_..ODERT AND LADY SALE.—These distill.. guished individuals arrived in Londonderry on Tuesday.
Immediately on their debarkation they were received by
a large number of respectable persons on the quay with
cheer's and other demonstrations of respectful welcome.
They had been accompanied from Portrush by Sir R.
Bateson, Castrues ; Col. Cairnes, K.G., and other gen-
tlemen, who interested themselves in the cordial wel-
come so deservedly prepared for the gallant general and
his lady. The worshipful the mayor (William Haslett,
Esq.), accompanied Sir Robert Sale to the house of John
Dysart, Esq., in Shipquay-street, to whom the hero of
Jellalabad is on a visit. The joy-bells rang merrily
through the day, and successive peals of artillery re-
sounded from the walls at intervals. The vessels in
the harbour were decorated ;with flags in honour of Sir
Robert Sale's arrival. Sir Robert Sale will be enter-
tained at as sumptuous a banquet as Derry can afford, on
Friday next, in Corporation Hall, where ho will be met
by as many gentry of the district as the Hall will ac-
commodate, and a ball will be given in honour of Lady
Sale on the Tuesday evening following.
SIGNS OF WINTER.—On Sunday evening a large
flock of wild geese passed over Chesterfield, on their
way, it is supposed, to the fens of Lincolnshire. Such a
circumstance at this early period of the season was
hardly ever known ; and it is considered to forebode an
early and severe winter.—Notts Review.
It is stated that the wheats in this county, where
they have been got up hard and dry, weigh from 63 to
651bs. per bushel, arid the quality is bold and handsome.
—Chelmsford Chronicle.

VAUXHALL GARDENS.—The portals of the " Royal
Property" are to be opened once more, and for the last
time, ere this splendid and favourite place of entertain-
ment is razed to the ground, it having been decreed that
it shall yield to the " march of brick and mortar" now
proceeding at such a rapid pace in its vicinity. A grand
Indian equestrian entertainment is to be produced on
Monday afternoon, under the direction of Mr. Catlin,
when the loways will be encamped in their" wigwams"
both night and day in the inclosure of the gardens known
as the " Waterloo Ground," and which, from its now
being covered with grass, and surrounded by. trees and
shrubs, completely resembles an Indian prairie. The
warriors and chiefs of the party will appear on horse-
back, in saddles and trappings of their own manufacture,
and give their mode of warfare by exhibiting a sham
fight, in which their actions delineate the mode of ap-
proaching an enemy by hunting their track, and in tracing
them up, skulking after them, and at last, when the war-
whoop is sounded, of rushing on the attack. They will
unpropitious re w , ad n
also give the war, eagle, scalp, and other dances—dis-
play their skill in shootincg.

A REASON AGAINST A RAILWAY.—One of the
hotel keepers at Bowness, Windermere, declared that
they did not want a railway to the Lakes, " because it
will increase the number of visitors, and they are already
so full they don't know what to do"—like the fat boy,
blubbering over his pudding, because he couldn't eat any
more l—Bailway Record.
