Science holds the torch and guides the car, am.
_ at her side. Behind are the plough, the
spindle, and the bee-hive—the peasant and his child
forming a group to represent the domesticity of
England. Beyond is Metallurgy, the fabric of arms
and machinery, which she knows so well how to use."
There is a large doorway from this portico, opening
into the South Hall, with lonic columns, opposite which
is a marble statue of George Stephenson, Esq., C.E. : it
is executed by Mr. J. Gibson, of Rome, and is in a sit-
ting posture, resting on a pedestal. It was presented by
the GCand Junction Railway Company.
The eastern facade, about 400 feet long, fronting Lime-
street, presents a prostylar portico, about 200 feet long,
of sixteen close.set columns. From this portico access is
gained to the Great Hall by three doorways. On each
side of these ara pedestals for six statues. 'The soffit or
ceiling of this portico is also trabeated or divided in plain
sunk panels. The cymatium of this portion of the prin-
cipal cornice has sculptured lion-heads, in addition, over
each column and intercolumn. On each side, recessed,
are five square columns ; a panelled screen of stonework,
with cornice, &c., is carried up between each of these
pillars, forming pedestals for statues in stone ; it will
add much to the beauty of the building when
these are in their places, and it is to be hoped
that Liverpool artists may have a chance afforded them
of exercising their abilities upon them.
Round the exterior of the circular wall of the Concert-
hall are six engaged columns, between which are windows
to light the promenade.
The roof of the; Great Hall, being carried higher than

foreigr

the rest, forms arr attic of great beauty, which serves to
destr.)y the appearance of flatness, which would be the
result of having a continued level sky-line from one end
to the other.

During the assizes this spacious ball will be open to the
public as the approach to both the courts. At other
times it will be appropriated, at the discretion of the coun-
cil, to nubile or private meetings.
The Great Hail, which is in an unfinished state, is a
magnificent room, and, if painted and decorated with a
proper regard to circa, it will be unrivalled. It will re.
quire a very light ground to relieve the granite columns
and gilding properly disposed. In every part, especially
of the exterior, the architect seems to have deeply studied
the esthetic principles of the art in which he excelled.
The followi»z is a plan of the building :

COURT

kND FASHION

toned to the throat with silver hanging buttons. The sleeves
have broad turnedback cuffs, with under sleeves of cambric,
fastened round the wrist by a band of Eng work.
We have noticed at an evening party two young ladies in
white organdi with graduated tucks to the waist. The half
high body drawn at the waist and spreading over the chest with
a narrow lace plated flat round the top. Short sleeves showing
a second small sleeve, edged with a lace to match that on the
body. The coiffure was two branches of white coral, fastened
behind at the nape of Ha neck, and falling over the shoulder.
This coiffure is exceedingly pretty with black hair. A white
taffetas scarf with deep fringe syas thrown carelessly over the
shoulders. Swedish leather, half long gloves, black velvet
bracelets with floating ends, a Marie Therive pocket handker-
chief, with bouquets of lilies and roses splendidly embroidered,
enhanced the good taste of this elegant toilette.
Another dress was of pink taffetas (Mane, with 'wreaths of
lilies. Open body ala Louis XV.' with crossings of fluted pink
ribbon, accompanied by a berth of Alencon of a new shape.
This berth, after covering the back, and a part of the sleeves,
is sloped heart fashion to the waist; it then t uns round the
waist increasing width behind, forming a rich basquine, and
falling gracefully over the plaits of the skirt. This novelty is
called berthe ehhtelaine. The coiffure was a branch of half
opened lilies, fastened by a pin of pearls and emeralds forming
a lily.

Lord John Russell arrived at his residence in Chatham-
place on Friday evenine, from Rhyl, North Wales.
The marriage of Lord Brooke, M.P., with the Hon. Miss
Charteris, daughter of Lord Elcho, is fixed to take place
in February next.

The Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P.. has arrived in
Paris with his family, on his way to the south of France,
where it is said that he proposes to pass a part of the
winter.

