PARISIAN FASHIONS.

After having worn under the front of the bonnet, either shells
of ribbons or a bunch of Bowen s, or half rouleauz of the shape of
a turban, the P.tri.ian fasbionables seem disposed to adopt a
puffed trimming, tightened with buckles at distances. Some
fronts of demi-capotes are edged with a double blond, four
inches wide. Gowns are still worn with a great number of nar-
row flounces. The disposition of the quilling on dresses partakes
of much variety ; every day produces something new, either
crescents, honeycombs, zig-zag vandykes, or scoUops. Bodies
with crossed bands are yet wily to be found among the first
milliners. Some ele;antes have appeared in the public gardens
with crape dresses worn over black silk, which were generally
trimmed with several rows of quilling ; short sleeves and white
gloves, or tight sleeves cut bias without lining. White or co-
loured gauze bonnets, with flowers and trimmings to match ; or
cotton tissue bonnets, with a veil and ostrich feathers, dyed pink,
blue, or poppy colour; Cashmeer shawls, raspberry or gold co-
loured. With dress a pearl necklace is almost indispensable, a
chain of steel beads, however, snay be substituted.

A melancholy catastrophe has carried desolation
into the family of the Marshal Prince d'Ecastunt..
His eldest daughter, who last year married M. Vt-
O'ER, jun. Proprietor of the Baths on the Seine, was
happily delivered of a son, eight days ago, at the
Chateau de Savigny, department of the Seine and
Oise. Her health was in a very favourable state, and
there was every reason to hope her prompt recovery.
On Sunday, the 19th instant, her young sister swal-
lowed a pin, which, after long and painful efforts,
was extracted. In the meantime, an imprudent per-
son ran with a countenance betraying great terror,
and informed Madame VICIER of the disaster, which
caused so sudden and violent a revulsion of nature,
that in two hours, notwithstanding every professional
aid, she expired. She had cot attained the age of 18.
Thursday morning, at eight o'clock, the Duke and
Duchess DE FRIAS, after discharging, in an affec-
tionate manner, their English servants, set out from
their residence in Portland-place, with the junior
branches of their family, for Dover, where they will
embark for Calais. His Excellency and family intend
passing a month at Paris.
The following singular circumstance took place on.
Saturday last, in Charles-street, Edinburgh :—An ex-
cavation had been made for the foundation of a new
house there, the back part of which came in contact
with a house of one story, partly occupied as a dwel-
ling-house, and partly as a coach-house. The work-
men had retired but a few minutes; when the gable
end of the small house detached itself from the walls,
and slid down in a solid mass into the area dug for
the new foundation to the depth of about six feet be-
low its own foundation ; but falling with a gentle in-
clination, the gable rested on the walls of the house
from which it had just been detached without in-
juring in the least degree the astonished and terrified
inmates, thus left exposed to public gaze.
A discovery has lately been introduced which bids
fair to supersede the necessity of a Dentist ; HUDSON'S
BOTANIC TOOTH POWDER is a certain remedy and pre-
ventive for all Disorders of the Mouth. It not merely cleanses
and beautifies the Teeth, but preserves them from decay to the
latest period of life. It makes them white, fasten,. such as are
loose, prevents those decayed crowing worse, removes the Tartar
and cures the Scurvy ill the Gums, leaving them firm and of a
healthy redness. It is an antidote for Gum 13iles,Swelled Face,
and that excruciating pain the Tooth-ach ; and so certain and un-
deviating are its effects, that there never was _n. instance of any per-
son who regularly used it, ever having the Too:lt•ach, or a Tooth
decay; and though so efficacious all autisepti:, it is to innocent
that the contents of a Box may be swallowed by an infant with-'
out any danger. The following Agents are appointed • Mr.
