COWES, NOVEMBER 4. Yesterday was launched from Mr. W.'fftrE's New- Dock, at this port, a beautiful West India ship, of 340 tons, built for THOMAS KING, Esq. one of the Elder Brethren of the Trinity House. The slip from which she descended being of some elevation, her glide to the water was grand and imposing, and af forded the highest delight to an immense assemblage of spectators, among whom were discoverable many Bean of Fashion and Beauty. She was named the Harmony, by Miss WARD, of Northwood House, who so adroitly directed the baptismal-bottle at the mo ment of the ship's move, that it drew forth reiterated plaudits from the surrounding multitude. This day the riggers have fixed her three masts ; ani it is said by Saturday night her rigging will be com pletely finished, and the Harmony ready for sea.— Went out of the Dry Dock, last Tuesday, the Ame rican brig Clituo, after being completely coppered in two days.

The HASTINGS, 74, arrived at Hastings, is the teak vessel so much talked of, the first or her class built at Bombay, and intended as a present to the British Government. She was found unfit for the service originally calculated, and on her voyage was compelled to put into the Isle of France, and to un dergo a reduction of 300 tons in her measurement. The Hastings brings home a considerable part of the crew or the Canalva, unfortunately wrecked on ithe island of Cargados ; and we are happy to learn, that confident expectations are entertained of saving a material portion of her valuable cargo. Mr. AYRES, the Purser, remains with the wreck, actively engaged in superintending the requisite operations. MANCHESTER, NorEmßl:fi 3. PRIVATE LETTER. Considerable sales of Cotton were effected to-day, but without any advance; indeed the price is now considered as stationary, the demand b,ing regular, and the stock on band unusually great, with freih importations daily coming to marker. Notwithstanding the unf►vourable state of the weaving trade, the persons employed in which form so considerable a part of our population, this town has been for some time past increasing in an enor mous ratio, both in buildings and inhabitants. In every direction around us, new streets and clusters of houses arise, with a rapidity truly astonishing, The town of Salford, in particular, fully justifies this observation; for, if you absent yourself for a few days from an accustomed perambulation in the su burbs, your eye, at the next visit, is met : by whole ranges of new houses, which have sprung up as if by magic. These are not empty speculations; for great as is the number of houses that are continually being built, they are ire general let some time before they are tenantable, and in many cases as soon as the .foundations are laid.

