FASHIONS FOR JUNE.

(From the London and Paris "Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.")
Moire and shot taffetas, poults de soie of plain colours,
lilac ecru, and checks are fashionable walking dresses ;
and flounces or ruches, pinked in crete de coq, are used for
silk materials ; others are in deep vandykes edged with
gimp, and for barges with a feston ; wide tucks are also
worn on bareges, relieved by a heading of gimp. For the
pardessus fancy alone determines the colour,—it can
scarcely be said which prevails ; for the morning. green,
orange, and violet glace, with black ; for the evening,
white, pink, and mauve. Black lace in profusion, or richgimps, ornament morning dresses, and point lace, with
silk embroidery, for the evening.
Sleeves, with few exceptions, remain unohangell ; for
silks, in thinner materials, they are wide and put into a
wristband, closing half-way up the arm, with under one
of muslin ; the corsage full also to a band, with ceinture
of ribbon and long ends. Printed tarlatanes are worn
over silk skirts ; the corsage high and full on the shoulders,
forming draperie. Plaids and checks are mostly confined
to morning dresses, but checks satinets are gal WWI

dress in pale colours, with single flounce and very deep
heading, giving the effect of a second skirt.
Gimp buttons have quite replaced those imitating stones►
&c. The broad catalan fringe is very pretty on silk, t°
replace the flounce ; and ribbon is very much used in
every possible way that it can be introduced: Two yell
deep flounces, or three, five, and even nine are sometime
used on robes of taffetas glace, commencing at the waist►
and great roundness to the skirt. Some plain barges have
bouillons to the knee.

The mantelet is become a necessary part of our toilet,
whether named mante, cape, or echarpe ; it undergo°
various changes both in form and trimming ; those o',
black lace are termed Luisa. The Clarissa Harlowe
cals the English mantelet of the last century ; it is a white
mantelet of embroidered or plain muslin, fine cambric, or
lawn. The French mantelet Marie Antoinette is rather
pointed behind, with end formed by the fulness from the
shoulders, made of the palest taffetas, trimmed with rich
white lace. Numerous little manteaux are made of tat;
fetes in light colours, trimmed with two rows of broad
black lace, one row at the edge, the other above, and le
third forms palerine at the throat, and ornaments the
armhole. Fancy straws, mixed with mohair, are much
worn, and ornamented either with flowers, feathers, or
lace—paille de riz, crape tulle. All the lighter materials
are now in demand, and leghorns are also worn, orris'
mented with a plume of three feathers or bunch of flowers.
Some very light straw bonnets are trimmed inside with
coloured tulle. For morning neglige checked-ribbons, 00
very dark velvet, are used.

MR. HUME AND THE QUARANTINE

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
SIRS It has been asserted by the hon. member for Montrose,
in his place in parliament, that the lazarettoes stationed at this
port have for the period of two years past remained unoccu-
pied. He did not say through what medium he arrived at so
extraordinary a conclusion. The following statement will
show how far the honourable gentleman's assertions may be

From the account of arrivals which I have in my possession,
I can vouch for t surprise of the above statement ; and it is
only a matter of that those who have the honour of
representing her Majesty's Government in the quarantine de-
partment, do not furnish themselves with such facts as shall
enable them to refute the statements with which the hon.
members for Montrose and Bolton from time to time occuPY
the attention of the house, and to dispel the erroneous impres-
sions which their assertions, uncontradicted, are calculated to
produce on the public mind.
At some future period I may have an occasion to'address you
more fully on the subject, but for the present I prefer waiting
a further developement of the honourable gentlemen's views.
I am,sir, respectfully, your obedient servant,

THE CHURCH VINDICATED FROM THE
ATTACKS OF DISSENT.

--
TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
Slll,---I doubt not that you and many of your readers have
chanced to see, copied, into the columns of your inestimable
contemporary the London Morning Herald, an article frog,
the Christian Witness, a leading organ of the dissenting party
—an article remarkable only for its reckless abuse of our vene-
rated Church and instructive only as an example of that oppo-
sition which we have to encounter, and those tactics frog,
which we must seek a defence. The purpose of transcribing
this article was to append a letter written by Mr. Seeley in
reply to its misrepresentations and statistical inaccuracies;
which letter the editor of the Christian Witness, uninfluencea,
by that love of truth and detestation of
error or falsehood
which ever elutrartori.. _

a~ 411 C ,orislian, refused to insert in a
reasonable time, or in any but a mutilated form,--thus
clearly
evincing that spirit which goads on some Dissenters in their
opposition to the English Church—an opposition so factious
and an wanton fhor

mat not even the most sacred considerations
can induce a relaxation of its unwarrantable fierceness, though
even it must be relinquished or truth sacrificed in its retention.
• On the frothy and rabid declamation contained in the article
in question, I shall make no comment. The idle rhodomon-
tade, in which our Apostolic Church is designated Babylon,
and her ministers as avaricious money-hunters, possesses
neither the graces of composition, the temperateness of reli-
gion, nor the semblance of truth ; consequently, needs not the`
seriousness of rebuke. But when we are asked of our Church,
" Whose is she ?" and when the self-confident author presumes
to reply to his own question, I may be permitted to step in
between this lawless\ ruthless outrage of truth and decency?'
and that Church which I love, honour, and revere, and to
which I esteem it next to my highest privilege to belong.
Am I asked, then, " Whose is she ?'' I answer, the Church
of the people, the Church of rich and poor, of great and little,
of all classes, all intellects, all ages, and all circumstances I
Whose is she? I point to her heaven-directed spires, uplifted
to the skies, in every village and every hamlet where lives a„.O
ear to "hear the word of God ;—I point to her faithful parish
priests, toiling at their sacred occupation, wherever a fold can
be collected or a sinner saved ;—I point to all the varied modes
and ramifications of her system, whereby she has provided,
every parish in England with an ambassador of peace an
“
carried the " joyful sound" to the uttermost parts of this ta-
voured land ;—I call attention to the avowed principle upon
which she has ever acted, that " every sheep should have a
fold, and every fold its shepherd."
And, let me ask, what is the enormous revenue of those con-
temptuously called the 'paid clergy" ?—what these "abuts
dant treasures", which have given occasion to so much " Sae
writing" and empty bombast? Just £285 a-year to each
But again—how was this revenue acquired 7 by extortion
from the people?—by appropriating its moneys? Surely nap
but by the perpetual endowments of charitable and pious be-
questers. I care not, then, (as to the argument in hand,) what

