Although until after Longehamps the fashions are not 1:8
nerally introduced, still the Magazins de Mode are filled with
the endless variety of materials for every description of
toilette. Silk it is expected will be decidedly in favour, pe-
kins d' ete, and of various descriptions, with foulards of new
style, the,most elegant of which is ecru, with moss rose buds of
cerise, thefeitillaye and moss being tinted with brown bare-yes,
varying in colours and designs; and reps cachemire is spoken
of for walking dresses. In evening negliye muslin brocatelle
is worn, and tarlatane embroidered in silk and gaze Arach-
nee , with Aragonaise embroidery sometimes intermixed with
gold, form the more elegant toilette de soiree. New forms
for dresses are spoken of, and with the Grecian sleeve there
is, as ever, great variety observable in our toilettes, and dres-
ses are ornamented in a thousand different styles, floweas
and lace forming the principal ornaments : many tulle dres-
ses have detachedboquets. Walking dresses are made
high and with rounded point; the material when plain is
enriched by coques of ribbon, and epaulieres of black lace
enlarging en gerbe on the body, and descending the skirt, or
else biais of :velvet, ornament the corsage and jockeys, and
continue in three rows down the skirt; gimp trimmings,
either of the same or contrasting colours are much used,
and under the name of gimp arachnees, filigranes, qui-
pyres, are formed elegant fronts for dresses, berthes, or
sleeve ornaments, forming a kind of embroidery with ex-
cellent effect. Dresses of gray poult de sole are elegantly
trimmed all round the skirt with black guipure gimp, which
rises up the sides of the front breadth, meeting at the point
of the corsage. The coiffures are worn rather higher and
wider. Small scarfs of fichus Algerien of silk and gold are
used to form elegant coiffures, and are much in demand to
intermix with the hair ; those of dark blue and gold or pose-
ceau and gold are extremely pretty for the little coiffures
creole*. Historical coiffures are in favour for grande toilette,
with resilles and dress-hats, Louis XV. and turbans. Tassels
of white bugles and fringes of the same are used in coiffures
without crowns, as well as with rich turbans. Some of the
dress caps are very short at the ears, and blond is quite re-
stored to favour, and rivals the richest lace for full drees.
Bonnets are all making in the favourite spring colours ; green
trimmed with wag d'Espagne, lilac trimmed with Persian
lilac and vervein, blue with clematis and jacinth, paille with
heart's-ease and roses, pink with snow-drops tinted pink and
pink and hepatica. The forms are moderate and mostly
straight, advancing beyond the profile. Capotes are with
ruches or biais at their edge.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, APRIL 5.
There was only a moderate show of stock to-day, still enough
for the market. We cannot note any change in the value of either
Beef or Mutton; nearly all sold up.
