Thursday having been fixed for the trials of skill and speed of the 2d Regiment of Bucks Yeomanry, Stowe Park became the scene of attraction to thousands. The trial of skill commenced soon after eight o'clock ; at which time there were about 2,000 or 3,000 persons assembled. The horseman starts at full gallop, and first cuts at a potatoe; he then, at a distance of forty yards from the first ()Nett, endeavours to take an iron ring front a hook on which it is suspended ; and still pro. ceeding at full speed fifty yards further, draw.' his pistol end fires :.t a target. If the horseman succeeds in cetting the premix, taking the ring on his sword's point, and in hitting the targ et. he gains three points, and the rule is, that such competitor for the prizes runs three times, so that it is possible for him to gain nine points and no more. On the present occasion the candidates were more expert then we have ever seen them. Last year, for instance, there were a number of ties at six, but now there was no chance for a person so little adroit as to get so small a number. About forty persons entered the lists. The prizes were two silver tankards, which were mon by the following persons : Mr. John Clarke, Akely 9 Mr. John Dancer, Whitfield 8 . There were besides two persons who gained seven points, Mr. J. Key, of Lillingetone, and Mr. J. F. Botterill, of Silverstone. The names of those who gained six are too numerous to mention. In consequence of there being no ties, the sport was of a shorter dura tion than usual, the trial being over by half-past ten o'clock. All then began to bend their steps towards the Race-course. A Stand was erected for his Grate the Duke of Buckingham, his Duchess, and their more distinguished friends, adjoining the starting-post, and close by a booth was also fixed for the purpose of their taking refreshments. We noticed on the Stand and Course also, The Marquis and Marchioness of Chandos, Sir George, Lady, and lilissNugent. Sir Thomas and Lady Preemantle, Sir J. D. King, Bart. Captain Wyndham and his Lady, Colonel Pigott, his lady, and Miss Pigott, Mr. Ward and two Misses Ward, &c. dec. The Yeomanry and Militia Bands began to play immediately on his Grace's arrival, which they continued to do at intervals through out the day. There could not be leas than four or five and twenty thousand persons assembled. The Races commenced soon after twelve o'clock. 'Me Course is a measured mile, marked out by posts on the• same spot where the racing took place last year.

Large sums were pending on the issue of this match. SPARRING. Yesterday, there was a fine display of first-rate talent Tennis Court, for the benefit of Ben Burn. Amongst the attractions of the day was Belcher 's 'first appear ance ; he set-to with Tom Oliver, and after a good bout an accident had nearly happened. In the set-to an] in a rally, Oliver was knocked off the stage, or at least his head part, by Belcher. He was nearly on the ground with his head downwards, when Belcher saved his fall by catching at his heels, and great applause followed. Jones, the Sailor Boy, was knocked off the stage by a mere no vice, hut he fell light six feet from the ground. Rowan Roan AND YOUNG Ges.—Gas had the misfortune, too, to be knocked off the stage, by the over-weight of Robin. The sports finished by Josh Hudson and Ben Burn, for a sove reign and half a dozen of wine. The neapire decided it was a draw. The Court was well attended, and the amateurs satisfied with the day's sport. In the evening, some of the best of the Fancy met at fe. Coo; re's, to make the deposit of Eteo for the fight between him and TIOX I N A desperate boxing-match took place lately, at Thrton-u; on. Humber, between Broadhead, a whipmiker, who has been a teacher of pugilism, and Young, a gipsy. The parties :ought on the banks of the Humber, in a 24 feet roped ring, for a purse of tea guineas.

