DOVER, AUGUST n. 'ne Bay of Dover, so admirably formed for the highly popular national amuiemeni of Regattas,, will exhibit on Thursday the 7th of September next, a display of skill in boat racing and saling, particularly between two rival boats' crews of Dever and Folkestone, and the interest this must excite will be much indeased, should a ch illenge which has bern sent to the boatmen at Deal be accepted. The display of vessels arrd boats on this cccasion, the whole within view of every - past of the heights and shore, will, no doubt, riot only be gratifying to the spec. tators, but also call for the admiration of professional naval characters, and the pursuers of yachts' sailing, many of whom it is hoped will take a cruize to Dover, to witness this interesting scene. The inhabitants anti cipate a grand gala day, and the arrival of numerous visitors, both afloat and on shore, may be expected, ihdeed, there is every reason to suppose that the town w 11 be well filled. The Regatta is under the direction of the Right Hon. the rail of Liverpool, as Patron, and R. H. Jenkin son, Esq. as Vice-l'atron ; and a Committee, consisting of the Mayor of Dover, Admiral Winthrop, Admiral Bazely, Capt. Edward Boxer, R.N. Cap. W. Boxer.lt.N. and John Ward, Eq. Honorary Member of the Royal Yacht Club. Subscriptions towards the races have been received, to the amount of 1301. and much more may be expected, as the public seem to feel, that at the same time they are contributing to a source of amusement, they are also rewarding and encouraging a very meritorious class of seamen, whose readiness to render assistance at all times to vessels in distress, at the imminent risk of their own lives and property, is so well known, and who are at present, together with their large families,suffering severe privations, from the want of sufficient employment.

The day being beriuti fully fine, and the Navy Board present, drew a vast concourse of . spectators to the spot. A number of yachts, decorated with 1 4 streamers waving in the Wind," and a good band 'of music, playing the favourite Na. - Copal Airs, added much to the amusements of the evening. Lady CAvasort did herself the honour of naming her ; and just at the moment she glided ma• jestically into her native element, a salute was fired from the Revenue cruizen in the harbour. Flats.— Monday night, between ten and eleven o'clock, wire broke out at a house in Cree-court.. Ban ser-street,•St. Luke's. No person was in the house at the time but a young man, a lodger, who had retired to rest some time before. By prompt exertions the in jury was confined to the apartment where it com menced.—Yesterday afternoon, about half-past three o'clock, a fire broke out in the attic story of No. 40, Doughty -street, near the Foundling Hospital, which tor some time raged with the greatest fury and threat ened destruction to the whole house and those adjoining ir.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. _-.......- . LANCASTER, Avourr 21. PLIGHT OF W. WAKEFIELD FROM HIS BAIL _ _ Public curiosity, which was highly excited in this town and neighbourhood, by the expected trial of tkis individual to-day, has been painfully disappointed by his unexpected flight and disappearance. At a late hour last night, persons in the confidence of his family intimated, with very significant gestures, that his trial would certainly net take place at these Assizes; but the intimation was considered as nothing more than part of the impudent swagger' with which their friends have' conducted themselves here, and was not judged worthy of the slightest credit. Tfiough nobody conceived that W. Wakefield would abscond tiorn justice, the annun ciation that he had done so has not created much sur prise. His friends say that he has put off his trial for the present, in order that he may not disclose his brother's defence; but how his defence can injure that of his brother, if his brother has any valid defence, is a point which many people declare that they are incapa ble of perceiving. Notwithstanding the rumours of William Wakefield's flight, which had got abroad during the night, the Court was filled to excess at an early hour this morning.— Crowds of Ladies succeeded in gaining entrance, but many more were refused admittance. They ranged themselves on the bench and in the galleries, and a party of fair Quakeresses even took their seat in the prisoners' dock. The attendance of Counsel was unusually full, and many Magistrates, unable to reach the seats gene rally reserved for them, were seen standing in the crowd. By the kindness of Mr. Higgins, the Governor of the Gaol, whose civility on all occasions we are glad to acknowledge, a portion of the Court was set aside for the Reporters to the different Newspapers, and they were admitted to it without any difficulty, after the first rush of strangers had subsided. A common Jury was then empanelled. ` At half past nine o'clock, Mr. Justice PARK took his seat upon the bench, and shortly afterwards desired that Mr. Attorney General and the Counsel engaged in the prosecution of Wm. Wakefield should be informed