THE KING, &e.

WiNneon, Atm. 25.—His MASESTT and suite took an
airing this morning in the accustomed manner. After the King
returned to the Royal Lodge, his 'Majesty walked upwards of
an hour in the plantations attached to the Lodge. Her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Gloucester arrived yesterday evening
at Frogmore, on a visit to her illustrious relations. The Prin.
cess Augusta gave a select Dinner Party. Their Royal High-
nesses the Duke and Duchess of Clarence will extend their stay
at Frogmore, it is expected, till the end of the week. Mr.
Wyatville arrived at the Castle this morning, and was engaged
for several hours in inspecting the progress the workmen have
made, and giving the necessary instructions. A considerable
portion of the court-yard has been lowered to the requisite
depth, and the erection of the magnificent corrider will be com-
menced immediately. Several trifling articles continue to he
discovered in the course of the excavations, among which is a

-
large silver coin of Charles I. in excellent preservation.—The
basement of the Cenotaph to the Memory of the late Prin-
cess Charlotte, erecting in St. George's Chapel, having been
completed, the greatest activity is displayed to submit it
speedily to public inspection. The principal figures of the
group have been sent from London, and but a short time
will now elapse before this beautiful tribute to the Virtues
of the lamented Princess will be open to public view.—The
favourable change that has, within these few days, 'taken
place in the weather, has caused the greatest activity among
the agricultural classes. Every individual that could be spared
from other employment has been engaged in harvest work, and
an immense quantity of corn has been carried since the begin-
ning of the week. We are happy to add, that the corps are
every where uncommonly fine. This morning the Duke and
Duchess of Clarence, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Prin-
cess Augusta arrived at the Castle in the Princess Augusta's
carriage. The Royal Party returned to Frogmore, and soon
after one o'clock again left Frogmore for the Egham Race
Course ; the Royal Party returned to Frogmore to dinner after
the Races, which were numerously attended with company,
from London and other parts, the weather proving extremely
favouraoe.

CHICHESTE rt, Auu. 24.--,Our town has been all life, gaity,
and bustle during the past week, the inns have all been crowd-
ed to an excess ;_ never did we on any occasion witness a more
numerous and fashionable assemblage than Goodwood Downs
presented to us on Thursday and Friday last, and the inn.
keepers of this city have reaped a good harvest. The Race Ball
and Supper at the Assembly Rooms here on Friday was nu-
merously attended, all the beauty, rank, and fashion of our
town and neighbourhood were present.
Anutioui., Atm. 24.—Tbis day the Duke of' Norfolk pre-
sents the Mayor and Corporation of this ancient Borough with
one of his finest bucks, which, together with every delicacy the
season can possibly afford, will be served up in the landlord's
best style, to a numerous party of friends, at the Norfolk Arms.
—The Duke is about to erect a handsome Town Hall and
Market Place, which will be a wonderful acquisition to the
town, and of great public benefit. The present Town Hall is
a very ancient structure, quite in " a tumble-clownish kind of
a condition," and with a very narrow approach to it, which
renders it particularly inconvenient.

Mr. Greenwood entertained the Dowager-Duchess of Rut-
land and a select party at dinner yesterday, at his villa, Old
Brompton.

The Meeting of the three Choirs of Worcester, Herefol,

SPORTING INTELLIGtNCE.

EGIIAM RACES, WEDNESDAY, Atm 25.

The company to-day was equally respectable and more nu-
merous than yesterday, and the sport better. The Course was
again honoured by the presence of Ills Royal Highness the
Duke of Clarence, Countess Ilarcourt, Countess Powlett, &c.;
Her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta accompanied her
Royal Brother. As on yesterday, the excellent manner in
which the course was kept prevented accidents, and the endea-
vours of the light-fingered gentry were paralysed by the activity
of the Police. The following is an accurate account of the re-
sults of each race :
The Ordinary Stakes of 5 soya. each, with 10 added from the
Fund ; three-yr-olds, 7st. ; four, Bst. 41b.; five, Bst. 131 b.;
six, 9st. 31b. ; and aged, 9st. 61b. Mares and geldings al.
lowed 31b. A winner in 1824 to carry as for the Egham Stakes.

Both heats were admirably contested. Vignette was the fa-
vourite at starting ; and any odds on her after the first heat.
The Magna Charta Stakes of 15 EON'S. each, with 30 sous. added
from the Fsnil, for three and four-year olds; 3-years, 7st.

