Last Saturday; not less than 500 persons were landed f rom steam packets. Scarcely a lodging is now to be had : even single beds are let as high as 20s. a week each. Wh at a change has taken place here in the last sixty years! —ln the year 1762 Margate was a mere village. There was no daily post, and only one stage-coach whicb went to meet the London coach at Canter. bury, and bring in the passengers. A boy plied twice a week between London and Margate; it contained all sorts of passengers, huddled together, at half-a crown head :the passage was pe r f orme d i n e i g h t hours; sometimes me days. The same passage is now run in six hours and a half to eight hours and a half. It is understood that one Benjamin Beale, of the Society of Friends, of this place, was the original conniver, or improver, of the sea-bathing machines, about the year 1750; that is to say, as they are now generally used on our sea coasts, and lately at Calais and Boulogne. Nothing excites the notice and ab horrence of the visitors at this place more than the monstrous cruelties they see hourly inflicted upon the poor donkeys, by the wanton and unfeeling donkey boys. A number of persons, actuated by a spirit of sheer cupidity, intrust to cruel and mischievous boys the care and management of donkeys, -and donkey carts, for the use of strangers: and, doubtless, it is a great convenience to many. Indeed, at every water ing; place, donkeys are too much made the sport of thoughtless and unprincipled boys. But at Mitrgate, cruelty is exhibited on a larger scale. 111-fated don keys are consigned in hundreds to the creel hands of boys: they are subjected to the torture of large and cruelly knotted whips, kicks, and bruises, if they are unable to accomplish the unrelenting wills and im practicable tasks of little tyrannical urchins of mas ters. All that the Magistrates of Margate have yet clone for the relief of these suffering animals has been hitherto ineffectual. Another thing which excites the observation of strangers is the unprotected state of the high per pendicular cliffs on the eta side of Margate. Some years ago a servant girl fell over in a dark winter night, going to visit a sick and aged mother. She lay with a broken thigh in an insensible state till miraculously discovered by a Jog, which contrived to make known to his master, a boatman, the fate of this young woman just as the flowing tide had begun to reach her. Even this very summer, a child be longing to a visitor fell over into the water, and was providentially saved by another boatman, who hap pened to be on the spot at the moment. ENGLISH OPERA Hoesr.—A new Operetta, in one act, called A Din: a Day, was performed for the first time last night. It is a very lively little Piece. Young Rokely (Mr. BAK ER) is in love ,with Caroline (Miss CARR), who hesitates to give him her hand under an apprehension that her father may withhold his con sent. The lover is of course in the greatest perplexity, but his servant Mirk (Mr. CHAPMAN) has a head full of expedients, and comes to his relief. But love is not the sole perplexity of Rakely. His extravaganOe having plunged him into debt, Irels provided with a Dun for every day in• the week. ThO most pressing of all is one Mr. Plush (Mr. BARTLEY), a tailor, who gains admittance into the house, and !liaises to retire until his bill is discharged. Shirk's wits - are set to work in this extremity. As he cannot get rid of the tailor, he resolves to make him useful, which he does by persuading him to personate his master's father, as the only chance of getting his bill discharged. An interview takes place immediately between him and the young Lady, and the most laughable scenes arise out of the awkwardness he betrays in acting the Gen tleman. A perpetual recurrence to the technicalities of his trade, arid a feverish anxiety for the payment of his demand, constitute him an object of mirth from the first moment of his appearance. But the arrival of the real father interrupts the success of their pro ject. Mush takes him fur a lawyer, and consults him on the marriage articles, which he has drawn up on the back of a cognovit. Old Rakely tears the instru ment, and undertaking to discharge all his son's en gagements, the tailor lays down his title of father, puts in his claim, but having lost his cognovit in the manner already described, laughed at for his folly and punished for his deception. The lovers are mar ried in the end. l'he Piece was well played ; and when Plush asked leave to present his bill again, the audience assented with unmixed applause. VAUXHALL G AM:Mk:S.