'INbSOR tERR,Ia. ' rht.ir M.l.;EsTiEs and the PktiNcEsszx made their appearance on the Terrace, on Sunday evening, a few tu;nutes after seven o'clock, and never was there A more crowded and elegant assemblage, to welcome them, and to evince that joy which t h e i r presence Never fails to inspire in all ranks of their loyal and affectionate subjects. The crowd on the Terrace was so great that it became at last an absolute squeeze, and required the utmost exertions of Mr. EinvAays and Mr. DOW.;ETT, to form a passage for the ROYAL FAMILY and their attendants. Their MAJESTIES ap peared to be both in the highest spirits, and conversed with much animation...with several of the Nobility who were present—and also with great affability with Mr. and Mrs. TTRWHI r JONES. llis MajesTr was dressed in the full-dress Windsor uniform. The Quct:f wore a straw-coloured tiffany dress, over white ;armlet, and black lace cloak—head-dress, the same, with a cres cent of diamonds in the front. Princess An cream—thin clear-starched muslin drcu *verse bite tiffany turban, with a white late cloak. Princess Frig A SZTP-a spider-net dress, trimmed round the )attoin with an etlegant lace, teat white wave ; black lace cloak ; a bandeau of black velvet, orna=ented with a chain of pearls, and white lace handkerchief over it. Princess MAST-3 pink tiffany dress and scarf, spotted with silver k ~aerate lace veil huh,; over the shoulders. He: hair plain di eased, with a bandeau of black velvet, and several ornaments. Princesi So eum—a pia-green satinet dress, white lace veil, a bandeau of velvet, with a pearl chain ; ornaments and ear-rings of the same ; a very broad bracelet roun d the upper part of the anti, with a superb gold ornament. Princess AM xLIA-.—a lilac and white shot sarsnet dress, with a white lace cloak; bandeau of black velvet, with an elegant chain of topaze, with necklace and cross of the same. Among the company present were : The Earl of Uxbridge, Lord and Lady Boston, Lord and Lady Walsinghtun, Earl Sefton, Lord Eulkeley, the Honourable Mr. Villiers, Colonel Desbrow, &c. &c. The Park was, in proportion, as well attended as the Terrace, and the several groups formed theme, in a variety of places, to view th'c company on the Ter race ; whilst others were widely scattered o'er the scene, walking in different directions, exhibiting a coil: Aril, which, for beauty and diversity, may be Mach more easily conceived than described. The evening was remarkably fine and serene, after a most sultry day : but a little past eight o'clock, a wry black cloud gathered nearly over the Castle, which threatened both a heavy rain and thunder, and occasioned the Family to retire sooner than usual.— The two bands, the Blues and the Stafford, conti- Lued, however, to play alternately, till near nine, and a great concourse of company re:nained to listen to them, notwithstanding the gloomy appearance cf the atmosphere. The weather, notwithstanding our apprehensions, continued fair. The display of carriages in the streets of Windsor was immense. M4RGATE, AUGUST 21. This delightful place begins to assume its wonted gaiey. Even the long visages of the discontented and impatient inhabitants, now put on a smile of sa tisfaction. The town is nearly full ; nor could ac commodation be obtained, were it not for the fluctua *ion of the visitors. It is computed, not less than 300 new faces are seer. here every day. The Rooms, the Libraries, Dandelion, and the Theatre, bear testimony of the vast increase of visitors. The lovers of the ..ilfaay Riau, the admirers of Nature, the votaries of: the Blind avitirse, and the amateurs of the Histrionic lin, may all gratify their propensities, eves to satiety. ryErmourH, AUGUST 20, All is bustle and full of preparation in our Garri.

