THE foreign intelligence conveyed to ns by the French papers of Saturday is oi more than ordinary interest. -"Tb?y*^nnounee, on tlie au- thxrity of letters from Trieste, received on Friday in Paris by express, that the Austrian govern- ment his issued for the disbanding of the great- er portion f if-s troops which were stationed in the Venetian provinces or Lombard v. This measure seems confirmatory of what the prime minister of France stated in the Chamber of Deputies, that Europe had now arrived at the point who) a genera! disarming might take place without disgrace or danger to any country. We have seen several letters from Rotterdam, which state that the Dutch were preparing to oppose the entrance of the English into the Scheldt. A 90 gun ship and several other brgcr vessels of war were off the mouth of that river, prepared to resist Admiral Warren's squadron. The Prince of Orange had issued an address to the soldiers and seamen, stating the con- fidence the King had, that they would repel any at- tack from whatever quarter it might coin.t-, itntl again 11 cover themselves with glory, as they had previously done. The squadron lately collected in the Downs, con- sisting of three ships of the line, four frigates, and two brigs, got under weig-h at three o'clock yesterday afternoon. There can be little doubt that the squa- ctron is destined for the Scheldt., The wind being tair, •' tivoii is ti(-stiiieti for t!ie it can easily reach Flushing hy the morning's tide. Count VValewski, who acted as the representative £ in this country) of tiie unfortunate Poles, broke up iiis.establishment in St. on Saturday, and has left town for Paris. A very affecting scene, took place on the domestics being toid to put aside the tri coloured cockade, the emblem of the nation now extinct. His Excellency, more fortunate titan many of his countrymen, possesses a large fortune, and has proceeded to Paris to arrange some public affairs he is expected to return to this country in about six weeks, when, it is said, he will lead to the altar the amiable and accomplished daughter of the Counte-ss of Sandwich. The enthronizit ion of the Rev. Dr. Mai thy, as Bi- shop of Chichester, took place at ten o'clock on Sa- turday morning, with the usual ceremonies in the Ca- thedral.

TUESDAY, NOV. 1. ADOPTION OF THE PROTOCOLS BY THE BELGIAN CHAMBSK.—We have received by express from Paris at a late honr this day the following highly important r om.nnnication, received at Paris by telegraph :—" The discission on the adoption of the protocols was conti- nued through Thursday and Friday, to a late hour on Saturday, when, on a division, the whole project was adopted" by the same majority as on the sections."— The adhesion of the Belgian government and the Bel- gian legislature to the propositions of the Conference, may therefore now be looked upon as final and abso- lute. Letters from Antwerp which have arrived to-day s! ate.— "The King of Holland remains obstinate. He says he will never consent to a treaty, though he may submit to force. He does not deny the power of his itilies but he still relies on their justice. Should the King remain decided, how can the question be settled? We cannot here that England, or Austria, or Prussia, or Russia, will ever fire a cannon against the King of Holland." Account* from Lisbon, of the 14th instant, state that information has received there that the Constitu- tional army in Terceira consists of from 10 to 1 1,()(J0 men, and it was expected that on the 13th their flotilla was going to take all Portuguese shipping they met their operations against Portugal would soon take place.
