The coronation will tate place on the Sth of September for certals.
—Sihce the commencement of Lent there has been &latest a total
absence of balls and amusements. But strA.ngers are tolerated in
doing things which are not at all permitted to the Russians. U. de is
Ferronaye, the Duke de Ragusa, and the Dukeof Devonshire, take
a day in rotation, and their houses are well attended by company.
The Russian houses most frequented are those of Prince Galitzin,
Governor General of Moscow, and of General Apra:in. The Em,
peror is slightly indisposed, and has nut attended the parade these
two days. His Majesty has for some time occupied the palace
of the Countess Orloff, at one of the extremities of the city. lie is
better there than at the Kremlin, and this residence also agrees bet-
ter with the health of her Majesty the Empress, which requires
much attention. The Empress-mother resides at the Archiepiscopal

BRIGHTON, SILPTEMBER. 12.

The Duchess of Kent arrived here from Tunbridge Wells this

The affair of Mrs. Forrest, mentioned in yesterday's
letter, has led to a fracas and a hearing before the Ma-
gistrates this morning. The name of the Solicitor by
whom the placard was put up is Barrow, and in the
examination to-day be stated that last night, or rather
this morning, at an early hour, Mr. Ramsdeo (an Officer
of the Guards), and two other Gentlemen (also, I believe,
Officers),all of whom wete in custody, came to his house,
and abused him with the most opprobrious and offensive
epithets, spitting in his face, and challenging him to
come out and fight. A watchman happening to pass at
the moment, took them into custody ; and they were
bound over by the Magistrates in their own recogni-
zances of 1001. to keep the peace, and also to appear at
the Sessions. Warrants were also issued for the appre-
hension of the two Ladies, on charges of keeping a
disorderly house.
It appeared on the examination that Mrs. Forrest and
her companion returned on Sunday night to the house
lon the New Steine, and this accounts for the exhibition
of the placards yesterday, which at the time caused so
muck surprise. Mr. Barrow stated to the Magistrates
that the house was the resort of men of all ages, from
16 to 80, and that seventy or eighty different Gentle-
men had been there ; but it does not appear that pre-
viously to the bills being put up, any thing was done to
annoy or disturb the neighbourhood.
Mrs. Forrest, who is a pretty woman, andtbf fascinating manners,
has resided here some weeks, driving a barouche, and living in very
good style. She was here some years ago with Mr. Fauntleroy, at
which time they occupied a house on the Old Stelae.

she " lam draggle-tailed dastity, doomed to walk through the rain
and din."
