AQUATICS.
ISLEWORTH REGATTA.—The annual 'contest amongst the
*mermen belonging to Isleworth took place yesterday, and
'was very numerously and respectably attended. It was for a
purse of sovereigns given by the highly respectable ladies and
gentlemen residents of this very respectable place, and did not
lack the usual patronage bestowed here to the waterrnen. The
v eather necessarily prevented the attendance of many who
Would otherwise have been out, in fact it is to be wondered at
that so many mere present. The match was amongst the nine

Thatched for a sculler's wager in four heats, certainly rather a

ARRIVAL OF THE KING AND
QUEEN OF THE BELGIANS.

RAMSGATE, TUESDAY MORNING.—This healthy and de-
lightful watering-place, already crowded to suffocation dur-
ing the last three weeks, received last night an accession of
visitors in the persons of the King and Queen of the Bel-
gians and their suite, as well as of numberless persons from
the adjacent parts of the country, who were anxious to see
the young Queen and her Royal husband. It had been
known generally, for some days previous, that the King
was about to pay a visit to this country for the purpose of
congratulating our youthful Queen upon her accession to
the Throne ; but it was not until yesterday morning that
it was positively known, through his Majesty's Consul, Cap;
tain Hodges, and other authorities in this quarter, that the
arrival would take place in the afternoon, and that they
might be expected to land about four o'clock. No sooner,
however, were the news made public of such an important
event, than they flew like wildfire from mouth to mouth,
and every preparation and arrangement made either to fa-
cilitate the landing, or to obtain a view of the Royal per-
sonages. Bathings and excursions were suspended—din-
ners were either ordered for an early hour, or post-
poned to a late one—spyglasses were in perpetual mo-
tion from hand to hand to catch the first glimpse of
the steamer—and, in a word, the excitement was so
great, and so universal, that a stranger, unaware of
the circumstance which gave birth to it, would have
been inclined to conclude that some extraordinary
event was about to happen, and that upon that event de-
pended the salvation of Ramsgate. His Grace of Wel-
lington and Sir Henry Hardinge, and Mr. Arbuthnot, ar-
rived in the afternoon, and immediately proceeded to
the pier head to take up a convenient station for the
reception of their Majesties ; but it seemed at one time
as if all the bustle and preparation would end in disap-
pointment ; for the appointed hour of arrival had come
and gone, and still there was no appearance of the ex-
pected-visitors. By this time the whole of the piers,
from point to point, as well as the windows of every
house having the slightest view of the harbour or the
sea, were densely crowded with spectators, both male
and female ; and rarely, perhaps, if ever, did Ramsgate
exhibit so much beauty and fashion as were displayed upon
the occasion. At length, when expectation began to
sicken, and the eyes of the anxious spectators to grow dim
with gazing, the smoke of the long looked-for steamer was
descried—and then her masts—and then the white foam
which encircled her—and then the Belgian colours and
Royal standard—and, finally, the little steamer rounded
the eastern pier, and was with considerable skill on the part
of her Commander, brought safely to the first flight of
steps amidst the huzzas of the people and the firing of
guns from the town battery. The Duke of Wellington,
Sir W. Curtis, and others immediately repaired on board
to pay their respects to the Royal Visitors, who in about
ten minutes afterwards ascended the stone steps, and having
seated themselves in their carriages were safely wheeled
along the pier to the Albion, where apartments had been
provided for them. The Duke of Wellington, dressed in
the Windsor uniform, followed them on foot.

The Queen looked remarkably well, and was au object
of intense interest to the lady spectators ; but it was uni-
versally remarked that the countenance of the King was
haggard and careworn, and that age began to sit heavily
upon him.

After the arrival of their Majesties, the crowd quietly
dispersed, and, we are happy to add, without the occur-
rence of the slightest accident. The arrangements of the
harbour and civic authorities were indeed excellent, and
did credit to their judgment and discretion.
We ought to mention that the yachts of Sir W. Curtis,
of Mr. Beaumont, and of Captain Hodges, the Belgian
Consul, as well as some vessels in the harbour, were splen-
didy ornamented with flags, and that upon the approach of
their Majesties they fired Royal salutes in unison with the
tow n battery.
Their Majesties leave the Albion this day, and proceed
immediately to Windsor.
It is currently stated that the main object of the visit,
though cloaked under the guise of ceremonial congratula-
tion, has reference to the marriage of our patriotic and
youthful Queen.—Morning Advertiser.

