MODES, BAL COSTUMES, &c.
As the Due de Broglie has not attempted to interfere with
our " right of search " into the French papers, during his
diplomatic negotiations, we have occasionally peeped into the
Journal des Debate of late, and have diccovered a series of
articles under the above title. In these fuilletons the writer
adverts to the rapid strides of science, and its development in
articles of trade and manufacture, anti endeavours to excite
the emulation of the Parisian marchands, by assuring them
that great efforts are being made in London to eclipse their
inventions, and surpass
.them in the elegance of their fabrics.
Whether success has attended these efforts or not, is not our
province to determine. We leave the decision of this impor-
tant question to amateurs ; and whilst everything is teeming
with life and animation, although it may appear inconvenant
to speak of pallida more, or his attendant pompes funebres,
we will call their attention to the chasteness and ex-
treme beauty of the monumental designs at Clark's,
in Wigmore-street. His atelier is filled with casts
from the statues of Phidias and Praxiteles, and especially an
exquisite figure of one of Diana's attendant Nymphs, to which
we recently adverted, yet he excels in his monuments, with
their coloured inscriptions, which look like a leaf that has been
torn from some richly illuminated Missal. Whenever any of
our Noblesse desire torenovate their

" family's old monument,
Hang mournful epitaphs, and do all rites
That appertain unto a burial,"
they had better look in at Air. Clark's, instead of raising Shak-
spere's reproach—
., Lay not these bones in an unworthy urn,
Tombless, with no remembrance over them."
_ .

It is not often that the sun condescends to make his appear-
ance in London, and, in fact, he seems to have had so much
trouble in forcing his way through the fog to get a peep
at us, that he abandoned the attempt until this week,
and, now that he has come, we find him do trop, and
every one is trying to get out of his way and out of the range
of his rays. Captain Morris was right to sing about the
" Sweet shady side of Pall-mall." How it was thronged yes-
terday ; and the Burlington Arcade was in a state of siege
from the moment the crowd-compelling beadles threw open
the gates ; but there are so many charming shops and charm-
ing laces to be seen in this shady blest retreat, that we can
scarce marvel at its being so much in vogue. Doudney, who
like Pheebus, rose in the east, has now established himself in
Bond-street and the Arcade. He has taken the old Alexan-
drian Institution, and has retained all the old Egyptian orna-
ments, so that the attention is alternately distracted by well-
cut dress coats and sphynxes, and we recognise the Caryatides
from the tombs of the old kings of Thebes, cheek
by jowl with the newest fashions of Paris. We
must find time to make a voyage autour de
sa chambre (show-room), and will resider our readers
a faithful and graphic description of all that is to be seen
there. The old time-honoured Truefit also retains the same
premises there which he has occupied time out of mind. He
and his smiling busts, and well-curled perukes, are part and
parcel of the place, and have been there within the " memory
of the oldest inhabitant." Several counterfeit haircuttera have
endeavoured to impose themselves upon the public as the
original Truefit, and have invaded his own territory, but he
has kept them at bay by pointing out the imposture to the
public. The Burlington Arcade also possesses a noted ladies'
shoemaker, named Paul Hase, who obtains every week from
Paris a fresh supply of chaussure, which the ladies protest
is in every respect superior to the shoes and brodequins
of English manufacture. They certainly look much better,
and too much praise cannot be bestowed upon them.
But apropos de bottes, whilst we are upon the subject of
chaussure, honourable mention must be made of Medwin, who
has erected an elegant establishment with sumptuous decora-
tions, which has become the chief ornament and the cynosure
of every eye in Regent-street. Medwin, however, we believe,
does not profess to interfere with ladies' feet, but confines
his attention to the construction of bottes vernies for our use.
He, moreover, fashions leather and prunella into all sorts
of shapes and devices, to suit the taste and feet of the most
fastidious gant jaune that lounges about London. His clients
(tradesmen have no customers now-a-days) declare that
his boots are remarkably well made, and very easy to the feet.
From the same authority we must also mention an establish-
ment of importance in a country where sporting and riding
is the chief occupation of the aristocracy, to whom we are
convinced, Hawkin's Grosvenor riding-school, in South-
street, Grosvenor-square, is well known; the school is situated
on the first-floor, and admirably adapted for the purpose.
His beautiful set of ponies is well deserving the attention of
parents who wish their children to become good ecugers, they
certainly cannot put them under the care of a better master.
We have been talking about so many belle choses in London,
that we may as well favour the world with the result
of our observations on the other side of the channel, and
the Englishmen who aspire to the honours of martyrdom
enjoyed by the Parisian elegantes in their tight coats and
trousers and waistcoats, are to be found thronging the show-
rooms of the famous Becker, in the Rue Neuve des Petits
Champs. The lions of the French capital declare his cut and
facon to be perfection; and the English in Paris seem to be of
the same opinion, for a skilful connoisseur would recognise
Becker's coats on every English back in the Tuileries gardens
on a fine afternoon. We cannot conclude without saying one
word for Piot, in the Boulevard des Italiens, Paris, who con-
tinues to be the focus of fashion, and, by tacit consent, has
become the daily lounge of that numerous band of busy idlers,
whose fantastic tricks and escapades form no inconsiderable
item in the amusements of Paris. Where Piot procures all his
trinkets and ever-varying orfeverie, is to us incomprehensible.
His workmen mutt possess some magic crucibles, in which
they must transfuse the precious metals into those elegant
shapes and devices which abound in his collection of jewellery.