PUBLIC- ENTRY OF SIR C. WETHERELL,…
PUBLIC- ENTRY OF SIR C. WETHERELL, DBBABFUL RIOTS, AND EXTENSIVE DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY AT BRISTOL. dbridged fi-opn the Bristol Ifercury.) It becomes our painful duty this week to record a series of outrages which, for magnitude and daring, exceed every thing of the kind witnessed in this coun- try for a long series of years. Yet, calamitous as the t':icts Eire, %e (to liiinii it iiifiriitely a more distressing reflect!OH that the whole should have been the conse- quence of the rash conduct of a few ill-advised indivi- duals and, when the first breach of the peace arose, that it might have been, by the exercise of a little energy on the part of the Magistrates, effectually quelled. The riut, commencing witli their folly, was fostered by their indecision; and when it came to a head sufficiently strong to attack the public building's, our constituted guardians abandoned them and the city j to the infuriate mob, and thus virtually abdicated the future government of the place, by declaring themselves incapable of acting at the. very moment their services were most needed. On Saturday morning, the chief constables of the respective wards, accompanied by a very numerous bodv of the most respectable inhabitants, and many other individuals, especially hired for the purpose, each one provided with a short staff, assembled in the; area of the Exchange, and thence, proceeded to Totter- down, a short distance from the city on the Bath road, to await the arrival of .the Recorder. At about half- 1 IJittten, ¡:,¡¡ utwrtes ivas perceived to a rapid rate, in a chariot drawn by four greys, and on stopping at Totterdowa for the puspose of being hand- ed into the-Sheriff s carriage, he was instantly assailed hy the most deafening veils, groans, and hisses. The constables were then, its considerable numbers, placed constables were then, its considerable numbers, placed around the carriage, a gentleman on horseback riding close by the side of each door, and three or four hun- I dred preceding and following, in this manner the cavalcade, which comprised also the usual number of Mayor's and Sheriffs5 tifficers, mounted, with favours, proceeded slowly towards the city. Just as Sir Charles was passing over Hill's Bridge, bis carriage was assail- ed with four or five stones; but no movement took place with a view to apprehend the offenders, the whole force being anxious only for the protection of the Re- corder's person. in passing from the Bridge to High- street, Gue uf the constables, a respectable tradesman, received a dangerous contusion on the head. j On arfivjr.jft.-ihe {juiliihtll, hs Broad-strret, it w«si with tfh?. gtv:ite*t difficulty that Sir Charles could alight, from tins pressure of the immense multitude; bat, after the lape of a few cniaates, he was handed t oat in safety, azid proceeded to take his station on tilo Jmmek. Vke doors of tiie hall were then thrown open <-o t. poptitarle, avil, in a few minutes the area was .Jtsompletejy choked ap*. On tite Recorder alighting1, we Cho,&Lt he see mod somewhat agitated, which indeed was rejMsanahly expertott, but he appeared to be in the cnJoyrut of excellent health. On taking his seat, lioa-ever, he resumed his composure, and smiled and nodxied ta ssy»;r;ti individuals whom he recognized in court. The usual forms tor opening the commission theu coasaieaced; but the and confusion O."ca. 1 siouei considerable iatcrraptson. Mr. Serjeant Lud- i«4r, T«w»-Clerk- then rone and said, that 1« believed there ivas aet an rati vidua! present who had come there for the purpose of insulting the commission of the iC'wgi that, tfrith respect tREFR.J4:Hre the tayst] astonadiag cries werle rti*,ed by the people, in favour of that measure, and mi derisiau of the Recorder, raised j with yell«a»d daring which Sir Cbarfes. tvk^ staod'irnnt«dty hehiud she Tewa-Clerk, palled the latter by the gewa, and from tais- geitarles. for it was "impostib tA, a bear a ward he said, manifested consider- afeie -dispieaaare a £ th« ititroductioft of the subject.)