The diuncr war well conducted ; the ve nison, turtle, aud other viands, were in the finest cider; and the wines were ezo,aisite. A number of ap ropriate and lo: al toasts were drard, on the occasion, and when the comnany broke tip, every one went to Yis home &lighted with the liber dity cf the enter t ai nment. r1.7X;1A:4 r AM.—The magicians, necromancers, f re-eaters, and groups of itinerant dramatic heroes, who liad made a precipitate retreat from Camberwell Fair. p 7 tclied their flying camp at Peckham, with a detrrmination to give the credulous battle, and to plunder the village. At an early hour yesterday the banners of wonder were unfuilecl, and the spectators 'sere called to the scene of action by drums, trum pcts, organs, and rattles. Many of the vekran .frocrs enga , - , ' -ed in the cncot-iiter, fought their way to a suttling booth, where they attacked General Gr bat the latter, with the assistance of Sir John Fart-yrori, obtained a complet! victory over the assailants, and left many on the field to bite the dust.

Yesterday the following heats were rnn on Chatham Lines, by horses belonging to the Officers of the Guards in garrison there, and the Officers of the \Vest-York Militia, encamped on the. Lines. The matches were, we believe, fer good running, rarely ever excelled. They were :metaled by a large con course of fashionables. The .fineness of the day,. al though attended with some very slight sprinklings c f rain, contributed much so the enlivening of the scene. The following is the statement of the running : .' SweeFstakes of sgs. each, free fur all llorszs carrying lOst. The hest of three one mile heats. The Hon. J Allen's gr. tr.. "1 hou;3l,t-nothirg-of The Hoe. G. Pelham's cll. h.

The Icompany were much disappointed in the second heat, as it was known that Capt. Pelham had determined to make every axertion ; bat the mare won easy. Between the heats a well contested match of half a mile was run by the horses of Major Hale and Cap tain Tatham ; and for some distance they ran so close that it was difficult to form an opinion, and the bet ting was equal ; but Major Hale's horse changing his ride near the post, the other'headed him and won. .. - - MateL for SO Guineas--One nule.

This race was well contested. • S After the races, the officers entertained teir with an elegant cold collation, under a marquee pitched for that purpose on the lines. A few days ago, a horse 16 hand; one inch high, the property of Captain Tenni-, of the East York Militia, leaped through a window three feet high, and four feet w:de, nut of the shop of Mr. Wm. Nichol son, farrier, Church-street, Sunderland, without gra zing any part of his body. Yesterday, between 12 and one o'clock, as some boys were amusing themselves gathering mushrooms on the mirth side of St. James's Park, they started a fox, which ran with peculiar swiftness towards the Horse Guards ; hut by this time the word Fox was echoed in every direction, and the people were c:1 'lected in such numbers, that they prevented it from getting through the railing. Reynard immediately turned, tail, took to the Canal, and swam a consider able way up, bidding defiance to his pursuers. At length, two recruits, expert swimmers, stripped and went after him ; but they were in a short time distan ced Reynard, however, got tired of his watery ex cursion, and approached nearer the shore, when he was taken b.: Serjeant Lovie, of the Sid regiment of Foot Guards, and canied to the Guard-house in triumph. AQUATIC CAT.A.—A few evenings since, the pro menaders on the bank near Richmond.bridge were agreeably surprizcd by the appearance of her Grace the Duchess of BoorTEtioa, and a party of fashiona bles, gliding on the water in a beautiful barge,, adorned with streamers, and a rich canopy of green Persian silk. The Ladies were dressed in green, and they appeared like water divinities. A second barite . , filled with elegant company, habited also in green, rowed close to the Duchess, and when they arrived in a convenient situation, the rowers laid on their oars. Bands of music, which attended each company, then played a variety of music, and the Nobility and Gen try on the banks participated in the pleasure derived by the water party. Towards dusk the Duchess and company landed and returned to Lord STOPPORD'S. ROWING MATClT.