SCHOOLS IN KILMONIVAIG.—The annual examina-
tion of the schools in the parish of Kilmonivaig, has
been completed by a Committee of the Presbytery of
Abertarff. These schools are five in number, and they
aro attended by nearly 400 pupils. The parochial
school, taught by Mr. James Munro, maintained its
well-established discipline. Besides the numbers learn-
ing the common branches of English and Gaelic read-
ing, arithmetic, and writing, there were several boys
studying geometry, geography, and the Latin classics.
The highest class read Virgil. Mr. Munro, the teacher
of this school, is a profound and accurate Celtic scholar,
and is the author of an unrivalled Gaelic Grammar, and
of several minor works in that language, both in prose
and verse. He is undoubtedly the fittest man living for
filling a Gaelic chair in one of our Universities—now a
desideratum. —lnverness _Herald.

We are requested to state that Mr. Fenimore
Cooper's new work, entitled" Satanstoc ; or, the Family
of Little-page " (in 3 vols. post Svo.), will be published
by Mr. Bentley on Monday next, the 9th inst. Orders
should be given immediately to the various booksellers.
MISS STRICKLAND'S LIVES OF THE QUEENS OF
ENGLAND, VOLUME B.—The new volume of this popular
work comprises the Memoirs of Henrietta Maria, and
Catherine of Braganza.—The Life of Henrietta is told
with all the tragical power that such a tale was calcu•
lated to inspire. The minutest circumstances of interest
are unfolded with faithful simplicity. The childish
frolics of the young Princess, the beauty and petulance
of the wayward bride of the youthful Monarch of Eng-
land, and their conjugal struggle for the mastery in the
early days of wedlock, afford a lively interlude between
scenes of tearful interest in the mournful drama of her
life. There are several curious original letters of a do-
mestic character, written after the birth of her son
Charles 11., from the Imperial Collection at St. Peters-
burgh, with which Miss Strickland has been favoured by
permission of the Emperor, and there is also much new
and important biographical matter from the secret
archives of France, to which the authoress was granted
free access by the Historian Minister Guizot. The
inedited Diary of Henrietta's Chaplain, Pere Gamache,
has also supplied many passages in this remarkable
biography, tilling up all the broken links, and admitting
the reader into the most intimate acquaintance with the
private life and actions of the Royal Widow during her
residence in France. The scene in which the English
reader is for the first time made acquainted with Hen-
rietta's reception of the intelligence of the murder of her
royal husband, is one of the most heart-rending that can
be imagined, and is related with simple and touching
fidelity.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—To the Ladies.—lt is uni-
versally acknowledged by every one of taste that how-
ever beautiful a woman may be, if her hair is deficient
either in quantity, quality, or colour, one of her greatest
charms is wanting. A complete remedy for all this is
to be found by visiting the establishment of Ross and
Sons, and choosing either head-dresses that surpass na-
ture herself, fronts, bands, or ringlets that assist her, or
splendid plaits that, encircling the thin hair, give it all
the appearance of a luxuriant growth. The partings
are so admirably contrived that the nearest inspection is
confounded ; the transparency of the web, admitting the
skin of the head to be seen through, they may be de-
scribed as being as light as a feather.—Address Russ
and Sons, 119 and 120, Bi)hopsgate-street, London, who
have lately invented the Depinquitory for cleansing the
skin, parting of fronts, &c.

One of the greatest impositions practised at the
present day by shopkeepers, not only in London, but in
every city and town throughout the kingdom, is that of
forging the property of another, and imposing on the
public the forged article with all the assurance of inno-
cence. We allude in the present instance to those ad-
mirable requisites for the toilet, the Macassar Oil, Kaly-
dor, and Odonto, as prepared by the Messrs. Rowland,
and which, from their merits and reputation, are the
constant objects of fraudulent imitation. The parties so
imitating concoct some trashy compounds resembling in
appearance those of Messrs. Rowland, and by adopting
the very same names and copying the labels and bills,
endeavour to pass off their trash as the " genuine " arti-
cles, reckless of the injury which they will inevitably in-
flict on those who are deceived by using them. We
should have imagines' that an English tradesman, whose
reputation for honour and integrity is proverbial, would
not have stooped to the meanness of so base and paltry
an action. Nevertheless we know for certain that such
is the case, and we would advise all patrons of Messrs.
Rowland's articles to purchase only of respectable ven-
ders—and particularly to observe the caution in their
advertisement which frequently appears in our paper.
DEAFNESS—ACOUSTIC INSTRUMENTS.-39, Albe-
marle-street, Piccadilly.—lnvisible Voice Conductors,
when fixed in the cavity of the ears, are not more uncom-
fortable nor perceptible than having a small piece of
wool in its place. They enable individuals at an ad-
vanced age, and of forty or fifty years' standing of ex-
treme deafness, instantly to join in general conversation,
and to catch the sound of a distant, low speaker, at
church, theatre, &c. They pour the conversation into
the ears to such an extent, that in most severe cases
deafness cannot be observed. Also original Ear Cor-
nets, French, German, and Spanish Artificial Ears, and
improved Hearing Trumpets of every description. Many
of those instruments have received the approbation of
the Royal Society and Royal Institution of Great Bri-
tain. The Newly Invented Spectacles, immediately
they are placed before extremely imperfect vision, it
's brought to its youthful, natural, and original state.
Also Achromatic Telescopes, Opera-glasses, Micro-
scopes, &c.—Caution : Messrs. S. and B. Solomons,
jpticians and Aurists, are not in any way connected with
a person of the same name in their immediate neigh-
ciourhood, nor in any part of the country, To prevent
nistakes, be cautious, and observe—Only to be had at
39. Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel.
The Marchioness of Douro has recovered her gold
watch, worth one hundred guineas, which had been presented to
her Ladyship by the Duke of Wellington. It was found by an
elderly female, who took It to the Commissioners of Police, by
whom it was restored to her Ladyship, who rewarded the finder
with 101.