—These superb Gardens were trowded last night with genteel company. The extra amusements introduced at the Coronation Gala, and in celebration of the Dukes of YORK and CLA RENCK'S Birth-days, w ere repeated. The Gardens were lighted with thirty thousand additional lamps, and the Chi nese Garden was illuminated also in the most bril liant manlier imaginable. The effulgence exceeded anything ever seen it; this or any country, and the whole had the air of enchantment. Inscriptions in honour of the Coronation, of the Birth-day of his MAJESTY, the Duke of YORK, and the Duke of CLA RENCE, and t,f the victory of Waterloo, • sparkled everywhere in resplendent characters. The variety of amusements was so great, they were scattered over this magic domain with so unsparing a hand, that it was not possible to turn the corner of a single walk, without encountering somethiag to please and much to admire. Vauxhall, in short, was last night a per ct inicroco,n). The volcanos of Italy, the pagodas of China, the ballets of Venice, the mechanical auto mata of art, the living pupils, whose youthful grace and agility reflected so much credit on their instruc tor—all solicited observation, and, being seen, at tracted the warmest applause. The Concert, both vocal and instrumental, was on the most ex tensive scale, and while the eye was delighted with the fairy scene. the ear was charmed with national and popular airs. The ascent and descent of Mr. Bcacemoita, enveloped in tite.works, had a very in teresting and fine effect. ,The company were highly delighted with the entertainments, end nothing was wanting to add to their pleasure and comfort ; though a sigh of regict escaped some visitors, that this de lightful fan y laud would soon be closed from their admiring eyes fur the seahon. A Gentleitian, the other chiy, in a pal ty where one or two As c omplained of their forgetfulness, said, " As for me, my int:awry is MI despastely bad, that I lorget I have A mercury !" THE CONCLAVE. It h not yet known how many Cardinals will aisist at the Conclave. It is not thought there will be above 50: Many foreign Cardinals will not be able to at tend, and the Italian Cardinals will, perhaps, be pre vented by their infirmities. Six of the Cardinals are 80 year's old, 13 are between 71 and 79, 23 are be tween 60 and 69, eight are between 53 and 59, and three are only above 45 years old. At the last Con clave there were but 35 Cardinals, all of whom, with the exception of three, were Italians. There were ten Cardinals wanted, and the Conclave lasted three months. The shortest Conclave, during the last age, was that of 1721, when Innocent XIII. was elected. It lasted but forty days. The longest was that of 1740, when Benoit XIV. was elected. This lasted six entire months, and five Cardinals died during the Conclave. In the Conclaves there is generally what is called the faction of the Zelanti, which means the party of the most pious and zealous. There is also the party of the Crowned Heads, which, it appears, will not influence this time, oil account of the small number of foreign Cardinals. In other Conclaves there were the Cardinals created by the last Pope, and those created by the preceding Popes, which formed two distinct parties ; but in the present Con clave this cause of division will not exist, all the Car dinals, except two, having been created by Pius the Seventh. Since Adrian the Sixth, who was elected in the year 1522, no Pope has been taken out of the Sacred College. According to the chronological tables of the suc cession of the Popes, published at Rome, there have been 251 heads of the church, commencing with the Apostle Peter. Among these Popes, fourteen have been Frenchmen, five Germans, three Spaniards and Portuguese, one