BATH, Nov. 19.—This " dull and beautiful city," as it
has been called, is now on the qui vibe. The season has com-
menced, and great numbers of fashionables have arrived. The
inimitable Charles Mathews has been quite " at home" at our
theatre to crowded houses. His " Trip to America" and
" Jonalian in England" have afforded " pretty considerable"
amusement. He is to play at Bristol on Monday next.—Mr.
Wilberforce now resides here, and visits the pump-room every
morning early; for the purpose of drinking the waters. He is
constantly attended by some of his family, and appears to be
very infirm and feeble---A new Corridor, or Arcade, from the
market place to Union-street, has recently been opened.
Though small, it is extremely neat, and is much frequented.—
There is the usual portion of scandal, &c. afloat here. One
story, which is generally believed to be correct, relates to a
gentleman in Northampton.street, who went the other night to
see Mathews, and on his return home found a gold watch on
the table in his wife's chamber; belonging to a gentleman who
quitted the.house just as the husband entered. The wife has
since been sent home to her friends.

On Saturday evening, soon after five o'clock, his Royal
Highness the Duke of Gloucester arrived in his travelling car-
riage and four at Gloucester House, Park-lane, from his Royal
Highness's visit to the Earl and Countess of Coventry, at their
seat, Crorne, Worcestershire. Shortly. after the arrival of the
Royal Duke, his Royal Highness went to dine with Mr. and
Mrs. A. Stanhope, at their House in Tilney-street, May-fair.—
Yesterday morning, the Royal Duke attended Divine Service,
at St. George's Church, Hauover_square. In the evening, his
Royal Highness dined with Sir George Warrender, at his
house in Whitehall-place.
The Chancel!or orthe Exchequer and Lady Sarah Robinson
are staying on a visit to the'Marquis and Marchioness of Sells-
bOry, at their seat, at Hatfield, Herts.
During the visit of his Royal Highness the Duke of Glou-
cester, at CroOm'e, the seat of the Earl of Coventry, the infant
daughter of the Honourable William Coventry was christened,
to whom his Royal Highness was graciously pleased to stand
sponsor. The infant was named Frederica Mary.
The indisposition of Mrs. Peel, the Lady of the Right Ho- •
nourable Secretary of State, arises from her-premature confine-
ment. Mrs. Peel, we are happy to say, is doing well.
The Hon. Sir Charles Paget is getting better, but he cannot
put his foot to the ground. The distinguished shooting-party
at Up Park, owing to Sir C. Paget's accident, is put to the
end of the month.--(Hampshire Telegraph.)

Loss oy TIIE COMET.--111 consequence of the
violence of the weather, it was found necessary yesterday morn-
ing to suspend the operations that were going on for lifting the
Comet, and to take the vessels employed for that purpose into
Gourock bay. The following, however, has been the result of
the operations, for some days past :
On Sunday she was moved nearer the shore • 15 feet.
Tuesday - . - - 18
Wednesday - - 50
Thursday - 60

In all • - - 143 feet.
In the place where she sunk, the water was 17 .fathoms deep ;
in the place she now is, it- is about 13 fathoms, so that she is
now about four fathoms nearer the surface. The weather, in
the latter part :of yesterday, became more moderate, and it
was intended, if it continued favourable,-to resume operations
this morning; but we understand nothing has since been
effeeted:—(Greenock Advertiser of Friday.)

The news of the arrival of the Chili dividend,
and announced on Saturday, has had the effect
of considerably raising the prices of the South
American. Securities.

'rho Buenos Ayres mail of Saturday is said to
have brought from Chile the stipulated sum for
the dividend on the Chile Loan negotiated in
London.

•
A conviction of rather a novel character has
taken place before the bench of Magistrates, at Gosport, the
law in which case does not appear to comport either with pro-
priety or equity; Major-General Sir James Lyon, K.C.B. our
Lieutenant-Governor, and Commander-in-Chief of the South
West District, was fined by the Bench of Magistrates, nam-
ed, under the authority of the ninetieth Clause in the Mu-
tiny Act, which levies a penalty of twenty shillings on " the
Commander" of soldiers, any of whom shall be found guilty
of an act of poaching; to which is added the liability of im-
mediate dismissal from the Army of the said " Commander
of the troops," should he refuse to pay the fines levied in 48
hours after conviction. Sir James Lyon, hard and absurd as the
case is, instantly paid two fines of 205.,--two soldiers of the
Gosport garrison having been detected in this unlawful prac-
tice. If this be the law, we may next week have to record
similar convictions against Sir James by Magistrates of the
county of Dorset, or even of the city of Bristol, for these places
are comprehended in his command !—(Hampshire Telegraph.)
EXPENSIVE NICETY !—lmportant.--A special
messenger arrived in this city the other day, after riding nearly
100 miles, at ten miles an hour speed, for the extraordinary
purpose of directing that two commas and a final E should be
omitted in an advertisement relative to a certain railroad !
(Chester Chronicle.)
Mr. HAWE3 is in Dublin, being engaged to

there, which had a very successful run at the
English Opera House last season.—Miss STE.

cipal characters,
