FASHIONS FOR FEBRUARY

Materials of light colours are confined to indoor dresses;
pekimfes, with alternate satin and silk stripes, or stripes
espoutinies, broche'es, Brc., 'mulls de sole, plain velvets,
ottomans or epingl6s, are fashionable for high dresses ;
redingotes, cavalieres, Vitchouras, for carriage, visiting,
or promenade dresses; gimp, lace, and fur, form at this
moment the usual trimmings, excepting for full dress ;
all corsages are worn quite high, even covering the throat
with trimmings, or ribbon buttoning close up, and long
tight sleeves to the wrist.

In every dress, silk' materials are principally trimmed
with boviilons of gauze of the same colour, intermixed
with nueuds or bouquets of velvet flowers ; lace is fittro-
duced in every variety of form. White is very fashionable
in moire, antique dramas, velours e'pingle, for full dress.
Pink and blue are also worn, the latter shade very pale
and silvery.
The mantelets and crispins of wadded velvet are gener-
ally made small but of a pretty form, trimmed with lace
and gimp ' • the latter is made very light and elegant, and

made of satin mu/Levi, having two rows of narrow lace

The Journal des Debate of Tuesday announces the re-
signation of the Isturitz ministry, on the 21st ult., in the
following terms :—" We have received news from Madrid
to the 21st inclusively. In the morning M. Cnstro y
Orozco had been named President of the Chamber of De-
puties oy 111 yotes to 93, given to M. Bravo Murillo.
The Ministry gave in its resignation, and the Queen im-
mediately charged the Duke de Sotomayor to form a
ministry."

Accoiding to the Clamor Publico, Madrid paper, of the
22nd ult., M. Casa Irujo, after having accepted the mis-
sion of the Queen to compose a new Cabinet, offered the
portfolio of Finance to M. Mon ; that of Justice to M.
; but that the former had refused. It is said that
the Cabinet would be thus composed :—Foreign Affairs,
M. de Casa Irujo ; Interior, M. Arteta ; Justice, M.
Bravo Murillo ; Marine, M. Sotelo ; the Finance will be
held ad' interim by M. Sierra y Moza, in the hope that
M. Mon will accept it. M. SEIZAS LOZANO has been
elected vice-president of the Chamber of Deputies. The
journals contain nothing more of interest