— The Towa-Cterk tbett resumed, merely adding, that qua bad ao £ kia«", ro co with the proceedings of that day. The reading r, y d the commission was then attempted to he proceeded vitli, but the confusion again became so uproarious,as 1 11, ro render tbe voice of Mr. Brice, the Mayor's clerk, perfectly inaudible. The Itee r(!cl- then, addressing one of the officers, said if the latter saw any person in court making a disturbance an would bring him for- vard, he would immediately commit him. The only •'fleet of this notice was to raise, if louder lamour than that which it w.ts intended to suppress; on this fresh ebullition of feeling' -partially snbsiding, Sir Charles again repeated his instructions to the offi- cer, who repJied by saving thlt the tumult arose chiefly from a few individuals, and suggested the propriety of some constables being sent into the body of the hit). Several of the specials then d'sposed themselves among the people, who then commenced a different species of annoyance, by coughing, which at length they ended in a g(.nt'j'¡dbun.t of indignation. In this manner the usual preliminaries were gone through, ending by the idjournment of the court, by Sir Charles, till eight o'clock on Monday morning. The Recorder then withdrew from the bench,, and the populace, after some further marks of their displeasure towards the learned judge, gave three cheers for the King and retired into the street. Some considerable time then elapsed before the Re- corder was taken up for the purpose of being conveyed to the Mans'on-House. During the interval, Broad- street, and, indeed, the whole line of the route, was oc- cupied by a dense mass of the population. Beyond the mere vocal expression of their feelings, however, there was nothing in their conduct at this period, calculated to'excite alarm. Oil Sir Charles's reappearance, he •was'greeted with, a repetition of the same favors that had before been so liberally bestowed upon him, which .continued through tlie n minder of his progress, with the exception that, :It the Commercial Rooms, in front of which llIlilding it body of his admirers had placed themselves, lie was greeted with 3 cheers. But tin re was no violence beyond hissing and groaning-nothing else occurred, as far as we can learn, until his arrival at the Mansion-House in Queen-square. There a few stones were thrown, and a lamp or a window of the a r.age was broken, but the Recorder himself received no injury We have now arrived at what we conceive to be the. most important part of our nairative, inasmuch as it is the olinion of every one with whon. we have conversed that the proceedings which dirtrtly followed the arri ya) of the Recorder and Coi-pot-i tion at the Mansion House were the more immediate cause of all the dis- graceful and ever-to-be-deplored events which have subsequently transpired. A few minutes after their alighting, a rush was made on the populace, by a posse of special constables, for the purpose of securing the persons by whom the missiles had just been thrown, and an individual was taken IlOld of, and dragged info the iVJansion-House. Again, another rush tooli place, and another capture was made; and this was repeated several times the conviction being pretty general that persons were setected at random. We saw one man carried away from a quarter where an affray had just taken place, and were informed that he had been knock- ed down by a blow on his head, and afterwards un. mercifully beaten. We have since learned that his scuil was fractured, and that he is dead. No Magistrate made his appearance to regulate their proceedings, to direct their operations, or to remonstrate with the po. pulace. At this moment the number of persons collected at the Square could not have been less than ten thousand and a cry having been raised of 11 To the Back," where piles of faggots and firewood are usually kept, a large body proceeded thither, and, having armed themselves with sticks, returned in a few minutes to the scene of action. It was then that, for the first time, we appre- hended any serious collision; but the constables, rush- ing out in a body, in a moment infused terror into the people, and the sticks were soon to be seen strewed in every direction upon the ground. These were then gathered up in bundles and carried off. 5 At about four o'clock, when the shades of night were rapidiy approaching, a considerable portion of the con- stabulary force was most unadvisedly permitted to re- tire to their homes, for the purpose of refreshing them- selves, with an understanding that they should return to relieve tltc remainder at six o'clock. From that mo- ment the mob became more daring in their attacks on the Ma nsion House, until at length the Mayor came forward to beg of them to desist and to retire peaceably to their homes. His Worship, we regret to state, du- ring his address, was assaulted with stones, and a very large one very narrowly missed striking him