111.1 R GATE, Ave,. 25.

THE favourable change in the weather has very
considerably increased the population of this place,
and we are now so full that a bed is obtained with
great difficulty. Broadstairs, Ramsgate, St. Peter's,
and all the neighbouring places partake of this aug-
mentation of visitors. ,The Assemblies at these
places have not only been hill, but crowded to the
extreme of fashion. Ramsgate Ball, on Tuesday
night, and Dandelion, on the following morning,
were thronged. KinnmArr's Ball,on Thursday night,
had at least 600 persons. A Review, on Friday
morning, about three miles distant from hence, had ,
some thousands of, spdtators. The Commander in
Chief and his Royal brother, the Duxu of CAM-
BRIDGE, were early on the ground. The Renfrew
Militia (now quartered here) made a very soldier-
like appear:lnce, and so did the Perthshire. The
13th. Horse Diagoons distinguished themselves high-
ly to their own honour and that of their Commander.
Lord KEITH patronized the benefit of Mrs. HEN-
RY. The Picea was, The Venetian Outlauf. An
apology was made for MusoaovE on account of in—
disposztzvi, and he' was only. well emnigit to go
through his part With tie took in his hand, Mrs.
HENRY performed Rosara, and the audience were
much diverted at the warlike manner in which she
was,pulied about by the soldiers in the Ad.--
The /Vest Indian has introduced JOHNSTONE, of
,Drury-lane Theatre, in the part of Major O'Flaherty,
which he performed with his usual spirit, and gave
a humourous song with admirable elle& The rest
of the charatiers were well supported by CARLESS,
WILMOT WELLS, TAYLOR, Mrs. KING, and Mrs.
TAYLOR, the last of whom has been much -indis-
posed, but her acting was not the less spirited.

The German company ofjuvenile A&ors perform-
ed a new MuSical Drama, on 'Saturday night, enti-
tled The Swiss. The •Piece exhibited 4, pleasing
portrait of Swiss manners; and was• very well, cal-
culated' to display the talents of the young perform-
ers, all of whom displayed considerable merit. The
Farce was The Double Deception. FaErunticx
SCHIRMIin was particularly diverting in the part- of a
raral _Barker.: There was a nu►nerous and elegant
auditory.
The Receipts of Birmingham Theatre, on Tues-
day, which were generously given by the Manager
to the Generalifospital of that Town, amounted to
2071.
Miss SMITH, the late Heroine of the Bath Stage,
has been so much admired thi; Summer at South-
ampton, as to promise great attradion at Covent-
Garden Theatre, for which she is engaged.,
The rum, infant Roseius, who has been perform-
ing at South End, appeared in Folstqf for his own
benefit. All allusions to the. cZesity of the facetious
Knight were, of course, omitted, and hence, as the
/tumour of the charader in a great measure depends on
its,size, it must have been very entertaining.
LastWedneSday the Assize for the. County of
Westmorland was held at Appleby, 'and, highly to
the credit of the County, there was not.one' Prisoner
to be tried, although it is twelve months since the
last Assize was held there.

On Saturday the Assize for the County of Lancris.
ter commenced before Sir ALLAN : CHAMJ3RE and Sir
T. M. Stirrog. There are seventeen Prisoners in the
Castle for trial, they are most of them for capital
offences : they are fewer than have been for several
years past.

Mail-coaches, in order that, should the death of the
Royal Duke take place, the intelligence might b
sent into the country by them; and in conseqticnce

found that, in addition to the Stone in the Bladder,
and Hemorrhoids, there was afro a very great decay
of the liver. Orders wer4 immediately after given
to prepare the urn- in which the heart and some
other intestine pants are to be deposited. This urn
will be cased with lead, with an outer cover of
strong oak, and covered with crimson velvet, and
Silver double gilt handles to correspond with the
tcollin. It will in a day or two be conveyed to tlei
Jerusalem Chamber, in the State Coach of His Hovel
Highness, under a military escort. The Body will
also be conveyed in the like manner to the same
place, and from thence to the Prince's Chamber,
adjoining the House of Lords, where it will remein
for some days in state. •

formed, the Royal Corpse will be committed to .6
destined mansion, bedecked in the highest style, of
Royalty. Every limb and every finger. respeclive-
ly„ lies bound in lawn, and covered with white
satin ; the body and the face in like manner
bound round with the same materials. The neck,
wrists, knees, and feet, will be elegantly ornament-
ed with purple bows. -The coffin, lined with white
satin, richly ornamented, will be immediately clesed"
up, for interment. Two of the domestics of
late Royal Highness the Dote: of Geonetsren
sit up with 'the Corpse alternately at GlonceKter
House, until its removal from thence to the House,
of Lnrds to lie in state. The Interment is ex•
peaed to take place on Thursday selmight, until
which time the Theatres, and all other places
of Public Ammement, will remain closed.—

Yesterday se'nnight the lives of two persons in
Birmingham were in a most providential awl mira-
culous manner preserved In taking down one of
the old house's, four stories high, in the Bull Ring,
the workmen employed very :incautiously over-
hurthened the lloor.of the uppermost story* which,
from the pressure, gave way, and the turtOrtunate
then were precipitated, with an accumulated load
brick, tiMber, arnt rubbish,. into the dellar. Boat
of them. are again, however, able to tiwir
occupations.
