The Sweep9akes on Monday feemed decidedly { in favour of Mr. Kirwan, who, though near r3R. rode with a grace and (kill which would not have difgraced a veteran fportfman. The weather was very bad, which fpoiled in a great meafure the died, and the rain foon drove away thofe who had no other defence from it than open carriages; but the amateurs remained till late, regardlefs of its fury. As none but Gentlemen were allowed to ride, khe betting was very !har p, and particularly in the matchetween R.fculapius and Fergus. The !knowing onet were taken in. The young Earl of Witirloa ATE has recently been prefented by his MAltsry with a pair of co lt:airs iit the jd Regiment of Guards. The 14th Light Dragoons art under orders for Weyrnouth ; and the York Hears, at prefent there, are to go to the depot id the Ifle of Wight. On Wednefday fix troops of Lieutenant General Eakaron's Light Dragoons (the 14th) marched from Roinford Barracks, on their route to Wey mouth, to cOltplete the Corps ordered to attend their MAJEsTIis it that plate. With a laudable attention to military defert, his MAJESTY, we are informed, has it in contempla tion to fill up the late sth Dragoons with the Of ficers, and fuch of the men of the 26th Dragoons as are fit for fervice. This regiment is fAid to be daily expel ed in England from Egypt, in conic.- quence of orders ailed tome months lince. An aCtive and trying fervice of (even years in the Weil Indies, Portugal, and Egypt, appears to have fixed the lloyal attention. Military arrangements on the Peace Ellabia stunt, both in England and France, feem now to be the eider ehe day. On this bead, the papers of Muth countries are replete with information. In Fr.incc, the redneions are now taking place with rapidity, in confequence of the meafures of a Ilmi lar nature which have been adopted in all other min:ries.

This is the greatell aid with which agronomy can furnifh navigation, and nothing more is wanting for finding the longitude at fea with the utmoft accuracy. The horary tables which I publifhed in 1793, for finding the hour at fea, renders this part of the calculation fo eafy, that it may be executed by the mat unexperienced navigator." MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL RETORT. — The fea fon fince our Fan has fill continued favourable for the grain crops, and they in general, throughout the kingdom, look promifing. The different flight Showers of rain that have fallen lately have contributed to give them great verdure and flrength. The fallows have likewile been unufually well-pre. pared, from the weather being fo !liftable for fuch operations of hufbandry. The average of wheat is 675. tod, and of oats 19s. 9d. Potatoes, as well as peak and brans, are alfo, in moft diftriels, pro miring. The want of rain during the laft month, and the extraordinary feverity of the frogs in the commencement of it, have, however, been very prejudicial to the hay-crops in roof parts of the ifland ; in many places, even among the ben hay. di (bids, there is but a very indifferent appearance of a crop; and where the L , rafs has been cut, it is Paid to turn out very light. Hay in St. James's Market averages 51. Pafture lands have, in molt of the dry gravelly foils, been greatly hurt by the want of rain,though the late fhowers haverefrefhed them much. In Smithfield Market, beef fetches from 45. 4d. to ss. 6d. ; mutton from ss. to ss. 6d. and pork from ss. to ss. Bd. Turnips, on the moifcr forts of foils, have in general a good ap pearance ; but on the very dry ones, they are not fo favourable.

