WINDSOn, SEPT. 15._-His MAJESTY continues to em brace every opportunity of enjoying his favourite mode of re creation, the exercise of which daily evinces his Majesty's im provement in health. Yesterday forenoon his Majesty was engaged with public business until nearly half-past one o'clock, when two messengers were forwarded to town with dispatches, after which his Majesty, with his usual attendants and retinue, I,ft the Royal Lodge, and proceeded by Norfolk Farm and the Obelisk to Virginia V.'ater, where his Majesty enjoyed for nearly three hours the amusement of angling, in which he is generally successftil. This day his Majesty's suite is ordered, if the weather is favourable, to be in readiness at two o'clock. DEPARTURES FROM TOWN, &c.

CIIELTEXIA3I, SEPT. 14.—The water drinkers at the dif ferent Spaii were extremely numerous this morning in Tense quence of the fineness of the weather, particularly from half- ' past eight till ten o'clock, during which time the Promenades at the Spas were egtremely full of company. The Bands at the three Pump RooixiS made the scene quite enchanting.— The Duke of Buckingham, who had been confined for the last few days with a slight atta ; dc of the gout, attended at the King's Old Well, for the first time : since his recovery, to drink the water, and afterwards joined in 'the Promenade. Among the company were the Bishop of Kilisioe, . Sir John Sher. brooke, and other distinguished characters. Vie Promenade at the Montpellier Spa was extremely numerous, the band at which played " Bid me discourse;" with much taste, arid many other excellent pieces.—This has been a fluctuating season with us; we are fuller now than we have been since the month of May. The imperial Hotel lately turned away about forty carriages. Aisiong the improvements and additions are the Regent Baths, in Regent-street, near the Post-office, which have been iately opened, containing forty baths, consisting of shampooing, vapour, self-acting, shower, artificial, &c. baths. LEAMINGTON, SEPT. 14.—This place is at present very full, and the company of the first distinction. The Duchesses of Rutland and Newcastle are here, with a long train of the Nobility. Last night there was a splendid dress ball at Ellis ton's rooms, under the patronage of Sir W. Cuningham Fairlie, Bart., M.P., and Sir John Ribson, Bart., which was attended by upwards of 150 of the first personages here and in the neighbourhood. SANDGATE.—Those of our Readers who arc acquainted with this delighful watering place, from having sojourned there, will feel gratified to learn that the season has hitherto been equally favourable in regard to the number and rank of the visitants, as the weather has proved delightful for the enjoy ment of the sea breezes, and the beautiful walks and romantic views with which this part of the coast abounds. The bathing cannot be surpassed between Margate and Penzance; and, while Sitndgate is free from the bustle and noise of larger water ing-places, the musical and other entertainments at the Library are sufficient to prevent the intrusion of ennui. RAmSGATE.—The vast accumulation of company-venders this delightful watering-place able to vie with any of its con temporaries, and in title and fashion carr stift4ain many. Its buildings, as well as its visitants, begin to acquire stateliness and elegance. Its harbour needs no eulogium. Among the latest arrivals are—Her Royal Highness the Duches s of Kent and her lovely daughter; Mrs. Coutts, &c. The new church is rapidly proceeding. The zenith of the season, at Ramsgate, is autumn, nor does it close with the year,. but as a town of winter resort it is rapidly rising into estimation. Its air, situa tion, and healthy atmosphere, will ensure its increasing poularity. SVEYmOUTH, SEPT. 15.—Arrivals ; Lady Hippisley and family, Dr. and Mrs. Fox and family, Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Dakhla, Mr. Knyffton, Mr. Luxton, Mr. Johnstone, Mr. Rock, Mr. Cartwright, Mr. Bower, Mr. Stephens, Mr. Townly, Mr. and Mrs. Ricketts, Mr. and Mrs. Coleman, Mr. and Mrs. Koff and family, Mr. and Mrs. Tinney and family, Mrs. llopkius son, Mrs. Cole, Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Bell, Mrs. Vaughan, Mrs. Frott, Mrs. Gibbs, Mrs. Porter, Mrs. Galbrith, Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Mappleson, Miss Coles, Miss Tanner, Miss Cammeyer, Miss Hill, Miss Jones, Miss Reynolds, Miss Grindle, Miss Nicholetts, Miss Samber, Miss Warner.—On Tuesday even , ing Lady Clarke gave an elegant entertainment to the Officers of the 2d Dragoon Guards, the Countess of Howth, Ladies C. and E.

