FASHIONS FOR JULY.

Hats, shadeM, are oftlte Idlest fa»li'o'n». They are o imposed of gauze fotiis. the col urn shcdfd across, f< om a very light hue to the darkeU shade. For instance, upon a citron coloured one, the first of the palee't 'traw-c lour, the dee|i< st and last "fold being of the hue of the .marig.-.ld, the I intermediate folds btitig of graduated shades. Walking Dressks.—Some of thu most fashionable are made i.f n;oHs;e'ine, either in white or coloured. These imu6selines, de soie are in gWat. inquest, and are in great request, and are generally made up after,the.fashion :—The corsage jdemibusque-, and with falling back a ceihture , the sleeves si , la Russe, the skirt trimmed with two broad volai ds or deep flounces. Evening or djnner dresses.are principally com'posedof the gros grain lUac s manve, or verdant green, handsomely trimmed with two flounces of magnificent broad black lace, put on nearly plain, and of agothic kind of pattern. # The-berthe worn over the corsage is of the same deeciptnnof lace; and sufficiently deep to falf a little below ihe waist, and just over the ; froris of tte aims. Paletots.—Several of our first rate modistes are commencing to bring forth thU sjyle of overall dress; they are denomina'ed the paletot d' e6, and are made entire of black and white lace. We very much doubt their becoming universal, being not only very expensive, but mostly intended for carriage or afternoon dress. Mantelets.—A very fanciful looking one, and one with which our noblesse aie much pleased, has just appeared, composed of white crepe glissant upon pink sitin. The ends of this nautelet are rounded at the bottom, the pelerine trei ample;'ah'd over each arm is a seam, by the aid of which the ends are fulled to the top of the waist, and their junction wiib the pelerine produces a kind of demimatiche, the whole of the mantelet being encircled with a pink satin ribbon fringed with -pink', having in the centre a very narrow stripe, the pelerin e being ornamented with three rows of this ribbon, ruche ;\ la vieilie. Those intended for promenade are made in shot and glacd silks such as the following one; a reflets blue and pink f jrinsd deep, and rounded at the buck, cut very ■sloping over the top of the shoulders', descending dowd the front with long square ends, and trimmed upon the back with trea volancs, edged with h fringe, terminating in a pt/int at the bend of the arm ; lares are much 'Used for the trimming of these kind of mantelets, they arc generally put on as a kind of frilling round the two capes or pelerines, and pi,in upon the front part of the ends.; others a.c decoratrd witri three rows of fringe & U fonteq*ue, or with gauze ribbons, : rbend ptaite." .. .«. f ~•-;-'-•■ ; . CaSps.—Nothing can equal the c-quettish and facinating appearance of the caps of the present day; pink and b.ue , kve the colours always most in vo'gub, n (withstanding which, we see them i trimmed with ribb.ons of a darker hue. such as [ deep blue, green, graseille, and vio'et ; some very I distinguished looking ones we have remarked decorated with trimmings of Velvet. Morning Dresses are commencing to be quite j rechercb6 in their appearance. For instance, nothing can be more elegant than a dress composed of the tissu Memphis; de.corated wth four fl unce?, the corsage having pret'y facings or r.-ver turning bick and a ceintura; sleeves a I'ottomane, hay ng under ones of some light material. Tue tissu Memphis is now in great favour, and is only made in lght colours, plain or in stripes, plaids, or sefr!& de pois. For home costumes bareges End tartalan muslins are preferred, i the former in pretty shaded stripes, tha blouse j body and the skirt perfectly simple; while those 1 in'pink tartalan were maiie with the Grecian body, end the skirt ornamented with fjur broad folds. The sleeves are generally made the same width at the top as at the wrist, where they are fulled into a band of sufficient wdih io allow of a Maiming composed of three rows of lace, put on so as to touch one another, and ve-y slightly fuiled. Fashionable Colours for the present month j are principally pink, bliie-tourtenlle, white, every shade of green, lilacs, and grey. Mixed colours aiemuch in vogue; they are' generally of the most opposite hue, such a> 8 Nankin colour, and red, pink, and green.

A meeting of Sf: Patrick's ward, Dublin, was held in O'Meil's fields, on Sunday, " for the purpose of petitioning Parliament fof the repeal of the Union ; to commemorate the triumph of the Repeal rent." In extent, the sssemblege amounted to a monster meeting, for Mr. O'Connell reckoned the numbers present at £.0,000 or 75,000. The speaking was as trite in its nature, the concourse as unanimous, as at any Repeal meeting for years patt. A. rematkable landslip took place in Georgia, on the 27th June, when a mountain in the district of Ossrliuski, covered ttees, slid down upon the hamlet of Scheleor, and covered a space of twenty.four acres of land, pushing, as it were, the hetunlet, with its inhabitants, five houses, and three mills above the third part of a mile before it. —Bombay Times. Sir Robert Peel has purchased the estate of Cloeeburn, Dumfries-shire, for'the tfuin of £250,000. ' '.„■■•■ ■■■■■-■
