Duchess of Kent would honour the house with their
presence at entertainments which they were sap-
posed to have specially desired, Kob Roy Macgregor,
with The Miller and his Men, the theatre was 611 ed

on the second tier, at the left hand, and being at
once recognised, were immediately greeted with loud
and continued plaudits, concluding with a general
call for God sore Ike King, which was song by the
whole assembled company. The business of the
stage then proceeded, to which the Royal Duchess
and her illustrious consort paid the greatest.attention.
The performers seemed to be peculiarly animated.
Miss STEPHEN! sang in her best style, and, with
SINCLAIR in the first duet, was loudly encored. At
the conclusion of Rob Roy, Mr. F Awcwrr came

OR Wednesday everting the PRINCE REGENT gave
a grand entertainment al Carlton-house to the Duke
and Duchess of CLARENCE, the Duke and Duchess of
KENT, and their illustrious relatives, upon their mar-
riage,. The entertainment commenced with a dinner,
• hich will served up with great splendour. Prepara-
tions were ,made for the evening perty upon an ex.
tensive scale. At nine o'clock a detachment of the
Life Guards marched 610 Pall-mall, Waterloo-planes
&c. under the tlirevion of fpwnannn, SAYER. and al
fIUMPf4OO9 arieMblige of Row-gireet Constables, to

the command of Col. Gone, preceded by the band
a. the 31 regiment of Foot Guards, marched into
the cow t.yard of Carlton.hoese. The court-yard was
additionally lighted. The band of the Coldstream
reginsew of Foot Guards were stationed in the Con-
servatory at the west end of the suite of rooms.
Among the numerous and varied entertainments
et Yamahall Gardens, it is hut justice to notice the
inimitalde performance of Madame and Mademoi.
selle SAQUI. The surprising intrepidity of the for.
mer has long been considered as incomparable ; but
the very elegant manner in which they performed
the Par-deux ea alkniande on the double rope
last Wednesday, far exceeded any thing we have hi-
therto experienced. The Gardens this season have
sufficiently evinced, that nothing but the favourable-
ness of this weather could he wanting to complete the
amusements of this delightfUl scene of recreation.
It is an important fact, that this island never suffered
a famine from drought; but every time that calamity
has befallen it, it was ham rain. In 1257, from
much wet, wheat rose to 12s. a sack. In 1270 was
a great- scarcity, in consequence of rain. In 1310
and 1335, in consequehee of much rain, *heat sold
at 20s. a sack, and strong beer rose to lid. 'the
gallon. In 1430 and 1527, in consequence of rain'
at harvest, wheat sold at 13s. 4d. the sack.' These
are a few of the many instances that may be produced
in support of the old adage, " A dry summer never,
, hurts Old Wand."