Englishman, eleven Greeks, two Afi icons, eight Thracians, Goths, and Dalmatians, the rest Italians. PRINCE HOHENLOHE'S MIRACLES. A greit many of those Miracles which were hatched for the first instant have not yet come to light, and many more failed, notwithstanding the most careful preparation. Of five thousand persons, afflicted with all sorts of frig, inful diseases, who had passsed through the ordeal of nine days praying and fasting, only three miraculous cases have been brought forward. Miss Dowell, who threw dust in the eyes of the Surgeon-General, was the first; the Cobbler, on the Coal Quay, was the second—of this pious man we know something; but, the greatest of all the wonders was wrought upon a poor soldier, who lost his right leg at Waterloo. The veteran ap peared at Harold's-Cross Convent by times in the morning, with his wooden supporter of good ash, the natural one having been lopped off at the knee— and towards the close of Mass what did he feel? Why, he felt a glow of genial warmth oyes , his whole frame, then a thrilling sensation, then the throbbing of his heart became quicker and quicker—he was breathless; but at last, a flash of light darted across his eyes: inspired with confidence he now ventured to place his band on his thigh, which he gradually and cautiously moved downwards—it reached the knee—here he paused for a moment, afraid, as it were, to proieed further—his faith had almost for saken him, but the fastenings of the wooden mem ber were gone ;- his confidence now returned, his digits descended, he found a fine calf, the shin, the ancle—all real flesh, blood, and bone; he now turned his uplifted eyeballs downwards, and lo l to his in expressible joy, he beheld a real foot, with a good new shoe upon it, and secured by a handsome square brass buckle, quite similar to that of the left foot.— DuMin Journal. A humbug miracle was in train to be played off in the town of Galway—as well calculated a scene for such a performance as any iu Ireland. A Mrs. Joyce, an ailing Lady, had latterly retired to a Convent, of recent establishment—for 'Monastic and Jesuitical Institutions are very rapidly increasing in Ireland. It struck the Mother Abbess, that if Prince Hohenlohe were to give the sisterhood a 44 touch of his quality," it might swell the fame of the Convent. Mrs. Joyce was accordingly chosen for Prince Hohenlohe to wor k upon. All the ma, chinery was nearly got up—the parts, no doubt, were well studied,--" time, place, and circumstance" combining—and the pious Papists of Galway, our old friend Priest Daly and all, were on the point of receiving the electric wild-fire of superstition, when a most respectable and enlightened Roman Catholic Gentleman of the town got wind of the farce that was in rehearsal. His good sense, as well as truly Chris tian feeling, was so revolted by the abominable trickery, that he waited on the Mother Abbess, and remonstrated with her so strongly, and so effectually, that she relinquished her purpose, and the character and interests of religion were spared, in this instance, the scandal and injury which such impious assump tions are calculated to produce. The conduct of the worthy Gentleman, who thus interfered, is beyond our praise, and such as should be emulated by every en lightened Roman. Catholic in Ireland.—The Warder. THE DUKE OreCAMBRIDGE AND Ins ROYAL TEES.—FRA N KFORT, AUGUST 31.—Her Majesty the Queen Dowager of Wurtemburg, will arrive here to day, part of her luggage is already here, and apart ments are prepared for her reception in the English Hotel.

In the late fire at Constantinople, the magaidelit' near the arsenal were destroyed, and many Tiris perished in them. The number of houses burnt, is stated to amount to 3,000: constant apprehensions were entertained of fresh excesses of the fanatical Mussulmans. The Gazette of Tuesday night announces an inten tion of applying to Parliament in the ensuing Session, for leave to bring in a Bill to permit the constructing of a subterranean double archway er tunnel, in and through the parish of St. Mary, Rotherhithe, and to be continued under the bed of the rim Thames, into and through St. John, Wapping.

