I ISLE OF WIGHT REGATTA, AUGUST 19 An 40. rdal .etar, and cs verY 'wawa Th er e are some scenes of which it is difficult, if not i m possible, ible for a Reporter to give an adequate descrip tion to compensate the loss sustained by such as have not been fortunate enough to witness it ; and it is but fair to confess, that this Annual Marine Festival is one of this description. We shall, however, endeavour to give the public an outline of the proceedings, in order that those of our readers who may be familiar with the shores of the Island, and who may have enjoyed the sea breeze at times when the solent sea has rolled its wav es with less interruption from the furrowing keel, m ay imagine the effect produced when vessels of all sizes and descriptions, from the ship of war to the cockle-shell punt, were crowded together in Cowes Roadstead, in so thick array that it was a matter of skill and nicety for dr: yachts to manoeuvre among each other. Whether the Races afforded more sport than on former years, it is perhaps difficult to say; but certain it is, that more interest was excited, and that the Meeting was honoured by more distinguished visi tors than on any other occasion. The operations com menced on Thursday morning, with reference to the weather, under favourable auspices; and about eleven o'clock, an enlivening breeze springing up from the westward, enabled the pilot vessels of the district (forty five in number) to quit the harbour and proceed to the Roadstead, where they formed in line, led by the Fidelity (No. l), and the other vessels, with their respec tive designating flags, followed in succession, and passed round the buoys of the Brambles and Middle Bank, from whence they returned in order into harbour, and presented to the Sub-Commissioners of Pilotage a most satisfactory proof of the complete equipment of the vessels, amidst the acclamations of a vast number of persons assembled on both sides of the harbour to wit. Less this not the least interesting part of the spectacle. The Review concluded by three o'clock, upon which preparations were made for the Rowing Matches; and two lines of boats were seen paddling gently up the harbour, preceded by a band of music, and passing a!ong the Parade, round the Falcon yacht; and shortly after, those entered for the first match took the stations appointed for them, opposite the Parade, which was by this time thronged with a multitude of persons and hoes of carriages, as on a race-course, including the rank and beauty of the Island and the circumjacent c oast. Shortly after the signal gun being fired the hist contest began, between the Cowes boats, and the. greatest interest was created both ashore and afloat The course defined was to the westward round the Falcon }ache (Commodore Lord YARBOROUGH), stationed off Cowes Castle, and from thence eastward round Lord CRAVEN'S yacht Louisa, and the Mayfly cutter, which was pet formed five times, and after an arduous compe tition the race terminated in favour of the Willing Maid, R. STEPHENS—the second and third prizes being von by the Nell Gwynn, STEPHENS, and the Lightning, CORK& To the first three boats were awarded prizes of seven, five, and two sovereigns. The next party was now formed, between five galleys from St. Helens, in this Island, all of precisely the same dimensions, and rowed by skilful hands : and after a conte3t, to the last rendered doubtful by their keeping in so close contact with each other, the victory was decided in favour of the Dove, BUTT, who received a prize of six sovereigns. The next day drew more vessels together than the former; and the wind fieshening, everything combined to give a brilliant effect to the scene. The yachts were gaily attired with diversified flags, and the movements to and fro of the craft, of all sizes and descriptions, pre sented a panorama at once unique and animating. At twelve o'clock, the seven vessels entered for the Sailing Match were seen to take their stations in a line cff the Castle, with their sails down and distinguishing flags at their mast• heads—their respective crews waiting with Anxious impatience the signal which was to set them in motion. Presently the gun was heard from the Falcon; and it is impossible to conceive the alacrity with which the moorings were dropped, the sails hoisted, and the vessels running before the wind to the eastward. The course was round the buoys of the Brambles, and to the Falcon yacht, through the Roadstead, four times. The contest between the three foremost vessels was admir ably sustained ; and it was not till very near the goal, that victory was considered decisive in favour of either. The first prize, of thirty sovereigns, was, however, at length adjudged to the Argus, WALLIS—the second, of twenty sovereigns, to the Jane, DAVIDGEand the third, of twelve sovereigns, to the Cupid, NEWMAN. The follow* day, an interesting race took place between three yachts of the Club, for a Sweepstakes of Ere guineas each, from Cowes toads to the Nab Light and back ; it was run very closely, arid won by Mr. WEtri's Julia, Sir GEO. THOMAS'S Eliia coming in se cond, and Mr. TALBOT'S Giulia third. The Club Dinner was held at the Hotel, East Covies, on Thursday the 19th, and the entertainment, served op to a party of upwards of 100 of the members and their friends, was most sumptuous and elegant, consist ing of every delicacy the season affords, including a fine turtle, presented by the First Lord of the Admi ralty.