Saturday a grand Rowing Match took place between seven of the best men on the River, viz. Westwood, Cobb, Maynard,Farson, Castles, Harris, and /id. The match was for 25 sots. and the distance was from Westminster Bridge to a boat moored off the Star and Garter, at Putney. From the known excellence of the men much good sport was expected, and massy bets were depending upon the issue of the match. About half-past five o'clock the men started from Westminster Bridge, followed by a number of cutters filled with persons of the first rate character and importance. At starting Cobb had the lead, and although severely pressed by his opponents be kept a-head, and was the first through Vauxhall Bridge. From Vauxhall to Putney, Cobb still kept a-head, and on passing under the centre arch of Putney Bridge be was bard pressed by Maynard, who was close upon his stern ; and it was the opinion of every person who witnessed the match, that if he had hail a few boats' length further to row he would have won the wager. Cobb, however, first arrived at the appointed spot, and was received with loud and repeated cheers from the assembled multitude. The others came In in the following order—Maynard, Farson, Harris, Eld, Westwood, and Castles. The distance, which exceeds six miles, was accomplished within thirty-eight minutes. COWES, AVOUST _ _ Monday a well-contested Rowing Match took place between teed genes; one belonging to the yacht Louisa, and the other to the Harriet (both the property of our Vice-Commodure Lord Belfast), ktoAtart from Cowes Castle round the Red Buoy. off the Brambles and back, which was won by the Letuisa'• bearing only by 10 sec.

Lord Anson was a great winner. Edward Cork; pilot, steered the Louisa. Lord Belfait bas sold his yacht Harriet to Mr. Green: RYDE, Ammar 30. The Hyde Thiyal Regatta took place on Thursday. The day being remarkably fine, a great number of yachts were off the Pier, at an early hour. The first class wherries (being the first Match) having taken their respective stations, were started at eleven o'clock, by signal from the Union 'team packet (having been kindly lent by the Company for a starting vessel,) which was to sail twice round the middk.Eastorn tbiarandne Buoy, and Western Stourbridge Buoy, passing the Union, mooted off the Pier Head, and came in in the, folloWing order, and entitled to the following prizes—his, Wm. Kemp, six sons Apollo, A. Street, five ; Prince of Orange, J. Wearn, four ; Harriet, E. Street, three ; George. the Fourth, R. Williams, two; Arrow, T. Barton; Nelson, W.

Four row galUes theu started a course, extending about three miles, round boats, each mooted, eastward and west ward of the pier, passing each time through the arches, which afforded the spectators much gratification as they passed. The prises were won as follows: Gazelle, belonging to the Roebuck, four sows. Teaser, of the Scorpion, three ; Diamond, of the Arrow, two; Eclipse, of ditto, one.—At two o'clock the second class wherries took their stations, and following the same course as the first class, came in in the following order : Emerald, J.

Drayton ; Mary, J. W heeler ; losing boats, one soy. each. There was a Ball at Heiher's Library in the evening ..n the occasion, which was at tended by the first finnihes and visitors here. About twelve o'clock last night the Duke of War,• , LINOTON arrived at his house in D iwning street, from Cheltenham; and this forenoon his Grace left town for Strathfieldsay. An interesting correspondence is at the present mo• ment carrying on between their Majesties ttie King of Sweden and Norway, and the King of the United Ne therlands, relative to the title which Prince Gustavus, the future son-in-law of the latter Sovereign, is to beat in the official communications respecting. the marriage. In its replies, the Court of ihe Hague has, as we are assured, displayed at once delicacy, politeness, and dig- nity. Some people pretend to know that the dispatches sent recently from Stockholm to General the Baron of Palmstjerna, and of which the Count of Gyldenstolf was the bearer, directed the above diplomatist to quit St. Petersburgh, and to repair to the heed quarters of the Emperor of Russia, with a view of laying before his Imperial Majesty the above , mentioned correspondence, and of obtaining various explanations ishichthe subject appears to require.—Hamburgh Reporter.

