FASHIONS FOR JUNE:

(From the " London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of
Fashion.")
Foulards de chine with barege are the most fashiona-
ble materials ; the prettiest are checked in shades of the
same colour, violet and lilac, dark green on light, cerise
and dahlia; they are trimmed with two wide biais put on
a little full, or two deep flounces ; but a more novel style
is one very deep flounce put on at the edge of the skirt,
which is necessarily very short and the- transparency
thereby preserved ; the flounce is en biais; the newest
trimmings are ruches chicorees, flounces frontages, and
antique biais. Redingotes of glace or cameleon silk are
sometimes ornamented with a trimming of the silk form-
ing.gueules de loup ; it is very usual to head the trimming
on the skirts with gimp of the byrinthe style matching
the colours; the corsages are high or half high, of the
Amazon style, and for every description of toilette they
are made open and more or less ornamented—some lac-
ing half way up, others with revers showing the habit
shirt ; the sleeves are generally wile, with the under one
of white ornamented with inlets of cretes of lace. The

lighter materials of summer wear, tolatanes, muslins, &c.,
are with corsages drapes or demi-vierge, and three deep
tucks often replace the flounces, and these are-in rounded
scollops festonnes a dents. Fancy straw bonnets are very
much worn; when of open straw they are lined through-
out with poult de soie matching the ribbon Leghorns are
trimmed with very wide ribbons, generally checked, and
often platted. Some white crape bonnets are lined with
pink ; they are evase at the ears, and the form a little
raised and ornamented with a bird of Paradise, nceuds of
white and pink sarcenet ribbon inside. On fancy straws,
capotes with silk crowns and straw fronts, and also Leg-
horns, wreaths of fruit and mixed flowers are much worn.
Caps now form an important article of dress; very pretty
ones are made of inlets lined with pink, or blue gauze
trimmed with lace without any ribbon. Simple caps a
la paysanne are made with crowns of tulle or blond ; they
are quite round, and trimmed with long lappets of lace
and wreaths of ribbon.. Pretty coiffures are composed
of ribbon and flowers, the lappets replaced by wide
fringed ribbon, and,the mends so as to intermix with the
hair when in ringlets, or accompany the.bandeax. Scarfs.
are worn in every variety of colour and material ; the
pardessus d'ete are also fashionable, and also the chales.

ing a point behind and square ends in front, with revers at

BIRKENHEAD IMPROVEMENT BILL.

(From our Correspondent.)
HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY.

The Birkenhead Improvement Bill passed the Lords
this afternoon. The Town Council of Liverpool strenu-
ously opposed it by Messrs. Austin, Talbot, and Palmer,
and it was supported by Mr. Forsyth for the Commis-
sioners of Birkenhead. After considerable discussion on
behalf of the Corporation of Liverpool, the Committee
(among whom were the Duke of Cleveland, the Earl of
Burlington, Lord Auckland, Earl Cathcart, and Lord
Kinnaird) declared the bill to have passed their lordships
without any alteration. Numerous clauses were offered
in opposition, but in every case they were rejected.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.—THis DAY.

The demand for Cotton to-day has been very good for
Tuesday, and fully 2500 bales have been sold at steady.
prices, with a better feeling.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, THIS DAY.

(From Messrs. R. Makin & Sons' Circular.)

The receipts into this port, Coastwise and from Ireland,
since Tuesday last, comprise a moderately fair quantity of
Oats, Malt, and Flour, with a few limited parcels of
Wheat and other produce ; while from the North and
South of Europe, including a cargo or two from Egypt,
the fresh supply of Wheat is unusually abundant, accom-
panied by several arrivals of other Foreign Grain and
Flour, as stated below.

Having a numerous attendance of local and country
buyers at this day's market, and a more active disposition
to purchase most articles of the trade than for some time
past ; all good descriptions of Wheat met a tolerably
extensive sale at an advance of ld. per 701b5., and the
lower qualities maintained the rates of this day week.
Flour also, was generally rather dearer and more readily
saleable.

The crops of spring corn and grass, upon all light
soils around us, continuing to suffer severely from
intense drought, Barley, Malt, and Beans attracted con-
siderable attention, and were in good request, at an im-
provement of 2s. per quarter ; Pease, at the same time,
being in moderate demand, at our last quotations.
Oats, being equally affected by the weather, were dis-
posed of freely at an advance of 2d. per 451 b. ; and Oat-
meal was taken to some extent at an advance of 6d. to 9d.
per 2401 b. over the terms of this day se'nnight.

THE STATE TRIALS•

Court of Queen's Bench, June 3.

