He is a perfect Proteus in politics. There is no catching him, no speculating on his movements. If this in stant you think you have him as an Ultra, the next he slips through your fingers, and skips off in the shape of a patriot. Once, we remember him prosin g in the tone of an old woman—and truly the character sat most gracefully and natu rally upon him ; but, alas ! before the night's debate was at an end, he had assumed a new shape, thrown off the mob-cap and stomacher and started up as a staunch defender of pensions and sinecures. " DAW SON'S Nletamorphoses " would, we con ceive, make a volume far superior in entertain ment to OV ID ' S ; f or, if there b e l ess o f ima gination, there is a thousand times more of human interest attached to it. The Right Hon. Gentleman is just now all for the people. Possibly, when the Irish elections are over, he may be all for the Tories. At present, he distances HUNT, and out-Cobbetts COBBETT in his zeal for the good of the country. Last night he was thrown into a paroxysm of virtuous indignation at the idea of an Irish sinecure being allowed to be conti nued by an anti-sinecure Government. That he did not go off in a fit while under the influence of such patriotic exacerbation, is to us, consi dering the state of the atmosphere, perfectly un accountable. On every sound medical principle he had a right to do so, and we take it very unkind in him that he has perplexed the faculty by his escape. Truly the Reform Bill has worked won ders. It has not only lengthened the ears of Sir CHARLES WETHERELL, and the face of Sir ROBERT PEEL, but it has actually—tell it not in Gatti, proclaim it not in As calon !—converted Derry DAwsorr the place man into Derry DAWSON the patriot. Yes, Derry is now a patriot of the first water. His heart sickens at the abomination of sine cures, he is at length wide awake to the deplor able condition of the people—the poor, dear people—and he even loses sight of the Treasury Bench in the spectacle of their sufferings. How touching was his allusion last night to the " good of his country," how pathetic his accents, how full of expression his fine Demosthenic attitude ! O'CoNNELL had better look to himself, or Derry DAWSON will assuredly strip the patriotic laurels from his brow. It is astonishing what an effect a slight trip from the Treasury to the Opposition Bench, has upon the constitution of those who undertake it. It is far better for their health than a trip to Margate. DAwsoN, while in office, was prim, feeble, tame, and, to all appear ance, miserably ennuied ; DAWSON, while in opposition, is lively, brisk, energetic, and as full of bone and muscle as a Hercules. His very face is altered, and we think for the better. Seeing both his outer and his inner Adam thus materially improved, what a heart must we have, to wish him even a mo mentary return to the Treasury Bench ! No, no. Long may he and his flourish on that bench --as Lord BROUGHAM said of Sir T. LETHBRIDGE, when to his inexpressible consternation that delightful Baronet found him self on the wrong side of the House--long may he flourish on that Bench " which he is so well calculated to adorn !" It would be the ruin of all the Right Honourable Gentleman's intellectuals were he to cross over the way again but for one short week. The Treasury atmosphere is decidedly of a dull, deadening quality, and could scarcely fail to blunt that fine conception of the patriotic, which Mr. DAwsoN is now nightly developing with such effect. some surprise has been expressed that the people in the north of Portugal have not been more eager to join Don PEDRO'S standard. This argues but little knowledge of human nature. The severities, or rather cruelties of the mant are still fresh in the minds of the people in that quarter, and till they see some strong probability of success, they will not rashly run the risk of a second military commis sion. When the Prince of ORANGE landed at Torbay, and though all England was in his favour, the whole county of De von was so terrified with the executions which had ensued on MONMOUTH'S rebellion, that no one, for several days, joined him. In the absence of correct intelligence relative to the feeling of parties on the F!:.ength of MIGUEL'S forces, the simple fact that the second city in the kingdom, strongly fortified by art and nature, had been taken almost without a gun being fired, argues at least great pusillanimity on the part of the usurper. Oporto, with a tolerable garrison, might have held out for weeks against any force Don PEDRO had to bring against it. A report has been some days in circulation, which we do not believe, but which has acquired a degree of consistency that we should be want ing in our duty as honest chroniclers, if we omitted to lay before the public. The report is, that ten thousand additional troops are to be sent to Ireland to enforce the collection of tithes, —that Colonel D'AGUILAR, who formerly held a high situation on the Irish staff, has been con sulted, and is to have a command. If there were any truth in the statement, we should rejoice that Colonel D'AGUILAR had been consulted, because it would be impossible for an officer of his ability and experience