FROM LA BELLE ASSEMBLES.

Home Costusis.—Dress of canary yellow gros de Naples, trim-
med at the border with three broad bias folds of the same material ;
the sleeves very full, and confined at the wrist with three bands of
the same silk as the dress. The corsage is plain, and made partially
low; but the bosom is shielded by a double pelerine of white crape,
gespre, scalloped at the edges, and fastened In front at the throat
with a bow of scarlet and yellow striped riband : this tippet is sur-
mounted by a small frill of lace: the head-dress consists of ailchsi-
weeps cap of the same manufacture, with long pendat strings
of soarlet and yellow riband.
Passau Moir/rum Waxen's Darssm.—A high dress of laven-
der-coloured gros de Naples, trimmed round the border with three
rows of the ume, of full fluted flounces, plaited in the middle ; the
sleeves engirt!, confined at the wrists with straps of the same ma-
terial as the gowl. A pelerine cape falls over the shoulders, trim-
med all round, the same as the skirt, except that this trimming is
narrower that the !ounces ; over the pelerine falls a double collar of
fine Mechlin lace A bonnet of white chip is worn with this dress,
which is more simple. and more a 1' drtglatios than any we have lately
seen from Paris. This bonnet is ornamented in a novel manner,
which takes from it the summer lightness it would otherwise have,
but which we do not much admire; it has bias rouleaux of chip
entwined all over the crown, and reaching over a part of the brim.
We would advise our countrywomen who adndre this dress, to have
the rouleinix of white satin. We only describe it agreeably to the
statement of It from our Parisian correspondent. It has a beauti-
ful full bouquet of blown roses,their buds and foliage placed in front.

An error has generally gone forth on the subject of
Sir Homo* Lowe. That Officer is not appointed Ooveznor of
Ceylon, which situation is now held by Lieutenant-General Sir
EDWARD BARNES. Sir HUDSON Lows is appointed second in com-
mand, and is a Major-Oeneralon the Staff of the above island.
The increase of interest from lbd to 2d. per diem on
the amount of Exchequer Bills about to be re-issued,
raises the interest on each 1001. bill from 21. ss. 7jd. to
Si. Os. 10d. per annum; making an addition of interest
on the whole amount of Exchequer Bills, if calculated
at 4,000,0001. of about 300,0001. per annum.
Ihomas Harrison, of Kidderminster, mealman, was
yesterday brought into the Insolvents' Court, for his
discharge; but, although there was no opposing cre-
ditor in Court, Mr. Porzocit argued for the removal
of the insolvent to Worcester. This was resisted, as
contrary to the provisions of the Act, and entailing
unnecessary expense on the insolvent's estate. The
Court, however, seemed to waver hi its opinion, aid
adjourned the case until Friday.
