of KENT, and • their illustrious relatiyes, upon their
marriages. The entertainment commenced with a
dinner, which was served up with great splendour.
Preparations were made for the evening party upon
an extensive scale. At nine o'clock a detachment of
the Life Guards marched into Pall Mall, Waterloo•
ewe, *e. uadev the direction of Totresartzt,-feeisat.
and a numerous assemblage of Bow-street constables,
to regulate the carriages, &c. A guard of honour,
under the command of Colonel GORE, preceded by
the band of the 3d regiment of foot guards, marched
into the Court-yard of Carlton House. The Court-
yard was additionally lighted. The band of the
Coldstreim regiment of foot guards were stationed
in the Conservatory at the west end of the suite of
rooms. Among the company were—
Prince Erterhary, the Austrian Ambassador; the Marquis
crOsnieed, the French Ambassador; the Duke de San Carlos,
the Spanish Ambassador; Mr. Rush, the American Minister;
the Danish Minister, ant several other Foreign Ambassadors

The Duke of YORK allowed the late Mr. ltosn to
retain the office of Deputy Warden and Keeper of
the New Forest, doting his life, but his Royal High-

and to transact the other business of the office, with
the mere assistance of a Steward. He holds his first
Court at Lyndhurst, on the 24th, and gives a grand
dinner on the 25th.
Monday, Mr. KIRKMAN FINLAT gave an elegant
entertainment to his friends in Rutherglen. He was
supported by the patriotic Members for the Counties
of Lanark and Renfrew. The business of the day
was conducted much to the satisfaction of the public-
spirited Gentlemen present. Lord ARCUIRALD HA-
MILTON, in proposing Mr. IFINLAT's health, after
paying his friend many handsome compliments, ob-
-:eryed, that his politics had greatly improved since
he came into Parliament, and that another seven
years would leave him as firm a Whig as apy of the

company.
Among the numerous and varied entertainments
at Vauxhall Gardens, it is but justice to notice the
inimitable performance of My . and Mademoi-
selle SAtzut. The surprising intrepidity of the for-
mer has long been considered as incomparable, but
the very elegant manner in which they performed the
Pas-deux en allemande on the double rope last Wed-
nesday, far exceeded any thing we have hitherto ex-
perienced. The Gardens this season have sufficiently
evinced, that nothing was wanting to complete the
amusements of this delightful scene of recreation. We
noticed, on Wednesday eve Ling, amidst several thou-
sand visitors—
His Royal Highness the Mice of Cumberland, the Marquis
and Marchioness of Salisbury, Lord Stanley, Lord Coleraine,
the Idarquisand Marchioness of Downalaire; Lady Belgrave, Zcc.
Tuesday morning, betweer twelve and one o'clock,
one of the trees oppposite to the Episcopal chapel in
Glasgow, injured last winter by stormy weather, was
discovered to be on fire. The circumstance was re-
ported to the Superintendent of the Fire-Engines,
and the fire was extinguished.
A country lad of the neighbourhood of Coperba-
gc;:, having lately hid himself down in th_ field to
sleei:, a snake crept into his mouth, which was open,
and descended into his stomach ; after having re-
mained there for some days, it came out again alive
by the same way it had entered.
During the last mouth, the number of births at
Boutdeaux was 245, and of deaths or.iy 119.
