ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.

COWES, SUNDAY AFTERNOON.—Since the establish-
ment of the annual regatta by this celebrated club, none
of the recur►ing festivals has been of so interesting a
nature as the one to commoice to-morrow. The Virtu,
generally so full at this asaaon of the year, is now mo e
than usually so, and the veatest interest is everywhere
manifest on the aubji.ct of the cup for Friday, in which
the celebrated American yacht is entered. Some d.,tibt
is entertained regarding her starting, but if she does it is
r,euefless to say she will prove a very formidable opponent
to all who may contend with her. Three races are all
that are Set filled, but more are spoken of, though the
preliminaries are not yet reified. The following is a list
of the complete entries up to the latest moment:— _

Monday, Aug. 18.—Rer Majesty's Cup, to be sailed
for by Royal Yacht Squadron cutters, from SO and under
100 tons. Queen's Cup Course. It is settled that they

On Wednesday his Royal Highness Prince Albert's

same as on Monday, though perhaps they may go to the
Nab at starting:—Beatrice, 161 tons, Sir W. P. Carew,

stance, 218, the Marquis of Conynghana; Capricorn,

to be round the island. The following have been en-

THE HAGur, AuG. 16.—The Netherlands Go-

We understand that the Belgian Government is
quite disposed to enter into a convention with our

GENTIERE.

"During the last month your arrondissement has
been the theatre of serious disorders; each votive fête
has been marked by attempts at murder. At Oiguac
and at Labastade cries menacing death have been
uttered; at Laurac eight gendarmes, drawn
into an odious snare, wh. n assailed by upwards
o, 400 insurgents at once, who wounded them all
ly, have owed th,.ir safety to their courage.
These facts are not isolated ; they are connected with a
vast system of agitation ; the hand of the*e men shows
itself in all dlrt mums, these votive
_tiles afford them pre-
text for these weetings, at which they organize scenes
of disorder and murder. To the present I have re-
spemed y our old customs ; I could not without pain de-
bar you of your amusements, but in presence of such
events hesitation is no longer permitted. You will find
attached hereto a decree by widch such ites are inter
dieted during the months of August, September, Oc-
tober, and November, 1851. Good citizens will hail
this measure with joy--they will cull to mind that these
fetes bring desolation into numerous families, and they
will cheerfully sacrific- some pleasures for sake of the
public peace. As to the men of disorder, they are
warned ; it they persist in their proj cis they will be-
come amenable to justice , and shall be dealt with tic
cordingly

house. At that time there were two leather bags fas-
tened to his girdle, one on the right side, containing
his papers, passport, brush, comb, soap, and other
things necessary for making his toilet, and the other
109 pi- ces of gold and silver coin, consisting of piastres,
dollars, half-dollars, and other foreign money, together
with Is. 9d. in English money. Inspector IVhite de-
tained the unfortunate stranger to keep him out of
harm's way, and to preserve his money and property,
which would most probably have soon become the
prey of the loose characters in Rosemary-lane, which
has not at all improved, though its name has recently
been changed to Royal Mint-street.
Mr. YARDLEY examined the stranger's papers, and
said his passport was signed by the Marquis of Nor•
manby, our ambassador at Paris, from which place
the prisoner had only arrived three days ago. He
supposed from the appearance of the foreigner, and
the large sum of money found in his possession, that
be was a person of some consequence in his own
country.

Seatiian, a plice-constable, No. 150 H, who has
been often engaged as an interpreter between the
Court and the A*iatic seamen corning to this port,
said he questioned the prisoner, who had been in a
kind of stupor all day, and it was most probably
cau.ed by his smoking opium, of which the Turke are
very fond.
Mr. YARDLEY—IS he a Turk ?

Seaman said the prisoner was undoubtedly a Mus-
sulnaan, and he thought he was an Egyptian Arab.
A representation of the great pyramids of Egypt was
embroidered on his sash.

Mr. YARDLEY directed Inspector White to take care
of the prisoner, and provide him with a lodging where
he would be prop:rly lonki,d after. The prisoner
would mo-t probably he ill-used or plundered if ha was
permitted to walk about the streets without a guide
or some one to look after him.

The prisoner, who is a tall, fine-looking man, about
50 years of age, tnlde another salaam to the InAgis-
trate, and retired with a polieetthm, who W4B directed
to keep him in the station-h .use until Lapector
White could find a lodging for him.

