FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER.

BONNETS.—Those of the newest kind for the present au-
tumn are made in velours epingle, of a beautiful citron colour,
embroidered in mauve, a single marabout, spotted with
mauve, being its sole ornament. Those in velvets of a light
clear red, trimmed with elegant fancy feathers, are also in
preparation : we can assure our elegantes they have a look
absolutely regal. The form of the bonnets are also com-
mencing to be worn rather shallower at the ears, and have a
rounder appearance : a few are still being worn composed of
rich Bros de Naples, covered entirely with a light kind of
tulle. The newest feathers are the saules eloiens, composed
of the ostrich feather, partly covered with the marabout
feather, either white. pink. blue, black, or glaces de violet,
and the follettes Italiennes in marabout, shaded with the
colour of a vulture, and mounted upon a tufted stem : these
are considered by far the most distingud kind of plume.
Flowers are also much worn.
CAPS.—The present style of morning caps are those named
les bonnets Antoinette ; also those a la Charlotte Corday.
Some are made of the tarlatane, trimmed with Mechlin lace
posee, so 'as to fall on each side in the style of the Maintenon
caps, with rushes of green riband'in tufts. For an evening,
the favourite material is decidedly crepe lisse, and tulle, em-
bellished with flowers, in all colours, with miniature vine
leaves in velvet. For home caps, the clochettes de chine are
more adopted, and garlands of roses mignonnes de chine,
covered with dew, are intended for decorating these dressey
little caps which have no caul to them.
WALKING DRESSES.—PouIt de soie is the favourite
material for walking dresses. The round skirts are still
being made excessively full and very long, the plaits of the
jupe being much broader; there is no doubt but that broad
flounces, and tucks headed with gympe trimmings, will be
worn throughout the winter season. The sleeves ala Riche-
lieu and Louis XIV. being the only style that will be
adopted, it will become necessary, during the approaching
cold weather, to replace the under sleeves of India muslin
and tarlatine for that of a warmer texture and darker kind.

EVENING DRESS.—We cannot cite a prettier style of
dress than those made in white barege a raies, the skirt trim-
med with triple folds ; the sleeves very short, and corsage
la Grecque ; also those made in the same material a double
jape. the upper skirt being made very short, and rounded so
as to open up the centre in the form of a tunic; a border in
cashmere is placed upon the edge of the hem, and continued
up the fronts as far as the point of the waist. The corsage
very low, tight round the top, but fulled into the waist en
gerbe, a narrow lace encircling the neck. Short plain sleeves,
trimmed with two rows of cashmere bordering ; the same
kind of trimming forming a ceinture for the waist.
CLOAKS.—CIoaks will be very fashionable this winter ;
the favourite
material is satin, as that can be worn consist-
ently either in autumn or winter. Those of a pearl grey will
be preferred, encircled with a magnificent border of sortache
ronde of the same shade as the satin, the lining of pink or
deep rose colour quilted in a kind of embroidery. The cloak
is plaited in large folds, and attached to a square piece, formed
to the shoulders, and over which is worn a collar of a mode-
rate size. The form of these cloaks is the same as those
that we have seen for the last five or six years,
can equal their distinque appearance. yet nothing
PELERINES.—Amongst a thousand other novelties which
are just about to appear, we must not omit to mention the
pelerine Montespan, made upon a tulle ground ; this is par-
tially covered with three rows of English lace, forming in
front a derni-mantelet, and behind a perfect round a tuyaux,
the two small ends in front being crossed and confined with
the cou or rosette in the middle of the ceinture.
LES PELERINE CARDINALS.—SOM of these elegant
capes are now slightly changed in their form, those called
Sidonia being of the latest fashion ; they are enriched with
splendid Argonaises embroidery.
CoLouns.—They are all of a dark shade, such as chesnuts,
violets, maroon, green, dark blues, and purple.

SUICIDE or A CLElWYMAN.—Considerable gloom was
caused in the village of Billingham, near Stockton-op-Tees,
on Sunday night, the 25th ult., by the melancholy suicide of
the Rev. Mr. Gibson, of that place. On that day, after
doing the duties in his church at Gillingham,
the unfortunate
gentleman retired about nine o'clock into the orchard ad.
joining his residence, and suspended himself from one of the
apple-trees. He was discovered very soon afterwards by a
member of his family and immediately cut down. As his
feet were ou the ground whilst suspended, and being quite
warm, hopes were entertained of his recovery. Medical aid
was immediately obtained, but without avail—life was ex-
tinct. About two years ago the unfortunate gentleman had
a severe nervous attack, from which he appears never to have
thoroughly recovered, and of late his manners were irregular,
and occasionally dejected.: The day on which the melancholy
event occurred his manners were noticed to be very unusual
in the pulpit, and from the evidence adduced at the inquest,
which was held on the following day, it was satisfactorily
proved that the deceased was of unsound mind at the time he
.e.ommittedthe sad act, and an unanimous verdict in accord-
.9ce was given. The dedeased was unmarried, and resided
with his mother and sister. This much esteemed family are
by this sad event thrown into the greatest affliction.