The following account of the ancient Palac,. at El• tham is given by LAMBARD, in his Preamoulation of Kent, published in 1656 Anthony Becke, the Bishop of Durham, who in the reigns of King Henry 111. and King Edward hit son, built Auckland Castle, in the Bishoprick of Durham; Somerton Castle, in Lincolnshire, and Durham Palace, at London, was (by report of Joho Leland) either the builder or first beautifier of this, the• Prince's house, here at Eltham. It is noted, in the history of that proud man, that he was in his life and port so gay and glorious, that the Nobility of the realm disdained him therefore; but they did nut consider, belike, that he was in possession of the Bishoprick of Durham, which had. Jura regalia, the prerogatives of a small kingdom, and that be was by election Patriarch of Jerusalem, which is sear cousin to a Popedom. In resFect to those things. he might well enough be allowed to have donuts splendidas luxes regali, his houses not only as gay as those of Noblemen ; but also as gorgeous as the King's own. But segmanter prodi gum rapine (pillage is the handmaid of prodigality); for, as it is the condition cf prodigal men, to catch from some, and cast to others, so this man, having gotten this and other lands by defrauding that trust which the last Lord Vesey reposed in him for the benefit of an ille_itimate son, bestowed it (as Master Camden writeth) upon Eleanor, the wife of King Edward the First, for support tion, I think, of his own haughtiness and vain glory. King Henry the Third (saith Mat.Parise) toward the latter end of his reign kept a Royal Christmas, as the manner-thus was (1270) at Ethan% being accompanied by his Queen and Nobility, and this (belike) was the first warming of the house, as I may call it, after the Bishop had finished his work. Ido not hereby gather that the King had then any property in it, for the Princes in those days used commonly to sojourn for their pleasures, and to pass their solemnities also in abbies and Bishops houses. But yet, the house came to the possession of - the Crown : for more proof whereof I pray you hear and mark what followeth The wife of Henry the Second bare unto him a son at this house, who was thereof surnamed John of Eliham. At the time King John of France, who had been pri soner in England, came over to visit King EdWard the Third, who had m ,, st honourably treated him. the King and the Queen remained at Eichorn to entertain him. King Henry the Fourth also kept his last Christmas at Eltham ; and King Henry, his son and successor, lay there at Christmas likewise, when he was Fein to depart suddenly for fern of some that had conspired to mut der him. The remains of this once gorgeous Palace are now in the occupatiiin of a farmer, and the hall, which our Norman Kings made resound with minstrelsy and re velry, is convertei into a barn. There are yet to be seen vestiges of the arts and atchitecture of the 12th century. The style called Gothic, or Arabesque, which came into Europe after the Crusader, is conspicuous.— The roof of the hall presents that prodigious quantity of ornaments which 'marked the compositions of the 12th and 13th centuries. The frame-work of the roof bears some resemblance to that of Westminster Hall; but the lequent efforts of man to prttect the building front the all-powerful scythe of Time has changed the original features. We may venture to describe ►t in the words of a Noble Bard— —" A Olefins Castle:— .-----breathing stein farewells From gay but leafy walls, where ruin greenly dwells." Tradition has affixed to the Palace of Eltham a Royal amou►, which will keep the name in memory when all traces of the building are lost. King John, on his way from the Palace at Stepney to Eltham, crossed the Thames, and landing at Charlton, saw the wife of a miller, named J.'hn Percival. She was beautiful, and the Prince became her admirer. The miller was ever upon the watch for the protection of his wife; but John, l on one occasion, contrived to obtain an interview with Dame Percival. It was, however, not so private as the King wished. The miller surprised him in a situation which shall be nameless, and drew his dirk. The Mo• narch begged his life, and promised Percival, if he would abate his resentment, to make him Lord of as much land as he could discover westward of his mill. The miller wisely pteferred property to revenge, and obtained a grant of a very considerable extent of land. To commemorate the transaction, a hare was to be caught alive on Charlton Common, on St. Luke's day, and a fair is held annually called Horn Fair. Such is the tradition, and to this day there is a custom among the warermen which has some relation to the millet's 'misfortune. The lease granted by the Crown to the manor of El tham, which conveys the land and Palace to the present _occupiers, together with the reports made by the Board of Works respecting the state of the premises, are before Eirliament, for the purpose of seeing whether any far ther repdiis can be made ; and as the subject is a topic of conversatiJn, the above extracts may prove amusing. It is reported in the p9litical circle*, that the Speaker of the House of Commons is a candidate for the office of First Lord of the Admiralty. It appears from the Gazette that 70,000 quarters of various descriptions of grain were imported during the month of July; the quantity in bond amounted on the Ist. ult. to 430,000 quarters. Tuesday, Mr. Ralph, of No. 10, Commercial-road, was knocked down at the door of a public-house in Mile end road, by a fellow, and robbed of seven sowe , reigns. PARALYTIC ATTACK orJUDGE HEYWOOD. CARMARTHIM, Auo. 29.