BnicritTox, OCT. 11.—The Marquis of Titchfield, and the
Countess of Dudley and Ward, are remaining with us. Lord
Petersham arrived yesterday ; and, this day, the Earl of Lis-
burne and Son, Mrs. Mellish, Lady H. Blaquier, and Miss
Swinbourne. Sir Arthur Legge is arrived at the Royal York

Colonel Martin, for town, left the Marine Hotel yesterday, and

CHELTENHAM, OCT. 11.—The Earl and Countess of Co-
ventry, Lady Augusta Cotton, Viscountess Duncannon, Mr.
Justice Littledale and Lady, &c. were among the persons of
distinction who thronged the promenade at the Montpellier
Spa this morning, from half-past eight till ten o clock. Alder-
man \Vood is among our last arrivals.—The Subscription
Hounds hunted yesterday, when there was some excellent sport ;
they started from Walden Hill.—The new road leading into
this town from the London road, to avoid Dowdswell Hill,
which has been the terror of travellers, was opened yesterday.—
Upwards of fifty pounds was collected on Friday at the Sher-
bourne Spa Room, at the Meeting of the Society for the Con-
version of Jews to Christianity.

RAMSGATE, OCT. 11.—The influx of company is, as usu al
gradual and almost undeviating, the arrivals exceeding the
departures; and this may be expected till the middle of No-
vember. Our near neighbour, Margate, exhibits in a reverse
ratio.—Nelson's Crescent takes the lead of every other spot.—
Chatham, Wellington, and Effingham Places, are also gay.
DOVER, OCT. 10.—His Grace the Archbishop of Canter-
bury still continues to honour this place with his presence. The
inhabitants of Dover are evidently much gratified with the pre-
sence of the Archbishop ; and instead of that pomp and splen-
dour which they expected would accompany such exalted rank,
they view with delight that beautiful simplicity that adorns his
whole establishment, and commands respect from all who
witness it.

Hts MAJESTY has had information from the Duke of Cum-
berland, assigning reasons for his delay in Paris; and a letter
on the subject has been forwarded to the Duke's apartments, St.
James's Palace, which were hastily got ready on Wednesday
last, the Duke being then expected ; but the Duke of Cumber-
land is now hourly expected in London from France. Colonel
Thornton, sent from Windsor by the King for such purpose, is
still waiting at the apartments to receive the Duke. His Royal
Highness is expected to bring a Prince of Prussia with him.
Mr. Secretary Canning has been some days on a 'visit to his
friend Mr. Ellis, at Seaford.
Mr. Huskisson, one of the English Ministers, is just arrived
at Paris.—(Conatitutionnel of Monday.)

The EXECUTION of CRIMINALS IN ROME, says
Dr. CLARKE, is carried on with a vast deal of
solemnity, and it is very rare indeed to see an
instance of what it called in England dying
hard. The most hardened villain, subdued by
long Continetnent, and the. natural supersti-
tion of the country, approaches death dispirited
and repentant. I remember, however, one in-
stance to the contrary. A bricklayer was,by some
means or other, cheated out of his property by a
priest and a lawer, the last of which was his rela-
tion. He made the usual application for justice,
which was followed, as usual, with no redress. For
some time he bore his misfortune with firmness, and
without complaint ; at length, however, the sense of
his injuries pressed so hard upon him that he became
desperate, and incensed almost to madness. In
this state of mind he went one day into the church
of St. Giacomo, in the Corso, when the riest
was officiating, and shot him dead at the altar.
He was apprehended, condemned, and led to
execution. Every means had been used to
prevail on him to confess lOs crime, and receive
absolution, but in vain. The fatal cord was
fastened to his neck ; the most celebrated friar
in Rome had been selected to attend him; the
last moment approached, when the friar once
more begged he would make confession of his
sin. " Upon one condition I will comply with
your request," said the undaunted criminal ;
" let me but have a slap at the lawyer, and then
I will confess both my sins at once."
Sunday last died Mrs. HANNan WANT, at
Ditchingham, in the 106th year of her age. She was born on
the 20th August, 1720, and throughout her long life enjoyed a
state of uninterrupted health, and retained her memory and per-
ception to the end with a clearness truly astonishing. Till the
day previous to her decease she was not confined to her bed;
and on the anniversary of her 105th birth-day entertained a
party of her relatives, who visited her to celebrate it. She lived
to see a numerous progeny to the fifth generation, and at her
death there were living—children, grand-children, great grand-
children, and great great grand-children, to the number of 121.
SMALL-PDX.-The Bury Gazette says, " We
have heard with astonishment that the Mayor of
Sudbury, one day last week, sent the public crier
round that town to caution and forbid its in-
habitants from having any communication with
Bury, in consequence of the small-pox being
so prevalent here. We are unwilling to cre-
dit this report; but feel rather inclined to
consider the whole an electioneering joke ; as,
several of the worthy freemen of Sudbury being
resident here, it may be supposed that this
bugbear will scare the new candidate, Mr.
Wilks, from making personal application.—
For whatever purpose the report may have
been spread, we can attest its being utterly
false, as, after the most minute inquiry, we
find that there are not, now, more than six or
seven cases of small-pox within the bounds of
this town ; and that there has not been one death
from that disease during the last three weeks._
We believe this is more than can be said for the
town of Sudbury, or for most towns in this or the
neighbouring counties,"