that he was in Court. A short pause ensued, during which a great sensation was excited in the box assigned to waiting jurymen, by a proclamation made by one of the officers, that Jury men were wanted is the other Court. Each Juryman looked wistfully at his brother, but none of them ap peared inclined to stir. Mr. Justice PARK observing their hesitation, told them that they must go--it was very important to themselves that they should go quickly—for if they did, the Court would in all pro bability complete its business to-day, and they would be enabled to return to their families to-morrow. The thoughts of home, in general so powerfully attractive to Jurymen, had lost their charm on the present occa sion—for not a Juryman stirred in consequence of the Learned Judge's admonition. He was obliged to repeat it a second time ; and then, but not till then, did a few stragglers leave the box, casting 4 , many a longing, lingering look" on those whom they left behind them. Mr. Justice FARM'S attention being diverted by the conduct of the reluctant Jurors, was directed with re doubled energy towards the Counsel. He again ad dressed one of the officers of the Court, and said rather warmly, " Do go, Sir, and tell the Counsel in the ad joining room, that I am staying for them here." Mr. BROUGHAM sh3rtly afterwards came into Court; but neither Mr. AtTORNRY GeNeRAL, nor Mr. SCAR• LIII7, nor Mr. Serjeant CROSS, nor Mr. TINDAL made their appearance at all. The Learned Amos then asked where the defendant W. Wakefield was/ Being informed that he was not present, he desired the crier to call him upon his re- cogniunces. Proclamation was then made three times for W. Wakefield to come forth, save himself and his bail, or forfeit his recognizance& In consequence of W. Wakefield not appearing on these repeated summonses, his recognisance. were ordered to be estivate& Proclamation was then made in similar manner that David Davies, of Macclesfield, in the county of Chester, Doctor in Divinity, should come forth and bring for ward the body of William Wakefield, whom he had undertaken to have that day in Court, or that he should forfeit his recognizances. As the Rev. Doctor could not comply with the con dition of his recognisance:, they, too, were ordered to be entreated. So, too, after similar proclamation, were those of John Cuthbert, Esq. of B.onehouse, near Bro.rd stairs, in the parish of St. Peter's, in the Isle of Thanet, in the county of Kent. Mr. Justice PARE asked, whether there was any 'reason to suppose that the defend tnt intended to appear in Court, or whether he was only prevented from at tending by. the crowded state of the avenues leading to the Court? Mr. Daunt's!, of Manchester, the Attorney for the Wakefield:, replied, that W. Wakefield .was nbt in Court, nor likely to be so. kir. Justice Pass—Ob I hir,,Denison, 2 dld not see you. Have you any reason to suppose that the defendant will be here ? Mr. Dionsoat—My Lord, the defendant certainly will not appear. Mr. Bsouou*K—My Lord, I have to wove that not only 'Wm. Wakefield's recoguisanees, but also those of Dr. Davis and of Mr. Cuthbert ►e 'wrested. Mr. Justice Pamc—l have given orders to that effect. The re cognisance' of Wts. Wakefield, and also of his recognitors, are declared forfeited. Mr. Baostatsam—l have then to move, your Lordship, as the defendant Wllliam Wakefield has absconded, to issue against him a Bench warrant. Mr. Justice PA mec--1 . 11 issue my warrant against him immediately ; but you are aware, Mr. Brougham, that my warrant will not extend beyond this county. You must apply to a Judge of the Court of King's Bench, if you wish for a warrant that will extend all over the kingdom. Have you prepared the warrant ? A short consultation here took place between Mr. Justice Park and Mr. Hopkins, the Cleric of the Arraigns. After it was finished, Mr..Justice.PA RS turned round to Mr. Brougham, and again addressed him. " 1 wish you would consider. Mr. Brougham, is point on which I have some doubt. It is not about issuing my warrant, for o• that I have no doubt, but about the form of it, namely, that he be brought before me here, or in the co.inty, or before some one of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace., The question is, have I power to say that t.e shall give 4.8 hour.' n Lice of bail to the prosecutor ? My wari - ant, you know) is under the presets; circumstances a bailablr f warrant, and he is entitled to bail under it. Though he has forfeited his bail in the present case, that circum stance does not prevent him froth giving bail again, and from forfeiting it again, if he so pleases.. I have some doubt, whether I ought to let the warrant run in the usual form, or to put in some clause respecting the notice of tied. The latter course would be a limitation of the power of the Magistrate; and to limit his juris diction would, lam afraid, be to infringe it. I have been asking Mr. Hopkins, whether he recollect s any Instance of a Judge's warrant heing - issded in this county• under circumstances at all similar to the present. One of my clerks, who, before he was with