office of Solicitor-General is not yet filled up, but Mr.
SI.TG,./EN is generally considered as likely to succeed Sir

Numerous candidates are represented as likely
to start fur the Representation of Cambridge on the ap-
proaching vacancy : among those already named are Mr.
CAVENDISH, Mr. GOULBURN, Mr. F. POLLOCK, Mr. C.
Law, and Mr. H. BANK es.—Morning Paper.

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.-Mr. GEORGE
BANFES, M.P. for Corfe Castle, has announced himself a
Candidate for its Representation, in the following letter
to the Members of the Senate:—

" Sir—lt is generally understood that a vacancy will
soon occur in the Representation of the University by the
elevation of Sir N. TninAr. to a Judicial Office. I ven-
ture to solicit the favour of your vote upon this occasion,
hoping that the principles which have hitherto actuated
my conduct may induce you to confide in me as being ever
anxious to promote the interests of the University, and to
preserve unimpaired the rights and psi% ileges of our Eccle-
siastical Establishment. I have the honour to be, with
the greatest respect, your very faithful and obedient servant,
" GEORGE BANKES."

GREASE SPOTS.—The following method of
removing grease and oil I,pots from silk and ether articles,
without injury to the colours, is given in the Journal des
Connaisances Usuelles :—Take the yolk of an egg and
put a little of it on the spot, then place over it a piece of
white linen, and wet it with boiling water : rub the linen
with the hand, and repeat the process three or four times,
at each time applying fresh boiling water: the linen is to
be then removed, and the put thus treated is to he washed
with clean cold water.— 'World of Fashion.
A STRANGE VISITOR.—A short time back
the servant of a Protestant Clergyman, residing near
Ulard, (Borvis) having occasion for opening the hall-door
at a very hearly hour of the morning, was much discon-
certed ,at finding a hand-basket, neatly packed, accom-
panying the door in its motion inwards. Upon examina-
tion, it was found that the wicker-work contained a deposit
of quite another manufacture—a lovely male infant—and
that the basket had been made fast to the knocker of the
door. " The early bird catches the worm."—Carlow
Morning Post.

Great interest was excited in the town on
Thursday week last by a rowing match, which took place
about half•past eight in the evening. Six seamen had
given a challenge to row the Sir Edward Bankes against
the Lady of the Lake, the latter boat being decidedly the
fastest of the two. The starting place was about a mile
and a half from Common Staith Quay to a boat stationed
in the middle of the river opposite the Ferry Stairs. Not-
withstanding the coldness of the evening, several thousand
pers‘ms (a great part of whom were ladies) assembled on
the Quay,
Saint Anne's Fort, and the various wharfs and
nildings by the river side, •to witness this novel and
pleasing trial of skill. Many boats and vessels were on
the river, and those which hoisted sails, having from the
direction of the wind to tack iu going to the starting
point, rendered the scene diversified and beautiful. On a
gull fired from a pleasure yacht the two boats started, and
in a few minutes glided past the spot on which we were
standing in the finest possible style to the winning place,
the Lady of the Lake heading her rival by at least 100
yards, thus proving the winning boat, notwithstanding the
exertions of the jolly tat s. • The above snatch we . under-
stand has given rile-to another, to take place sometime
next week, —Norwich Mercury.

rEmALE FAsHIONs ron

(From La _Mlle Assemblee. )

CONCERT I)RESs.—A Mess of soft summer

satin, of a bright rose-colour. A very broad hem
surrounds the border of the skirt) beaded In' a
cordon of flower, either in embossed embroidery,
the work of the artificial fLoi,t, or of raised satin :
all arc Eequally fashionable. The body is dla Cir-
cassienne, with short sleeves. The bead-dress is a
magnificent oriental turban, of rose crape, orna-
mented by a be, plumage of ostrich feathers.
The car-pendants and necklace, from the latter of
which a content-cross depends, are all of fine bril-
liants, mixed with rubies; the cross of diamonds.

EVENING DRESS.—This costume, which is adapt-
ed to a very young lady, is of amber coloured crape
over satin. A broad hem surrounds the border,
generally without any ornament, and if a bead to
the hem should be added, it should be of the most
simple kind. The body is plain, and made tight to
the shape, with the sleeves short, and very full.
The hair is arranged in curls on each side of the
face, and the longer trzsses are brought rather high
on the summit of the head, where they are con-
fined by small plats, wound round, and are finished
by a cluster of rich ringlets. The ear-pendants are
formed of pearls, and the necklace of the same, in
elegant festoons.

PUBLIC PROMENADE DRESS.—A dress of striped
muvlin, the ground of steam-yellow, and the stripes,
which arc very broad, of ethereal-blue. These
stripes are edged on each side with another stripe,
in a pattern of various colours. The border of the
skirt is trimmed with two flounces, each of a mode-
rate breadth, and they are edged and headed by
white cordon. The body is en gerbe and the sleeves,
a la Mamelake, confined at the wrists by a broad
bracelet of dark hair, fastened by a cameo. Over
the shOtilders is worn a mantelet of fine India mus-
lin, trimmed iound with lace; with a full pelerine
cape trimmed in the same manner, and surmounted
by a ruff of lace at the throat, fastened in front
with a rosette of corn•flower-blue ribbon. The hat
is of blue and white striped Bros de Naples; the
White part beautifully figured in a lace pattern; the
trimming consists of white striped ribbon, and green
pine leaves. A deep veil of white blond is WO9i
With this hat.