to express any but one opinion on such a proceeding, which, indeed report does him the justice to say he has ex pressed. Support an alien absentee clergy, and a sinecure Church, at the point of the bayonet, against the will of nine-tenths of the population of Ireland ! ! ! The Tories, however, are chuckling mightily, and boast that they have constrained the Go vernment to adopt this course. If it succeeds, they say it will be highly conservative (to make Ireland another Poland would in their phraseo logy be highly conservative),—if it fails, the Government, they say, must make way for them, when they hope once more to turn things to ac count, and make the people a vache au lait for Tory conservatives for another half century at least. Poor creatures, they forget the Reform Bill has passed, and that even if it had not, the spirit of the age would render such expectations not only hopeless, but ridiculous. German Papers confirm the news of the cap ture of Acre by the troops of the Pacha of EGYPT, and mention the birth of the infant son of the Arch-Duke FRANCIS CHARLES Of AUSTRIA. The Freysinnige says, " The Ger man patriot must not now excite his country men to hatred of the French. German freedom stands 'or falls with that of France" : A French Courier from Paris has arrived, and, it is said, has brought communications respecting the affairs of Belgium. Great anxiety is fi It about the formation of the French Ministry. The delay has a prejudicial effect on all European affairs. It would be very fortunate for the policy hitherto followed by France, if a man of Du pin's energetic character were made President of the Council ; and this choice woul , l be a kind of guarantee for the duration of the existing relations. The accounts from Italy are still unsatisfactory : the revolutionary party does not cease to embarrass the Go vertmunts. CA RLSRUHE.

This article con cludes with the words—" German Freedom stands or falls with that of France."

HULL, JULY IS.—Extract of a letter received here from Bremen, dated the 11th inst., states the Arrival of the Concordia, Hochteng, from Greenland, with 1,150 seals; spoke on the 9th ult. the Cambrian, Eigle, and Commerce. of Peterhead. Only five fish had teen killed during the season, of which the Cambrian and Eagle had sine small fish each.

Had bee❑ as high as 78 degrees without seeing a fish ; had no t spoken either the Ellison or heirs. DISCOVERY OF THE BODY OF MR. WILKINSON. This morninz, at a quarter before three o'clock, the policeman on duty near the Spread Eagle, at Millhank, opposite nearly to where the murder took place, discovered the body of the unfortunate gentleman lying on the shore, where it had been washed by the tide. He gave an im mediate alarm, and assistance being procured, it was con. veyed into the public house above-named, where it was examined by a surgeon. The forehead was contused and discoloured, as were also both eyes. The bridge of the nose was broken and much lacerated. CHOLERA MORBUS. The cholera morbus has extended itself to Gloucester. A mother and child were first attacked, and the latter soon stink under the disease. The woman Vint nursed them was next attacked, and shortly afterwards expired. Thurs day evening, Elizabeth White, an industrious woman, aged 35. was seized with the disorder, and died next morning.—Ruth Journal. The cholera mot bus has made its appearance at Bristol. The Board of Health has declared four cases of malignant cholera to have occurred, of which three in a few hours terminated fatally, viz., a woman, and two children. The Board of Health having transmitted an account of the case to London, clean bills of health have been refused at the Bristol Custom. house.—Bath Journal. We are very sorry to announce that three cases of cholera have occurred during the week in this town, all of which have proved fatal. The first two were famine'', and the third was the wife of one of the sufferers. The woman appears to have been ill-fed, having tiken, for some time back, little except tea. In the stomach of one of the men was found a great quantity of undigested c herries.--Birmihyham Journal. REFORM BILL GRIFFITHS'S ELECTORAL GUIDE. T. GRIFFITHS. WELLINGTON-STREET, STRAND. A very useful little work, bearing the above title, having been laid upon our table, gives us the opportunity of saying what we hope will be " a word in season" with respect to the exercise of the duties which are about to fall upon electors. Speaking generally, we may say that the whole of these duties are to be gathered from the Re form and Boundary Acts. All whose education lias prepared diem for the task of developing the intricacies of legal language had better at once purchase the above-named Acts. They will observe that the only authentic copies are published by the King's printers, and are stated to be so on the title page. Indeed, no other parties can publish the Act in a perfect form without infringing on the King's printers' patent. Notwithstanding the monopoly thus possessed by the King's printers, a cheap edition of these Acts has been published by them, which may be had for five shillings. Those who do not consider themselves competent to see their way through