PLACES OF FASHIONABLE BESORT.

BRIG}IIOI77OCTOB 5.--The weather to-clay has
been cloudy, with showers at Intervals. Sir Godfrey iVeb-
Ster, Baronet, from Battle Abbey, arrived at the York
Hotel yesterday, and left it for Chichester this afternoon.
Lord and Lady Barham arrived at the York Hotel on
Thursday, and removed thence to a Titivate mansion, Preston.
house, on the following 'morning. The Earl ,of Lantlatf, in
greatly improved health, with his nephew, Captain Alatliew,
closed his sojourn, and left the Marine Hoterto return to town
on Friday. Mr. M. and Lady Mary Singleton, Mrs. Thorn-
ton, and a gay party from. Worthing, were here on Friday,
passed throeigh the magnificent rooms of the Nice, visited the
libraries, &c., but all returned to Worthing in the evening.--..
Worthing is losing much of its fashionable population for
winter residences here. Mr. Tierney, M.P. is continuing his
sojourn with us. Mr. Eartiley, and the lion. Miss Twissle-
ton, remain at the No-:011: Hotel.

a1...1104'1TE, OCT. s.—Yriclay. (the weather being very fine)
that favourite retreat, called the Garden of fit. Peter, proved of
uncommon attraction.—About two o'clock the wilderoesit was
crowded with gay vehicles; about 300 persons, principally from
Ramsgate. The excellent band struck up, at that hour, its en-
livening strains, in the Chinese Orchestra. As it is now the
fashion to be less fastidious, differcnrgroupes took possession_ of
the marquees, &e., wherein the tkjeune was set out This change
arose from the example sot by Prince Leopold, and the Royal
Party, on a late occasion., The scene remined us of Ranelagli
in its best days; for never was provision of a better kind pro-
vided; and it proved Mr. NewbOlt, the proprietor, to be an
excellent caterer; gunpowder tea, and niocha coffee, bread,
cream, and butter, super-excellent.—The platform was desert-
ed ; therefore there was no mazy Waltz or. facinating qua-
drille. . The juvenile aspirants among the fair were evidently
disappointed---mortified--at the want of gallantry among the
modern beaux. There were present among others, Count Tor-
reno, Colonel and Mrs. Stewart; Countess Mingden, Mr.
and Mrs. hadbroke, Mrs: and Miss Mitchell, •Mr. and Mrs.
Arkwright, Mr. and , Mrs. Baker, Sir Edward Hales Count
Laborde, Mr. and Miss Tirdelaine, Colonel and Mrs. Hale,
Capt. and Mrs.- Seymour, Capt. Richardson, Mr. and Mrs.
Hugh Tudor, Sir John and Lady Campbell, Major and Mrs.
Hammond, General Smith, Mrs. and Miss Hesketh, Mr. and
Mn.s Willoughby, DO), CAtriplizano. ea, party. Mrs. and the
Mises Davenport. Captain -Thencli, the Master of the Cere-
monies, was as attentive as usual. _ _

FiAI4.IIOWOATE.-A letter from this place says_" It is un-
derstood that the Earl of Harewood has, with his usual libera-
lity, given his consent to the buildini; of baths at ilarrowgate,
for the separate use of the poor, on, a piece of his Lordship's land.
This benevolent measure will therefore be immediately exe-
cuted, as soon as the funds are adequate to this charitable pur.
pose.--A few nights ago a robbery was committed at the.
Dragon, which has excited a great sensation. A lady's jewels,
valued at 801., were stolen, nobody could conjecture itow, till it
was recollected that two individuals, strangers, dressed like
gentlemen, had come over from York in the evening, and
merely stopped all night. Suspicion at present attaches to
these persons."

