SMITHFIELD, Fin. 1.

Our Market this morning was abundantly supplied with
prime Cattle, and business in the early part of the morning
was uncommon brisk ; Beef was cheaper. The show of Sheep
was large, but owing to the briskness in the trade, sales
could (July be effected at our last quotations. Veal was
dearer, and Pork cheaper.—The business in the Hay Market
was brisk, and fine samples of Hay fully maintained last
week's quotations ; Clover was brisk sale, and full 4s. per load
dearer; Straw remains the same in price as last week, but
very little doing in that article.—The annexed is a correct
statement of the Numbers and Prices at Market :

TO LESBIA.
I..essta! let us live and love,
`ilappy as the Gods above!
And should greybeards aim at teaching.,
Cry—" a fig for all your preaching"—
Suns may rise again when set,
But, Girl, ne'er let us forget,
That when sets our short-He'd day,
Night comes ne'er to pass away.
Give,a thousand kisses then—
Now of thousands give me ten—
Now a hundred thousand more—
Kiss again those thousands o'er—
Then, my Life, rub out the score—
Lest ourselves we know our kisses,
Or some churl begrudge our blisses,
Should he see upon our list
How by thousands we have kiss'd.

LONDON FASHIONS.

factures, 4,c. ere.]

WALKING Daiess.—A high dress composed of French grey
CircasSian cloth : the bottom of the skirt is ornamented with
hands of white lutestring, edged with cord the colour of the
dress, which forms lozenges; each lozenge is ornamented at
the top and bottom with a whitEAutestring rose, the heart of
which is very much seen : it is formed of hard-twisted silk,
and this gives the flower a rich and novel appearance. The
body is made up to the throat, but without a collar ; it is orna-
mented round the top of the bust with a light silk triniming;
both the back and front are full, but the Athenian braces,
which are worn with it, confine it to the shape. These
braces, which are peculiarly advantageous to the figure, are
composed of white lutest ring, and have a very full epaulette
of the same material. The dress has a plain long sleeve, the
bottom of which is tastefully finished to correspond with the
epaulette. The head-dress is a French walking hat, in shape
something similar to a gentleman's : it is composed of plain
straw-coloured silk pluche, and lined with slate coloured sa-
tin ; the crown is oval, and of a moderate height ; the brim
is rather large, but is formed into an oval shape, by being
turned up in a soft roll on each side. The edge of the brim
is richly ornamented with slate-coloured satin, twisted to
form what the French salt a torsarle. A long plume of
white ,strich feathers, the edges of which are curled, is
placed on one side. French grey gloves. Half-boots, the!up-
per part French grey silk, the lower part black leather. A
large India scarf is thrown over the shoulders. This dress is
worn in carriage costume, as well as for elegant promenade
dress.

Ever:int DRESS.—A round dress composed of white satin :
the skirt falls in easy folds round the figure ; the bottom of it
is richly trimmed with a double ruche of white net, over
which is a beautiful wreath of white net roses, intermixed with
large velvet leaves : this is surmounted by a net ruche, to
correspond with the bottom. The body is cut low round the
bust, but so as to shade the bosom in a very decorous mari-
ner ; it is trimmed with lace tabs. The bottom of the waist is
ornamented to correspond. A very short lace sleeve, made
full : the body is contrived in a very novel way, so as to form
a part of the sleeve. The head-dress is a low white satin
tosne, ornamented in front with white roses, which are sur-
mounted by a plume of ostrich feathers : it is tied under the
chin by a row of pearls, finished by pearl tassels.

[Front La Belle dissent/dee for February.]

ENGLISH BALL DRESS.—Frock of scarlet gauze, brocaded
with white silken flowers, worn over a white satin slip; the
dress richly ornamented with fine lace. The head-dress con
sisting of either a beautiful tiara of pearls, or a fancy orna-
ment of downy plumage, or of irostedfolian frivollte ; this
ornament is, however, almost concealed by a bonnet la Turc,
composed entirely of white ostrich feathers, playing in dif-
ferent directions. The s' amina of the Turk's cap, with the
pistil, are represented by a plume of short white beren's
feathers.

EVENING DRESS.—Gallician frock of black Italian gauze,
over a white satin slip : short sleeves. Head-dress composed
of pearl cordons and rich plumes of white ostrich feathers.
Or'ental pearl necklace, and white satin slippers.
FRENCH CARRIACJE COSTUME.—Round dress of fine cambric,
with six flounces of India muslin ; spencer of cherry-coloured
or Tyrian purple velvet, with bonnet to correspond; the
spencer elegantly finished down the bust with rich silk Bran-
dcnhFn•gs; the bonnet lined with white, and surmounted by a
plume of white ostrich feathers. Black satin tlippbrs, and
Florence gloves.
GENERA!. OBSERVATIONS.—In the articles of, jewellery,
garnets, sapphires, and turquoise stones are in high favour
while the topaz still maintains its sunny station as an orna-
ment to dark-coloured dresses. The favourite colours are
slate-colour, Arctic blue, orange, and emerald green.

The SPEAKER of the House of Commons com-
menced his Parliamentary dinders yesterday, with
the Ministerial Members.

Duke of CLARENCE, the rank and title of a Coun-
sellor of the Court, and to nominate him one of
her Serene Highness's State Physicians.—(llleinun-
gen Gazette, Jan. 11, 1819.)
Monday last a numerous and respectable party
of the friends and admirers of BURNS cele-
brated the Anniversary of his birth in the Globe
Inn, Dumfries, John Comment), Esq. in the
chair, supported by John Sytne, Esq. of Ryedale.
Mr. Grierson officiated as croupier. The ori-
ginal portrait of the Poet was placed above the
President's chair, while the side-table, was
adorned with an elegant model of a monument,
different from that which has been erected in
Dumfries. The evening was spent in the utmost
harmony and happiness,and one could have almost
imagined that the portrait of the poet was smiling
upon his admirers.

dresses of Condolence to his Royal Highness the
PRINCE REGENT; front St. Albans, Dover, County
of Foam., Bewdley and Malden. They were all
presented' by Lord StDmourn, and most gra-