—We regret to state that we have just learnt that Mr. Justice Heywood has had an attack of paralysis at Haverfordwest, and that the business t f the Carmarthen Ses,ions will necessarily be postponed. The Sheriff And a large company, as usual, went out in procession to meet his Lordship, when they received the above distressing intelligence, Which caused them to return. The Attorney-General. Sir Wm. Owen, in apprising the public of this melancholy event, stated that he would lose no time in transmitting an Account of it to the Lord Chancellor, who would, doubtless, make every arrangement for furthering the business of the Court, and for remedying the inconvenience which has resulted from the untortmee interruption to the trAnsaction of the legal business of the County. GREENOCK, Auo. 30. Tuesday the Earl and Coentess CATHCART and daughters arrived at Greenock from A rdgowan, ac companied by Sir M. and Lady S. STEWART. The object of his Lordship's visit was to esamiae the pro gress of improvements in the town during the long period whi:h he had been absent from it—we relieve no less than fifty years. His Lordship was immedately waited upon by the Magistrate,. and the distinguished party proceeded to the building yard of Messts. John Scott and Sons, where a flue brie, which had been ex peditiously got ready for rite occasion. was launched in capital style amidst the cordial cheers of a large col.- course of spectators. It had b: en intended t ► name this vessel the Charlotte, but the owners, with a prompti. rude which does them credit, having ,expressed their desire to the Noble Earl, that it should bear the name of one of his family, the compliment was po!ioely ac cepted, and the gallant ship was destined to plough the wave as the "Lady Cathcart." After having inspected Messrs. Scott's Chain Cable Manufactory and Anchor Forge, the visitors proceeded to the Gas Works, which are now neatly completed, and with the arrange. stunts and handsome appearance cf which they ex pressed themselves highly pleased. From thence they proceeded to Messrs. Mair's Straw Hat Manufac to, y in the neighbourhood, whet the Ladies were shown some admirable specimens of their British Leg horn, and witnessed the finishing processes per farmed on their straw bonnets. Mr. Leitch's Sugar Refinery was next inspected, and NI , . Wakefield's ingenirus plan for consuming the smoke. newly brought into operation there, explained. From thence Messrs. Ramsay 4s Ripe. work was visiteJ—then the Custom-house. and new Graving D irk—Messrs. Fairrie's Sugar Work, and lastly Messrs. Scott. Sinclair and Co.'s Foundry and Engine Manufactory, where they examined a fine steam engine of fifty horses power, in readine4 to be shipped for India. The whsle party tten proceeded to the As sembly Rooms, where they partook of a cold c-llation„ laid out by Mr. *Donald. Here Earl CATHCART took occasion to observe that, in the course of a long and active life, he had rarely spent so happy a day. At a very early period, he was pleased to add, he had con sidered Greenock as possessing many local facilities for the esertion of capital and enterprise, and had antici plted much from its progress in after years, but yet its advancement had far outstripped hip. most sanguineex prctations. His Lordship also expressed his lively sense of the receptii:n he had received, and his desire• to become mote intimately known to the Gentlemen around him. Being in the vicinity of the ancient baron'al seat, the residence of his great-grandfather, the Mode Lord embraced the opportunity of now piying it a visit, and the party did not leave town till six o'clock. CORN-EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, Sem 1. In addition to large snivels of all descriptions of Grain during the week, we were plentifully supplied this morning with New Wheat and Barley; the quality of both was very bad, which caused a tolerably bri,k demand for Old Wheat, wh;ch fully supported the price of this day se nnight ; the New sold from 40s. to 70s. per quarter. Making Barky fully maintained our last quotation: there were no buyers for the New. Beans and Peas of both kinds were very dull sok, at a reduction of 2s. per quarter.
