Busk ye, busk ye, man and woman !
Make haste and see our Nobles pass—

Our leddies press thee to their bosom !

RYDE, AUGUST 9.

The RYDE REGATTA is fixed for Monday, August 19th
instant, and at no preceding Regatta has so much interest been
excited from the number of fine boats entered for the Sailing
Matches, and the great improvement which has taken place in
their equipment since the establishment of the Annual Regatta,
and the state of the tide on that day named, which will be up
the greater part of the day, rendering the Pier, which extends
1500 feet into the sea, a delightful place for viewing the whole of
the detail of the Sailing Matches, and for enjoying The pure and
refreshing sea breeze for which this fashionable and improving
watering place is so celebrated. The company already at Hyde are
very numerous, and many other families are daily arriving, the ac-
commodations of the place having greatly increased so as to merit
the additional demand for houses, &c.—The REGATTA BALL,
at the Library, on the 19th inst. like all former ones, will at-
tract all the fashion and beauty of the neighbourhood, and will
form, with the Theatre, an excellent finale to the amusements.
—Still remaining here—tarl and Countess Spencer anti Fami-
ly, Sir Francis and Lady Drake, Mr. and Mrs. F. Scott, Rev.
W. Wheeler, Mrs. Knyvett and family, Mr. Poynder and
Family, Mr. Pratt and Family, Capt. Richardson, Mr. Kentis.

SOUTHA UPTON, AUG. 10.
This town now presents a gay and animated scene ; our streets
are graced with many elegant equipages, and our rivers with
many gentlemen's yachts and boats. The race-course is in
fine order ; and expectation is at its height respecting the sport
which will take place next week. Neither exertions nor ex-
pences have been spared by, the Stewards, to contribute to the
comfort of those who will be present. Ten horses are entered for
100 sovereigns, and six for the sweepstakes with 501. added from
the fund, for the first day. Five horses are also named for the
sweepstakes on 'the second day : many more,it 'is expected,
will be yet entered. The Ordinaries will, no doubt, be well
attended. On Thursday night a Play will be commanded by,
the Stewards ; on Fridiry night there will be a Ball and Sup-
per at the Long Rooms, and on Saturday a grand Concert by
Madame Bulgari.

VAUXHALL G ARDEN S.-Yesterday being his
MAJESTY'S Birth-Day, a splendid fete was given at this
deli&htful place of amusement in the evening, which was more
fashionably and numerously attended than any commemora-
tion of the kind has been for many years. The brilliancy
of the illumination had the most striking effect, and the vari-
ous devices appropriate to the occasion were executed with
much taste. In addition to the vast increase which was made
in the number of variegated lamps, the amusements by which
it is contrived to keep the attention alive for such a number
of hours were considerably augmented and diversified. The
most celebrated Performers on the Slack and Tight Rope ex.
hibited their feats ; and Ramo Samee went through his evolu-
tions on a more extensive theatre, and before a imore crowded
assembly than ever. But it would be tedious to enume-
rate the diversities of the evening. especially as they have been
already deScribed with sufficient accuracy in the bills. A Grand
Concert of Vocal and Instrument Music is, however, too im-
portant a feature to be dismissed among. the et cetera, without
any other notice than general approbation. We shall therefore
say of it, that it was very well executed in all its parts ; and
that we were gratified to find among the vocal corps our old
favourite Mrs. Bland, who was .in excellent voice, and sung with
all the sweetness and feeling to which she owes her eminence in
the profession. The national anthem of " God save the King"
was performed in a style of excellence which deserved an encore.
Nothing could exceed the regularity observed in the different
departments of an entertainment so various. It reflects much
credit on the respective conductors, as well as on the directing
mind by which the whole was superintended ; and we make no
doubt that the result will reward the proprietors, not only by
its immediate profits, but by reflecting additional popularity on
their establishment.