the technical mazes of an Act of Par liament, or who may not wish to have the trouble of doing so, have a choice of several publications which profess to explain the Act. Some of these we may notice on a future occa sion, but our present purpose is to put this last description of voters upon the alert, so that they may not by any slip or negligence lose the be nefit of the Act recently passed in their favour. The steps they have to take, in order to secure to themselves the enjoyment of their new rights, arc few and simple, anti may all be taken with out the assistance of a lawyer, or being attended with any expense whatever, except the payment of a shilling on the placing of a name upon the electoral lists. Surely no freeman, for so paltry a sum, or for the sake of sparing himself a hide trouble, will fail to qualify himself for the exercise of the high privileges which the friends # of free dom have so long sought to put within his reach The battle is over, but the people have yet to secure the fruits of victory. Let every elector bear in mind, therefore, that after the overseers have, on the 25th of this month, stuck up their notices, calling upon county voters to send in their claims to be put upon the register, they must do so before the 20th August. This brings us to the little work which has given rise to these suggestions. It contains, as is stated in the title-page, " A full statement of the several steps to be taken by County and Borough Electors, from the placing of their names on the electoral lists to the time of delivering their votes ; also so much of the Boundaries Bill as shows the division of counties, with their nomina tion and polling towns," and is intended for the second class of voters to whom we have referred. The arrangement is so clear that it is impos sible for the most unlettered person not to corn. prebend the directions given him. First of all, there is a list of parties qualified as county voters, which is followed by sections on the disqualifications of county voters ; observations; of the registration of county voters ; and of pro ceedings of county voters at elections. Every thing respecting borough voters is divided in the same manner, and every direction given contains a reference in a note to the section of the Act authorising it, so that a party may be assured that all his proceedings rest upon a good found ation. What, however, makes this little book particularly valuable at the present moment is, that it gives in the notes the alterations which have been made by the Order in Council, issued last week, of the dates on which different acts are to be performed by electors and others. The following lists of persons qualified to vote as county and borough electors, with their disquali fications, is quoted for the benefit of those who wish to exercise the elective franchise at the ensuing election. OF COUNTY VOTERS. The following is a list of the persons qualified to vote for county members. The notes attached to each class refer to the sec,ion of the Aet giving the right. Ist.

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) STEPHENS V. RENNIE AND ORR. Sir EnwA AD UG DEN applied on behaff of the plaintiff for an injunction, ex-parte, to issue against the defendants, to prevent them from printing and publishing a book called A Conspectus of the Butterflies and Moths to he found in Great Britain, on the ground that it was a piracy of a work published by the plaintiff. The bill was supported by the affidavit of the plaintiff . The Loan CflawcaLcon granted the injunction, though with some reluctance, and observing that it was highly probable it would not rest here. He granted it on the understanding that in Sir Edward's judgment, and upon his statement that the defendant's book could nut be con sidered either as an abridgement or a translation of the plaintiff's. The COURT proceeded to hear a part-heard motion to dissolve an injunction—" Roberts v. Knowlee." VICE-CHANCERY COP RT.-(THIS DAY.) RANSOM V. SANDERS. In this ease the pl.intiffs, who are plough-share manu facturers, residing at Ipswich, some days ago obtained an injunction against the defendants, who are also in the same line of business, restraining them fiorn selling plough-shares, marked similar to the plaintiffs, who, it appeared, were in the habit of putting the name of " Ransom," and " Ransom and Son," on their articles together, with sometimes n. 1., and at others n. 1. In April last the plaintiffs discovered that the defendants were selling their plough-shares similarly marked, at a cheaper rate, by which the plaintiffs were materially injured, and were, therefore, compelled to seek the interposition of the Court. Mr. PEPYS, to•day, on behalf of tile defendants, moved to dissolve the injunction, on the ground that the marks used by the plaintiffs were not to he considered as private enirks, but merely for the purpose of distinguishing the quality of the article. Mr. KNIGHT supported the injunction. The VICE-CHANCELLOR thought the defendants en titled to use the private ►narks made use of by the pl4in tiffs, provided they did not use their names, and declared accordingly. