REGATT4.

BANKS OF WINDERMERE, juLY, tt3,9, --
This annual festivity commenced on Tuesday, the
25th, by a Ball at the White Lion) at Bowness,
which was very numerously and respectably attended.
Two rooms, handsomely ornamented, were appr-
priated to claming) councded together by an awn..
log decorated with coloured lamps, which had a
beautiful etre& At a late hour the company sepa.i.
rated. Early on Wednesday Morning the-banks of
the lake were crowded with speCtators from all parts
of the,Country, to witness a scene the most ench4nt4
log. that can be imagined. The lake ai covered
with- a number of sailing and.rowing,boats-c4 dif.;
fereut sizes,.and variously rigged : those which were
to contend for the prize, by a signal gun fired at a
quarter before eleven, horn a commanding battery
on the East side of the hike, on which the Royal
Standard was .erected, assembled near are Ferry•
house, to prepare for starting, and at eleven o'clock
precisely, by another signal gun; they pinceeded tci
sail twice round a buoy, moored at the distance of
between three and four miles. •

The early part of the morning was beautiful; and
highly favourable for the day's aniusement, until the
mornent of the race commencing, when we experi-
enced one of the most awful and tremendous thundee
storms that the oldest inhabitants of this country re-
member to have witnssed, and whiCh,\Ve are curry to
learn, has done considerable injury in the neighbour-
hood. The rain fell in torrents, wit nout intermission,fill
a late hour in the evening. however, did not
prevent the race horn proceeding; and after a beau-
tiful contest of four hours, between the boats of Mr.
Bolton and Mr. Wilson,- it terminated in favour of
Mr. Bolton's boat the Viaory. Afterwards above
so Gentlemen sat down to dinner in a tent prepared
for the -purpose at the Ferry-house, where many
loyal and constitutional toasts were drank with en-
thusiasm, and the whole•was candu6ted with the
greatest hilarity and good humour. An excellent
band of music, provided by the Steward, contributed
greatly to the festivity of the entertainment. The
continued rain prevented the further amusements of
the evening.,_

On Thursday morning the lake assumed the
gayek appearance, and the day was closed by one of
the most splendid fetes we have ever witnessed,
given by the Steward, John Bolton, Esq. at his
magnificent mansion, Storrs-Hall. The house,
though in an unfinished • state, was fitted up in a
style that did infinite credit to the taste and libera-
lity of its hospitable poAsessors. Nothing could sur-
pass the splendour of the decorations. 'The dancing
commenced at ten,, and at one, the company, con-
sisting of 150 persons, sat down to a most elegant
supper, provided withevery delicacy the season could
afford. After supper the;dancing re-commenced-,
and was kept up with spirit till four, when the ,com-
pany retired,highly delighted with the attention of the
worthy host and hostess.

HOME CIRCUIT,

KENT ASSIZES.

MAIDSTONE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 3.

Three Special Jury causes were appointed for this
morning, one of which went off for defeci, of Jurors ;
another was withdrawn; and the third, which was
whether certain lands were subject to a mocks or
not, was shortly disposed of. The only evidence
givenof the moth's was the receipts of the last two
Vicars, which his Lordship held was inst2itic:ent
proof.
The business finished before ten o'clock this alcrn-
ing, and concluded the Assizes. '

, THE ARTS.—The publioation brought forward by
Mr. ACKERMANN, under the.title of REPOSITORY or
THE ARTS, we consider as one of the most valu.able
periodical Works of the time, and far from being dis-
posed to retraet the favourable accountswhich we have
before given,we feel pleasure in bearing testimony in
fa vourof his increased zeal to deserve public patronage.
In hislast Number wp find that he has given ten pages
above the usual quantity of matter, .with additional
decorations, and thereby rendering his Work still
mere conspicuous for utility and beauty.
The adjourned Surrey. Sessions commenced yes-
terday, at the Session-House, Horsemon„,,wer-lane,
before Mr. Serjeant OxsLow, and a full gerrch of
Magistrates. A number of insolvent Debtor were
brought up from the King's Bench, and discharged.
Several who were opposed on various grounds were
remanded, and will be brought up again when all,
those who are not opposed have been liberated.

The Defendant, in the complaint at Union Ha!), cf
an asssait mentioned in our Paper of yesterday; We
understand, is not Mr. Bowton of the Stock Ex.
change, but a Mr. Bowdon. We are also assured
that the transaaion uai not occasioned by, any obser-
vations respeaing Vauxhall Bridge.

being all that time in the rules'of the King's Bench,

to the withdrawing-of pieces; his Lordship could not
say that it' might hot be judicious- t 9 compliment
Sheridan tunl to- whet the .cu-'
60-it vof the public. 1-lis Lordship, upon the whole,
was of opinion, that the best course would be to refer
the matter to the -Master, in the long,vacation, who

, formable to thelgrcement as possible.
The Master was further to inquire, whether Mr.
Colman had performed his duties as Manager, or was
capable of perfointing them in 'future. Ii he bad
rrroi cued iris iluiy,-tie would,be :continued as Ma-;
_ naor, under a covenant similar to that in the
.agre-

that he.had not peribraltd.his duty, and if the Court
coocurrediti titat opinion, another 'Manager. would
be 4poirited.. The Master was likewise oireaed.t6
ingnire, _whether; Mr. Colman.. had acquiesced in
the purehtse, by Mr. Morris, .of Mr. rfa.oiirden's