HENRY DYMOKE, Esq., elder son of the Hon. Rev. Cham-
pion Dymoke, will shortly lead to the Hymeneal altar Miss
EMMA PEARCE, one of the amiable and accomplished daugh-
ters of Wm. Pearce, Esq., of Holm Cottage, Richmond.
Thursday, the Senate of the University of
Glasgow, after the usual examinations, conferred the degree of
Doctor in Medicine on Mr. T. J. Wharrie, Assistant-Surgeon
H. P. 86th refit. ; and Mr. J. B. Wharrie, Surgeon, Hamilton.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, President of the
Society of Arts, &c., London, has lately presented the So-
ciety's large medal to Mr. Thom, of Rothesay, for his very
ingenious invention of a series of self-acting Sluices for regu-
lating the supply of water between Reservoirs and Mills,
Canals, &c. ; and also for a new method of collecting water
for Reservoirs, and for economising it afterwards. By these
means Mr. Thom has been enabled to. set aside steam-en-
gines to the extent of thirty horses power, which were for-
merly used at Rothesay Mills, and to supply their place
by water, for two years past, notwithstanding the great
drought of both last summer and the present. Were similar
plans adopted at Mills where water is scarce, similar effects
would be produced. Indeed, in most cases, the supply of
water might be doubled, or, in other words, between in-
creasing the supply, and economising it afterwards, the water
might be made to produce double its former effect. The me-
thod by which this is done is so very simple, and the expense
comparatively so small, that there is little doubt of the prac-
tice becoming general as soon as it is fully known.—( Glasgow
Courier, 4uguat 10. )

THE MARQVIS OF LONDONDERRY.

The following particula-rs of the death of this
great Statesman, and encomiums on his charac-
ter, are selected froth the Morning Papers of
this day :