—Yesterday the silver cup given ! by the Proprictcr of the Roe Buck, on Milbank, was • again rowed for, by four-oared pleasure-boate. The • prize was contested for on the 22. d of July ; hut, in consequence of a dispute which occurred when the boats came in, it was agreed to decide this match by another trial of skill. The boats appointed for the race, namely the Diana, Fox, and Hero, started from the Roe Buck about four o'clock, to go through the centre arch of Westminster Bridge, return back, and go round a boat moored °girlie distillery at the top of I Millbank, and from thence to a boat near the Roe • • Buck stairs. At the onset the Fcx tock the lead, and she finally won the cup inn grand syle. The Diana-, was the second boat. The competitors were young men amateurs of rowing, and they displayed much skill and resolution in their favourite exercise. -Mill- bank and the River exhibited an immense number of .spectators., and the scene was highly interesting to the admirers of aquatic sports. tCh.ZUZjittatOlt OF -711 E . . gift--Permit me to differ from your Cofrespondent, whom you call a Clergyman, but whom I must call a Farmer, as he is pleased with " Est masts in rebsis." Sir, a Clergyman cannot like a mulles, as it robs him of the natural amount of his 'tithes. The quotation would have been more in character, had he confined himself to the words immediately following : " Sunt certi denique fines." Fines are things, which no Cler. gyroan, or Fellow of a College, will refuse or slight, I am, Sir, your's &c. A PREBENUARIi. Durban, Augualt 19, taw. • Thursday died, at Southcot Noose, near Reading, in the 86th year of his age, the COMTE d'HITTOR, the Father of the Navy of France under the Monarchy. This venerable and loyal character withstood the most pressing solicitations to return to France. He determined to follow the fortunes of his King. His skill and bravery in . his profession could be equalled only by his Ch r i s tian virtues and his unbounded bene volence. To the politeness of the old French Court, he added the openness and liberality of his profession. He leaves behind him no superior, and few equals, in public and private worth. His death is doubtless a su'aject of the deepest anguish to his beloved So vereign, whom he had very lately .visited at Gosfield. Ti:esday List, the south side of the hill on which the church of Nehlcs stands, burst open during the heavy rain, and 1 . ..11 with a tremendous crash, carrying trees and rocks along with it, and nearly buried in the ruins the house inhabited by the minister of the parish, wl.ik the family were asleep. It is not a littlt extra ordinary that the church was not in the leait injured. _ _ _ Friday, after the review at Wanstead, a number of carriages were driving close together at a quick rate towards town, when a man got up behind one, and on the coachman whipping over the roof to drive him down, his foot sl;pped, when the wheel of another carriage went over his head, and killed him on the • spot. Friday night one of the ntzil carts, driving furiously Grp Pall Mall, came in contact with a gentleman's gig with such force that both the shafts were broken and the gig upset. The gentleman was thrown against some railing with extreme violence, notwithstanding which he escaped with a few slight contusions. The dangerous practice which has long been com plained of, of workmen and journeymen carpenters carrying their baskets and tools, with the point of the saw projecting out, was nearly provinl fatal to a young man on Friday evening; in turning the corner of a street hastily, the SAW caught his face, and tore it dreadfully. 17 . .eCormeall Assizes ended at &Jmin on Satur day Among the trials on the Crown side was the Kin 7; v Sir Christopher Hawkins, Bart. This prosecution, our Readers will recol4-ct, originated in a decision of the House of Commons on the report of the Committee appointed to try the merits of a late election for the burgh of Pcrnrhyn. The defendant was acquitted. The following article, which we copy from the Mzv Ton( Oracle, rece:ved yesterday, tends to shew tllat the Americans are using every exeri:in in their power, to relieve their country from the necessity of resorting to Foreign States for the supply of any ne ccslary article of clothing. " Preparations are ma l .:l4g in this city and through out the Union for celebeating the ;i3d Anniversary of Amor:an Independence, with the greatest splendour. Since the date of its first celebration the United States have not been placed in a snore critical situation than at the present period. Menaced by the European belli gerentpowers, and treaced with the greatest indignity, until nat;onal patience is exhausted, there appears to to be no remaining resort bet to war. Sufficient pro vocation has been given both by France and Eng