We have to record the death of three noblemen, Vis-
count Bollingbroke, and Lords Stafford and Calthorpe.
The latter expired a few days since at Lyons, in his 64th
year. The deceased never married. He is now succeeded
by his brother, the Hon. Frederick Gough, born 1790,
and who married, in 1823, Lady Charlotte Sophia Somer-
set, daughter of the sixth Duke of Beaufort, by whom he
has had issue several children. The decease of Viscount
Bolingbroke took place, on Wednesday last, at the resi-
dence of his daughter, the Hon. Mrs. Shaw, near Elgin.
The dec eased, Henry St. John, fourth Viscount Bolling-
broke and fifth Viscount St. John, was horn in March,
1786, and succeeded to the titles on the death of his father,
in 1824. In 1812 he married Maria, daughter of Sir Henry
St. John Mildmay, who died in 1836. His eldest son,
Henry St. John, who succeeds him as fifth Viscount Bo-
lingbroke and sixth Viscount St. John, was born in 1820.
Lord Stafford died at Hampton-court, on Saturday, in his
81st year. George William Stafford Jerningham, the
deceased peer, succeeded his father as seventh baronet in
1809, and succeeded in establishing his right to the ancient
barony of Stafford, after the reversal, in 1824, of the at-
tainder of the unfortunate Sir 'William Howard Viscount
Stafford, beheaded in 1678. His lordship assumed, in
1826, the additional surname of Stafford. He is succeeded
by his eldest son, Henry Valentine, now Baron Stafford,
who is married to a niece of the Duke of Norfolk.

Atoilette of an opposite character is a robe of very fine mus-
lin, with a double skirt worn over an under one of straw
coloured taffetas; the musli❑ is embroidery in rich designs.
The bottom of the skirts are cut in festoons, so disposed as to
show a bouquet on each scollop. On the edge a frill of points
d' Angleterre is slightly gathered. The under skirt is embroi-
dered at the bottom.

There is a double body to this robe, the one half high and
covered with embroidery, forms a canezpu. The other is low
with a double berthe of English lace. This herthe descends in
front like the Marie Antoinette, fastened with straw-coloured
taffetas ribbon.
As a contrast to these rich dresses, a redingote of grey coutil,
destined for country promenades : plain skirt body buttoned
up the front, with liasquines ; the large loose sleeves as well as
the basquines are trimmel with three rows of narrow braid, of
rather a deeper shade than the dress.

STEAM TO THE BRAZILS

FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER.
(From "Le Pallet.")
Black tecomes indispensable in the toilettes of ladies of
fashion; not as formerly, when it was exclusively reserved for
days of mourning. A black dress does not now interfere with
the robes of varied colours, and the materials are rich and in
good taste. Indeed, the trimmings worn with black give it
equal elegance and distinction. Jet, in fringes or lace, is worn
with all materials. Upon moire and satin, deep flounces of
Chantilly or ruches of lace placed en tablier are much worn.
Taffetas flounces are cut and stamped in patterns, or covered
with narrow velvets imitating embroidery. We have seen
some beautiful robes in barege or black grenadine, with three
or seven flounces scolloped and embroidered. Some have a
narrow trimming over the flounces of jet, so delicately worked
as not to give the slightest heaviness or weight to the dress.
The bodies were half high, or open in front in the canezous
form, and trimmed with lace mixed with light ornaments in jet.
The same trimming ornaments the bottom of the half pagodes
sleeves. A redingote of taffetas, with broad grey and black
stripes, with narrow black satin stripes forming checks, is ex-
ceedingly pretty; the body plain, sleeves a la Grecque open to
the elbow, with crossings of black velvet, and three bows of the
same; a broad black velvet sash tied in front; the ends reach
the knees, where there is another bow, and then descend to the
bottom of the dress. The skirt is open over a magnificent pet-
ticoat, embroidered to match the under sleeves and chemisette.
A capeline of Swiss straw, trimmed with bunches of blackber-
ries outside, and the same inside, mixed with straw ornaments,
and coques of black velvet ribbon, with long ends floating over
the shoulders. A small black taffetas mantelet, with an open
worked galon of jet and silk, and jet fringe, more than a guar-
ter of a yard deep.

