FASHIONSFOR JANUARY.

(Front the " London and Paris Ladies' Mapazine of
Fashion.
At this season of the year velvet is more in favour than
any other material ; it is worn not only as the principal
material of various kinds of both in and out door toilette,
but also constitutes the prevailing ornament on satins and
rich silks, cachemires, &c., and we are glad to see it not
now confined to dark colour; black, red, emerald and
deep blue, are reserved for dinner and carriage dresses
whilst for evening soirees pink, sky blue, and mais are
worn : some are enriched with a fringe of gold and berthe
formed of a kind of net-work of gold. For ball dresses
transparent materials are universally approved, made with
several skirts, or open at the side a l'Albanaise. Walk-
ing dresses are of pekin, camele'on en damas, and velours
guilloche, and the simpler style of douilletlee, &c. are
of levantine, reps, popelin, sin de la Reine, cachemire,
&c., &c. Very pretty ornaments are made for evening
dresses of bugles, coloured as well as black, though the
latter are preferred ; and fringes berthes, half sleeves,
coiffures brandenbourgs, cordelieres, are all made of
them. The newest style of manteau is the Caftan, and
the materials preferred for them are velours e'pinglg
edged with fur, or satin trimmed with velvet guilloche:
Sleeves are very generally introduced with manteaux.
The winter bonnets are of small horizontal form, gra-
dually descending at the sides ; the ornaments are various,
marabouts, feathers, rich laces, ribbon forming couronnes,
bunches of roses and coques of ribbon inside, nceuds of
velvet and plaits of velvet in two colours, &c. ; many are
lined with colours. Caps are also worn small, and the
coiffures for dress are very various and elegant, particu-
larly those made of gaze de soie and gold, forming turban
ornamented with a bird of Paradise ; others are of pink
gaze de soie embroidered in silver and white silk, with
lappets of gauze fringed with silver; the Bresilienne,
Agnes Sorel, Diane de Poitiers, Marie Stuart, with sou-
venirs of Greece, Italy, and Spain, are again to be seen,
with the turban yaulois with its long scarf pendant at the
back.
Furs are in full favour for dresses, manteaux,
pardes-
sus, &c., many of the latter being lined with fur; round
fur pelerines are worn en ne'glige, as also some with long
ends falling as a scarf on the front of the dress. Muffs
are very general.

EARL GREY.—The latest accounts received from
Howick-hall represent the state of Earl Grey's health as
still very precarious. No unfavourable change had taken
place since Wednesday last, and some bad symytoms had
been relieved, but the noble earl was not considered out
of danger N., hen the last report left.

Nicholas Clarke was charged with the wilful murder of
Catharine Rippendale, at Manchester, by kicking and
heating her, and also by throwing her against the stairs.
In other counts of the indictment, the name of the de-
ceased was laid as Catharine Clarke. . .

Mr. Pollock appeared for the prosecution, and, at the
request of his Lordship, Mr. James defended the pri-
soner.

Mary Ann Colville, living with her father at No. 2,.
Clegg's-court, Spinal-street, Manchester, stated that the
prisoner and deceased, who passed as his wife, came to.
her father's house. It appeared that he beat her in a jealous
drunken fit of quarrelling, and that she died of the effect.
of the treatment. _ _

The jury found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter, and
the prisoner was sentenced to transportation for lire.

John Ca!row, captain of the ship Mediterranean, sur-
rendered in discharge of bail, to answer an indictment

of his voyage. _ _

Messrs. Brandt and Whigharo appeared for the prosecu-
tion, and Messrs. James and Drinkwater for the defend-
ant.

Mr. BP.ANDT stated the case to the jury ; but as the
circumstances must be fresh in the recollection of our
readers, full evidence having been given before Mr. Rush-
ton, it is unnecessary to repeat them here.
Verdict—Guilty.

Henry Todd was indicted for having robbed Mr. Mil-
ton, sheriff's-officer, of his pocket chronometer, of the
value of £2O.

Mr. Mansfield appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.