iMOUNING POST.]
We hive had to record in our time many national losses and
inflictions : but never have we had a more painful task to per-
forth than that which the sudden demise of this accomplished
Nobleman and highly-gifted Minister imposes upon us. .This
calamity (for a grievous calamity to the country will it prove)
occurred yesterday morning at his Lordship's seat at North
Cray. Of the cause of this most lamentable event the accounts
circulated differ in some, but in no material particulars. The
following, which reached- us at a late hour last night, we
believe to be the most correct :--" His Lordship had
for some time been subject .to frequent attacks of what
is denominated by medical men„ flying gout'.; but .no
serious apprehension was entertained either by his Lord-
ship or his medical attendants, of the sudden and fatal
result which has so unexpectedly taken place. His Lordship
attended a Cabinet Council on Thursday last, in apparent good
health. On Friday he had an audience of the King. On Sa-
turday, being seized with a species of stupor, he was cupped,
and experienced, in consequence, considerable relief. Early
on the Sunday morning, his Lordship had a sudden attack of
the gout,:which increased very considerably during the day.—
In the evening, Mr. Lashford was dispatched to town for Dr.
Bankhead, his Lordship's Family Physician. During the
night, the symptoms that manifested themselv6s were not only
truly. alarming, • but, uncontroulable by every medical means,
and at nine o'clock yesterday morning his Lordship expired."
This melancholy intelligence was brought to the Foreign Of-
fice about. eleven o'clock yesterday by Mr. Vick, a King's Mes-
senger. The agitation and confusion which it created in all
the Government Offices can scarcely be described. Dispatches
were immediately sent to all the Cabinet Ministers who wire
out of town, and also to his Majesty, on whose birth-day this
calamitous event happened. The effect in the city was so
great, notwithstanding the doubts entertained, as to produce an
immediate fall of half per cent. in the Funds.—From the con-
sequence of his family, his Lordship found himself at an
early age engaged in political; and a seat in the Irish Parliament
enabled him to biing into action, and to mature by experience,
those abilities which weree,afterwards to shine on a wider stage ;
the talents which he displayed having shevin that he was quali-
fied for services of an important nature, he was intrusted as
Secretary for Ireland with the public administration of his
country, and was one of the chief agents in proposing and carry-
ing into -effect the great measure of the Union, which formed
ed the three Kingdoms into one solid and mighty empire. The
calumnies with which defeated malignity assailed him at the time,
he has had the satisfaction to see discredited by the good, and
ultimatelyretracted by their propagators. The whole tenour of
his life was, in fact, their most triumphant refutation. On the
accomplishment of the Union he took his seat in the Parliament
of the United Kingdom as Chief Secretary for Ireland, in which
situation he continued till his temporary retirement from office
with theimmortzl.Pitt. Soon after, however, he was raised
to the head of a more important branch of the Administration,
and entered into a more extended sphere, not only as Minister
of the War and Colonial Department, but as President of thd
Board of Controul. On the return of Mr. Pitt to office, he
still retained those Offices, but resigned them on the death of
that great man, whose Administration was succeeded by that
of Lord Grenville and Mr. Fox. In the Portland Administra-
tion which succeeded, Lord Castlereagh was again appointed
to the War and Colonial Department. The cause of his resig-
nation it is unnecessary here to explain ; and the duel which took
place would have given more satisfaction than pain to the pub-
lic, had it not been followed by the secession of two of the
ablest Members of Administration from office. Being soon
after called 'upon to take -a leading part in the Government, his
Lordship chose a post more suited to his comprehensive mind,
than his former situation, which had confined him to a parti-
cular province. As Minister. for Foreign Affairs, the whole
world was his field of action, and richly has he stored it with
monuments of his wisdom, his energy, and his genius. Never
did Minister enter into the exercise of his charge at a time of
greater difficulty and danger. France was still in the pleni-
tude of her power. Her victorious Ruler, at the head of the
collected forces of the Continent, was trampling upon the re-
sistance of Russia, and cutting his way to her ancient capital.
The world lay appalled, and all thought of its being pos-
sible to assist the invaded, and to rescue mankind from the
shame and bondage of universal empire, was repressed as soon
as born, as too preposterous to be entertained. Lord Castlereagh
alone (the late Marquis) felt his spirit equal to the mighty task.
Whilst millions shrunk in despair, he combined die elements of
success; he gave them form—lie gave them life—he gave them
action—and that action came like a tempest, and swept the con-
queror and his congregated empire from the earth. By skilful
negociations and judicious treaties, by liberal advances, by active
exertions wherever the enemy was vulnerable, and by that fixed
determination which no difficulty can alter, no peril turn aside,
joined to powers of persuasion which owed their influence to the
just views and disinterested motives which they were employed
-to enforce, was this mighty result produCed, and the face of the
political world more changed in the course of a few months
than that of creation after the Deluge. Yet. all was not ac-
complished. Consolidation must follow restoration, and what
had been gained by war mast be secured by peace. Here,
too, was the triumph of our Minister complete. Without lett-
ing England abandon the high station of 'Arbiter of Europe, he
disentangled her from all those Continental chains and inte-
rests which might have drawn her against her will, -had they
subsisted, into future contests. That his system was founded
on just views, and carried into effect with due vigour, is proved
by the fact, that the ;Peace to which it gave birth survives its
author. As a man, whatever differences might have exist-
ed between him and his opponents in a political point
of view, he obtained and deserved the admiration of
all those who had the. pleasure and honour of his per-
sonal acquaintance. In a domestic point of view, whether
as a husband, a master, a landlord, or a friend, we believe few
men possessed more eminent virtues. Ills heart was always
open to a tale of distress, and his hand ready to grant relief where
the means were within his power. The Noble Marquis was
eldest son to the late Marquis of Londonderry, to whose title
he succeeded on leis demise in 1821. lie was born June 18th,
1769, and was consequently at his death 53 years of age. His
Lordship married on the 9th June, 1794, Amelia Hobart,
youngest daughter and co-heiress of John, second Earl of Buck-
inghamshire, the present Marchioness. His Lordship dying
without issue, his titles and estates descend to his brother
Lord Stewart, the present Ambassador at the Court of Vienna.
This noble branch of the house of Stewart descended from Sir
Thomas Stewart, of, Minto, second son of Sir William Stewart,
of Galles, ancestor of the Earls of GalloWay. The father of
the late Marquis was created.to the dignity of Baron, London-
derry, Nov. 18, 1789 ; Viscount Castlereagh, Oct. '6, 1795 ;
Earl of Londonderry, Aug. 10, 1796, and 111-arquia of London-
derry a few years since.. Rumour last night named as his
Lordship's probable successor Mr. Secretary Peel, who will be
succeeded in the Home Department by aMr. Grant.