Yesterday (Monday) Mr. Whiteside applied to the full
court that the traversers should be at liberty to inspect
the indorsement on the back of the indictment, and for a
list of the witnesses' names. The application was
grounded on an affidavit of Mr. Ford, that such an in-
spection was necessary in order to the preparation and
speeding of the writ of error.
The Attorney-General said he believed that there was a
concealed object in every one of these applications, and
according to the practice of the court it should have been
stated specially what the errors were that were assigned.
Let the traversers assign any just reason why they should
inspect the indorsement, and their application would not
be resisted.
After a number of remarks between the Court and the
counsel for the Crown and the traversers, the Attorney-
General suggested to the Court themselves to have the
record sent for, let them examine it, and if their lordships,
on looking at the endorsement as it appeared on the back
of the indictment, considered it necessary that the traver-
sers should inspect it, or if they thought the application
on the reasons now, for the first time, truly assigned,
reasonable and good, he would not object to its being
granted.

The Court intimated that they considered this course
:he most advisable, and desired Mr. Bourne to procure
:he record for their inspection.

The record was soon after brought into court and
handed to the bench—their Lordships perused it carefully
for some minutes, and after a short consultation
The Chief Justice said that he did not think any good
reason had been made out for establishing this as a pre-
cedent, and in this case no reason had been assigned why
the record was wanted' The application could not there-
fore be granted.

Judge Burton differed from the Chief Justice, and said
that the record being for the benefit of the prisoner as
well as the crown, the application was perfectly fair and
reasonable.

Judge Crampton said "This application is grounded
on an assertion made in the notice and affidavit, that in-
formation is required by the traverser's counsel on certain
points. Now the notice states only that they wish to in-
spect the back of the indictment, while the affidavit sets
forth that they desire a perusal of the record; this is a
very different thing—the record is a history of the whole
proceedings, from beginning to end; and it is necessary
for a party to have a fair and full inspection of this prior
to his instituting ulterior inquiries, and for alleging error;
a copy of the record, therefore, he is entitled to see.
Now, this is offered to the traversers' counsel by the
crown; but they are not content, they demand an inspec-
tion of the indictment itself, and especially of the endorse-
ments on the back of the indictment. The court would
not be warranted in granting the application."

Judge Perrin saw no substantial objection to grant the
application.

The Attorney-General—As two members of the Court
are of opinion that the application should be granted, I
shall offer no further objection.
The record was accordingly handed by Mr. Bourne to
Mr. Ford ; Mr. Whiteside, after cursorily glancing over
it, asked the Attorney-General if he would not also giVe
tbem a copy of the names, which, being answered in the
affirmative by that gentleman, the different parties left
the Court.

REPEAL ASSOCIATTON.—The usual weekly meeting
took place yesterday in the Conciliation-hall, which was
very much crowded in every part. Mr. W. S. O'Brien
and Mr. D. O'Connell entered the meeting about one
o'clock, and were received with long-continued cheering.
The chair usually occupied by Mr. O'Connell remained
va'iant during the proceedings. An address of condolence
and sympathy to Mr. O'Connell,„ on his incarceration.
was agreed to. The rent for the-week, including large
sums- received from America, was about £lBOO.

THE LIBERATOR AT MASS IN' nra PRISON CELL.'-'
Mr. O'Connell's chaplain has published an account of the
agitator's first prayers in prison, from which we extract
the following:—" I have just returned from celebrating
the divine mysteries for O'Connell in his prison cell.
You will not be surprised that my heart is overflowing
with emotion ; with emotion, hovvever,•in which there is
not blended the slightest tincture of sadness or despon-
dency. Never have I beheld the Liberator in a sublimer
attitude than this morning, as be knelt,. I may say in fet-
ters, before the altar he himself had freed. It was a
spectacle of much grander import than even that of a
' just man contending with adversity ;' and if those who
have been labouring so long, ' per fas ant nefas,T to afflict
his spirit, to embitter and disgrace his declining years,
could have beheld the joyous serenity of his- coun-
tenance in receiving the divine communion, I will
not say they would have been sorely disappointed ;
but, for the honour of human nature, I, shalt per-
suade myself that it would have repented them of their
intent in seeking to fix the brand of a felonious• con-
spirator on such a man. No, O'Connell is not sick;
he is not sad ; let no one believe it. I was beside him in
the court—l accompanied him to the prison ;it is scarce
an hour since this hand that writes was grasped in his ;
and I aver upon this knowledge that he is in rude health,
unshaken in his purpose, and undismayed as when he de-
nounced the Union on Tara or Mullaghmast, serene in
the spirit of his mind, and fall of buoyant vigonr, He is
proud of his present position, and looks back upon the
past with triumph, and never were his hopes of the future
brighter than this moment, or more akin to certainty."
