Lames' FASHIONS sot( JULT.—At dinner time, the,
ladies an melancholy in a cap of white crape, and a chemisette of
black; and their robe is a black gros de Naples. In the evm,
they mourn in a black crape hat and ostrich feathers; and for the
more hidden sorrow, wear underneath their robe of black crape a
dress of black silk. Out of doors, grog de Naples is resumed ; and
they an tender in "a transparent bonnet of black crape, with a fall
'of very short ditto, as clear as arophane." and " slightly crimped." -
In the morning, they are in " plain black batiste ever a black

If the Week.
At Windsor, every day since the preparations for the
Royal funeral commenced, a lady in deep mourning, closely veiled,
and carrying a white parasol, surmounted by a large bunch of black
crape, fastened with a rosette of crimson Abend, has made her way
through the crowd of busy workmen in the lower ward of the Castle,
to the portcullis gateway at the foot of the keep ; and there falling
upon her knees, and plating her hands together in the attitude of
prayer, she bows her head upon them, ant so retnains—sometimes
'for more than half an hour, unmoved by the clatter and confusion
around her. At first, this singular proceeding attracted the general
attention of the labourers and loiterers s and the green-coated warder
it the gate endeavoured to prevail upon her to seek a less public el-
tuation for her devotions, but she would not be diverted from her
purpose, and she now continues it unheeded by any body. Her ge-
neral bearing is lady-like; her attire shabby genteel, and rather
antiquated. No one knows her.
WAGGERY OF LORD ELDON.—The grave Earl of
Eldon, who seldom suffered his features to relax into a smile when
in Lincoln's Inn-Hall, or on the woolsack, has suddenly become
facetious, though the occasion selected for his jocularity appears
somewhat inopportune, and, as some think, indelicate. In the de.
bate en the Address to the King, lie answer to his Majesty's Mes-
sage, the noble and learned lewd argued for the appointment of •
regency, to guard against the difficulty which would arise on the
possible demise of the crown, and the remote probability of an em-
bryo-succenor. His lordship treated the question by hypothesis,
like a subtle and cunning logician. He supposed that another Guy
Fawkes had succeeded in blowing up the whole House of Peers,
with the exception of the noble and learned lord on the woolsack, in
which melancholy dilemma, before writs were issued to the suc-
cessors of many of their lordships, Ms noble and learned friend
would have to inquire whether their lordships' left widows, for if
they had left no issue born, the inquity would be whether their wi-
dows were in that state which afforded a prospect of successors to
their titles and estates. The noble earl then spoke of "little peers
—not then visible—but who might be so in due course of time;"
and contended that until all embryo doubts were removed, the right
of succession would be as it were in abeyance. From these pre-
mises, he drew the conclusion that the house was bound to "doubt'
whether the Queen might not at some future period be in "that
state" which he assigned to their lordships' widows. Lord Eldon
has been " doubting for half a century ; but as he has " issue
born" be may set leis doubts at rest, as there is no possibility
fee a " little peer" being in embryo to contest his honours.—