STOPPAGE OF THE MERSEY AND IRWELL NAVIGA-

carriage between this town and Liverpool has taken

having given way, caused by the unsoundness of the
foundation : until this accident is repaired, the navigation
of the river is necessarily suspended, but this will, it 19
expected, be speedily remedied.

TAE-PEACE
AND

PING—PLENTY.
IT is with the above appropriate characte —the Eng-
lish signification of which is " Peace an lenty," that
CAPT. PIDDING'S Chinese correspo ent heads his
last communication from Fo-kein. " aven," he adds,
"approving, has rained down blessi on the Central
Nation. In the same Season, Peac is proclaimed, and
Plenty crowns the Land. Since the year 4448," (A. D.
1811,) " when the Earth was revivified by the broom-
tailed Star," (comet,) vegetation has not been so luxuri-
ant as now. The air, redolent of perfume from the fra-
grant tea-blossoms, manifests its fine quality; whilst the
plentiful picking shows how abundant is the precious leaf.
Thus has nature conspired with the gods to make man
happy."

-file new Season's crop of CAPT. PIDDING'S TEAS,
just received, realises all that lie anticipated from the
above communication. Their quality is most assuredly
the finest he has known. Their abundance—with a remis-
sion of duties in prospect—has determined him at once to
reduce the price below what they have ever before been
harged.
CAPTAIN PIDDING'S MIXED BLACK TEA. is
accordingly REDUCED from Bs. 6d. the Catty Package
to 6s. the Pound Package. His SMALL LEAF GUN-
POWDER is REDUCED from Twelve Shillings the
Catty Package to Bs. 6d. the Pound Package.
The Signature of the Sole Importer, " Captain JOHN
RHODES PIDDING," Hon. Company's Service, Fellow
Med. Bot. Society, &c., is on every Genuine Package.

IMPROVENIENT IN THE My.THOD OF
ROASTING COFFEE.
THE excellency of Coffee depends in a great measure
on the skill and attention exerciaad.in Roasting it.
If it be too little roasted it is devuittof flavour, and if too
much it has a disagreeable burnt taste. We wish to im-
press upon the minds of ourfriends that we have erected
an Improved Apparatus fdr Roasting on the Premises, by
which the strength am/flavour is retained, which otherwise
evaporates; so by this means we are enabled to sell a
better article at a lower PRICE.
We grind it, free from adulteration, immediately after
having been roasted, and put into One Pound Tin Canis-
ters, which retains the fine aroma for a considerable time.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 8.

A tolerable number of vessels having entered this
port from Ireland tince Friday, the arrivals of the week
from the source offered a good supply of Wheat, Oats,
Flour, and Oatmeal; but, except a tew parcels of Barley
and Malt, we have still very little of any article in Coast-
wise, and beyond 1800 qrs. of Egyptian Beans, with a
small quantity of Pease from Danzic, no Grain is reported
from abroad; of States and Canadian Flour, however,
the import amounts to upwards of 18,000 barrels, exclu-
sive of /442 bags from the East Indies.
Our market was will attended by town and country
millers, directing their. views chiefly to Irish new Wheats,
in which sales to a fair extent were effected, the middle
and lower qualities p7rtly recovering the reduced rates of
Friday, and prime samples realising id per 701 b. under
the terms of this day week ; whilst English new, of which
there was a tolerable quantity offering by the neighbour-
ing growers, moved off slowly at late prices ; and Foreign,
as well as all other descriptions of old, were in very
limited request at our last quotations. Home made and
Irish Flour must be noted the turn cheaper; and Cana.
dian, including duty paid States Flour, hardly maintained
former prices.
Barley and Malt, having met little notice to-day, were
rather depressed in value. Beans and Pease,upon a mo-
derate demand, were held steadily at the currency of last
week. _ _

Old Oats, of which very few parcels remain unsold,
were somewhat dearer again this morning ; but new, be-
coming more plentiful and taken sparingly, were full ld
per 451 b. lower than on Tuesday last. New Oatmeal
likewise receded further to-day, making the decline of the
week 6d per 2401 b; and old, though in some request,
barely retained its previous value.
Of States Flour, under lock, about. 7000 barrels have
changed hands during the week within the range of our
quotations, but in bonded grain nJthing interesting has
recently transpired.