In our advertising columns will be found an announce-
ment of the completion of arrangementslfor carrying our
the steam trading company hence to Brazil, of which we
lately noticed the incorporation by Royal charter When
we look at the rapid strides of this new element of out
commercial greatness, at the almost certainty of a large
portion of our trade being carried on through the medium
of screw steamers, and notice the departure and arrival of
steamers of all kinds, full of passengers and cargo, and
with large amounts of specie, it must be a subject of con-
gratulation to find that such a company as the South
American and General Steam Navigation Company is to
be forthwith started from the river Mersey. All lukewarm-
ness on this important subject ought pew to be at an end,
for it is the interest of every mercantile man, tradesman,
artisan, hotel-keeper, or railway shareholder, to success-
fully develope steam navigation from this port ; and
though we take to ourselves some credit for our advocacy
of this qcestion, our only desire is to draw attention
towards it, and, by so doing, prevent ourselves from
being beaten in the race with other competing ports where
the location of transatlantic steamers is fully appreciated.
We can have little doubt of the success of this company
when we look to the respectability and well-known
energy of its promoters and directors, and when we '
see what is passing around us • for, though unsubsidized
by a government contract, such a 'company will hale all
the elements of legitimate trade to back it; and if we had
any doubts on this point, the following extract, dated
Southampton, 9th Oct., would at once remove them :
" The Royal Mail steam-ship Teviot, Capt. R. Revett,
sailed this afternoon at three o'clock, with the usual
monthly mails for Brazil, Ike. The Teviot takes out 106
passengers, also a large and valuable cargo of manufac-
tured goods for the Brazil ports, and specie value £115,000.
So great was the demand for freight room by the Teviot
that a considerable quantity of cargo had to be shut out,
and remains behind, from inability to store it in the
vessel." We believe we may ndd, that the next monthly
steamer is already in the same position as the Teviot ; and
that the homeward steamer, now about due, is quite full
•
of passengers and merchandise.—Lirerpool Albion.

A half mourning toilette, was composed of a robe of violet
coloured taffetas d' Italie with four flounces; the edge of each
flounce bad a ribbon, checked with velvet ; the body was open,
and had a small chafe cape fastened with the same ribbon ; the
bottom of the sleeves, which were cut square, and open to the
elbow, were trimmed to match. This opening was crossed with
bows with floating ends. The under sleeves were of very clear
muslin, with large bouquets, embroidered in satin-stitch,
drawn at the wrist into a worked wristband, finished with two
rows of lace. The chemisette matched. A scarf mantille of
white grenadine, embroidered in silk, and trimmed with a very
deep fringe. A beautiful bonnet composed of bouillonnea of
tulle, and narrow white gauze ribinn, drawn at one edge,
trimmed with a long branch of water !flies. The straw coloured
gloves were fastened by a double emerald button.
A rob of green taffetas,
in with five flounces trimmed with a
wreath ;e
lllies embroidered white silk. The flowers disposed
so as to form scollops, giving the effect of suspended wreaths
at the edge of flounces The body open:; square in front over
an echelle of narrow garnitures; a eazateeek of white taffetas
entirely covered with an embroidery of silk and jet, edged with
a Turkish fringe. A gauze ribbon and blonde bonnet, trimmed
with marabout rings forming a hanging chain. An oriental
handkerchief completes this elegant toilette.
An admired dinner dress is composed of white taffetas chine,
With pink and brown. and covered with atm., bouquets of dai-
sies. The three flounces are edged with tfire rows of narrow
ribbon, of pink, brown, and white placed in threes; three rows
of the same form a ruche round the basquines, the sleeves ate
trimmed to match, the body is open to the waist, trimmed with
threefordages.bows, showing between each a gnimpe of valen-
ciennes, and embroidered insertion ; half pagode under sleeves
to match.
A inorning walking 4ress of grey caul,' de eoie, the baquines
trimmed with blue and grey fluted ribbon. The skirt is simply trimmed with twelve graduated flounces. The front of the
body is open, shoring the small blue taffetas waistcoat, big.

CURIOUS ):'BREAK.—Amongst the arrivals at Plymouth on
Saturday week was a skiff of about 22 feet in length, 3 feet
in breadth; and about the same depth, in which an eccen-
tric and adventurous individual had started from London
a fortnight previously. and has rowed all the distance to
Plymouth,! skirting the coast and taking shelter each
night in that harbour to which be happened to be the
nearest. The boat was supplied vt ith a pair of skulls and
a small square sail, which from the manner in which it was
set, could only be serviceable when the wind was fair, or
nearly so. Rumour states it to be in consequence of a
bet, but no information could he obtained from the party
himself, who left Plymouth by land for the north of Devon,
having arranged for his skiff to be taken round by water
to Newport, from whence, no doubt, he will start on a
similar voyage of inspection on the Welsh coast..—Ship.
