tHiP LAUNCH. WEST COWES, JUN, 6. At an early hour this morning, a vest concourse of spectators assembled at Fish-hey* Creek, in the Isle of Wight, to witness the launch of that magnificent yacht Falcon, belonging to Lord arborough, precisely at twelve o'clock. She glided off in noble style amidst the cheers of thousands of fashionibks from all parts of the country; the assemblage of yachts decorated out in colours, added much to the delight of the scene. We were truly delighted at seeing that sweet little frigate belonging to the Victory firing a s.:ute from her brass guns, added to which, the band of the Victory playing select and heatitiful music, which afford e d much pleasure to the party, as well as credit is the master of the band for his se. lectien. The yacht is owed the most superb vessels we have ever seen, measures 340 tuns, was christened by the beautiful Miss Hastings, of Cowit, and embraced the briny deep with grandeur never surpassed. She was taken in tow by a steam-butte Cowes, to get masted and fitted out for the season. We bear Lord Yarborough intends giving a grand ball on board when she is complete for cruizins ; and from her peculiac construction, every T iling being moveable, she can accommodate upwards of 500 persons. 'I he boats of the Victory shone very conspicuous, having their ceours up, and all of them firing a Royal salute. OXFORD SU MER CIRCUIT. (The lion. Mr. Justice BUR/LOUGH, and the Hon.

Stafford, hursday. July 13. Gloucester, Thursday, Aug. 3. Such of our Readers as are interested iii the arrangements of the Orford Circuit, will observe that they vary very materially from former appointments. This, we understand, has been occasioned by the necessity of giving several more days than usual to the county of Salop, fur the trial of some causes there of great importance. EXECUTION. ....•,..,W4l 4. This morning the awful spectacle of the execution of four men was exhibited in the Old Bailey, which was crowded. The culprits were, Joseph Taylor, aged 31, for the crime of horse-stealing; James Johnson, 20, Robert Savage, 23, and Joseph lienfield, 24, for burglary. The offences for which they suffered were not marked with any unusual enormity, except thtre being a plu talky of charges against all. The conduct of Savage upon his trial and condemna tion was of the most outrageous and violent description ; he uttered the bitterest imprecations upon his prosecu tors, and abused the Recorder in the vilest terms upon being called up to receive sentence. Beafield was concerned with him in the same bur glary, and demeaned himself with much greater pro. priety, but evidently had acted under the influence of considerable cunningness of disposition, knowing the hopelessness of his case. Snce the arrival of the warrant of execution the un happy men devoted themselves to religious exercises with the utmost assiduity, particularly Johnson and Taylor, who awned most pungently to feel their situation. Savage had been some weeks confined to his bed in the prison infirmary, with a rheumatic affection, and upon being informed that his doom was fixed, the fierceness of his disposition seemed to relax, and he de voted himself to prayer and meditation. Taylor had once, it is said, moved in a sphere of respectability, and was a man of remarkably genteel appearance; he was this morning dressed in a new black coat, white waistcoat, drab breeches, and top boots, and altogether had the manner and- demeanour of a far mer. The awful cei emony of taking leave of their earthly connections occupied their attention off Monday and yesterday, and after this was over the unhappy men devoted themselves to constant entreaty to that DIVINE BEING who alone could extend the sacred attribute of mercy to them hereafter, They spent the greater part of tl e night in prayer, and appeared not to regard the morning's approach. —Toe Rev. Mr Cotton and Mr. Baker attended them from six o'clock this morning, and shortly before eight o'clock the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was admi nis ereJ to them with every mark of sincere penitence. —Mr. Sheriff Kelly and his Officers, with their black wands, arrived at the prison at eight o'clock, and pro ceeded to the Press-room, when the Sheriff and a group of Gentlemen waited some minutes, during which interval of time the voices of the culprits were heard mournfully singing the Psalm of David to the i I iLMIGHTY fir mercy," Oh, my GOD, from the depths in this moment of agony do I cry for mercy; have mercy, oh, Great Goo pity me." The effrct of this ascending through the arched and gloomy roofs of the prison was peculiarly solemn. Taylor was first intro duced and pinioned, he was perfectly composed, and merely said something in a low tone of voice to the She riff, when he sat down. Benfield was then introduced by the Officer, his face had a hectic flush, but displayed a seeming indifference to the awful expiation he was about to make r which amazed every one present; he was dressed in a frock coat, and was a remarkably fine young man. J o hn son lo o ked wretchedly haggard, but was composed, and said he was happy and resigned. The wretched Savage was the last that entered the Press-room, he looked pale, but walked with such a decent composure that deat hi appeared ditarmed of its terrors. There was something of the bravo in his man ner. While in the Press-room, not a single audible word was uttered by any of the culprits, and the same abstractedness or taciturnity was preserved to the last moment of their existence. Mr. Baker sought to draw from Savage and Benfield some answer as to their feel ings at that moment, but their answers were short and in audible. They ascended the scaffold with the same_firan-1 ness, particularly Savage, who bounded actively up the steps. At half-past eight o'clock all was complete, and the.drop falling, the world closed on them for ever. They appeared to die without a struggle. In the crowd were many who appeared deeply to sympathise with Savage and Bonfield, and calling on them by name, pronounced a fervent benediction. The Half Yearly Coupons of the French Three per tent.

