RAMSGATE, OCT. 21.

The wind has changed, and the rough weather
has subsided, so mach so, that many of the outward-
bound vessels in the Downs have got under weigh,
and are now proceeding on their voyages. This
place is quite gay to•day, in consequence of its being
so fine, and every body who can crawl being on the
pier to witness a salute of 21 guns from Sir W.
Curtis's yacht, in commemoration of the birth of a
Baronet in embryo—i. e. an heir to his eldest son.
A supper was last night given on the occasion to
all the harbour men on board the yacht, and to-day
his flagstaff is embellished by a display of all the flags
he can muter. The Baronet himself is so much
liked here that every one seems to rejoice at the
event. The wonder here is how a man with
eighteen children living can calculate on making an
heir of a grandson, at a period when property and
titles are threatened with extermination. There
have been several meetings of the principal in-
habitants of this place, to endeavour to esta-
blish a steam-boat to run between Ramsgate
and Calais, and more than 4,0001. was sub-
scribed instanter. There can be no doubt of its
success, as there are steamers here daily from
the metropolis, which is not the case at Dover, and
this mode of travelling has now become so general
that it will be preferred to the coaches. Besides
being a great accommodation and convenience to
visiters here, the great advantages which this har-
bour possesses over Dover must render its success
certain. This was fully proved in the late gales, as
within the last week no less than four steamers from
Calais and Boulogne, bound to Dover, came in here
at low water, not being able to get into Dover; and
even yesterday an open boat to Diver, with the
French mail, came in here after trying for Dover.
Two Dutch ships, one from Bitavia and the other
from Surinam, have taken shelter and remained
here for the last week. They are now preparing
to go out. At one period within the last 10 days,
there were nearly 150 French fishing-boats sheltered
in the harbour. They came over in crowds for the
herrings which appear first on our coast. Between
Margate and Ramsgate the sea was covered with
their boats, and although our fishermen would not
be allowed the same privilege on the French coast,
they were permitted to remain unmolested, and
yesterday a great number sailed with full cargoes,
to the great detriment of our hardy tars. Mr,
Gibson's splendid yacht the Therese, of 120 tons,
set sail this day from hence for London, and for
some miles ran a race with the City of London
steamer, which steamed out of the harbour at the
same time with a huge cargo of visiters of both
sexes. There are two or three fine vessels from the
Mediterranean, laden with fruit, cruising off the
mouth of the harbour under• the quarantine flag.
The late Sir H. Goodericke's yacht, which he be-
queathed to Mr. Holyoake, was off the mouth of
the harbour yesterday. She is small, but a very
pretty vessel.
