FEMALE FASHIONS FOR THE PRESENT
MONTH.

The prevailing colours for this month are rose, green, and pur-
ple of various materials, silk, satin, and plain velvets, ornament-
ed with gold or silver pearls, or embroidery. Satin caps and
hats, with short white feathers, are generally worn. Small morn--
ing or walking hats, trimmed with silk frivolity, are an entire
new and very elegant article. Mantles and pelisses are still much
worn for morning dresses. White is again become the favourite
colour, and great variety Is displayed in the materials and form.—
Mowers are now beginning to appear again in morning and even-
ing caps. The most fashionable style of ,wearing the hair is in
ringlets, ala Ninon. The shoes are embroidered in gpld or silver
for dress; and for undress in silk, chenille, or ribbon.
Mantles aid coats of green Vigonia, or Merino cloth, of va-
rious shades, from tke sober hue of the Spanish fly to the more
lively pea green, have succeeded to the purple, which though a
colour most pleasing in itself, is now beet-Lie too general to find
a place in a select wardrobe. Mantles and pelisses art now
considered mor- elegant when trimmed with gold or sil-
ver lace, or bindiug ; or with black v:lvet, bound, or laid Oar,
and which is sometimes finished at its termination with a ear.
row gold edging, or fiat braid. Some are decorated with borders
of coloured chenille, but these can only consistently belong to the
carriage costume. Bonnets continue to be formed of the same
materials as the coat or mantle, and trimmedto corempond. The
Patriotic helmet, and the College bonnet, each-worn with short
white lace veils, are amidst the most novel and attractive articles
of this kind. The purple and the green beaver hat, somewhat
of the Spanish form, turned up arleh.a loop and acorn tassel of
gold, felling towards the left eye-btow, and ornamented with a
small -.'ersian plume of the same colour, is making its appearance,
and as a carriage decoration,possesses much becoming attraction.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
Saturday se'nnight, being the Annual Meeting of the New-
teorphreda Clete Hunt, to detr-mine the holder of the silver et p
for the ensuing year, a va't concourse of people assembled on the
:round appointed to be run over, between Litutabreen and Far-
rel's Forth, near Belfast, a distance of four miles. -

sell'; Esq. black hone Othello, rode by W. Fairly, Esq.

Agnew, Esq.

jamin Edward's. jun. Esq. brown horse Challenger,rode by
Hanley, Esq.
At stating, the betting was Othello ag inst the field, and. be
won the race ; yet the knowing ones would. most probably have
been disappointed, had not hat. Hugh Edwards lost a stirrup,
which he was obliged to replace bi borrowing one from, a gentle-
Man on the field ; and, notvvithetanding fltit delay, which afford-
ed time for the other horses to bead him seserattfistances, Soldier
ran into.the winning post second, in a capital style.
The other horses made excellent running, and performed their
task of four.lrisb miles in seventeen minutes and a quarter, carry-
ing 13 stone-each, thrdugh a very close and weighty country.
1 he neighbouring hills were crowded with thousands of peeple.-
After the race a fox was shook out on the ground, but be af-
&tided little sport.
The Members of the Club, with a number of their friend:,
then repaired to Gillet's Tay.rn, Belfast, where an elegant dinner
was prepared for them, at which new potatoes were introduced,
with every delicacy of the season ; and the evening was spent
whhibe utmost conviviality to a late hour.
