FASHION AND DRESS

Many magnificent silks for ball costume have been in-
troduced this season. The most novel as to style are
manufactured expressly for dresses having double or triple
jupes. The grounds of these silks are either white or very
pale blue or pink. The edge of each of the japes are scat-
lopped, and bordered by a beautiful wreath of flowers em-
broidered in a variety of colours, and the uppermost jupe
above the border is sprigged all over with bouquets of
flowers. The corsage and sleeves are sprigged in the
same manner. A dress of this kind, which has just been
made up, has a white ground, and the pattern consists of
flowers of various hues. Another, of pink silk, has the
jupes edged with wreaths of full-blown roses, embroidered
in white silk, the upper jupe sprigged with rosebud., also
in white. For evening costume, moire antique, figured
with flowers, has taken its place among the richest and
most fashionable silks of the season. Several dresses of
th:s latter material have been made for forthcoming

soirees.
Some of the newest opera cloaks are composed of white,
and others of pink satin. They are edged round with
g-iipure lace, or with a rouleau of swansdown. All hsve
hoods. The sleeves are wide, and slashed so that they
fall lightly over the arms, without crushing the sleeves of
the dress. _ _ _

Several crape dresses have been prepared for ball cos-
tume. We have seen several composed of blue, pink,
and light green crape, trimmed with three deep flounces
of Honiton or Alengon lace. The flounces are gathered
up, either on one or on both sides, by sprays of foliage or
flowers. With these dresses flowers alone should be
worn in the hair. A dress of white crape has been made
in the following style :—The skirt is covered with flounces
of Honiton lace, set on over flounces of crape, the latter
supporting, and thereby giving better effect to the lace.
The flounces are headed by a light trimming of white
bugles. A lace berthe ornaments the corsage, and is
fastened in front of the bosom by a tie composed of white
bugles.
A dress worn a few evenings ago, by a lady of the high-
est fashion. consisted of blue tulle, and was made with
three jupes. The two undermost jupes were trimmed
with bouillonnes, reaching just to the edge of the upper
jape, scarcely more than a quarter of a yard deep. The
berthe, bouillonne, descended en (Leas to a polnt in
front, the intervening space being filled up by an echelle,
or transverse rows of small flowers, formed of pearls,
diamonds, and torquoises. The coiffure wore with this
dress was composed of blue velvet ribbon, edged with
silver, and four small blue marabout feathers.—Lady's

All our readers are curious to learn who the present.
ministers are, and the following biographical sketches are
perhaps sufficiently explicit. The valuable little hooks of
Mr. Dodd have been drawn upon largely ; but we have
carefully compared the whole with other sources of infor-
mation, and in some instances corrected important errors
that were published without notice by our contemporaries.
We have also added an account of one or two ministers
whose names have appeared within the last few days :

FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY AND PRIME MINISTER.

DERBY, 14TH EARL OF, (England), created 1485; Baron
Stanley. 1844, (United Kingdom); Baronet, 1627 (England);
Pt ivy Councillor, 1830. Edward Geoffrey Smith Stanley, son
of the thirteenth Earl, by his cousin, the second daughter of
the Rev. Geoffrey Ilornby—(she died 1817.) Born at Knowsley
Park 1799, married 1825 the sea nd daughter of the first Lord
Skelmersdale—(she was born 1805) ; anceeded his father in
1851 ; was educated at Christ Church, Oxford, where he gained
the Latin Verse prize in 1819; was Under Secretary for the
Colonies during a part of the Goderich administration ; Chief
Secretary for Ireland from 1830 till March, 1833; Secretary
of State for ihe Colonies from March, 1833, to July, 1834; and
from Sept., 1841, to Dec.. 1845; Lord Rector of Glasgow Uni-
versity in 1834 ; was M.P. for Stockbridge in 1820, and for
Preston from 1826 to 1830 ; sat for Windsor in 1830 and 1831 ;
for North Lancashire from 1832 to Sept., 1844, when he ac-
cepted the Chiltern Hundreds, and was in the next month
summoned to the [louse of Peers in his father's barony of
Stanley, of Birkerstaffe ; is a Deputy-Lieutenant of Lanca-
shire ; patron of seven livings. The firs' peer was Lord Lieu-
tenant of Ireland, and summoned a Parliament there in 1432.
The Statileys are of ancient Saxon descent. Soon after the
Conquest, Joan Stanley, the only daughter end heir of this
family, married William De Aldithley ; he assumed the name
of his wife, and was progenitor of the Earls of Derby, who,
therefore, in the male line, derive from the same stock as the
Audleys, viz., from Adam De Aldithley, a companion of Wil-
liam the Conqueror.

