2'il s t;.Y.4CllT CLUB. . _ . Corn, AEGHTST 7.7—At a General Meeting of the Royal Yacht Club, on the Ist initial*, ./he , t h a nk s o f t he Club were voted to Riar:Adtsliio the Him. Sir CHARLES PAGET, for his kiudneis in bringing to. the Regatta the Royal Squadron tinder. his coossnand, consisting of his . -11.13t.ty's-yachtsihe Royal Geo*, Royal Sovereigni.and Princ r e y egnit, and the'Rin Ms max and. CA.ELIick.K I ?lntiOgWar. whose presence'sss g reatly increased t h e . beantrof the scene. to. which Sir CHARLES, in expressing' his acknowledgments,, state d the pleasure' afforded to the Officers of the Royal Squadron by the ethibition of so grand:erne rine display, and his own satiafaction.that its presence should have been thought conducive to theteueral interest excited on that occasion. The Regatta of last week having attracted to 'Cowes *numerous assemblage of yachts, the sailing Meet ing took place sn the 4th instant, being the first Mon eayin August, and created considerable observation, f r om its being almost the first time of carrying into e ffect the new Signal Code, which was done with much skill and readiness by all the Members present. At ten, A. at. the Hon. C. A. Pec.RAM, Commo dore for the day, made the signal to sail ft-one the Roadstead, and on the Squadron being under weigh, to form line on the larboard tack. The Commodore then led to the Westward, and the yachts worked down as far as Newtown, with a fresh breete from SW. The next signal was to bear up together, and presently afterwards to form in two columns, in which order the squadron, led by the Falcon, ran for Calshnt Castle, and up Southampton-water. At foist o'clock the Commodore ordered the fleet to tack,' the van division forming ahead, and the rek astern of the Falcon; and having got out of the River, the signal was hoisted to part company, and the several vessels returned to their moorings at Cowes. Amok; the yachts in company this day, besides the Falcoa, Ship-Comm-'done the lion, C. Pettlaat, were—. Mariqii of Anglesey's Pearl. Ivr G. Thomas's Sr G. Leeds's Ruby. Mr. lialllfax's Oriel.

A new Farce, in two acts, called /mill /meta Wife! was brought nut last night at this Theatre with suc cess. It is done, we understand, by Mr. PLANCFIE (a translati , n from the French); and owes its effect chiefly to the following arrangements : —Admiral Firedrake (Mr. DA aT r.Ey )—foity years a sailor ! twenty years po.t, in the good ship Thunderbolt—ten !e.irs since at ease, an Admiral of the Blue—with quite as many thousands as he can wish for before lam, and rather more year:, than he could wish for behind him—buys a mansion in the country, and rants a n iie to complete the furniture of it.. Ai it: is J love for the sex generally which afflicts the worthy Admiral, rather than a spe:ific inclination for any par ticular Lady, he finds it ettsrto resolve that "be will bare a wife," and not quite so easy to determine who that wife shall be; but having madeup his mind, at all vents, to fix upon one damsel of a given three, be invites all the three (with an old Lady, to save scandal), to his villa in Somersetshire, and the Piece opens'on the morning when he purposes definitively to declare his choice. This beginning leads happily enough to the equivoques which Are to follow. The three Lad:es —quite unconscious of the honour intended them— bare been, without knowing it, a week upon trial; aid the vete! an—secure he cto throw the Itandker clief as he pleases—delighted at having the game .ompletely in his own hands—is strutting about with all that satisfaction and self-complacency in which lovers of fifty are apt to i::dulge, where there are n. , *" puppies" of five-and-twenty in their way, when those perplexities commence, which, time out of mind (upon the Stake), have made audiences merry, and amorous old Gentlemen very miserable. theakfast is ordered ; but a klit.Ck comes at the gate. This is Captain Fired rake (Mr. PEARMAN). of the j 10th Hussars, the AJmn ars nephew —got leave of j absence, and come to spend the shooting season.l Provoking, at such a' moment I but the uncle takes !

The animal of three Gentlemen where three Ladies are already present, might bode little good to a fan* party— draniatic license set apart; but to the gallant Ad steal at the Lyceum, it proves peculiarly unlucky. 'Living settled his doubts (after breakfast) by draw.' ing lots, he proceed; to break his mind to Mrs. So '4eiTille (Miss L DANCE), and is stopped, just in time, 'y an intimation .n; her part, that she is mart ied to Ir.O'Leary, the Gentleman who travelled the wrong ay in the stage-coach.