ILicrso Casa.--A Subscription Plate of Fifty Guineas, added to a Sweepstakes of fi ve guineas each, was advertised tu be run for on the second day of the last Stafford Meeting, and woo by Lord Rosswou's horse Taptoo.—The Race was claimed by the second horse, it being *fledged, that 4 ' It was contrary to the Racing Law, that two horses, belonging to one person, should run for a Plate." DacissoN—" The Race is to be considered a Sweepstakes, and therefore abrogates the Plate Laws." BOXING. Maly* AND Scaooonts.—Tuesday evening was the time for making good the stakes between these heroes of the fist, who had engaged to fight for 50 guineas a-side. Scroggins's party forfeited the 101. deposit ; and after a free circulation of liquor, a guinea was given by Scroggins to make a new match for 1001. aside on the Sth of December in a 24 feet ring, not less than 20 miles frog London. A letter has been received from the Continent from one of the pugilists, on his way to the seat of Congress, at Aix-la-Chapelle, wherein he says— " We expects in a day or two to reach Ode, Cherie!, where we'll spar before the great posentots and the other xmitenstleries. Tls said Tom Belcher is censssing to Kungres, but that's all gam mon, and we doesn't want him fur an Empire.—Caleb Bald win's Bug would be a good spec there." Saturday, the silver bowl, given by the Royal Company of Archers, Edinburgh, was shot for in Hope Park, and gained by WILLtAm ROBERTSON, Esq. '75, Great King-street.—Saturday se'nnight the St. Andrew's Cross, presented to the Royal Company of Archers by Sir UrRORGE STEWART MACKENZIE, of Coul, Bart. was shot for and won by Jour %VAT son, Esq. The Northern Meeting, held at Inverness on Wed nesday the 21st ult. was well attended, and went off with that social harmony and spirit of enjoyment for which it has hitherto been characterised. The wea ther was uncommonly fine, and the Inverness harriers afforded the Gentlemen excellent sport. Mr. Srawit RT MACKENZIE of Seaforth, and the Hon. Mrs. FRASER of Lovat, sent in abundant supplies of venison, muir fowl, and ptarmagan. Miss O'Netxx performed one of her favourite cha racters last night, at Bury, and is to appear in another there this evening—the latter for her own benefit. The play of the Mountaineers, performed at the Manchester Theatre by Amateurs, for the benefit of the House of Recovery in that town, produced nearly three hundred pounds. The Proprietors of Covent-Garden Theatre, in con sequence of the great success that has attended Miss SOMERVILLE'S appearance, have ordered an imme diate advance to her salary. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, who is considered as a bold rider, had nearly met with a serious accident, a few days since, while hunting. He was riding over a track of what is called rotten land, and thrown out of the stirrups. He escaped, however, without being much hurt. The Baronet is at his seat, Ramsbury Manor, Wiltshire, and he was hunting with Mr. WARD'S hounds. Sunday afternoon a shocking accident happened in the New Town, Edinburgh. An English Gentleman, residing in one of the hotels, happening, as is sup posed, to stumble on the pavement, fell upon the railing of an area, one of the pikes of which entered below his left jaw, and the point came out near the ,eye. Although quickly relieved, and carried to the Infirmary, the unfortunate Gentleman died a short time thereafter. CANOVA.—This celebrated Artist, on his late visit to London, was received and honoured with particular distinction by the PRINCE REGENT. He then engaged to design and execute a certain number of classical grouper and single figures for his Royal Highness, the choice of the subjects being very properly left to the artist himself. CANOVA has for some time been employed in the execution of an engagement, in which he proceeds con amore, and he has already made considerable progres in his undertaking. The three Graces are finished, and they are mentioned by those who have seen them in the artist's study at Rome, as unrivalled specimens of mcdern art. He has also com pleted his fine monument of the late Cardinal YORE, for which it will be recollected the PRINCE REGENT contributed &liberal sum, when the ancient works of art in the Gallery of the Louvre were restored to the Vatican. • In the inscription on the monument, which is erected in the noble Church of St. Peter's, the Cardinal is stiled HENRICUS IX!—An aukward mistake was at first committed in sculpturing the Royal Arms, which were probably copied from a modern British coin—and accordingly the armorial bearings of the House of Hanover were introduced before the anachronism was noticed. The blunder, however, was rectified, and the White Horse is now erased from the .L:,'ltteid of the Stuarts. LAW 11•17.'ELLIGEN4. _ -_ COURT OF CHANCERY, NOVEMBER 1. NEW LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.

Mr. Downgswau. moved, that the Defendani should be at liberty to pay into Court the sum of £3279. 2s. and that farther proceedings be stopped until an inquiry that was pending relative to a st, of £995 should he determined. Considerable money transactions had taken place between the patties, disputes having arisen, the matter was referred arbitration. The award was in course made, which it was declared, that the above sum of 1:5275 was to be paid over. The defendants when before the arbitrators objected to paying the aforesaid of £995, on the plea that they had been taken surprise, the previous bill having taken no notice . that sum. On these considerations the Learned Counsel prayed that a stop should be put to the ceeding for a month, in order to have that question decided. The Soucyroa-GENERAL affirmed, that the sent application was merely for the purpose of venting the plaintiff from availing himself a situation in which he would stand on the first of Term. The time had been twice enlarged ahead and under all the circumstances he submitted, • the delay sought for ought not to be granted. Mr. DoWDESWELL observed, the inquiry had 'glace before the discovery relative to the £995 lihsen The LoaD made. CHANCELLOR said, that the parties plying could not retard proceedings, unless Imuld make out that the claim for the sum in Lion was an unjust one. They ought to have applied to the Court of King's Bench. The prelent applic? Lion came too late, and must be dismissed. Motion of course rejected, with costs. The LORD CHANCELLOR then asked the Solici General, Mr. Hart, and the other leading Counsel severally, whether they had any motions to male, and was answered in the negative. The Court adjourned very early. No all whatever was made to a late melancholy event. LORDSHIP was evidently much dejected. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. The VICE-CHANCELLOR sat for twenty minor, only. A general gloom pervaded all in both Courts, and there seemed on the part of Counsel and ' citors no wish to enter into any business that possibly be avoided. The death of Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY will cause great distribution of business among the Counsel, at the Chancery Bar. A Junior Ki Counsel received on Tuesday twenty-one retai from Solicitors who were in the habits of gi their briefs to Sir SAMUEL. ' The death or Lady ROMILLY will be felt severely by the unfortunate.
