AbNDON, aug, ls-NeXt 10 DelUb seen every
where in London from May to July inclusively
the most imperative thing is to DO seen out o
it Immediately after Goodwood. Then gen
eral stampede begins, and the exodus is car
ried out with far moro celebrity and despatch
than was brought to bear on the embarkatiol
of troops to Alexandria, or, to speak more
correctly, On the sending off of transports
which, on arriving, woro sometimes found t
have transported nothing Still, with all thii
haste, this vying TO bo tho first to start, W,
never forget to have our movements heralded
first az being about to go, then as having gone
We give minute itineraries to the journals
from the two acknowledged organs of societ,
not neg!ccting The Morning Post or Cour
Circular-down to such mouthpieccs as The
Referee and The Sporting Times, which viii
carry tho important notice Us TO our where
abouts 10 the low tap-room or iifth-rate eat
ing house. We may not and we actually do
not always gatto the places we have indicated;
but we choose them with keen eye
to the dictates of fashion, and the news
paper paragraph conveys cho announcement,
together with some httl9 additional fact
calculated to impress the rudience.
Thus it is gratifying to learn that the duke
and duchess of Marlborough loave Blenhcim
to visit the duke and duchess of RoXburghe
in Scotland; that another duke will entertain
but small family party till the beginning Of
September, and contomplates wiuterug at
Cannes; while Lord Dalhouaie is ordered to
Homburg, aud cannot do the honors Of
Brcchin castle to any guests whatover--which
Immediately stamps both Cannes and Hon
burg as the places where fashion, nay royalty,
should congrcgate. Ono young married
couple, reckless as becomes the first flush of
happiness, and one other duke inform tho
public that, more courageous or more
patriotic than their peers, they
will visit their tenantry in much disturbed Ire
land. A little further down the page we see
that Lady c. takes her lovely daughters to
visit Lord Y, and that tho Honorable Freder-
ick z. is among the guests. This is an ap-
proved and ingenious method of proclaimng
that the Misses C. are beautiful, and that the
Honorable Frederick r. is expected to propose
to one Of them. Read on: Mr.. D. is about
to cruise with his yacht in the Mediterranean.
