;amount of petuniary relief to be expected fi om the
commercial body may be pretty clearly anticipated
from the picture we have just given-of their situation:
and as to the Clergy, when the plan was laid before
them, they are said to have expressed their utter inca-
pacity, mitigated, however, by protestations of great
zeal, to furnish any aid that would be at all equal to
the emergency., The sentiments of the Nobility, could
they be ascertained, would not, in all probability, prove
a jot more patriotic. We are not surprised therefore, at the
anxiety manifested by the Ministers to resign, or at the
difficulty to find persons of the least respectability to re-
place them. This is the first consequence of the counter-
revolution: the system which has sprung out of it has
made the State a bankrupt, without any prospect, either
immediate or remote, of emerging from its insolvency.,
Yet the G,.vernment, ,we are told, is busily occupiedl
with the re-organization of the Army, whicb is.to be,
raised to 60,000 men! If the t equisite pecuniary
.funds
are not raised at' the same time, the new Amy will not'
be long in existence when it will become the terror of
its emplOyep.
In the meantime division and' hatred havellprung up
semongst the chief partisans of the ,tyraniry, and the
latter indulge in angry complaints at the ingratitude
and gross neglect which their services have experienced.

The newest form of velvet bonnets is that of a cone reversed;
they are much larger at the upper than at the lower part, with very
large fronts. The only trimming they have is a small fringe round
the edge of the front. The strings are attached to the lower part.
Dress bonnets are of white or red satin, with a Tront three fingers
wide, having a trimming of gold lace. They are also ornamented
with a plume of the birds of Paradise, or two aigrettes. Some of
the elegantes have their violet-coloured velvet bonnets trimmed with
cut-steel pearls twkted into bands : a large loop formed of these
pearls is worn on the right side of tife front, and serves the purpose
tf a cltsp for an aigrette of marabouts. For a morning walk a
fashionable Lady puts on a cloak of white cral-e lined with
t.diety, and edged with a ruche de tulle' and with a blonde de fit four
fingers wide. The back and front of the aortic are gathered, and

of the eppe. Young Ladies wear a white chapeau de, pluche, with
very broad rims of the same form, both before and behind, These
bonnets are ornamented with a large knot of ribbon with four bows.

The death of our revered and lamented 'Commodore,
Sir Robert Mends, has perhaps produced sensatiois
more poignant than usually occur on similar occasions.

deared him to every ofricer and man in the ship.

down and deprived him of his senses. The chests of

most sincere and amiable companion, and one of the
finest Officers that has graced the age in which we
have lived, - • •
His death, produced by ardent and unremitting zeal
in his duty in this malignant climate, was as affecting
as his life had been interesting. An attack of cholera
morhus had for the two preceding days highly
_incapaci-
tated him from his usual active attention to his duty,
and on his partial recovery, he was about proceeding
from his cabin on deck, in conversation with his eldest
son, when he was seized with an apoplectic fit, from
which he never recovered. The scene is beyond my
description; but the deepest sentiments of respect' and
love pervade every heart, and remain with-the hopeless
expectation, that we shall ever in this world' meet with
such another.man. .