on the head. The riot-act was then read, but without pro- ducing the least good effect upon the mob, who, per- ceiving the weakness of the force opposed to them, rushed upon the constables, disarmed them, and beat them severely. In this affray we have heard of some losing their lives, others having their legs broken, and very many being severely injured. One constable, as a condition of release from their vengeance, was com- pelled to throw his own staff at the Mayor's windows; others were obliged to seek refuge in flight; and one was actually chased into the float, whence lie was taken up by a boat-hook Nothing now remaining to curb the mob, the work of violence immediately commenced by a general and si- multaneous attack on every part of the Mansion-House. In an instant, the windows and sashes were smashed to atoms the shutters were beaten to pieces; the doors forced and every article of furniture on the ground- floor broken up in fact, every thing that could be found was demolished. At this critical moment it was, as we have been informed, that Sir Charles effected his retreat, in disguise, through the adjoining premises; but it was not 7itade knoicti lintil t2 o'clock on the following day, Sunday, that he had left the city. For the present, however, the Mansion-House was saved froni conflagration by the arri- val of the troops. Under the protection of the military, the constables and specials again collected in considerable numbers, and several of the most daring of the mob were made pri- soners. Still it was found impossible to clear the Square or streets adjacent. The soldiers trotted their horses backward and forward amidst the cheers of the mob, but not the slightest disposition was shown to disperse. The Colonel of tile district, Colonel Brereton, exerted himself in the most h: ntane and laudable manner. He harangued the multitude, begged and entreated them to repair to their homes, andcaltioned them of the dreadful conse- quences which their conduct otherwise would infajlibly draw upon them. He was every where received with the greatest cordiality, and with loud cheers.. In the manner already described, things proceeded in the Square until twelve o'clock at night. About this time a party of the rioters, disappointed by the restraint which the troops imposed upon them, proceeded to the Council- House, where they cemmenced operations by smashing the windows. Meanwhile orders were given to the Ca- valry to make a charge, and here the scene became one of the greatest confusion. The people, who ran in all directions, were pursued through the streets for a consi- derable distance by the soldiers, and several of them re- ceived severe cuts from their sabres. Many of the peo- ple took refuge in the various passages in Wine-street, from whence they assailed the troops with stones, parti- cularly at the top of the Pithay, where one of the soldiers having been struck, he immediately turned round, and s ot a man dead upon the spot. It has been currently reported that he dismounted and followed him; but we have been assured, on good authority, that this was not the case. This was at half-past twelve, and the soldiers continuing to gallop about the streets, prevented the re- assembling aftite mob during the night. On Sunday morning the people agam began to assem- ble at an early hour in Queen-sqaare., but every thing re- maining quiet, aiW it being hoped danger had subsided, the troops were withdrawn for some refreshment, having heen on duty 4isore. than twenty four hours. They had scarcely disappeared, when the mob again commenced their outrages. Ascending now to the upper rooms of the Mansion-House, th ey proceeded to throw out tbèvlltdäblë furniture Into the Square. The drawers and other depo* sitories were fansacked, and wearing-apparel, bed and table linen, china, &c. were plundered or wantonly des- troyed. But another, and a most dangerous excl.ing cause now began to develope it elf. During the sacking of the Man- sion-House, the mi ie-cellars were forced, and it is sup- posed that at least one-third of a stock of three hundred dozen of choice wines was earned off and wasted and drank by the mob. The scene att'¡ismo¡¡\ent was of the most depraved description all age. o; h »:h sex, were to be seen greedily swal:owing the lnlo\i.jtT.liquors, while upon the ground the bodies of scr.ivs weve- to be found dead with drunkenness. The were then speedily replaced, but the infuriate mob hgan t(i act on the offensive, and sought to wreak. their '■vengeance on them