LONDON AND PARISIAN FASHIONS llie only shawls at present worn in promen ade or carriage costume, are either ol China crape, or a soft and glossy kind of silk. They I,ace usually black ground*, with very large ata be-que patterns, in orange or rose colour. Starts of gau/.e or crape are almost universally Those of figured gauze, or mntescline de soie. are also exceedingly fashionable. The most beautiful have cashmere patterns. Small hearts ol black lace are very recherche Black lace tollai* are for Ihe most part lined with colored silk, unci finished round the throat by a colored ribbon, the ends of c>Uich are trill* •ned with black lace. The lung exploded fashion of wearing po< kots in the dresses lias rec ently been revived in Paris, under the imposing authority of Palnivre, Vtcto rnif and Mademoiselle Minelre. It seems strange that this lasluon should not have been earlier in troduced, smee leticules have been long proscrib ed from the tnonde elegant.

COMMERCIAL. ~ BALTIMORE MARKET—Sept. 7th. Hotoard street flour.— The market is with* out any perceptiblexchange since our laat report, and transactions are limited. Sales of moderate : parcels of superfine have been made from atorea I throughout the week, according to the quantity taken, and brand, at 86 12| a 6 25. The wa gon price is very generally 6, although in an occa sionally instance a load is received at a fraction less. A considerable portion of the receipts continues to fall short of the superfine standard, and isbranded “fine.” For this latter descrip tion there is but a very limited demaud, with pro portionate sales at 5 50. City Mills Flour.—Sales in the early part of the week at 6, on 60 days credit, and since at 6, interest added. On the latter terms the limited supplies sent from the null* are taken about as fast as received, leaving consequently no stock on hand. Owing to the continued drought, the aggregate produce of the mills is comparative ly lriflin«. Wheat.—The sales of good to very prime red wheat* have ranged throughout the week at S1,13 to 81,16 cents per bushel, and other sorts lower as in quality. We continue to quote the same rates to day, although to bring the highest named price the article inu«t be very prime indeed.— The better sorts of wheat are those chiefly wan ted at the present time of extreme low water at the mills. \\ e continue to quote white wheats at about 8M8 a 1,23 per bushel. Corn. — At the commencement of the week. sales of white Corn were made at b2 a b3 cents per bushel. Since then the supplies have been very scant, and prices appear to have advanced a shade. A sale of 2000 bushels good white, stor ed, was made yesterday at 63 cents. This morn ing a parcel of white, afloat, was sold at 64 cents On Wednesday a parcel of prime yellow was sold at 66cents, and to day another parcel of yellow at 67 cents. Rye—Sales at 60 cents. Oats.—Sales of parcels of good at 32 and 33 cents. In one or two instances some small lots brought a little more.

THE subscriber has at length obtained possession of the room that be baa so long wished to occupy— on the north side of Prince, between Wa-liington and St. Asaph streets—into which tu* has removed his School* and having procured competent assistance, he is prepared to receive an additional number of scholars. Since the recommencement of the exercises of his School, the Teacher has made a very important altera tion in his system of government. Having abolished the practice of coporeal inflictions, he has adopted me thods of restraint and confinement as the only mode of punishment fo be used in his School, exc« pt in eases of vicious violation of the most important rules of the Institution. - * That such a system may be successfully pursued the subscriber is already fully convinced! and its advanta ges are too palpably evident to need a rehearsal. It is only proper to say, that it is known, and universally admitted, that the use of the rod tends to harden the feelings, and destroy those natural sensibilities which children invariably po-aesa in a very eminent degree. Children may be mollified and punished by restraint. wi'hout degrading them in their own estimation! and by confinement they have an opportunity, forced upon them ws it were, fir meditation slid reflection Their Teacher has likewise an opportunity thus afforded him of reasoning with his delinquent pupils, and of present ing to him hi# delinquencies in their proper character. Ity corporeal punishments, feelings of fear and dread, and in many instances disgust, on the part of the echo lari auJ on the part of the Teacher, feelings of irrita bility and peevishness are often produced—feelings di ametrically incompatible with those w hich should al wavs subsist between a teacher and his scholars, end which should ever actuate them in their intercourse one with another. But by a system of rewards and pun ishments, which are in themselves of no value, a child may be taught tb pursue good for good's sake, with out being actuated by remunerative considerations, or by the debasing principle of fear. In this school the usual branches of an English edu cation are taught. Particular attention is paid to the manners and morals of the pupils: they are required to be punctual in their attendance it school, and to go immediately home liom school. T he Terms are moderate, and in 'making them so the subscriber would urge the necessity of punctuality on the part of his patrons so that his attention to his scholars may be cunstunt and undivided.
