FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

The Countess of Darnley and family arrived at
Beach Villa on Monday, and the Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Ailesbury at Norfolk House this day. The
Earl of Glengall is expected at Harriet Lodge to-
morrow. The Duke of Cambridge has taken Gothic
Hall from Wednesday next ; Captain Freemantle;
South Parade House ; the Duchess of Kent is expected
at Powleaze House on the 10th. The town is still very
far from full ; indeed, many of the best houses are still
unlet, more, perhaps, than was ever before known in
August.
The wheat harvest has commenced ; but the showery
weather prevents many from cutting, though the corn
is ready.

DISCOVERY OF A NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR
or " DoN QUIXOTE."-" It would be unpardonable not
to make special mention of the fact, that this month's
Bentley's Miscellany contains a translation, with excel-
lent prefatory and explanatory notes, of " El Buscapie,'
the long lost wook of Cervantes, recently discovered in
manuscript at Cadiz. Its discovery is a real event in
the literary history of Europe."—Morning Chronicle.
Gasio PRESERVING..—There is no mistake respect-
ing game being a serious injury to produce, because it is
now admitted by Parliament. The preamble of the new
Game Law, passed on the 22d ult.. says "And
whereas it has been found that mai h damage has
been and is continually done by hares to the pro-
duce of inclosed lands, and that gre. it losses have
thereby accrued and do accrue to ,he occupiers of
such lands." At last this has become
_Legalised " great
fact," and the day cannot be far distant
when another
step in the right direction roust be made in -egard to the
gamo preserving system, as well as the ganu, laws. ,
