ENGLISH WATER ING PLACES.

Within 20 miles of the ancient city of Norwich, and
on the most easterly part of the coast stands Lowestoft,
till within the last few years only a remote fishing vil-
lage, but now a flourishing seaport town carrying on an
extensive trade with the northern part of Europe. It
has been raised to its present eminence through the
spirit and enterprise of S. M. Peto, Esq., M.P. This
gentleman has spent a considerable fortune here, and
his liberality in all matters connected with the pro-
sperity and welfare of the place, is without parallel.
The Old Town forms the north point of Lowestoft, and
is divided from the New Town, or South Lowestoft, by
an extensive harbour. The rapid improvement
in the trade of Lowestoft has given the trades-
men of the Old Town an opportunity of rebuild-
ing their shops, and the principal street now pre-
sents a really modern and handsome appearance. The
new town, which has sprung up as if by magic, is situate
contiguous to the railway-station, and is approached by
a swing-bridge across the harbour. Visitors are struck
by the beauty of the scene which here presents itself,
and perhaps on no part of the English coast can the eye
rest upon a finer prospect. The houses are well arranged,
elegant in design, and admirably adapted for internal
comfort.

NAPOLEON.

The Marine-parade has a beautiful sea view in front,
and a fine extent of country is visible in the rear. The
Marine-villas, with their drives and garden plots, are
tastefully laid out, but the great_ attraction of the place
is the magnificent Esplanade,. allowed to be the finest
promenade on the eastern coast. From here you have
an extensive view of the German Ocean, and, perhaps,
in no part of England is there to be seen so many
ships passing and repassing at one time than at this
point. The piers are handsomely constructed, and
run a great distance into the sea. The Royal
Hotel is a fine building, capable of making up 80 beds.
It is conducted by Mr. S. Howett, upon the most
recherché principles, and is generally full of visitors dur-
ing the summer months. During the last year vast
improvements have been made for the further accommo-
dation of Visitors who flock to this delightful place, and
we hear many other improvements are projected, one of
which is a new terrace facing the sea, to be called the
Wellington Parade. Strangers visiting Lowestoft
should apply to Mr. W. Toogood, the principal
house agent, in order to meet with no disap-
pointment in comfortable accommodation. We were
recommended to apply to this gentleman for a
house, and feel happy to testify to his lively atten-
tion and kindness to visitors with whom he is con-
nected. With such accommodation, with such civility
and attention as we had the pleasure of meeting with
fiom all classes, our prediction is that Lowestoft will
become one of the most popular and fashionable water-
ing places on the English coast. The rides and drives
in the neighbourhood are beautiful in the extreme, and
the air and salubrity of the place have been only lately
discovered to be very beneficial to the majority of con-
stitutions.

BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, SEPT. 19.
The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of

of a dispatch from her Majesty's Minister at Berlin, in-
closing a translation of a notice published by the Prussian
Government suspending, until the close of the present
year, the duties on the importation of certain specified
sorts of grain. —By order, J. EMERSON TENNENT.
(Copy.—Translation.)
According to an agreement made by the States of the
Zoll Vercin, the King has authorised that the levying of
the import duty on corn, codded grain of all sorts, flour,
bruised and shelled grain, peeled barley, groats, and
bruised or peeled corn, shall he suspended from the 15th
instant to the end of the year 1853. This is hereby made
known to the public, and notice is also given that the cus-
tom and revenue authorities have been provided with in-
ttructions regarding the suspension of the duty.

