The Duke of York passed through Lewes on Toesday
afternoon, on 'his way to Eastbourne, to dine with Lord
George Cavendish ; lie was loudly cheered by the populace
'opposite the Sessions House.
Goodwood Races, which commence on the 10th inst. are
expected to produce capital spirt. 'Fla! Duke of York has
signified his intention to be present, and will, (luring the
races, stay at the Duke of Richmond's seat, Goodwood
Park. Lord 'Eg,remont's Whalebone colt, which won the
Gold Cup so cleverly at Brighton, is entered for the Goal-
wood Stakes. The Cowdray Stake will also no doubt pro-
duce a good race between the Duke of Richtnond's Selec-
tion, and Lord Egrtmont's filly by Partisan. For the
Gold Cup are entered the Brownie, Dandizette, brother to
Black-and-all-Black, (who beat Frogmore at Brighton) El,
Dorado, Ganymede, and Prima Donna. The town of
Bognor has liberally given a Plate to be run for on the
third day.

proves very attractive.

The projected Athenaeum tend Oriental Garden gain
I ground daily in the estimation of the public. Shares to a
I large amount have been taken during the last few daye,
and we believe that the site is now finally determined on,
and that plans for the building tire in a state of forward-
ness. Thus Brighton is likely at last to possess a temple
of literature not inferior in point of attractions to any Esta-
blishment in the world, since it is hardly possible to con-
ceive the idea of a plan which embraces more advantages
than Will be combined in this institution. The splendour
and novelty of a glazed grove or garden, sufficiently capa-
cious to grow palms and other forest trees of eastern clinics,
in all their beauty of flower and foliage, cannot fail to reu-
der this part of the institution as attractive to the fashion-
able world as the literary department will be agreeable to
men of science. It has been the opinion of some, aid
among others of ourselves, that it would have been judi-
cious to separate the garden from the literary department,
but we find that the gat den is to form a principal character
of the Athenaeum, and. that it is intended to furnish the
grounds with arbours and seats for reading and conversa-
tion, as well as walks for exercise. If the combination of
the two projects prove successful we shall rejoice. Should
this magnificent plan be realized, it cannot fail of bend-lu-
ting the town, by attracting numerous families to our
shores, and which may go to an extent not yet anticipated
by its warmest promoters. We shall report its progress
from time to time.
The chapel in Union-street is to be re-opened on Wed.
nesday next. The rapidity with which the enlargement
has been carried on, auel the substantial n airier iu which
the building has been constructed and executed, are really
surprising. The place is certainly, as a chapel, unique,
and we conceive is upon a principle best calculated for
speaking and hearing. The whole. is a net, elegant, and
commodious structure, capable of bolding one thousand
persons, and is equally worthy, we should say, of the taste
of the ruchiteel, the industry and exertion of the builder,
and the spirit and energy by which it has been effected,
The morning preacher is to be the Rev. W. day, of Bath,
and the Rev. Dr. Collier in the evening. It is part of the
plan of this enlargement to appropriates considerable space
for tile aci:otomodation of visiters, and particularly fot the
poor. Thee eWs, we understand, arc almost all taken al-
ready. ongregation in Union-street was one of the
original Non-confermist churchea, being established soon
after the passing of the Act of Uniformity, in 1661. The
first building was erected in the memorable year of the Re-
volution, 1688, and two of the original walls are left stand-
' ing. Between 168 s and 1910, a period of 122 years, the
iplace underwent an external alteration, but it was then in-
creased to about double it size, and in the pewit alter.
' whop the enlargement is again doubled.