Earl of Errol; Harry Verelst, Esq. ; Thomas Burnet, Esq. ;
William Alexander, Esq. ; Sir Alexander Dun, 8art.:11.1..

at Berne, in Switzerland, at the English Ambassador's Chapel,
Lord Viscount Sandon, eldest son of the Earl of Harrowby, to
Lady Frances Stewart, only daughter of the hlarchioness of
Bute, and granddaughter of the late Mr. Conga. Upon this
happy occasion Mrs. Cows presented her grand daughter with
a present of 20001., and to Lord Sandon 1,0001. a-year.
The young Princess VICTortrA takes an airing daily in her
private carriage, with two female attendants, and continues to
walk in Kensington Gardens whenever the weather permits.
Her Royal Highness is a great favourite with the visitors there,
whose notice she always returns in the most courteous and en-
gaging manner. She also frequently accompanies the Duchess
of Kent in her visits to the Royal Faniily, &c. The infant
Princess looks remarkably well, and is a very lovely and pro-
mising child.

Mr. Owaw, who was one of the best Portrait
Painters of the present day, has long been suffer-
ing under so severe an indisposition as to pre.
elude all hope of his return to the profession of
which he was so great an ornament. Surely it
might be proper, as he is in a state of professional
death, for the 110-v Ar., ACADT.M Y to extend the
same relief to the family which would he allowed
his wife if she survives him. Ile was highly es.
teemed by all the Members, and• the general
Body have always been distinguished for libe-
rality towards their unfortunate Brethren. His
only son is a very promising youth, lie has
been educated for the Church, and we understand

The Duke of Yong's garden in Stable-yard is
to he enlarged by en addition from St. James's
Park. This garden contains some of the finest
fruit-trees in England.
Amongst the forthcoming candidates for the,
representation of the County of Lincoln, rumour
tnentions Sir WILLIAM A mcovrs INGILny, Bart.
of Ripley, Yorkshire, and of Kettlethorpe, in the
County of Lincoln. The worthy Baronet, it is
said, will be supported by a strong interest.
Miss PATON is now performing with great suc-
cess nt Edinburgh ; she needs not the support of
family connexions in that place, her own power-
ful talents being the best recommendation.
The Journal of Caen states, that on the 22d
ult. as M. de la PomsfEaAYE, Member of the
Chamber of Deputies, was returning front Caen
to his seat at Creuilly, accompanied by his Lady,
the horse which was drawing the cabriolet was
struck dead by the electric fluid. The indivi-
duals themselves were no further hurt, except ex.
periencing a very smart shock, as if from a Gal-
vanic batter,.

PO E T R Y.

ON MISAPPLIED BENEVOLENCE.
(From the Latin of Buchanan.)

With violets; fragrant herbs, let none presume
To crown tbe'summit of my lowly tomb;
Nor grace the spot where my remains are laid,
With the tall pyramid's majestic shade.

Rather let him, whose proferred love would claim
The festive honours of fair Friendship's name,
'While life remains each kind attention show,
And, ere too late, what Friendship asks bestow.

For when the shears of Fate have cleft in twain—
Embittering thought !—sweet Life's delusive chain,
I care not then, should thorns their blossoms shed
'Mid the rude ruins of my charnel-bed.

CLARA FISHER is hot the only instance of
venile precosity in the history of the English Stage. The act-
ing of children in adult eharactzis is of very ancient date.
SALATHIEL PAVY, a boy who died in his 13th year, was so
admirable an actor of old men, that BEN Jowsw,i, in his ele-
gant epitaph on him, says the rates thought him one, anti
therefore cut his thread of life. The subject of this beautiful
epitaph, which we here insert, actedin CYNTHIA'S Rivals, and
in the Poettat:r in 16011 and 1601, in which year he probably
died. The poet speaka of him with interest and affection, and
it cannot be doubted that he was ahoy of extraordinary talents.
" Weep with me, all you that read.
This little story
And know, for whom a tear you shed
Death's self is sorry.
'Twas a child that so did thrive
In grace anti feature, • -
As Heaven and Nature seent'd to strive
Which own'd the creature.
Years he number'd scarce thirteen
• When fates tnrn'd cruel,
Yet three fill'd zodiacs had he been
The stage's jewel
And did act, what now we moan,
Old men so duly;
As sooth, the PARCA thought him one,
Heplay'd so truly."
