Her Majesty and the five Princesses were pre s ent, attended by the Royal Dukes, all in the Windsor uniform. Their splendid retieue had also the ad dition of several Officers of the Court. His Ma j.:sty did lint t.enour the Course with his presence. This was the only drawback upon the usual eclat of the cloy. The crowds that attenled the Course were great beyond example. All the lodgings hr Is. sod every other place of accommodation. in Windsor and its vicinity, were engaged on Monday night, and hundreds sat up the who!e night. From day-light, yesterdey morning, the roads were covered with the numerous company, No bility, (;entry, and Farmers, crowd:ng from the neighbouring towns. The appe trance of the Heath was deligritful. An elegant pavilion, a two marquees, we: c placed at the turn of the condi, for the accommodation of Her Majesty and the Princesses. Opposite the Judge's box, was ano ther for His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. A range of bouths and stands over them, were fittest tip to the right of the corny:, besides show; of eve:y description ; the whole scene was all bustle. Carriages et every desvipion were place) on the left of the course, besides numerous horsemen At eoe o'clock, Her Majesty, and the fire Princesses, in three carriages, arrived on the ground, and were received by their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Dukes of Yolk, Cumberland, Kent, Cam bridge, and Sussex, who had previously arrived in *bar rattail', tartiagm. Her Majesty and three of the Princesses were dressed in white Spanish mantles; Princess Mary wore a black lace mantle ; and Princess Antelia a white lace scArf, lined with blue; they all were Gipsey hats. His Royal High. mess the Prince of Wales was drcss:d in da'k bot tle -alien; and his Royal Brothels in the Windsor uniform. After the Royal ram;ly had taken refreshments, they walked on the mound inclosed for diem. His Royal Highness the Priitce of Wales, and his Royal 3rothers, frequently rode Coll their chargers over the course, and entered into conversation with many of the Gentlemen present. Amongst those that came in elegant tterriage were, the Marquis and hlatchioness Cornwallis, in a chariot drawn by four greys t the Earl of Chatham, Earl Sandwich, Lord and Lady Ash /it oink, Sir Theophilus Metcalf, and D. Scott, Esq. displayed eh gant equipages.—As soots as the start tilg hell had rung, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales gnt into his own stand, and conversed with the Marchioness Cornwallis and the Ho nourable Mr.. Villers. The Royal tents were sur roonded with Ladies, all pressing to catch a sight el the Princesses. Her Majrty did not quit the Kivilion during the whole day. It was six o'clock ri they left the ground and returned to Windsor. • tn., happy to say that no accident occurred to • - t„) the phi asor - r .l t h e d ay . : tie course was not cleared till eight o'clock, the principal part of the comp my returned to , viticisbr.

ACADE air. The Students of the Royal Academy yesterday waited upon Henry Fuseh. Esq. R.A. Keeper of the Royal Academy, at his apartments in &mei set II .use, for the purpose of presenting Mm with a Vase, ■s a token M their gratitude for the benefit which they had derived from him since his appoint :went to that office, for the excellence and utility of his instiuSions, and his affability and attention upon every wcasion. The Students met at eleven o'clock, aad were introduced into Mr. Fuseles apartment, where the Vase was placed upon a table. Mr. Ilaydon, one of the Stewards, then came forward, and, with an appropriate address, present ed it to Mr. Fuseli, whn received it 'n a manner highly gratifying to the Students ; ai. Althoulh extremely affected by this proof of their gratitude and afFeaion, returned thanks in a speech full of pathos and eloquence. Mr. Mittman next came forward, and expatiated. with forceful eloquence, upon the advantages of pursuing their studies with diligence and energy. 'lle Students then adjourned, to partake of an elegant cold collation. provided by Mr. Fuseli. The scene concluded wilt the Students drinking health, happiness, and hug life, to Mr. Fuseli ; ai d after wards to Mr. instils th, for his sero us support the wishes of the students, ancip to prosperity to the Arts. The former was so much afteked with the previous scene, he could not join the company al terwards. We understand this mark of gratitude was pro posed. some time ago. at a Geomral Meeting, by Mr. H. Sass, seconded by Mr Lane, and received with enthusiasm by their Fel., v-Students ; and Mr. Haydon and Mr. Sass were deputed to ap prise \lr. 1 usele of weir intentions 'rile Vase is executed in silver, f!.im a design 311:4. the antique, bi Plumy).

