    WARMBRUNN, In Silesia, is placed at the foot of the Riesen- gebirge, about a league distant from Hirschberg ; it contains two thousand inhabitants, and can ac- commodate an equal number of visitors. The edi- fices most deserving notice are the convent; the chateau of Count Schaffgotsch, to vrhichis attached a garden, serving as a public promenade; and the bathing establishments, which consist of the Gal- lery, a building used for assemblies and play; the Probstei-bad, and the Graffliche-bad, in each of which from thirty to forty persons can bathe at the same time. There are some bathing cabinets, which, however, are seldom required, as it is cus- tomary for patients to bathe together, as at some of the Swiss baths. Bathers are divided into three classes. The first class bathe earlier than the others, for which privilege each person pays two rix-doUars a week ; the second class pay less; and the third, which consist chiefly of poor persons, pay a very trifling sum. Vapour baths are also much employed. Most visitors dine at one or other of the tables d'hote; the one at the Gallery is the most numerously attended. Families and invalids
