CRELTEguAIt, A uo. lit—. The Duke of Wellington left
us yesterday, perfectly restored to health, after drinking the
waters at the Old %Veil for three weeks, under the direction of '
Dr. Coley. His Grace is looking uncommonly well. Geor-
giana House was taken for his Grace, but, finding it too small
tor his accommodation, Mr. Banyharo Jones, in the hand-
somest Manner, madcsan offer of his own mansion. in Cambray,
which was accepted by the Duke, who expressed himself much
pleased with his residence and ,Mr. h. Jones's attention--
The Duke was pleased to intimate to our Nlaster of the Cere-
monies that lie would patronise his summer ball, which
took place on the 11th; there was u brilliant display of
beauty and fashion ; about eight hundred persons were present.
—The Duke's trip to London is Much talked of here. Ile
was summoned to attend a Cabinet - Council, and left Chel-
tenham at four in the morning, after drinking the waters ;
arrived in town about one, where, after remaining a few
hours, he returned to Oxford to sleep, from whence lie
started in time to arrive at Cheltenham at ten the follow-
ing morning. I saw him immediately after his arrival, on
his way to the well, and should have thought, from his
appearance and quick step, he was only taking his usual morn-
ing walk. The Duke travelledin a cabriolet and pair. The
Duke of Gloucester arrived OQ the l',ith, and has the delightful
residence called Sunlit House, near- Thomson's Well. His
Royal Highness drinks at the Montpelier Pump Room.

'lids clay the End of Harrowbt and' the Ladies Ryder will
leave Bognor for Dover, where they will embark for Calais, on
their way to Geneva, where the nuptials between Lord Sandon
and Lady Prance* Stewart will take place. The reason of the,
marriage taking place at Geneva, is in consequence of the in-
disposition of the3lerchioness of Bute, the young lady's mother,
who is not able to come to England.--(iiidening Paper.)
Wednesday, the Gth Instant, being the anniversary of Lord
Hillsborough's birth-clay, who has now attained his eleventh
year, the Marquess of Downshiregave orders that refreshments

the merry scene, among whom were the 31arquis and Marchio-
ness of Downshire and Lord Hilleboreingli, Lord A. 11111, Lord
cllerawley, Colonel Ford, ate.
A new Club has recently been instituted here, called the
" (}lashrow King George the Fourth Royal Club," and yester-
day being the anniversary of his Majesty's landing in Scotland,
a dinner in commemoration of that event took phice in the Ar-
gyll Hotel, Mr. Fleming in the Chair. After several loyal and
appropriate toasts bad been drank with enthusiasm, one of the
original projectors of the Club rose and stated to the company,
that the Club bad had the high honour of receiving from his
Majesty a copy of the following Meet,. written by his own hand,
winch was given by his Majesty at the banquet m Edinburgh—
" The Chieftains and Clans, and God bless the Land of Cakes.-...
G. R." limit annunciation' was .received with loud cheering,
and the Royal Donor's health again drank with four times four.
The toast, elegantly framed by Mr. Finlay, his Majesty's Car-
ver and Gilder for Scotland, was handed round the company.
Numerous other parties dined on the same occasion.—( Glasgow

there is
no
reason tor censuring the um Company who supplied the gas
for Mr. Graham's balloon. The tact is, that the Company ati.,
pulated that no supply Should be given after five o'clock; hot
such was the porous nature of the balloon, that a great escape
of gas continually took place from the commencement ofthe
gas, tthiPen&itimtphanuAlliftbre rsab4ilibelle7 two"preilica

persona connected with the balloon reieniieil it, by unfastening
the cords. It appears that. more than double the necessary
quantity of gas was drawn from the works,
hare been the case had the balloon been composed of materials
capable of retaining gas.—(
DILAPIDATIONS AT AVIIITE CONDUIT-110 trsE._upon
inspection of the premises in the above gardens, we find the
dilapidation's- greater than we anticipated. Not only is the ex-
terual paling torn down to the length of I &U yards, but the rail-
ings which surrounded the detached shrubberies in the garden
are completely dembliShed ; arid the glass panes of the sum-
mer-house, to the number of upwards of: .150, are entirely
smashed. Trees were torn up by the roots, and ;lie damage'
done is estimated to be at least •2001--( /Mt)

TRANSLA TION OF THE 21 sT .OD.E, OF ANACREON.
Niobe, as Poets feign,-
Soothed with marble tears her pain ;:
On the swallow's rapid wing;
-Progne sought a Southern spring;
I each. varied shape would prove,
For the maiden whom I lover
Tuned to water, I would lave
All her beauties in my wave;
Or her faithful mirror be,
That she still might gaze on -me;
As a modest pearl would deck
The snowy beauties on her neck;
Or in ardent ruby's blaze
Raptured on her bosom gaze ;
In rich robes of gorgeous gold,
Now her slender waist enfold;
E'en her humble sandal, pressed,
- I should feel supremely blessed.

years ; and we may safely say, that in point of numbers,
beauty, and fashion, and stylish equipage, Pitchcroft never
presented a more brilliant and enlivening scene.
