HUNGERFORD REGATTA. •
Several parishes on the banks of the Thames have lately been
in the habit of making prizes for watermen, with a view of
premoting the activity and industry of that class. Yesterday
the third annual wherry, given by the Ladies and Gentlemen
of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, was rowed for in three heats, by
eight pair of oars belonging to Hungerford Stairs. The fol-
lowing were the rowers :
J. Parry . 1 Scarlet. W
J. Micfelt - I Black.
J. Fagen - ' i ''' . Moody -
T. Votkin -
Pink.
W. Emery - 1 C. Dulls
Blue. C.Dodd-- 1
Catmore W. W
T. Danford . 1 ')
J. Davis
J. Brand : W. Butcher f Green.
1 White J. Reynolds 1 Oran
f
J. Jones - i Yellow.
' G: Butcher .ge .
The boats were to start from the buoy off Hungerford Stairs,
row round the Police-vessel at Strand-lane, pull to the Speaker's
house at Westminster, and return to the Prize-wherry at
Hungerford.—The first and second boats, of two heats, were
only to start for the third or grand heat. They started about
two o'clock, and the first heat was gained by Blue and Yellow.
The second was remarkable for a very close contest between
Orange and Pink. Those boats came 3n first and second.—The
third heat, Which was to decide the wager, was maintained with
great spirit by the four winning boats, viz. Blue, Yellow,
Orange, and Pink.—ln the last contest the men, who were all
strong and regular watermen, pulled against wind and tide
with rapidity seldom seen on the River ; Orange, however,
maintained superiority, and won the prize, which appeared to
be a very handsome boat.—Bands of music were stationed on
the water, and the bells of St. Martin's increased the spirit of
the regatta. The other boats received smaller prizes.

The following letter is published in the file of
he London Gazette for 1745; it is from the
Lords of the Admiralty to the Commissioners of
.he Navy :

" Gentlemen—His Majesty having been pleased in Council
to sign an order, desiring and directing us to sign a bill on you,
for paying unto Sir Andrew Fountain, lint., warden of his Ma-
jesty's the sum of 1001., for enabling him to provide a
medal and chain of that value, for Richard Hornby, master of
the ship Wrightson and Isabella, as a reward to him for his
good service, in not only defending the said ship, whose crew
consisted of but fire men and three boys, from a French priva-
teer of 75 men :;but also by firing a shot in the stern of the pri-
vateer, whereby she blew up, and all her crew perished ; and
as an encouragement to others under the like circumstances, to
exert themselves in the defence of their ships, and the destruc-
tion of the enemy ; and you are likewise to pay a bounty of 51.
to each of the five men, and 40s. to each of the three boys, be-
longing to the said ship. We are, &c."

There has just arrivpd at London, on board
the George and Ann brig, Colonel PISA, from Gilboa. to which
place he was conducted by a detachment of Spanish cavalry.—.
This martyr to liberty, who has served with such Spartan con-
fidence, has suffered, during twenty months' imprisonment,
the most severe torments. Three months he received nothing
but bread and water, and several times he was on the point of
suffering death. He is indebted for his life to Mr. NEL-
SON, the Minister of the United States at Madrid ; to Mr.
APPLETON, Secretary of legation of the United States at Lon-
don, and to the Countess of VILLANforrrE, one of the first class
of Spanish nobility. His accusers were M. Duaso, Chaplain
to the King of SPAIN, Member of the Secret Cabinet of his
Majesty, and editor of the Madrid Gazette; M. CARMEN
Rowcam, one of his Majesty's secret advisers; M. AGUDO,
and M. LORENZO Rossi, a Florentine; Colonel PIsA was
sent out of Spain by a decree, for the purpose of the Alcades,
dated Madrid, July 2, 1825, he being a Neapolitan subject.
The Will of the late HENRY FOSELI, Esq.
Keeper of the Royal Academy, was proved in the Prerogative
Court in Doctors' Commons, on the 7th inst. _by the oath of
John Knowles, Esq. of the Navy Office, one of the executors.
It is dated the 21st November, 1822. All the property is left
to his wife, Sophia Fuseli ; it is sworn under 6,0001. Robert
Balmanno, Esq.is nominated as the other executor.
IMPORTANT FACTS.-We derive the follow-
ing brace of important facts from recent American Papers,
viz.:—that General LA FAYETTE has been made a Doctor of
Civil Laws by one of the United States Universities, and that
lie has recovered his 4rold.headed cane !
