NYSE PARK.

This fashionable resort was again crowded yester-
*lay with equisites of both sexes. Among the belles,
enormous French bonnets of silk, with baguets of roses,
lilac, lilies of the valley, aid e;irs of barley inter-
mixed; wi:h silk pelisses and -large ruffs, form the
,-eneral costunr... No one particular colour seems to
predominate ; for almost every.colour in the ethereal
bow was L;i,played in pretty equal proportions. The
waist continues to lengthen, and is in a fair way, to
become " fine by degrees, and beautifully less." On
the promenade were _ _ _

mouth, Westmorland, Glengall, and Uxbridge, the Duke of

MISS BURNEY'S Tales ofFancy, continue to engross
the attention of the lovers of fiction. The Monthly
:Reviewers observe, with great truth, that she pos-
aeses, in a superior degree, the power of throwing a
charm over the incidents of familiar life—of display-
;nr, with true effect the naivete et youth— of report-
ing- b
conversations with characteristic humour—and
f exciting that degree of interest which while she
:.ierself always appears to be at home makes her
readers feel equally at ease. Extravagant romance
?ad mitre characters are not in her department—Na-
ture is her only guide.
The Installation of the Itnights of the Bath, in-
tended for the Ist of June, is put off for a fortnight.
This is owing to the additional preparations neces-
sary for the increased number of persons connected
that Order, and the appearance of the KING as
Sovereign thereof, which, it is said, is usual at the
first Installation in his reign. It is calculated there
,vill be nearly 700 persons in the procession: the
caliopies over the stalls are to be removed, and a
triple row of seats made below the present Knights
sea:s: yet, after all, it is doubtful whether the Esquires
can be admitted into the body of Henry the Seventh's
Chapel, on account of the number of the Knights
Commanders and Companions. If there should not
be room, they will file off at the entrance of the
Chapel, and be arranged in galleries to be erected in
the side aisles. The 13th tr. 15th of June are the
days at present talked off.
