, Our 'fashionable visitots began to,drop oT so fdst
that the inhabitants Were afraid they shiml.l have
but an indifferent season, but wo have receutly re-.
ceived such iibundant reinforcanents that they are
now again, in' high spirits. But what has part icu-
larly- enlivened the residentsof this agreeable. place is,,
the contradi6tion of the report that the Prince was
- about to dispose of the Pavilion. On ,t he contrary,
recent purchases have been made, which show that
the place is4o redeive further additions and improve-
ments, and hence it is concluded that it 'Will render
the place still more attrataive next season.
Lord CRAVIiN and his beautiful Partner. are stilt
here, and. they add much to the pleasures of the
place. Her, affability, good sense, inct dignified
modesty, are the theme of universal esteem and ad-
_ Miration, and every body rejoices -that she has-been
raised to a situation which she is so well fitted to

adorn. •
The MARLBOROUGH family Mingle in the fashion-
able entertaintnents more than usual. Our Theatre
s well attended. BRUNTON is, adtive, industrious,
and liberal. CHARLES KEMBLE and his sprightly
wife, have been much admired, and it is hoped that
they will betempted to stay here ,longer than they
intended.
The weather has been uncommonly fine, and con-
sequently all the world is every day abt oad. Indeed
we have people of all sorts here now, and Brighton
may now, in its motelrgroups, rival Margate,-and
give scope to the 'powers of the caricaturist. By. the
bye, we have an artist, here. who comes down for the
express purpose of giving a Pit-lure of the Steine, but
he is so sly, that hardly any body would have been
, apprized of his intentions, if a .sketch of a certain,
antiqUated Coquette of high life, whose figure ig_not
much calculated for graceful movement, had not been
found, and unveiled the artist's intentions.
We were informed that the Prince does not return
till Oaober, but we have been assured by persons
upon whom we rely, that he will cat:lndy, animate
' our circles very soon ►n the next mouth, if not be-
fore.

The Edinburgh Theatre closes on the fifth of next
month for the season. it is probable that Mr.
Roc will resume the management, as he is popular
as an aarir, and Vis shown great liberality in en-
.gaging the hest Performers that could be obtained in
other places. ELLISTON has been very attractive
and very 'industrious, as he has played every night
some of his most bustling characters..

•• • It is well for Mrs. DfCIiONS that she treaay pos-
seSses sterling merit as a singer,_ eKe she might be
brought into ridicule by those outrageous accounts
of her success in Ireland which appear in some of our
public Prints: A.fair tribute to merit is always gra-
tifying to its friends,' but such le-plaistering pane-
gyric excites nothing but disgust.
Miss DUNCAN is engaged to perform at York
daring the Races. She is to commence her opera-
tions to-night as Lcetilia..Hardy, in The _Belle's
Stratagem. EMERY had crowded houses every night
in that city dining the ASsize week, and Coottz fol-

. .
lowe,fl him with equal success.
• Mrs: SrnpuNs is still upon a visit to Lord and Lady
HAacoußTi It is highly probable that the public
will .ti.o more be gr.atifred by the exertions of this un-

rivalled aft.tss.
-YOUNG isso good an a&or, that his talentS may
alw,ays.be employed witii advantage ; but as KENIEtE,
,C. X.ESIBLE, and COOKE are at , Covent-
garden Theatre, it is difficult to conceive what cha-
raaers will be left for, him, • with all his merits.
Mr. SHERIDAN, jun.. it; is said, has commenced
his arrangements as. Manager of Drury-Lane Thea-
tre, by engaging MisS SNIITH • for that Theatre.—
Report, however, says, that she has renewed her ar-
ticles with the Covent-Gqrden 'Manager, who had
the merit of ,first introducing her on the LondOn

boards.
BANNISTER, whose motto should be Hie, et ulfique,
is now at Cheiter with his Budget, which, accord-
ing to his Bill of Fare, ,was provided for hiM by
Messrs: ,COLMAN, DIEDIN, T. and C. DtantN,
REYNOLDS, and other wits. He means to visit other
places during the summer recess, and will probably
come home with his Budget full of gold.

PARSONS GREEN FAlR.—This rural annual Fair
commenced on Wednesday, amidst' a 'numerous i.
assemblage of genteel visitants residing , in the above
neighbourhood. The.tents and stalls pitched on the
green exhibited a very pi#uresque appearance.--;
Richardson, the emperor of pageantry, ereEted a most
magnificent Theatre, -and his. Sock and Buskin
heroes represented a. grand Melo-Drama, Classically
denominated Atnor Patria." The plot andcatas-
trophe of the piece did, not detain the audience more
than ten minutes, but -in that short space•of time
the Dranzatis.Persnnie contrived to bring the DeOf
and BUONAPARTE in . Close alliance. The Corsican
and his infernal banditti then 'commenced an attack
upon the Spaniards, with intent to rob' them of free-
dotn, and to deluge their fields Avith innocent blood.
The 'objeds of the tyrant's cruelty and ambition,
roused by the generous impulse of patriotism, were
seen in close union, animated by a vialiant determi-
nation to die. or save their country. Previous to
battle, the. Spaniards were joined by the Goddess.
Liberty, whose honouraole front tnaile the tyrant
and his troops tremble.—ln the glorious strugglei!
Victory crowned the Patriot Army with 'blooming
laurels; the French "were defeated, and iluonaparte,
overcome by shame, disgrace and crimes, was COM..
pelled.to bide his, diminished bead in the bosom 'of
his diabolical friend, who finally bore him away to
the pits of Erebus. The performance and catastro,'
phe, so congenial with the sentiments of every Bri—
ton, r:ceiv.ed. loud plaudits from the spectators, who
reLirtA highly satisfied. The sports and festivities
of the Fair were continued yesterday with undimi-
bished eclat, and a more pleasing scene has,seldona
been exhibited. ,
