MAIDSTONE, JULY 12.—Most of the grounds in this neighbourhood have gUt considerably foulel• within the last few days ;. about Far leigh they complain much of the shortness of bine, and the total failure of many of the hills. — The accounts from Ttrihridge and Hadlow .state that the grounds about there present a healthy appearance,. and are tolerably clean ; the Wealds of Kent and Sussex are also tolerably good.

THE COMET.—Thaing the three last evenings, this celestial traveller has made great progress in its course, which is now determined to be from N.N.W. to S.S.E. It lias.aseended within a few degrees of the elevation of the Great Bear, which it has considerably apprOt . imattd, - though it still leaves that constellation on its rig lit. 11 it continnes in its present path, it will ire a few Mays have nearly reacherlthe'same position in the Eletiveos as the celebrated. Comet of 1811. It is now far removed from the horizon and approach ing our zenith. At half-past twelve o'clock last, night it looked beautiful. .The whole sky %vas onclonded, and . thoogh, in the absence of the moon, all •the stars emitted their brightest lustre, the Comet moved with superior glory among them all, " apparent queen," with its tiara of light. The tail, which was decidedly inclined towards the East when we list observed it, is now once more thrown with a graceful sweep to the West. It spreads'out like a fan at its extremity, and seems to have regained a length of from 6 to io degrees. Tine nucleus also shines with, almost all its of iginal brilliancy. • Yesterday - afternoon a Coroner's Turinest was held, at the %Weaver's Antis, Brown's•lane, on the body of a child, wino met its death by tolling out of flour.waggon on Saturday last. Verdict— " Accidental D4:0;b.".. P 0 E T It Y. NUPTIAL REPARTEE. • CHAIMEs to the Altar led the lovely 3ANg, And to her fitlier':i door return'd again, Where (to Co;lvey tliem on their wedding tour) Already stood a neat barouche acid four. But lo! the gatkiing show'rs at once descend, Clouds roll on cloudy, and warring winds contend; This mores not him, hilt in he hands his bride, Then seats himself, enraptiit'd, by her side; And now, to cheer the fair, lie thus begun: " I hope we soon shall have a attic sou." But she to whom the weather gAte no pain, Who shrunk not from the wind, nor felt the rain, • And, fill'd with future hopes, of them bethought her, Replied, " My dear, id rather have a daaghter." FRENCn ENGLISII.-Melt who habitilkily speak French, write strange English verses. The finest specimen of French English we know of is the following inscription, placed by M. GIRARDIN, at Ermenonville, to the memory of Shenstoue : This plain stone, To William Shenstone. , In his writiop he display'd, A mind natural. At Leasoweshe lyiii Arcadian scents rural.

Their Royal Ilighnes.,es the D►►ke and Duchess Of CLARENCIC lett Meiningen on the 15th ult., and are now established at the Baths of Liebenstein, where, we understand, her Royal Ilighness wi:l remain to enjoy the tepid' bath for a mow it or two. The mineral waters of Liebenstein are be coming very celebrated in Germany, ►:utl are, we understand, frequented by invalids front all parts of the Continent, and even from Russia and Po land. They are particularly recommended in ner vous and hypochondriac. complaints, and gene rally in all cases of debility. They are a strong chalybeate, with a great proportion of alkali and magnesia salts. The village of Liebenstein is in the Duchy of Saxe Meiningen, and is remarkable for its romantic and varied scenery of hill and dale. It stands upon the bordets of that part of the ancient Ifyichiiit, which is now known as the Thuringen Wald.' The soil is sandy and dry, and the climate very mild, eircuuntances which must greatly assist the virtues of the mineral spring. LADY HEATHCOTCS BAI L.—A very magnificent 13 , 11 was given by this distinguished leader in the Fashionable World on Monday night. '1 he mansion . , in Grosvenor-square, was illuminated' throughout, particularly the four drawi:ig-, rooms, hie!' were more than,usnally resplendent. Dicing commenced at half-past eleven o'clock in the ball-room. This noble apartment, with all its sculpture and gilding, appeared to much advanta g e. The floor was ornamented with paint lugs in water. colours; the centre of each circle exhibited she Prince of iVales's pinme, surrounded by fleurs de Ns, thus displaying an elegant comph ment to ti,e two loyal Houses. Soon after the performance of the first quadrille arrived the PRINCE REGENT and ,the Prince of \ SAXE ()O DOUR°, with their suits.