me, was clerk to a Judge of the Court of King's Bench, says that he has prepared warrants, wherein nothing was said about notice of bail. But there the warrant was issued by a Judge of the Court of King's Bench, and that makes all the difference between the two cases." Mr. HOPKINS was understood to say, that he recol lected a case from Liverpool, where, under similar circumstances, they did insert in the •warrant words relative to Vie notice of bail. Mr. BROUGHAM was of opinion, that the words need not be inserted in the warrant, because as soon as ever he was taken, he must give notice of bail to the Magis trate before he could be discharged. Mr. Justice Etat —Under such circumstances, I shall certainly leave it to the discretion of the Magis trates; and I have no doubt that they will exert all due caution upon the occasion. Then turning to Mr. Hop. kins, 41 The warrant dues not want my signature; we are sitting here in Banco."_ After tlie case was thus ended, Mr. COLTMAN, who was of Coun sel for the defendant, came into Court. Mr. Justice Paan ad dressed him, and said, " Your recognisances are forfeited, Mr. Coltman; you need not come." The warrant was immediately issued, and placed without delay in the hands of a police officer. It is nut expected that. Wakefield will be apprehended, as he had at least 12 hours' start of the prosecutor. It is confi dently asserted that William Wakefield left Lancaster in female aWre, and in the company of two Ladies. Various are the rumours as to the destination of Win.Wakeileld, but none of them can be relied on. Mr. Turner, his daughter, and all the witnesses, were in an ansi-room adjoining the Grand Jury room, wait ing to give evialence; and when it was made known to Mr. Turner that Wm. Wakefield could not be found, he was evidently much chagrined. His expenses, in pro curing and providing for the witnesses in his case, must have been considerable, as there were between 40 and 50, and all were living in the highest style. • SENTENCE OF THE RIOTERS. The following prisoners, who were convicted, during the present Assizes, of rioting and power-loom break ing in different parts of the county, were put to the bar: James Riding, William Sutelife, Richard Kaye, James Latham, James Ormerod, James Haworth, James Chambers, Simeon Wright, Richard Entwistle,William Winder, John Haworth, Henry Melling, Thomas Lomas Thomas Greenkelgh, John Croshaw, Thomas Leaver. Isaac 'bidle, Thomas Dickenson, James Leaver, Edward Haughton, Thomas Ashworth, Thomas Sharp/en, Robert Butterworth, James Aspden, James Shorrock, Alexander Norris, John Orrell, Thomas Emmett, Anne Entwistle, Betty Haworth, Betty Conlige, Mary Hindle, Mary Marsden, Margaret Yates, Joseph Clayton John Hoyle, Mark CockereU, Joseph Baldwin, Anne Ingham, Lawrence Handgun, George Ashworth, and John, Ashworth. His Loansuto having in a very feeling manner ad dressed the prisoners (who were put to the bar in groups of ten and twelve each), and pointed out the folly of their proceedings, which could produce no other effect that a prolongation of that distress, which, he was sorry to say, had at the period of these riots existed to an alarming extent in this county, said, that in considera don of the recommendation of the Juries by whom they bad been tried, and of other circumstances con nected with their eases, it was not his intention, as far as he was concerned, to carry the law in its full extent into execution; but if his Majesty should be advised to listen to his (Mr. Justice Nast's) recommendation to spare the lives of the erisoners, some of them must ex pect to be sent out of the country. His Lordship then directed, that judgment of death should be recorded against all the prisoners. Mickel 7bnalinsen, Ain Grii,uhaw, Awl* Tonlifisam, and Manned Oldness. who were convicted of Mentz riotously assem bled, with intent to destroy the machinery, Sce. of power-loons mills, were sentenced to be Imprisoned for twelve months in the House of Correction at Preston, there to be kept to hard labour. LAW REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY. Augury 22. The Lou) CRANCILLOR Bat at half•past ten o ' clock.—Mr. HART was the only King's Counsel In attendance; several junior Counsel and teeny suitors were present. Among the suitors was Mr. Wellesley, who viewed the Bench with a very anxious eye, but nothing fell from it in his case. LORD /FOLEY Co !DM/NM Mr. Susitaow applied for an Injunction on the part of the plaintiff, to restrain the defendant and his work men from carrying away or disposing of some timber, until he bad given security for the whole of the purchase money. It appeared, that the defendant had entered into an agreement with the plaintiff, for the purchase of certain oak trees, and had agreed to give a bond as security, which, however, be had not done, but hid begun disposing of some of the timber. The present motion was, therefore, for the purpose of preventing him further disposing of the timber, until he had given such security. The USD Cease:mos granted the application. Mr. HART wished to know, whether it was his Lord. ship's intention to give judgment in a case of Hill v. Reardon, this Sittings ? He hoped his Lordship would not postpone it, in consequence of the absence of Counsel, The LORD CHANCZLLoR observed, it was his inten tion, if possible, to get through the whole of his judge ments between this and next November. He should send from time to time, as he got through the papers, the judgments he proposed to give to the Solicitors con cerned in the cause. He believed the greatest part, it not the whole of his vacation would be so employed.