(PROM OUR OWN CORRE!PONDENT.)
SYMPTOMS THAT SOMETHING IS BREWING.-Our
town is generally visited only by those in search of
health or pleasure, it is indeed the favourite resort of the
gayest of the gay ; but a change has come over the
scene—the Unicn Jack has been hoisted, and a rendez-
vous opened for seamen for the navy; a circumstance
not remembered here since the,old preslgang was in its
glory. War is the cry, and our old maids are in a ter-
rible fright, while the French frogs, who have so long
gulled John Bull, are preparing to make their lucky ;
the blue jackets aro in search of protections, and mem-
bers of the Squadron puzzled to know how they shall
man the yachts next season.