Mr. Alfred's b. f. Sister to Sir Hildebrand, 3 yrs 0 2 dr
Mr. Coekburn's gr. f. Agnes, 5 yrs . dr
The first heat every inch of the ground was keenly disputed,
and both horses came in so close the Judge pronounced it a dead
heat. The second heat afforded some good sport ; but Blun-
der, rode by Dockery, by very great exertions, won by two
lengths, and walked over the third heat.
Great sport is expected to-morrow, as the following horses
arc entered for the Sunning-hill Stakes (handicap) of fire sove-
reigns each : 31r. Gould's ch. c. by Soothsayer, Mr. Rams-
bottom's Cephalus, Mr. Pearce's Shepherd, Mr. Scaith's Blun-

SHOOTING.
The grouse shooters have been pretty successful on the
Breiddyn and Berwyn Chain of II ills, in Wales. The birds are
uncommonly fleshy, and there is no apparent scarcity of them.
Partridges are in great abundance, and very strong on the wing.

PUTNEY AND ROEHAMPTON REGATTA.
Yesterday a grand display of nautical skill took place on the
River Thames, when a new wherryand other prizes were given
by the Ladies and Gentlemen of Putney and Roehampton.
The conditions of the wager were,
that three heats should de-
cide the contest. The first heat was between Win. Robinson,
red ; Jt hn Fisher, blue; Thomas fludaon, pink; Rich. Cobb-
yellow.—Fisher was a man much advanced in years, and
lie took the place of Win. Maddocks, who had decllped on ate-
count of indisposition. This heat was warmly contested by
the competitors ; But Robinson, who was the first at starting,
preserved his distance, and came in winner of the first heat.
According to the conditions of the race, he was allowed to lay
by until the third or grand heat, and the other three were
to row m •tho•Juicond seat. Between three and four o'clock
these thfile toed Ivere nuashallotl .bofore Putney-bridge, and,
on the!'g,,‘'„hei,og giien, PiiiherAildsotb and Cobb, started
to coi,L.T`,` for tile; hesie."' By the conditions of the
match "1,011341W0 wianin* VIM in the' second heat would,
with Robinson, the first in the first heat, be entitled to con-
tend in dip. third heat, and for the prize. Fisher, Hudson,
and 0°":, thurefore, exerted Themselves to the utmost, and it
may fairly be said, that had they been contending for the boat
their strength could not have been exerted to greater advan-
tage. The distance the men in the two heats bad to row was
from a boat moored off below the powder house, round a boat
moored off Barn Elms, up the Seuth shore, and returning,
to pass round the boat they started from, oil Putncy.bridge.
Throughout the distance the men exerted themselves to the
utmost, and well deserved the palm of victory which the win-
ning Tan would obtain.—The second beat was at length de-
cided in favour of Cobb and Fisher, and Hudson was, there-
fore, thrown out of the snatch altogether. At six o'clock pre-
parations were made for the third, or grand heat. The
men were ,to row from Putney-bridge round the bout below
the Powder house, and up round the boat at Barn Elms
down to the prize wherry moored off D'Aranda's Green:
Much interest was excited by this trial of strength and skill
The men were experienced, and their friends assembled
in numerous parties ; a band of music was also on the
river, and enlivened the company with melodious sounds--.
, Soon after six o'clock the pistol was fired, and away went
the men in gallant style. Cobb took the lead, but he was
hard pressed by Fisher, and Robinson, who was the favourite,
endeavoured to make a head of both. Cobb still went on, and
seemed to defy his opponents to outstrip him. lie came round
the boat below the Powder-house, and also round the boat at
Burn Elms, without their overtaking him. Then it was that
the contest between Fisher and Robinson became strenuous.
Fisher was, however, fouled, but contrived to extricate him-
self, while Cobb and Robinson passed a-head, and Fisher was
afterwards unable to regain the advantage he hail lost. When
near to Arancia‘e Green some fouling took place between Ro-
binson and a boat, in which it is said were the Mana-
gers of the Regatta, but steered by Cobb's brother. That,
however, stopped his course, and Cobb gained ground ; he
in a short time arrived at the prize wherry, but such was his
desire of winning, that he shot past it, and was unable to
stop his boat to jump on board. His friends came round him,
and placed hint on board the boat, and then a general disbar.
hence commenced. Mr. Sullivan, the boat-builder, of
bank, loudly contended that it was " a foul," while Cobb's
friends, on the other hand, said all was fair. Sullivan jumped
into a boat rowed by .1 stout men, and followed Cobb, who was
accompanied by his son and several friends, in the prize wherry,
Sullivan insisted lie would go on board, and young Cobb threat-
' ened him with violence. Sullivan's party still followed the boat,
anti at length Sullivan succeeded in getting alongside. Ile then
claimed his right to the boat, on account of its not being; paid
for, and next said he was directed by the Managers to seize
it, as there was " a foul." Young Cobh and his friends, how-
ever, would not suffer the boat to be taken-possession of, but
exclaimed that it was fairly won. Sullivan was not intimi-
dated, but attempted to board, and was beat off. The contest
seemed now to wear a more serious aspect, as the persons in
Cobb's boat attempted to sink Sullivan.!a Several of them

