YORK AUGUST MEETING.

York, Thursday Night.

The great importance attached by all the sporting classes
to the Produce Stakes attracted a very numerous as-
semblage, and if the spectators were disappointed in their
expectations of the success of the Great St. Leger
favourite, Retainer, they were not a little gratified by the
award of the race in favour of an old and very honourable
sportsman, Mr. Watt, who for many years was one of the
most zealous and liberal patrons of the turf in this part of
the kingdom. This unexpected termination of the race
alluded to will have a serious influence on the betting for
the St. Leger. We subjoin particulars.

Retainer's running with Fang led his friends and the
public generally into the belief that this was a very good
thing, the more so as Conrad, who was to be dreaded,
had fallen amiss ; accordingly they laid 2 to 1 and 5 to 2
on him, 4 to 1 agst Lady Barbara, and 6 to 1 agst the
winner, who happens to be own sister to Memnon, winner
of the St. Leger in 1825, and who is engaged in the Sr.
Leger to come off next September. Some of the books
will be strangely disordered by this " untoward" result.
At starting Lady Barbara made play, followed by Retainer
at a very so-so pace round the corner, where her Lady-
ship dropped a curtsy and retired. Retainer took up the
running, and was the foremost horse to the stand, where
Nicotris went up, and, after a short struggle, won cleverly
by a length, cleverly ridden by Nicholson ; Retainer by
Nelson, and Lady Barbara by Scott.

GRAND REGATTA AT RICHMOND.

MR. KEAN'S PRIZE WHERRY.

Yesterday was appointed for the contest between 16 wa-
termen for the ninth annual prize-wherry, given by Edmund
Kean, Esq., and Richmond never boasted of a more fa-
shionable and numerous assemblage of spectators. The
day was exceeding auspicious, and the steamers, crowded
with company, and a numerous flotilla of cutters, wherries,
&e. arrived at Richmond at an early hour; which, com-
bined with the gay and motley assemblage on the banks
of the river, rendered the scene one peculiarly picturesque
and animating. About two o'clock, Mr. Kean, and a
number of his theatrical friends from London, assembled
at the Castle Tavern. The celebrated tragedian looked
exceedingly well, but appeared to be somewhat troubled
with his old acquaintance the gout in one of his legs. He
was greeted with cheers on taking his station in the start-
ing galley. Mr. Loe, his Secretary, accompanied
him. In another boat were seated the aunt of Mr.
Kean, and several of his friends, among whom
we noticed Messrs. Cooper, Bedford, Stansbury,
Hughes, &c. The prize•boat, built by Chillingwortb,
of Vauxhall-bridge, was rowed about; and her splendid
appearance excited muh admiration. The linings were
p iinted vermilion ; and under all the rullocks were rosettes
in gold. The inscription on the backboard was as follows :
" This ninth annual prize-wherry given by Edmund Kean,
El. Friday, Aug. 10, 1832. The Richmond of Richmond."
The conditions of the match were, that the men should
row two pair of sculls in each boat, four boats starting for
the first heat, and a similar number for the second, and
the two first boats in each cf these heats to be entitled to'
contend in the third or grand heat for the wherry.
The contest was under the able superintendence of Mr.
White, of the Adelphi ; and about half-past two o'clock
the following men were placed from buoys above Rich-
mond-bridge, to row down round a boat moored near Lord
Cassillis's mansion, Isleworth, return up the Richmond
shore, round a boat stationed off the Duke of Buccleucles,
through Richmond-bridge, to the stairs at the Castle Tavern,
for the first heat, viz.—

Edward Rednap. Richmond., Scarlet.
Thomas Neale
Henry Hamerton Twickenham........ Purple.
George Jackson.
George Rednap Twickenham i White.
Richard Messam Richmond
William Bell Ditto
Edward Brow,n Ditto 1 Light Blue

