the back between the shoulders, and goes down on each side
of the front. Instead of a collar, the body is ornament.
ed at tile throat by a single row of work, headed by a
rouleau of muslin. The skirt is of an easy fulness; it is
richly embroidered round the bottom in a light pattern of
branches of leaves placed upright. Over this dress is worn
a pelisse composed of pearl-coloured striped lutestring, trim-
med round with a row of light embroidery in a wave pat-
tern of pearl-coloured silk. The body is wade plain,
light to the shape, and the waist is of a tiiuderate length;

dress, the Clarence bonnet, composed of blond intersetteil

size: it is tied under the chin with pale pink satin ribbon.
Lemon-coloured gloves, and pale pink slippers.
EVENING Dress.—A blue satin slip, over which is a British
net frock : the body is cut very low all round the bust; and
the waist, which is extremely short, is ornamented, in the
French style, with a row of blond set on full at the bottom.
The sleeve is short ; it is.made very full, and is decorated with
knots of bltie ribbon. The skirt of the frock is made more than
usually full ; it is trimmed in a manner at once striking, taste-
ful, and singular : this trimming consists of a deep flounce of
rich blond lace, which is intermingled with branches of grape-
blossoms, and surmounted by a row of satin cockle-shells,
which are placed at sonic distance from each other, and con-
nected by a narrow rouleau of satin. Head-dress, the Kent

richly embroidered in shall roses. This toque is made higher
than we hate observed thetn lately, particularly in front ; the
gauze is laid very full on the fore part of the crown ; this
fulness is formed into large Spanish puffs by two bands of the
same material, which confine it : it is worn without any other
ornament. Necklace and ear-rings are composed of sapphires.

THE LATE EARL OF KERRY,—The Will of the
late Earl of KERRY was proved in Doctors' Com-
mons on the 23d instant, by Eliza, wife of the
Rev. Nathaniel,Hinde, Clerk, the sole Executrix.
The property in the province of Canterbury Was
sworn to be tinder 18,0001. It is dated the 27th
of January, 1813, and commences with directions
for an economical funeral, the Earl desiring to
be interred in Westminster Abbey, in the same
coffin with his late wife. The Head Verger, and
his Assistants, have a legacy of 501. as a requital
for the trouble it may occasion them. All real
estates in England and Ireland, and shares of col-
leries in the county of Durham, are given to the
Marquis of Lamelimn and his heirs for ever ; as
are also the Earl's claims upon the French Go-
vernment for personal property, in plate, books,
pictures, and furniture, confiscated and sold in
Paris. These are stated to be particularized in a
separate document, which is not, however,
amongst the testamentary papers. The funded
property is made chargeable with a number of an-
nuities and legacies, chiefly to servants, and the
remainder is given to the Society for promoting
Christian; Knowledge. The residue is left to his
cnus►t, Mrs. Hinde (whose maiden name was
CraMer). There are three codicils, the last of
which is dated on the 6th of September, 1817,
and states, that some years ago the Testator re-
covered an action at law, with costs and damages,
against a Nit. Baxter, a carpenter, for the non-
performaniee)tof a contract, which, however, the
Testator had voluntarily offered to mitigate, pro-
vided be would, by the payment of the mitigated
sum, render further coercive measures unneces-
sary ; that, notwithstanding this lenity, he was
so obstinate as not to comply with the offer, and
the sentence of the Court was accordingly en-
forced; but not considering the pnsnance of the
judgment to the extremity (however great the
provocation) to be strongly consonant to the mild
principles of Christianity, the Earl bequeaths to
the said Mr. Baxter, and his heirs, or successors,
the sum of seven hundred pounds sterling.

Near thirty different towns partook of the Two
30,0001. Prizes litsu shared in the last Lottery,
which contained Prizes of that amount ; and as
the Lottery which begins NEXT TUESDAY con-
tains Two similar grand Prizes, we hope Rtsm
will be able to give as good an account of them;
and 30,0001., Prizes appear to he great favourites
with him, for there have been but 13 in the last
10 vea"rs, out of which he has sold Nine.
AcctnENT.--,•Yesterday morning, about seven
o'clock, two sailors On board a ship lying off the
Hermitage quarrelled about some tobacco, and
scuffling together, both fell overboard and were
drowned.
