ARCHERY.

Last week the membeiioFSToit..i.eigli-Camp Archers, in
full costume, planted their targets on tlieir beautiful shooting-
ground, and set manfully to work at high twelve. The hand-
some peppering which The Gold received, was an indisputable
proof of the great improvement the Club has made in this
manly and healthy exercise. The evening, of course, ended in
a brisk attack on a cold collation, and a health to the pious
memory of the jolly old Friar of Copmanhurst ; to which, we
believe was added a cup in commemoration of
" Gay little John, and the bold Robin Hood,
And all Foresters good
Who ever drew bow
In the merry green wood."

YACHT CLUD.—The Mary' Viscount Deerhurst ; Louisa,
Earl of Craven ; Erin, .—Allan, Esq. ; Jack o'Lantern,
Smith, Esq. ; and Swallow, Duke of Norfolk, (yachts,) arrived
st Cowes on Sunday from Cherbourg. 'The remainder of the
squadron of the Royal Yacht Club sailed from Cherbourg on
Saturday from the islands of Guernsey and Jersey.

SURREY THEATRE.—The extraordinary suc-
cess of Der Frieschutz has induced the Manager
of this Theatre to bring it forward, and it is alto-
gether so well got up, as the phrase is, that it is
likely to be as attractive on the other side of the
water as it has been on this. There is no want
of magical terrors, incantations, tremendous
scenery, and all horrific accompanyments calcu-
lated to give due effect to the whole ; and, dif.
ficult as the music is, it is executed with great
correctness and effect.

The election of Freeman's Sheriff' of Norwich
took place last week, when Mr. TURNER, of the Ministerial in-
terest, was elected in op2o..ition to Alderman SPRINGFIELD,
of the contrary party.—For TURNER, 1166; SPRINGFIELD,
920.
The Hon. CAISAR RODNEY, Minister Plenipo-
tentiary from the United States to the Government of Buenos
Ayres, died in the city of Buenos Ayres on the 10th of June.
His obsequies were celebrated with extraordinary pomp.
Steam-boats of an excellent description are
about to be introduced upon the large canal of Languedoc.
EARTHQUAKE.—On the 18th August, in the
afternoon, a phenomenon, very rare in this country, was ob-
served at Harderwyick, in Guelderland. A noise, like that of
several loaded waggons running rapidly, was heard in a south-
west direction. In some houses the doors suddenly flew open,
in others the noise was so loud, that people thought the roof
was coming down. In a plantation in the town about 20 sol-
diers asleep on the grass were awakened by the subterraneous
noise, and feeling the ground tremble under them, were fright.
ened and went away. It seems, therefore, that the noise which
all the inhabitants heard was under ground, and tint there was
a shock of an earthquake.—(Brurrela, Sept. 1.)
The recent works of TriomAs LITTLE, Esq. on
Love and Beauty, Marriage and Cecisbeism, are
better calculated for home and foreign trade than
any which have ever appeared. Their light and
elegant style, with the numerous anecdotes of
real life, and illustrative plates, command such
popularity as has never hitherto been obtained.
The Memoirs of that celebrated toast, Harriett
Wilson, Lady Berwick's sister, written by her-
self, are in the press, to the consternation of the
first circles of fashion.—They are published by
STOCILDALE) 243 Opera Colonade.
