Bracurox, MoNnai--A circumstance has just oc-
curred here, which has caused a good deal of conversatioa
in the fashionable and scandal-losing coteries of the town.
Mrs. Forbes, or rather Mrs. Forrest (for that is the name
she 4s now known by), the tamale friend and companion of
the late Mr. Fauntleroy, has been living in a house on the
New Steyne. On Saturday last, a solicitor, who occophs
the house adjoining (No. 23), put up in his parlour win
dow the following placard :—" Beware of the • house.
N 0.24-, New S:eyne ;" and to-day the occupants of the
latter have in then turn displayed one as follows:—"
public are reqirested to suspend their opinion of the MlS-
mous placard exhibited in the window of No. 25, next
door, as the writer will have to prove it in a Court of Jay-
lice." The New Sreyne has, in consequence, been the re-
sort of numerous gazers to-day, who are at a loss to dis-
cover the reason of the placards being continued, as it
is
understood that MN. F. had previously remond to al101he:
residence on the first appearance of the notice, and that sou
will in a day or two leave Brighton altogether.
CUTLEltV.—Niessrs. Sansom and Sons. of this place,
cutlers to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, have just
executed an order, for a table service of cutlery, received
a short time ago from their illustrious patron. The articles
are placed on six trays covered and inlaid with crinisca
velvet ; the whole of which are enclosed in a chest made of
heart of oak, having his Itlyal fliOness's Yorkshire crest
(the white rose, coronet, and garter) most beautifully
carved on the lid, with carved wreaths of oak at each cud
' for handles. By his Royal Highness's commands, his
Yorkshire crest is also moat exquisitely engraveri on the
knife handles, and has a very noble and ornamental effect.
From an inspection of the articles, we are induced to be-
lieve that they are among the finest specimens of taste and
workmanship ever produced in this country.—Slei,ld Iris.
Yesterday a Court of Di:-.'ctors was held at the East