NOTIF I CATION.
With reference to the notification which appeared in the
Gazette of the 23d ult., that a convention had been con-
cluded between her Majesty and the United States of
America, for the settlement of all outstanding claims by
means of a mixed commission, and that commissioners
Were about to meet for the purpose of carrying out the
stipulations of such convention;
Notice is hereby given, that the commissioners held
their first meeting on the 15th inst., and that all persons,
subjects of her Majesty, who may have claims to prefer
npon the Government of the United States, arising out of
transactions of a date subsequent to the 24th of December,
1814, and prior to the 2Gth of July, 1853 (the date of the
exchange for the ratification of the convention) should
forthwith transmit the particulars of the same to her Ma-
jesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
together with the requisite evidence or information in
support thereof, for the purpose of being submitted to the
commissioners.
Notice is also hereby given, that in conformity with
the following stipulation of the third Article of the Con-
vention :
" Every claim shall be presented to the Commissioners
within six months from the day of their first meeting, un-
less in any case where reasons for delay shall be established
to the satisfaction of the Commissioners, or of the arbitra-
tor or umpire in the event of the Commissioners differing
in opinion thereupon; and then and in any such case the
period for presenting the claim may be extended to any
time not exceeding three months longer."
Every claim which may not be presented to the Com-
missioners before the 15th March, 1854, will be inadmissi-
ble, unless reasons for delay be established to the satisfaction
of the Commissioners, or of the arbitrator or umpire ; and
that every claim which shall not be presented to
the Commissioners before the 15th of June, 1854, will, in
conformity with the fifth Article of the Convention, be
considered and treated as finally settled, and thenceforth
inadmissible.
Foreign-office, Sept. 19.

We advise our fellow pleasure seekers to take a trip
to this fashionable spot, and we believe that our remarks
will be fully confirmed.

A VISITOR.

THE NORTHERN MEETINGS.

These meetings were held at Inverness on Thursday
and Friday. Theyconsist of an annual assemblage of the
nobility and gentry resident in the Highlands of Scot-
land at this season of the year, and, while they afford
opportunity for fashionable reunions, they have chiefly
in view the encouragement of Highland sports and ath-
letic games.
The great gathering came off in the Academy Park.
A. portion of the lawn was railed in for the competitors,
and a grand stand was erected for the nobility and their
friends. Formerly the public were admitted free of
charge, but this year ls. had to be paid for admission,
the effect of which was to limit the number of spectators
greatly, and thus to divest the games of the popular in-
terest which used to attach to them.

The attendance of the aristocracy, however, was very
large, and among those present were Lord Lovat, Lord-
Lieutenant of the county, and Lady Lovat, the Earl
and Countess of Hardwicke, Earl and Countess Talbot,
the Earl of Annesley, Viscountess Dupplin, Viscount
Hamilton, Lord Claud Hamilton, Viscount Chelsea, the
Countess of Waldegrave, Sir John and Lady Harrington,
Lady Elizabeth Yorke, Sir Thomas and Lady Louisa
Moncrieff, Lady J. Parry, Sir Kenneth Mackenzie,
Lady Grey Egerton, Major Leith Genkendie, Sir Henry
Meux, &c., with family parties. The amusements of
the day commenced with some of the simple games, and
then there was a keen competition for the prizes offered
for the best playing on the bagpipes. Nine competitors
entered for the trial of the pibroch music, and in the opi-
nion of the most competent judges displayed the highest
proficiency in this department of bagpipe music. The
first prize, a splendid set of bagpipes, was gained by
William Ross, a piper of the 42d Regiment; the second, a
valuable silver brooch, by Angus M‘Millan, piper to
Cluny; and the third, a Highland snuff-mull, by Kenneth
APlVlillan. The same candidates were successful in the
strathspeys and marches. The games consisted of the
usual routine of " putting " the stale, throwing the
hammer, and tossing the caber. The heavy hammer
of 1616 was thrown 93 feet by John Tait, from Ayrshire,
who thus gained the first prize ; and the light hammer
of 121 b., was thrown 106 feet, by Donald Fraser, game-
keeper, of Killin. John Tait at the first throw sent
the putting stone of 21116. 37 feet, on seeing which the
other competitors at once withdrew. it was rather a
mortification to the stalwart Highlanders to be thus dis-
tanced by a firm knit and well-built, but nowise formi-
dable-looking Saxon, and this, we believe, is the first
time that the first prizes have gone so far south. The
sports of Friday were of a more lively character and
went off with much éclat. They consisted of dances,
lighter games, and were characterised by great spirit. In
ti.ha elate evening;