confiding in the liberal spirit of this greatly increasing

ciples, which will be carried out in conformity with
the trading demands of the present day—by an adhe-
rence to equity and faithfulness in their dealings, and
by energetically giving the most scrupulous attention
to the requirements of their Customers—will ensure to
them an amount of successful patronage, which it will
be their never-ceasing effort to deserve and extend.

THE LORD LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND.

At three o'clock yesterday an undress reception was
held at the Castle, Dublin, by their Excellencies the Earl
and Countess of Clarendon. It was expected that the
attendance would be numerous and fashionable, from the
esteem in which Lord Clarendon is held personally by all
parties. He was afterwards to sail for this country. A
motion was also to have been submitted to the corporation
of the City of Dublin, thanking the Earl of Clarendon for
Ws assistance in procuring the late Municipal Reform
Act, and for his unvarying attention to the individual
members of the corporation. _ _

On Saturday the:Earl and Countess of Eglinton enter-
tained a select circle at their mansion. St. James's-square.
Most of his lordship's household will be despatched for
Ireland tn-morrow • and on Monday next the earl himself
and the countess will take their departure. The inter-
regnum in the Irish metropolis will therefore be about
one week.

DEATH OF THE POET MooaE.—On Thursday at Sit-Ter-
ton Cottage, Wiltshire, the last lingering period of this
truly illustrious man's life came to a peaceful close. He
had survived all his great contemporaries who started in
the race of fame at the. opening of the present century ;

eveniez by moving new writs for Buckinghamshire, Mid-

don, Colchester, Portarlington, Kildare, -University of
Dublin. Enniskillen, Londonderry, Buckingham, Chiches-
ter, -South Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire. Dorset,
East 'Riding of York, Retford, Tyrone, 'Wenlock, and
Cork, the representatives of which have accepted office
under the new administration.—Mr. HATTER moved a
new writ for the county of Cork. in the room of Mr. M.
Power, who has a^cepted the office of Governor of St.
Lucia.—The motion was agreed to with some laughter.—
Mr. BRAMSTON moved that a writ be issued for the bo-
rough of Harwich, which was opposed by<Sir DE LACY
EvANIB, who moved by way of amendment that the writ
he suspended for six menths.—After some -debate, at the
suggestion of Sir G. GREY, the motion was withdrawn.

THE MAYNOOTH GRANT

Mr. SPOONER took occasion to say that he had not
changed his opinion upon the subject, but was fully de-
termined to move, after Easter, tor a committee to inquire
into the system of education carried on at the College of
Maynooth, which he pledged himself to show inculcated
doctrines subversive of order, injurious to morality, and
completely antagonistical to the word of God.

MISCELLANEA

The Victoria, at Kew, has survived the winter, and is
likely to grow and flower again at an early period of the
present spring. In this instance we have renewed evidence
that the plant is at least more than annual. Rumour
states that the commission appointed some time ago to
obtain evidence concerning the Crystal Palace have de-
livered their report, and after having stated that they had
considered the various schemes for a gallery of art, a
winter garden, and othe,-

at, r combined objects, they have re-
commended that the transept and part of the nave right
and left should be removed to Kew Gardens, and devoted
to the culture of Palms and other tropical plants. We
learn that it is now in contemplation to build a new Vic-
toria house at Kerr, somewhere in the vicinity of the larg
palm house, so as to be heated by the same boilers and
furnaces as those now employed for the large conservatory.
The Epacris.—For the decoration of the greenhouse
and conservatory during winter, and for furnishing a sup.
ply of cut flowers at a season when they are most esteemed,
the different varieties of Epacris are indispensable, and
should be grown to the exclusion of many plants now used
for early flowering, and known by the term "forcing
plants." The sooner many of these are sent to their
proper situation (the shrubbery-border) and their places
supplied by plants which require no stimulus to induce
them to flower in winter (and which are generally more
beautiful) the better for the credit of the cultivator and
the satisfaction of all concerned.— Gardeners' Chronicle.
Remarkable Apricot Tree.—There is now growing at
Cheerson an Apricot tree planted by the Empress Catha-
rine, with her own imperial hand, on the 12th May, 1787.
The tree is 36 feet 6 inches high, 4 feet 7 inches in girth,
and bears annually between 4 and 5 cwt. of fruit.

