,DOGHERTY, AND BURN;

These men stripped, and when about to set to
fora si:b.,cription-purse, Burn took great pains to
4:splay a shoe stuck with nails, sufficient to torture
his adversary, which the umpires objeded to ; and
Burn, like a true cur, said he had no wish to fight
if his shoes were taken from him. Any thing was
proposed to reconcile a fight on the part ot Dog-
herty ; but the affrighted Burn, whose looks were
.evident, _would not he persuaded to combat, al-
though llogberty started • ftom the ring with the
epithet of coward in his mouth, and promised him a
milling when he met him. The amateurs recom-
mended a horse-whip to this impostor, and he fled
to avoid their indignation. Burn has fought once
or.twice, but is a known bad one,
.and a cur of the
first order.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREVAILING FASHIONS -701 THE
MONTH, AS TAKEN FROM MiNui-E OIasi.RVATIoN, By A
LADY OF DISTINGUISHED i As r E, FROM REAL DRESSES,
AND REPRESENTED BY COLOURED PRINts; LXTRACC-
SED FROM NJ. 5, (NEW st."RIE.i) OF `` LA BELLE I.SSEM.
BL'sE," FOR THE PRESENT MONTH.
The prevalence of the cold easterly winds during the last
month,
cannot more sensibly have atf.:ctect the vegetaSle than
the fashionable world, for to this cause we suispose• we Must
1- ascribe the little novelty we have observed in our gay prome-
-1 miles; the atillospllere has been so unsettled, .thatno depend.
ance could in the weather for two hours together; our climate
is a terrible enemy to that airy elegant style of dress so'well
adapted to the light nymph-like figure of our fair cOtUttfy-
i women. . . •.
As Kensington Gardens, is genirallt supposed to be the
most fashionable place of reSot t at this -SeAson of the jiir,
1 we hays drawn our Sample's of fashion, torlhc.most part,
3-from this source. . ~ ... _
.. .
Mantles we observed are-entirely laid aside, and are prettily
supplied by the Austrian tippet in.whini-satiii,..but as riarneS
generally convey but little idea, we must nieutton that this
tippet is made rounki„ in the pelerine torus, with a small hood
composed ot lace and satin ; wnite satin caps or bonnets, are
wont with No dress, urn-merged with wii:ie ostrich IC..itilerS.
We observed inyong ladies Of the. first -rank a visible pseter•-
ence was givetigp pelisses' in plain or tiorecl'sitianet ; they
were made in the hack of au easy graceful length, confined in,
but loosely flowing over the shoulders, tina tailing back so as
todiaplay the dress, which was- twcessaniyinate high in the
front, wit II a prolusion of lace let .i%ti and tinimied round the
bottom with a double-bounce of lace. '- '
Febsses were mostly of a walking length, scolloped round
the bottom, with Classic collars, that CIIIIcT stand up or tall
-back. Spencers arc now cold-inert to tile morning, except
those whichre now made of .vhite sarSener, trimmed with
broad lace; these,rank high in the first clas of dress. In lull
promenade dress; • when tile weather is-remarkably tine, the
hair should be dressed with merely a light lace veil, raised
by a,gold or pearlsotnb, or bunch of towers thrown over it.
The bonnet should correspond in quality, as well as colour,
with the pelisse; and unleSs worn much on one side, and or.
.naniented with a white ostrich feather drooping on one side
ot the face, should be much interspersed with lace, the front
wholly composed of it, and raised irons the face with-a bunch
of wild roses mixed with geranium. Lace handkerchiefs,
worn.on thehead with a 'flower in Trent, or a cap with lap.
pets, may with propriety be worn on a public parade.
'MORNING DRESS. —ln Morning diess we have seen no-
thing new ; they are either laced in the: back, • wrapped over
the bosom, or made in the French coat form, overa petticoat
and :body of the same; the-coat, sleeves, collar, and bottom
of the dress is then usually trimmed with Vahayke ribOon,
•or edged with 'fine lace kdging. The waists are worn rathr
long,- but by `no means in tlitextreme. It is almost needless
3o observe,. that nothing but white can be worn in the morn.
, irig. Yor Dinner, orafternoon dresses, sarsentts are the most
appropriate, made just above the -rise of the bosom, °ma.
inented with worked inuslin.or lace,- in the form of a small
bankerchiel or tippet; the .sleeves are universally worn long.
The trains ate not increased in length; a band clasped with
coloured gems, remains the most prevailing ornament for the
. waist. - .' ' • ' . : : -
EVENING DR.ESs.--:111 Evening, or full dress, the gowns
are made considerably lower in, the b.,soin,_ but with long
• sleeves, and still in the frock style behind, with a moderate
train, the bottom trimmed with a double flounce of lace, or
a plain narrow edging. A profusion of ribbun.in trimming's
is worn, intermixed with crape, lace, figured pauses or plain
muslins: In Dancing dreSses, a variety of trimmings in anti.
ficial flowers. are worn, but here again the sleeNes are worn
long, to conceal the died of the quick circulation of blood
in the arms. On the.head of a. very interesting girl we no.
• ticed a simple wreath of butter-cups, which, laying very flat
-on the hair, was very becoming.. ~• .
Shoes are worn, for walking, to correpond with the dress,
but where.the colours will admit of a contrast, the white
- MorocCo fot the prtrtnenade seems to be preferred; sandals
are in much esteem, the toes of the shoes are also somewhat
more taper ; spring heels arc coming in ; a little
_rise in the
heels sets of a pretty instep and ancle to great advantage,
and by advancing the body gives an easy gait to the carriage.
In respect to, jewellery, this is not the Season ot ornament,
speaking generally, all nature is So gay that we require little
embellishment from art. Necklaces in pearl, diamonds, and
amethysts seem most in esteem, with drop ear-rings, orna-
ments for the waist and flair to correspond, ,in the fancy.
. flowers, flies, harelequins, peacocks, coronets, •staTs, &e.=-
The prevailing colours for the season are gale blue lilac,. and
. lilac shot with pink,' pale yellow, pink, straw, lavender
bloom, amber shot with white, and apple-grceit...
