of her ate Majesty.
Leamington Spa still holds its attraction beyond any preced-
ing year. The influx of fashionable company is as consider-
able now as it has been at any period of the season. The
Duchess Dowager of Rutland is at the Blenheim Hotel, and
has given some elegant parties, which were attended by the first
rank and fashion.

TILE DUKE OF DEVONSIIIRE.—It is by no means certain
that his Grace intends to proceed to Chatsworth from Ireland.
Letters came to town on Monday, which give reason to sup_
pose that the Duke will proceed to the Continent. Instructions
arrived, on the above day, directing the domestic establishment
not to proceed to that splendid chateau with'the service of plate.
The orders, however, came too late; they were
.gone. Should
his. Grace proceed to the French metropolis, it is thought that
he will thence go to Verona.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of KENT has
graciously permitted the Temple of Fancy, Ramsgate, to be
designated the Royal Temple of Fancy, and her Royal rms to
be displayed in front of the same; which the Proprietor duly
appreciating the high honour conferred, is preparing to carry
into effect in the handsomest manner.

GRAND WHITE FAST OF THE JEWS.—This day
being one of the strictest days in the Hebrew religious persua-
sion, it is called the White Fast. It is'kept with much solem-
nity.' The Hebrews from all parts of England and the British
Isles, assemble in town, and repair at sunrise to their synagogues,
where they remain until sunset, and during the day they neither
eat nor drink. Those who are particularly strict in the ob-
servance of the Jewish rites, wear the shrouds in which they
intend to be buried. Even those who live on the meats
(forbidden by their great Lawgiver MosEs), during the
remainder of the year, abstain from them on this day,
and they meet the Congregation, in order to acknowledge
and atone for such sins. As soon as the stars appear, or the
evening closes in, the Hymn of Death is repeated three times
over in a loud voice, by the whole of the congregation, the.
High Priest, the Rev. Dr. HERSCIIELLi repeating it first.
The effect is extremely solemn.. The • whole of the congrega-
tion return immediately after the Hymn to break their fast, by
a sumptuous entertainment, consisting of all sorts of fish, tea,
coffee &c. Afterwards at about eleven or twelve o'clock an
excellent supper follows, consisting of vermicelli soup, fowls,
&c. &c. ; wines, &c. &c.—The followin,, week their Grand
'Tabernacle fete commences, which lasts eight days, during the
whole of which time the most extravagant entertainments are
given.—(Morning Paper.)

An— incident is said to have happened lately in
Edinburgh, which places in a prominent point of view the
highly-polished wit of our countrywomen. The story runs
thus :—A Lady, famed for her unrivalled beauty as well as for
her accomplishments, was walking alone, in an obscure street,
when three of those unmeaning things without sense or reason,
who make up for the want of intellect by the garnishing of the
body, i. e. three exquisite Dandies, were coming up the street
towards her, one of them stepped forward, and with that au-
dacity natural to his order, lifted up the Lady's veil, and ex-
claimed—" Painted, by Gon !" The Lady, although con-
fused by so rude an attack, had enough of presence of mind
to reply, " Yes, no otherwise painted than by GOD."—( Glas-
gow Chronicle. )

A woman belonging to Fife, whose husband
had a pension, took it into her •head,to visit the KING, while
at Dalkeith, in order to solicit his Majesty to continue it to her
after her husband's death. When she was admitted' o Dal-
keith House, she called for Lord IteisSlyn, with whom she was
acquainted : his Lordship was a good deal surprised, as might
be expected, at the sight of the matron, and accosted her with
" Well, Mrs. , what brotight :You here ?"—" I want
to see the King," replied she, "that I may ask him to con-
tinue my husband's pension after hiS death."—" The King
has nothing to do with it," replied his Lordship, " you
must apply to another quarter."—",Why then," says she, " it
does not matter whether he can do it or no, I maun see the
King since I came so far, and I winna rise off this seat till I
see him." On this his Lordship went out and brought his
Majesty into her presence, whom she thus addressed—" Please
your Majestyship, I ken very weel I should gang down on my
knees when I speak to you, but if I were ance down, I could
na get up again ; so your Majestyship mun please be content
wi' a curtsey." His Majesty then bowed to her in a very con-
descending manner, and she departed highly satisfied with the
result of her visit.

A Physician, the other day, called upon a pa-
tient, subject to frequent and severe attacks of the gout. The
painful visitant had left him, and he was enjoying himself over
his wine, with great conviviality. " Doctor?" he exclaimed, " I
am very glad to see you, you've just come in time to taste this
bottle of INladeira, it is the first of a pipe that is just broached."
" Ah," exclaimed the Doctor, "these pipes of Madeira will
never do, they are the cause of all your suffering." " Well
then," rejoined the other, " fill your glass, for now that we have
found out the cause, the sooner we get rid qf it the Letter.
When Rob Roy Macgregor was on his death-
bed, a gentleman, whom he had reason to consider as an enemy,
came to see him. On being requested to admit the visitor to
his bed-side, he said, " No enemy shall see Rob Roy in the
posture of defeat. Raise me up; put on my clothes, and buckle
on my arms, then admit him.., ' lle was obeyed ; the guest
was received with cold civility by the dying man, and in a short
time departed. " Now," said Rob Roy—" now help me to
bed and call in the piper." The piper appeared, Rob Roy
shook hands with him, and desired him to play " Cha tuile
mi tuileadgh," and not to cease while he continued to breathe.
He soon expired, with the " voice of war" pealing around
him.—(Scotch Paper.)