—Ag six o'clock the Duke of NORFOLK took the Chair, supported on his right by Lord Viscount Met slue, and on the left by Lord GRANTHAM. Of the party were—the Earls of CRAVEN, CAVAN, BELMORE, and hole-nut ; Viscounts DEERHURST and KILCOUR• Mr ; Lords YARBOROUGH, BERESFORD, and H. SIM' HOUR; Admirals Sir ALEXANDER COCHRANE, Sir JOHN BERESFORD, Sir F. LAFOREV, LOCKE, and upwards of twenty Officers of the Royal Navy .2 * Sir WILLIAM CURTIS, Sir GEO. THOMAS, Sir Geo. LEEDS, and Sir JOHN CuPH, Barts. Sir HENRY FARE, Sir James GOR DON, Hon. W. HARE, T.A. Est. M.P. JAMES Masse, Esq. and a large proportion of Members of the Club.—Messrs. Evans, Collier, and Fitzwilliam, the professional singers, attended, and delighted the 'com pany with their vocal powers. Appropriate songs fol lowed each toast, and the excellence of the music cod ctibuted not a little to the enjoyment of the evening. On the removal of the cloth, Non nobis Doininc was Ong, and the usual toasts of —" The King"—" The Duke of York and the Army," and " The Duke of Clarence and the Navy," were drank, with the accom panytlig airs of God save the King, Hots merrily we l a'er and Rule, Britannia ; after which his Grace pro- Posed " The health of Lord Viscount Melville." His Lordship, in returning thanks, said it was now some years since the Club had done him the honour to ' elect him a member ; that he then felt highly flattered by the compliment, from a conviction of the importance of the Yacht Club in a national point of view : whil.t he had been connected with it, he had always felt a Leep interest in its welfare, and he had no reason to be lieve that that feeling would ever cease—(Cheers). His lordship begged to propose the health of their Noble 1 '441114u, the Duke of Norfolk. Ms Grace assured the Meeting it was a ratter of great pride to him to have bad his name enrolled on the Club List. The Earl of ILCHLST'Itit, at the desire of the visitors, begged to give— . grosperity to the Royal Tacks Club," which was drani with loud applause, as well as the succeeding toast 0f—..." The we of Wight Regatta." Lcrd DEIRHURST here rose, and having obtained permission from the Chair, would give a toast which he was confident every Gentleman who heard him name their distinguished guest, would receive with the ap probation and applause which his conduct and courage had entitled him to expect from every Englishman having the welfare of his country at heart—(Cheers). While he (Lord Deerhurst) asserted thus much, he con ceived he said no more than was due to so respected a , visitor; he begged also to assure the Military Gentle men at table, many of them of high rank and standing in the Army, that he did it with a full sense of their merits and of the honour their presence conferred on the Club ; he would repeat that, without disparagement of any, he might safely state that the noble person he al luded to was as gallant an Officer as any in his Majes ty's service. His Lordship begged to propose the health of Lord Beresford—(Great applause). Lord BERE3FORD expressed his sense of the honour done him. " The health of the Earl of Malmesbury, Governor of the Island and a Member of the Club," was drank with cheers. The CHAIRMAN then said, the next toast he would give was one in which they would all most cordially join, when he named a Gentleman to whom the Club was so much indebted—he meant the health of Mr. Ward, their Honorary Secretary—(Cheers). Mr. WARD returned thanks for the high honour done him, and for the estimation in which the Club sere pleased to hold his services. He would not, after this plod of their satisfaction, add more, than that the exer tions he had used at the formation of the Club, and the interest he had felt in it during the period of its rise to its present consequence, would with him continue unabated— (Applause). Mr. T. A. SMITH observed, he should, he was sure, easily obtain leave from the Chair to plopose the health of a Nobleman, an original and prominent member of the Club : he was one of the mainsprings of their move. ments; his example had always inspirited them, and he (Mr. Smith) believed they were unanimous in wishing his broad pennant might long be kept flying: he meant their Right Honourable Commodore, Lord Yarborough —( Loud cheers). Lord Yamsoaoucu assured the members of his due sense of the gratifying manner in