for the wounds they had inflicted on the preceding evening, and particul rly to he revenged for the -killing of the man on the top of the Pithay. They .attacked them with a shower of stones and brick-bats, which fie men were IIlJauJe to resist, no magistrate i:ein_r inaÜend auce to take the responsibility of orders to that dfcct, In this state of things the commanding officer it pnidelltto withdraw the troops (tlie 14th light ,I i'af-,ooiis) and replace them with a body of the d drago <> t Mds. On the retirement of the former, they were folJowed by a large portion of the mob, who continued their assaults upon them along (he Quay and over fie Draw rid e. On arriving at St. Augustine's Back, being provoked be- yond further forbearance, they turned round and fired se- veral shots on their assailants, and a further lo^s of life was tiie result. The mob, however,nothhigdaunted, still conti- nued to follow them, and in College-Green some further firing occurred. In this place a considerable number of persons had assembled, expecting that Sir Charles, as usual, would attend divine service in the Mayor's Chapel. Still the molt continued their assaults, hanging upon the soldiers' heels, until they arrived at their quarters in the 13oar's Head yard, wiiere they w^ere again fired upon. The discharges, as the resitlt miist show, were, however, but partial the number of killed, as near, as we could ascertain, being 1, and wounded, 7 or 8. One poor fel- low, who had taken no the disturbances, was shot through the arm as he was standing upon the Quay, on the opposite side. Immediately after these ocurcrences, Colonel Br^retin rode down to the Square, followed by a considerable num- ber of men and boys, who cheered him on his way thither. He assured them that there should beiio more firing, that the 14th should be immediately sent out of the citv, and again exhorted them to return to their homes. This was about eleven o'clock, and it was truly awful to reflect on the scenes which were passing at the time when service was commencing in the churches in the neigh- bourhood. In the Square, with the exception of the scenes of drunkenness which were still going on, nothing particu- larly transpired until the evening, with the exception that an individual mounted the statue of King William, and fixing a tri-coloured cap on a long pole, pronounced aioud, The Cap of Liberty The soldiers were drclwn up in front of the Mansion-House, and the mob seemed nowise disposed to molest them. After awhile, however, they manifested a restlessness for action, and a party, by no means numerous, proceeded to the BRIDEWELL, for the purpose of rescuing the prisoners. They then proceeded to liberate them, and, having accomplished their end, they forthwith set the building on fire. Du- ring their operations, not the slightest molestation was offered them. This happened about two o'clock. About the same, time a stronger party of rioters, comprising, in- deed, almost the whole body, proceeded to THE NEW GAOL, a strong-huill modern building, having been erected about ten years since at a cost of lIearly £ 100,000. The Caravan used for conveying, the prisoners to the Guildhall was launched into the water entire, and thither also weie con- signed the Governor's books and (heapparatt)-. for con- structing the drop. l'iie prisoners were now released, and the scenes which followed were beyond description. Many of them, both male and female, stripped off their prison cloihes, and proceeded on their way almost in a state of nudity. As thev passed along, ihe inob cheered them and followed after them with exultations. Many of them met their friends on the outside, and it is not easy to depict the extravagant joy with which they mutually embraced each other. After the prisoners had been liberated, amounting altoge- ther exclusive of debtors, to more than 100, the next step taken was that of setting the prison on tire audabiack handkerchief having been tied ta the wpather-cock on the top of the porter's lodge, over the gateway, it seemed to be the signal for commencins; operations, ftp- immediately af- ter dense clouds of smoke were to issue fro n every part or the building. During the proceedings, and while the prisoners were in course of liberation, a party of the 3d Guards, about 20 In number, arrived j but the mob ap- peared nothing intimidated on the contrar y, they cheered the troops, who acknowledged the compliment by taking off their caps, and almost-immediately after turned round and departed. As