Tbs horrors and mysteries in her former weeks were .o:ways, as our Readers know, traced to natural causes; but ber t..st Romance is rendered unusually solemn by the repeated appear a,:ces of an awful visitant from the Grave! A shocking and fatal accident occurred at Newton, near Manchester, on Friday last. Robert Johnson and George Hyde, and a son of the latter, were employed in whitewashing and repairing the interior of a house inhabited by one Chadwick, a shawl weaver. They had finished the lower rooms, and one side of a chamber above, when, in removing a bed, the boy found a pistol. " Let me look at it," said Johnson, so the boy gave it to him. "It is not loaded," he observed. 6 . Oh, no," said the boy. Whereupon he touched the trigger; it flashed, went off, and old Hyde groaned, and fell upon the bed. He said, " Oh, Robert, I thought it had - .nmething in," and immediately expired. FASH!ONABLE INTELLIGnCE. PARTIES. Lord and tady Macdonald gave a splendid de)eune on Monday, at their hods* lb Wimpole4treet, in celebration of tho nuptials of their second daughter, the Hon.

The frequent pas. sages of the steam-packet to and from Portsmouth, renders the coin inunlcation with London a pleasurable trip rather that a journey of fatigue, as It used to be. PIC NIC AT KENILWORTH CASTLE. These interesting ruins were on Thursday last animated by the presence of beauty and fashion hitherto unrivalled. The company began to assemble about three o'clock, and proceeded to explore the seat of departed splendour and the theatre of glowing chivalry —now, alas ! the habitation of bats, and the haunt of the shrieking owL The excellent band .f the 4th (or Royal Irish) Dragoon Guards was in attendance, and played numerous select airs from Rossini, Alozart, and Weber, the effect of which among the de emed halls and mouldering turrets we cannot find words to de scribe. After a splendid cold dinner in the great gatehouse, at which mirth and conviviality reigned, the company assembled on the lawn, and quadrilles and waltzes were danced till a late hour. The company were indebted to the excellent arrangements of the stewards, Captain Sumas, of the 4th Dragoon Guards, and Lieu tenant Hoarser, of the Royal Artillery, for the harmony which prevailed; and we understand this is but the prelude to more gal. lant entertainments, in which the ancient splendour of the days of Elizabeth is to be outrivalled by the more refined taste of the pre sent age. ANGLO CHILIAN MINING COMPANY. Yesterday, a Meeting of the Shareholders in this Company was held at the Lyndon Tavern, for the pur pose of considering the present state of their aff.iirs. Mr. R. M. RAIKES took the Chair. Mr. ABBOT, the Secretarf, read the Report, si hich represented the prospects in South America to be highly promising. They had obtained three valuable copper mines at the expense of but a trifling outlay. The course adopted had hitherto been, to make purchases of the ore raised by the natives, aid to depend on superior ➢ritish skill is seneltin4 and refining, to realise a considerable profit. The Directors were sorry to find a disposition to abandon the concern, which they considered was of the highest promise. The last call of 31. per Share bad only been paid on 6,336 Shares, leaving 8,664 Shares liable to be forfeited. The Directors begged to state, that they held 3,324 •ut of the 15,000 Shares of which the Company was constituted, and had therefore a suf ficient stake to render them truly attentive to its into The deposits received amounted to 75,9901. The disbursements for the Chilirm Establishment amounted to 39,9811. There were other disbursements here, making on the whole about 50,0001. Their