which his health had been received, and his name associated with the Club. He had no wish more earnest than for the increase of their number, and a continuance of the spirit and cor diality which then animated them ; he was now well assured he was not mistaken in his opinion of their value to the maritime interest of the country, by the support and encouragement they had received from the Admiralty and the Officers of the Navy; he was now an old yacht sailor, and he trusted he had not disap pointed their expectations during the time he had had the honour of being their CommoJore; it should be his constant endeavour to promote their wishes, and, whether Commodore or not, to join in keeping alive the spirit of union which then prievailed, so long as he possesied a yicht, which would probably be as long as he lived—(Great applause). ' The health of the Naval Officers present was given, with thanks to them for their kindness and assistance on every octagon." Admiral Sir ALEx. COCHRANE returned thank.. The next toast was, " The Officers of the Army who have ho noured the meeting ith their presence." General the Earl of CAVAN returned thanks, and ex pressed his great gratification at the increase and pro. sperity of so distinguished a society. " The Ladies of the Island" was given, and drank with cheers. About ten o'clock the Duke retired, followed by most of the No blemen round him, gad the meeting shortly after dispersed. Friday, the Race Ball took place at the Hotel, the Duke of NOILFOLIC and Lord YAILIDOILOUGH, &Mardi ; upwards of 300 persons assembled, and the stewards gave great Satisfaction by their attention to the company and to the ceremonies of the evening. Saturday evening, the heavens were illuminated by a display of fireworks. Those on shore were conducted by Mr. Jones, the pyrotechnic from Vauxhall; and those afloat were played off from the Falcon, Lord YARMOILOUGH ; Louisa, Lord Owen; his Majesty's brig Calliope ; Ruby, Sir Groacts Laws ; Briton, Mr. Povru.a. ; Unicorn, Mr. Patients, and several other yachts and King's cutters. T hus brilliantly terminated a Regatta which to strangers surpassed all expectations, and which has now become an annual national festival: it will, we are sure, be recollected with feelings of delight and gratitude by the immense crowd that flocked from all parts of the kingdom to witness and enjoy it. Tug WICKHAM Muaosa.—The exertions of the offi cers to discover the persons concerned in this transaction have not yet been attended with success; the most dili gent search is making. Saturday afternoon, Taunton, the police officer, was informed that a labouring man had, at a public-house in the neighbourhood of Dui wich, confessed himself the murderer of the gamekeeper. Taunton discovered and took the person into custody, for the purpose of undergoing an examination before Sir Richard Birnie. A rusty gun was found at the lodgings of the self-accused. LIMERICK, Ana. 18.— At the funeral of the mur derers of the much-lamented Major Hare, which took place on Thursday, there were upwards of 7000 persons assembled, through which, on his way from this city to Killarney, the Right Hon. Secretary GOULEURN and his suite had to pass with a slow motion. A singular circumstance occurred at Great Marlow' Races. An elderly Lady, who had been lame for above ten years past, was so alarmed at a horse which she ex pected to run over her, that her life was despaired of for some days; she however recovered from her alarm, and what renders the occurrence remarkable, is she has been perfectly free_from lameness ever since. The following is a genuine copy of a letter addressed some years ago to a Lady of fortune at Portsmouth, up wards of fourscore years of age, by a French prisoner of war at Porchester Castle:— " Porcbester, Madam,—Me rite de English very legit, and me am very fears you no saave vat me speak ; but me be told dat you vane one very fine mans for your hosband; upon my soul me love you very well, and thou you be very old woman, and very cross, and very ugly, and all de Devil, and the English no like you, upon my soul me have one great passion for you, and me like you very weal for all dat ; and me be told dat de man for you must be one very den man, and no love de drink, me be all alit ; indeed me be one very grand man in France,itpon my soul me be one Count, me have one grand eqUipage in Prance, and me be very good for de esprit ; indeed me be one grand beau:a-la-mode, one Wilder in de regiment ; me be very good for the Engleterres ; indeed you be one very good old woman upon my soul; and if you have one iodination for one man, me be dat Gentleman for you, one grand man for you ; me will be your hosband, and take de care for yourself, for de house, for de garditt, for de Schoff, for de drink, and for de little child, dat shall come ; upon my soul me kill risyst•lf very soon, if you no love me for this grand amour.

