are very little wornoven in walking ; but we expect the nankeen,
and those made of light materials, will succeed to the black san-
dal, now so prevalent. In dress, white satin and spotted French
silk, are most in favour. Jewellery consists of pearls mingled
with amethysts, or rubies, or pearls alone, of a large size. Or-
naments are, however, bit little worn, and never without they
are intrinsic. Rings are numb out of date,: except a line brilliant
guard over the wedding ring. The favourite colours are, Po-
mona green, drakes neck, a light full blue, spring green, pink,
and primrose.

A melancholy event took place on Saturday, the
15th ultimo, at a corn-mill near Alton, the property
of the Earl of SHRRWSBURY, which was occupied by
a respectable tenant (Mr. BURTON). The flood in-
eroasing very rapidly on Friday evening, rose consi-
derably higher than had been known for some years,
aaii penetrated in an extraordinary manner into a
part of the foundation of the mill, and on' half was
nearly levelled in an instant. A miller, who was
dressing one of the stones, was buried in the ruins,
with a favourite dog which accompanied him. Mr.
BURTON, with three others, were emptying some sacks
of corn into that part of the garners which is still re-
maining, and fortunately received very little injury.
NIBBLING DEPUDATiRI.--A few days ago a
widow, who keeps a public boost at North Shields,
went to a drawer where she had deposited £25, in
bank notes, when to her grief she found the whole of
them shattered by mice in such a manner, as to ren-
der them a total loss.

A MONSTEIL—Sunday evening, about nine o'clock,
as Min Cutout:a CRANK, a young lady, residing in
Greek•street, Soho, was returning home from a walk,
she received a stab with some sharp instrument from
a man wbo passed her without speaking to her. The
instrument enterediabove the knee, and laid open her
thigh as far as the hip, and the assassin immediately
ran off without speaking. A Surgeon being sent for,
dressed the .wound; and it was his opinion, that the
wound would have been mortal, but that the length
of the bones of the stays prevented the instrument
from entering the abdomen. We are happy, on in-
quiry, to learn, that she is our of danger. From the
slight view she had of the villain, she thinks him to
be a slim youth of about twenty years of age.