MARKET IN EWS -(THIS DAY•)

-----
CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
The supply of English Wht at here to•day was small'
and chiefly competed of Monday's unsold sample'. The
weatbt r being very favourable for harvest work, and the
attendance of buyers hm.ted, the demand for all kinds 0
Wheat of home produce was dull in the extreme, at
almost nominal currencies. From abroad, upwards of
5,000 quarters of Wheat have come to hand. Selected
samples of both red and white sold at barely previous
rates. In other kinds, scarcely a transaction took pleoe.
Barley met a very dull inquiry, but importers were not
sellers on lower t.-rms. The Malt trade ruled heavy' at
late figures. The arrivals of Foreign Oats being good--
20 310 quarters—the Oat trade was dull, at Monday's
prices. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were
offering on lower terms. Very favourable accounts haw)
reached us respecting the genera appearance of the
potato crop.

her. During the night she slept for five hours.
She appeared to be possessed of great physical strength,
and strong nerve, and on more than one occasion said
she did not fear death She admitted that she was a
"most grievous sinner," and frequently sat up in her bed
praying that God would forgive her. Tne anticipated
nature of her death appeared to prey much upon her
mind, but she said, " I believe that hereafter I shall
be happy." On speaking of those whom she would
leave behind, she said she entertained no ill feeling
against any person, and that she should die in peace
with all. She would make no confession of her guilt,
although implored to do so by the chaplain. She said,
when exhorted to do so, " I admit I am a guilty
sinner, but I am not guilty of the murder of my hus
band." ai Thursday last she took a final farewell
of her family—two sons and two daughters.
The chaplain had most kindly provided Bibles and
Testaments, in which he had wri ten, at the re-
quest of the culprit, " The dying gift of my
dear mother." To each of her children she
presented a volume on their leaving her. In
speaking of the former portion of her life, she said she
had once made up her mind to drown herself, and was
seated by the side of a pond wish a determination to
throw herself in; she said she rose for that purpose,
but as she was just in the act of jumping in some
thing apparently pulled her back, and she was thus
prevented destroying herself. On Saturday last, the
day first intended for her execution, the chaplain en-
deavoured to impress upon her the necessity of her
making an avowal of her guilt, pointing out to her
that had it not been for some difficulty which had
presented itself in making the arrangements for her
execution, she would have then passed into eternity ;
she replied, " I feel much comfort in your admnis-
tration, Sir ; lam not afraid to die. I truly repent
of all my sibs which I can bring to my mind, as well
as those I do not recollect. lam innocent of the mur-
der of my husband."
After the body had been hinging the usual time, it
was cut down and placed in a coffin. the vast crowd
of persons who had assembled to witness the execu•
tion conducted themselves in a becoming manner. It
is six year, since the last execution took place here.

GENERAL ELECTION.
THE MEN OF THE PEOPLE.
Few are prepared for a general election, and yet the on dit is, that
the present Parliament is not to meet again, consequently a few who
think they are alone n the secret, are quietly, bu . very earnestly,
canvassing their constituents, in a friendly way, not as it they
were in any alarm about their seats, but simply exhibiting an
officious attention, as if they were desirous of serving all the people
they call upon in the metropolis—one name absorbs all the interest
—not exactly for a seat in Parliament, because their ambition has
alwa s pointed to another office. But if the whole population of
the metropolis were polled to-morrow, Messrs E. MOSES and gON
would be voted the cneapest, the best, the most extensive Clothiers,
and the greatest benefactors in the kingdom to all classes. In the
fled they choose to o"cupy, they were reformers. Through their
exertions, and the employment of their talent and capital, the price
of Clothing, which was a complete bar to the well dressing of all
persons of limited income, was reduced one-half, which
brought it within the means of even the humble classes, who can
now dress respectably out of busieess, and creditably in it ;
for they not only procure things (heap, but durable;
in fact, Messrs. E. Moses and Son have so completely. laid them-
selves out with their immense staff of the first designers, fitters,
cutters, and workmen in Europe, for the supply of rich and poor,
exalted and humble, fashionable and plain, that they are not men
for a class, but men of the people. By employing a capital that
would buy up the productions of half the factories, they command
the markets, and the public have the benefit of their cheap pur-
chases, for their profit has always been uniformly small, because
they have preferred to sell a hundred suits to any body else's one,
and gain Uy numbers what others unfairly gain by exorbitant profits.
Messrs. E. Moses and Son have every garmen. made of the best
material of the kind—they mark every article with their unvarying
price, in figures which everybody can understand; and if any one
should feel .dissatisfied after purchasing, they receive back the
article and return the money. Their noble Mart, at the corner of
Aldgate and the Minorles, is thrown open to the public, whether
purchasers or not, and they invite the visitors in London to inspect
the first stock in the world. Nor is their West-end branch less at-
tractive, in New Oxford-street, 'corner of Hart-street. At both
these places there is such an assortment of Sportsmen's Dresses,
froni head to f ,ot, as was never seen elsewhere, comdrising every
article desirable for the river and the field, light, strong, and
ather-proof. •

