PATRON HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF CLARENCE.

Yesterday being the day appointed for the Annual Sail-
ing Match, below bridge, for a superb Silver Cup and
Cover, given by the Noblemen and Gentlemen belonging
to the Thames Yacht Club, shortly after nine o'clock the
following boats took their stations off Greenwich Hospital,
to sail from thence round the boat at Gravesend, and back
again to Greenwich, viz.:—
Names. Belonging to. Tons. Colours.
Will-o'-the-Wisp London l6 Blue and Yellow
Daphne ............ Lambeth 6 Blue
Emulation London l3 Yellow
Vixen ............... London l9 Red
Lady Emma London 8 White and Blue Border.
Success
Matchless
Rob Roy Millbank 16 Black and Scarlet Chequers
Brilliant Rotherhithe ... S Black with a White Cross.
After a good contest the Rob Roy eventually came in
first, followed by the Will-o'-the-Wisp, Vixen, Matchless,
and Success. The other boats could hardly be said to
have been in the return match, as the wind blew se
strongly that the small boats could not weather it, and
were driven on shore. The cup was delivered to the win-
ner, and the evening spent by those who remained below
with unalloyed happiness. The Matchless, Daphne, and
Lady Emma, came up early to their stations in town.

Prince LEovoLo arrived in town yesterday, from his
residence at Claremont. His Royal Highness paid a visit to
Prince FREDERICK of Prussia, at the residence of the
Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND, 111 the King's Palace,
St. James's.
The Duke and Duchess Of CUMBERLAND and Prince
FREDERICK of Prussia came to town yesterday from Kew.
The Duchess visited Princess ESTERHAZY, at Chandos.
House; the Princess is indisposed. Prince FREDERICK
honoured Sir GEORGE ROSE tvl h his company to dinner,
in the evening, at his residence in Old Palace-yard.
The Earl Of ABERDEEN, Sir R. PEEL, Sir G. MURRAY,
the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and the JUDGE
ADVOCATE, bad interviews with the Duke of WELLIHGEopt
yesterday, at the Treasury.
Sir MATTHEW TIERNEY left the Palace about nine
o'clock yesterday morning, for London, and returned about
seven o'clock in the evening. Sir HENRY HALFORD re-
mained in attendance on the KING.
His MAJESTY enjoyed some sound sleep on Monday
night, and passed the best night he has bad since the
commencement of his indisposition. The KING appeared
refreshed yesterday morning, and conversed cheerfully with
those around him.

(From the Morning Herald.)
WINDSOR, TUESDAY EVENINO. •
His MAJESTY is again completely puzzling his physicians.
The slight symptoms of relapse, mentioned in my note of
yesterday evening, subsided entirely before nine o'clock.
His MAJESTY passed a better night than he has done
since the commencement of his present illness; and to-
day he is so much better in every respect that his physicians
are quite astonished. Even Sir MATTHEW TIERNEY, who,
from his masy years' attendance on the KING, is reasonably
enough supposed to have an intimate knowledge of his
MAJESTY'S constitution, confesses himself completely
puzzled by the very decided change for the better which
has taken place within these few last days.
Sir MATTHEW, and Mr. 13am:1=p and the Bishop of
CHICHESTER, have all left the Castle to-day; but they are
expected back to dinner this evening.
The Princesses have not paid their usual periodical
visit to the KING to-day, his physicians being of opinion
that company would have a tendency to retard that im-
provement in his MAsEsrY's health which is now so mani-
festly progressing.
The Marquis of WELLESLEY made his personal in-
quiries at the Castle after the health of his MAJEsTY last
evening.

LIFE AND REIGN OF GEORGE IV.--We
are requested to state that the Supplement of the Sunday
Times, of June 13, containing the very interesting Me-
moir of the LIFE and REIGN of his Passztn, MAJESTY,
has been again reprinted, and will continue on sale till
further notice. The price is 7d. only; and, being
stamped, it may be sent free, of postage to friends in all
parts of the country. Orders supplied by every News-
vender in the Kingdom.—Office of Publication, 72.
Fleet-street.

