THE VALE OF TEESDALE.

The celebration of the beauties of Rokeby and
its environs, by Sir VtrAurn SCOTT, in his admirable poem
of that name, we are glad to find, has recently led to a more in-
thriate knowledge and visitation by travellers of the romantic
country of Teesdale, adjoining Rokeby on the west. Mr. Ar.
thur - Young had previously, in his agricultural tour to the
north,..given a description of this-vale in all the ardour and high
colouring of poetic genius, and he concludes his account by de-
claring, that the scenery and water-falls are worthy of a journey
of a thousand miles to visit. The vale is divided through its en-
tire length by the bold and majestic stream the Tees, and pre-
sents a long continuance of-singularly picturesque anti sublime,
but at the same time most beautiful scenery, while its diversified
banks afford unceasing displays of what may be termed prospec-
tive enchantment itself. In the upper part of the vale, amidst the
wild grandeur of lofty surrounding mountains, and heaths rich
in treasures of the mineral kingdom, are the magnificent.water-
falls of the High Force and Caldron Snout,-objects that can never
be beheld but with transport and admiration, and which, in
in beauty of picturesque scenery, and sublimity of character,
from the height down which the river is precipitated, stand un-
rivalled in the kingdom. On the lowerbanks of the vale, is ,
a fine agricultural country, are Raby and -Streatlam Castles,
and Lartington Hall, each highly distinguished for its peculiar
beauties and embellished •pleasure grounds. In their centre
is situated the improving town of Barnard-Caste, the' range,
the spaciousness, and the contour of the "streets' Pf which,
display the taste• and masterly hand. of him who erected its
lofty castle, once the residence of royal blood, and the resplen-
dent ruins of which are - still a model of a fortress of happily
combined strength, grace, and majesty, not to equalled by an-
cient or modern . architecture... From the foot of. these ruins a
circuit of walks upOn the banks of the Tees has lately been
opened through the estate of the Earl:of Darlington, by his
Lordship's liberal permission. 'Woods, rocks, and waters, pre-
sent themselves throughout the whole circuit of walks; ever -
changing in scene, and ever delightful ; always sweet and
soothing:
, and never palling; and affording a temperate Mont-
pelier climate, even in the winters of the North; from
numerous seats,. are afforded everywhere the most captivat-
ing and contrasted of views. These walks have the peculiar
charm that they are Nature's gifts, in her loose and simple
dress, being laid out as it were by her own suggestions, in a
style elevated, sublime, and impressive, but at 'the same time
unstudied and unobtrusive. In the midst of these walks is Situ-
ated a peculiarly grateful sulphurcous spa, the valuable medici-
nal properties of 'Which have also been known in its vicinity;
though, till lately, it has' been only occasionally fluent but
it is now traced to its copious subterraneous current, and has
recently made a number of cures sufficient to place its virtues
upon a footing with those of any other hydrogenous water.—
The erection of proper baths, and adjoining rooms, is still a
desideratum,-but it is to be hoped that the attraction of the su-
perior beauties of the vicinity, and an extended celebrity of the
waters, will soon afford inducements for the accomplishment
of so desirable an object. Thus the north of England is highly
indebted to Sir W. Scott, for attracting, through the charms
of his poetry, the attention of the whole kingdom to a district of
such characteristic beauty. An accession of the most impor-
tant kind is given to the lakes of Cumberland and "Westmore-
land, and the north of itself, with its other numerous and in-.
teresting prospects and objects of attention, is rendered in the
highest degree worthy of a summer's tour of pleasure' if we
consider travelling to be the pleasurable devotion of human
leisure for enjoying the various charms and' attractions of na-
ture and. taste, where they are to be found in their highest and
most diversified perfection.—(Newcastle Courant.)
