... I I DTHE rASHIONS FOR JULY. [Abridged from Le Fotlet, Jeurwai do grand Mosdej The adaptation of the fashion of past times to the cos- tume of the present day, contributes to produce most charming models. Thus, the dress worn in the eighth century by Marguerite of Provence; the flat body en- circhng the tips, to which are added the sleeves of the time of Raphael, the coifferes of Elizabeth of ...
... DRAJMA. THE GERMAN PLAYS. The second season of the German Plays com- menced last evening with Egnsont. The unbroken atten- tion of a full audience to a rather dull play, which lasted four hours, must have proved to the most sceptical that the taste for German literature in the country is a great fact.

... DBAMA. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.-GERMAN PLAYS. Goethe's tragedy of Faust was performed here last night. The public had an opportunity of judging last season how far this play, with its necessary curtailments, was fitted for representation on the English stage. It can scearlcybe said that the verdict on the capabilities of Faust, as an acting play, was on the whole favourable, although much interest ...
... Last night was produced-said to be from the pen of Mr. TALFoURD-one of those extraordinary jumbles of extra- vaganza, parody, and burlesque, for which the gentleman in question has obtained a species of reputation not at all on- merited, as Mr. TALPOURD appears to us to write the most and the worst jokes of any professional penman of the theatres. Not that these jokes are bad on any score ...
