also. Miss Kemble has played the part of Queen Catherine in Henry the Eighth, and gratified us much, though scarcely equal, we think, to the part. She evidently strove to impart to it a force which her physical strength would not admit of, instead of relying, more properly, on those of a mental character. Many of her points were excellently conceived, and but for the overstrained efforts would have told admirably. We were especially pleased with the unaffected display of meekness and virtue in the scene where she intercedes with the king against the unjust taxation imposed by Wolsey on the people. There was a delicacy and refinement in this which was extremely beautiful. But the portion most applauded was the concluding scene, which we thought proportionably less meritorious. Altogether, however, Miss Kemble may be said to have added another laurel to her wreath. This theatre has been also entirely re-embellished during the recess, and now looks very elegant. COBURG. At this theatre, in a piece, from the French, entitled Dominique, Mr. Davidge has displayed talent of the very first order. It is impossible to conceive a more excellently sustained character throughout. Every one should see it. We never laughed more heartily. The piece is well written, and in every respect excellently got up. We have lately been favoured, too, with the performances of Dowton and Webster, from Drury Lane, who have appeared in several of the excellent old stock comedies. The house has been, of late, most respectably and fully attended. We have not been able to visit the Surrey this month, but report speaks very highly of several excellent new dramas. The theatre has also secured a grand attraction in the re-engagement of Miss Somerville, whom we sometime ago missed sadly here. We are happy to hear that this young lady has an engagement at the English Opera House for the next season. We are quite confident of her success. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE, CHITCHAT, &c. THERE are, we presume, very few readers unacquainted with the fact that the Reform Bill has been this month thrown out, by a majority of forty-one. Having stated the circumstance merely to record it in our imperishable annals, we shall take leave of the subject, of which we are literally tired. Their Majesties, we are glad to say, enjoy good health. It is their intention, we believe, to grace Brighton with their presence in a very short time. Some of the loudest brawlers for freedom of opinion have lately been directing their fiendish malice against an illustrious lady for the part she is supposed to have taken on a certain great question. We are enabled to state that, however strongly this amiable individual may feel on the matter, she has in no way endeavoured to harass or sway the decision of her illustrious lord. Their Royal Highnesses the Princess Victoria and the Duchess of Kent, have arrived at Kensington Palace from their tour, which, we are delighted to add, has been productive of the most beneficial effects to the health of the interesting heirapparent. It is intended, we believe, to make Norris Castle their permanent summer residence. Their Royal Highnesses are very popular at Cowes and among the inhabitants of Whippingham, in which the castle is situate, from the benevolence displayed towards all classes, and especially to the poor. Sir Walter Scott and his daughter left England for Malta, on Sunday, the 23d ult. on board the Barham, 52 guns, Captain Pigot, for the purpose of spending the winter at Naples. His Majesty, in the most gracious manner, was pleased to tender this mode of conveyance to the worthy Baronet. The cautions and remedies for the prevention of Cholera printed in the "Gazette" are good, but we must protest against the publication of the symptoms. We understand the detail has already caused the demise of one half of the hypochondriacs in the United Kingdom, who, fancying themselves of course affected, have died of sheer fright. In one of the favourable opinions of the press, often quoted by publishers in the subsequent advertisements of books, we find the following compliment to the authoress of" Pin-Money:"-"The authoress has an admirable acquaintance with the habits, the foibles, and the vices, of the society she has delineated!!" Among the forthcoming literary novelties is a work entitled "Practical Examinations on the Immediate Treatment of all the Principal Emergencies that may occur to the Head, Neck, Trunk, and external parts A DRESS of pale pink gros d'hiver, the corsage, made in the shawl style, turns over en pelerine; it is rather less than half high, is bordered with a rouleau of the same material, and embroidered in a running pattern in white silk.

The hat is of crape, a little darker than the dress: it is trimmed under the brim with riband foliage, and a blond lace drapery, which goes back upon the crown: a bouquet of ostrich feathers placed on the right side completes the trimming. Chemisette composed of blond lace WALKING DRESS. A high dress of watered gros de Naples, of the colour called Aventurine. Plain corsage, with gigot sleeves.

The hair is parted on the forehead; it is dressed high on the summit of the head in platted braids, and ornamented with ears of com and corn flowers. The jewellery worn with this dress should be of gold. GENERAL MONTHLY STATEMENT OF FASHION. Gros de Naples dresses are now almost the only ones seen in out-door costume. They are made high, in the pelisse gown style, and for the most part worn with pelerines of the same material, and boa tippets. We have not yet seen any manties, but we know that several have been ordered, which differ in nothing from those of last year, except that the pelerines are smaller. Those for the promenade are of gros des Indes, and have a very rich and lady-like, though plain, appearance, being made without any trimming. Dark-brown, bottle-green, irongrey, and black, are the colours expected to be generally adopted for promenade man tles. Promenade bonnets are either of gros des Indes, or Terry velvet. Those worn at this moment are generally trimmed with riband; but we have seen some that are in preparation, the trimming of which will consist of rosettes, the heart of the rosette formed of a naud of the material of the bonnet, surrounded by a very rich riband drawn full; a rosette is placed on the left side of the crown in front, and a band, which goes from it in an oblique direction, is terminated on the right side, near the bottom of the crown, by a bow and ends.