The Pro fesswallip of Painting being now vacant, the Aca demy cnaid not do better than to reinstate him in that office, where he has already given such &Lin stashed proofs of his superiority. A later from Kingstoe, Jamaica, May I I , says—. A cause of a very novel and interesting nature came on to be tried at the Court House of this city, on Monday last; it was an alien instituted for an excess of juriedittion. by Mr. Charles Lake, against Mr. Robinson. as President of a Court Martial, which sat on a trial of Mr. Lake, in January last. on certain charges exhibited against him by Colonel Marston, of ese Port Royal Regiment, for a neglea of duty and disobedience of orders. It appeared by the evidence. that the Court Martial had exceeded the powers vested iu them, and pronounced judg. meat against Mr. Lake, contrary to evidence, by which be had been compelled to pay a fine of 501. a warrant having been issued against him for that sum, and he was to stand committed until the fine was paid. Every argument which ingenuity could suggest. or professional knowledge cosh,' devise, was used, as stAl as the highest legal authority citeJ, by the Counsel. . . . trial lasted front an early hour in the morn ing until s ix o'cioek in the e►ening. when the Jury Rave a verdiet of 2501. damages, with costs, against the Defendants."

The Trdenw, LISTON, from Zante, is arrived in the Downs; she sailed from hints on the 28th April, and from Gibraltar on the 231 May. The Amphisa, with a convoy for England, was to sail from Gibraltar the next day. The fall of rain, at Bury St. Edmond's. on Fri day and Saturday last. and during the succeeding night, was greater than had been remembered for sever al lea; s in the same space of time ; nearly all the meadows at the South and East side of the town being flooded.—lt is feared great injury must have been sustained throughout the whole level of the Deus.

On Friday evening, it b to rain, and con. nued almost incessantly t t ilf aid Saturday afternoon, about five o'clock. fn consequence of the great fall, the roads, in several paces, became impassable On the road near Kimbolton Turnpike, a man en deavouring to pass on horseback, the stream over • powered his horse, and the rider providentially caught hold of th- branch of a treo, where he re mained, till a rope was thrown to him, to which he fastened himself, and was drawn biota his perilous situat ion. At Great Naughton, a village about 4f miles from Kiinholton, towards London, a Mali, teiGna ing to a Grocer, .411 GAznanchester, won hid been to Kimbi.ltoo. with articles in that line, nn his return in the evening, before dark, in attempting to pass the bridge, the stream overpowered Avis .e, and man and horse were both drowned ; a dray passed about the same time, but, from the • superior strength of the horses, get safe. The Oandle coach could not proceed farther than Limbolton. on Saturday evening ; and this morning waited two hours after their usual time of setting out from thence, preceded by a man on horse back, and the Master of the White Lion Inn, lead ing the fore-horses. The water at Stonely, one mite from the town, was four tees high. The town of Kimboltnn was nearly under water, this morning, at six.