Commis sioner, Mr. Caldclough, had drawn bills upon the Com pany to the amount of upwards of 44,0081. without sending them advice as to the nature of the transactions. These bills would be presented for acceptance on the 13th instant, and it was for the interest of the Company that they should not be dishonoured, as it would be ruinous to their credit. Had the call been duly paid, the Directors would have been able to meet this demand. They recommended the immediate payment of the call, in order to enable them t• provide for the bills. The Report was adapted, and after thanks had been voted to the Chairman and Directors, the Meeting separa t ed. The Gazette of last night contains a notice to Aliens, in pursuance of the Act of the S.ssiun just concluded. ASCOT RACES. Ascot Races commenced yesterday; and the expec tation that the King was to be preens, *warted a very splendid and fashionable attendance. The company at these races, owing to the increased distance from Lon don, is commonly more select, though less numerous than at Epsom ; but, on this occasion, the concourse of persons was very great indeed. As early as by eleven o'clock the stands began to fill ; and a great rush was made to those in the immediate neighbourhood of that occupied by his Majesty. Several alterations, since last year, have been made in the disposition of the Course. The Duke of York's stand has :seen removed; and is now plated next the King's—opposite the winning post. A new stand for the betting Gentlemen has also been erected : and temporary stables for the reception of his Majesty's horses, when he attends, and those of his suite. About noon, Lord Maryborough, the Steward of the Course, arrived, when the line of carriages round the Course was very dense indeed. A great number of car riages and four came—Gentlemen driving their own horses. Other equipages, with equal prerensions, post; and a great swarm of gigs, and equestrians. But the approach to Ascot is so good, and the visitors coming from different quarters—as Windsor, Staines, and B.:1 font—no confusion at all took place in the business of the assemblage. A little before the commencement of the fist rAtt, the King arrived upon e ground; driving directly up the course, in front of all the stands, so as to show him self fully to everybody present. The Duke of York had corns in rather earlier, and had been riding about the field upon his favourite gray hone, which must be one of the most powerful in England. The whole of the stud of the Royal Family attracted great attention ; one particular bay horse (among other highly valuable ones), ridden by an outri&r, was of a beauty and action per haps unequalled. His Majesty came in a plain brown travelling carnage, attended by the Duke of Dorset (Master of the llorse), his suite following in two other close carriages, and a phaeton; and was receive.' with respectful but universal greeting. He looked extremely well, and was plainly dressed in a blue surtout coat, gray stook, and round hat, shewing himself constantly at the window of his stand, in conversation with the Duke of York, the Duke of Wellington, the Duke of 'Richmond, &c. &c. Sir ft. Birnie ' attended by Tovrnshend, Sayer,, Bishop, and a strong body of Police, was on the alert, and effectually guarded against the depredations of the pickpockets ; nor did we hear that any accidents occurred. His Majesty in the evening entertained a select dinner party, at which were present the Duke of Portland, Duke of Wsllington, Duke of Dorset, and a few others. Ills Royal highness the Duke of York bad also a dinner party of 26, including the Duke of Grafton, Marquis of Tavistock. Mar. quis of Currynghame.