-- Many persons who had nothing to do with these things were dissatisfied at judgments not being Riven. Mr. Haas said, from his experience, be never wished to hear any reason given by his LoYdship, for the opinion be bad formed, as he was quite satialied his Lordship never yet gave a judgment without his moms being sufficient to support it. =seirm The health of the Countess of EI,DoN continues improving daily. An awful instance of sudden death occurred yester- day afternoon at Lloyd's. Mr. 8.1. GRAM a very old and highly respected subscribe's, was ascending the stairs which lead to the Committee room, when a Oentleman who followed him perceived him to make a sudden stop as it looking intently on some object, and in the neat moment he fell perfectly insensible. Assistance being procured, iie was conveyed into the Secretary's room ; but his pulse had ceased to beat, and the medical Gen• tleman who was sent for pronounced life to be quite extinct. Mr. GOA?, was between 60 and 70 years of age; be has left a widow, but no family. He had for ,4 loos time pieviou,l7 complained of indisposition. ELEVEN YEARS AFTER MARRIAGE: . • Among the evil ddersbrought before Mr. Alderman Wannams, yesterday morning, at Guildhall, was one Mrs. Jane &with a Ma tron on the wrong tidi of forty, rather dumpy, and Very brown.— Sbe had been handed over to the custody of the watch by Mr. Was. Hewitt, a tall and comely, though rather elderly, purveyor of beef and mdttoa to•the lieges in and about Crown -court, Dorset•street, Salisbury-square; and he now appeared In the witness box to show cause why heead banded her over as aforesaid. " This Lady at the bar," said be, w came to my house at three o'clock this morning, and disturbed a Lady in tabour, and what's more, she called me everything—but a pial•man) so j gave her hi charge to the watch, and here she is." And thet; be stopped, for be was a man of few words. A long connubial colloquy was cut short by the Alderman asking him bow lung be and his wife had been living apart? " Till this blessed morning at three o'clock," replied he," I have never seen her these eleven years past." " Why then you have had a long repose," said the Alderman, " and ought to consider yourself a very happy man. One visit from your wife in eleven years is surely not much." The Lady now said that she didn't want to go near him at all, if he would allow her a maintenance. "He can keep a*dher lady," said she," and afford to have children, and I'll make hint keep me, or I'll know what it sticks at I" The other lady, it appeared, was the "lady in labour," of whom the unfortunate butcher had spoken in opening his case; and the Alderman dismissed the ease, upon the lady at the bar promising not to go near her husband's house again, but to seek redress by ap plying to the Palish Officers, who would compel him to allow her a reasonable maintenance. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GRAND AMATEUR AMA.TEUR ROWING MATCH. The lovers of aquatic sports had a high treat yeste;daY, in wkt stewing a match for SOO sovereigns, towed by Gentlemen Ama. teun, picked from the various crack clubs on the River.—The wager was to be contended for, by six pair of oars, in wherries, to start from of the Red House, at Battersea, and to row to a boat moored at the New Bitdge,at Hammersmith, the first beat passing that point to be declared the winner. The time appointed for starte lug was half-past four o'clock, and before that hour, all the dub gal leys, and other principal boats, with a great many others, had as. sembled at the starting point. The weather was beautiful, and dm scene gay and animated. The plating and starting of the boats was regulated by a Gentleman appointed, with the consent of all parties, as umpire, and lots were cast for the several stations. The contending boats were all private property, and were thus distinguished : COILQUILS. OINWIMIL COLOURS. ono:Ma Green . Bainbridge Yellow • 6 Slaws Light Blue . Gifford Pink, . . .A tt wood Tartan . . Holmes White . . . At twenty minutes past four, the signal for getting ready was given by the umpire, and the boats took their several stations at buoys placed for that purpose. At half-past four o'clock, a pistol watt fired, as the signal for starting t but it did not seem to be p. nerally understood, as some hesitated before they commenced pull. log, and Mr. WeUs's boat, White, did not start at all. The rest had rowed a few hundred yards, when all seemed in confusion, and there was a general cry.of e a film start." The umpire decided that it was so, and the boats returned to their respective