not the fault of the Church that such cause exists, nor its agency
that induced it.
But it seems she is a burden upon the country, an incubus
on religion; she not only fails to disseminate truth, but she
supports error; she is not only careless of the wants of her
children, but she resists any attempt at their improvement;
and sectarian dissent, rabid and democratical liberalism, is to
establiih purity in its place ! To thresh this gigantic monster
of iniquity, I suppose these men, " proud in their own con-
ceits," and filled with spiritual self-exaltation, will proceed to
demolish that monument of wisdom and piety, the parochial
system of our church. Like their legitimate forefathers of the
seventeenth century, they would destroy the parish'templet,
that not one reck or memorial should remain on the face al
the earth, though it was a sanctuary that preserved it; —the_
would exterminate her parish priests;—and the unholy wort
of destruction would proceed till not one stone of the citadel,
was left upon another, whilst the ruin would be complete,'
amidst the_pompously perverted cries, " Babylon is fallen,
fallen !" Can we view in prospect the state of England then
Can we sketch the horrors of her desolation ? There was only
one age when it could have been exceeded. What a spectacle
would she then present to the world I A prey to every syste
that baited for their capture, her sons would wander without !
parent and without a guide, given up to their own " heart s
lusts", and to the direction of their own vaunted wisdom,
society torn with sectarian division, and broken up by faction
and disorder ;—their minds distracted by doubts which no 00,1
could resolve, and differences which no one could decide, _.
" driven about by every strange wind of doctrine," witho4in
the protection of that safeguard which Christ established, tn..
Apostles confirmed, and the wisdom of succeeding ages CO'
nued and preserved.

The system of misrepresentation, indeed, carried out in thes,
is e
dissenting periodicals, does not by any means occasion mean:,
surprise. Whenever the Church to be attacked, the mean:
of accomplishing it are little considered, so that they u`
thought effective. When the Church is to be stabbed, it nat-
ters not where the weapon was moulded, or what gives force yi
the blow. We have had our attention drawn to another marked
instance of this, by that valued and valuable publication, the
Churchman's Penny Monthly Magazine, a publication which I
most earnestly recommend to the notice of those who have not

Christian writer clearly proved that the Church Of Ens abe-
teaches Consubstantiation, We seem to have Jesuits, sir, pa
sides those that walk in throats of crape, and other than aid
pists that act on the principles of Popery. Extremes are
to meet. The same principle on which the latter bases It:
vindication of her persecuting practices, actuates the fortlfr,,
It happens that the force of circumstances at present represses
any violent exhibition from either party. IN 'e have had a stw
Keptember
cimen of the results of such principles from both. This p ,
ciple is, that the " end sanctifies the means"; and indeea2,4
too often happens that, as the means are discreditable an
wicked, the end itself is but to gratify the instigations of tu ',.‘
lice and the promptings of envy, or to effect the destruction
that which is the grand bulwark of order and religion in BMA('
land—that where nothing can be lost, something may be gaineo
in the ruin that should follow. As a Churchman, then, INW
fear both extremes : as I would avoid Scylla, I would also kefr,
clear of Charybdis ; as I tremble lest I should split upon the
rocks of Popery, I also would evince caution lest I sh°l,
flounder amongst the shoals of Dissent. If I would dread t
griping fangs of the one I would also dread the " tender 1.04
cies " of the other. Both aim at the accomplishment of
same object—the destruction of the venerated Church of eu'or
forefathers. Popery would take to its assistance any agent,_„,
it aid any system or work, to extermii ate Protestantia.;
Dissent would disregard for the time the progress of Pope;
or hush her clamouri against it, so that she might effect t
overthrow of the Church.

These are times full of danger, and demanding. the full 4,1;
formance of our duty as Churchmen and as Christians. 14.,
enemies are up on all sides; the trumpet sounds from all quf.s
ters. Churchmen must band closer together, to protect tf.if,
Church which has fostered them under her wings in their 4i
fancy, fed them with the " sincere milk of the word" as taus
grew, and guided them with her protecting band to a vigorg,
maturity, from the insidious and envious opposition of agorst
ponents. They must not be decoyed to join one enemy,
(vain hope!) they may more easily vanquish another; butolot
join together for safety from all ; lest, while they fondly
to escape the danger that threatens from one quarter they llr
into a pit prepared for them in another, and at last find 0
an alternative of masters. Still let Christian moderatioUl
exercised, and a Christian conduct illustrated and inaintaw.
t.
in all these moral struggles and encounters. Let the earoe
ness which actuates us be the earnestness of truth, ancloo,
end we aim at not victory over an opponent, but the trilP.„t io
earof rectitude ;—let not the unworthiness of the weapons
ployed against us induce us to use any but this fine-eclkof
burnished sword ;—and let us enter the lists into which jos
own patriotism and religion have called us, or others' facto,
and intemperateness have dragged us, thus equipped and
lr
armed, never fearing finally to overcome all the arts of decji
tion, and the artillery of envy, hatred, and uncharitable
whilst we are filled with but one hope and moved with but ""
fear—the victory or the defeat of truth.