Her Lady ship and Lady Sarah enjoy excellent health. DIEPPE.—The Duchess de Berri has returned to this place from Boulogne and Calais; and Dieppe will no doubt continue for a long period, as it has been all the season, extremely gay. A number of good houses have been recently built, and the place is altogether much improved in appearance. Taylor's Hotel has been constantly filled with the most fashionable coin ; pang. The Duchess bathes regularly in the sea, and numbers go daily to witness her ablutions ; this is, to our English no tions, a strange practice, but it seems perfect l y au re g le here. The Duchess is in excellent health. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lady Sarah Robinson left town on Wednesday for the residence of the ;Marquis of Salisbury, at Hatfield. Baron Solomon Rothschild and his Son leave town to-mor row evening for Paris, on their way to Vienna. Earl Spencer arrived yesterday at the Earl of Essex's seat, Cashiobury Park, from Althorpe, Northamptonshire. UNFORTUNATE SEPARATIONIN 1-1 IGII LIFE.—A Noble Earl, the son of the Gallant Marquess who made a memorable speech in the House of Lords upon the Catholic Question, during the last Session of Parliament, ha's separated, we learn; from his amiable Lady, it is said by mutual consent; and in. compatibility of temper is assigned as the cause.---(Morning Chronicle.) •Imm•MOIN. Dispatches, dated July 22, have been received at the Colonial Department, from the Captain. General and Governor in Chief, Sir CHARLES TURNER, at Sierra Leone. The rainy season had commenced. Great activity has prevailed for some tune past at the Recruiting Department, Westminster, which has for the last two months been dailN filled with a number of recruits, who occupy the pavement to the great inconvenience of the public. GIBRALTAR, AUG. 20.—A Spanish falucha, arrived to-day from Catalonia, was plundered yesterday by a Colombian brig privateer of al most all her cargo, stores, &c. Another Colom bian schooner is also reported to have been in the Straits three days since. AuG. 22—The Busy, Penfold, from London, which arrived yesterday, was run foul of by a bark in beating up the Gut, which carried away her bowsprit; the bark continued her course, w ithout g ivin g an y `assistance. DREADFUL CATASTROPHE. LAUNCH OF THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE. PoitT6MOUTII, SEPT. 14.—At about one o'clock, or a quarter of an hour before the Princess Charlotte was let off the slip on which she was built, a most dreadful accident happened, as the public were crowding over the bridge across the dock, wherein it was intended to bring the launch. There are three docks, all of 'which were dry, and every preparation to receive the launch was made. tinder each bridge there are flood-gates to let the water in or keep it back ; the comber now tilling two feet above the usual height, the weight of this water carried away the flood-gates on which the middle of the bridge rested, and the whole of the crowd passing thereon fell into the dock, and were hurled over and over, the water falling three or four and tweenty feet before it came to a level—the whole mass of people hurled away to death in a moment. As the bridge is upwards of eighty, or nearly ninety feet, as it appears to me, across, and about four feet six inches wide, you may judge how many persons it would hold, closely wedged together, and all pressing to be over first, to get a good stauding pace. 1 judge there might be nearly loft on at the time it gave way ; the number lost it is as yet impossible to ascertain. Eleven are now dragged up, but as there happens to be two ships in the basin or comber, and they cannot work the engine to pump out the water, until ships are properly shored up, all the la bourers are ordered into the dock-yard all night, to proceed as fast as possible to forward the work, and get the water out.— There were 100,000 persons there altogether, and never was such a scene of woful countenances ; every body dull ; all in dread that their nearest friends had perished ; mothers crying and in hysterical fits ; children frightened ; and, in fact, all looked like ghosts.

