HASTINGS, Our. Is.

Monday, the Earl of Chichester, accompanied by
William Lucas Shadwell, Esq. Inigo Thomas, Esq. and
William Thorpe, Esq. took a survey of Pelham-crescent
Chapel, situated to the West of Hastings; the architec-
tural operations of which, have for a short period been
suspended, most probably in consequence of the above
Nobleman's late father's dissolution: From the recent
inspection, t'tere is now every reason to conjecture, par-
ticularly as the surveyor, Key, Esq. is at present
here, that the works will be resumed with great activity,
and the sacred edifice completed with as little delay as
possible. Besides ample room for our fashionable visit-
ants and respectable inhabitants, the free sittings will
accommodate about two hundred, according to the ex-
pressed intention of the Act of Parliament. The exterior
will exhibit a grand and magnificent appearance to the
superb houses which surround the arcade, and to those
erected in Pelham-place.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather for
the last few days, the Marine Promenade has bees much
crowded with fashionable visitants, during lucid inter-
vals ; many in pursuit of health, and others deriving re-
creation in watching the turbulency of the ocean, and
the pleasure boats occasionally going off and returning
to shore, with large parties, and their occupants expe-
riencing plentifully of shower baths from a diffusion of
unexpected saline particles.
Mr.Pearrnan, a first-rate singer from Covent Garden,
has acquired great applause and eclat at our Theatre in
the course of the last week, from his superior vocal
powers. This evening will be performed the celebrated
Comedy of the Road to Ruin, and the Comic Opera of
Inkle and larico, under the immediate patronage of the
Loyal Independent Regency Lodge of Odd Fellows.
The Libraries and Arcade continue to possess enchant-
ing attractions to please, and the vocal and instrumental
performances are much admired. The First Autumn As-
sembly, at the Swan Royal Hotel, was brilliant yesterday
evening ;120 ekganiess and votaries of Terpsichore were
present, and exhibited much grace and ease on the light
fantastic toe. The Stewards were—Sir Geo. Prescot,
Bart. William Camac, Frederick North, and Musgrave
Brisct, Esqrs.
The hotels are nearly full, and the boarding esta-
blishments have their share of respectable company.
Many of the large lodging houses are already engaged,
and others applied for. Several families of the first
consequence have arrived, so that there is no doubt but
the expectations of the inhabitants will be realized in
prosperous autumn and winter seasons. The following

Lord Cornwallis and family, Marine Parade, Sayer's House; Lieut.
Gen. Sir Rufane Donkin, East Hill; Lord R. and Lady Fitzgerald,

KNOWsLEY.—Monday evening the Earl of DERBY
gave one of the most splendid banquets ever witnessed in this part
of the country. Upwards of 300 of the most distinguished per-
sonages of this and the adjoining counties were present. The sup-
per tables were covered with all the delicacies of the season, which
were served up in the most sumptuous style. Dancing, consisting
of the most fashionable quadrilles and country dances, formed part
of the evening's entertainment, and the company deputed highly
delighted, at a late hour. _ _

New South Wales papers have arrived to the 11th
of June. The cultivation of sugar appears to make a
rapid progress in the colony. Two vessels laden with
sugars of the nei crop were about to sail for England.
The other improvements of the settlement appear still
in progress. A Chamber of Commerce is about to be
established ; an Exchange room for news and for the
insurance of ships—a new company for the purpose of
extending the whale fisheries. These papers state that
the crime of perjury has become so common, that the
names of all persons convicted are now CO be published,
and held forth daily to public view. In mentioning
the imptovement of these distant colonies, we should
undoubtedly notice the advance in politeness. The Van
Die man's Land papers state, that the female convicts
lately landed, are di quite of a superior class of society,"
and pass many (no doubt just) compliments on their
personal appearance and accomplishments.
Micro/to, OCTOBER 11.—Sunday evening, Mr. Francis White, ,
