head-dress is composed of a string of rock-coral, twisted
round a thick plait of hair which surmounts the forehead ;
this plait fastened by a comb a galerie made of coral
carvings on an opal ground. In speaking of bonnets, we
notice first one of white imperial velvet, the front and
crown quite plain; on one side of the front is placed a

branch of mtd- berri- es with crape leaves, which, reaching
quite to the edge joins a branch of the same fruit placed

inside ; on the other side is a bow formed of a magnificent
barbe of blond, the two ends of which curling over the
edge mingle with the cerise velvet leaves, and tulle bouil-
lonnies, which ornament the inside of the front. A pretty
t may be made of plain black veivet, trimmed with
k feathers ; these feathers placed round the

Fruits in general and particularly those in velvet, will

be much worn this winter as bonnet trimmings ; for
example, they form an important part of the following
Ityle. composed of bright orange-coloured velvet, with
les of grapes of shaded velvet with green leaves,
non which is, as it were, a fine shower of gold; on the
of the front a broad lace forms a fall ; the inside is

The materials the best adapted for the present season
are, grey mixed cloth, English plush, curled plush, or
loutre Orientale. The last is quite a new material, very
warm, although not heavy. The colour of the right side
is black and grey chine, but the other side is either blue,
red, brown, or green. We have seen a beautiful style of
mantle for negligle toilette of this material, in form
somewhat like a gentleman's paletot ; the back is cut on
the bias ; the front is straight and crossed, and fastened
by two rows of buttons. A small collar and wide sleeves
complete the garment. For dress toilette, the Polonais,
with Venetian sleeves, is much worn. The sleeve is raised
by an embroidered agrafe, terminated by Turkish tassels.

FATAL ACCIDERT.—James Hale, a painter, was stand-
ing, on Tuesday, upon a ladder reared against a house in
Sir Thomas's-buildings, when, by a passing dray, he was
thrown to the ground and killed on the spot. The driver
was taken into custody, but, as there was no evidence of
culpable negligence on his part, he was discharged with a
caution.

SuIcIDE.—On Tuesday last, Cuthbert Wright, residing
Gore:street, Tosteth-park, cut his throat ; but as he

_
did not die immediately, he was removed to the Southern
Hospital, where he died on Saturday. He has been in a
desponding way since September last, when John Gee, a
butcher, hanged himself in the same house. An inquest
will be held this day.

TILE WINTER ASSIZE for Yorkshire commenced at York
Castle, on Monday, before Mr. Baron Alderson and Mr.
Justice Crowder. There were 93 prisoners for trial, of
whom four were charged with murder.
SINGULAB HOAX.— On Saturday, an announcement
was made that the steamship G4at Britain had arrived
from Australia, and was lying in the river. During the
day hundreds of anxious inquirers called at the office of
Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co., and there was great
excitement at the various newspaper offices. It was what
the French people would call a canard, for the Great
Britain was not to leave Melbourne until the 28th of
October.

ACCIDENT ON THE LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE
RAILWAY.—On Friday forenoon, as a Great Northern
mineral train, consisting of 25 trucks laden with coal, was
proceeding from Nottingley to Womersley, about nine
miles north of Doncaster, on its way to London from the
north, the engine was jolted off the line in consequence of
a length of rail having been left out of its place by some
platelayers who were repairing the line. The engine
broke up the bed of the railway for some distance, and
then got on the metals again. In the meantime eight of
the coal trucks were thrown off the rails, and all of them
more or less smashed. The up-line was entirely blocked
up, and the down-line partially obstructed. A goods
waggon came up immediately after the accident, but the
prompt precautions taken prevented a collision. The acci-
dent having happened near to a crossing, the down-line
was cleared as soon as possible, and the traffic both ways
was worked upon it for the rest of the day with compara-
tively little delay.

DISSENSIONS AMONG ROMANISTS IN IRELAND.
Grave dissensions exist in Ireland, which may be said to
threaten the subversion of the Church of Rome in that
country. Mr. Lucas, M.P., of the Tablet ; Mr. Duffy,
M.P., of the Nation; Dr. Gray, of the Freeman's
Journal ; and Mr. George Moore, M.P., for Mayo, have
got up a formidable confederacy against such of the
bishops as are opposed to the interference of the priest-
hood in political matters ; and they actually go so far as
not only to shout " Down with the Bishops !" but to get
up a cry of "Down with the Pope !" should his Holiness
not give his sanction to the priesthood of Ireland playing
the part of political demagogues.
A RICKETY PIECE ON FURNITURE.—Mr. Bull has in
his possession a cabinet, of modern manufacture and
curious workmanship, composed of various pieces of woods.

inlaid and dovetailed with tolerable ingenuity considering
their great difference of grain and growth; but, it- must
be admitted, clumsily put together on the whole, and
in at any time to fall to pieces. It contains, however,