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS -(THIS DAY.) James White, against whom articles of the peace had been exhibited for a series of annonyances towards, and threatening to shoot Mr. George Young, a licensed vtc wailer, was brought up to day, having been in custody for some time in default of finding The CHAIRMAN (F. Const, Esq.) asked him if he could procure bail ? The defendant declared that he was so poor that he had not a friend in the world to be surety for him. Mr. PRENDERGAST urged on the Court the necessity of protecting the complainant against the violent con duct of this man. He had repeatedly threatened to blow Mr. Young's brains out, and such was the fear en tertained by Mr. Young, that he was actually in treaty to dispose of his business, and leave the neighbourhood. He therefore hoped the Court would insist on the defendant finding b Tee CHAIRMAN said to insist on that, would be the perpetual imprisonment of the defendant ; his offence was a very bad one certainly. Mr. ALLEY, for the defendant, said his client had used those threats in a moment of intoxication, and was very sorry for it. The defendant expressed great contrition, and said he would never go near the complainant again. After a suitable admonition he was ordered to enter into his own recognizances iu 401. to keep the peace towards all his Majesty's subjects. THE FUNDS -(THIS DAY.) CITY, T WEL VE 0' CLOCK. The only arrival this morning is a Malta snail, which sailed on the Ist inst., from Gibraltar on the 10th, and from Cadiz on the 10th. We have accounts from Lisbon of the 12th inst. It appears all was quiet there at that time; indeed, we can not expect any movement in Lisbon favourable to Don Pedro, until the constitutional army is within a short dis tance, as the whole of Dan Miguel's strength is concen trated there, and his sitellites, the priests, will furnish the te o 4.-s p with sufficient bribes to keep the people of Lisbon in subjection. We hear that the private accounts from Oporto, although not later than the above ( 12th inst.) are of a favourable description. Part of Don Pedro's army had made a movement in advance towards Coimbra, from which place the road is good all the way to Lisb , n. There it is imagined that some blows will be struck by the Miguelites, as their cavalry can act with greater ad. vantage ; therefore it may be some d tys yet before we hear of any important results from that quarter. The Estafette from Paris is void of political informa tion ; it brings the French Rentes 67f. 25c. By the French mail thi; morning the accounts from Bru-eels continue of a warlike complexion. It is stated that orders have been 'riven to fat - ward to Antwerp a part of the disposable artillery in the strong places. Several field pieces are also to proceed to Be ass, la ; and all the cavalry at Tournay and Mans are to be in readiness on the first signal to march to Brussels. Accounts from Berlin state, that preparations are making there to maintain the decree of the Diet. Orders have been given at Berlin for several divisions of troops, each of which is to consist of twelve thousand men, to be ready to march if any resistance is made by the Germans ; the whole of his force is reckoned at 72.000 men, and which is to be joined by the troops of the other States of Germany. The accounts from V►enna are also of a warlike appear ance. The Austrian army has made a grand movement, particularly that of Bohemia. Wi►hin a sort period several of the Hebrews in London have died of the cholera morbus, in consequence of which a meeting took pace yesterday of the persuasion, at the London Tavern, to take into consideration, adopt measures, and render assistance to their poorer classes ; a subscrip tion was set on foot, B iron de M. N. Rothschild sub scr.bed 1001. Several other gentlemen also gave liberal donations.

The followine case came on the first thing this morning by special appointment. Tt excited the most intense in. terest. The accused wilt a respect-dile attorney at Reading. lie was agent to Mr. Haller at the List election, and is nuw agent for Walter, the present candidate for the county of Berk.. Mr. C. PHILLIPS, with whom was Mr. CARRINGTON, stated the case for the prosecution. The complainant in this case was Harriet Carvill, and although her hus band was only a florist and gardner, she was herself a woman of good education and acquirements, and CVI9 altigether above her station. The prisoner was Mr. Weadon, a solicitor of Reading, and up to the tme of the event occurring, had always borne the character of an honourable man. The case almost entirely depended upon the evidence of the lady herself, ~nd he (Mr. Phillips) would therefore call her before the .Jury, and from her manner and statement they would be able to judge whether or not the offence had been com mitted, or whether she was coming forward to perjure herself, by making statements necessarily so much to he r shame. Mrs. Harriet Carvill—ln the summer of last year Mr. Weedon was employed by my husband as his attorney. Mr. Weedon came to my house frequently, when my hus band was away at his work, as I principally managed the business in which he was engaged. My husband bad been unfortunate, and Mr. Weedon had all his