V • el nISH ASSIZE. TYRONE ASSIZES. Friday se'nnight, a soldier of the Slth Regiment, and a man of the name of Benson, an informer, were tried for the murder of Henry Ball, and being convicted, were sentenced to be executed on Monday, the 16th instant ; but it was expected they would be respited. The pri soners were out on Revenue duty, with Mr. David Ennis, Officer of Excise, on Saturday, the 26th of June, and detected two stills at work in a small island in a little lake in the lands of Relagh, in the neighbourhood of Ir vinestown. Deceased, seeing the party approach, came out of a still-house, and getting into a cot to escape apprehension, rowed off from the island. The party called to him to come ashore, Mit refusing to do so, one of the soldiers, an inexpetienCed youth, we believe, under the directions of Hellion, fired and killed the un fortunate young man. CLONMEi., AUoUST 16. William Daniel, Patrick Tuohill, and William Ryan, were indicted for the murder of Michael, William, and Martin Kinnealy, on the 11th of July, at Knockgraffdn. After a long trial the prisoners were all acquitted, but received, before they were discharged, a suitable admo nition from the Learned Judge. AUGUST 17. TRIAL TOR CORTLARRATIOK Of TRT HOUSt or iIIMIND MITA, AND 6111INING OF ITS INIIASITSSTS. William and Darby Maher were put forward, charged with this horrible crime. John Mullally, knew one Patrick Mullally; he is dead, and saw him dead ; witness knew Edward Shea, and saw him dead; Shea's house eras burnt all to the shell ; witness took notice of the dead bodies; saw the holes where balls had entered into the bodies (4 Edward Shea and Patrick Mullally; Patrick Mullally was wit ness's son; Shea was witness's nephew ; knew Edward, Shea's body, because be had a lame leg; the house was burnt in Nuvember, 1821 ; in the morning early wit ness saw the bodies; saw the house on the day before; witness could see the house from his own house; wit ness's house way in the satne direction, opposite to Shea's. Mary Kelly was examined at considerable length, and gave a full account of the horrible transaction of the attack on the house and the burning of the family, as appeared in the public papers imrfiediately after it took place. James Phelan corroborated the evidence regarding the firing and words between Philip Dillon and people on the hill. And Daniel Butler, brother of John, cor roborated the same. This witness said he had given in formations before a Magistrate six or seven weeks ago; and had not given them before, because he was afraid of being murdered, and because also he had been told not to do it by his mother and brother. Alice Butler sworn.—Lived within two or three fields of Shea's; the night of the fire her son John came and told her the house was burned, and that Darby Maher was concerned ; on which she cautioned him not to tell that to any one, or he would be destroyed. In about an hour after the fire, her son asked if her brother Mick was within? when she told him he was not, he said she never would see any more than his burnt bones! She had another son, Edmund. Cq.ptain Drought, of the Police, examined.—Said ' that he had a conversation with the prisoners in jail ; that he cautioned the prisoner that whatever he said should be entirely optional, as he, Captain Drought, would feel it necessary to give it in evidence ; no hopes were held out, or threats to the prisoner. The prisoner said to Captain Drought, that he had a blunderbuss, and gave it away to the Priest. Francis Despard, Esq. was examined touching the in vestigation at Cloncen immediately after the burning. , None of the persons there examined, among whom were Mary Kelly and John Butler, said they knew any one concerned. The only questions put to Mary Kelly were re lative to the persons that had been drinking at her house. The case for the prosecution closed here—when Philip Ryan, a tailor, came up and swore that he slept at Darby Mather's the whole of the night of the burning, and in the same bed with him ; and that Maher could not go out without his knowledge; the evidence of this witness was very far from sufficient to produce a favour able effect on the Jury. Philip Burk was next sworn—and he was a man of fair repute ; for William Maher he deposed that on the night of the burning, William Maher left his house to go sleep in an adjoining barn ; witness locked the door after Maher went out to the barn. Other witnesses were examined, when the Jury, after deliberating for an hour and five minutes in their Jury Room, returned a verdict of Guilty against both of those most guilty and most unfortunate men. