PASMONS FOR OCTOBER.

(From the World of Fashion, Magazine of the Courts of
tondon and
m Paris.)
MORNING CArs.—Amidt the ost fashionable 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.
DanasEs for the present month still continue to have
all the freshness of a summer toilette. We cannot
tail 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 heading 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 tin
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 fillings, trimmed like-
wise with fringe
EVENING DRESSES.—We have re:narked several very
charming toilettes intended for soirees dansantes ; these
cireoes are made a Vetit revers plain, and vlaced 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.
FEATHERS 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.

FLOWERS.—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.

the 6th October, for embarkation, when the armed party of
1 subaltern, 1 sergeant, and 12 rank and file, together with
the supernumerary men in waiting, will return to Nenagh,
and join their head-quarters. Captain Mein is in command
of the company stationed at Borrisokane.

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.—
Fredericton Loyalist.

35th (Royal-Sussex) Regiment, Depot, Charles Fort, Kin-

and provision is to be made for the expense in the next naval
estimates.

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 82d were present ; they bad no
side arms. Seeing he 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, are 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.—lliontreal
paper.
88th (Connaught Rangers) Depot, Boyle—Ensign Gore is
ordered to hold himself in readiness to embark with the draft
of 1 captain, 1 sergeant,' and 60 rank and file. and 6 boys,

His Excellency the Spanish Minister transacted business

MISS CLARA SEYTON.—This very talented young
lady has been giving her entertainments at Dover, Deal,
Hastings, and other towns in Kent, where she has attracted
crowded audiences, who have been delighted with the versa.
tility of talent which she displayed. At St. Leonard's her
entertainment was patronised by his Serene Highness the
Prince of Oldenburgh, She is at present at Tunbridge Wells,
where she is winning " golden opinions," in every sense of
the phrase.
READING AND REIGATE.—It appears that the at-
mospheric principle is to be adopted on one of the proposed
lines from Reading and Reigate, of which Mr. Sandforth F.
Griffin is the engineer, This line, although but forty miles
in extent, passes in its course through the important towns
of Guildford and Dorking, thus connecting the Great
Western and the Northern lines with the South-eastern and
Brighton lines. The promoters contend that, on account of
the undulating character of the country, by no other system
than the atmospheric will the difficulties in the shape of
severe gradients be surmounted, or the beauty of the scenery
be kept open to view. Much stress appears to be laid by the
promoters upon the fact of the great safety which the atmos
pheric system promises to secure.—Post.
RAILROAD EXTRAORDINARY.—We learn from au-
thority, which we cannot distrust, that a plan of railway is
now in active contemplation, and in highly influential hands,
which bids fair to be one of the most imposing adventures of
this adventurous era. It is one which, if accomplished (and
we see no reason to doubt its practicability), must 'create im-
mense interest in these districts, where it is calculated to work
a sort of revolution in commerce. It has been already ascer-
tained by Mr.. Pease and others, that coals may be carried by
railway under arrangements most beneficial to all parties.
This being the case, it is proposed to complete a double line of
railway from Newcastle to the metropolis for the carriage of
goods only; these goods being coals chiefly upwards, and
miscellaneous packages downwards. As this line would
exclude passengers, great speed is not an object. The
coals would be delivered in a condition far superior
to that which goes by sea, and the metropolitan market
would by this means he regularly supplied, at all times, with
superior coals, on terms that would hardly vary, and which
would be lower than any that London has yet seen. We
have been favoured with outline of some of the calcula-
tions for this scheme. As to the cost of the railway we can-
not judge. It is estimated, however, at somewhat above
four millions, and jt is proposed to obtain a subscribed capital
of five millions to meet all contingencies. The consumption
of coal, in London alone, is about 4,000,000 tons annually.
The carriage upon three millions tons of coal, alone, would
yield a handsome profit, even at rates very low indeed. As
far as the coal trade of Northumberland and Durham is con-
cerned, a transit like this, if once effected, would be a getat
safeguard. They might thenceforward defy all conmetition,
and enjoy a monopoly of the supply of the metropolis.
We look with great interest for Farther details as to the gigan-
tic undertaking.—Tyne 111;:rcury.
FOREIGN FRUIT, CATTLE, &C.—The General
Steam Navigation Company's ship Countess of Lonsdale,
which arrived from Hamburgh within this day or two,
brought, in addition to 21 oxen in good condition, 765 sieves
of plums, 64 sieves of the same, and 110 baskets of other
descriptions of fruit, and a large quantity of seeds, plants,
and other produce. The Sir Edward Banks also brought
18 cases of live poultry, a large quantity of eggs, &c. The
same Company's ship Soho. from Antwerp on Monday,
brought the large number of considerably more than 2,000
packages of ripe walnuts, a large quantity of ripe pears, &c.
The Columbine, from Rotterdam, which arrived at the
Brunswick Wink Blackwell, on the same day, brought 5
oxen, 19 cows, the large number of 240 sheep, a large quan-
tity of yeast, cheese, and a variety of every description of
Dutch produce. Neither this vessel nor the Company's ship
James Watt, which arrived at the St. Katharine's Wharf
on the same day, from Havre, brought any fruit of either
description; so that it would appear that the importations
of ripe fruit, consisting of plums, pears, &c., from Holland
and France, have, in a great measure, ceased for the season.
The fruit from these places was the first in the markets, and
now they give place to Hamburgh, from which a later crop
of ripe fruit is now arriving, and Belgium, which is very pro-
lific in the produce of walnuts—a scarcity elsewhere—and
from which country large quantities, as will be seen, arrive,
which are of excellent quality, and completely supply our
markets with the article. We understand that the crop of
English walnuts this year is generally bad, in consequence of
the great quantity of humid and wet weather which has been
so prevalent, and that the samples of this nut of home
growth, which are generally considered very superior to, are
this year completely beaten by, those brought from Belgium
Ind other parts of the Continent. Our walnut season should
now be at its height, whereas there has as yet scarcely any
been seen in the markets or elsewhere. The walnuts brought
from -abroad are imported in the husk—for which an allow-
ince is made by the revenue officers at the time of landing,
by mutual agreement or experiment, according to the wish
of the importer—which insures their delivery in a fresh state.
