Mr. BORRADAILei new flip of 1200 Tons, clef-
tined to Coaft and China, was launched yefterday
from Dubwlw's Yard, Deptford, and cbriftened
the Copula-LAND. The fpeltacle was extremely
stand ; and the numerous affemblage of Ladies,
for whom a 74 gun fhip was provided with a com-
fortable awning, added greatly to the brilliancy of
a lane, which, though momentary, is yet awfully
interefting. A cold collation was provided, and
the ceremony concluded with a ball and fupper at
the London Tavern.

Wednefday laft, at twelve o'clock, the ANTS-
tom a remarkable fine chip, which has been near
iliac years on the flocks, was launched from Sheer-
aefs every decoration which could
aid the interell, beauty, and fplendour of this moll
grand fpeitacle. Sheawas decorated with the jack,
enfign, imperial flandard, and admiralty flag. A
large concourfe of perfons alfembled, and were
hiOly delighted, by the mamificence of the flip,
4 the very beautiful manner in which the entered
,e *gory clement. But what afforded very great
fatidad:on was, that in her paffage from the flocks,
a fink accident happened. Her comple-
ment of guns is to be
.sob on two decks ; aad the
, the following fignaficant emblem at her head,
loris. a bull of Diana, on a feral, holding in one
hand the head of an Antelope, and in the other a
fpeit. It is univerfally allowed by all who have
igen the Aarnote, that the is the fineft Chip of her
that ever was built. She was immediately
teistp into Dock to be coppered.

ARISIAN FASHIONL—The Tetw head dreffes,

aich of late were fo much on the decline, begin
*gain to refume their Tway. They are worn of a
fella. file than heretofore, and are even fwollen

towers 'Abair. Attempts, however, are made
Cotten the deformity of this drea, by adapting
. foniatimes a gathad of flowers, at ether time
firing of diamonds. Not unfrequently a part
is concealed by a Veil, which floats dcnin the
.bulriers, mid lofes under the Shawl. Some
veils are eroidered in real, others in imitation
tare !liver. Indeed the rage for tinfel is now fo
gregt, that it is worn *Mob alp: of Yu& gauze.
Turbans fo ornamented are alto made of the fathe
kind of gauze. In blflf drefsi two kinds of bats
more particularly *ileac& by our skink, :
of rofc colouted Florence, profufely trimmed
ornamented with rote crloored ribbons; the
other nitewiA of Flonnke, either rare or amaranth
zolour, with half of its larger border turned op
before. Hato of velvet only are but vety rare.—
itet and fatin are fancifully tinittd together,
bands of Patin are tifed instead of ribbons.—

Ali velvet is generally united with rote, coloured
,Atio, and white fatin with black amaranth, or deep
Moe velvet. Joni:Nine &tin is alfo made tire of,
more efpecially with black velvet. The number of
..avet hats begins to decreak. Mob caps of em-
broidered Talk, in imitation of lace, is very much
►ague ; und caftan are pretty general, not only
P‘riale, bat aWo of deep green, or deep bmwn
Robes of black crape are worn with long
pretty large fleeves. The gold edging
nfually worn on fhawls now tuns in a fetpentine
font. The veils have fill in front a knot of
poppy flowers. Feathers find great difficulty in
getting into notice. Some fhops,however,hang out
union of two feathers with a tuft of flowers;
colour black and white. The rim of the hair-
:omhs continues to be profisfely enriched with
:rims tones, more efpccially with emeralds and
(elates. The topaze is more generally ufed in
ling:. Cameos are Ilia in ufe for necklaces,
they are commonly ornamented with teal
pearls. Bracelets are made of 'relies of gold, about
. ordinary width of a ribbon. Indeed bracelets
were never worn to loch an excels—three or four
them are often MOM bye the fame perfon—twe
