WATERING PLACES.

crowded with company. The three large inns in

during the present week. been obliged to reject
several new arrivals. The other inns and the nume-
rous lodging-houses are alike crowded. To endea-
vour to give a list, therefore, of the whole company
at this place, would be a vain and useless attempt;
we have, however, subjoined the names of some of
the principal characters who now honour Buxton
with their presence:—

Elliott. Bart. Lord and Lady Dade and the lion. Mr. cud

kiegdons.

We read of several treats of harmony in Dublin
without noticing the name of ..Mr. PHILIpps in the
list of vocalists. Does Justice Midas preside at
all the harmonic entertainments of that city ?
Earl CRAVEN and family, in his beautiful yacht
the Louisa, have been several days last week at
Dartmouth enjoying the picturesque scenery of that
harbour and the River Dart. His Lordship's yacht
is 330 tons; and has on board, including family
sad attendants, eighty persons.
His MAJESTY'S presence in Ireland has certainly
had the effect of making the whole of the people
" United Irishmen."

Ott the intelligence of the death of the Queen
reaching Nottingham, • meeting of the bar took
place, at which an unanimous resolution was passed,
requesting Mr. DENMAN to retain ou the circuit
the precedency he enjoyed as Solicitor-Geuerul to
her M &MITI%
Foo•re being upon a visit at Lord TOWNS.
NIIND'S, at Ilsynhani, happened one morning to
look into the pig-sty, and saw .a silver spoon among
their victuals; one of the house-maids coming by, '
•ud perceiving Mr. FOOTE, cried out, so Plague on the
pigs, What a noise they make."—" Well they may,"
said FOOTS, " for they have but one silver spoon
between them."
The Duchess of DORSET and Lord WHITWORTH
have deducted 20 per cent. from the I•.t half-year's
receipts of rents, paid by their tenants near Strat-
ford-upon-A von.
Last week, at the village of Dodbrook, a curious
incident look place. A young widow, who has an
annuity of 101. per annum so long es she remains
unmarried, had it seams been wounded by one of
Cupid's arrows (which, after all our grave ones have
said, are fur from being fabulous things) ; but the
beloved swain, though not altogether a 'needling,
wished to secute the 101. a year, and hinted as
much to the fair one. She applied to those who
had the disposal of her happiness in their hands, to
know if it were possible to unite Love and Mammon;
but the cruel Fates had steeled their hearts, and
they gave their decision in the negative. Being
something of a Sappho in spirit, she instantly cut
her throat ; but nut having done it skilfully, is ex-
pected to recover.—( Exeter Gazelle.)
