BOULOGNE SUR-MER, JULY 27.

This favourite Continental bathing place has increased
'in popularity since the visit of the Duchess of Berri last
season, but there are not so many• English at ?resent as
at that period or the preceding years. This is mainly
attributable to the rise in the price of lodgings, &c. A
splendid .suite of looms for the accommodation of the
bathers has lately been erected here, and reneges great
'credit upon the entrepreneur, Monsieur Versial. They are
much frequented, more especially in the evening, when
they offer an agreeable promenade to the visitors and re-
sidents of4Soulogne. Although the spot selected for bath-
ing is almost- unexceptionable, yet so many accidents
have occurred from persons incautiously venturing out
beyond a certain distance, that a Humane Society-has
been formed, at the bead of which is the Prefet of
Police of this town. The successful and unremitting
activity with which the objects of this institution are,
pursued by its zealous functionaries, under the superin.1
of the Chief Magistrate, as its Pre►ident, has
been rewarded by an honourable proof of its utility in
the protection afforded by its stageurs (or swimmers) to
two women. whom their prompt and instant succour at
the critical moment rescued a few days ago from a
most perilous hazard of being drowned, from the tide
surrounding them near the Fun on the Sands.—A
lite-boat, on the'most approved principles, is also in a
forward, state of preparation, and will be launched in a
few weeks.