[THE TIMES.]
The Marquis of Londonderry has been described as the
prop of the existing Ministry—with what truth is not yet appa-
rent. That he was one of the most remarkable men to be
found amongst the rulers of any enlightened people, will hardly
seem paradoxical to those who compare his characteristics as
Minister of State with the nature and magnitude of those emer-
gencies which called them into frequent action. As a member
of society, apart from office, we bear a willing tribute to those
valuable qualities. by which his Lordship acquired and preserved
the affections of his numerous friends. We pass by the mere
accomplishnients and elegancies which distinguished him, since
to dwell upon them would be to depreciate his more solid vir-
tues. Lord Londonderry was a man of unassuming manners.
of simple tastes, and (so far as regarded private life) of kind
and generous dispositions. Towards the poor he was benefi-
cent : in, his family mild, considerate, and forbearing. He
was flea to the connexions and associates of his earlier days,
not only those of choice, but of accident, when not unworthy ;
and to promote them, and to advance their interests, his efforts
were sincere and indefatigable. In power he forgot no service
rendered to him while he was in a private station, nor broke
any promise, expressed or implied, nor abandoned any friend
who claimed and merited his assistance. These are good sound
qualities of a moral agent, and in the estimate of general worth
they have a high redeeming power.—An outcry has been often
raised against Lord Castlereagh, for giving countenance to the
horrid floggings and torturings practised during the deplorable
season of 1798: but in in his winding-sheet we are bound
to do him justice. It was not suspected by well-informed in.en
at the time, that either the Secretary, the Lord Lieutenant, or
the British officers and soldiers then in Ireland, were parties
to that abominable system. It was the fanatics of the Orange
faction who gave a loose to such excesses, under a dreacful but
not unnatural thirst of vengeance for atrocities the most appal-
ling which had been, in the South of Ireland, perpetrated every
where by the rebels. The Government, we believe, did go so
far as remonstrances, to check the progress of inhuman cruelty
and oppression ; but the Government itself was overpowered by
its friends; and until the arrival of Lord Cornwallis with mi-
litary reinforcements, which placed him in a condition to com-
mand where his predecessor had vainly supplicated, the Orange..
men rode paramount over life, and liberty, and law. Of Lord
Castlereagh's connivance at, much less participation in, those
cruelties, although he was believed guilty, without trial, by the
public, we never aeard a syllable from any impartial source ;
and his native character and subsequent modes of action are of
themselves enough to vindicate his memory from the stigma._
Of the Rebellion, and the next great event, the Union, we need

say no more than that he derived from one of them the imputa-
tion of being the most barbarous—from the other, that of
being the most profligate and corrupt of men; and that the
manner in which his name was connected with both of
them by the voice of ignorance or of party malice, has
rendered him for many years the least popular Lishman
that ever wielded the patronage of his country. It can-
not be indifferent to the nation to inquire by what strange
union of circumstances, or by what unlucky direction of
power, no one person has attained to high office in this coun-
try, at a period the most important aid ominous, the most fer-
tile in change, and the most fraught with terror of any of our
annals, whose name was even capable deriving so much adven-
titious splendour from the magnificence of the passing era es
to stand a chance of being visible in the eye of another genera-
tion. Whether is it from the growth of Royal influence, or the
vicious disunion and consequent impotence of all popular party,
that in meditating without one unfriendly or acrimonious feeling ,
on the sudden end of the most conspicuous Minister in this coun-
try, we must admire the manifest mediocrity of his genius—how
little qualified he was to impress his own likeness on any single
page of history; or how incapable to act but as a mere associate
7—to be put forward in the face ofEurope or in that of the Com-
mons of England, not as himself a high and original porter,
but as a passive organ for the expression of sentiments, or for
the execution of measures, not hereafter traceable to a source
more distinct than that of " twelve names unknown ?" Lord
Londonderry was personally brave. Though leader of the
House of Commons, he was, as a speaker, greatly open to
animadversion. In argument he was shrewd, in manner com-
posed, in language, mostly careless—often ludicrous ; but by
his general demeanour, acceptable to the body of the House.