The ship was launched at tire minutes After twelve ollock. About five mi nutes before twelve the scene was dreadfully altered, 1)7 the flood-gates, which dam out the water from one of the largest docks in the yard, givin way, which precipitated about 30 per sons, who were on' a bridge_ that rests on the crown of the gates by iron stanchions, and they, were plunged into the dreadful abyss of the dock, which is about 33 feet below, and at the same instant the powerful rush of the water, which was kept back by the gates, which was 27 feet perpendicular and 40 feet wide, which fell into the cavity of the dock upon the unfor tunate victims. In a quarter of an hour after, nine bodies were • carried to the Surgery, and after every exertion by the medical • gentlemen, seven of them were restored ; and after dragging for the whole of the night, and up to this time,. 22 persons were • taken out, namely, 15 dead, and seven recovered. It is sup. posed that aboizt eight more are not found, and the dock cannot be pumped dry ti:l to-morrow morning at six o'clock, when the ' full extent of this filtal accident will be correctly ascertained. The extreme anxiety 4md distress occasioned in the town by the diffi,Tent persons who Kati part of their families there, is better imagined.than described. The Monday previous these were upwards of 300 men working - in the Dock, who, had the acci dent happened at that time, every one of thorn must inevitably have perished. Three Juries are now sitting, and the first have returned " Accidental Death." I write this in the Jury Room. I send you the names of the deceased found at present • George Bull, aged 2 years.

It is ascribed to the pen of Sir NV ALTER SCOTT Sacred•to the Memory of COLONEL .101 IN CAMERON, Eldest son of Sir Ewan Cameron of Fassiferm, Bart. Whose mortal remains, Transported from the field of glory, where he died, Rest here with those of his Mrefathers. During twenty years of active military services, With a spirit which knew no fear, and shunned no • danger, He accompanied, or led, In marches—in sieges—in battles, The gallant 92d regiment of Scottish Highlanders, Always to honour—almost always to victory. And at length, In the forty-second year of his age, Upon the'memorable sixteenth day of June, A. D. 1818, Was slain in the command of that corps, While actively contributing to achieve the decisive victory of • WATERLOO, Which gave peace to Europe. Thus closing his military career With the long and eventful struggle in which His services had been. so often distinguished. He died lamented By that unrivalled General To whose long train of success and victory He had so often contributed— BY HIS COUNTRY, Front which he had repeatedly received marks Of the highest consideration, ANto BY HIS SOVEREIGN, Who graced his surviving Family With those marks of honour Which could not follow to this place Him whose merit They were designed to commemorate. READER, Call not his fate untimely, Who, thus honoured and lamented, Closed a life of Faine by Death and Glory. WINCHESTER, SEPT. 15. The Anniversary of the Natives' Society for the apprenticing out Poor Children was appointed for this day. The Stewards, Chaplains, Trustees, and boys who are not yet out of their time, met at the George Inn a little before eleven, and, preceded by a band of music, marched in procession to the Cathedral, where they were met by the Dean and Prebendaries, who proceeded immediately to celebrate Divine Service. The prayers were read by the Dean ' assisted by Dr. Newi,olt and the Rev. Wm. Westcombe. Dr. Chard presided at the organ. The Chaplain (the Rev. Wm. Carr, Rector of Ileadbourn Wortley) delivered a most excellent.. discourse from the 36th verse of the 9th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles; the part which the learned gen tl ema n most dwelt on was the excellent character given to Dorcas for the " alms deeds which she did," persuading his hearers to " go and do likewise," which was evinced by the collection at the door. He also gave a most im pressive admonition to the young men who were the objects of the Charity. At five o'clock a very select company sat down at St. John's House to a sumptuous entertainment, served up in Ashcombe's best style, venison and game being in great abundance. Sir Edward Hyde East, Bart., one of the Mem bers for the City, being one of the Stewards, was in the Chair ; his Deputy was Mr. Charles Wooldridge, jun.; Sir Edward and Mr. Wooldridge go out by rotation, and are succeeded by Sir William Heatlicote, Bart., and Mr. Bailey. The contribu tions and collections amounted to 1341. ss. The day concluded with the greatest harmony, many amateur and professional singers being present. Winchester boasts also of another So ciety, established in 1720, for the apprenticing of the Poor Children of Aliens. The Natives' Society was established in 1669, in commemoration of the staying of a most destructive pestilence. Such Societies few cities can boast of, and which have been the means (under Providence) of raising many per sons to opulence and consideration in this city, who in all human probability would have remained in poverty; the plague having thus been rendered a blessing to the city ; for although its scourge was dreadful for the time it continued, yet the good has been of long duration, and the cause of most solid benefits and happiness to many generations. . . SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. RACE BETWEEN ENGLISH AND COSSAC! HORSES. IN RUSSIA. The race between gnglish and Cossack horses which has been so long announced in various journals, took place at length on the 16th, between two Cossack horses from the Don, belonging to General Orlow Denissou, and two English stal lions, sent for from England for the purpose some months ago by the English society in this city. ' The ground to be run over was about 74 wersts on the road to Gutchina and back. On their return, one of the Cossack and one of the English horses were prevented when they reached Zarskojialo from proceeding. The other English horse won the race by a considerable ad vance before Ole remaining Cossack. The English are said to have considered this as a national point of honour, and to have devoted their whole attention to it for several months, and to have secretly ordered from England the best jockey and racers that could be procured ; whereas, General Orlow had sent only for ordinary horses from the Don, and treated the matter with great indifference. The prize was 25,000 rubles, paper currency. There was a great crowd of spectators to witness the race. It is said that the wounded national pride of our countrymen, the possessors of the celebrated racers of the Don intend, with increased energy and precaution to have another trial with their English competitors.