-
For several days the house of the Spanish Lega-
tion has been surrounded by men discharged from the Bri-
tish Auxiliary Legion, demanding the payment of their
claims on the Spanish Government. The Spanish Minister
has caused them to be informed that he has as vet received
neither instructions nor funds for that purpose ; but as soon
as these arrive a Board will be appointed in London to
examine their respective claims previous to their payment,
which will be announced in the public Press.
The Baltimore Gazette- says that a grey eagle was
shot on Shawangank mountains on the 14th ult., which
measured seven feet from tip to tip of the wings. He
was watching a young calf so intently that he did not
move until the third shot broke his leg, when he gave
battle to his opponent. The fourth shot took fatal2effect.
The old grape tree at the back of Hampton Court
Palace, which covers an immense space, and is the largest
in the kingdom proceeding from one root, is now in full
heart, with the branches bearing several thousand bunches
of grapes: In the conservatory there are several fine orange

sees in high perfection.
It is with regret that we have this week to record the
leath of Wm. lisnry Eig., of Ramsey Abbey, for

upwards of 30 years one of the representatives of the county
of Huntingdon in Parliament, and father of the present
Member, Edward Fellowes, Esq., M.P. This melancholy
and sudden event took place at Ramsey on Wednesday
night, about hall-past eight o'clock, Mr. FtHowes having
been ill only from the Sunday preceding. He was in the
69th year of his age, and was universally esteemed in all
relations of lire, and particularly by his extensive tenantry,
to whom he was a kind and indulgent landlord.—Cani-
bridge Chronicle.
THE EXPORTATION OF THE PRECIOUS ME-
TALS.—The exportation of gold and silver coin from the
port of London to foreign ports for the past week, ending
the 29th inst., is as follows :—God coin to the Mauritius,
1,250 oz. ; ditto to the Cape of Good Hope, 1,250 oz.
Silver coin to the Mauritius, 14,500 oz. ; ditto to Van
Diemen's Land, 415 oz.

LAW.-At the Ashton Petit Sessions, on the 16th
instant, James Wainwright, driver of one of Mr. Harpei's
Manchester coaches, was summoned to show why he had
refused to pay toll for his coach at the Andenshavr 'Toll-
gate. The defence set up was, that defendant was taking
freeholders to vote in the election of Members for the
southern division of the county, but it was overruled by proof
being brought that there was a non-elector (a lady) in the
coach, and the magistrates convicted Wainwright in a pe-
nalty of 2s. and costs 13s. 6d. for not complying with the
toll-bar-keeper's demand.-11fanchester Times.
As Mr. C. Berrett, late of Kimpton, was returning
from Salisbury market to his new residence at Durrington,
Wilts, a few days since, about half-past eight in the even-
ing, he was stopped by throe ruffians, who darted from the
hedge ; one of them seized the bridle of the horse which
he was riding, the others requesting him to " hold hard," im-
mediately commenced a most unmerciful attack on him
with their heavy bludgeons. Mr. Berrett being, however,
a tall and powerful person, they could not strike him above
his shoulders, and having himself a decent shelalah in the
shape of a good ash stick, he used it in such a manner upon
the head of the villain holding the bridle, as to completely
stun him, and being released, he immediately galloped
away, and reached home without the loss of his money. It
appears the same man had previously robbed a poor woman
who hawks goods, and" after much ill treatment tied her
hands and legs, and left her in a plantation, where she might
have perished, had not a gentleman fortunately been passing
near, who was attracted by her cries anti went to her assis-
tance.—Hampshire Independent.
On Monday morning, about four o'clock, two shoe-
makers went out from the North Berwick harbour in a
small crazy boat, without any provisions, to amuse them-
selves in fishing for mackerel. They were overtaken with
the gale and carried out to sea, where they were tossed
about till four in the afternoon, when they were seen and
picked up in a very exhausted state by the Viscountess of
Arbuthnot, timber-laden, bound for Hartlepool, about six
miles east of St. Abb's Head. The master treated them
with great kindness, and stood in for Eyernouth, and made
signal for a boat, which went out and carried them ashore,
and they reached home on Wednesday morning about four
o'clock. The greatest praise is due to the master of the
vessel who picked them up ; he not only supplied their im-
mediate want of provision, but gave them a little money.
Knowing the frailty of the boat in which they had em-
barked, and their unfitness to manage it, the greatest fears
were entertained for their safety ; and as both the men are
married, and have families, their wives were in a dreadful
state of agony, which was not relieved till Tuesday after-
noon, when a letter arrived announcing that they were in
Eyemouth.—Edinburgh Courant.
An accident of a fatal nature, arising from want of
caution connected with fire-arms, occurred at Shenstone,
in this county, on Friday last. A youth named Rowley
had taken out a gun for the purpose of shooting some
birds in a corn-field, but on his reaching the spot,
he found the birds had flown away, and in conse-
quence he gave the gun, without discharging it, to
his brother, to take it into the house. His brother did
so, and placed it by the side of the clock. Soon after this
occurred, the sister of the youth, Lucy Rowley, a child
about four years old, sat herself down on a low rocking-
chair opposite the clock, and but an instant or two had
elapsed before the gun was run against by a dog, and
thrown down ; it struck against the chair, and went off,
lodging nearly the whole of the shot in the neck and head
of the unfortunate child, who instantly expired.—Stagy ord-
shire Advertiser.•