soon as the wo< k of destruction was here completed, the rioters divided themselves into parties, the one proceeding to the TOLL HOUSES. at Prince's-strect Bridge, another to the one at the Well?, and another to the one at St. which were speedily iii flames. They then set off, about seven o'clock, to the GLOUCESTER COUNTY PRISON, Law ford's Gate, which, in a shoit time, was broken into, the prisoners all released, and the building also fired. Here the flames were as appalling as at the New Gaol. A mere handful of the miscreants proceeded to THE BISHOP'S PALACE, Canons' Marsh, and, having effected an entrance, immedi- ately commenced the work of destruction. Ordels were then sent for the military, who had been guarding THE MANSION HOUSE, to repair for the protection of the Bishop's residence. Thev had no sooner, however, left for that purpose, than the mob, who had all day med ilaled the total destruction of the Man- sion House, commenced operations, and in a very short pe- riod set it on fire, commencing in theiitcheri under the banqnetting room. Oil the arrival of the trtHJpsatlhe Bish- op's Palace, they found things there tolerably Fecui-e but thf flames which even then arose from the Mansion House too plainly indicated that they had gone to the protection of the one place, at the expense 01 the destruction of the other. The tire spread" ith most surprising quickness, nni in about twenty aiinutes the roof fell in, and, together w ith the whole front, came dotvii into the street with a tremen- dous crash. By this time, thenreat the Bishop's Palace raged through. out the whole pile ofbuildinlr. which, in a short period was reduced to ashes,, The Right Rev. the Bishop, who happen- ed to have been in town during the last ten or twelve days, removed out of the city about the middle of the day and' we hear that the most valuable of his effects had also been removed, as a measure of precaution. He preached, we believe, at the Cathedral in the morning. After the destruction of the Mansion House the rioters conceived (he plan of firing the adjo'tning houses, and, by twelve o'clock at night, the whole mass, from the Mansion House to the middle avenue, including: THE CUSTOM HOUSE And all the Back Building, in Little King-street, were one immense mass of fire. t The Custom House, as may readily be supposed, was a large building, anrt the expertness of the wretches in lighting it up here, it is certain, proved the deBtructiwn of maw-v^ who were ranging the upper apart- ments. Many of them were seen as (hey approached thej windows to d ropllllol he flames, and others, among whom was a female, threw themselves in desperation from the windows. The latter was carried to the infirmary, where she has since died. lit this manner they swept aw;.y one whole side, and then proceeded to another: commencing with THE EXCISE OFFICE, at the corner. Altogether there have been completely de- stroyed Forty-Two Dwelling-Houses and Warehouses, EX- CLUSIVE of the Mansion House, Excise Office, Custom House. the four Toll Houses, the three Prisons, and the Bishop's Palace, i Morning dawned on such a scene as had never before been witnessed in this place. The dame., it is true, were subsiding, but the appearance- of Queen-square was appal- ling in the extreme. Numerous buildings were reduced to an. heap of smoking ruins, and oluers were momentarily falling in; while around, in various parts, lay several ofi the rioters, in the last stage of senseless intoxication, and with countenances more resembling Sends than men. Towards the evening, the flames ih several houses of the Square broke out afresh, and part of the pavement in King- street was forced up by the heat arising from some brandy which was hu-ning in the vaults beneath. Thelotal num- ber of killed and wounded, as far as we bane been able to ascertain, is as follows .S,uie;ii and I woman, the tafter in consequence of severe bruises received in one of the houses where she had been engaged in plunder: a little boy alllo, who was shot through the bowels, is not expected to reco- 51 other persons. including 5 women, have alio re- ceived injuries, some of them very severe ones, -1)rincipaHy sabre wounds; a few ic of the parties leaping 1. from the burning houses; In this account we enumerate tie Causes taken to the public hospitals only Many lives n cr, J 11í1. in Ihe flames, and several -persons who receiver) injur* having been taken to their own homes, we h/ive no meaii- of a tq uiring tiie req u isi te in format iou, res peeling them.

