Baths.

Many of the Hotels have Baths attached to them, but the only Public Baths are situated near Small- broke-street, out of which there is a passage to the Establishment, which is perhaps as complete as any in the kingdom. We have not space to describe it, but recommend

The Ladywell Baths to the inspection of the public.

Amusements.

The public amusements in this town are not on a very extensive scale, nor indeed are they much patronised. The Theatre is a handsome erection, situated in New-street, opposite the Post-office. Vauxhal Gardens are at Vauxhall, near the Birmingham and Liverpool Railway Station, and are open in the summer months. Subscription Balls and Concerts are occasionally held at the Royal Hotel; there are usually several concerts in the season, and of a very high character. The Balls also are very select.
