CHELTENIIAM.—The throng of company
increases here from hourly arrivals, and Cheltenham was
never known to be so gay, by the oldest inhabitant, since
its first becoming a place of fashionable resort. We omit-
ted to state in our report of one o'clock this morning, that
the Duke was accompanied last night to the theatre by the
Earl and Couatess BATHURST, Lady G. BATHURST, Lady
HARDY and her two beautiful and accomplished daughters,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Colonel SHAW, Mr. PRENDERGAST,
and Captain MARSHALL, the Master of the Ceretnonies.
As the Duke had been detained at his house by his dinner
party, be condescendingly sent a message to Mr. CooKE,
the active and efficient manager of the theatre, requesting
that lie would not postpone the performances on his ac•
count,

his temporarily
aus-
pended to pay him the accustomed compliment of playing
" See, the Conquering Hero comes." The evening's per-
formances were closed with " God save the King." This
morning the Princess ESTIERHAZY and her lovely daughter
commenced taking the waters at the Montpellier Spa,
whither they were accompanied by Mr. MARSHALL, Mas-
ter of the Ceremonies, and afterwards promenaded the
beautiful walks here until ten o'clock, when they returned
to the Priory House, the residence of the Duke, to break-
fast. His Grace continues to take the waters, and increases
in his good looks. Some of the " Stars" here are con-
templating a fancy masquerade ball, for his Grace, to be
given next week, which will, no doubt, be got up, as the
most prominent of the fashionables are exhibiting their good
taste by promoting the mutual amusement of all. Among
the improvements which have tended to increase the cele-
brity and popularity of this place, we ought, in justice to
Mr. LEE, of the Assembly Rooms, to state that he conti-
nues the New Cheltenham Club upon most liberal princi-
ples. The rooms are fitted up with a costly munificence,
and no less than eight Daily Papers are taken in. This
has been a thing long wanted here, as, from some reason
which we are uninformed of, the Old Club got into diH•
repute, and was forsaken by the nobility and gentry. Since
the establishment of the New Club, however, we are en-
abled to state that the old subscribers have rejoined, and
the Club has had a most extraordinary accession of fashion-
able members. Madame Vesrats has drawn in3dense
houses here, and this night she goes to Glouceot,:rey w_cl.ent
