LAUNCH OF THE KENT.

This fine vessel, after being on the slip upwards of three
years, was launched on Friday, amid the cheers of thousands
of spectators; but the interest once attendant en a ship
launch was in this instance rather less than usual, owing to
the circumstance of a roof being placed over the ship, an
improvement which run been judiciously adopted with re-
spect to all our ships in duck, bat which greatly militates
against the impressiveness of the spectacle. The Aent is
the only line-uf-battle ship which has been hitherto launched
beneath a cover. The first of these was erected in 1815 by
Mr. Peeing, under the directions of Lord Melville, beneath
which the Britannia, of 120 guns, now reposes, and which
Ird the way to the present increased durability of our
nary.
The head of the Kens had a beautiful appearance as it
ruse to the view of the spectators on the vessel quitting the
slip—it represents a Man of Kent in appropriate costume,
bottling the old English bow in his hand—it is a chef.
d'oeuvre of carving, and is executed with the well.kssowo &hi-
lily of Mr. Dickerson. The galleries of the stern are sup-
ported by two figures in the usual position of Atlas, and
above these ■re Britannia and Neptune, the whole meat
tastefully designed and finished. The carving tI ghoul
evinces no small share of skill and induatry, and we are
happy to give this mite of praise to au artist to whose chisel
so many of our Boating bulwarks owe their most beautiful
ornaments.

The whole of the workmanship of the stern reflects great
credit on the artisans who were employed un it, and better
judges than ourselves have already declared it to be au ex-
cellent performance; still It is "round," and wish all the
skill of the workmen, It has not the magnificence of the
noble oil sterns.

No accident occurred, with the exception of the loss of the
head of one of the hue figures which support the galleries.
The geld ran au close to the Virginia littik,that Ihe stern came
iu contact with the latter vivre!, and it was forlnnate that no
other damage followed than that which the Master Carver
can so easily and skilfully repair.
We hear that the round stern of the Melange's frigate,
lately arrived from Milford, is to be mitt red ; is certainly
has at present a most uncouth appearance.—(Pipsonth

The Mayor, Aldermen, and a party of Gentlemen
or Carlisle, in the interest of the House ol Lowther,
dined on Friday with the Eatl of LONSDALE. at
Low:her Cantle. It is thought by some that a Pe-
tition to the House of Lo►d• against the Divorce
clause in the Bill of Pains and Penalties, would be
suggested at that noble and delectable treat.
A letter from Carlorithe, dated September 14,
says—" It is announced that Mr. BROUGHASI, the
brother of the Queen of ENGLAND'S Attorney-
General, is on his way to Indy, fur the purpose of
finding witnesses who can give evidence in favour
of her MAJEsTY. It appears, however, that his
uneaten ►a nut limited to Italy : he has travelled
through different parts of Germany. On his arrival
here he came from Frankfort. and Ca►srl, in Heave.
Ile has endeavoured to u►:tke some recruits. lie
wished to engage, among others. M. D'ENTE,
Master of the Ceremonies to her Royal Highness,
to go •as a witness to England, but lie refused.
What he knew, of hun•elf, he said was insigoifi-
cant. With regard to what be haul done, there was
tutu little certainty in it Its render it the subject of
a deposition, more especially as he did nut recollect
the titmice* of the reports."

H•MILTOB, SEPTEMBER 13.—The finit crop
has been inure plentiful this season, iu this quarter►
than it has bee° fur many years before. The con-
sequence has been a stagnation in the market and a
great reduction of prices. Ia many gardens in this
neighbourhood the pears are rotting on the trees,
and those %slit, have nut sold them to the fruit-mer-
chain, ate glad to get them dispo►ed of at any
price. The extensive piece of hough ground in
the Hamilton policies, which was last year dug by
the weavers in tl►e time of their distress, is now
yieldnig crops of corn superior to any thing that
has been seen ►n t►tis part of the country.

lu the storm on Wednesday last, two vessels
were driven ashore ut Brighton, and one of them
was completely wieekvd. She was driven ashore
opposite to diddle-street, her sides broken in, and
full of water. The muster end crew were saved,
butt M an inettitit a set of ruffians set to work to
plunder the wreck, and they bud carried off every
thing that was 'roulade, laud were busily employed
iu carrying off the orals, which was her cargo,
when Mr. Justice BATES suited, sod seut for •
detachment of troops to disperse the mob, which
he hippily effected, but 'tut one of the ruffians
was taken.