[NEW TIDIES.]
The Marquis of Londonderry died yesterday morning. We
have neither time nor inclination at this moment to enter into
a detail of the Marquis of Londonderry's political life, nor into
a particular examination of his character. At a moment of
less agitation a review of the leading features of both may be
interesting, although, in truth, little can be added to what
is already known to the country at large. Lord London.
derry was scarcely of age when he was first introduced
into Parliament. He soon began to take an active part
in politics, and has since made an important figure in the
affairs, not only of Great Britain, but of the civilised world.
Throughout his arduous career he exhibited courage the most
inflexible. As a leader in the House of Commons he was re-
markable for extensive information, imperturbable serenity of
temper, singular acuteness and address, great facility in reply,
and a tact which appeared almost instinctive under circumstances
the most delicate and momentous. His style of speaking
had none of the Poetry of eloquence about it, and was com-
monly more remarkable for case
.and fluency than for
force and origihality ; but on some important questions,
he rose far above the level of ordinary speakers, and
produced a powerful effect. On all occasions he exhibit-
ed a versatility of talent, and an energy of mind, which often
excited the admiration even of his most decided opponents. As
a private man, his character was highly estimable. He was
beloved by it numerous circle of friends, and regarded more as
a father than as a landlord, by his tenantry.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.
A great sensation was yesterday produce in the metropolis
by the intelligence of the death of the Marquis of Londonderry.
His Lordship had, it seems, been slightly indisposed on Friday
and Saturday last, and on Saturday evening he was cupped
and used the warm bath. On Sunday, it is said, he consid-
ered himself better. The knowledge of this indisposition was
not, lowever, general ; indeed it was nearly confined to his
Lordship's friends and medical attendants, by whom we
understand no apprehension was entertained of any serious
danger. Yesterday
.morning, however, the gout, of which
his Lordship, as is well known, has had several severe at-
tacks, flew to his stomach and occasioned his sudden death. As a
Statesman, his Lordship would seem to have been guided rather
by temporary expediency than by fixed principles. It was im-
possible that he should not have benefited by his long expe-
rience ; but still his knowledge on many important subjects
seemed neither extensive nor well concocted. He certainly,
however, possessed no ordinary share of sagacity, and in diffi-
cult conjunctures be almost uniformly displayed great tact
and presence of mind. Without being possessed of what is
usually considered eloquence, without possessing even the
power of giving arrangement to his speeches, with a style
which set all criticism at defiance, ar:d abounding with the
most ludicrous solecisms, he was yet a powerful and
ef-
fective speaker. He seemed to be totally devoid of any
thing approaching to enthusiasm, and to entertain by no means
elevated notions of human nature. Hence, no doubt, his in-
difference with regard to social improvement and the future con-
dition of man. I-its manners were mild and conciliating, and his
whole demeanour was always that of a perfect Gentleman. In
firmness and fortitude, on occasions which demanded the display
of these qualities, he was never deficient. The friends and de-
pendents of his Lordship we have always understood were great.
ly attached to him. His unpopularity was, we believe, less
the result of' the judgment formed of his conduct in this coun-
try than of the reports which followed him from Ireland.—
With the-greater part of his countrymen his Lordship was no
favourite. Of the part of his Lordship's history which connects
itself with Ireland, however, we can form no opinion.—Conjec-
ture is of course busied with his Lordship's successor. Mr.
Canning's was the first name which suggested itself, notwith-
standing the high and lucrative situation to which he has
been lately appointed. But though political animosities sel-
dom hold out long against conveniency, the feeling supposed to
be entertained towards Mr. Canning, in a certain quarter, and
the opinions of each other, which the Lord Chancellor and him-
self have been at so little pains to conceal, seem to throw ob-
stacles in the way of his admission into the Cabinet at this time,
We have heard that Lord Liverpool has named Sir Charles
Stewart, our Ambassador in Paris, and that he is likely to be
the succcsser.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
We are not apprehensive of being charged with insincerity
when we affirm that it is with deep and unfeigned regret we have
this day to announce the death of the Marquis of London-
derry. There are circumstances and feelings which we trust can
exercise a kindly influence over society beyond the feverish and
troubled circle of politics, and the world may join in lamenting
over the death of a good man, without anxiously scanning his
merits as a Statesman and a Minister. The Union of- the
British and Irish Parliaments was his first great political
achievement. Few men have occupied a larger share of public
attention than the Marquis of Londonderry, and few have pur-
sued a political career more brilliant in its course, or in its re-
sults individually more fortunate. His talents seemed to have
been happily formed for active life, and from whatever cause
arising, his fame brightened and extended in proportion as the
sphere of his exertions became more enlarged and more conspi-
cuous. As the Representative of the British Empire in the
Congress of Kings, he yielded to none in those external attri-
butes and forms which attract the eye and gratify the mind of
the million. His figure and countenance were manly, ingenu-
ous, and dignified, and his manners were peculiarly fascinat-
ing. His address was easy and apparently unreserved, but it
was said of him that he possessed in a peculiar degree that
talent that.belongs, we hope exclusively, to the habits of
diplomacy • of dissembling the actual object of his wishes.
Lordship, though a Peer of Ireland, continued after
his accession to the title of his father to hold a seat in the
House of Commons, where he represented an English borough.
The urgent necessities of the Ministry required this sacrifice
from the Noble Marquis;- for it would be difficult to finu
another person so eminently qualified as he was for a leader of
the business in the House of Commons. This statement must
appear remarkable to those who have heard that the Noble
Marquis was not distinguished for the style, the manner, or
the expression of his parliamentary oratory. He was copious
without distinctness, his ideas were not always well digested or
well arranged, his words were frequently-ill-selected, and he was
sometimes not intelligible where he seemed most anxious to be,
communicative. This might have been the habit of his mind,
or it might have been policy, but whatever momentary impulse
such a defect might have occasioned, it seemed to have detract.
ed very little from his efficiency as a parliamentary leader. He
was in this character uniformly active and ready, he never suf-
fered a weak point in his opponents to escape observation, and
he was singularly dexterous in urging all the strength of his own
case. To these qualities he added those of an imperturbable
temper, which bade defiance to ridicule or taunts, and a cool
manifestation of a determined spirit, which would not brook the
semblance of an insult. He was well known to possess a high
sense of honour, and unshaken personal courage, which were
the more esteemed by all parties, as he never condescended to
unnecessary ostentation. It is highly gratifying to us to con-
clude these few remarks upon this eminent Statesman, by
turning from the topics of public life, to view him in the rela-
tions of private society. In this point allparties, no matter of what
political character;have concurred in giving him the most undivid-
ed applause. As a sonlit must be said of him,that he consoled and
brightened the declining days of his aged parent, who blessed
him with his latest breath ; as a husband and a brother, his
conduct has been equally exemplary ; and as a master, he was
loved and honoured by his domestics. In the intercourse of
friendly society he was admired and esteemed for his amiable
qualities; and there is not one who ever had the honour and
the pleasure of his acquaintance, who will not sincerely regret
his sudden and melancholy death.

