FEMALE FASHIONS.

EXTRACTED FROM "LA RELLE ASSEMELEE OR EXECS COURT
AND FA?.IIONABLE MAGAZINE," FOR THE PRESENT MONTH.
The late warmth of the Weather has, in some degree, abolished
the sarsnet pelisse adopted in the evrly part of. the season ; and
mantles, French cloaks, Grecian scarfs, and pelisses of fine white
muslin, arc substituted in their place. The mantle a-la-Villa-
geoise, of fanciful construction, and fashionable simplicity ; the
Nell aver of ditto; the canonical pelisse, and long military scarf;
the cottage cloak, and shawl a-la-Ariadne—all rank amidst a fa-
shionable assemblage.
Flowers were never more in vogne than at this season.
Scarce any lady appears in publk without a little French cloak,
or scarf, shading most becomingly the back and shoulders, which
Wrnild be otherwise somewhat indecorously exposed.
The hair, variously ornamented, is chiefly adopted in full dress,
or evening parties; it still continues in the Chinese and Grecian
style, with some little fanciful dispoiitions. which are guided by
the tuste of the several Individuals.

The Grand Match of Cricket, in Lord's Ground,
which commenced playing on Monday, between ten
Gentlemen of the Mary-la-bonne Club, and Howard,
against eleven of the County of Middlesex, for five
hundred guineas a side, was decided the following
day in favour of the latter, by eighty-three runs.

The Nsw LOAN was taken Upon good terms for
the country, being, as near as possible, the market- I
price of the day, and we have no doubt it will shortly I
prove very beneficial to the Contractors, as the Cons-
missioners for the reduction of the National Debt are
at present confined to purchase in the 3 per Cents. •
and as the purchases of the Life Annuities are to be
Made by a transfer of the 3 per Cents. to the CoMmis-
sioners, the united operation is likely to take out of the
market, weekly, near Five Hundred Thousand 3 per
Cents. amounting, in a year, to the enormous sum of '
Twenty-six Millions ! From these circumstances, we
should not beltirprised if 3 per Cents. Consols were
to rise very considerably before the opening.
