NoLo EPISCOPARI.—The Rev. John Graham,
Master of Christ's College, Cambridge, who has decline,
the Bishopric of Sodor and Man, is a native of the city of
Durham, and was formerly a King's Scholar of Durham
School. His parents were in comparatively humble cir-
cumstances, and Dr. Graham has risen to his present
dignified eminence solely by his own talent and unwearied
painstaking for the advancement of true religion. He
possesses a warm, affectionate heart—his whole life has
been characterised by acts of the most unobtrusive piety—
and his disposition is amiable almost to a fault. We
have no doubt his reluctance to accept a seat on the epis-
copal bench arises from a purely conscientious distrust
(though no one who knows him well will be of the same
opinion) as to his proper discharge of the solemn respon-
sibilities of that sacred office.
CHURCH PASTORAL-AID SOCIETY.—At the meeting of
the general committee, on the sth inst., three new grants
were made for additional curates; three in aid of the in-
comes of incumbents of new districts, with endowments
from £45 to £56; one towards the stipend of a chaplain
for the labourers on the Melton and Stamford Railway ;
four for lay assistants, one of whom is appointed to
labour among the men employed on the Reading and
Newbury Railway ; and two small grants towards the
fitting up of rooms to be licensed for public worship in
populous districts. The twelve grants amounted to £586.
At the same meeting twenty-two grants for curates, and
two for lay assistants were renewed, amounting to £2007.
The society now aids 316 incumbents, having under their
ministerial charge a population of 2,197,000; or each, on
an average, 6895 souls. The average amount of the in-
comes of these incumbents is only £l9B, and one hundred
and sixty of them are without a parsonage-house. The
existing grants provide stipends for 30l clergymen and
72 lay assistants, calling for an expenditure of £33,150,
when all these grants shall be in operation ; 235 clergy-
men and 65 lay assistants now engaged in teir import-
ant labours, are supported by this society, at an expense
estimated at £26,865 per annum. The a, plications before
the committee have increased to thirty• seven, twenty-
five of which are for stipends for clergymen, and twelve
for lay assistants, calling for a further sum of £2490 per
annum to provide the requisite stipends.

FASHIONS FOR NOVEMBER.
(From the "London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.")
Gauzes Constantine, Aixa faronnes, Siam crapes,
Mousseline* Luisa Fernanda barcsYes Haydeee, with
organdy:, tulles, &c., are the fashionable materials of full
dress ; for walking and nPoligcc plaids of every dimension,
checked foulards, taffetas chin is
rota stripes or waves ;
taffetas mauves shot with lilac, green ffetas shot with a
different tint of the same colour, and pe'le'rines of two
contrasting colours, are all much worn. In silk materials
the corsages ara frequently made with the corsage open
in front, having collar and revers turned back and con-
fined by brandtnbourgs and tassels, which reach to the
bottom of the skirt. Negligi dresses are without point,
and when they close behind have narrow ceintures and
buckles ; they may also have revers from the shoulder to
the waist. and ladies wishing to wear high corsages in
evening dress, have the revers covered with lace. Fur
at this season is used to ornament dresses as much as for
out-door costume. Chinchilla and sables are the most
fashionable furs this season. Mantelets and vigites of
Chinchilla are very elegant. Manteaux, mantelets, cha-
telaines, visites, pardessus, are all now in request with
the newest styles, the rouliere, the Garrick, Manteau
Grec, Infanta, and Moorish.
The bonnets most approved have the forms a little
spread, and rather deep at the ears, forming a circle
round the face and hair. Black velvet bonnets are almost
confined to the promenade. 'The more elegant ones are
of plain coloured velvets; many of emerald green are
lined with a lighter shade of green. All shades of gray
are fashionable, with ornaments in cerise colour: . Ca-
poles a coulisses of satin are trimmed with velours eptngli.
Ostrich feathers are much worn, but not long, merely the
tips. Coloured lace is also used correspondtng to the
colour of the bonnet, a fauchon of velvet, the same as
the bonnet, edged with black or white lace is pretty on
nep/igecbonnets. Capotes of satin are ornamented with
biais of velvet ; dark bonnets are often lined with pale
colours. Caps of the Pompadour style, the Genevieve,
the Marguerite. the Fauchon are fashionable. Hats of
satin, and velvet, and historical coiffures are in favour ;
pretty little coiffures, merely ornamenting the top of the
head are made of gold ribbon and black lace. The most
novel style are the pointes, or half squares, biais de
fiche'es of application lace, &c.,. intended to imitate the
coiffures of the age of Marie Steuart. They are also
used for bonnets of either satin or velvet, covering the
crown, the corners uniting by a bunch of flowers, or
nceuds of ribbon.