Lords, the Robing-room, and Passages, Were sold by auction, under the order of the Sur veyor-General of hie Majcsty's Office of Works.— The , demolition of this venerable pile does not ex tend to the Painted Chamber, .whch is to remain some time longer. The whole of the structure to be, pplled down must, according to the terms of Sale, be moved off by the purchasers in the course of fourteen days. The gothic stone arches in the brick and stonework were not sold, but retained by the Board of Works. The Public on this occasion found a good oppor tunity to examine the famous subterranean vaults, in which Gisydo Fawkes acid the other conspirators laid the powder to blow np King James and his Parlia ment. The door to the vault from Cotton Garden, by which the traitors entered, is now bricked up. The moment they bad passed that door they were under the Robing-room, where the King and Royal Family put on their Parliamentary robes. Some distance further in the vaults they were under the Royal Throne, where the King took his seat. Had the train been lighted, according to the plan of the conspira tors, the catastrophe must have been terrible indeea. The appearance of the vaults is altered by the brick ing op of arches and paving; but. no one who has seen the place can doubt for a moment that every fa cility was afforded for the execution of the intended explosion. The scene of the bloody project will soon pa s away with the destruction of the building, which is to be replaced by another range, under the direc tion of Mr. Soane. The roof timber is discovered to be of chesnut, and not of oak, as some supposed. It is still sound, and would no doubt stand a century longer. • We are not prepared to state the precise time at which the building was erected.. The House of Commons, which adjoins the House of Lords, was, according to Stowe, a Chapel founded by King Ste-, phen, in 1141. It was new-built by Edward 111. in 1347, wI had his Court on the spot. The House having been surrendered to Edward VI. it has been from that time used as a Parliament House. _.O .the authority of Stowe, we may conclude that the ancient walls and roof have been standing 500 years In the reign of James .I. the House had a number of smaller buildings adjoining. Do W-STREET.—Latorence Cleary was charged with having stolen 39 sovereigns, the property of T. Foy. Foy is a bricklayer, who has been able to accumu late a decent sum of money, which he placed in the funds. About a month ago he had occasion for a part of it, and went to the Bank, where he got £39 145.6 d. in three £lO notes, nine sovereigns, and silver ; which notes he changed for sovereigns,- and putting the gold into the very bottom of his breeches pocket, and keeping his hand carefully upon it, he bent his course towards Whitcomb-street, where he resides. 'As ill luck would have it, however, he met a female relation . of his in Fleet-street ; and in the fulness'of his heart, he treated her and himself so liberally with strong liquors that he got completely drunk. He parted with her in Wych-street, at which time he had his money sate, and went home to bed. ' He was a private watchman to a Gentleman in Waterloo-place., and his wife seeing him unfit for duty requested - the prisoner, who lodged in the hduse, and who had been supported by them, 'when out of won k. for some months, to go on the watch until he should get better. He, however, excused himself, by saying he was going to a raffle in Mary-la-bonne, and went away. - When Foy awoke he missed his mo ney—every sixpence was gone. It so happened, that the prisoner had been for some time courting one Katlilin O'Connor (a pretty little blue-eyed Irish girl), but her friends "having a trifle of money" to give her; held their heads " above Larry and the likeof him," and declared she should have nothing to say to him. On the very night of poorFoy's loss, Larry (prisoner) went to . Kathlin and produced a good handful of so. vereigns upon the table, and said—" There, Miss Katblin O'Connor, just clap your eyes upon teat little bit of yellow stuff, and - then go tell your father and mother they need not be so stiff, for I .have a bit of foitin ye see as well as your own self. Will ye have I me now ‘Kathlin ?" "O faith, Larry, and I will," said she, and it was agreed upon that the ceremony should be performed as early as possible. Meanwhile Larry told his good fortune to all his friends, and treated them with gin galore; but it unfortunately happened, ' that he gave very different accounts of the manner in which he became possessed of the money. To Foy. and his wife he said he found it in the street, on his way to the raffle; to another, that it was given to him . by a girl who had " picked it" from a foreigner; and to others that be had got it from Kathlin s friends. These circumstances induced Foy to bring-him before the Magistrate. Mr. Mtinaina.—" Well, Larry, will you tell me how you got this money r•—•• Fait your Honour, VU do that same,' said Larry. " Your Honour must know, that when Tom—that's Tom Foy I mane—came home drab, Mrs. Foy said to me,' says she, Larry, will you go watch for Tom tillthe liquor is out of him &bit, I'd Monk I'd do that willingly (said I) but I ant golds to a rank; and as I have no money I shall thank you to pawn a pair of breeches have for half-a-crown. She would net pawn to breeches, so I thought rd just can upon a tocsin of mine by the way sod berry it. 'So, your Honour, I started off, ant when I got near the Haymarket I seed an ould ~bias is the stones before me • so I pm it a kick and it rat- ' tied, and says Ito myself, L arry you have got summit here,' and then your Homer I picked It up, and found in it 48 sove reigns, and three half-crowns. Blessed be Goo, says I, for all his mercies! for this must be sent an purpose, that's stare enough. And so, your Honour, I walked home again, praising Goa for his bountiful mercies. And that's all I have to say; and long life to your I 1 onour Btaxic.—"What did ymt withaesestkintr'—urry. s-re I wowed itt away directly, your He rear, k was of no use to tn.';...al mau." Jing . asked the same questimi afterwards,he said, he kept it for two or thses days. His wife—for he had married Kathlin—w . eaped.ia ; and being questioned, said she saw tb4isockltit; it was a new.. one, and he kept it about a fortnight. The prisoner said, he was sure it was 48, and not $8 sovereigns-he had found, and he had 20 left; but he CouTd notgive a clear account of what he had done with the °tiler-28. blagistrate.—" I have no doubt this was Foy's money, and I L-luse send you to prison."—Larry.

