ich is associated or made up with white,
e have seen some white clouded gros de
pies, lined with delicate green ; green
buns have, in the middle, a wreath cm
mimed in white. Some carriage hats are
emerald green gros dt-s Indes, or watered
is de Naples; they are trimmed with rib
is and feathers of a different shade ot
ien Velvet hats are trtill worn by many
guides; the most novel are those of green
vet. lined with granite satin, and orna
nted with a bouquet of short feathers,
f green ami hall granite.
W e have already seen in Cleaveland-row,
ie beautiful spring hats and bonnets of
ngeable Gros de Naples, rose color and
ite. **r blue and white ; there are also
ie of citron colored Gros de Naples,
;d with the same. These head dresses
e not only the merit of being novel,
y are likewise singularly elegant and be
ling.
'lead /)ress r s. —We still see several half
ss hats, composed of velvet; bu' those ot
’on, blue, lilac, and white Grog de Na-
I, are much more numerous. The crowns
he most novel hats are low, and, in
eral, they are ornamented more or less
h blond lace, or with ribbons disposed itt
peries; the brims are between the capote
I the hat shape, and very short at the
s Blond lace and feathers form the
timing of those hats that are corn
ed of velvet; others are decorated with
ions and white dowers, and several with
rettes.
IV iite gros de Naples, crapes, and gros
trie it, are the materials in favor with
ss hats. The brims are shallower than
al, but still verv wide. These hats are
jularly becoming Some are ornament
wi h a single long white feather, which
d iced under Hie brim, and fulls back
r it, O'hers have a wreath of short fea
rs round the crown,, so disposed as to ro
uble a chaperon. Many of these hats are
limed widi rose colored featheis. We
f e seen a few, but as yet a veiy few, orua
nted with wreaths of II >weis.
A singular, but very elegant looking hat,
Composed of white crape ; it has a round

A very i-legant turban is of blue gauze
anged upon a crown of tulle, embroidered
silver The riband is placed behind, the

The cauls of some blond caps are arrang

Black velvet hats are decidedly fa-hiona

French Singing. — The French songs of
e present day bear a great affi li'y to those
the troubadours in their subjects ; but
course, their language and mlodyare
odern. Some of them are distinguished
• a degree of aft - ctation not pleasing to a
titivated ear ; they are, however, light and
aceful in an eminent degree. In »he
eoch provinces music is not cultivated to
iv sjreat ex'ent. The theatres are very
difteren'ly supplied with performers a.d
e music is principally of the old school.
11 the triumphs of the art are confined to
e metropolis, woere the Conservatory aid
c Onera form some of the finest insMu
en-al performers in Europe. As singers,
e French never did, and pmbubly never
will, excel. Their national style, which is l
now supplanted in al' well educated circles

Fire. —On a careful examination of our
! files since the Ist January, 1830, aided by 1
’Jour own recollection and that of a gentle
|iniio connected with one of the Insurance
Offices, we are satisfied that the total a-1
’ mount of loss by fire in this ci y during
period mentioned, (nearly four months) does
: "«t exceed g>3o 000. The number of fires
has been about 25 most of which have been
extinguished wiih very little damage. Two 1
men have been burnt to death, and a third 1
badly injured.
Comparing the amount of loss with the
enormous sum of 8680,403. which was the
estimated loss between the 2 January and
31 December. 1828, nr even wiih the
8300 000 or 8400,000 destroyed in 1829,
jour ciizeus in general, and the Insurance
Offici rs in particular, have much reason to
congratulate themselves on this near ap
proximation to “ total abstinence.”
j Ihe amount of Insuiance capital in New
j York is ab m‘ g 8 000,000. If we suppose
one half the property destroyed to have
|been insur d, there will be 815 000 to be
divided among the Companies, as an offset
to die large amount of premiums secured
in (hi- city during the lust four mon hs. <
(One Company, we h.ipp -n to known, has
during this period been called on foi g 4 (

A s <he last silting ot tlie Academy of
Medicine, a remarkuult- case was communi
cated by doctor Olivier. A woman, a na
;tiveol Vil.ebory, depirtment of the Aude,
was delivered in l«s!9, of a male infant,
with the head ot an unusual length, and
i without eyes, in place of which was a con
.cave surface cover u by the eye-lids, the
edges of which were jmcied together. In
cases ol this nature, the brain is almost al
ways of a defective formation, fins child,
however, e- joys excellent heal h. At the
same silting, Doctor Lores presented to
, the Academy two human horns ! One of
them, resembling a ram’s born, had been
;detachcd from the right thigh of a man
gad 46 I. he sucond had grown on the
upper and hinder part of ihe left leg. The
bearer of these protuberances bad suflfjred
no inconvenience from them. It is worthy
of observation, that his grand father had for
a length of time a similar excrescence.
These horny productions are not so rate as
ihe total absence of eyes. In Dr. Dubd*’
hospital, an old woman was for a lon-' time
an inmate, who had on her forehead u horn
of a conical shape, the base of width was
abnu six or st-ven inches in diameter, and
the length about five. She died at die hos
pital ol Saint Louis but a col lured draw
ing ol the horn is preserved in the cabinet
of the school of medicine.
T'-t F- ench have some playful romantic
notions. Their female writers have <dven us
a proper idea of most of them, (J uTof their
practices on a nice occasion, and at a »ery
interesting period in a lady’s lile, is thus
given by one of them.
Let us no longer say that fi iendsliip is an
empty name ; we shall not be believed by
the newly married belles of Paris, each of
whom prides herself on showing her visitors
that «.he at least, has a number of friends.
No sooner is her nuptial day fixed, than she
asks every one of her bdles amis to contri
bute their portion to the monument which
she is about to rear to friendship. In plain
L glishshe takes from each lady a ringlet of