I 1 S. 2 . 3 dr at the VAVXIIIII.I.. A gran l military gala, in commemoration of the battle of SVaterloo, to .k place at thee gardens last night. The usual brilliancy of the illuminations WAS greatly enhanced upon this occasion, by the addition of upwards of 15,000 variegated lamps, ss hich, formed into characteristic devises, and aidiee.! in . their effect by the picturesque splendour of an illuminated grove, im parted quite a maft..,,cal appearance to the scene around ; and the illu ion was still heightened by the martial strain, breathed from the orche.tra, while the banners of the diffetent nations of Europe hung waving in the night breez t, be.teath the dad: green foliage of the trees. Unfortunately, however, the unfavourable state of the weather prevented this delightful scene from being enjoyed by so many visitors as should otherwise liavo been present. The company, however, was much more numerous than could, under the circumstances, have been expected. Amongst the novelties of the evening, one of the principal was, the performance of a female juggler, who shot the ballF, brass circles, and a pair of large knives, around her with astonishing dexterity. &tole interesting new figures were intro duced into the Fantoccini; and the ballet of the Chinese tVedding was very prtttily performed by the juvenile corps. - A variety of other. entertainments followed, and were succeeded by the concert, in which the exe cution of a trumpet concerto, by Mr. Gilbert, and the overture and a battle symphony, by M. Rooke, the composer, attracted particular attention, and were loudly applauded. The amusements of the evening were crownttdi. as usual; by a magnificent display of fire•works, and Mr. Blackmore's ascent on the tight rope in the midst of them. THE Cu3IBISATIOni LAW BILL. The Bill now before Parliament " to repeal the Laws relating to the Combination of Workmen, and to make other provisions in th reof," ha. been printgd.

Tlie.Tower What f, wh ch has been hitherto a public thmoughiate, has been closed. SERA N7PoRE, EAST INCH E3.—We teen been informed, from undoubted authori y, that tidings have lint ar rived, announcing an unexampled rise in the Ganges, which has been a:tended with the most destructive con sequences. The account has been received from one of the Missionaries at Serampore, who states that the Ganges swept away, in that place and its vicinity, several hundred houses, and drowned some thousands of tfte inhabitants. The large Baptist Mis s ion-house, in which were all the printing presses, has been nearly 'destroyed, although some part of the paper and types was saved?as were all the mantisciipts. The large new College also is safe, having been built on higher ground. The venerable Missionary, Dr. CAREY, was in the IVlis sionary-house, at the time (in a convalescent state, after a fever), and a: the waters advanced, he was with difficulty removed ; soon after which the walls fell, and all was desolation. N ithing was said of Cal cutta, which lies on a different side of the Ganges to that of Serampore, an. on somewhat higher ground. The dis ister at Set ampore occurred in the night, which greatly aggravated the evil. MONUMENT TO MAr.,ft CARTWRIGHT.—Yesterby, a Meeting was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, for the purpose of carrying into execution a proposition for raising a monument to o:elate Major CA RTW RIGIIT, in commemoration of his services to his countrymen; Sir F. BURDETT in the Chair. The Chairman, in ad dressing the Meeting, said the venerable Major had been long distinguished for his incessant labours in favour of his fellow-citizens, and had proved himself to be as staunch a friend to the public as he was amiable in private hfe. Mr. BUTT proposed the first resolution, which was to erect a tuontrment to the Major, the %rattle, of which is to be under 2,000/. He had, he said, started with Major CARTWRIGHT in public life as a Refoeinsr, upon the plan and method of Dr. JEBII.- Both of them were present at t'he formation of the Society called 4, The Friends of the Psople," and the Major had shewn all through his life how well he de.. served the title by acts of the most zealous description, and connected with which there was not the slightest tie of self-interest. Mr. GALLOWAY eulogised the whole teams of the Major's life, as being solely devoted to the good of the people. Mr. HO/MOUSE said, he came , to do honour to himself by advocating the proposition. He had been on one occasion opposed to Major CART WRIGHT, but he had uniformly occasiiat to respect him ; and latterly he had tt'e high gratification of receiving the unqualified approbation of the venerable may for, the conduct he pursued. The subscriptions amounted 1 1 to 5001. The resolutions were unanimously carried:' • Sunday looming six young men took a ho.tt and' waterman, on a party of plessure to Richmond; upon their arrival there, they stayed a considerable time, and became intoxicated. •On their return they arrived in safety at Old Swan-stars, Thames street, between seven and eight otclock, when BEANE, the a inerrant:. made for the Shore, but on attempting to land Mien; they began to swear that they would not pay him kir their day's pleasure, unless he would take them beneath the bridge. The waterman finding that they were de. ter tined not pry him, utile: s they went, cone tied; and he put the bolt off—he had, however, •only jest entered beneatls the arch,' when the bodt became on. manageable and upset, and precipitated the party into the water. JVsistance was• instantly gi.en I)ut two of the six passengers sank to rise no more, and' at some distance.
