STANDATM, TUESDAY, JULY 12, 1553.

committee were starting a new idea. But the fact was,
the baths were there. If the Dock-chairman wanted the
site of the baths for dock purposes, perhaps he would tell
the Council what he proposed doing with the landing-
stage, and with the thousands who crossed the river every
day. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. BANNER recommended Gill-street market as a good
site for new salt-water baths.

After some further discussion, the proceedings of the
committee were confirmed, with the exception ni the
report respecting the re-erection of the Pier-head Baths,
and it was agreed that the report be printed and circulated
amongst the members of the Council, and that the sub-
ject be postponed until the next meeting of the Council.
The Coroner's account, amounting to £37. 6s. Od., was
passed.
Mr. HENDERSON then brought forward the motion of
which he had given notice—" That it be an instruction to
the Finance Committee, so soon as they can obtain pos-
session of the land, to make a road through the Newshana-
house estate, from the London-road to the West Derby-
road, and that they take measures to get the land disposed
of on leases for building purposes as early as possible."
Atter some discussion, Mr. Henderson withdrew his
motion, and the business on the paper having been dis-
posed of, the Council separated about half-past three
o'clock.

THE STEAM-SHIP TRIDENT, which was scuttled in the
Thames, to save her from burning, was, on Saturday,
raised, and got into dock.
THE MARRIAGE of M. Von Hall, Dutch Minister for
Foreign Affairs; and Madlle. Schiff, melpenninck, daughter
of the ci-decant minister at this court, was solemnised at
the 'Mane on Tuesday.

THE LATE ACCIDENT TO CAPTAIN PATEY.—We are
happy to state that Captain Patey, of Her Majesty's ship
Amphion, who was so fearfully injured by the carrying
away-of the heavy block aloft this day se'nnight, is going
on favourably at the Royal Hospital, Hasler. He has
undergone the operation of trepanning.
THUNDER STORM.—On Thursday night, a thunder-
storm of a terrific character broke over Gravesend. It
commenced at nine o'clock, and continued until three
o'clock the following morning. The whole atmosphere,
momentarily illuminated with flashes of sheet lightning,
presented an awful and at the same time a grand spec-
tacle. The thunder claps, in rapid succession, were very
loud, and the inhabitants were in the utmost alarm, many
of whom sat up the whole night.
THE PORT or BRISTOL.—From a comparative state-
ment of the numbers and tonnage of vessels with cargoes
entered inwards and cleared outwards from the port of
Bristol fur the six months ending the 30th of June last, it
appears that, as regards the inward trade, the past half-
year exhibits an increase of no less than 110 ships, and
22,114 tons, in comparison with the corresponding half-
year in 1852; and on the outward trade an increase of 22
ships and 8,312 tons, being equal to 56 per cent. in the
former case, and 32 per cent. in the latter.
THE CAMP AT CHOBFIAM.—A brilliant field-day on
Saturday was abruptly terminated by a serious accident to
Colonel Bentinck, commander of the Brigade of Guards.
His horse going at a rather sharp pace stumbled into one
of the narrow holes with which the Common abounds,
and the rider pulling him up sharply, he reared, and fell
back upon him. Colonel Bentinck was at first uncon-
scious, and, besidos internal injuries, had several of his
ribs broken. He was removed at once on a stretcher to
Higham-lode, Lord Seaton's residence, in the neigh-
bourhood. In consequence of this melancholy occur-
rence the troops were ordered back to the camp before the
evolutions through which they were to have gone had
been completed.
THE MISSES SHARPLEY.—These obstinate females
seem still determined to end their lives by starvation,
despite the fact that money is at their disposal, because
they will not submit to receive anything in the shape of
charity. On Friday, at the meeting of the Marylebone
Board of Guardians, Mr. Messer, the relieving officer,
reported that he had been to the Misses Sharpley's lodg-
ings in Stingo-lane, and that after much difficulty he suc-
ceeded in seeing them through the slightly-opened door
of their apartment. He offered them a sovereign, telling
them that it was a portion of £l6, which the board of
guardians held, and which was subscribed for them when
they were it the workhouse, after attempting to destroy
themselves by starvation. They both indignantly rejected
the produce of charity, and declared they would receive
nothing Int in the shape of panel:hi'. relief. Ia reply to
the urgent request of the officer that they would take the
money, they slammed the doo".-_ in his face. Mr. Messer
stated that he understood they had received some money
from Windsor ; but be carressed his intention to keep
'them under close inspection, and if he found reason for
believing they contemplated starving themselves, he
should have them at once removed, by force, if necessary.
to the workhouse.

CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCILTY.—TIIB friends and
members of this society dined together on Friday, to the

they would secure to the people the perfect enjoyment of
those privileges which were the boast of the country.

a
triarchal pauper named Joseph Diment, was re-married to
his wife Nancy, the former bordering upon ninety years
of age, and the latter not far under four score years and
ten. We gather that the famed "Joe" immigrated into
this locality about forty years ago, leaving behind him,
(we believe, at Honiton,) the first wife of his bosom, for
causes known, perhaps, to him, but unknown to fame, he
had separated, and about twenty-six years ago, being then
above sixty, he beguiled Nancy Morris, his second wife,
then about fifty, to whom he was united, either as bachelor
or widower, at Donyatt, about four miles hence, and they
have ever since lived as man and wife, supported by means
of parochial assistance, not entirely from this parish,
Honiton having shared the honour of maintenance up to
the period when parishes generally threw off their non-
resident poor to the tender mercies of the common fund of
the Union in which they respectively dwelt. Honiton has
also had the care of our hero's first love, who bore her I
divorcement from the faithless " Joe" up to within a
period of five years, dying in the Union—not of her hus-
band, but of the latter parish. All these facts having
reached the ears of one of their spiritual advisers, he sug-
gested the necessity of a re-union, as the least thing that
could be done in the way of amendment for such iniquities,
and the banns having been duly published, the second
wedding came off as above. Betty Short, the bride's
sister, better known in her small circle by the euphonious
name of " Brimstone Bet," doing the duties of brides.
maid. Whether Nancy had broken or worn out her first
ring we have not heard, but no little difficulty occurred for
the lack of one; eventually, however, a sympathising
damsel, (not a long way from Hymen's Altar,) supplied
the article, which, strange to say, was used as a mourning
ring one hundred and fifteen years ago, and descended to
her as a sort of heir-loom. After the wedding, Mr. Cog -
gen, a resident artist, immortalised the happy couple by
the daguerreotypic process, and gave them a dinner. They
spend the honeymoon "at home," and will be happy to
receive visits from the lovers of the marvellous, from whom
they have already received sundry shillings wherewith to
sweeten their tea during that interesting period. —Exeter
Gazette.

THE RAILWAY Krxe;,—ln the Court of Chancery, on
Friday, Lord Justice Turner delivered the judgment of the
Lords Justices of Appeal in reference to an appeal from a
decree of the Mager of the Rolls in the case of the York
and North Midland Railway Company, against Mr. Hud.
son for on account. The question was, what sort of an
account ought to be directed to be taken. Their lordships
thought that the decree of the Master of the gulls, that,
an account be taken of the North British and other
shares mentioned in the pleadings, and the time when
such moneys were received ; that there be an inquiry to
ascertain how the account entitled the ' North British Ac-
count,' (which is the account with the bank between Mr.
Hudson and the Yorkshire Union Banking Company,)
would have stood on the sth of March, 1849, if the
money so actually received by Mr. Hudson in respect of
the North British and other shares had been paid into the
bank when Mr. Hudson received the same. And, in
taking the said account, and making the said inquiries, all
sums actually paid by Mr. Hudson, to or on account of
the company, in respect of the proceeds of the shares and
scrip certificates, are to be credited to Mr. Hudson in
account with the company, and to be retained from the
balance found to be due to the company ; and that Mr.
Hudson be credited for the sums so paid, as though the
same were then actually paid into the said account," should
be altered, and a decree made to the effect that " Mr.
Hudson was a trustee for the York and North Midland
Railway Company for all sums cf money received by him
in respect of the North British shares and scrip certifi-
cates in the pleadings mentioned, and, as such trustee,
accountable to the plaintiffs for the said moneys ; that an
account be taken of all sums of money received by Mr.
Hudson foror in respect of the shares and scrip certificates,
or any of them ; that an inquiry be made when such
moneys were received; end that an account be also taken
made o
time to
of all sums of money paid by him to, for, or on account
of the York and North Midland Railway Company, in
respect of the sums received, and all sums of money pro-
perly paid by, or allowed to Mr, Hudson for

tuted for the first and second paragraphs of the decree."
The cost of the appeal on both sides would, Lord Justice
Knight Bruce stated, be costs on the catue, and the deposit
would be returned."

