CAPTAIN PARRY'S FETE ON BOAItL the. lIECLA.
[rut:Timm PARTICULARS.]
Capt. Panior's Fete took place,
as our Readers are already
informed, on Tuesday. It was most Splendidly 'and name_
rously attended, and formed altogether a scene as novel as it
was interesting. At eleven o'clock in the morning the Com-
pany began to assemble, and the Naval Arsenal at Deptford
was crowded with the most splendid eqnipages. For the better
accommodation of so large a party, theSteatn.Packet and Phea-
sant bulk were, by an excellent arrangement, attached to the
two Discovery Ships by platforms, and the whole were covered
in, and most tastefully decorated with the rarest exotics. All
the boats of the Expedition were in regular attendance the
whole time; and such was the facility of access, that not the
slightest inconvenience was suffered by any one in reaching the
ship. The admirable band of the Royal Artillery was in attend-
ance. Dancing commenced on board the Hecht with a country
dance, opened by Captain Parry and Leidy Susan Elliot.—
Quadrilles and waltzes succeeded, and were kept up alter.
nately with the greatest spirit till a very late hour, while those
who did not join in this amusement received a great treat in the
delightful strains of Madame Pasta, Miss Goodall, and Miss
Paton. A Concert, under the direction of Sir George Smart, in
which Hawes, Lecte, 'l'errail, &C. joined, gave the highest sa-
tisfaction. Refreshments of every kind were served up between
decks on board the Heels, in Mr. Gunter's best style. His
usual taste and liberality did ample justice to the gallant Cap-
tain's hospitality. The appearance of the morning was very
unpropitious, but soon after noon the sun dispelled the early
clouds, and shone brilliantly the remainder of the day. As
the afternoon advanced, above five hundred Fashionables
had assembled, and the scene altogether was one of the most
enchanting imaginable. In the evening the vessels were illu-
minated with variegated lamps, and the whole party seemed
delighed with the unceasing attentions of their gallant host.
The recollection of this interesting scene, to which no descrip-
tion can do justice, who could not but be struck with the strong
contrast it offered to the perils and hardships, which, in all hu-
man probability, await this gallant Officer and his enterprising
companions. Among the company we noticed the following

BATH, Turin)Ay, MAY 4.
The late continued succession of brilliant entertainments has
left the fashionable, of Bath almost satiated. Visitors, how-
ever, continue to arrive. The Earl of Cavan and Lord Lowther
-came here this week. The principal topic of conversation is
the approaching grand Musical Festival, (in aid of the Bath
Oeneral Hospital) which will take place in June, on a scale
of magnificence iiitherto unparalleled. . Madame Catalani,
Mrs. Salmon, Mr. Braham, and other vocalists of the first
eminence are to assist.

The building of the Bath Literary and Scientific Institution
(on the scite of the Lower Iloonis)is fast advancing to its con-
summation. It is a handsome building of free-stone, and the
north side presents an appearance similar to that of its prede-
cessor. A new era will thus dawn upon Bath ; and this city;
so long notorious in the annals of fashion and gaiety, will claim
a station in the world for those arts which adorn and dignify
mankind. _ _ _

A new tragedy, entitled " The Parricide," is to come out at
the Bath Theatre in a few days. The author is said to be a
young man of some notoriety as a theatrical critic, and as a writer
of reviews in a provincial paper. The title is tragic enough,
but one may infer from it that the incidents are domestic. The
great dearth of talent in the tragic department of the drama
has long been lamented. The prose-poetry, undulating whip-
syllabub system has likewise received its due castigation from
John Lacey, of the London Magazine (whose Letters to the
Dramatists I have read with some pleasure), and who knows
(I speak doubtingly) but Bath may enlighten the Cockneys
on this subject ? I will inform you of the success of the
tragedy hereafter.
A meeting of the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge
was held at the Town Hall to-day—the Rev. Archdeacon
Mosey presiding. A most able and eloquent speech was deli-
vered by Sir Abraham Elton; and the numerous body of
Clergy (all of the Establishment) who attended, gave full proof
of their anxiety for the dissemination of the Gospel. It was
stated that the idea of sending out a Bishop to the Leeward
Islands was first suggested to the King's Government by this
Society.
To those who are acquainted with the local situation of Bath,
it may be interesting to know that meetings have been lately
held, to consider of the best means for preventing the floods
to which the lower part of it is subject by the overflowing of
the river Avon. A great many persons have addled their
brains about it ; they have thought much, but, as yet, have
evidently produced little to the purpose. An experienced
engineer is expected from London.