affairs in his hands. I recollect Mr. Weedon coming to my house with a letter at the latter end of May, before the 25th. I was in very ill health; he put the letter on the table, and explained to me the contents; he then began to take liber ties with me—(the witness here described the first attempt stated to have been made by Mr. Weedon)—his language was very indecent. The second occurrence was a few days after, also before the 25th of May; the third was between the 2d and Bth of June—(the witness here described what took place on both these occasions, and appeared much af fected during the relation.) Cross-examined—Mr. Weedon is a married man, and has a large family of young children. I told my husband of the attempts he made about a fortnight after the last occurrence. I could not tell him with propriety before, as Mr. Weedon had all our business in his hands, and I was afraid my husband would be angry with him. Mr. Harmer of London is the attorney for the prosecution. I told the maid servant of all the attempts after the last had be' n made, but not before. Mr. Baitoti GnootY then himself re-examined the witness as to the al , eged assault ; she described the par ticulars of t'ie three attempts, and the times of day at which they were made, but could not identify with any exactness the days on which they occurred. The witness stated that shortly after the third assault, she commu nicated the fact to her servant Elizabeth Edy, and the im mediately said, " Oh, I saw you and Mr. Weedon on the carpet—l looked in at the front window." Mrs. Carvill's husband was in the witness-box during the whole of his wife's evid , nce, supplying her with water, and supporting her when she appeared overcome. Mr. TELYOURD addressed the Jury for the defendant. He much regretted that lately there had been so many prosecutions for similar offences against professional men, some of whom had afterwards been elevated to the Bench and to the Peerage. Thirty witnesses, amongst whom were Dr. Mitford (father of the celebrated authoress, and Chairman to the Magistrates), the Rev. H. H. Millman, late Professor of Poetry at the University of Oxford, J. B. Monck, late M.P. for Reading, and John Walter, Eq., at pre sent a candidate for the representation of the county, and many Bankers and Barristers in the town of Reading, all spoke to the high character of Mr. Weedon as an honour able man. The Learned JUDGE, in summing uR, retnarkod that the evidence of the husband and servant maid, which was the most material part of the case, had been omitted on the part of the prosecution. The Jury then found the prisoner Not Guilty, which verdict was received with every demonstration of satis— faction by all present. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY has left Lambeth Palace to attend the interment of his sister in the family vault at Ropley, a small village near Winchester, where his Grace commenced his cleric,,] career as curate. The Duke de REICHSTADT is not yet dead Ni, case, however, seems hopeless. It is said that a French artist was recently admitted to the presence of the young Prince, and ow requesting that his Highness would honour his album with a souvenir, he wrote down the following:—" Vous retournez I Paris; dites ai la Co. lonne (the Column of the Place Vendome!) que je mein. en regrettant de ne pouvoir l'embrasser !"—(You are go ing back to Paris; tell the Column I die regretting that I am not able to embrace it !) The continued infirm state of the health of Lord GRENVILLE affords no prospect of his Lordship again taking any part in public affairs. It was in come quence of his Lordship's inability to attend the King', Lev-e on Wednesday last, that the Vice Chancellor of the University of Oxford attended as his representative to pre sent the address agreed upon on the 25th of June last, at the Convocation-house, congratulating his MAJESTY ov his escape tram the late attack on his sacred person St Ascot. Lord GRENVILLE, who is advancing towards hi 80th year, resides in comparative retirement at his plea sant seat at Dropmore, where he enjoys the occasi ,, na' society of his nephew the Duke of BUCKINGHAM, th Right Hon. THOMAS GRINVILLE, and a select circle o friends. GRAND NATIONAL FESTlVAL.—Yester day a public festival of the working and middling classes, as a solemnization of the triumph of Reform, was held in the spacious gardens annexed to Sadler's Wells Theatre Mr. flumz, M.P., presided. His colleague, Mr. BYNG, M.P., Alderman WOOD, M.P., Serjeant SPANKIE, Mr TEMPLE, Mr. Moortz, Mr. DIXON, and a great many other gentlemen, also attended. The entire of the large garden, which was very liberally lent for the occasion gra tuitously by the lessees of Sadler's Wells Theatre, wa canopied over, the canopy being embl,zoned with a Brea diversity of curious devices appropriate to the purpose of the festival. There were, as we understood from thos who were capable of estimating the numbers, 3,500 per sons present. The majority were those who paid for ad mission. The assembly presented a splendid and delight ful sight, and every one seemed to contiibute to the ge neral hilarity. Roast beef, plum-pudding, &c.,were deaf out with the most profuse liberality to the guests. After this, the best ale was administered in quick succession. and in unsparing quantity ; and for six hours we could say that we did not hear any murmur of discontent, or one shout of turbulence. After a great many excellent speeches, dilat.ng on the benefits likely to result from Re form, and the proper mode of exercising the franchise, the meeting quietly adjourned. The order by which the widows of officers of the Navy could only hold pensions by their husbands having served ten years in active service has been rescinded, and ten full years on the list of commission or warrant office'. will now entitle them to their pensions....