TIIE SHERIFF OF NEWCASTLE'S DINNER.—The Dinnir
given on Trinity-Sunday, by the Sherilf of Newcastle, (Alfred
Hall, Esq.) at the Queen's Head Inn, to the Corporate Body,'

The Durham Chronicle has announced an ihtended visit, on
the part of his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, at Lamb-
ton-Hall, (the seat of J. G. Lambton, Esq. M.P.) towards the
middle of the approaching month of August. Tilis will be at
the period when the Summer-assizes are held; and no doubt
the presence of a member of the Royal Family in the North
will draw an extraordinary influx of company to the capital of
the palatinate, as it is but reasonable to suppose his Royal High-
ness will honour the assize-ball with his presence. It is hoped.
that a similar honour may bp extended to Newcastle-upon-
Tyne the week following7the assizes for Northumberland, and
that town and county, being then appointed to take place. -

THE PARK AND THE GARDENS.—Yesterday, owing to
the heat and the dust, the visitants flocked to Kensington
Gardens, wherein Fashion appeared in all its varied forms on no
occasion do we recollect such a muster of rank. It was at five
o'clock that the scene was at its zenith. The Long Walk and
the Terrace, displayed a most animating panorama : the Ladies
promenading in groups of sixes and sevens, with their attendant
beaux. In the costume white was the favourite colour for
dresses and pelisses, the first enriched with worked flounces in
lace ; the latter perfectly plain • waists rather long and very
taper. Small bonnets are now the rage, without ornament, for
neither ribbons, feathers, nor flowers, were worn. Silk boots
with silk pelisses, slippears, or shoes; high on the instep, and
pointed at the instep. In compliment to the weather coloured
dresses, shawls, and handkerchiefs were exploded. Nothing
now in equipages.

The Duke of Yonic is to lay the first stone of the bridge to
be built at Windsor. His Royal Highness on this occasion will