POSTPONEMENT OF THE VISIT OF TIIE QUEEN TO

tacked by the measles, the Queen's visit to Dublin is
postponed for the present. The two yachts and the
Blenheim, which had sailed on Tuesday from Portsmouth,
have been ordered hack, and the preparations for the re-
ception of her Majesty in Dublin have been stopped.
THE following bulletin of the health of Prince Albert

measles. The eruption has come fully out, and the
disease is proceeding favourably. James Clark, M.D."

George of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. She was much pleased
with her residence at Shanklin, in the Isle of Wight, last
year, and a very fine mansion has been taken for her at
Ryde. It is rumoured that the eldest daughter of the
Czar is on the eve of visiting this country with her family.

DISSENSIONS IN THE CABINET.—A Sunday paper
says that on Saturday the report which has been some
time past in circulation that the members of the govern-
ment are hopelessly divided on the Russia and Turkey
question received confirmation by communications which
were made at the various clubs, and by the remarkable
anxiety which Lord Palmerston displayed on the previous
evening not to allow the question to be discussed in the
House of Commons, as it threatened to be on Mr. Layard's
motion, which affirmed that the house had learned with
deep concern that the Emperor of Russia had announced
a policy and adopted measures which affected the integrity
of the o,tornan empire. It appears that if this motion
had been allowed to come before the house, the ministry
would have been in a singular state of perplexity, inasmuch
as no opinion could have been offered upon it as being the
resignation

FASHIONS FOR JULY.
FROM " LE FOLLET.")
The adaptation of the fashion of past times to the cos-
tume of the present day, contributes to produce most
charming models. Thus, the dress worn in the eighth
century by Marguerite of Provence ; the flat body en-
circling the hips, to which is added the sleeves of the
time of Raphael, the coiffures of Elizabeth of England
and Diana of Poictiers, and all the fancies of the times of
Pompadour and Watteau, form the becoming costume so
much in demand at the present season. The lingerie
creates quite a sensation ; but the immense variety, both
in form and embroidery, renders it quite impossible to
give anything like a lengthened detail. The peignoirs
worn for morning in the country have a plastron formed
of insertions of embroidery and narrow tucks, and are
composed of nansook, trimmed with deep pointed em-
broidery and insertion of Valenciennes. Some ladies
have their peignoirs of toile de Peru, or taffetas flambe,
lined with gros de Naples. Casaques are still in favour ;
they are of taffetas, trimmed with fringe, and worn over
a s iirt of English emhroidered muslin.
Evening dresses, for undress parties, are composed of
white muslin, with three skirts trimmed with Mechlin
lace ; of tarlatane trimmed with fringe ; or taffetas
skirts may be worn with muslin bodies.
Walking or riding dresses are high to the throat when
made of taffetas. Printed muslin, lareges, and taffetas
d'llalie skirts are worn with canezous of muslin, em-
broidered in small dots ; a taffetas shawl, edged round
with stamped velvet and Chantilly lace, clear muslin
scarf, or barge scarf with fringe, or an e'charpe-mantelet
of taffetas, with a ruche a la vieille upon a ground of
black tulle. Leghorn bonnet trimmed with plaid ribbon,
embroidered with fruit and flowers, or fancy straw trimmed
with ribbon and straw flowers.
The glace's silks have given place to the taffetas gorge
de pigeon, which is always beautiful for demi-toilette.
Nothing can be prettier than a robe formed of one of
these patterned taffetas, trimmed with four flounces, on
the edges of which is sewn an amaranth or green velvet ;
the body is flat, open en cceur allongi; chemisette a la
chevaliere of muslin, in small tucks between insertions of
embroidery. Open-worked straw bonnet, trimmed with
small bunches of bows ; mancinis of violets and daisies.
English green is still in fashion. A taffetas robe of this
shade is distinguie. The number of flounces is left to the
taste of the wearer : five or seven are mostly worn ;
and usually in patterns of coloured wreaths, or bunches o f
flowers in scollops.
_China crape. shawl ; bonnet of rica
straw, and bouillonnes of erape with Brussels lace fall; a
cactus at one side completes this elegant toilette.
Velvet being more than ever in vogue as trimming, we
find it applied to mantilles, which increases their beauty
and value. The stamped velvets are brought to great
perfection, and harmonise well with all descriptions of
embroideries ; flowers and foliage, en relief, are fastened
on the groundwork with chain-stitch, and are beautiful
ornaments both for robes and manteaux.
Summer mantelets are small; many are made of em-
broidered muslin. Tarlatane scarfs are worn over coloured
crepe lisse, with a wreath embroidered round the edges,
and the ends trimmed with a deep fringe. These scarfs
are very handsome, and beautifully light.
Bareges will always be worn, as nothing can be found
more useful for summer wear; but, in order to preserve
the material from becoming too common, it is made in
the most expensive patterns and colours. The flounces
are in most beautiful designs, or the skirts ornamented
with bands of the same description.
A taffetas robe, in large lilac and white squares, with
three deeply scolloped flounces, trimmed with a triple row
of very narrow ribbon, gathered in the middle, forming
three ruches of different shades of lilac. At the head of
these flounces, which are cut on the bias, is a voluminous
ruche of shaded ribbons. The body is plain and low, with
short sleeves, accompanied by an embroidered muslin cane-
zou with basques,trim rued with lace, and ornamented in front
and on the sleeves by bows of lilac ribbon. A white taffetas
shawl, with deep fringe ,embroidered with a wreath of yellow
and green corn, and bunches of May. White straw bon-
net. with a blonde crown, trimmed with white and coloured
lilac : flowers to match on one side of the face, and rib-
bons on the other. The blonde which forms the crown
and curtain is raised in the middle by a bow with long
floating ends. The mantillas are very small, not descending

