FASHIONABLE PLACES OP RESORT.
BRIG lITOX, A aro. Commander.in-Chief returned
to the Pavilion, from Windsor, last night, at twenty minutes
after seven o'clock. Lord Alvanlev returned to the York Ho.
tel a short time previously, and had the honour of meeting and
dining with his Royal Highness at the Palace.—Our local
Catch and (flee Club, in celebration of his Majesty's Birth.
day, had a cheerful day on Ireland's Royal Gmends, on Tues-
day. After a pleasing succession of field diversions, upwards
of an hundred persons sat down to dinner at a long table, under
a carved awning of wood, on the garden side of the lawn, en-
tirely open to observation, and in front of which, but a few
yards distant from it, marquees had been pitched for the espe-
cial accommodation of the Ladies: the latter were interestingly
occupied, for youth, elegance, and beauty were in the magic
circle. Wines before and during the progreas of the dinner
were- proffered to the fair visitants, but which, as by one ac-
cord, were declined. Non Nebis Domiae having succeeded
to the removal of the table cloth, and a neat speech ftom the
Chairman, Mr. J. Grenville, in which he stated the object
of the fete, had been followed by bumpers to George IV. with
four times four, and the national anthem, verse and IV.,
with the band accompaniment, was' n progress, another at.
tempt was made to induce the Wks, by accepting refresh-
ments, to become more direct liarticipators in the cheerful
scene. A service so grateful, however, - could not be left for
the waiters to perform. Mr. Sheppard, * f the York Hotel,
therefore, Mr. Russell, the popular Manager of the Theatre,
Mr. Ridley, of North-street, and other Oentlemen, each bear.
ing a stand of glasses filled with the sparkling nectar of the
grape, presented themselves 'to the gay and smiling throng—
the moment was well chosen—the national anthem was an in-
ducement to toast the King's health net to be resisted, and
every female now was anxious to bear the glass to her lips, as
she !lad befiire appeared desirous of avaidinglt—this happy in-
cident, which so forcibly expressed the enuine sentiment and
Dies feeling of or fair country"n"----eo towards their Sovereign, gave
an additional and most grateful feature to the entertainment.—
The second toast was---•i The Duke of York and the Army,"
and the third, "'rime Duke of. Clarence and the Navy i" 'l;lees,
" How merrily we live," and' " The 'Wooden Walls," " The
Death of Nelson,"" The
Legacy," and " Whistle and come
to thee," were very finely sung by Mr. Limon, whose extraordi-
nary powers in the former surprised and pleased, antlis.hose
dulcet and rapid intonation in the latter delighted all present.
The Glee Singers distinguished themselves in the happiest
manner, and expressions of approbation were universally pre-
dominant. The evening set in fine,'and but few Ladies had re-
tired at the approach of twilight. Towards ten o'clock a Mont-
golfier balloon was launched, but which took fire 'ere it had
made much progress in the regions of air. A repetition of the
National Anthem soon after gave the final point and character
to the entertainment. In the town on Tuesday evening the
houses of his Majesty's tradesfolks were brilliantly illuminated;
and the domestics on the Royal establishment appeared to be
enjoying the occasion AMON; themselves ut the Palace. At the
Theatre, the national anthem was sung. by the corps eira-
maNgue, in which the auditory spontaneously joined ; and a
species of joyful commotion was visible in every street in the
place. Mrs. Paton had a quadrille party., at her house, in
Bloomsbury-place and various other private entertainments
contributed to the hilarity of the night.
TUNBRIDGE WEL Ls, A u o. 14.—For many years past this
delightful place has not been so fully attended us during the
tpresent season; and for the last two or three weeks
mantherelys
scarcely a house or lodging that has not been occupied, n
of them by families of distinguished rank. The weather, which
has been for so great a part of the summer cold and cheerless,
was very propitious for the Races ,• they commenced on Tues.
day. the 12th inst., and sonic of the heats on that and the fol.
lowing day were very well contested indeed. The subscriptions
to the Race Fund have been very liberal, and it lain contempla.
tion to improve and alter the course. On Tuesday the Annual
Race Ball took place at Nash's Rooms ; it was attended by most
of the rank and fashion in the place and neighbourhood, and
crowded to excess. Dancing commenced precisely at ten o'clock
with " I'll gang nar matt- to yin Town:" Miss Turton was
led off by our much respected steward, A. P. Clumberbatch,
Esq. Quadrilles followed and were kept up with great spirit
until after two o'clock, when the company, which amounted to
nearly three hundred, retired.—Altogether the present season'
has been usually gay and cheerful, and when we consider the
vicinity of this place to London, the extreme beauty of the
country, and the gradual and continued improvement in the
institutions of the place, we by. no means think that Tunbridge
Wells has seen its brightest days.

An elegant fete was given on Thursday by Mr. and Mrs.
Marryat, at their splendid villa at Wimbledon, at which most
of the neighbouring gentry, and many fashionables from Lon-
don, to the number of upwards of three hundred,were present.
After partaking of various amusements in the dell fitful grounds,
the company sat down at six o'clock to a tideune, which con.
sisted of every delicacy of the season, and the evening was con•
eluded by a ball and an elegant display of fireworks.

Marrtirws has, it seems, performed in the
farce of Monsieur Tonso'i in A merien, but not in
this country. He was so successful in represent.
lug the Frenchman, under his ludicrous persecu.
tion, as to excite the warm applause of the Anne.
dean critics, that it is probable he will be equalry
popular in this country.
Ra:flltomuloTgno:,llln a field
s.—itA sdiusart°eX on leurpYial lately been
made athe left bank of the
Lyanne, of three rows of tombs built in stone. In each has
been found some rusty armour, bones., a lachrimatory, and a
vase of earthenware. Amongst the relics of armour which have
been found, is a little Homan Eagle in a perfect state. some
small silver medals have alto Wen picked up in this field, bear.
ing on one side the head and naive of Oermanieus, and on
the other an antique ear drawn by four horses. This discover,
will no doubt be followed up, attentively by the local authori.
ties and the agricultural soeietY of Boulogne. Every thin ,
leads to the belief that these tombs are not the only !mesh, tilt:
place, and the three parallel lines which have come to light
prolong themselves. and contain a great number of them. The
enormous
size of the stones of which they are composed, and
thegret edxiptliecnuelettadof not eevbingn tliein, gives reason to believe that
so much incurred for common soldiers.
