The first volume of the catalogue, in French, consisting of two parts, has reached this country; and there is no doubt that some of our eminent collectors will send over their agents to make purchases.

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS ON FASHION AND DRESS. Promenade dress at present exhibits a good deal of variety, more indeed than we have commonly seen at this time of the year. For the early morning walk, an open or round dress, of jaconot or cambric muslin, is most in favour.

Dresses in dishabille have always a little fulness in the back; but the fronts are either loose or tight to the shape, ac For the dress promenade, or for carriage costume, light silk scarfs, silk or satin spencers, or pelisses and spencers composed of lace or clear muslin, lined with slight silk, are in the highest estimation: fi |