GERMAN Y.

The German journals state that the settlement of
accounts in the Grrmanic Diet has given rise to great
difficulties. The States which sent contingents to
Holatrin and Baden demand indemnities, on the
ground that the intervention interesttd all the Con-
federation. Darmstadt remses to pay any sum until
an indemnity •ha►l be paid for her -troops employed
in Baden. Prussia demands several millions from
B-olen for her intervention in the Grand Duchy, but
ILdt-n refuses to pay.

A letter from Vieona, of the 13th, states that an
iigent of the Danish Government had arrived in that
city with dispatches, demanding the withdrawal of
the Austrian troops from Holstein.

mysterious disappearance in t, ansitu of newspapers

occurrence, sod reflects anything but credit on official
vigilance.

CLERKENWELL.

Simon Hill, a middle aged man, was put at the bar
before Mr. Tyrwh tt, for final examination, on the
charge of having attempted to murder Mrs. Elizabeth
Lowe, a married woman residing at No 1, Three
Kings'-court, White Cross. street.
The prosecutrix gave her evidence with extreme
difficulty, and was evidently suffering much pain.
She was seated while deposing to the prisoner's bru-
tality. Having been sworn, she stated that on Sa•
turday evening last, about 6 o'clock, she was in her
apartm-nt on the first floor, when the prisoner
entered abruptly, and, addressing her, said, "So you
are here." She was ironing at the time. She re-
plied, " I am, but my husband is not." He then
struck her a violent blow on the side of the head,
seized her by the hair, and dragged her headforemost
down stairs. She struggled with him, and endeavoured
to escape into the room of a neighbour. He, how-
ever, struck her down, and while prostrate be beat
and kicked her, and finally jumped upon and broke
several of her ribs.

By Mr. TYRWHITT—The prisoner commenced
beating her with a brass candlestick, which was
broken with the violence of the blows. His ill-
treatment continued until she was deprived of reason.
Her cries of " Murder," she believed, brought several
persons to her aid, and through them she considered
her life was saved. On recovering her senses she
found herself under medical treatment in St. Bartho-
lomew's Hospital. Tne only reason she could give
for the brutal attack was a disputed debt (5s 6d )
between her husband and the accused, and which she
refused to pay when he entered her apartment.
Mrs. Grace Roper, a lodger in the same house, said
she was attracted to the prisoner and prosecutrix by
the cries of the latter, whom he jumped on at least a
rloz-n times before she could cauae him to be secured.
The complainant was insensible, and bleeding pro-
tusely from several parts of her body.
Several witnesses having given corroborating
evidence,

Mr. FTRWIIITT asked the prisoner if he wished to
say anything, telling him that it was his duty to
commit him for trial on the serious charge ? He
said that as that was the case he should reserve his
defence.

He was then sent for trial. He is a most deter-
mined-looking ruffian, and made a terrible resist-
ance, striking with a poker at the officers who took
him, vowing he would not be taken alive. A blow
on the head with a truncheon at length prevented him
doing more injury.

GERMAN Y.

The German journals state that the settlement of
accounts in the Germanic Diet has given rise to great
difficulties. The States which sent contingents to
Holstein and Baden demand indemnities, on the
ground that the intervention interested all the Con-
federation. Darmstadt refuses to pay any sum until
an indemnity shall be paid for her troops employed
in Baden. Prussia demands several millions from
Baden for her intervention in the Grand Duchy, but
Baden refuses to pay.
A letter from Vienna, of the 13th, states that an