The start was good, and, in coming down, the contest
exceedingly interesting ; light Blue was on the Middlesex
side, White in the middle, Purple, stem and stem with
them, and Scarlet close in the wake of White. Off the
Castle-stairs Purple were obliged to unship their starboard
sculls to clear a barge, which sent them slightly in the
rear, hut they contrived to regain their station shortly, and
led the way up in good style, Light Blue and White play-
ing " follow my leader" very closely. Scarlet were scarcely
within hail of their opponents. The man aft bad strength,
but did not appear to know how to use it, and both men
sat their boat unsteadily. We would advise them, when
engaged in a match, to lay out at their work more, and
not let their arms do all the labour. No change took
place in the position of the competitors the remaining dis-
tance, and Purple and Light Blue were consequently de-
clared the victors of the heat. In order that time might
be allowed for dinner between the second and third heats,
the remaining four boats were started for the second heat
as soon as possible after the termination of the first.
The following took their stations to row the same dis-
tance, viz.,

William Jackson Richmond
IYellow.
Pink.
George Borley Ditto
Edward Thomas
James Hammerton
George Clark Twickenham ......1
iC
Joseph Rednap Twickenham
William Wheeler Richmond
Thomas Smith lsleworth I Stripe.

On the signal for starting being given, Pink went in
advance, and, in passing under the bridge, was nearly a
length a-head of Green, with Yellow pressing the latter
closely, and Stripe making all way down the MiddleseX
side with good expectations. Yellow soon went by Green,
and in coming round the point on their way up, the
" Yellow boys" nearly touched the quarter of Pink. Stripe
came up third, several lengths astern, and Green seine
distance in the rear of Stripe. At the conclusion of the
he it, Pink was well a-head of Yellow. The others we
in vain looked for. Nearly two hours elapsed before the
commencement of the grand heat, and in the interval MG
Kean and his friends dined in the long room at the east
end of the Castle Tavern Promenade. Purple, Light
Blue, Pink, and Yellow as the first and second boats is
the two first heats, were stationed to row the third heat.
At starting Light Blue had the advantage, and showed
first through the bridge, with Purple close upon their
starboard quarter, Pink and Yellow following in a close
line, with the starting cutter immediately in the rear, the
whole having an interesting effect. A severe struggle en-
sued the entire way down to Lord Cassillis's, and notwith-
standing Light Blue kept the lead, Purple scientifically
doubled them in rounding the distance boat, and made for
the Duchess of Buccleuch's in advance of the squadron.
Purple maintained the lead throughout, and most gallantly
won one of the most superior-finished prize-wherries that
we ever witnessed rowed for. Light Blue camein second,
Pink third, and Yellow fourth. This heat was concluded
amidst considerable tumult, which arose in consequence of
a Richmond waterman acting in a ruffian-like manner
towards a young gentleman. It appeared that the latter,
while rowing, fouled the waterman's wherry, and in bib
endeavours to clear himself from the crowd of boatet
splashed some of the females forming the waterwarl'.
party. Notwithstanding this was evidently purely acct'
dental, the waterman most violently abused the unintete-
tional offender, and ultimately jumped into his boat in $
threatening attitude. The cries of " Shame" caused hi°,
however, not to put his menaces into execution ; but be
endeavoured to tow the young gentleman's boat on shore.
Several gentlemen immediately left the Diana steamer to
protect the victim of the waterman's rage. The scene
that ensued baffles description. Those on shore were
equally anxious to vent their resentment against the
waterman ; and, on his stepping out of his boat, they
seized him, with the intention of ducking him, but his
wife so firmly clung to him, that it was impossible to
sever them ; and in endeavouring to do so, between 20
and 30 persons were forced into the river. The police
interfered, and ultimately the waterman and another were
placed in " durance vile." Tranquillity having been re'
stored, the prize-wherry
was conveyed to the Richmond
ballet composed for the occasion,
called " The Tenth of August, or the Jolly Lad that Won
Theatre ; and in a new
the Wherry," Heart' Hammerton and George Jackson re-
ceived the prize. About 151. were distributed in various
touch
prizts among the other competitors. The match was es"
ceedingly well conducted thoughout, and reflected
credit upon the individual who had the management of it.
Just as the last heat had finished, Mr. Julius was rowed
up in a galley as the winner of the silver sculls.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11, 1832.

The House of Commons meets to-day to dis-
pose of these three Bills, which are at their last
stages, to wit, the Chancery Sinecures Bill,
the Stage Coach Duties Bill, and the West In-
dia Islands Relief Bill. It will then adjourn to
Wednesday, to give the Lords time to fetch up
the arrears of business, and the prorogation will
take place on Thursday.