small ends in front, and sloped low round the neck, so as
with deep lace or fringe, which, descending from the
lace, a second row is placed round the top, and, covering
tke taffetas, }rips the bottom garniture. The form is
simple and elegant.

111cnitillcs of tulle are trimmed with rows of lace, sepa-
rated by very narrow ruches of ribbon. A light and fan-
ciful as well as pretty manlille is made of tarlatane,
trimmed with deep guipure, with a ruche of gaze-guipure
ribbon fixed at the waist by a bow of gauze ribbon with
long ends. This, worn over a pink or blue taffetas robe,
has a most becoming appearance.
Mantilles to match the robes are much worn in the
country by quite young ladies; they are trimmed with
flounces to match the skirt.
In accordance with the season, the lightest tissues are
being employed for robes; and novelties both in style
and form are sought after, and constantly invented. The
robe ala Cle-opa"tre is one of these novelties. It has a
double skirt formed of tulle or tarlatane ; the body is a
drape a l'autique, consequently low, with very small
sleeves cc, •,J,ed of two eroise'es draperies fixed by an
agree c; dowers and diamonds. A small wreath sur-
rounds the top. The under skirt, forming a train, is
gathered all round. The waist is very foil ; the upper
skirt is still fuller, and forms a spiral over the lower ore.
A progressive wreath is placed round the edge of the to
skirt, terminating at the waist with a bouquet.
ich rendered more expensilks are also employed for full-dress robes, and
are ve by the prodigalilYof diamonds
with which they are ornamented. The little chaperons a
l'Eliyabeth are also much worn, and are equally orna-
mented with precious stones.
Fancy straw is much used both for bonnets and trim-
mings. Rosettes of narrow pattern straw are mixed with
ribbons both for outskie and inside ornaments of three
ight and graceful bonnets.
l'apotes are often composed of a mixture of straw and
taffetas or tulle. Taffetas bonnets' are also worked
with an embroidery of straw in wreaths or detached
flowers. The curtains are half blonde and half taffetas,.
embroidered with srraw. The flowers are white, mixed'
with buds of satin straw, which have a very pretty effect.
Some capotes are made with a taffetas crown and straw
front, in bands of open and fiat pointed straw. A double
row of blonde trims the inside. The curtain is of taffetas,
blonde, and straw. A white feather tipped with straw
ornaments is placed on the right side of the bonnet ; on
the left is a bow of ribbon. The inside trimming is a
mixture violet, crape, corn, and straw flowers.
Young ladies' bonnets are mostly composed of white
taffetas; the crowns are plaited en coquille, with a ruche
of pinked taffetas across the head and the edge of the
front, which is made of a stripe of taffetas and one of
plaited crepe lisse; bunches of long ends of narrow white
ribbon at each ear, and small flowers inside.
Black lace bonnets continue to be worn, and are much
trimmed with flowers and light-coloured fancy ribbons ;
the crowns are iocse, and floating in the.fanchon style.
