ST. LEONARD'S.

Among the many things of the day that occasion sur-
prise, few are more likely to excite that feeling than the
sudden appearance of the new town of St. Leonard's, on
the Sussex coast, little more than a mile west of Hastings,
which, though not commenced above two years, already
affords accommodatita far superior to many that have long
held a prAninent station among our fashionable places of
r,sort. St. Leonard's, built on a regular plan, already
presents a splendid facade of holdings, exceeding half a
mile in length, with an admirable parade fronting the sea,
hotels with superior accommodation, that of "St. Leonard's'
even of magnificent structure, shops, baths, libraries, ass
sembly-rooms, with all the attendant conveniences ; and
above all, a numerous and highly respectable society, where
the charms of social intercourse are enjoyed in a degree
equalled by few other places. The festivities of the present
season have been kept up with more than usual spirit, and
on Tuesday la 4 the bachelors gave a splendid ball to the
ladies, which was attended by upwards of two hundred
persons, including all the principal residents, many of
the leading families from flamingo, and the neighbouring
country, sad a numerous party of the Officers of the
Guards, at present on duty at Brighton ; the supper Was
served in the billiard rooms, by Bunsow, of St. Leonard's
'lute', in his best style ; quadrilles, waltzes, cotillons, and
galloppades, were kept up till five in the morning, and
previous to the departure of the company the gallantry of
their entertainers provided a second supper, or dejeuni,
for ladies.

To those who only two years since recollect the site of
St. Leonard's, a lone cliff on the coast, the present town
on a first view seems to have arisen by some mugic in-
fluence. The tout ensemble reflects infinite credit on the
judgment, taste, and enterprise of the founder, while the
peculiar salubrity of the situation, combined with its other
advantages, leave no doubt St. Leonard's will become, or
rather continue, a favourite place of resort in the Winter
as well as shy Summtr season.

ACTIVITY...--Lord BROUGHAM sat in the
Gina of Chancery on Thursday morning, at nine o'clock,
he remained till four, when he went to the House of
Lords, where he stopped until six o'clock, and at seven he
was on his road to Westmoreland,

Lord TENTERDEN has withdrawn his name
from the Select Vestry of St. Giles in the Fields and St.
George, Bloomsbury.

Some interest is excited in the City as to the
state of the Revenue, this Quarter now approaching to
close. The general understanding among mercantile men
is, that there will be a considerable deficiency, but not so
large as some reports circulated within the list week have
stated it to be. Judging from what we hear, in the
Excise and Customs' Departments, we should think it
probable that the de•faciein) does not exceed 800,00 W.,
and, if so, the official return will not operate prejudicially
on the public securities..--Morning chronicle.

A. very itnportant point which the moneyed
interest are most I lesivms of ascertaining, and to which
their attention is more especially directed, is, whether
Ministers will or will not submit a measure to Parliament,
after the recess, for the funding of Exchequer Bills.

Mr. 'JEFFREY, the new Lord Advocate, has
become a candidate for the Cupir district of burghs, and
has already made sure of Perth and St. Andrew's. Dun-
dee would also support him were its vote good ; but this is
rather a delicate question, and from all we can learn the
main struggle will lie in Cupar.—Dumfries Courier.

Among the more personal causes always
mixed up with public ones, which led to the movement iu
Poland, we may mention the cruelty of the Grand Duke
to a poor woman who stood in the way of his troops at a
review last year, whom he beat with his own hands,
This brutality, one of many, sunk deep into the minds of
the people of Warsaw. Ilia rudeness, and the Emperor's
coldness to the Senate at the coronation, together with his
insisting on crowning himself, disgusted the nobles.-.that
is, the whole gentry.
