Tl:e delightful weather of the past week has been produttive of
tnuci bustle and gaiety here, and we are now very fell of company.
The harvest fields teem not only with the sons abd daughters of
toik but with elegant and well-dressed visitors 'to view the buy
scene ; and never was a finer prospect to repay the farmer, both u
to quantity and quality.—Arrivals continue to pour in every hour,
Ind out-number considerably the departures, and the Hotels and
Inns are crowded with guests. rattles from Brighton here, and
vice tetras, are constantly on the wing for the day, and contribute to
give additional life and spirit to each place.

The Mai quis of HERTFORD has been most liberal in

merick betvreen the 6th and 20th of September.
The families of the STANHOPES and %VESTS have
been plunged into great distress by the sudden death of Lady
Geoaotatia Wear, at Blythe Hall, Warwickshire. The Earl of
CSESTIZEIELD, Lord Ace Lsroan, and Major BEILLELIT, were on a
visit to the Hon. Mr. WEST, when this amiable young Lady was
taken ill, and before night the melancholy evelit took place.
Vauxhall Gardens were last night crowded ; and the
Entertainments were, as usual, highly attractive. As the season
draws to a close, the Managers do net, in the least, relax in their
exertions to merit public favour.
Thursday, the body of the much•respected Mr.
AsaAuast blotaarmax was removed from Lyons, where he died,
and arrived at his late residence, Stamford Hill, last night, in a
hearse drawn by four horses. We understand that the funeral will
take place to-morrow afternoon, about three o'clock. It will be
attended by the whole of the family, with a numerous retinue of
carriages, containing the friends of the deceased who may be
anxious to pay the last solemn tribute to departed worth.
Madame CATALANI'S husband, formerly an Officer
of Cavalry, has been made a Chevalier at the last promotion.
Last week, Don MARIANO EGANA, late Minister of
State for Foreign Affairs in Chili, with his Secretary, Mr. BARRA,
arrived in London. They came in the Royal Sovereign, which
made her passage in 91 days from Valparaiso. We understand that
Mr. Fumy,' is appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to this Govern-
ment, in consequence of .Mr. Ituataitais request to be recalled.
Partridges are unusually scarce this year in Norfolk,
as well as in many other Counties.
The' reports from all quarters of the country give the
most flattering accounts of the amasing increase of our commerce
and manufactures. The iron trade was never in a more flou-
rishing state.
Mrs. COUTTS arrived at Edinburgh on Wednesday
evening, after spending a few days at Sir Jolts Maaaoantances, in
Berwickshire. Thursday, Mrs. Courts, in a carriage and four,
accompanied by two other carriages, took an airing to view the
town and public buildings. Mrs. Courrs arrived at Lees on Sa-
turday last. On Sunday she went to Allanbank, which had been
the residence of the late Mr. Courts during the holidays of his boy-
hood (his mother being the daughter of Sir RoscsT STUART, But.)
and attended Divine Service at the parish church of Edrom. The
poor, upon this, as on many other occasions, will have reason to re-
member her generous and charitable disposition. She forwarded to
the Minister of the parish ea to be distributed among those who
stood in immediate want of assistance; and generously gave to an
old servant of the ALLA/MANE family, who remembered,
,and had,
perhaps, been the companion of Mr. Courts during his childhood,
an annuity of 201. for the remainder of his life. We understand
that 201. have been given by the same friendly band to the pour of
the parish of Coldstream.
kriday afternoon. about one o'clock, a rencontre took
place on Wellington-quay, Dublin, between Mr. 111-ct. c-st of Graf.l
too-street, and Mr. S.surti, of Parliament-street, in consequence,
of an article which appeared in the last number of the Dublin Seeming
Mail, reflecting, as the former Gentleman took it, on his character.
The fineness of the weather, on Sunday, induced
Juhn Bun and his numerous progeny to enjoy the rural scenes in
the vicinity of the metropolis, and the concourse assembled at all
the public tea-gardens almost exceeded belief. The stage coach-
masters reaped a plentiful harvest, and as one instance of the great
profit accruing to them generally, Pucce, the coach proprietor at
Peckham Rye, sent 117 persons to town between the hours of
seven and ten on Sunday night last, exclusive of children. Two
other coach-masters vehicles on the same ground were equally filled.
At Cumberland-gardens, a serious commotion bad nearly
_taken

place; unfortunately for the Proprietors, the bakers bad only
furnished 300 rolls instead of 900 as ordered; consequently at the
bread and butter hour, there was a general outcry for more but
rolls; the waiters could furnish no more; the bar was beset
by men, women, and hungry children, and had it not been for
a timely supply of stale and new bread from the neighbouring
bakers, the castle would have been stormed, and the unfortunate
inmates, perhaps, have fallen a sacrifice to the ravenous visitors.
The whole of the establishment, consisting of waiters.cooks,boou,
and some acquaintances on the spot, were put into immediate re-
quisition, to carve bread and butter for the half-famished crowd ;
at length, Mr. Mrs. and all the little Bulls retired perfectly satisfied.
The improvements and building of new houses are
going on with great spirit at Brighton. The erection of a su-
perb new Church in the centre of the Grand Parade has already
commenced, the ground having been some time ago consecrated by
the Bishop of Cnicsiaaraa, late Vicar of Brighton. The narrow
part of the King's Road is about to be widened, and some means
will be taken to enlarge the carriage-way through the narrow street
which connects the south end of East-street with the Steyne and
Earit Cliff.

Saturday night's Gazette contained a notice, that in',
the ensuing Session of Parliament, application will be
made for leave to bring in a Bill for the boring of a
Tunnel under the Thames, from Greenwich to All
Saints, Poplar ; the attorney's name to the notice is,
most appropriately, Pierce-on !—Should this curious
measure succeed, it will be seen that it is arranged its
termination should be poplar!
Population seems to be upon the increase everywhere.
A late letter from New York says, " In one s ear this
city has increased the number of its ::welling-houses by
2,000, at the same time gaining an accession of 6,000
souls. Seven new churches have also been built. Ac-
cording to an actual census, there are at present 130,000
inhabitants in New York, and 86 buildings devoted to
public worship."
Forty-nine thousand four hundred and forty-eight
men were engaged in the Irish Fisheries last year, aril
a bounty was paid on 27,857 bands of cured hen ings.
Partridge shooting commences to-morrow. There is
a general complaint of scarcity of birds. It may not
be amiss here to mention that, by an Act passed in the
last Session of Parliament, any person sporting without
first taking out a game certificate, will be charged a
penalty of £2O, independent of the duty of 13s. 6d.
The transfer of grouse from the Highlands to Lon-
don, during the last two or three days, has been un-
usually great. The old sportsmen, natives of Scotland,
who thus far have been most successful in bringing
down their gime, report the birds to be exceedingly
shy; arid scare estates, which in former seasons were
stocked IA ith abundance of both the black and red cock,
are this year nearly deserted.
Accounts from Constantinople of the 26th ult. say—
,. The plague which appeared at Cairo and Alexandria has unfortu-
nately reached this capital. This is much more fatal than the
great heats which existed there for fifteen days. -To day a violent
fire broke "out in the Faubourg de Pera. It still continues, and it
is known how terrible these accidents are in- Turkish cities, where
there t:aLit no nitata of repressing them."