NEW AND RARE PLANTS

Tponitea oblongata, a very pretty convolvulns-like plant,
which will probably prove quite hardy ; the flowers are of
a purplish-rose colour, large, and bell-shaped.—Denfrey's
Journal of Botany.
Veronica Andersonii. This is a very elegant hybrid,
raised by Mr. Anderson, of Edinburgh, and is said to be
one of the best in cultivation.

Polygonum Vaccinifolium : a pretty perennial plant,
with bright rose-coloured flower 3 produced in great pro-
fusion; it is a native of the Sikkim Himalaya.

OPERATIONS FOR THE WEEK

Stove Conservatory and Greenhouse.—Attend to the
roots of large plants in the conservatory borders, espe-
cially those around which the soil appears hardened ;
loosen it with an iron probe. and give the water free ed.
mission to the roots. Re-pot calceolarias as they con.
tinue to grow ; water cincerarias freely, and occasionally
give a little liquid manure. Re-pot geraniums (Pelar-
goniums). _

Flower Garden and Shrubbery.—Sow a few annuals in
pots, where a frame can be spared ; they can be ready to
turn out, and will be almost in flower by the time the
seeds nre coming up in the open border. Biennials
should be removed from the reserved beds to their final
stations in the beds. Auriculas in pots should have a
top-dressing of loaming soil, if not already given. Finish
planting ranunculuses and anemones.
Kitchen Garden.—We should advise the planting of
the early sorts of potatoes, except in very exposed situa-
tions, as soon as possible. It is a good plan, in small
gardens, to sow the round-seeded spinach between the
rows ; this crop will be off before the potatoes require
hoeing.

LIV.ERPOOI, COTFON MARKET. FEB. 27

A slight falling off in the demand on Saturday and Monday
last caused a little weakness in the market, and
.prices were
temporarily in the buyer's favour, but not sufficiently so to
adn►t of any quotable decline. On Tuesday, and each day
subsequently, the trade operated largely, and the currency of
this day week has not only been fully regained, but a partial
admnce established upon the qualities of American and Surat
at and above middling. Brazil and Egyptian command extreme
prices. Speculators have take►► 7510 American, %10 Surat, and
50 Pernam, and there are reported for export 1440 American,
13'20 Surat, 30 Egyptian, and 150 Madras.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, FEB. 27.

New Beef is very much wanted, and an advance of is. to ss.
would be readily paid for early arrivals. Ott is firm at the late
advance, but sates this week have been light. Pork is again
dearer 2s. to 3s. poi. barrel. Bacon is in moderate demand, at
steady prices. Shoulders steady. Hams neglected. At a fur-
ther advance of Is. and 2s. tier cwt., there has been an active
demand for Lard, and the sales for this week reach 80 tons.
Cheese continues in fair request, and the stock has been much
reduced. Butter is rather more looked after.

STATISTICS OF CRIME.

ANOTHER of the valuable reports of the Rev. John
Clay, of Preston, has been issued lately, in which the evil
effects are seen of want of education, the absence of
industrial pursuits, and bad companionship. From mere
numbers one is not always able to imagine the sad reality;
and this is one reason why statistical tables are often less
forcible then individual narrative. The latter gives an
individuality and a form to mere abstractions, we see the
way in which the causes produce their effects, and the
example serves as an illustration of general principles.
There are some such narratives nresented to us from the
accounts of the criminals themselves ; and there is a pain-
ful interest excited by the fact that Liverpool is a large pro.
ducer of crime.—We notice also that the Rev. T. Carter,
chaplain of our own borough prison, has printed a report ;
and we are glad to see that his attention also is directed
to the sources of the evils which bring individuals under
his care, as well as to their moral and spiritual condition
when there. Mr. Carter mentions the fact that Go-
vernment are about to undertake a general plan for
preventing and reforming juvenile crime; a measure
to which they have unquestionably given their atten-
tion, in consequence of seeing the public importance
which it had assumed. The county House of Refuge, at
Edge-hill, already possesses facilities for reformation,
which it is recommended to extend at once to girls only :
and a strong opinion is expressed, respecting not only the
impolicy but the impropriety of exposing articles at shop
doors. It is like exposing food before the hungry; and
increases, to an irresistible point, the temptation which
might easily have been overcome.

LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.

OBTAINING AN AFFIDAVIT UNDER FALSE PRETENCES.
—On Friday, Thomas Bannon was committed for trial,
for presenting a false declaration to Mr. Hayes, pawn-
broker, Kent-street, Park-lane. with the intention of de-
frauding Mr. James Wilson. From the evidence adduced,
it appeared that Wilson asked the prisoner to pawn a gold
guard-chain for him, which he did, and returned the
money and the pawn-ticket. Some time afterwards,
however, the prisoner called at Mr, Hayes's, and stated
to Mr, Cookson, his shopman, that he (prisoner) had lost
the ticket of the article, and requested that he should be
furnished with a declaration form, to make an affidavit of
the loss. This was granted, Mr. Cookson recollecting
that he was the party who had pledged the chain. In a
few days the. declaration or affidavit was legally filled up,
and the prisoner obtained a stop-ticket. On Thursday
morning, however, a friend' of Mr. Wilson presented the
original ticket, in order to redeem the guard, but was in-
formed of the steps taken by the prisoner, and the con.
sequence was that he was given into custody by Mr.
Wilson.

BREACH OF COSTRACT.—On Thursday, John Hadwen,
boatswain of the ship Parker, belonging to Messrs. Sand-
bach. Tinne, and Co., was ordered• to gaol for seven days,
for refusing to proceed to sea after signing articles.
STUFFING MEAT.—On Wednesday, David Lloyd, a
butcher, having a stall in Gill-street Market, was sum-
moned for having stuffed, with fat, five legs of mutton,
so as to give them a deceptive appearance.. He was fined
ss. and costs, and the meat was forfeited. The informa-
tion was laid by Inspectors Read and Lloyd.
ROBBERY- BY A DOMESTIC SERVANT.—OG Tuesday,
servant girl, named Rose Coughlin, residing with Mrs.
Ann Coati, Stanhope-street, was charged with stealing
sixteen sovereigns and a quantity of wearing apparel.
The prisoner had absconded from her service ; and the
money and property in question, which were found upon
her when arrested in Sherwood-street, belonged to
lodgers in the house. She was sent for trial.

CHARGE OF UTTERING A FORGED BILL.—On Tuesday,
a nigger, named George Hesketh, was charged by Captain
Delano, of the Albert Gallatin, with uttering a forged
bill. On Monday last, the prisoner, with six other men,
agreed with his mate to take the ship into the river for
£L On the completion of their work, the prisoner, and
a man named John Williams, not in custody, presented
their bill, and the mate took it to the captain to obtain
his signature. The amount on the bill when the captain
signed it was £1 Os. Od. The prisoner and his companion
then took the bill and presented it at the office of the
agents. Messrs. Bowman, Grenell, and Co. for payment,
with an insertion of the figure 1 before the first cypher,
making the bill then stand for £1 10s. Od. The prisoner,
who denied that he had made any alteration, was re-
manded for a week.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

FRIDAY.—The Speaker took the chair at four o'clock,
but long before that period had arrived the rush of mem-
bers to their places was rapid and continuous, until the
house was crowded in every part, though the seats on the
opposition benches were the most closely packed. The
aspect the house presented was curious to every one
Whose duty it has, been to attend the chamber during the

era of Vac Whig administration. • The members who had,
previously to the accession of the new ministry, occu-
pied the ministerial benches, had transferred themselves
to the opposition benches, and the recent occupants of
the opposition benches had similarly transferred them-
selves as, nearly as possible to the corresponding places on
the ministerial benches. Mr. F. Mackenzie, Mr. G. B.
Hamilton, and Mr. Stafford, who hold office,-were seated
on the Treasury bench, none of the members of the new
cabinet being present. The Master of the oils retained
his Place on the bench upon the ministerial side below
the gangway, where Sir J. Walsh and Mr. John Stuart

were also seated. Lord Palmerston took his usual place
at first on the same bench, but afterwards crossed over to
the corresponding bench on the opposition side, beside

held. •On the first opposition bench Sir C.- Grey, Sir C.