land for this measure ; and on the score of :,:istice we would have been jnstitiable if long ere this time reta li:ttion.had been exacted for numberless indignities offered to the flan- b of the now only independent na titon in the world. The measures pursued by England and France have been of great detriment to themselves. The former, particularly, is deprived of a market for her manufactures. It is remarked, with pleasure, that resolutions have been adopted by various legislatures to appear at their next meetings in chniiing exclu sively of domestic produce and manufacture. A number of military and other associations will, on the ensuing Anniversary, also, be similarly accou tred. The spirit of improvement is rapidly spread , kg throughout the country, and we frequently hear of manutacturing establishments in distant counties where a very few years ago nothing but wilderness existed. The internal resources of the United States are inexhaustible. As population increases the high price of labour will diminish ; and even at the present time the use of machines which require but a small pro portion of manual labour is daily increasing. Raw materials are in abundance, suitable for every pur pose, and certainly we cannot complain of a great de ficiency of ingenious artists. Hitherto they have been neglected, but if the existing spirit of enterprize con tinues, instead of being indebted to foreign nations for supplies, we shall be capable of even exporting articles of various descriptions. " Attention appears to be particularly applied to spinning and weaving cotton. This article, which is abundant in the Southern States, has been a prime article of commerce to Europe in its raw state, from whence it has been re-exported to this country, wrought into different textures, at an enormous ad- . vanre. Flax-seed grows in profusion, and was also an article of commerce. A number of gentlemen in this and other States have turned their attention t. the improvement of the breeds of sheep, and the Merino, whose wool is most celebrated for fine. ness of texture and quantity, has been reared with ample, success. " Possessing all these natural advantages and re sources, we need not dread the speculative policy of European Powers. Their interests have already suf fered a severe shock from the necessity imposed of excluding them from our commerce; and although a temporary loss has accrued to ourselves, yet, should we be enabled to preserve peace, the benefits which will result from • the establishment of manufactures, to which their conduct has compelled our. citizens, will amply repay the inconvenieucies. to which we have been hitherto subjected." . , POZICE; tie. sow• Swath and lieffas Br.b4 were yesterday charged by the m.tid servant of Mt. Tancred, of Lincoln's Inn, with having got into the dining-room, at the window. The servant stated that as she was in the kitchen on Sunday evening, she heard some persons walking over head, and on going into the dining room, where the prisoner Smith was, sic, took hold of him and brought hint down stairs. She identiSed some table-spoons, a soup ladle, and a marrcw spoon, wlrich were tied in a handkerc'iief in the drawing-room. When she asked the prisoner what he did there ? he said he came in after his hat, which he had thrown into the roam.— _ ._.... The servant of Mr. Wynne, o f Lincoln's T i m;_ stated, that he saw both the ptisonzrs come into the square in company, when th...y talked togeter, parted, and then joined, and on h?a:ing the alarm of thieves, he went: to Mr. Tancred's chambers, '::here h saw the other prisoner, Brown, standing among the mob ; and recollectimg be had seen tim in company with Smith, about ball an hour before, he told Garret, the gardener of Lincoln's Inn, who secured him.— Garret then went up into the dioing-room, syhere he saw the spoons, &c. tied up as I,:f descrb:cl, lying near a knife case, in which Mr. T.'s servant had left them about half an hour betas. Several persons stated, that they had seen the prisoners lurking about the Inn for an hour and a half before the robbery, which the prisoners denied, and per:isted that they had ao kaowledge of each other. They were, how ever, committed for tri.O. MANSION HousE.—Yesterday A fary Taylor and .not Rob e rts were charged with fraudulently ob:aitt• ing possession of several pair of s!ieets. It apre.red the sheets.belonged to the barracks in the Tower, and had been given out to a Mrs. Alsop, a latndress that while they were at fle mangle, the prisons! Taylor obtained them, 'pretending she cam! from M s. Alsor, and immecra':ely pledged them for o guinea. Tne pawnbroker produced the articles, aril proved they were pledged' by Taylor, who plzaded distre s, and offered to pay the money raised cn :hem. This was not accepted, and Taylor was fully committed ior trial, but Roberts was discharged. QUEENZQUARE.