WINTER BALLS.—The brilliant Assembly,
held at the Montpellier Rotunda, on Thursday evening last,
afforded a gratifying proof of the increasing prosperity and
attractions of the Cheltenham Winter Season. Upwards
of five hundred of our most fashionable residents and
visitots were Present.— Cheltenham Chronicle.

We understand that robberies in the neigh-
bourhood of Henfield, and, indeed, in most places in the

A professional gentleman in this town received
the other day a twenty guilder piece, which had been
given him for a sovereign as a fee! We feel it difficult to
believe this was intentionally done, but such a trick might
be easily played, for these pieces resemble the sovereigns so
closely, that many, indeed ulo.,
persons, would take them
without a narrow inspection. Almost the only difference
is that the edge of the sovereign is milled, while in the other
piece it is lettered. In size, external appearance, and
sound, they are almost the same,.-Brighton Gazette.
