MARGATE, AUG. 11.

This scene 'of motley visitation bas hitherto been.
bat thinly attended ; but the tides of people begin
now to pont in'. Few large families have arrived,
and not many of the more bustling classes of life.
Broad Stairs *also haS bad few visitors, ,The
may be Said 'of -Rainigife, but we all expel a pros-
perous autumn. Plenty of lodgings may be bad at
present, very reasonable, but they may be expeCted
to rise as the company augnients. There has been
no great addition to our theatrical company since
Mr. and Mrs. KEMBLE left ust Yesterday the ex-
cellent Comedy of The Clanilestitp,Marriage. was
performed to a tolerable audience,. and vas altoge-
ther well supported. ,LOVEGROV, fro:n.. Bath;
Who is a very, good actor, and one of our
with
.at this place, performed Lord Ogleby with
great humour and effect. It is strange that so good a
performer has not attracted the discerning eyes of:the
London Managers. Mrs. TAYLOR, an actress_ that
well deserves a station on the London stage, was ex-
cellent in Mrs. Heidelberg. A young ',tidy wade
her first appearance in Fanny, but, was so timid it
is impossible to say what, she will prove. All.our
other places of amusement are well supplied with
every thing calculated to gratify the taste of our
London visitors, and we are by no means afraid, but
rather in hopes, of being eaten out of our houses and-
homes.

THE SWORD OF FREDERICK THE GREAT.

Our Readers have not forgotten the splendid Fes-
tival given at Paris, and the eloquent speech made
by PoRTALts, on the occasion of the sword of FRE:7
DERICK the GREAT being deposited in the Hotel des
Invalides. It has.since appeared that this Military
retie, like most of those of the Chrq-ch, is not ge-
nuine. Major-General VON HINRICHS has pub-
lished, in alespedable German Journal, a letter an-
thenticating this fad, of which the following is the
conchiSion .

"At the time of the solemn interment .of FRE.

As the Guard was relieved, 1 met him on the
square below the Palace. He talked about the "de-
parted hero : in the course of the conversation, he

laid his right hand upon my ,shoulder,‘ and, with

tears in • his eyes, said, " 1 have servedAlte old •!
