The season is unusually late, and a great number of the

Her Majesty the Queen Dowager patronizes a
fke and concert, to be held at Beulah Spa, on Wednesday
next, in aid of the Royal Freemasons' School for Female
Children, which we are informed will be honoured with
the presence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex
and a long list of the Nobility. Among the artistes en-
gaged for the occasion are the two Grisis, Rubini, and
Yiniburini; and in every respect the exertions of a very
numerous and influential board of stewards will be likely to
give the utmost gratification.

Lady Flota Hastings continues in an extremely
dangerous state of health. The considerate kindness and
attention shown by the Queen to Lady Flora must be ap-
preciated by the Hastings family, and must tend to alle-
viate, as far as is possible, the painful distress occasioned
by her Ladyship's severe illness. Nothing has been
omitted which could contribute to the quiet or comfort of
the invalid. Her Majesty has not only put off the grand
dinner which she proposed to give to the Queen-Dowager,
for fear that the carriages might disturb Lady Flora, but
has also of late commanded both the military and the
private bands of music to be discontinued for the same
reason. Apartments have been prepared for such members
of her Ladyship's family as might wish to attend upon her
by night or by day, and orders given that they might com-
mand refreshments at any hour. Her Majesty's kind fore-
sight has even led her to desire the Princess of Leiningen
to change her apartment, in order that her Highness's
children might not, when visiting her, disturb Lady Flora's
repose. We are happy to be able to state, upon autho-
rity, that these attentions are most gratefully felt and ac-
knowledged by the Lady whose sufferings they are intended
to alleviate.

Lord Hotharn has sent an address to the electors
of Leominster, in which he states that it is not his intention
to offer himself again.—Hereford Times.

It is said that Mr. Tomline, a gentleman of im-
mense wealth, intends to come forward in the event of
a dissolution for South Lincolnshire, in conjunction with
Christopher Turnor, Esq., who married the daughter of
the Earl of Winchilsea.—Morning Post.

Sir William Follett has gone to Brighton, ac-
companied by bis lady and family, with the intention of re-
siding there for some weeks for the benefit of the change of
air. Although not recovered from his late serious illness,
his health is mending.
On Monday Sir M. Wood and the Committee
of Metropolitan Improvements visited Chelsea, and in-
spected the intended line as far as Battersea Bridge.
Tower-street, extending from the church to the bridge,
will be removed ; there is to be part of the river taken in
to widen Cheyne-walk, and a carriage thoroughfare op-
posite the College in a line with Hospital-row.—Globe.
We learn from a Correspondent that the "Church-
wardens of Bungay Sc. Mary" have begun their Church-
rate war again. Instead of collecting the rate as usual
from those who like to pay, and giving the recusants time
to think of their ways, they have fairly taken the bull by
the horns, applied first of all to a Dissenter, and on his
refusal to pay, obtained a summons against him from the
justice, Mr. Butcher, by whom the rate was moved in vestry
three weeks ago.
A work of fiction will be published in a few
days, which cannot fail to excite a more than ordinary
decree of interest, from the circumstance of George 111.
sustaining a prominent part; in the development of the
narrative. The Novel is called " Hamilton King," and
it is from the pen of one who has already proved himself
to be a decided favourite with the public. His forth-
coming work involves a series of strongly-contrasted inci-
dents, by sea and land, in England and the West Indies,
and contains a great variety of character:, exhibited with
rare dramatic power, from many in the Court of George
111, to those in humble life, including pirates, negroes,
Yankee adventurers, Irish rebels, French refugees, &c.
In mystery and originality of plot, it will remind the
reader of Cooper's most successful works, while in the
drollery of many of its incidents it will recal the happiest
efforts of Hook and Marryat.
" THE FIRST OF JULY " (IRELAND.)—The
Dublin Evening Mail of Wednesday gravely asserts that
" Were then; one proof more decisive than another of the
evil tendency of Lord Normanby's Irish policy, it would
be found in the peace, harmony, and absence of excitement
or disturbance which characterised the proceedings of the
Ist of July 11"
SALMON FISIIING.---The rain with which we
have been visited almost unintermittingly durin7 the last
eight or ten days has had a highly beneficial eff,,et upon
the salmon fishing, which has been greatly improved dur-
ing that period, the take both of salmon and gilses hav-
ing been abundant.—Berwick Warder.