CARRIAGE PRESS.-2 dress of white jilconet
muslin, with one deep flounce, edged by a narrow
ornament in scalops, and headed by a rozdeau,
through which is drawn a celestial-blue satin ribbon.
The body is plain, with a fieliu-sautoir of blue silk,
painted or embroidered at the edge in green foliage,
and white garden daisies. The fiche is bound all
round with white satin. The sleeves of the dress
arc d lu Illaweluke, flushed at the wrist by a
pointed cuff, embroidered on the outside of the arm
with a delicate bouquet of flowers, in various
colours. A Jfchu is worn under the dress (which
is made partially low) of clear muslin, laid in very
,mall plaits, surmounted by a triple ruff of lace.
The bonnet is of blue crape, and is adorned by a
branch of white exotic flowers, with green foliage,
and bows of white gauze striped ribbon. Half
boots of et lestial-blue corded Bros de Naples.

(From the World of Fashion.)
For these morning lounges, and for the retired
home afternoon costume, we have much admired a
high dress of laven&r-coloured Norwich crape; it
is bordered by one broad flounce, in sharp points,
bound by black satin, and headed by three narrow
black satin rouleaux, and bows the same material
and colour as the dress, bound round in bias by black
satin. The body fastens in front en pelisse, with a
falling square collar, partially pointed, and bound
with black satin. The sleeves fit almost tight to
the arm, and have a chenzisetle-sleeve-Mancheron,
and at the wrists a gauntlet-cuff. A belt encircles
the waist the same as the dress, and is bound in a
manner corresponding with the other trimmings.
One of the newest evening dresses is of white crepe-
Aerophane over white satin : two very broad bias
folds surround the border of the skirt, headed by
white satin rouleaux: the corsage is ornamented
across the, top of the bust, en Chevrons, by satin
rouleaux, and pointed at the base of the waist;
which, as well as the Chevrons, is finished by beau-
tiful blond. The sleeves are en gigiit, with a broad
gauntlet cuff of white satin, ornamented by a row
of very small gold Almeida buttons, set very close
together in bias, on the outside of the cuff. For
the other novelties in the gown department we refer
our readers to our engravings for June Fashions.
For the out-door costume a very beautiful sum-
mer cloak, for the open carriage, has just been com-
pleted at Mrs. Bell's tasteful Magazin de Modes,
in Cleveland-row. This cloak is of Bros de Naples,
of a bright jonquil, and is lined with white sarcenet ;
it envelopes, while it sets off the shape, and is de-
void of all ornament. A pelisse of emerald•green
Indian reps silk is equally admired; it is ornamented
down each side of the bust, and where it closes in
front of the skirt, with green satin, in zig-zag. The
sleeves are d la Mameluke, with a gauntlet cuff, ter-
minating in a point towards the upper part of the
arm, where there is an ornament representing a Fleur
delis, in narrow rouleaux of green satin. A narrow
crape collar, in Castilian points, falls over from the
throat.

Among the new hats and bonnets is one of the
latter, formed of plaided silk, tile ground of which is
fawn, with chequers of pink and black satin, formed
of very n►►rrow stripes, is trimmed with a rich broad
ribbon of dark chocolate brown, edged on one side
with a green satin stripe, on the other with blue.
Scrolls of the same material as the bonnet ornament
the crown, interspersed with the ribbon above men-
tioned, awl tropic birds ; feathers, of pink and yel-
low, complete the embellishments. A rose-coloured
satin bonnet, figured in lozenge-diatnonds, is of a
shape less becoming than the one before described;
this is extremely evasc ; but is filled up by a trim-
ming under the brim, of gauze ribbons striped with
black, blue, and yellow. The bows on the bonnet,
and the loop-strings are pink with a stripe of yellow,
clouded with blue. A small, pink, spiral feather,
finishes the trimming. A very elegant bonnet is of
white gros de Naples, with broad stripes across, the
colour of the Parma-violet : it is very tastefully
trimmed with ornaments of the same, bound with
Canary-yellow : the bows are of gauze ribbon ; a
Spring green, stripped with white and green satin.
A very handsome carriage bonnet is of etherial-blue
satin, with a quilling of blond under the brim, next
the hair. At the edge are placed, beneath two
Esprils, that on the right side, rose colour and
white, on the left, white and yellow ; the bonnet is
bound at the edge by a plaid ribbon, the chequers
of very lively colours nn a white ground ; the bows
and strings are of straw-coloured ribbon beautifully
clouded with bark-brown, rose-colour, and violet.
A most superb plumage of blue, curled feathers,
plays ever the crown and brim.

A blue net beret-turban is of a novel and truly
elegant shape; it is laid in fluted folds, and next the
hair is placed, on one side, an esprit feather of straw
colour. On the opposite side, arid nearer the sum-
mit, is another feather of the same colour, represent-
ing the tail of the bird-of-Paradise, which gracefully
depends over towards the shoulder. A turban of
pink satin and crape, in the Turkish form, is ele-
gantly ornamented with white Marabouts, in vari-
ous directions. Berets are of white crape, with a
bow of satin ribbon, cut in fringe at the ends, falling
over the left side of the hair, under the brim. A
superb plumage of white flat ostrich feathers finishes
this head-dress. The blond caps have experienced
but little alteration since last month; one for half
dress is of beautifully figured gauze ; black, with
pink figures. It is adorned with pink Canterbury-
bells, in bouquets, and pink gauze ribbons, striped
with black. A favourite cap for home costume,
d in fiancee, is of rich white blond and tulle, and
is trimmed with jonquille-coloured gauze, and rou-
lean: of satin ribbon of the same tint.

A beautiful article for dresses has just appeared;

satin stripei of the same on grog de Naples, be.