and after undergoing a milling, he, in a pitiless plight,

boat in triumph. It was said, however,
that the managers of the Regatta, not quite satisfied
with the disposition of the prize, declared that the race should
again take place, and the boat, it was rumoured, was taken from
Cobb, and deposited in the builder's hands. Some village sports
concluded the amusements of the day ; a beautiful chemise was
exhibited on a high pole, but no fair damsels offered to contend
for it. Another pole was erected, and having been well greased,
a leg of mutton was fastened, hung at the top, as a reward for
I the adventurous youth, whose agility might enable him to reach
I it.

Mr. FRASER, of bovat, having betted that he would kill
50 brace of grouse on the 12th inst., exceeded his bet by seven
brace, having killed 57 brace, on his lands in Stmtherrick.—
The Right ion. Lord Kennedy, and Jas. Cruickshank, Esq.,
of Langley-park, on Saturday the 7th. instant, played 6 golf
matches, of 7 holes each, on St. Andrew's Links. The latter
received considerable odds from his Lordship, and five out of
the six matches. His Lordship was more successful in a shoot-
ing bet which he took last week, that he would kill 10 brace of
grouse with ball in the zourse of one day's sport, which he ac-
complished, having brought down 20 birds in about 170 shots.

POETRY.

FAIRY SONGS.

1..
TITANIA, the Queen of the Fairies bright,
Sent me away on an errand one night,
To find out a glowworm, and take her its light.
Down to the earth in a moment d flit,
But when I was out of the reach of Queen TIT,
I never remembered her orders a bit,
But backward and forward so merrily flew,
Bathing my gossamer wings in the dew,
And looking about for some mischief to do:
A t length I spy'd (for the moon was up)
A glistering drop in an acorn cup,
And there at the bottom it shone so bright,
I took it at first for the glow-worm's light,
So I thought to catch it—imt what d'ye
There were thousands and thousands of tiny elves
Had assembled together upon the brink
Of the acorn cup, to amuse themselves.
Oh ho, thought I—l shall not suffer that,
What business have they, with their noisy chat,
To disturb all the world, for an inch around,
When the senses of mortals in sleep are bound,
And so, in the midst of their mirthful din,
I slily descended, and toppled them in ;
Then left them to flounder about as they may,
And spreading my wings flew laughing away.

There was a Fairy who made a bower,
In the chalice of a flower,
A sweeter flow'rct never grew,
rho' you hunt the garden throli
There the Fairy liv'd so gay,
hoiering in the sunny ray,
Singing half her time away,
But if she ever chanc'd to spy
An humble Bee conic buzzing by,
Then the Fairy, all so sly,
In her little den would slip,
And when the Bee began to sip
The honey, and to load his thigh,
She'd blow the light dust in his eye;
Off the blinded Bee would go,
Looking like a powder'd beau,
Humming loud and angrily,
Whilst the Fairy then stood by,
Laughing at him heartily.