ABERDEEN, SEPT. 7.—At the conclusion of the Aberdeen Races last week, Mr. FARQUHARSON, of Fin. zean, M. P., and two or three gentlemen, went to the top of the Broad-hill, and having procured a few dozens of cheeses, threw them down the hill among the multitude : when the hair breadth 'scapes which many of them made in their eagerness to become possessed of one produced good sport. Owing to the steepness of the front of the hill, it was very difficult to keep a footing. One man near the top received a cheese right in his breast, was upset by the blow, and rolled down to the bottom, taking care, however, of his prize, which he kept hold of to the lasi, BENIN GOROD, A TALE OF THE HIGHLANDS. The name of 131extzt Gotton, in Mull, a moue. tain with basaltes pillars, (200 feet in height, dis covered by Mr. RASPS in the year 1789, and far superior to Staffa, the Giant's Causeway, or any other specimen of the kind hitherto known, arises from the recdrd of BO tragical a nature that it should be preserved. There are many tradi- tions respecting it, but the following we believe to be the most authentic:—A powerful Chieftaits who vas Lord of the Island of Mull many years ago, was no less distinguished for the extent of his territories, where lie lived in great feudal magnificence, than for a ferocity of temper which knew no bounds; and a spirit of avarice which he found no means of satisfying but by grievously oppressing his tenants and vassals, and seiAng their property and estates. was above all par ticularly anxious to acquire the possessions of a neighbour whose name was Gorod, on ac count of their extent and contiguity. But he had long abstained from any attempt of this kind, both as Gorod, though above fifty years of age, had remained unmarried, and, failing of him and his heirs, the estate reverted to the chieftain ; and because his only son, who was reared-accord ing to the custom of those times in the family of a vassal, was in his custody. Gorod, however, contrary to the expectation of every one, married a young lady of great beauty and accomplish ments, whom he had accidentally met with in one of the neighbouring islands ; and the chieftain had reason to apprehend that the expectations with which he had flattered himself of getting pia vassal's estate by a failure of his posterity, would be frustrated. Impelled by lust and dis appointment, he resolved to destroy the. hopes and happiness of Gorod by the seduction of his wife, which he with difficulty affect ed, and at last carried her in triumph to his castle. Gorod concealed his rage, whilst he inwardly vowed vengeance ; and having con trived in the course of a great hunting party at which the chieftain and his son, Gorod, and the lady, and all the principal people of the island assisted, to bring the whole company to the sum mit of a lofty mount; he seized the youth, and standing by the brink of a frightful precipice he exclaimed---" This instant I plunge myself and this boy down the cliff, unless that infamous woman is put to death by the hands f her sedu cer." The chieftain trembling for'Ae safety of the only support of his family, and encouraged by the persuasions of his unhappy mistress, who pre sented her breast to receive the blow, reluctantly obeyed. Gorod then cried out, 46 I am revenged, but that tyrant must be punished ;" then spring ing from the mountain with the unhappy youth in his arms, they were almost instantly dashed in, pieces. The place has ever since been known by the name of Benin Gorod, or the Hill of Gorod.—(Edinburgh Observer, Sept. 13.) MERCANTILE SHIPPING. DEAL, SEPT.

A Frenchman cannot travel in France without a passport. His locomotive faculty leaves him at the outskirts of his town or district, unless he obtains permission to go further. A gendarme may cut short the walk or ride of a Parisian be tween Paris and St. Denis. Even peers and depu ties are subjected to the necessity of travelling by permission, as well as the common' citizens. The only difference is, that the former obtain their passports from the President or Questors of the Chambers, while the multitude must apply to the police. It is said the missionaries are exempted.
