WEYMOUTH, AUGUST 29.

His Rnyal Highness the Duke of Coulter
is not yet arrived, as was expeCtieB. The touts is
very full of company ; and, considering the great
loss of His MaJEST it's company this year, it rs as
gay as could be expeaed.
The arrivals are considerable, e.nd lodgings
scarce, the weather being now very lioe. lira.
VEY'S Auetion-Rooms are the favourite lounge
here, asd continue to be most numerously attendei ;
which, from the great spirit of the fair opposi-
tionists, who endeavour to outbid the fashionable
beaux, no donht turns to the great advantage of the
proprietor. The Theatricals meet good encourage-
ment, Wand generally have overflowing houses. The
NI asrta of the CESEMONIIe Roll took place last
evening, and was must numerously attended.

This excellently situated Sea-bathing Village is
increasing daily; its vicinity to the metropolis of
Scotland, being only about a mile and a half boa
that city, and its fine salt hot-baths, (probably the
first in the kingdom,) have rendered it the sewn of
all ranks. I'he rage for building summer cots ha
raised the price of ground, or rather sand, to from
4s. to es. per font in front. Its beach cannot be
surpassed, as the sand is firm, smooth, and not a
stone to be found for a mile in length. The inha-
bitants of this salubrious spot have their Ravi.
Theatre, &c. &c. and the valued ground-rent of
the Village is above 1,5001. per annum. Indeed,
the fine scenery and views from this place—of the
1 eastern enait, and thence into the wide expanse of
the German Ocean—of the south and eastern parts
(.1 Fife.hire—of the beautiful windings of the Firth
of Forth, and its variegated coast—of the shipping
continually passing and repassing—and on the
south, of the beautiful scenery of Salisbury Cries,
Arthur's Seat, &c. bids fair to render l'ortoSells.
one of the first and most fashionable I.Vaterinr
places in Great Britain ; more especially from its
being so contiguous to one of the most elegantly
built cities in Europe, when its extended buildings
are considered, and from Scotland becoming of late
so general a resort for tourists.
