CHELTENHAM, AUGUST 22.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
Whilst the good people of Brighton, "and of almost every
other watering place in the kingdom, complain loudly of the
"falling-off" of fashionable company, it may well be ques-
tioned whether at this period of the year Cheltenham could in
any former season boast of a more numerous concourse of per-
sonages of rank and fashion than may now be seen at the
several Pump Rooms in the morning, and at the evening Mu-
sical Promenades and Balls of the Montpellier Rotunda. At
the recent performances for the benefit of the celebrated band
of that establishment, there were eight hundred fashionables
present, and the Quadrille Ball of last night was one of the
gayest and most numerously attended assemblies that has for
many months been witnessed here.
Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather on
Wednesday, and the -consequent forebodings of continued rain
yesterday, the clouds dispersed before noon, and a clear bright
sky and unclouded sunshine heightened the enjoyment of the
Public Breakfast at Pittville. The entertainment was got up
in excellent style by Mr. Seymour, whose exertions on the
occasion were rewarded by the perfect success of the fete,
which was altogether arranged in a manner that would do cre-
dit to the most eminent caterers of the West End ; and up-
wards of five hundred of the beau monde participated in the
festivities and pleasures of the gay scene. At the conclusion
of a very sumptuous repast, in which every delicacy and luxury
of the season graced the board, a well-selected Quadrille Band
gave " note of preparation," and the votaries of pleasure
" tripped it on the light fantastic toe" till nearly five o'clock.
Amongst the many other attractive amusements of this
highly-favoured town, the theatre is very liberally patronised, as
it deserves to be, under the judicious and spirited management of
Mr. Spencer. " Gustavus" was produced on Monday even-
ing, and with an attention to musical and scenic effect, cos-
tume, decOrations, &c. which we very seldom see attempted in
provincial theatres. The house was crowded, and the piece
announced for repetition amidst the most cheering applause.
Amongst our recent arrivals are the Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Thomond, the Bishops of Gloucester and Here-
ford, Lords Fitzgerald, Seagrave, Louraine, Hon. W. Ba-
thurst., Lady Williamson, Sir John and Lady Guise, Sir G.
Phillips, Admiral and Mrs. Douglas, Admiral Middleton,
&c. &c.
