MAR GATE, JULr 31.

Among our most fashionable amusements here, is
WEIPPERT'S Musical Promenade, held at Kdman's
Great Rooms every Wednesday evening, which is fre-
quented by the first people of distinction and fashion.
Mr. and Miss Weippert perform several solos, duettos,
and concertos, on the Pedal Harp and Piano-forte,
and we hope such excellent performers Ivill always find
their reward. The execution on the Piano-forte, and
taste of Miss Weippert, is the finest we ever heard ;
and the duettos on the Hatp and Piaue-fo:tc by Mr.
and Miss Weippert, are electrifying.
Dandelion last Wednesday, was attended by up-
wards. of SOO persons. Mr. dIIARLES roZILN:AItD, Mas.,
ter of the Ceremonies, deserves great praise for his
attention to the company, as well as Mr. LARANDON,
the proprietor.
Our Theatre opened on Saturday night, with Man
and Wif:, and The Poor Soldier; it was well attended.

CHELTENHAIIA JULY 28.

Last evening a very magnificent ball and :upper
were given by Lord BLANEY, at his beautifully fitted
up residence ; it was attended by a display of rank
and fashion heretofore unknown in this attractive %ya-
wl ing•place.
A very curious circumstance occurred ; a Lady of
attractive exterior, but dressed in the most whimsical
manner possible, made her appearance, having on
her head a prodigiously 10. .g green feather, which
extended infinitely below her right ear, and a fanciful
brown bonnet ; a gown with white sleeves, and green
body ; a purple pctticoat, and red stockings finished
her costume. The eccentric appearance of this lady
at first. excited agtonislunent, but which afterwards
produced a fund of mirth and pleasantry. She was.
totally unknown to all thw company, and passed her='
self off for a Fortune Teller, in which mysterious-cha-
racter she displayed much refined wit, and a thorough
-knowledge of the most secret occurrences in high lift,
which happened during 'the last fashionable reason in
Lc:P:loin Her manners, although odd, were so en-
gaging as to excite the greatest possible degree of in-
terest. She • retired as she entered, without grati-
fying the extreme curiosity she had excited ; her.
dancing was inimitably graceful.
