GRAVESEND.
There are few places of fashionable resort that have more im-
proved within the last half dozen years, than the town and neigh-
bourhood of Gravesend. The walks round there and Milton are
of the most delightful description, and the houses of accommodation,
with which they abound, are highly respectable. The prices are
cheap. and provision (supplied from the market held on Wechiesdaya
and Fridays) particulatly so. The short distance from town, and
the facility of conveyance by means of the Steam Packets, upon the
lowest po.•ihle terms, render Gravesefid a desirable trip to the Ct.
Oxen and others engaged in business. The town itself is not of a
very inviting description, but the scenery with which it is surround-
ed makes ample amends for the deficiency. The fine view of the
majestic 'River with its shipping, seen frosts the top of what I. called
the Miller's lull, Is grand and imposing. The soil of Gravesend is
sandy and chalky. The excavations seen front the bosom of the River,
give it all the effects of the Cliffs at Duper, and the view, though it
may not be quite so extensive, is fully as picturesque. The gardens
round this pleasant town, are so rich and' abundant, that they not
only supply the shipping with every article for culinary consumption,
, but also send houwase quantities to the metropolitan niatlets.—
. Gravesend.. has become proverbial for the delectable breakf-sts
which are to be had. Shrimps, pawns, &c. ate served up in the
highest perfection. Turbot On season) is also dressed in superior
sty!. From Gravesend, the moat prominent feature of curiosity is
Tilbury Fort, a work for national defence, of great strength and
security, though in outward appo.rnace not altogether indicative of
such qualities. Gravesend has no lack of amitsemen s. The
libraries are well stocked with the choicest works, and at the t eading
rooms ■ge to, he seen the Morning and Evening Papers. The

Bathing liou.e. are replete with everiaccornmodaticro. The Theatre
has been a soutca of great attraction—a fact nut to be wondered,
when such actors as Harley, Dowtou, Sole, &e. have lent their aid.
