The mineral Oh. Dupin, Force commerciale de la Grande Bretngne. waters of Matlock are largely charged with carbonate of lime, and they quickly petrify any object placed in them. A few miles above Matlock we reach the confluence of the Wye and the Derwent. On the former, beautifully seated upon a wooded slope, rises the ancient town of Bakecell, near which is Haddon Hull, perhaps the finest specimen of a baronial dwelling of the fifteenth century to be met with in England. At the head of the Wye, in a bleak but heAlthy situation 1, 100 feet above the level of the sea, stands Buxton, which has been a place of resort for three hundred years on account of the virtues of its mineral waters, but owes something, too, to the vicinity of the great city of Manchester Meadows, parks, and avenues of trees environ the sumptuous dwellings set apart for invalids, whilst, far below, the Wye courses through a savage defile, the entrance to which is guarded by the Ghee Tor, a noble rock 300 feet in height. Returning to the Derwent, we soon reach Ckatsworth, the noble seat of the Duke of Devonshire, in the midst of a park 11 miles in circuit. The house contains a precious collection of paintings, statues by Thorwaldsen, Canova, Schadow, and Gibson, and a valuable library. The great conservatory in the gardens was built by Sir Joseph Paxton, the designer of the Crystal Palace, and one of the fountains plays to a height of 267 feet.