stations. They were soon again in readiness, and started at five o'clock in fine style. White, at first, took the lead, and Mr. Wells, and his partner in this boat, a beautifully constructed wherry, weighing only about 131 pounds, pulled with so much strength and steadiness, that the general opinion seemed to be that they would win. Green, how ever, by great exertion, passed White, and was first boat through Battersea Bridge White being second, Light Blue third, closely followed by Tartan, and the other two close astern, *early abreast of each other. Front this point Light Blue and Tartan gradually gained ground, and from being third and fourth, became first and second. The great contest was now between these two boats, and a more determined struggle has seldom been witnessed. Bach man pulled as though he had " Ret his life upon the cast." and it was for a long time doubtful which would be successful; but Blue kept the lead, and eventually won the match, with very little distance indeed to spare. Green came In third, closely followed by the others. An immense barge, superbly fitted up, and decorated with a profusion of colours for the occasion, was stationed off Hans. mersmith Bridge, and from this, and numerous other points on the River, and its banks on either shore, the competitors were warmly greeted as they respectively reached the goal. None of the Gentle men appeared to be particularly fatigued on coming in. The dis tance (six miles) was rowed exactly In 39 minutes, and, upon the whole, a better contested match, or one exhibiting a better display of manly strength and grace, and thorough knowledge of the art of rowing, could scarcely occur. A great number of bets were des pending on the match. LAMBETH REGATTA. The Sixth Annual Prise Wherry, and other Prises, given by 46 Ladles and Gentlemen,inhabitants of the parish of Lambeth, were yesterday rowed for, by eight pair of oars, in three heats, by the undermentioned wateemen, belonging to the Stairs, vi;. W. Oadd, and S. Wilson, Blue; G. Arthur and W. Rolls. Red ; H. Maynard, and T. Brown, Purple; J. Rolls and G. Wilson, Orange; G. Wilson, jun. and J. Wilson. Green; W. Arthur and J. Wyld, Crimson; L. Richards and W. Noulton, Yellow; G. Wyld and S. Richards, Pink...—The first beat was won by Purple and Red; Blue and Orange being distanced. The second beat was won by Pink and Yellow ; Green and Crimson being distanced. The third ur grand heat war won by Pink, followed by Yellow, Bed, and Porple.—The winners (Wyld and Richards) were conveyed in the Prise Wherry to the Coburg Theatre, preceded by a band of music, and the Prize was received by them on the stage. CRICKET. Monday, eleven Gentlemen of Kent, including Lord Strathavea, against eleven Gentlemen of Windsor, played a match of cricket in Windsor Great Park. His Majesty presented the party With buck for their entertainment at its conclu‘sion. MOOR GiIME. The accounts from the Moors in the North are very favourable. . Game is said to be plentiful, but the birds are represented as being very wild, and strong upon the wing. The extensive moors on Stainmore, in Westmoreland, the property of the Earl of Thanet, never abounded more in game than they do this season. This is partly attributed to the great fires on the Yorkshire Fells adjoin. big, wkich deprived the birds of cover. EDINJUROII, AUGUST 21.—Yesterday morning, a lire broke out in the sunk flat of a house in Home -street near Lochrin distillery, which was atttended with fatal consequences. The engines were soon on the spot; but, unfortunately, althotrgh a fire-cock is placed in the vicipity, there was no water in the pipes, and half an hour was lost before it could be got, by which time the fire had made great bavock in the sunk and street stories, both of which were nearly destroyed. lie furniture of the other flats was also much da maged in the hurry of removal, and the poor people to whom it chiefly belonged (the house being mostly let in small apartments) have also to complain of the cupidity of some wretches, who taking advantage of the confusion, and under the pretence of rendering humane assistance, carried many of their articles of. But the most melancholy consequences of this accident are yet to state. A woman named Easton, a widow, who inhabited one of the rooms destroyed, had returned to it unperceived, probably with a view to save some thing, and was burnt to death before her situation was known to those employed in extinguishing the gamer. Another woman, who leapt from a window, had her leg broken, and was carried to the Royal Infirmaay. A Dissolution of Partnership having been announced In the Lawton Geed*, in the firm of Messrs. SAvoav, Moose, and DATUtlion, of New Bond-street and Regent.street, Mr. D. takes the earliest opportunity of announcing to the Nubility, Gentry, and the Public, that during the necessary interval for the winding up of the said concern, Mr. D. intends making arrangements with tad& rent leading Houses on the Continent, and the East and West Indies, for direct importations of Drugs, ice. previously to his eimnatensiug business on his own account.