The death of John Colelough, Esq. of the county of Wexiord, has excited so universal a eensation of sorrow, that we should net fulfil she duty we owe to the public, were we to omit the opportunity of ' paying our sincere tribute of esteem to the memory of a man dear to freedom, to liberality, and to be • nevelenee. The spirit waists wauld harm seise our people, and render them happy arid noised, was the impulse of his condisat, and the stimulator of his activity. As loyal as any man, he considered Vie protection of the poor, and the shielding the fe.-l ings of the peasant, against the malignity of party. End the ascendancy of m inopoly, as the most faith- Pial performance of his elle* vice to his Sovereign, end the certain and invincible defence of the em pire. His ambition was to make men loyal through tie medium of their affe..9-.ns--to snake t :.w the vindicattor, and not the pasecuter of an u - ..lng country—to put down a party, and to rate of people, His whole life was diredted to this great and glorious pursuit, and even the last moments of his existence asserted the sights of his countrymen to the free anti .dependent exercise of their elettive franchise. As a public charaaer we wish to con sider him ; as such we knew and admired his prin ciples, which, at a period like the present, am the ' best calculated to heal the wounds of a long-sitffer sing nation.. His private charatter was m nired with all mine amiable virtues which insured the sift...lion. 1 and no* call forth the tears of his ataiifted family ; but the hold which be had of the hearts of his coon trynt-n was CO strong, their zeal for his exaltation so warm—their deep and melan :hole sorrow for his fete are tne best rvi loners of his value, and the un erring stwidard of his 1 , 154. When the creatures of party aad bigotry shall moulder in the dm, un heeded and forgotten, patnoti.us will be found m eirning over his tomb t and the tears of an unpto tened peasantry will be ‘en, to fill for him who heed and died in their detene... We hope that is woo nn y succeed to his estates, may also succeed CO his virtues and to its eotaraeter ; and when aboo: to quit th e. transkowy seine. tear he, like his eeeeilent predecessor, demand to the grave wish the blessings of his countrydiedl-•-f Diae goe , iiej earl The King of Prussia spares Ilts pains to restore harm ny between Sweden and Russia ; it is said that the Emperor Alexander has made proposals of accommodation to His Swedish Majesty. We are informed that the Kiag of Saxony has consented to the convocation of the diet of his states t but the period at which this gen,ral meeting is to be assemhled, is not known. The Signs Minister is incessantly occupied with the establishment of a new system of finance. Several small states in the North of Germany have been admitted into the Confederacy of the Rhine. They are to furnish their contingents for the Grand Army. One day last week, a boy, named STARLIT, had the esidortnne to fall from a considerable height. in a chesnut tree, to the ground, by which accident both his arms were broken at the wrists; but a Mr geon having been immediately procured, the file. tures were reduced, and the youth is in a fair way of recovery. Some tew days ago, a man went frog Dalling ton. to Hellingly, to be married, but not being provided with a certificate of the Wan. brei.l7, been regularly published, the Minister era tin,i, r the. necessity of postponing the wedding *id the follow ing day, not thinking it posiible that the man could return in time, Si, great a distance, en foot. for the performance of the cerem soy sooner. He was, however. deter mined to make the attempt, and after pulling oil his hat, and committing it to the care of his intended bride, started from the church yard, at full speed. and returned to Hellingly 20 minutes before twelve, completing a distance of nearly 20 miles, in ritadtly two hours and S 5 mi nutes, to the grer iy of the betrothed damsel, who anxiously waited his arrival, which had no sooner taken place, than a congratulatory salute was ex changed, when the fond coast- repaired to the Hymeneal altar, and were ro4Je happy.

He grounded his judgment, no , merely on the lapse of time, in nut renewing or tendering a lease fir a renewal to the lessors, on the ternsineri et It Om original I fAse of 173 G, but also on the ci.com. stance of e City having sold the premises demised to them by the first lease, and along with them other premises, the property of Mr. Gennon, the lessor, not included in such original demise, to the Com mittee of Biackfriars' Bridge, in the y'ar 1760. its violation of their covenant wit's Mr. Gennen, without c tiling upon Mr. Tunic- to consent. It appeared, that the City had passed a Bond e,f In demnity to the Bridge Committee, for the sum of 60001. to secure the Colltmittee against the chine of Turner ; and that the City had, in 1775, «ono it their hill against the mother of Turner, for a spe cific execution of the original covenant, instead of following uo the earns, Abel fined it, and *sec: toed a lease fawn her, who had only a life estate in the whole. and a reversionary right to her heirs of one moiety only, without any regard to the present Mr. Turner's right to the other moiety, upon step mother's deceits, (he being a son by a frirm•e erfly riAge).

This latter lease, said his Lordship. was utterly impossible to be crecuted, or Lifted u'sd-r, and it was made so by the City themselves, wham ads in this case were irrecnncileable with law or reason, nor did the acceptance of rent cure it.