RIOT AT BATH. Abnllt seven o'clock on Sunday evening, a report became prevalent that the Bath troop of Cavalry were to be called out to Bri-tol to assist in quelling trie rioters, upon which the people became exa-peniied, ;iticl weresoon col- lerterl in the street- Captaiu Wilkins being; discovered to enter the White f lai r, an immen-e collection "f peoplesoon filled the street opposite, & in a short time after every »in- flow iujfrout of the Inn was smashed to pieces, & the road under covered with glass. Some person atiempted to address tlWII) frMI1 a window, hilt missiles weie tlrroun at him, and soon-compelled him to retire. About nine o'clock abod\ of the ITwh, about a hundred men alld boys, proceeded thence to the Upper Bristol Road to a faggot pile, where thev armed themselves with the largest sticks ihey could find, and relumed, and broke the shutters of the lowei windows, and soon made the front of the Inn a scene of dilapidation. Portions of the mob had several ti nes pro- ceeded backward and forward thence to the Guildhall,and broke many of the u indows of file liffei- building. At ten the .mugisl rales -had sworn in about 300 special constables, who immediately began parading the -Ireets, aud soon took several of the rioters into custody; from (en to eleven the crowd continued to increase, and several person^ on the roof of the White fiart dislodged the slates of the roof and threw them down on the people. The continuance' of'the., riot here was not of long duration, and the above is the ex- tent of the mischief. 'llit- ait)[) not (-tiiiie.y until past one o'clock Monday morning. The disturbance in Bath was commenced only by a few idle boys, and joined in only by a few of the lowest descrip- tion of people, Tiie Special Constables soon an'd' effectually restored older; and there i-, not (lie least fear of any fur- ther disierbance. To Sir Charles Wetherell. Bristol is in- debted for all. ihe calamities of yesterday, and Bath for the small share of public ebullition which partially distuibed the peace of the citizens.

! FEMALE FASHIONS FOR NOVEMBER.
FEMALE FASHIONS FOR NOVEMBER. ( From The World of Fashion ) HATS AND BONNETS.—Hats of lwlire, lined with shtin, are, in our opinion, among the most elegant of those just introduced. The crown is round, and of a moderate hetght, the brim a little and some thing, wider than hose lately worn. Some are trimmed with ribbons only; others with cocks' feather, arranged in the shape of'a ottinch of vteeping Nvillow; this ornament is placed on one •mle, and a full knot of ribbon on the'other. Feuille d' Acati(Ite (,,vetit?tj-itie, rose colour, and Swedish bhe, are the colours most in favour for hats. Sometimes the satin that lines them is of the same colour, but more frequently white. 1 All the new autumnal bonnets are. decidedly of the cot- tage shepe more so, indeed, than they were last summer. Ismail oiim, cut square at the ears, hut pointed in front, and shading the face very much. The crown is placed very far back. On the left side is a small knot, from which is-sile two long- light bows, and two ends of ribbon, arranged something in the style of tiie wings of a windmill in motion. The curtain behind is very full. Moire and Gros des Indes a e the favourite materials for bonnets. OuTr.uooR COST Ull E.-NII-S. Bell has introduced somp very elegant autumnal mantles in Grt)s tie Tours, Gros des hides, and cachendrienne; the last are of ditTerent patterns, tin- oihers plain. We refer to our print for the iiiodel of a singularly elegant one. Others arc made with sleeves, which from a point upon the hand, and a (loiible collar. But the most ingenious, and, perhaps, the most useful novelty since the introduction of the chapcan bras by Mrs. Bell, is a mantle for evening parti s, made with whalebone in the sleeves, in such a manner that it can neither fall upon the dress, nor rumple it. S veral orders have already heen given for wadded pe- lisse?. They are comp sed either of Gros des Ifidet or Gios dps, Naples, and are, in general, of the new colours. aventu.riiie,jeuille d'acarthe, and de mantcnon this tastis an extremely rich, but sober, colour.

They have a plain tight corsage, with dniadis sleeves, the upper part of which are sustained by elastic bracelets; they are very narrow, and are concealed immediately bell). the elbow hy the ful- ness of the sleeves. There is always a large pelerine, and sometimes two. MAKE AND MATERIALS OF HALF-DRESS.—Plain and filmed chalys, Gros de Naples, and merinos, are the ma- terials in favour; but we must observe, that very few dresses of the Jattei- mate) iai have yet been seen, and they are of the most beautiful and expensive kind. Chaly and Gy-os de Naplei are in equal favour. The most novel cor- sag-fv a' e made a la vierge in front, with f-ill hacks which fasten invisibly, or else with a little fulness at top, and drawn at the bottom. An ornament, of a perfectly novel form, somewhat resembling a collererette, composed of the same material as the dress, adorns the top, of the corsage. t"!

