the inhabitants yesterday ; a general sweepstakes

skill and science, and three hard run heats : Mr.

was much betting among the company. Mr. E a.
DES'S mare sheaved excellent sport, but she ran rusty
in the third heat. The day closed, as before, with
several sweepstakes, the last cf which was an ex-
ce!lent race.
The course to-day was uncommonly crowded,
and the immense numbers of lads and lasses from
the Wealds of Kent and Sussex chewed such a
display of beauty and health as few courses ever
could boast ot.

course ; among whom were, the Duchess of Bot.-
Toss, Viscountess Victim:a, Countess Moues. EDG-

SOUTHEND. Auct:sr C.

Though St. Swithin has not, since the ISth of
last month, ceased for a single day to shake his wet
jacket over this little region, the inhabitants are by
no means disposed to consider his attentions in this
way in the light of a benediaion. The continuance
of the wet weather has certainly been of great dis-
advantage to them, as well as of inconvenience to
the visitors, whom it debars of the pleasure of
promenading.
Lady HANttrosand her domestic party, as well
as her particular friends—tor, in the general sense of
the word, she has nine but friends in this place—
suffer least from this circumstance, as her Ladyship
has the happy facility of enlivening even the dullest
of scenes, and contrives to promote festivity, let the
elements be what they will. She had a private ball
a few niens, which, however, broke up pretty early.
Whatever di.egrensens may be incidental to this wea-
ther, it certainly is not inau..picious to the harmony
of sweet sounds; Lady Hamm-ma's melodious
voice, with instrumental accompaniments, is some-
times heard with rapture on the Terrace. Several
other svrens are dispersed amongst the different
houses, but, amongst them, nothing can he more
ascinating than the strains and corresponding her-
monk tones of the young and lively Miss DAC R As;
after hearing whom, an invalid was lately tempted to
exclaim involuntarily—
*, Sweet harroontst ! and beautiful as sweet
" And young as beauttful ! and gay as young !
" And inaucent a, gay '''
This young lady set off from this place yesterday
morning.
Lady Norrnwica remained here only two days,
and then set off for Margate.
The company here has, within these few day.,
been joined by Sir Titom AS Wissoti, Sir R. HAN..
KEY, and their families; Mr. laarrsoa, Mr. H.
LAWRENCE, Mrs. Wasroan, Mrs. Daisy, ste.
There are a Captain as well as two Lieutenants of
the Royal Navy stationed here, to superintend the
two Signal Houses on the East and West Cliffs.
All the beauty of Southend is in full exhibition
this day, owing to the extraordinary fineness of the
weather, which is 'veiled to ptoduce a number of
arrivals.
The Theatre was last night extremely well attend-
ed. One of the stage boxes was occupied by Mrs.
HOLT and family ; in the nest box shone Lady
Hawn...rot.. and her fair party; and the other
boxes also curtained a very elegant assemblage of
Ladies. The performances were The Hear es Lew,
with N. Song a* Supper. The parts of Dick D•ffleas
and Cicely were sustained with great spirit and
ability by Mr. and Mrs. TROTTER, who, to do them
justice, would be considered as very respeetable per-
formers at either of the London Houses. Tanya- re
himself, who is the chief Proprietor, as well as Ma-
nager and principal male performer, of this Theatre.
possesses a very fine figure. a voice of great c.tpacity,
and many other requisites, which he employs with
such judgment, variety, and vivacity. as makes it
strange that he has hitherto escaped the notice of the
London Managers. Dr. Pallglo,ll was represented
by a person of the name of Owes, and Lard Disberle
by another of the name of Toil cis ; who infused
into their respearre parts a very rich colouring of
drollery. The whole of the perfotmaaice was re-
ceived with very flattering applause, and, as there
are always a number of naval gentlemen present,
some allusions made i i the entertainment to the late
nasal via.-iry of Sir Roar ii CA LO/111 were, of
conrse, received with tumultuous exaltations. The
performances announced for to-morrow evening are
The Soldier's Demeter and The Sjalld Chill.

The Earl Wilton, Dowager Countess D'Altin„ Cady Smith,
