THE BATHS OF HOMBURG.

A letter from the baths of Homburg of the 28:h
ult. says—" Our summer seasons has never been
more animated or brilliant than it is at present. Balls
and concerts succeed each oth-r every day, and the
aristocracy of every nation fl ick hither to partake in
the pleasures and amuiemvnts of the baths. The
opening of the new salons of the Casino took place
recently ; these two magnificent rooms, the work
of the celebrated Belgian architect, Cluysenear, are
much admired for their rare, elegance, for their spa-
cious extent, and for the luxury and sumptuousness
of their decorations. The Casino of Homburg has
nothing, to envy at any bathing establishment in Eu-
rope. It now appears to be the finest and the most
comfortable resort of fashion. The official list of
foreigners contains the names of more than 1,500 fa.-
rallies who have come to Homburg since the opening
of the season. Among the visitors of high distinction
we remark their Serene Highnesses the Duke and
Duches of Schleswig-Holgteln-Augustenbourg, with
the Princes Frederic and Christian, and the Princesses
Louise Auguste,
Caroline Amelia, and Henrietta,
their sons and daughters; his Serene Highness Prince
Ghika, from Bucharest ; his Excellency Prince de
Wittgenstein ;
the Marquis and M, archiones..: of Lon-
donderry, Earl Munster, and Earl of Morton ; the
Countess of Morton, with her family; the Hon. Sir
W. Melville and Str Augustus Vernon; the Duke and
Duchess de R zan ; the Countess Gourieff •
Baroness de Cetto (nee de Doux-punts); his Ex-
cellency the Count de Briey, Envoy of the King of
the Behiians to the Germanic Confederation ; Count
de Pourtale‘, Chamberlain of his Majesty the King
of Prussia, from Paris ; his Excellency President de
Muaset, of Wiesbaden ; the. Marchioness de San
Milan, from Mexico; his Excellency Count
de B-rnstorff, ex. Minister of Foreign Affairs,
and the Countess de Bernstorff, from Ber-

THE SEWERS COMMISSION AND THE
GOVERNmENT.

The last step taken in the Sewers
not a wise one. The moat eminent of tea Cum—

were on the point of resigning, we believe, on the occa-
sion of the refusal of Sir Charles Wood, the last C
of the Exchequer, to remove the technical :
culties to the borrowing of money, which prevented the
execution of the large drainage works for the metropolis'
of which the plans had been approved. The condition
Of things at that time was fully pointed out in the speech
of Lord Ebrington at the close of the lest session, on
the Sewers Bill, which we have before now quoted. The
Commissioners were then persuaded to remain in office.
On the accession of the new Government, some annoy-
ance was expressed at the mode in whioh the present
Sewers Bill was brought firward, without consideration
ti- the Commissioners' propositions. On the death of
r. Lewes we understand that the expression of a hope