LICHT-HOUSE IN THE BALTIC. For tit:. fecui ity of wafting veffels in the. Baltic, a new Lighthoufe has been ereetcd on the fouthern Point of'('elder, named Giedfer Odd,. To pre ferve the flame Ready in all weathers, it is covered with a fcaffolding, one fide of which is a wall co vered over with a brats plate to increafc the light. ThisLighthoufe will be fira lighted onAugull and in future from Eater to Michaelmas, will burn from one hour after funfet to funs ife ; and from Michaelmas to Eager from halt an hour after funlet to funrife. Betides this, a (lake, with a Black Buoy, has been fet up as a caution againit the dangerous (boal indelen, which lies S. E. t E. of the Point of Giedfer, at a diftance of three quarters of a league off the high bank, in a dired line wish the white painted tower. When a (hip failing by perceives the Black Buoy immediately before the White Tower, it is then in a direet line with the fhoal, and.in order to be fafe mull hold nil' a league from the fhore. A (hip failing from Well; to Eaft efcapes the fhoal when the Buoy is per ceived ltanding free from the Weft fide of the Tower, and on the contrary in coming from the Eafi, when it is perceived in• like manner free and difengaged from the Eatt fide of the Tower. LIGHT HOUSE AT OSTEND. This Light-houfe is fituated to the north of the town, fifteen toifes from the bottom of the dyke, and t to from the extremity of the mole, eaft of the port. Its elevation above the level of the fea is 8o feet. It confiffs of three reverberators inclofed in a lantern of a hexagonal form, five feet in diameter. The three faces of which, towards the fta, are furnithed with glafs, and thole towards the land with tin plate painted black. From the 15th of Meffidor next (July 4, 1802.) it will be kept constantly lighted from (1(v-fall to fun rice, and in clear weather may be obfcrved by velrels at lea at the diltance of three leagues. This Light houfe, which is of great importance, as it is the only point of diregion in the night time between the island of Walcheren and the Pas de-Calais, will enable veffels coming from the north to avoid the coafi, by affording them the means of appreciating the difiance, and will guide them in the manoeuvres to be made during the night to get to the windward of the port of (Mend. Between the N. E. five degrees N. and the N. W. W. of the Light-houfe, and about three leagues difiance, (hips are abfolutely clear of the (howls, which in the night-time render the ap. proach to this port fo dangerous. On the moll eaftern of thefe fhoals there are no more than to feet of water at the loweft tides ; its m weftern point is fituated N. E. five de-,, grecs N. of the Li ht houfe, at the diftance of league, and at the diftance cf a league from the coaft, to the north of Klemfquerque ; it ex tends Et. N. E. for the fpace of +.league. • The fecond lhoal, which is in the well, and on which their remains only to feet water at the loweft tides, has its eaftern point W. N. W. of the Light houfe, at the &lance of 2t leagu9s, and N. N. W. of Middelkerque, at tlic diftance of a league; its direetion is W. S. W. it is a league in extent, and its diftance from the coati is if league. The third bank, called the &room, is diflant from the coaft about i league ; its eaft point on which there are (even or eight feet of water, is N. E. N. of the Light-houfe, at the diftance of league. Between this eaft point and the N. W. of the Light-houfe there are feveral points of the fhoal, on which there remain only three feet of water ; and from the N. W. of the Light-houfe, to the N. of Werthende, the direttion of the wellern ex tremity of the lima], there are fix or feven feet of water; however, N. and S. of Middelkirque veirels may crofs it in it, 12, and 13 feet of water. The weliern point of the Strom; is about two thirds of a league ditlant from the coat. It is between the land and the Stroom that the (mall harbour of Oftend is fituated. This har. boor is narrow. The anchorage is bad in from 18 to ao feet of water. Large from the &room, and at the diflance of + of a league from the coaft lies the great har bour of Offend, in 3o or 35 feet water ; the an chorage here ought at all times to be preferred to that of the leiter harbour. There are to the north of Mend two deep bot toms of from Is to 20 feet water. That molt at large is two leagues diftant from the land. The nearelt is diftant It league. Between the latter and the Stroom is the great harbour of Oftend. Every veil defined for this port, and which approaches it in the night-time, mull therefore 'Beer large on defcrying the Light-houfe, which can alone be a proper guide to enable it to get into port. Should a perfect knowledge of localities or im perious circumilancei induce navigators to ma noeuvre, in order to enter Offend in the night time, they ought not to attempt to enter till the two lights are lighted ; they mull then keep them near each other till they obferve the extremity' cf , the weftern mole. The two lights will not ren‘ain lighted but two hours before and two hours after high water. One of them is fituated at the falieht angle of the baftion ; the other oppofite to the gut.- powder manufaaory; they are not vifible but from the great harbour, being only 40 feet above the level of the fee at high water, and having only a beak of reverberated light inclofed in a lantern a foot and a half in diameter, to prevent them from being confounded with the Light-houfe. N. B. The dillances arc crprefted in leagues of so to a degree. The foundings are for the loweft tides, and the bearings are by the compel's. Ihe declination beinw from 21 to 22 W.
