FASHIONS.

PARIS, Arai t. Lilac has not frequently been so fashiona-
ble. la addition to bombe s, fringes of lilac upon green are much
worn. The upper part of many silk bonnets is a composition of
plaits, which project in the centre. The body of the most
fashionable silk cloaks forms a fan, and k plaited ea wales de lout>.
kietned ribband is invariably put on the edge of bonnets; some
ere matte entirely of sewed ribbancls ; gauze ribbands are most in
favour. White straw hats have lilac fringe, others have celestial
blue fringe, with white feathers, dyed lilac, or blue at the points.
MUSHY) is put round cloaks, with puffs between the plaits, and
worked like the bottom of the robe. The Ladies for promenade
dress wear a shawl of muslin over spencers, tied behind in a bow,
like a cravat.

Saturday the Royal Academicians gave their An-
niversary Dinner, at the Academy, Somerset House.
The tAble was graced by a numerous assemblage of
Nobility and Gentry, who previously visited the Ex-

hibition.

COVENT GARDEN TIIRATRE.Mr. KEMPLE per.
formed tile part of Coriotinur, last night, to a crowded
and elegant audience, in his very best style. He was
in fine voice, and the effect of his exertions was, in

many parts, perfectly electric.
MAY BE, Aunt BE, and Must BE, are terms as
often and as significantly used as any in the English
1 mgnage. That any one MAY BE in the possession
*f riches by the event of a single hour, who SHOUT Be
otherwise dependent ell his lite, is a truth that must
az admitted by every one ; indeed, this MAY BE
proved to the reader by his g.tinin3 a £30,000 Prize,
or 3,0(X) Guineas in Gold, if he adventures in the
present Lottery, which muarr BE otherwise gained
by a stranger, for they NIUST BE all decided next
Saturday week, and malt BB instantly received on
de nand.

Another Golden Lottery—another £3o,ooo—more
.Gointas—and more good Fortune at Evros's ! who sold
the grand Prize of 1,000 Guineas, No. 353, in" thel
last Lottery, the whole of which he paid in Gold, as
soon as drawn ; and who is now dispensing Fortune's
Favours for the 13th of May, when the whole Lot-
tery, of only 5,000 Tickets, will begin and finish
, Cornhill, and 18, Coventry-street.
A melancholy circumstance occurred at Dover on
Saturday afternoon :—la endeavouring to heave the
Portuguese brig Fenix Triumphante, that lies sunk
in the outer harbour, over on her starboard bilge, by a
post giving way that one of the purchases was last to
the whole strain of the brig bore on a capstant
at which several neople were heaving, and who no,
being able to witfistand the weight, the capstan flew
round with great velocity, the bars of which knocked'
down every person within reach; two men, Acton and
Steward, were killed on the spot, and many dange-
rously wounded, among the latter the Mate of the brig.
AGRICULTURAL RLPORT FOR APRIL.—The cool
weather .n the latter part of the last month, has
been very beneficial to the free growing plants of
Wheat; the prolpect is generally good through the
principal Corn Districts for a fair crop. The Wheat
markets, notwithstanding the predictions to the con-
trary, have declined in value, notwithstanding the
protecting import price of 80s. per quarter which the
Legislature so wisely enacted. Flax is getting into
general and profitable growth, from a simple process
of dressing having been discovered, which renders it
as fine as cotton, and superior to it for various articles
hitherto manufactured with the finest cotton. The
late rains have made the heavy lands work kindly for
the latter sown Oats, and Barley. Early Peas have
been considerably cut by the sharp easterly winds ;
but the Beans, in row, and even in broad-cast hus-
bandry,l3ok well. The Hop grounds through Kent
and Sussex dress well, being full of healthy bine.—
The early Grass-feed continuing abundant, has kept
the Hay market from exceeding last month's prices.
Winter Tares, Clover, and Rye Grass, are generally
good. Smithfield has been well supplied with Beef,
%awn, and Veal, on somewhat lower terms. Lean
Stock, both Sheep and Beasts, is rather advanced,
from the abundance of feed. -- The Fleck-Masters
Of the South and Wiltshire Downs, complain of
a bad Lambing Season, and a larger average
loss, both of Ewes and Lambs, than is generally
experienced. Horses are risen in price, from
tle sudden dewed for the service of Government.