The prettiest are of tije bine satin, trimmed with a bouquet of short curled ostrich feathers, to correspond. A round brim, of a very becoming width across the forehead, and rather close at the ears the brim is lined with blond lace, gathered in the shape of a fan. MAKB AND MATERIALS OF EVENING DiEss. Iiiiong the new materials which belong to winter rather than autumn, bnt for which many orders have already been given, are the satin polonais and a la reine, reps Afrkuin, psilentine, and moires a colonnes satinees. These materials are of extreme richness. The satin la reine unites the gloss ofthe idlest satin, to the softness and-graceful glow of cachemire. A new article, called gros de Tours a ruhans de satin, will, it is expected, be IlIlIchiu favonr; it fully equals,tlie finest ve.v ts. The for evening dress are, perhaps, the most novel and heatttifnLthathave ever yet appeared. These novelties will begin to be general-y adopted tow- ards the middle ofthe month at present e'hulij and cache- mere are most in favour. Some have the 'corsages a la Grae-. (file: and short wide sleeves, with falling plaits; it it a great improvement to these sleeres that they arc lined with a stiffened material,instead of having aii undersleeve. HEAD-DRESSES IN EVENING DREss.-Dress hats are b 'coming very fashionable. Velvet ones begin to be worn, and will become general by the end-of the month. Some are of feuille d'acanthe coloured velvet, It mimed vnth white marabouts, disposed in the form of a blanch of weeping willow. The mnrabouts were of the. colour ot the hat, which we should observe is of the dem- beret form. The plunr; was placed on the right side, and fell very low on the left.

AGKICTLTURAL REPORT FOR OCTOBER.—With all it alternations of moisture and drought, the danger ativ many accidents from fearful thunder-storms, in fre quency beyond any late-year experience, its sUllllell: and continuous parching heats, urging on premature and simuitaneous ripeness in the corn, to its obvious imminent risk, unless preserved by the instant exertion of all the labour that could be raised, the late harvest season has proved, and is generally acknowledged, as one of the most fortunate. So much, however, cannot be safely averted in favour of the crops, as to the far greater proportion, and this drawback unfortunately refers to the most prod nct. TC corn districts. Little novelty has occurred on this point since our last Re- port. The prime article, wheat, on a general avejMge» is judged, by some, perhaps hastily, to- be near one- third minus. I n the great corn comity, SufLdk, too many of the lands have returned barely three sacks per acre, much of the crop mildewed, or the grain thin and shrivelled from its too speedy maturity. There are, however, exceptions to this ill fortune in most or all districts, some lands escaping, the produce of which is said to be of fine quality, the kernels plump and heavy but in very few parts is the acteable quantity much boasted. Barley, not equal to last year's crop, on the whole, is not perhaps defieieninqnalltity and weight of sample, but the quality is so generally in- ferior, that the maltsters will not find samples very profitable for their purpose in great plenty. Barley. however, will be much in demand where beans and pease have not been productive. Oats have partaken of the uncertainty of the season, failing in some parts, but generally they are little, if any, below an average, but, like other grain, defective in height and bulk of straw.In the great barley county, Norfolk, that crop t? said to he one quarter shortof ah average, the quality still further deficient. Tlitf constant rains of the last and beginning of the present month, with the Sub- sequent high temperature, have forced an immense ve- iictation of the grasses, and have had a similar bene- i ficial effect upon the root crops. All these equal or exceed in bulk that of any year within memory. There are few faiturcs in turnips, for the Swedes, which have escaped the mildew, appear likely to be highly pro- ductive. Potatoes are a vast crop over the whole is- land, and iî1 Ireland, and the breadtn planted in Eng- land was probably greater than in any former year.— This root, improved and improving in quality, its salubrity- and indispensable use (honour to the memoiy of its introducer, Raleigh) are all but the infallible Cobbett!