So late at January last, the averagikprice of wheat was 395. per quarter, anion the 29th ult. it was above 625. As it has been rising ever since, it may now be quoted as little under 655. So Plat in this article alone, there is a rise of more than thirty five per cent. Under these circumstances, it is not likely that we shall hear anything of Agricaltaal Distress. A writer of considerable talents, but no prophet, had fright ened the kingdom by a confident prediction, that Wheat, after the Ist of May, would sink to 4s. per bushel, and that, under the effects of Mr. Peel's Bill, and the payments in cash by the Bank , of England, it would never again exceed that price. Nay, so as sured was Mr. Cubbett of the mathematical certainty of his deductions on the subject, that he did not hesi tate to make use of the following language;—." and further, if what I say does not come to pass, I will give any one leave to broil me on a gridiron; and for that purpose I will get one of the best gridirons I can possibly get made, and it shall be hung out as near to by premises as possible, in the Strand, so that it shall be seen by every body as they pass !along." The first of May has now passed—Mr. Peel's Bill has not been repealed—and the Bank of England has paid its notes in -cash, and yet Wheat' has risen nearly 40 per cent. In Manufactures there is the like ground for sa;hfection ; for no one can deny that these are now • in e state of activity sufficient to givq, employment to all the capital embarked in them, In the principal branches there has been ate - augmentation to a con siderable;extent, within these law years past. In January, 182), the value of out,cotton manufactures exported, was 20,509,9291. in Sanuary, 444, the value of the same manufacture. was 24,566,9191 — The value of our woollen manufactures 00824 was 4,362,9731. in Januiry, 1823,..it was increased to 5,940,1471. In silk, the value in January, 1821, was, 118,3711. and in January, 1823, it was 141,0004 In Commerce it has been supposed that there was a past falling off ; but it is a fact, that. the amount, our,tonnage at present very weerly.cerresponds with its highest amount during the war, zed that the resumption of their trade by the contipenml nations ,has had little effect ist diminishing ours. - In 18214, the amount of our registered tonnage was 2,644393 pounds, and in 1823, it was 2,519,044 pounds.. In 1821, the value of our total exports was 48,951;4671- whereas in the following . year it was 53;464,1221. . Tar HAavasz.—The corn fields throughout Sus sex have a very promising appearance. Wheats. are healthy, and of good.quality, with abundance of straw. Barley is also looking very well..- Harvest has commenced with peas, and it, is expected that wheats will generally be brought. under the sickle in about a week. The late rains have sot Wanted -the corn. • Matrarce tells us that an Indian Monarch began a sumptuous gallery covered with lattice-work of emeralds and rubies, that represented grapes when they were green, and when they began to grow ripe.

MONMOUTHIIIIRIL—We are informed, that the dif ferences between the Masters and their workmen of the Llanelthy iron-works, are at length adjusted, after the men have been out of work for nine weeks, by the removal of the principal grievances complained of by the latter. A wall is, we understand, to be built around the yard, to prevent depredation on the workmen's coals. A considerable reduction in the rent of the workmen's houses, it ix also reported, is to take place, and the colliers are to be paid by the masters for cutting coals for the use of certain houses, which have been, heretofore, supplied partly or wholly with coals taken from the tram-waggons, before their contents were weighed. •---• •• • .