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE addressed them in lan gnage at once calculated to bring them to a sense ofi their enormous crime, by alarming their guilty fears, and of exciting hopes of mercy, by pointing them to a most merciful REDEEMER, who is ever willing to grant that mercy which they refused or did not shew to the victims of their horrid crime. They are to be hanged on Thursday next, in this town, and their bodies to be given for dissection. Shortly after the prisoners burst into sobs and tears, in which they indulged for some time. They are both rather well-looking men, very cleanly in their appear ance, and are cousins. They were removed to the jail under a very strong guard. RIOTS NEWRY. The trial of the persons concerned in the riots which took place in Newry, on the 13th of July last, came on on Tuesday, before Judge TORRaNS. The following ten persons, under the denomination of the Orange Party. were brought to the bar : Jellies M'Clelland, Robert Elliott, Samuel M'Clelland, John Moore, William M'Clelland, Samuel White, James Lawlor, William M'Cutly, John Itynne, private of the 86th Regiment, and Charles Brown, private of the same Regiment. After the examination of two witnesses on the part of the Crown, Counsel on each side agreed that the cross cause should be pro ceeded upon at the same time. The following persons styled the Catholic Party, were then put forward:—Jubn Rogers, --- Couway, Canvide s Richard Arl'Evoy, and John Racket. A number of witnesses were called upon by the Counsel for the prosecution, to establish the charges of riot and assault against the prisoners of both parties, whose names we have already gi7en. The Crown pro secuted all the parties accused of the riot; and some of the prisoners of the Orange and Catholic party had their respectiv.e Counsel to defend them against both the charges preferred against them. Had we even space to devote to the direct and cross-examination of all the witnesses brought forward an this interesting occasion, we should not devote it to the refuting of the various and contradictory testimony which was produced on the table of the Court. We shall, therefore, confine ourselves to the single statement of a fad, that both the parties produced evidence of the most conflicting na ture; and that, with the exception of Richard M' voy, • . ' whose cao appears to have been overlooked in a very singukr manner by the Jury, we can sc a rcely exce p t a single man o n either side who did not merit the verdict which was given against them. In this case ten Orangemen and five Catholics were arraigned for a riot, as well as assaults, on each ether. Both parties were heard with patience and impartiality, through the medium of their respective Counsel; and, after an horie4 and anxious investigation, the entire fifteen individuals were found guilty. After the eviden:e had been gone through, Judge TOKRENS proceeded to charge the Jury, and a fairer, more impartial, or much more eloquent charge, we have never had the pleasure of hearing in a Court of Justice in this country. The Jury then retired, and after the interval of abort an hour, r eturned with a verdict of Guilty against all, the pi isoners, O. angemen as well as Catholics. The following sentence was pronounced, by the Leal ned Judge, on the respective prisoners : ORANJE PARTY. —James M'Clelland to be imprisoned twelte months, pay a fine of 5/. to the King, and give security to keep the peace for seven years, himself in 501. and two sureties in 251. each. Lawlor and White to be imprisoned nine months, pay a fine of 404. and give security to keep the peace for seven years themselves in 501. and two sureties in 251. each. Ry nne and Br owne (the sol diers), in consequeice of a Court-martial, to be imprisoned four months. Remainder of the party to be imprisoned six months, pay a fine of 40s. each, and give security to keep the peace for seven years, themselves in 251. and two sureties in 101. each.

The whole of the Ist Battalion (Duke of Yoait'S Own) Rifle Corps, 60th Regiment, having arrived at Chatham from Quebec, are about to be re-funned under the command of Lieut.-Colonel • Buitimae ; the Foreign Officers of this Regiment having been placed on half-pay or ordered to join the 2d Battalion, in the West Indies. It is in future to be placed on the same footing and esta blishment as the Rifle Brigade. This corps particularly distin guished itself during the whole of the Peninsular war, being then the sth Battalion, and his the peculiar honour of having the il lustrious Costauxita-sx-Cants for its Colonel : they are at pre sent nearly 300 strong.