From what fell from the Marquis of LANS-
DOWNE and the Bishop of LONDON last night,
authors and publishers may regard as certain a
material alteration, if not the total abolition, of
what was denominated by both these Peers an
unequal and onerous tax on copyright. The
tax is unfair in principle, and still more so in its
operation, for while one author may have to pay
a tax of only 101., the authors of such works
as " Pine's Horace," or " Stewart's Athens,"
for instance, may have to pay 5001. The con-
sequence of which is, that some valuable works
are suppressed altogether, or raised to such a
price as to place them within the reach of few.
This is one good effect of the contract which the
Aberdeen Professors have made, and we wish
them joy of their bargain.

The Clitheroe riots were last night brought
before the House of Commons. Mr. IRVING
in some degree vindicated his conduct on that
occasion, yet still left himself open to the charge
of having acted with extreme indiscretion in
returning to a town where his presence
was the main, indeed the only, cause
of tumult. Had he kept away after the first as-
sault, as we believe was his original intention,
all would have been well, and there would have
been no broken heads in Clitheroe ; but, we sup-
pose, he had a rage for " lionizing" even at the
expense of the limbs and lives of his fellow-
citizens. As regards his attack on Dr. BONVRING,
It was in the true Pharisaic spirit of Ultra-
Toryism. The Honourable Member congratu-
lated himself that he was neither a deist, nor an
atheist, nor a trafficker in revolutions, imply-
ing, of course, that the Doctor was all three.
This comes of a Reformer opposing an
Anti. Dr. BOWRING might have been the
most desperate infidel that ever existed, and
trafficked in revolutions till he had become as
rich as Craesus or Mr. IRVING himself; he
might have been all this, and as much more as
he pleased, provided he had never opposed the
Hon. Gentleman's pretensions to Clitheroe; but
his having done so makes all the difference ; this
is the crowning sin, this the crime of such sur-
passing magnitude, that it embraces in the wide
circumference of its iniquity, atheism, deism, and
a contraband trading in revolutions. Fortunately
Dr. BOWRING can afford to laugh at all

this vindictive absurdity. Mr. IRvING's
abuse can do him no more injury than Mr.
IRVING'S praise. In fact, we suspect he would
prefer the lion. Gentleman's censure to his
eulogium.

We find the following in the Times of this
morning The papers respecting SOMER-
VILLE s case were presented by Sir J. C. HOB-
HOUSE, at two o'clock on Friday morning, just
as the House was about to adjourn. They were
ordered to be printed on the motion of Mr.
HUME. That motion was immediately adopted,
so that there was no opportunity for Members to
get any knowledge of the contents of the papers,
as they were immediately forwarded to the prin-
ter's, in compliance with the orders of the
House. Had not this course been pursued,
they would have remained on the table, and any
Members could have had access to them to peruse
them, but not to copy them. The exact
terms of the Court of Inquiry's decision are
not known beyond the official circles, but the
result of it may be positively stated, namely,
that it censures, and severely, or rather de-
cidedly, the conduct of Major WYNDHAM to-
wards private SOMERVILLE. The result of
his MAJESTY'S opinion thereupon is, that his
MAJESTY deeply deplores that an officer of
such long standing and experience as Major
WYNDHAM, should so far have forgotten him-
-self as to behave towards private SOMERVILLE
in the way proved before the Court of inquiry,
and to have warranted the decision of the Court
upon the case ; at the same time, his MAJESTY
feels it due to justice anti to Major WYNDHAM
to state, that nothing transpired in the course of

the inquiry to affect the character and honour of
i‘lajor WYNDHAM." Presuming this state-
ment to be correct, it is one of the most
extraordinary results of a Court of Inquiry we
ever heard of. It is not merely perplexing, it is
unintelligible. By it, Major W YNDIIAM stands
both acquitted and convicted. He is guilty, yet
not guilty. He stands acquitted of having done
any thing to affect his " character and honour,"
yet convicted of having so far "forgotten himself"
(notwithstanding he was an officer of " long
standing and experience") as to call forth an ex-
pression of deep regret from his MAJESTY. In
other words, it appears that he has subjected

SOMERVILLE to a most disproportionate pun-
ishment—so disproportionate, indeed, as to
amount to an act of the grossest tyranny, yet,
nevertheless, has done nothing to affect his

" character and honour." How does Sir J

HosHousE propose to reconcile this inconsis-
tency ? It will be curious to hear his reasoning
on this point.