annual public examination. Its publication we consider as
peculiarly seasonable at the present time; and it must be
highly gratifying to the citizens of Edinburgh to be as-
sured of the deep interest which his Lordship feels, and
which he has thus publicly expressed, for the prosperity of
one of the most ancient and valuable of our public insti-
tutions:—The Lord Register addressed the Rector after the
examination of his class. lie said he hoped he should not
be thought to arrogate too much to himself, in rising to express
his satisfaction, and that of his friend, the acting Chief Magi-
strate, in the examination which had taken place to-day. It
was highly creditable, both to the master and to the scholars, to
him who conveyed the instruction, as to those who received it ;
and he warned the young men he saw around him, not, on
leaving :the rector's class, to throw behind them all they had
there so well acquired. They might recollect the eloquent de-
scription of the first of Roman orators, who describes such par.
suits as adorning prosperity, and affording consolation in adverse
fortune; as cherishing the faculties of youth, and delighting
declining years ; in business, a recreation and amusement,
and giving a charm to the hours of retirement and of lei-
sure. The appearance of the young students to day could
be witnessed with indifrerence by none—certainly not by those,
who, like himself, had in the High School of Edinburgh been
taught the rudiments of classical learning, and who remembered
the eager endeavour, the acute anxiety, which was felt previous
to the day of examination, anxiety and eagerness, not perhaps sur-
pass:id in afterlife., when in pursuit of the more daulingobjects of
ambition and in fiuence and power. To-daybed proired that the co.
lebrity of the High School stood unimpaired and unshaken ; that
its character had suffered no diminution, and chewed no symp.
tonic of decay. He hailed this proof with more peculiar plea-
sure as being the decided friend of old establishments, under
whichl his country had flourished so well and so long. To all
it must be obvious, that the increase of our city made a new
situation for the high School indispensably necessary • and he
was happy to state, that having lately met the Chief Magi.
strare in London, who had received, from the liberal views of
his Brother Magistrates, ample powers for treating with Go.
vernment for a more convenient situation, he was happy to ex •
press his persuasion that this application would prove success,
tul, and that soon we should see arise from the parent's mites
another and more commodious structure, better adapted to
public convenience, and adding too in architectural beauty to
to those public works which an eminently distinguish and adorn
our romantic metropolis.—(Edinburgh Courarst, Aug. 31.)

DREA DFUL A CCIURNT.—A Coroner's Inquest
was held this morning at 11 o'clock, before C.
JEmstrrr, Esq. at the Tap, opposite Vauxhall
Gardens, on the body of a man unknown, or sup-
posed to be John Horton, formerly a soldier in
the 10th Hussars, and recently returned from
the West Indies, who was unfortunately killed
on Monday last, by being thrown from a horse
near Vauxhall Walk. It appeared that the
deceased with another person were exercising
horses in Kennington-lane, when he suddenly
struck the animal with his heels, who instantly
started oft at full gallop. The deceased made
every endeavour to stop him but ineffectually,
at length, it seems, the horse threw him. On
examining the deceased it was found that his head
was stove in, and the skull completely fractured.
lie survived but a few minutes. The Jury, after
hearing the whole of the evidence, returned a
verdict of " Accidental Death." Deodand, one
shilling on the animal.

DARING ROBBERY.—Between the hours of I I
and 12 o'clock on Tuesday night, as the lion. Mr. Hare was
proceeding to his villa at Highgate, in a single horse-chaise,
attended by a servant-boy, he was stopped on the road some
short distance from the Archway-turnpike by two fellows
one in a smock-frock and the other in sailor's apparel, the
latter of whom, with violent imprecations, demanded the
Gentleman's money, whilst at the same time he flourished a
large gardener's knife ; as a further intimidation, his associate
remained at the horse's head, and threatened to cut the traces if
Any attempt were made at escape. Thus beset, and without a
prospect of any speedy assistance, the gentleman wasreluctantly
Forced to comply with their demands, and presented his purse,
containing three sovereigns and a quantity of silver; they then
demanded his watch, as they expected a larger booty in money,
but most fortunately Mr. flare had left it in town a day or two
previous for some repairs. Evidently disappointed, the fellows
were about to depart, when one of them suddenly turned round
and cut the reins, in order, no doubt, to delay pursuit; they
then struck off the road, and made off' rapidly in the direction of
Highgate-hill, and the servant-boy was obliged to lead the horse
the remainder of the way borne.

~JOnTICULTURALCuniosyry.—In a new pinery
at Whitby, belonging to Robert Campion, Esq.
there have been reared this season several plants
of the Santa Cruz, or New White Providence
Pine, exhibiting some remarkable peculiarities.
On their coming to maturity the crown of each of
the plants, with one exception, chewed fruit
presenting the elegant appearance of a small
pine-apple standing above the main fruit, en a
short stalk rising from the centre of its crown,
this secondary fruit being also surmounted by a
crown of its own. The suckers proceeding from
the same pine-apples terminated in crowns with-
out any vestige of the embryo fruit.—(York
Courant.)

Robert Wightman, a stamper in the General
Post-Office, who was charged with embezzling
a letter containing half a sovereign, was this day
brought before the Loan IVIAvon for final exa-
mination, and was fully committed for trial.
