a
Jonquille and white crape will be fashionable. (.' potes of
taffetas, ribbon, and entre deux of blonde, the brims edged
with a ruche, and trimmed with roses, are the prettiest io
half-dress; those of silk are trimmed with black lace for
r
walking, and white lace for half-dress. Italian and rice straw,
or chip, as it is often called, are very fashionable.
PALETOTS, 1111NTELETS, SCARFS, and CAMAILS are in
great request. The manteau Marie Antoinette is admirable
for a tall and graceful figure. The pardessus Odette, a new
version of the camail, and the new muslin paletots are much
admired; as is also the mantelet echarpe, which combines
the excellencies of both the scarf and mantelet. Those for
full-dress are cut low in the neck, and composed of lace or
India muslin.

ROBES.—There is a g
Some are laced up in front; some are thrown open lap-
pels, either in a single piece, or in a collar, with a lappet on
each side ; while some are tight to the shape in front, and
cut down a little in the centre ; the backs high and full,
Laced corsages, too, are in favour. Tight sleeves, I
in the ascendant, have not excluded the demi-large 0,.
The manche Louis XIII and XIV are much worn. Flounces,
particularly of lace, are very fashionable. The newest ma-
terials for half dress are the Bros de chine, Sicilian and Milan
taffetas; grenadine, plain aed figured bareges, and the Pekin
caineleon, a changeable silk of three colours. Fur full dress,
taffetas persan, and the royal mandarin.
CAls.—Caps keep in favour, but are much shorter at the
ears. Colours have, notk much altered. For plainof silks,
bonnets, or ribbons, pin, white, and a new shade gray

nally appeared in tlic Times of the 28th ult., which ieh
0ri,,i..,
that the Thetis, constructed by three of the memberspretends
School of Naval Architecture, is a plagiarism f of the
Pique, constructed by Sir Wm. Symonds. The assertion the
unfounded in fact ; for the two ships are so manifeertiNondiis
similar, that the article in question could only hasetly ---
Wed either in complete ignorance, or, what we fainvb origi_
not the case, in wilful misrepresentation : for, in the is
place, the Thetis has not a dimension in common witei first
other ship of her class, nor are the proportions of he'r--‘1";Y
mensions at all similar to those adopted by Sir W. Symonds,- -,-
the Thetis being five feet longer and two feet four inches
narrower than the Pique. In the second place, the forms--es
of their midship section are essentially different, not in,)„particular only, but throughout. Thus the midship section
of the Thet surfear flat and perpendicular above and belowi-n
the water'sace, to the extent to which the body of t
vessel will alternately immerse and emerge at an angle—°
seven degrees, (the supposed inclination under a top ()if!
breeze,) and from that limit, below water down to the keel,
considerable curvature is introduced, the line being one ~,,,i'‘,
a curv,,ture of contrary flexure, so that it terminates at the
keel after forming a hollow or crooked floor. The surveyor',
form of midship section is quite the reverse of this. Its 3
characteristic feature is a rotundity, or, to use his own wordq
" a protrusion," at a distance of " from six inches to three'
of floatation," whence it continues in al_
feet above the line
most a straight line down to the keel. Where, therefore
the surveyors ships are prominently curved, the Thetis is,
straight, or neirly so; and, where they are nearly straight
the Thetis has her greatest curvature. Again, the wain'
breadth of the surveyor's ships is at the protrusion, whicl
as has been before said, is from six inches to three feet above''
the line of floataoon, whereas the main br.eadth of the Thetis
is at the water's surface. Thep rofessed principles of the
surveyor and of the members of the School of Naval Archi
Lecture have been published by both parties in terms too-
plain to be misunderstood, and the forms dependant

QuESTIO'SABLIt AFFECTION.—The Gazette des Tiibt
naux publishes, on the authority of a German journal which.g-
it does not name, a most extraordinary and incredible
count of a suit for divorce before the tribunal of Bode, ain
Hungary• according to this account the Count de Barlsa
a captain in the Keyser Hussars, a perfect Hungarian dandy,)'
who prided himself on being the best pistol shot in the world,
had fallen in love with and married the daughter of the Count
de Bradomissa, on account of her perfection in the same '
For some time after the marriage the countand 1 • lad in"
hisy lived
in perfect harmony, astonishing thei f '
r riends from time to
time with their dexterous feats, b
but at length the gentleman
made a display of his talent
which led to his app
camases b '
ance L.
fore the tribunal. A large party havin assembled at dinner
at his house, lie told them that lie wogld
utreat them with a
performance which would astonish and delight them ; for, in
imitation of the Poles of olden times,
struck off the heel of their wives' shoes who.t with a pistol-bal.l,
to prevent tltioei d
ding abroad, be intended, at a distance of rdogatl -
same with his countess. The lady, althoughpaces, to
the
much as her guests at the announce'rnent, ro,e calmly from
her seat, and, taking a pistol, told her husband that she was
ready to make her heel a target to demonstrate his skill, but
that she also had a feat to perform, which was, at the same
moment that he should discharge his pistol, to strike from
his pelisse the golden clasp which held it on his breast.
The count was pale and agitated, but he had gone too
far to recede, and calming himself as well as tie could, he
discharged his pistol at the same time that he exposed
himself to the hall from that of his wife. Both
shots were
successful—the heel of the shoe and tbe clasp of the pelisse
injury to count or countess;
disappeared without the least
but the gentleman, indignant that his wife should ha‘etaKen
aim at a vital part, where the slightest deviation of her aim
would have caused death, laid his complaint and dcnianded
a divorce. When before the tribunal, the count was told by
the president that i 't. his own life bad been placed in danger,
he had also risked indicting upon his countess a severe and
danerous wound,
to which hereplied that he was too cer-
tain-of his aim for such an ccide to occur. 1 i
fde countess
said the same thing, and, takings pistol, offered to renew
the trial before the court, observing at the same time that
the danger was ncw all on tier own side, as the heels of the
shoes which she wore were much lower than those which
she had on when she and her husband exchanged shots. A.
pistol was given to the count, but he refused to tire, dread-
ing, he said, lest he should wound his wife, W how
loved. " ..kini you," said the president to the countess
" why would you renew the triid, of your skill upon the
clasp of your husband's pelisse: ' " Because," reoti,,
the countss, I love him tenderly, and could never submit.'
