ASSEMBLY ROOM.

Here is a very good Assembly Room at the Swan Inn, with a gallery for the music. The assemblies, during the season, are once a week, and the rooms three times a week, with tea drinkings every Sunday evening.

THE LIBRARIES.

The Marine Library is situated near the Parade and Bathing Machines, fronting the sea, and has been built by Barry within these few years, with a Billiard Room over it ; which, with the daily newspapers, and other accommodations, renders it a pleasant, convenient, and agreeable lounge. Mr. Norton has also lately commenced another Library nearly in the center of the Market Street.

LODGINGS.

The Lodgings here are numerous and good, several new houses having, within these three or four years, been built for the purpose of letting ; and more are in contemplation.
