BOULOGNE-SUR-MERE Aug. 10.

Although a considerable number of families have
gone away during the past week, the place is now as
full and gay as it has been at any time during this sea-
son. The proprietors of houses have profited by the
influx of new visitors, and raised the rent of houses ac-,
cordingly to at least 50 per cent. In justice to the
Boulognois, however, it must be allowed that they
have in general fitted up their houses for the reception
of the English, with much neatness, and in some, as far
as they can, in the English style, and the town is kept,
perhaps, as clean as any in France. Many new houses
have been built, some of them on a large scale ; and
everything, in fact, proves the increase of weettls ayod
comfort in general. This must be the case, when it is,
recollected that on an average during the last twelve
years, there have been, perhaps, not less than 2000
British living in and about Boulogne*: Some of them
opulent, and spending in some way or other film one
to 30001. a year, or upwards: Let us suppose that each
of them would spend 2001. a year, one with another ;
this would amusount to 400,0001. annually—an enor-
mous sum for such a small place, containing only
17,500 inhabitants. Half of this sum divided equallx,
amongst the population, would give to each individual
nearly 300 francs or 121. a year, a sem probably much
below the mark, and offering a subject not unworthy,
the grave attention of your Legislatots.
The Count and Countess de MowriroLow are still
here. The Count, from his own merit, but more pat.
Venially from his generous attachment to NAPOLEON,
is. a great favourite with all. When they at rived first
here, it was remarked that they put up at an English
Hotel, although them are several superior French ones.
They have a very interesting girl now with them, born
in St. Helena, and named after the late Empetor NA.
PJLION. She is very proud of having been born within
the territorial possessions of Britain, and appears to have
partiality or predilection for that nation.
There is an English Chapel in the upper town, or
rather a small place fitted up as such, through the
meritorious exertions of a few public-spirited persons a
few years ago. Service is performed by the Rev. Mr.
SYMONDS. a Clergyman of the Established Church, who
is highly respected. As a preacher too, he is very much
admired. Mr. SYMONDS is assisted in his labeurS by
occasional clerical friends, and the Chapel is always
crowded.

Close to the Chapel is the prison, containing a num-
ber of English debtors.
The accounts of Mr. CANNING'S lamented death have
just reached us, and are received with very general
regret.

We mentioned yesterday the death of the Right Rev.
Dr. GOODENOUGU, Bishop of Carlisle.—llis Lot dship

Cower', Sir M. TICRNIT, Bart, and a select Party to dinner yes-

Sir FRANCIS BURDETT left town for Derbyshire two
days after the death of Mr. CANNISCI, deeply affected by the sudden
and unexpected event. The Worthy Baronet had fixed to leave
England the morning of Mr. CANNING'S death, to join Lldy BUR-
nary, at Bordeaux. Sir FRANCIS has postponed his departure from
England for the present.
Lieutenant-General Sir WM. HUTCHINSON is arrived