We learn by a letter received this morning
from an eminent Paris banker, that the late decline in the
French funds is far from having that foundation in any
general alarm of the monied interest of that country, to.
which it is attributed here. On the contrary, it is affirmed
that the sales made have been chiefly speculative ones, and
that the real holders have not yet, to any great extent, dis-
posed of their Rentes. This fact is useful in determining
the teal state of feeling among men of property in France,
and it shows that there is no alarm among them respecting
public credit, though the speculators may of course, in
the end, turn out to have had the better judgment. On
the other hand, should they prove to have been mistaken
in the result, it will be extremely difficult for them to re•
gain their former position, and procure stock to deliver....

NEW PUBLICATIONS.—The following works
are published this day by Messrs. COLBURN and BENTLEY,
New Burlington-street :—The Undying One, and other
Poems, by the Hon. Mrs. NORTON—The English at
Home, by the Author of " The English in Italy," Three
Vols.—The Third and Fourth Volume of Mr. DISRAELI'S
Commentaries on the Life and Reign of Charles I.—The
Official Kalendar for 1830, by JOHN BURKE, Esq., Author
of the " Peerage and Baronetage"—Mrs. SHELLEY'S new
Novel, the Fortunes of Perkin Warbeck—Tales of a Tar,
by the Author of " The Naval Sketch Book," One Vol.
ALEXANDRIA, APRIL 27.—The Hugh
Lindsay steamer is at last safely arrived at Suez, in thirty-
three days from Bombay. She lost twelve days in taking
i❑ coals, at Aden, Ludda, and Cosseir. It appears, more-
over, that she is not well adapted for the ♦oyage in the Red
Sea, owing to her not carrying, with ease, more than six
days' coal. It is now evident that, with a proper steamer,
the Bombay despatches may be received in twenty days.—
A few days ago Mons. Ls BARONS TAYLOR arrived here
in the Laveier French brig of war. He is come to carry
off one of the obelisks, and to solicit the Viceroy for one
of those at Luxor, which are perfect. The one which is
erect is very imperfect. The other, you know, belongs to
us. It is the city of Paris which defrays the expences of
removing these obelisks. Four thousand infintry are just
come down here from Cairo. The greatest activity
in every military department continues to be observed here,
and it is evident MAHOMMED ALI is preparing to repel
the SULTAN'S forces, should he undertake to change the
Government of this country. The two three-deckers
building here are going on rapidly, and great exertions are
being made to complete them.

We are informed that the long-contemplated
deign of erecting a chain-bridge over the river Avon, at
Clifton, will soon be realized. Much to the credit of Bris-
tol and neighbourhood the donations and subscriptions
already amount to about 34,0001., and an Act of Paths-
ment is obtained. The estimate is about 40,0001. to
45,0001., which will easily be raised.
CAMPBELL, THE POET.—The Sligo Ob-
server contains the following article :—" We are requested
by a literary friend to draw the attention of the public to
the following facts :—The heart-thrilling verses beginning
There came to the beach a poor exile of Erin, and pub-
lished by Mr. CAMPBELL amongst his Fugitive Pieces,
were never written by himself !—they are the production
of the late GEORGE NUGENT REYNOLDS, Esq. of Letter-
line, in the county of Leitrim, who, at the time of his
death in England, left them, with other manuscript poems,
to the custody of his friend and relative, the late Duke of
BUCKINGHAM. Mr. CAMPBELL, it seems, had access to
the Duke's papers, and, not apprehending detection, sur-
reptitiously possessed himself of the Exile of Erin. Our
friend desires us to say, that in the event of Mr. CAMP-
BELL'S controverting this statement, be will produce seve-
ral living witnesses to prove that Mr. REYNOLDS had
shewn to and sung for them, as his own composition, the
identical lines, several years prior to his death, and prig
to Mr. CAMPBELL'S publication of them. Indeed, to even
a cursory leader of Mr. CastenzLes poetry, it must be
quite apparent that the Exile of Erin does not at all ac-
cord either with his style of writing, or with the current
of his thoughts." We can hardly believe this story. The
late Marquis (not Duke) of BUCKINGHAM would, no
doubt, have taken better care of his relatives manuscripts:
nor is Mr. CAMPBELL a man to steal, except poetically.
As to Mr. REYNOLDS having recited the verses, we attach
no importance to that fact : we know several instances
where the verses written by one man have been repeated
and claimed by others,—aye, even in the presence of the
real author.—Times. •