The clause in the Anatomy Bill, ordering the
bodies of murderers to be hung in chains,
is one of so offensive a nature that it cannot
long be put in force. We doubt much the effect
that the authors of the measure expected from its
operation—at all events it falls far short of the
former enactment, as it is well known that
dissection had been looked to by some criminals
with more dread than even death itself.
But even admitting its full effect, then there
are so many objections to it in another point of
view, that the present assizes will probably be the
first and the last of its operation. Wherever a
gibbet is erected (except on some wild unfre-
quented heath, and then it can have no effect)
the value of household property is reduced one
half. Indeed not one in ten would live in a
place where such a spectacle could be seen
from the windows, or where there might
be a risk of coming in view of it in ex-
cursions in the neighbourhood. And sup-
posing the law to be put in force for a num-
ber of years, there would hardly be a dis-
trict in England without a gibbetted murderer,
which, instead of acting as a check on the living,
tends rather to harden the wicked, and to blunt
the feelings of persons of every description. It
is well known that frequent executions diminish
the terror of death, and it is no less true that the
more frequent such exhibitions as those alluded
to should become throughout the country, their
effect on the inhabitants would be proportionally
lessened. In Italy it is no uncommon thing to
see half a score of human beings exposed about
the gates of a city, and the legs and arms of mur-
derers suspended from poles by the road side.
Still more appalling scenes are displayed at Con-
stantinople ; but the frequency of atrocious
crimes there, shows that if such examples have
any effect at all, it is an effect decidedly unfa-
vourable to humanity. The people of this
country, with a natural abhorrence of such exhi-
bitions, have not unfrequently removed them of
their own accord ; and the clause in the Bill,
making such conduct a transportable offence,
will not be sufficient to deter them from abating
what they consider not only a nuisance, but a
needless deterioration of property.

A private express was received this morning
in the City from Paris, bringing the papers of
Thursday, and the M'essager des Chambres
dated yesterday. They are principally filled with
the festivities at Compiegne, to celebrate the
nuptials of King LEOPOLD and Princess LOUISE,
which took place on the 9th inst., in presence
of King Lours PHILIPPE, the Duke of Ox•
LEANS, Mad. ADELAIDE, and a numerous as-
sembly. The happy couple were to have left
for Brussels on the 10th, where they are expected
to make their grand entry on the 12th. The
KING and his suite are expected iH Paris on
the same day. The Miguelists and Carlists
have been circulating in Paris the total defeat of
Don PEDRO from Oporto, and that he had been
obliged to re-embark the whole of his army.
This intelligence is given on the authority of
letters from Spain, and the arrival of
the Marquis of LOULE in Paris from Oporto
with despatches for the French Government.
Every intrigue is resorted to by them to discou-
rage the partisans of the QUEEN, but without
effect. The Marquis of LOULE is the brother-
in-law of Don PEDRO, consequently uncle to
Queen Donna MARIA, and as the Marchioness
(who has lately been confined) is in Paris, he
was considered the fittest person to se►►d, as he
could explain the state of affairs more fully.

The last accounts received in Paris from Oporto
are up to the 3d inst. via Bayonne. At that
time Don PEDRO was forming a strong line of
circumvallation in the environs of Oporto. The
troops were in excellent spirits, and eager to march
against the rebels, who were concentrating them-
selves at Coimbra. There had been a slight
disaffection shown in the French battalion of
Carcadores, who objected to have any other
officers than French, according to the agree-
ment entered into when they enlisted. Don
PEDRO had complied with their objection,
and the best union existed amongst them.
A notice has been sent to the remainder
of the Portuguese at Rennes, and other parts of
France, that a vessel is ready to receive them at
Brest to convey them to Oporto, where they
will be provided for by the Government of
Donna MARIA.

Paris was perfectly tranquil at the zleparture
of the express. The funds continued steady at
Wednesday's quotation. _ .