Wise's Sporting Room was not so numerously attended as at the same hour last night, but yet there was a gay and a specu lating set present; amongst whom we noticed what we call the , Princes of the Legs, who de not condescend to travel in the common jog-trot coach way, but who, as soon as their books are brought and closed into a South country focus, start, post and four, to the scene of action. 15 to 4 apt Sherwood 11 to 1 apt Claude Lorraine to 1 apt Rosanne 16 to 1 apt Petals Royal 5 to 1 agst Tinker 25 to 1 apt Lisette 8 to 1 apt Barefoot 27 to 1 apt Comte d'Artois 11 to 1 apt 'reacted 30 to 1 apt any other PARIS RACES—Sm. 7. The races for the grand prize took place this day. The wea ther was superb, and an immense crowd filled the circumference of the Champ de Mars. Their Royal Highnesses the Comte d'Artois and the Duchess of Berry honoured the Races with their presence. Nell, a Cozak filly, won in two heats, being however closely followed by Rosiere. At the moment when his Rzeellency the Minister of the Interior was about giving the prize, the Comte d'Artois ordered both mares to be brought be. fore his tent, and addressing the Minister, said—* Monsieur, Nell has won the prize ; but as she cons. torn my son's stud, the reward concerns me : give the prize to Rosiere." A white scarf was then fastened to Nell's bridle (she belongs to the Duke de ()niche), as having won the prize of honour, and the 6000 francs, of which the prize consists, were paid to Rosiere's owner.

They started again from Blackfrlars, to sail to Wandsworth Meadows, and back to Cumberland-gardens. The Waterloo took the lead going up, but the Spitfire was the tint boat back, and consequently she won the prize. The For titude.was second. The match, on this occasion, was fairly de cided, and the Cup given to the winner. • A few days ago a woman was put to the bar of the Police Court, Edinburgh, on a. charge of being drunk and disorderly. The Magistrate said, if she would promise to abstain from drinking spirits in future, he would allow her to go without punishment. To which she replied with great candour—" Atweel no, I'll no do that ; I've ay ta'en a drappy whan I could get it..a.and I'll do sae yet."

THE XING AT THE pROSSCUTION or LORD GLINT: WORTH AGAINST CONSTANTINE MAGUIRE, ESQ. Mr. Maguire was put to the traverser's bar, and indicted for having on the 30:11 May, in the Four Courts Marshalsea, violent!) , assaulted Lord Gent. worth. Witnesses on both sides were ordered to re. tire till called fcr. Lord Glentworth was the first witness examined. His Lordship said, that un the 30th May last, while in the yard of the Four Courts Marshalsea, and in convenation wit,h a Mr. Boardman, that Gentleman said, " Here is Captain Maguire coming, don't take any notice of him ;" Lord Glentworth answered "No, I am under a promise of honour to Mr. Ormsby not to do it;' he remained with his hack to the Captain, and did not turn around ; he heard Captain Maguire utter a " pish," and shortly after received a blow on the shoulder, then a second; a third was aimed at his face, and warded off by Mr. Boardman. His Lordship was cross-examined by Mr.RICHAIDS, who addressed the Jury for the defendant. Lord NOREURY charged the Jury in the following words:--" Gentlemen, you have only to consider whether two blows of a stick comes within the mean ing of an assault." The Jury returned an immediate verdict of Guilty. Mr. Maguire was then sentenced to three months' imprisonment. • COURT OF CONSCTENM • CONDON V. CHARLES. • Saturday last, there was a very curious hearing in this Court, before Sir JOHN K. JAMIts, in which Condon, Esq. was plaintiff; and Mr. Charles, the ce. lebrated magician, was defendant. Plaintiff stated, that he sought to recover SOs. the value of a hat spoiled by defendant ; that going whiz another Gentleman, a few evenings before, to Mel Charles's exhibition, in Grafton -street, his ft iend, who had some knowledge of these matters, puzzled the magician, and gave him some little annoyance he, must confess ; on which Mr. Charles gave to each of them a " fresh egg," keeping another himself; at the same time saying, that if they would do exactly as he did, three hot omelets should be produced for the company ; he then broke the egg, and poured the captains into his hat, desiring them to do so with their' hats, which they did (here the gravity of