Gloves, York tan or Limerick.—Frans eleiermamer Retie:Rory.
Watattrt• Daass—An evening primrose-coloured French
sat-41sec petticoat, trimmed round the bottom with a double bor-
der of clear muslin, drawn full with narrow ribbon of correspon-
ding colour to the petticoat; high body of jaceonot muslin, with
reversed drawing; long sleeve, drawn to correspond. A silk

bows behind. A Shiptott straw bonnet, tied under the chin with
a net handkerchief crossing the crown, and trimmed with a band
of the sane silk net. Sandals of evening primrose coloured kid.
Gloves to correspond.o-From the same.
AUTUMNAL WALXINO Daess—lacconot muslin high dress,
with a triple Bounce of muslin embroidery round the edge, and
slightly scalloped; a row of worked potato surmounts the top
flounce. The body is composed of jacconot muslin and letting-
in lace; the former cut in broad strips and sewed full to the
latter, which is about an inch in breadth; this body is made up
to the throat, but has no collar; the shape is the same as last
month, except that the back is a little broader. Long sleeve of
muslin and lace to correspond with the body. Spenscret of rose-
coloured velvet, of a form the most elegantly simple and tasteful
that we have seen; it is very short in the waist, and tight to the
shape; it is ornamented at top by a lace hill, and is cut so as to
cover the bosom, but to leave the neck bare. This spenseret is
very muds admired, and is certainly truly elegant, but it owes its
principal attraction to the corset over which it is worn, and cer-
tainly nothing was ever so well calculated to display a fine shape
to advantage as the Circassian corset, which has Wen patronised
and recommended with incredible celerity by ladies of the highest
distinction, who are unanimous in declaring it to be the only
corset over introduced that has in every way answered the en-
censiums bestowed upon it. The superior ease, gracefulness;
and elegance which It gives to the female figure, are too obvious
to need a-comment ; while, on the other hand, its beneficial ef-
fects upon the health are daily attested by ladies who rejoice in
the success of an Invention which has freed them from the tor-
tures inflicted by whalebone, steel,. Ste. We must not omit to
ob that the walking-bonnet of this month; which is com-
posed of white satin and rose-coloured velvet, and ornamented
with a plume of white feathers, will certainly become general,
as it is a most elegant bonnet ; it is worn over a small white lace
cap. Rose-coloured jean or leather boots, and Limerick gloves.

MURDER—George Dixon, the man who was dread-
fully beat with a poker about five weeks since by Cor-
nelius Crawley, while in company with an abandoned
woman in Vine-street, St. Martin's, died a few days
agn, of his wounds. The Coroner's Inquest, which
sat on the body, returned a verdict of—Wilful mur-
der against Cornelius Crawley, and a warrant was is-
sued for his apprehension. Watson and Waller, two
of the constables of St. Martin's, on Thursday night
proceeded to a house in Parker-street, Drury-lane, in
Iconsequence of information communicated to them,
in search of the murderer ; but, after gaining admis.
sion with great difficulty, they searched the house in
vain. As they were leaving Parker-street, they were
attacked by four men,and in the affray Waller was
severely wounded in the leg with a sword or dirk.
These villains then succeeded in m.tking their escape.
A private soldier, of the South Down regiment,
named M'Kelvey, who had lanied from a transport
on Monday,-the 19th ult. disputed with his wife about
a 20s. note. In his passion he unfortunately gave her
a violent kick, of which she instantly died. An In-
quest was held, and the Jury returned a verdict of--
Murder. He has been committed to Downpatrick
gaol.

Bow merr.—Yesterday, C. Jordan and J. Burlier
were brought to this Office, charged_with rob-
bing a waggon on Thursday night, on 'he Essex
road.. Clements, a horse parole, stated, that he re.
ceived information that a waggon had been robbed of
a chest of tea and other property ; in consequence of
which he went in pursuit of the robbers, and came-
up with a one horse cart, in which were the prisoners,
and, perceiving something of a bulky nature in the
cart, he asked what they had got ? Bustler replied, it
was a box of apples ; but on knocking off a corner of
the box, it proved to be tea, upon which he took them
iato custody. In defence, Bustler said he was a shoe-
maker, in Dog-row, Whiteehapel.road, and bad found
the tea in a hedge, near Epping, on Thursday even-
ing, when he was by himself ; that he had never seen
Jordan till that evening, when he asked him to give
him a can with the tea to London. He was on his
return from Epping Fair, where he had been to sell
horses. Jordan confirmed this statement, although they
had been seen together. They were remanded.

Last evening Mr. Wilson, the owner of an unin-
tabited house, No. 28, Surrey-street, in the Strand,
which is under repair, and has a few articles of house-
hold furniture in the upper part, went to fasten it up;
he had proceeded no further than -the hall when he
heard a whispering. He had no light with him, but
was convinced it was not any of the workmen, and
having prOceeded to the back of his premises to give
an alarm, three or four robbers rushed out, two of
whom were taken by the neighbours, when one of
them was seen to throw away several skeleton keys.
They vwe delivered into the custody of a constable,
who bratist them to the Office, where they underwent
an examination, and proved to be old offenders,
named Harry Griffiths and John Beche. Limberick
and another Patrole went to search the premises :
they ascertained that th had broke into the adjoin-
ing house, occupied by Mrs. Howel, by forcing open
a doer which bad been nailed up, which - separated
the two houses, and that a number of drawers had
been-broke in a bed-room, on the second floor, and a
large quantity of wearing apparel stolen, and in which
room was an iron crow, which had evidently been
used in forcing open the drawers. They were • cons-
mitred for further examination.
An acknowledged sentiment by all, that every ani-
mal has its particular enemy. Man's greatest enemy
is worms, which even in infancy kill thousands, as
almost every parent can witness; what family but
some have been aMicted with convulsions, fits, pains
in the stomach, head-ach, and in children hard belly,
pale countenance, offensive broth, itching at the seat
and nose A hasty consumption often ensues—to
prevent is better than cure. Those so afflicted are
recommended to use 1)r. GARDNROgi WORM MUM-
curs, which has cured many thousands, 74, Long-
Acre • and 3, Shoreditch. The Doctor consulted as
