HASTINGS, OCT. 9.—Sir John Conroy arrived on
Monday at the South Lawn Hotel, St. Leonard's, on business
connected with the contemplated sojourn of their Royal High-
nesses the Dutchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria at that
new watering-place. The last Royal visitors here were the
Duke and Duchess of Cumberland and Prince Gearge, who
took up their abode during the winter of 1833. Great re-
joicings—great at least as the place is capable of exhibiting—
will take place on the arrival of their Royal Highnesses. The
principal visitors of rank here are the Duke and Duchess of
Montrose, and Lord and Lady Gort and family. The new
buildings at St. Leonard's are rapidly advancing to completion.
DOVER, OCT. 9.—The continued fine weather
keeps this highly-fashionable place completely full. The rides
are thronged with the moq splendid equipages, and the pro-
menades crowded with the elite of beauty, rank, and fashion.
His Excellency the Spanish Ambassador, with Madame, fa-
mily, and a numerous suite, the Countess of Aldborough, Lord
Forbes, &c., have gone over. Their Excellencies the Baron
d'Ompteda and family and suite, the Hanoverian Minister, and
his Grace the Duke of Manchester and suite, have landed from
the Continent. Now that other places are beginning to de-
cline, we, from the superior eligibility of our port, are in-
creasing. Few families, on their return from their visits to
the Continent, feel disposed to risk long and uncomfortable
voyages home, while they can confidently calculate on nearing
the white cliffs of Albion via Dover in three hours from Calais.
Our city begins to fill rapidly, and we are happy to
see on our promenades some of our leading and most fashion-
able residents. This promises well for our winter campaign,
and we hear from all quarters that an eager desire is manifested
to obtain lodgings of a superior description. Among the ar-
rivals we have to notice that of the Countess of Belmore, at
her house in the Royal Crescent, Colonel and Mrs. Andrews
in Sydney-place' Mrs. Sadleir, in Church-street, Sir H.
Bayntun, in St. James's-square, &c. &c.--Bath Chronicle.

THAMES STEAM NAVIGATION.—On Thursday
evening last an inquisition was holden before C. T. Carttar,
Esq., Coroner for Kent, and a respectable jury, at the Bee-
hive, Flaggon-row, Deptford, on view of the body of John
Green, aged 24, who was drowned in the River Thames in
consequence of the swell occasioned by a steamer which was
proceeding at a most rapid rate. It appeared from the evi-
dence, that on Thursday morning last the deceased, who was
a Trinity-house ballast lighterman, and a man of the name of
Condwire, were in a Trinity-house ballast barge, and about to
deliver ballast to a ship in the second tier off the City Canal,
when the deceased, in order to secure the barge, went into a
boat to fasten the warp to another vessel riding in the third
tier. While in the act of fastening the warp, the large Irish
steamer, called the Lord Belfast, passed down the river at a
very rapid rate, occassioning a tremendous swell of the water,
from the agitation of which the boat was canted with such vio-
lence, that the deceased fell backward over the gunwale into
the water, and never rose again. After a short consultation,
the Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." The Jury,
at the same time, expressed their strong indignation at the
speed with which steamers were allowed to proceed up
and down the pool of the river. The Coroner and Jury la-
mented that there was not sufficient evidence to bring a charge
of manslaughter against the captain of the steamer.
At about ten o clock on Tuesday night as Mrs.
Salmon of this city and her two daughters were returning from
Hampton in a fly, the horse took fright near Hampton House
and, turning short round, threw the driver from his seat, and
then gOloppil, at full speed, down the hill towards Bath.
