The Fashions.

The July report of the fashions will doubt
less interest our lady readers, as we'll as 9th
ors. We give an extract or two from an un-
doubted source:
at is the trimmings of dress vs. that the
greatest changes are exhibited this season.
There is prevailing taste for introducinp
black with almost every color in trimmings,
whether for dresses or bOnnc.s This f,slI.
ion. which obtained last year, has been re.
vivcd; and rcvivals of much older fashions
than this are now obscrvable-for instance
feathers on LcgbOrn bonnets, and capots of
lace lined with pink or lilac. Wide ribbons
at the waist arc again in vogue, and they
may be worn either with morning or cvenin@
costume. The materials in favor are ,aconct'
baregc and mohair, which is now made del
icatcly fine andlthin. Mantlcs and pelisses
OF the same material as the dress, arc fash
iohaDlc. The pclissc is trimmed either with
narrow flouncc or ruche of ribbon. When
Chinese or silk muslins are worn they arc
ornalncntcd with numerous founccs. The
gtlet body has displaced the Jacket, which is
now discarded. The sleeve has not under
gone any striking alteration. 1t mnv be
worn full or flat. and trimmed with bouil-
tonnes to the elbow. The body may DO made
high and plain, buttoned down the middle
with fancy buttons. The low body. with a
hiSh tucker, or uppct formed of alternate
rows of lace and ribbon, is also la mode.
The pagoda sleeve, trimmed with bows of
black velvet, has stylish effect. Buttons
arc also used as trimmings for sleeves, and
for the jockey. with which sonic bodies are
finished off behind
In bonnets, Lcghorn and fancy straws are
much worn. For Teghorp bonnet feathers
furnish the nrettiest trimming, but for other
kinds of bonncts, flowers arc more in request
than feathers WrcathO of shaded viniiets.
IVY, lilies of the valley, g,llinowcrs and hya-
cinths are all i'll request. The wroaths arc
placed Hat across the front, and in bouquets
ut each side, or else fastcn behind and fall in
ends over the curtain.

News Summary.

The intelligence from Europe is important
in some respects. The peace, so quickly en-
tered into, is very generally condemned. In
Italy, the Pope has been burned in cffigy,
and y general outbreak is feared The Eng
lish press also dcnouncc the treaty. The
idea is, that Italy is not relieved, and that
the Empcrors of Franco and Austria have
II secret understanding as to future action
n steamer from California brings 81, l0O.-
900 in gold. Political excitement is running
high in the golden State.
From the lSthmus of Panama comes news
that gold, in large amounts, has been found
on T. bodies of tho Indians in their graves.
The country is being torn up, IIycna-like, in
every direction in the wild hunt for filthy lu-
ere. Verify, has sordid human nature no
respect for the Sancti;y of tho grave?

fessed himself doubly paid. This was all very
kind, and is duly appreciated, but in worldly
point of view, this liberality does not pay 1