—JoIin Wasnum, a sawyer, charged with defrauding Mr. Corsin, timber merchant, in Millbank, was fully tomnuittcd to take his trial at the next Old Bailey Sessions. HArroN.OAßDEN.—Yesterday an apprentice to Mr. Donne, silversmith, in Clealc:‘nwell-close, was charged with pilfering a large quantity of silvers which he sold to Jew boys at the rate of a shilling an ounce. He was sent on board the tenl:r. Edward Gitson, the man who was about nine months ago tried and convicted of setting fire to his house in Boswell -court, but whose judgment was re spited on a point of law, died in Ncwgate on Friday. Sunday several fellows who were vending News papers, and making a hideous noise, by blowing horns, &c.were taken info custody by the beadles inSt.Giles's, and confined in the watch-house. Saturday se'nnight a genteely dressed man, of the name of Powell, supposed to be an American, was, apprehended in Port Glasgow, by a Bow-street 0 ffiaer, for forging two Bills upon a mercantile house in Lon don, from whence he was carried off on Sunday se'n night, to stand trial in Lonctin. It appears he czn.e to Port Glasgow for the purpose of taking his passage on board a vet for Pictou. Wednesday morning two men of genteel appear ance, travelog apparently in their own carriage, were conveyed to Warwick, suspected of having ut tered several forged or fraudulent 51 bills i i that town and other places in their route. The men had • been at Coventry, where they passed bills to .he arnount of 251. to many respectable tradesmea, from each of whom they purchased some trifling article, and thereby received a considerable sum in ready cash, as change for their pretended 5!. notes. It having been suspected from various circumstances that the bills were not ti;ood, three Police Officers from Warwick trrced them to Daven:ry, where they were found in bed. The Officers rnhed into the renrn, presented a pistol to each of them, and threatened them with instant death if they m lie any resistance. They Were handcuffed is bed, and their pockets, &c. searched, in which were found bills to the amount of 5001. some cf which were not tits d up, others were ready for circulation. They are now at Wire:ick. One of them says his name is John Charles Fitz. hugh Sandler, the other William Hitchin. A serious accident befel Mr. March, the Banker, et Reading, daring the last day's races. He was up the lines, when the horse fell and Mr. March broke his leg. On Saturday evening a melancholy circumstance occurred to a passenger on one of the Portsmouth stage coaches : a young woman named Wilson, after having taken leave of her relatives at the Elephant and 'Castle, had not rode many yards before she be came giddy, fell from off the roof of the coach, and pitching on her .head, fractured her skull in so dread. ful a manner, that no hopes are entertained of her re. covery—she was conveyed to St. Thomas's-hospital. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE AT CORK.-011 Sunday se'nnight, as Mr/ GEORGE MITCHELL, of Pope's. quay, Mr. Fixeows, of the Royal Navy, and a young lad of the name of Seeolvan, were proceeding in a small sail boat of Mr. hltrctier.o's, of Cove, the boat upset in a very heavy squall, in consequence of the sail being carried away whilst Mr. M. was endea vouring to reef it ; and the boat's gunwale having got under water, she was instantly swallowed up in a tremendous sea. Mr. M. the young lad, and a boat-man who was on board, immediately appeared on the surface of the surge—notwithstanding the perturbed State of the sea, Mr. M. regardless sof his own life, seized the lad with one hand, whilst he en deavoured to swim with the other, whereby he kept him above water fora considerable time, until the rude attack of a saucy wave forced the boy from his intrepid farm, and immersed them both for some mi nutes ; but having appeared again, a boat with some men from the Trent fortunately came to their relief, and rescued them, together with the boatman, from a watery grave—but the ill-fated FELLOWS was en tombed in the bott.om of the deep, having gone down with the boat. Thus has this unfortunate Gentle man, after a long and honourable service cf nearly' fifty years in his Majesty's Navy, found his grave is the river of Cork. n 1 . 't Ix nCe