the Magia grate had to struggle with his risible facuhies) ; and on turning their hats up, their hands and sleeves were all bespattered to their great annoyance, while Mr. Charles suffered no inconvenience, but produced his omelet. Sir JONlC—Perhaps, Sir, you would have done well to deJ mean yourself like other Gentlemen at such an exhibition. M.s Charles, will you have the goodness to go through the experls ment here, for the benefit of the company ? Mr. Charles bowed assent, amidst peals of laughter. Plaintiff said that this was no treatment for a Gene tlernan, and that the Public were concerned in such an outrage asthis of Mr. Charles's, and that he walked home at night without a hat. Sir JOHN, with great good humour, then turned to Mr. Charles, and asked what he had to say to all this Mr. Charles—My Lor, I am sorry you and I are trouble vith such a silly ding as dig is; Sir Garret Neville, I am told, dismiss this worthy jantleman yesterday, saying much laughter, and ad vising him to keep de secret, and mind de ;dyke of Sancho Patna, " The more you, &c." My Lor, in the language of your greatest Poet— " The very head and front of my offending bath this extent, " No mere: pad am I in speech, being a " Poreigner, and therefore little shall I grace My cause in speaking for myself. Pet, " By your leave, I shall a round unvarnish tale r e late " Of all, what drugs, what skarms, " What conjurations, and what mighty magic, • " I stain'd dig hat withal!"—(Loudlowester.) • Dis jantleman have come writ his friend to my exhibition; they den appear to know every ding as well as myself, and den I thinks I rill try them; there was a much large' fashionable company; my performances, either in science or slight of de band, may be acquired; my tricks are all much easy—anybody can do dem—dat is, when dey know how—( Much laughter).--a My Lor, 'tis no laugh; you remember Columbus's egg s he say, " I rill make dig egg stand on end." He too vas laugh at, bat he tap de end on de table, and de ding was done ! 'by did not the jantleman do as I did? Where is de oder jantlensan He have more sense than because he have vex himself and been ' laugh at, to come and vex at and laugh at me. . Plaln;lif—This is all nonsense, Sir, you ought to apologize. Mr. Charles—Apologize, for what? Here is your hat (taking it out of a handkerchief); you state it is spoil,- you throw it at me on my stage, and den you say you go home uucovered ; where is it injured (blowing on the hat) ; dere. HI . Lbr, Where • • is it injured ? Sir Jous.—Who knows, Mr. Condon,but the hat Jahr:proved by this magic : it does not appear to me to be injured ; you should have got Mr. Charles to blow on the hat before. Mr. Condon.—Why did he not offer to do so? Mr. Charles —Let him take his hat—" an egg today Is 'better than ashicken to- morrow." He thinks, perhaps, your Lordship and I are thickens ; but the Dutch proverb tell hint- " sobs reckon dere thickens before dey be hatched." A friend of Mr. Charles then begged he would rest his case here. As no injury had been sustained, he conceived nothing could be recovered* that Court. Plaintiff.—l have paid 50s. for a new hat foe,dlCsite you made • . use spoil, and 1 look for justice. Mr. Charles.—l make you spoil! Conte, sant, (taking two full bottles out of his pocket,) here are two bottles .of strong laudanum, taste them, take your choice, drink one of them on', I do so; bete goes (swallowing the contents of the bottle amid murmurs of horror and laughter): there, Sir; ah ! you no drink-, dat show me you know better than doss a conjuror bid you: take your hat, or shall we send it to the Mendacity, and be good humor ? Plaintiff.—Mighty tine, Sir, but Sir Joux.—Really, Gentlemen, such a cue as this is quite rare here; I can give no damiges for what plaintiff has felt about hia hat ; there is, I believe, no harm done, and I must dismiss the case with costs. The decision appeared to please the " greasy rogues" in the Court below, who, like true-Paddies, forgot for a time their own griefs and animosities to " see the fun." The parties left the Court in apparent good hu mour, and the beaver was borne by Mr. Charles's servaatto t he lodgings of the plaintiff unhurt. •' The.. robins in the suburbs -of London have begun re Make their appearance early in the morning?, and fir sing the lays with which they amuse them elves weather.
