at evening parties and rural balls, young
men of fashion wear white or Nankin pantaloons ; under-
waistcoats, worked in chain-stitch, in small patterns;
white silk stockings, ribbed or chequered with blue, and
a dark-coloured coat, in drop-de-soie.
In evening parties and at balls given in the country, le-
gitimates have two kinds of costume; the elder wear
black coat, black waistcoats, white pantaloons, and white
stockings. The youna°er wear a brown, green, or blue
coat; white waistcoat, Nankin

an in arc reckoned most
ge„tetd ; they all fasten under the shoe, and descend very
low. Some tailors, instead of the narrow belt, now make
them with one very broad, which buttons on one side.
Many Chinese pantaloons have appeared of jasper colour,
or of iron grey; but white or Nankin are the rage.
In black silk cravats is introduced a narrow collar of ,1
whalebone; it must not be placed above the shirt collar.
The cravat is tied in a double bow, with large ends.
A new coat collar has just appeared ; it is made of black
velvet,- and is cut into a point behind; it resembles pre-
cisely the stomacher, band worn by the ladies round their
waists, and front which the idea has certainly been taken.
The collar has a novel effect, and not at all otarl—ne.
vertheless, we do not think it will be generally adopted
from its peculiarity. The broad collars have had their
day; but when made moderately wide and large, are still
admired.

Grey bag prevail mud), but they must be of tlie firbt

quality—the crowns Tow, and the brims broad. The
long haired, shaggy kind of beaver is most r•eferred.
Several gentlemen have revived the fashion of very
smooth beavers ;—bats of this kind have low crowns, and
the brims bent.

In the country all the young men of fashion vie with
each other, in going. before dinner to gather bouquets for
the ladies, especially when engaged to a ball or evening
party. However, in most of our great houses, the charge
of this species of gall intl.), devolves on the gardener, who
brings a basket full of these nasegays at the moment the
ladies are about to get into their carriages.

A fashionable man, when he goes to a watering place,
does not now encumber himself with a heavy portmanteau
or hair trunk, but he puts his light baggage into a travel-
ling bag, not covered with carj.•ting, but of red or green
Morocco.

Many morning gowns are of white dimity—they come
down as low as the ankles._

One single ring on the little finger of the left hand is the
distinguishing mark of a real man of fashion, and the only
ring he wears.
The eye glass is single; it is no longer attached to any
string, but is kept in the side pocket.
In the country, a dasher must of necessity have a drotoshi
to drive the ladies to the different promenades. This car-
riage is lined with striped silk, blue on white, or rose-
colour on white. The servants sit on the seat behind.
The master is seated on the box in front, and so is the
driver.

NEW NATIONAL GALLERY.—The erection
of a new National Gallery, combined with a suitable
building and offices for the Royal Academy, has been at
length finally determined on. The architect to whom the
buildings, are to be intrusted is Mr. JOHN NASH, whose
designs have been approved of by his MAJEBTT and the
proper authorities. The New National Gallery and Royal
Academy—for so the building is to be denominated—is to
be on a grand scale of 360 yards in length, having a beau-
tiful Corinthian portico and centre dome, with a small one
on each wing, and a lesser one on each of the principal
extremities. It will occupy the site of the present Riding
House, in the King's Mews, Charing-cross, immediately
facing the south, and by the elevation, is intended to be
about twice the height of the first-rate houses at present
erected. The building will form a very picturesque and
noble line, extending in a direction from Pall-mall East,
nearly across to St. Martin's Church. The space imme-
diately in front will be occupied by the New Royal Aca-
demy, which is intended to represent an extensive Grecian
temple, having at the entrance and exit a long flight of
steps, and standing at right angles with the National Gal-
lery. St. Martin's church will, by this plan, be left quite
free to the public view, with a large space of ground railed
in as a burial place. The work-house of St. Martin's, in
Castle-street, will remain in the back ground, but will un-
dergo considerable alterations on the south side, to corre-
spond with other buildings. On the east side will be
erected a new and magnificent range of police offices, in-
tended as the principal metropolitan station, instead of the
present incommodious office at Bow-street ; and close to
them will appear the vicar's house and the parochial schools.
The grand line of street will be from west to east by Pall-
mall, passing the frost of the National Gallery, and enter
the Strand facing Hungerford-street ; the Strand being
widened for some distance to a road of sixty feet. The
open space of ground will be formed into squares, planted
with trees, and railed round to protect them from injury.
