PLACES OF FASHIONABLE RESORT.

SY.PT. 7.—Faehionable arrivals here centinue
to multiply. The display of fashion at Lucombe's Library last
night was the gayest of the season. Miss Ware sank; several
airs in charming style; her demeanour is unassuming, she
warbles with taste, and, without attempting too much, never
fails to excite interest with her auditors. Comic recitations are
sometimes given here by the Librarian, and with the happiest
effect; they have been frequently repeated, when not pre-
viously announced, at the espcial request of the !..cantes pre-
sent.—Lord Alvanley, who left us a few days ago for France,,
was expected to return last night. The Swift steam-yacht,
however, arrived, ae from Dieppe, without hint, but bringing
the information that his Lordship proposed re-crossing the
Channel in her on Monday. - • • • •
MARGATE, SEPT. 7.—This town for company, bustle, and
gaiety, may now be said to boast its meridian., The settled
state of the .weather has done wonders in producing this de-
sirable event. The steamers s,dl continue to wheel down and
credit us (for here I'must use a technical mercantile phrase)
with hundreds every day : the debit side, or those who leave
us, are by no means in proportion, so that 'the daily balance
still remains in favour of Margate.
WORTHING, SEP'r. 7.—The apparent termination of the
reign of the Watery Saint, has had, a corresponding effect upon
this place, and the last week ,has been marked by a Very con
siderahle influx of company, which has been daily (indeed
hourly) on the increase, and the town is now a scene sit eni-
mated gaiety. Parties unutterable are constantly ,on the wing
for the different places of attractive character in the vicinity
and the harveit fielde, which now present a busy scene, are,
also visited in all dint crone by grouper of elegant and fashion-
able visitants.
HaanowerarE was never known to be so full of com-
pany as at present. It is computed there are not less than 21n011
visitants there, including of course a great number of fashion-
ables. The approaching Grand Musical PestiVal, at York,
probably has tended to augment the population.
RYDE, SE in. linentss of the weather on Friday the
29th ult., attracted an immense concourse of people to the
Ryde Regatta;
.and the sailing-matches affartled much gratifi-
cation. During the last wherry-match it became calni, and a
rowing-match took place between 15 revenue gigs,, which excited
great interest, and contributed very much to the atnueeinents
of the. day. Saturday was less propitious, yet meny.yechta,
filled with beauty and fashion, were off the pier early in the
morning; and as there was a good breeze, the sailing-matches
afforded more real sport than the preceding day n The pilot
vessels being permit.ed to use their 'square-sails, gave great
interest to the scene, in allowing an opportunity lot the die-,
play of much activity in making and taking in sail. In con-
sequence of the calm on the first, day., one of the matches,
consisting of ten wherries, will sail on Monday the Bth
inst. at eleven o'clock, when several !lowing Matches are also
anticipated.—The Regatta 15a11 was attended by all the rank
and fashion now residing here, amounting to neatly 200 per-
sons, anions;et whom we noticed—Lord k. and Lady Gower,
' Sir IL and Lady Blackwood, Sir A. and Lady Dickson, Ad-
miral Sir G. and Lady Eyre, Lady Dyer and family, Lady
l3urrard and family, J. Fleming, lesq. M.P. and Lady, Vice-
Admiral Taylor alai family, General Pare, and family.—The
Theatre was crowded, and the exertions of the Thematic corps
kept pace with the patronage they had received front the Sub-
sctibers to the Regatta.
CoWES, SEPT. 6.—This delightful watering place continues
full to execs. We have to regret, however, the departure of
the Marquis and Marchioness of Anglesey and faintly, who
left us for the season on Tuesday last:
EIVNIMIIIIII, SEPT. 4.—Arrived at the Waterloo Hotel
• (Oman's) :—II is Serene Highness the Prince of Lippe and
• suite, and Major-General Sir Victor Von Arentsschild.

POUTSMOUTII, SneT. 6.—Yesterday the Annual Meeting
Of the Portsmouth and Portal' Philosophical Society was held
at the Lecture-rooma, Mr. Franklin }lnward in the Chair;
when a Report, highly gratifying to the Members and Friends
of the Society, was read, and ordered to he printed. A consi.
derable addition has been made to the Philosophical apparatus,
and to the Museum, yet, so encreasing are the Society's
finances, that the subscriptions proved fully equal to the ex-
penditure of the past year. The Members at present amount
