OF great variety this season; silks, gaces and shot,
lines de lame, &c. &c. with respect to the make,
there appears to exist some degree Of rivalry be-
tween tight sleeves aud bouante ones, but it pro-
bable the latter will triumph; the present tight
sleeves differ from those years since-they
resemble habit sleeves, having two seams and ell
bows, and four small buttons ON the bottom The
full sleeves are moderate in slze and with
out any trimming on the top and rather short, with
band which buttons, and from it issues a sleeve of
clear embroidered muslin, also terminating
with band, to which cuff is sewed, falling
the hand. SPencers continue in fashion; those
of velvet with straight sleeves without any funess,
almost tight, no wristband Some very pretty spring
dresses appeared at LOngchamps, with biais at the
bottom OF the skirts, and the sleeves the bodies
open ceur, wit biais laid on, which met those
founces lisered with another color; embroidery in
silks is very fashionable both for shawls and dresses
Lace is also much used on dresses, both black and
white; as general observation, 1t may be said, that
the folds dresses may either each other
or no that points suitable to married ladies' but
for young ladies the points not deep, and the
body higher and the uness the top ofthe sleeves
is confined very low the arm. Colored tulles will
be fashionable for light evening dresses, with cor
sage drape, trimmed with bouillons.
Bonncts made rather straight, short in front,
and not quite low ut the those Of last year;
the shape is round in front, and very small; the
crown quite low and very little ornamented The
bonnets at nongchamps were white with mara
bouts, elacees silks, poult dc sole covered with
nets with wells, reps covered with Grape, which
bouillonne the edge, but in folds under aud the
crown Capotes Of gauze or Grape, with fchu ol
lace or gauge them; the tavorite flowers were
punches OF heartsease, roses, vieets, lilacs, and
lilies of the valley.
Ribbons are but little used on bonnets; the IA
vorite ones are apricot, puce, green violet, grey,
pink and chOc olate; but before this came the Scotch
paids Of ribbon, velvet. plain. epingle checked,
plain ground, or varied BY SNOWY flower. satin

they will be worn the ends Of silk scarfs, and
round cachmIre and Barge sLswls, the latter ma
terials again appearing; very large silk scaris will
be worn at the commencement Of the season. without
being trimmed with fringe; but they be-
come common, it is expected lace will be again re-

fair demand for fine wooens, and light fancy goods,
generally speaking the market was not so brisk as
