true. Their Graces will return to town when they have
finished their tour.

of Arundel Castle are still progressing. Mitchell Grove,

• The Duchess di Cannizzaro has been entertaining
the Baron and Baroness Maltitz and a fashionable circle,
chiefly foreigners of distinction, at her villa at Wimbledon.
hi addition to her guests the Duchess invited several musical
professors, whose performances, together with those of several
amateurs of rank, formed a delightful addition to the enter-
tainments of the soirees. The Russian Charge d'Affaires, who
is a distinguished musical amateur, favoured the company with
several Russian songs, which were listened to with great cu-
riosity and interest.
TUNBRIDGE WELLS, SEPT. 30.—Their Royal
Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria,
attended by Lady Catherine Jenkinson, the Baroness Lebzen,
Sir John Conroy and suite, passed through here this morning,
about half-past 10 o'clock, from Buxsted-park, the seat of the
Earl of Liverpool, en route to Ramsgate. They remained at
Lady Conroy's, Wellington-place, about a quarter of an hour,
the space in front of the mansion being thronged with re-
sidents of all classes, who were anxious to manifest every mark
of respect towards the illustrious individuals who have so
thoroughly endeared themselves to the inhabitants. Their
Ro3al Highnesses looked remarkably well, and gracefully ac-
knowledged the respectful greeting offered to them„ This
place continues remarkably full of the very first description of
visitcrs, and, in addition to private concerts, we have had Mr.
Mori and party, Messrs. Bochsa, Ole Bull and party, and a
Signor Filippa, a pupil of Paganini. The concerts have beer,
well attended, particularly Bochsa's. Our theatre closed,
after a very short season, on the 22d instant, with Mr. W.
Dowton's benefit.
