The Officers of the 85th infantry at Plymouth,
on Wednesday last repeated their diversion of
horse-racing, which was much increased by leugth-
eniug the distances. But, perhaps, the most amus-
ing scene of the day consisted in a match, rode by
two Captains of the Royal Navy, in complete
jockey habiliments, on common hacks, who, though
they set all sail, were closely followed in their
cruise by a butcher's boy on a pony, with a halter
only, and both distanced in each heat, at the win-
ning post, with the greatest apparent ease, to the
infinite diversion of a numerous company.

Seri rag vessels from the Mediterranean, with car-
goes of beans, have been seized at the Custom-house,

being the produce•of Turkey, and therefore not al-
lowed to hr imported. A deputation of gentlemen
interested in them, have waited on the Lords of the
Treasury, and presented a 'cog petition, iu which
they represented, that the violation of the Navi4a-
non Laws arose from ignorance of the subject,
and prayed the releivie of the vessels in murstom.
'l•he Lords of the Treasury have not, however, )et
come to any decision ; but it was intimated that a
favourable determination may be expected shortly.
The equinozial ;piles have expedited the annual

The inhabitants of Lane End and Longton, in

Crown and Anchor Inn, in Lane End, on Monday
sennight, Sir Joitts E. HEATHCOTE in the Chair,

suing, in order to render prompt assistance to such