THE APPROPRIATION CLAUSE.

(From a Correspondent of the Morniny Chronicle.)
The Times of Monday argues that on this question the
Ministry will be defeated in their own Parliament. Hoe
can this be ? Ay, how indeed ? every man will ask, *vb.
looks at things with an eye unblinded by party prejudice
In oar humble judgment they will be enabled to carry Ili,
identical question by a larger majority than has yet divide,
in its favour, at least by one certainly as large ; and tr
prove that our opinion is founded on reason, we will proceet:
with facts.
In 1835, the Ministerial majority was 33 ; and, for the
sake of argument, we will assume that they (the Ministers)
at the dissolution could count, in round numbers, 30 ori
whom they might depend as their majority on this question
—there were then in favour of the clause 322, and opposed
to it 290, in the division of 1835.
At the election just concluded, the following gentlemel,
who opposed the clause were displaced by the gentlemen
whose names are given, and who it is not unfair to assutm
will suppo7 t it, viz. :
Vyvyan by Berkeley H inmee by Slangy
Russell by Palmer Lees by Johnson
Fector by Rice t3eekett by iviotesworth
Beresford by Byng Charlton by Salivey
Gladstone by Duckworth Johnston by Styles
Goulburn by Easthope Balfour by Dundas

Lawson by Rich Thomas by Mahoney!
Wortley by Protheroe Plunkett by Somerville
Lewis by Morris Tennent by Belfast
Hardy by Busfield Dunbar by Gibson
Scourfield by Philips Martin by Somers
Hey by Duncan Alexander by Hamilton-56.
And the undermentioned gentlemen who supported the
clause are displaced by those whose names are placed
against them, and who it is supposed will oppose it, viz.:—
Lee by Blakemore Tynte by Courtenay
Copeland by Litton Holland by Barneby
Williams by Jones Cookes by St. Paul
Bagshaw by Barnes Bowring by Colquhoun
Smith by Hamilton Hume by Wood

How then stands the fact ? Why, that Ministers have
gained by the dissolution three totes on the question which
we are told they cannot carry in the Commons, and will di-
vide the House, whenever the Tories force a division, with
a majority of thirty-three in their favour.
To avoid argument, I may state that the following gentle-
men opposed the clause, as will also their successors :
Sir 0. Mosley by H. B. Baring Mr. H. Maxwell oy Mr Lockhart
Sir G. Gzirvois by Sir G. Rose Mr. l hompson by Mr. Broadl.l
Sir L. Parry, by Mr. B. Hughes Mr. EL Wilson by Mr. H. Logan
Col. T. Knox by Lord Northland Mr. L. W. Dillwyn by Lord Adare
Mr. W. Scott by Sir W. Heath,ote Mr. F. North by Sir J. Planta
Which makes no difference in the strength of a division.
