FEMALE FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER.
Simplicity of dress is now the order of the day, and it
mus be confessed that our Marcharadss in Nodes have
romewhat of a difficult task to combine simplicity with
elegance, so as to give a dress that air distisgue which ought
to characterise whatever is worn by women of fashion. This
secret, however. Mrs. Bell has lone been known to possess.
She has just given fresh proof of it in her selection ofdresses
for the ensuing month.
HATS MID HONNETS.—We Still see a fcw bats of rice.
straw, and, by a singular caprice of fashion, they are row
ornamented with dowers in place of feathers, which, instead
of being arranged as they have been worn, in sprigs, are
united in a bouquet, tied closely together, and placed very
high on one side. Bonnets are, for the must part, of rich
sill:s, as moire, which is most in favour, or else yros des
hides. or the aerw material, gros Polo.lais ; this List is an
extremely rich silk. One of the prettiest eapoteeof the month
is of rose.coloored :roe POThrifsia, with the material disposed
in plaits upon the crown. A faller blond lace is arranged in
the style of a fan, round r bouquet of ostrich feathers, which
ornaments one side of the crown. Another autumnal novelty is
a teapot* of bird of Paradise moire, trimmed with peaceas
ribbons and wild daisies. A large knot of ribbon, with a
bouquet of these flowers in the centre, was placed near the
top of the crown on the left side, and another: near the bottom
of the crown on the right. The Insides of the brims of
bonnets are trimmed with pompons of gummed tulle, edged
with pmeowass--they resemble a full-blown enuelist at a
distance. We see also many bonnets ornamented on the
inside of the brim with blond lace, and some entirely co-
vered with it in the how of a fan.

MAZE AND MATEaIALS OF Ohm= AND EVENING
Daces.—Gros Pelmets, grew d'Autontae, gra dc ChEss,
salt:. Polanais and Mien de is Reins, are all likely to be in
favour, and some themes of them have already been ordered.
At present Maly and pakeyrienne are most fashionable in
dinner-dress, and game de lain. and gas. Cienostakse for
evening parties. The most fashionable corsages are those
crossed en ewer, trimmed with a mantilla which, forming
jockey on the sloisuldets, terminate in front just under the
sleeve, Beret sleeves arc still in favour, but nut quite so ge-
nerally adopted aethose composed of a single bouffant, or-
namented with ribbons falling in aigeilettes.
CLomts..—On the mantles and cloaks that will be worn
this winter arc designed various patterns of embroidery. A
wadding, hid down on the inside, has the effect of raising
the work, and giving it great richness.
OENTLE3IEN'S PAWMAT3 FOR OCTOBER, 1831*
The most fashionable colours fur froLks are black, ligh
blue, and rifle green ; although single-breasted frocks have
been snore worn of late, yet we must say that the double.
breast has the preponderance in the scale of fahiort. In the
double breasted frock, the lappel and collar are made to
form an entire roll, and have the appearance of a s all in.
cation, of about an inch in length. The sing' :-breasted has
a rolling breast of about three inches; the lappet and collar
ends are of equal width, and have the appearance of a half-
diamond having been taken out.
For Dress Coats, blue, black, and dark browns. If the
figure be full and prominent about the hips, make the coat
without flaps; but if rot so, flaps should be added, as they
assist much by their eppearance. The waists of sU coats
are worn longer, anti the hip butt Ons about 36 inches apart,
that is in a waist of 29 or 30 inches.

The side seam is less cutveel than usual, and the skirt
rather shorter and fuller. The sleeves have no puckering at
the heads, hut are still cut to fit hoot the elbow to the slut.
Fir waisteusta, there are some novelties bob for morning
end dress, whicie dtserve notice. For undress, they arc of
silk, of a large pattern, a sort of sprig or flower of white,
and on a brmsn or light blue ground. these are made
double-breasted, with large lappets, 4 and 4 inches in s ietb
at top. but nut more than 14 inches at bottom ; they are cut
to button across the breast close, the collar ends just meeting,
but they are mostly worn with collar and breast turned
bact.

Fora Dimas W•istcoras.—lre have the most splendid
things introduced, consisting of a dark purple silk and gold,
in a 'witty of patterns ; these must be seen to form an ode-
qua.e idea of their beauty ; they are much in request, and
unr thing in their favour is, that the price bring from two
to two and a half guineas per yard, placer there out of the
reach of the vulgar. On this account alone, gentlemen
ought. to patronise this description and distinction of dress ;
as, latterly, there has been no (litre:lnce of dress between the
shopman and a 'squire. These waistcoats should be ne:de
with a full rolling collar, and singk.breasted.
Fos TnowsLas.—The plaids, as we foretold, have almost
disappeared, and have been capenteded by a ribbed kersey.
mere; they are a mixture of brown and blue, and well cal.
ciliated for this season of the year. Fawn colour and Cam.
bridge mixture are amongt the favoured colours too, jits.
now. Troy/sus are not buttoned up in front ; that cut s• tan
to have reverted to rchool boys, who find it very convenient.
The most fashionable nowsers are made with a whole fall
down, which bet tons at the sides on a broad strap. and *hen
buckled, brace in the waist most effectually. They are
worn to tit the shape all the way down, and not to cover t. e
much of the foot ; a vent at bottom is dispensed with, but it
*oleo :lump demand% ore, or a tongue instrted in the instep.

VI EN NA, ►SEPT. 20.—Up to the 19th at noon,
there were reckoned 665 attacked with the cho-
lera; 36 had recovered health, 268 were dead, an .
361 were under cure.

The ravages making in Vienna by the cholera
morbus are frightening the French. The authori-
ties have, however, taken every precaution upon
the frontier, and the Prefect of Police in Paris
issued orders yesterday for the construction of new
fountains in the capital, that the inhabitants should
have an abundant supply of good water, for the
purification of the city.
