FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER.

Coutil is much used fur dresses intended for country
wear ; those with green or blue stripes on an ecru
,round are embroidered with very narrow braid, and
are often made with corsag, s n basques, with pock. ts.
gobet peignoirs, in toiles de Chine, Bros de Naples
striped lengthways, or foulards in horizontal stripes, are
also fashionable.
Narrow fringes are in great request, and made in
every variety, as is also the dentelle de Grenade, which
forms a pretty contrast ou satins and watered silks ;
gimps I jour are much used on shot silks. Some
autumnal dresses are trimmed with four rows of fringe
or gradual widths.
- Toilettes entirely of black have been fashionable last
month in Paris for visiting dresses ; they are much re•
keyed by the quantity of lace used on them, such as four
rorP of narrow lace en tablier ; large lace sleeves, and
lace scarf, and black lace bonnet, ornamented with a
coloured flower, also five and six flounces of black lace
and oannezous, with sleeves of black lace, are worn ;
some redingotes are made this season with the pointed
backs la grand' me.-e. The prAtiest form of corsage
for tarlatanne, and materials of clear transparent tex-
ture is that a la vierge ; the fullness confined round
the top in a band, with square shoulder- strap ; this
style revives the narrow ceinture, with small buckle.
Slight taffetas, in all light colours, are worn for even-
ing dress, with trimmings of flounces, cut in deep fes-
toons, and edged with narrow fringe, or a narrow blonde
neige; the corsage pointed with berthe of the same;
sometimes on these large berthes, narrow hies is laid, but
they are usually plain. Pretty travelling cloaks are
made of grey levantine, lined with flannel or merino,
checked in dark blue, green, or red. Scarfs with hoods
are also worn. Bonnets i la Suisse, chevriere, or gla
neuse, accompany all toilettes de campagne, ornamented
with field flowers; they are sometimes lined with co-
loured silk, and trimmed with silk velvet. For pailles
de riz, Leghorns, &c., plumes of small feathers are very
fashionable; sautes marai,:;ats, pink and black, are used
on black lace bonnets,—London a:id Paris Magazine of

FOREIGN CATTLE AND PROVISIONS.—The importa-
tion of cattle, &c., from Holland last week has met with more
success than was the case in the instance of the last voyage
of the Batavier from Rotterdam, of which' we gave an ac-
count; the passage this time having been made without
the least detention on account of squally weather at sea, and
the cattle having been safely landed in very excellent con-
dition. The Batavier steam-ship, from the port of Rotter-
dam, arrived at the St. Katharine Steam-wharf on Wednes-
day evening, with her usually extensive cargo, consisting of
66 4.xen and cows and 53 sheep, which were of superior
quality and in excellent condition, and were, after the usual
inspection, landed and delivered immediately; a quantity of
yeast, poultry, melons, 1,977 baskets of fruit of various de-
scriptions, besides a variety of every description of Dutch
produce and manufacture usually imported into this country
from that place. 'I he General Steam Navigation Com-
pany's vessel Columbine, which reported on Friday frets
the same place, brought 24 calves and 46 sheep, which were
landed at and delivered from the Brunswick-wharf, Black-
wall, with 3r39 baskets of plums, pears, and other descriptions
of fruit, 25 baskets of peas, 2E4 barrels of yeast, 9.,quantity of
cheese, and other produce. The same company s
from Havre, al=o brought 255 baskets o various escrip-

dale, from Hamburr4h, on the same day, brought 25 shecp,
some oxen, 241 packages of plum., 12 baskets of other de-
scriptions of fruit, besides a variety of other produce ; and
the Caledonia, on the same day, from the same 'lace, brought
besides a variety of other articles, upwar,'S of 2110 paci,sor,s
of plums, &c. The whole of the fruit btought by these
vessels waslanded at the St Katharintss Wharf, where the
revenue officers stayed each evening after the official
hours of bu.iness, and at which every facility was given for
its immediate inspection and delivery with all possible dispatch.
The importation of plum, in „articular, and fruit generally,
has been very extensive for the last fortnight or three weeks,
and it has, generally speaking, arrived n first-rate condition and
been found to be of a very superior quality.