[MORNING HERALD.]
The deepest sensation was created yesterday, when the ac-
count of the death of Lord Londonderry was received in town.
The first occasion in which his Lordship played an active cr
conspicuous part-was the disastrous one of the Irish rebellion.
The Secretary was the visible and acting arm of the (iovtrn-

meat ; —upon him was heaped the odium of all that was done
by the runian satellites of the Government in authority beneath
him, and of all that was resolved in Council above. We shall not
take u ponus to measure out his Lordship's share in these unhappy
transactions, but we willsav that he has been the victim on this poin t
of obloquy and injustice. it was remarkable that this was th e only
topic which ever ruffled his temper in debate. An imputa-
tion upon him for his share in Irish politics at thst period,
thrown out from the Opposition benches, instantly called
the blood into his cheeks, and drew from him such an an-
swer as apprised the assailant he was trading upon more
delicate and perilous ground than that of ordinary political
contention. -His participation in the Union is another accu-
sation against him. To examine this point would be to ex-
amine the measure itself, which we are little disposed to do
at this time of day. Since the Union, his political life has
been constantly under the eye of the British public. The most
interesting light in which he can be viewed is that of a speaker
in Parliament.—With few qualities of an orator, he was an ef-
fective, and sometimes even might be called a shining, debater.
The engaging nobleness of his person and manners gave weight
in him to what would have dropped unnoticed from another : his
imperturbable sang froid and rine tact, whilst they prevented
his committing himself, gave him frequent advantages over the
coarser perceptions and less governed temper of an adversary.__
His temperament was peculiar—at once impassive and intrepid—
nothing provoked, nothing daunted him. He had that steady
disregard of personal danger, which is the spring of enter-
prize, and without which a public man's tenure of public
character is uncertain indeed. In private life he is said
to have been estimable and amiable. His intercourse by
letters with some of his early private friends in Ireland