Nigel was close at limit), and nude a hit of a struggle with him, but in vain; Chateau Margeauz preserved the front, and wen cleverly by a length. The second race—for the Deemed Stakes, of 30 sew. each, fir 3 yr. olds and wpwards, t mike—went of as follows : Duke of Portland's Mortgage, . yrs, Mt. 111 b. . . 1 M.

Leeway, followed by Mortgage, took the lead to the turn, at a tremendous rate,when Mortgage came in front, followed by Stumps and El Dorado, half way up the distance, when they all came togs ', Cher. Here it was thought to be any body's race, as they con. tinued, for upwards of to lengths, all of a lump. Mortgage and Stumps now singled themselves out for the winner, when a most desperate race ensued right home, the former winning by half a length. It was as strong run rattling a race as we have seen this year. The three' following races were short heats, upon the course, called " The new mile:" Sweepstakes of 200 sov. each, for 3yr old colts, S.

Lord Exeter's cok took the lead at starting, and came as well as he could from beginning to end; he was this'll followed by the Moslem. the General and Boliyar,—in fact, for a long way, the last three were all of a heap." The Moslem got close to the winner when near home, and The General also made a fine struggle; but the Cornus colt efeated them both ; Bolivar began to wriggle and twist in his usual way—shut himself up, and would not struggle a yard. The race was admirably contested, and won by half a length. Sweepstakes of 200 soya. each, h. ft. fur 3 year old fillies, 331. Sib. New mile.

The winner came of steady, followed closely by the others to the betting stand, when all les loose, and a beautiful race ensued, Waterman winning by half a length. The two first ran a dead Lent at Newmarket a short time since. The fineness of the weather, after the late heavy rains, contributed greatly to the general beauty of the scene; and Ascot, as regards the road from town, is pe culiarly happily situated : the views upon the Thames, passing over Staines-bridge, and in crossing Windsor park, where you have the town of Wind..or, with the Castle, and grand approach, on your right hand, are singulatly gay and luxuriant. We have already observed, that the attendance was both numerous and fashionable ; the chew •; ladies upon the race-ground was worth riding a hundred miles to look at; for beauty, it could not have been equalled in the world. Among the per sons of distinction pre s ent, we noticed Duke of Wellington, Duke of Richmond. Duke of Grafton. Duke of Portland, kluquiati Graham, Conyngbam, Exeter, Lords Fife, Stradbroke, Duawich, Effernont, kc. 'Deere were she in the Royal Stand, the Marchioness et Cenrillball, Ldp Georgians and Miss Wellesley ; indeed the whole of the great remit in the stand, the ante-room, and the flat, were actually thronged. His Royal Highness the Duke of York was in his own stand repeatedly, which was also occupied by several fashionable,. The flat was also covered with spectators. The sport terminated Onset a quarter before floe, and his Ma jesty left the course in the same style as he came, amidst the cheering of the people. PEDESTRIANISM. The Fnot Race, forty mile., between Lieutenant Colbourn and Mr. P.Airburn, took place over four miles of Cxowsly P.trk, ColOsiel Payne's, at Ditton, Oxon, yesterday morning; and it was performed as follows: • Lieut.

The above match between Lord Kennedy and Mr. Arrowsmith was concluded yesterday as follows the first 25 birds, each killed 19, Mr. A. keeping three a head ; in the second 25, the shooting was very interesting, Lord Kennedy having twice brought the match to a tie; at the 25th shot :%Ir. Arrowsmith was one a head, be missed his last bird, and thus the match finished a tie, amidst the cheering of the spectators. The two days' shooting are as under : Lord Kennedy. First Day . .

We believe that the tie will not be shut off. On Thursday a matcji for 900 sovereigns, at SO birds each, will take place at the Red House enclosure, 21 yards from the trap, between 111es4rs. Oshaldestime and Ross, each to place his gun on the table, and not touch it till b e h as pu ll e d t h e str i ng. O n M onday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday, in the ensuing week, two matches, at 50 birds each per day, for 500 sous. will be decided be tween the last-mUnod parties. THE ARMY.