—Porrsmourh Herald. CASE OF SOMERVILLE.-We understand that his Manny's Government have resolved thoroughl ) to investigate the charge against Major WYNDHAM. of the Scots Greys, arising (iota the case of private SomERVILLE The investigation is axed to take place at Weedim t.ai. racks, Northamptonshire, and it is understood was have commenced either to-diy or to morrow. Tie Right Hon. R. GRANT left town on Tuesday to conduct the investigatton. in his official capacity of Judge-Advo. care-General. SOMERVILLE, of course, will be the prin• cipal witness, as the main part of the charge must neces sarily turn on the conversation which took place between him and Mtjor WYNOHAM OD the subject of the let ter which he wrote to the Editor of the Dispatch. The inquiry on the part of SOMERVILLE will be con ducted by Mr. HARMER, whose assistant, Mr. WOOLER, left town early in the week to arrange the evidence. It is expected that the Court will bring its sittings to a ter• minstion in the course of the present week, when the de cision will be formally submitted to his MAJEsTy for his sanction and approval : until which, as a matter of course, it cannot be communicated to the public. Miss WILLIAMS, the young lady who made so successful a debut last week at the Haymarket Theatre, as Susanna, in The Marriage of Figaro, we perceive is to make her appearance on Friday, in the character of Rosina, in The Barber of Seville—two as difficult parts to sustain as any in the present Range of English operas. We thought Miss Wrwaxts not entirely new t the stage, from her self-possession, and th.. easy manner o her acting throughout. Her piquant and playful represen tation of the gay and sprightly Susanna infused a very great interest to the Opera, and elicited deserved applause We understand that she has played in Dublin about three years ago, where she experienced a very flittering recep tion, and much encouragement; since wh ch she has beet. in Italy, studying in that school which appears to us so well suited to her p , were of voice and capab.lities of execu tion. We think, however, it requires to be more fully developed to be duly appreciated, and when we see her in other characters, we shall he better enabled to judge of the versatility of talent we understand she possesses.

The admirers of sailing yesterday experienced a high treat in the contest for a Silver Cup and Cover given by the Clarence Yacht Club. The Club boasts the patronage ,1 many persons of distinction, ant the m itch created a very lively interest. At about a quarter to five the signal '.vas given for being in readiness, and a prettier display of craft of all descripti.an we never witnessed. The t .11ow mg boats had been entered to contend tor the priz- : Yachts. Tons. Whereof. Flags. Brilliant Cascabel Lady Emma S. .Rotherhithe ...Black, red cross. Water Witch Secret Cascobel WAS Lot placed, and the other Stir only con. 'ended for the prize. At a few secon tw before five the aistol was fired. The sails were hoisted wail amazing ijuickness, and the b'sats turned round togetl.er. The -tart was not the best in the worid, but the boats cleared , itY in beautiful style. The Emma !poi the lead, but the iVaterlVitch was first clear ; the wind wits W.N.W. blowing strong. On their arrival at Vauxhall-bridg e the Witch was first through the Midide.ex arch, the B anta b e ing close up to leeward, and t: .e Brilliant The latter, however, passed her opponent in Cl-iea Reach, and th e Lady Emma lost way very con-id •thiv ; she, ti 4v. ever, got second wind, and vvot close up at Wandsworth. The Water Witch first rounded the fl .g final, about a minute and a half a-head of the Brilliant, the Lady being close astern of the latter. The Wait( had only made two tr three hoards and shifted their jib, when the Lady :mimed the Brilliant, and gained Cut on the leattin4 b ist. Übe Water Witch, however, maintained her superiority, ind came in first on a very in lifferent tack, about half a ninute a-head of the Lady Emma ; Brilliant was .bout a minute and a half longer; the Secret was waited hir some time, and never hail a shalow of chance. The match was very atdy tnauagi d throughout, and the party having retired to Oltver's C-ffee-honse (their Club. ~ ouse), the Cup was presente l to the owner of the IVittr Witch, and the remainder of the e vening W 45 speut is hilarity. by the The Governorship of S t irh i tig ki, C . a: n t , i l e , , ,f kat!' of Ea H U Earl DONOUG O RC, the G morally ot , Imuleiry, by the desth ot General l uis Castle, by the death of Cul.
