FEMALE FASHIONS FOR E B RUA it r, 1824.
( Front La Belle Arserablec)
CauttraaE Duress.—A high round dress of British cache.
mire, the colour of the panna-violet, with one very broad
flounce round the border of the skirt. 'The corsage, though
made en gerbe, fits close to the shape; and is surmounted at the
throat by a single falling collar, a la Vandyke, of Urling's
lace, The long sleeves seem as if issuing from a short, full,
chentiitelle sleeve, headed at the shoulders by ntancheron:
of the Persian fashion. A cornelle of fine lace is worn under
the hat with the ends left loose : the hat is one of those small
novel hats, so becoming and convenient, .either for out-
.doors, or the social dinner party. The hat represented in our
engraving is of 'black velvet, edged round with narrow white
blond, and surmounted by two black ostrich feathers. A fur
pelerine-tnantelet is usually worn with this dress; but as there
us no difference in these warm materials since they appeared in
December last, we wished to chew the full beauty of the
corsage, which these pelerines entirely obscure. When the
weather is more mild, there is seldom any other envelope worn
over -it in the carriage than a scarf shawl of canary-yellow
cachemire, with a narrow border elegantly variegated; and
though the costume appears airy when the trees are disrobed
of their foliage, yet, being made high, and of cloth, it has all
the warmth of a pelisse.
EVENING HOME COSTIY TUE.—This elegant style of dress
is adapted particularly for small family parties, where music is
the o der ot the a ening, and at which are found those amateurs
who are on the most friendly terms. Moving chiefly in high
life, a certain style of evening dress is indispensable. This is
generally of white crepe lisse, with three flounces of the same
material ; between each flounce is a row of ring-leaves,
beautifully embossed. The body is made partly in the
Anglo-Greek and partly in the Circassian style. The
sleeves are very short, and are made to resemble the
marschcrons a la Pc, se s the divisions are double, and are
edged round with blond. The hair is arranged in the Egyptian
style, encircled by braids of plaited hair, or strings of pearl ;
over the right temple a few ringlets are seen to escape, and take
off from the antique manner in which die tresses are- disposed.
A blue belt of satin or watered ribbon confines the waist, and
is fastened in front with a silver buckle; necklace consisting of
two rows of pearls in festoons, fastened iu front with a top
brooch.

• Mr. Secretary Canning left Downing-street yesterday, on a
visit to the King, at Windsor.
The Duke of York passed through Worcester on Friday
evening about five o'clock, on his way to Witley Court, upon
a visit to Earl Foley.
Lord Granville gave a magnificent Ball and Supper at his
great hotel in Paris, opt Friday evening. Fifteen hundred
raids were issued in the first instance, and nearly 500 addl.
tional applications were made afterwards. This was the most
superb entertainment that has been given in Paris for many
years. The fair Hostess was • most affable and kind in her at-
tentions to the guests, and the banquet was graced by an ele-
gance, taste, and hospitality worthy the houses of Gower and
Cavendish. .

Lucius Robinson, Esq. has issued cards for a series of petite
:ohm, which commenced on the 25th of January, and are to
be continued every alternate Wednesday during the months of
Febrstary and March. Several of the most distinguised artists
contribute to delight the company with several beautiful Italian
and English airs.

EDINBURGH THEATRE.—Last night Mr. Wuaa,
great repute for the performance of I rish

characters, appeared in the part of Major
O'Flaherty,in the play of the West Indian, and
in Looney ..11•Twoller, in the farce of the Review.

Ile is a lively and clever performer, with a good
vein of comic expression, and true 1 risk humour.
His representations were correct and spirited,
and lie gave the Irish songs, in which he was re-
peatedly encored, ith grace and humour. His
looks are good," and replete with meaning. They
have a mixed expression of naivete and pleasantry
which is quite remote from any thing like broad
farce. The play was on the whole a dull per-
formance, though, with some exceptions, full
justice was done to it.—The farce was more
amusing. and went off with much better success.
—(Cakdozian Mercury, Jun. '26.)

CHARLES ICE/RIME'S successful stand against
the mandate of tl►e Loup CHAMBERLAIN, and
the attempted interdict of IlowA►cn PAYNE'S
Play of Richelieu, is worthy of his spirit, and
may hereafter. be productive of a more N.
beral and enlightened conduct on the part of those
absolute monarchs, the licensers, and one more
favourable to the spirit of the dramatist.

PARODY ON SUAKSPEARE.—It Will observed
one day to a celebrated living character, who is
remarkable for his hospitality, but more remark-
able for an independent spirit, that will not
suffer him to be a hanger on at the tables of the
great ; that he was 46 a man more dined against
than dining."