. .
Ship letters were received this morning in
the City from Oporto, but not later than the
28th ultimo.

The Lisbon mail is still due, but important
news may be expected on Monday.

The following are extracts from Brazil Papers
;o the 18th of June, inclusive :

From the Diario do Governo, from the 7th to the 18th
June inclusive. )

RIO DE JANEIRO, JUNE 8.-This number contains the
addresses of the Chamber of Senators, and of that of the
Deputies, in answer to the speech at the opening of the
Session.

Both thank the Emperor for convoking the Chamber—
congratulate themselves on the satisfactory state of the
foreign relations of the empire—express their regret at
the criminal attempts of factions i❑ the capital and some
of the provinces, and promise to examine with the greatest
attention the reports that will be laid before them by the
different Ministers.

JUNE I2.—We are requested to insert the following
declaration :

" The undersigned Charg6 d'Affaires of France thinks it
necessary to declare, that he has never proposed, either
verbally or in writing, the renewal of the Articles of the
Treaty concluded between France and Brazil on the Bth
of January, 1826, which expires this year, he has not even
received any orders or instructions from his Government
indicating the intention or desire that the said Articles
should be renewed."

By order of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
and for the iuformation of the public the following is
published :
" The undersigned Charge d'Affaires of his Majesty
the King of the French has several times had the honour
to discuss verbally with his Excellency Senor Carneiro de
Campos, Minister for Foreign Affairs of his Imperial Ma-
jesty, the question relative to the renewal of the treaties,
and in particular of what regards that which was con-
cluded between France and Brazil on the Sth of January,
1826, several stipulations of which expire next year. The
undersigned thinks it proper to recal this matter to his
Excellency's attention. Without discussing here the ad-
vantages or the inconveniencies which may ensue from the
general decision that seems to have been resolved upon, he
will again observe that, the duration of the existing treaties
not being the same, there would arise from this inequality
of duration, unless a remedy were applied, an inequality in
the treatment of the different Powers that have contracted
them, which would, doubtless, be as inconsistent with the
relation of good understanding and unity between Brazil
and those Powers, as contrary to the object which the
General Assembly and the Brazilian Government have in
view. With respect to the treaty between France and
Brazil in particular the undersigned will submit to his Ex-
cellency only one observation which appears worthy of his
attention ; it is, that the non-renewal of the treaty may
naturally give to France, in its turn, the right to revoke,
among other advantages, the very important privileges
which the cottons of Brazil enjoyed in France.
" The undersigned has the honour, &e.

" E. PONTOIS.

" Rio de Janeiro, Sept. 11, 1831."
ANSWER.

" The undersigned Member of the Council of his Ma-
jesty the Emperor, Minister, Secretary of State for Fo-
reign Affairs, being now enabled to reply to the note which
M. Ed. Pontois, Charge d'Affaires to his Majesty the
King of the French, wrote to him on the 11th of Sept.
1931, requesting the renewal of some articles of the Bth
of J inuary, 1826, which are to expire this year, has the
honour to inform M.E. Pontois, that the Imperial Govern-
ment considering that French commerce will suffer no
injury in ports of Brazil, with respect to the duties on con-
sumption, anchorage, &c. in consequence of the law of the
General Assembly, which equalizes the duties on consump-
tion, anchorage, &c., or in consequence of the law of the
General Assembly which equalizes, the duties on the im-
portation of foreign goods in the Custom-houses of the
empire, judge that the apprehended inequality will not
take place, at least in the essential part, and that therefore
there is not at present any necessity for the renewal of the
articles in question.
" As the commercial interests of the French nation will
not essentially suffer in Brazil, the Imperial Government
cannot persuade itself, nor is it to be expected from the
wisdom and generosity of the liberal French Government,
that, because the said articles are not already renewed, the
cottons of Brazil should loos the advantages which they now
enjoy in France.
" The Imperial Government is persuaded, that its re-
solution, being founded on such just reasons, cannot in any

JUNE 16 AND 18.—These two numbers contain the
sequel to the above correspondence. M. Pontois, reply•
ing, on the 4th of May, to the note of the 30th of April,
begs to observe to the Minister that he did not ask the
renewal of the articles, which he could not do, es he bad
❑o instructions to do so, nor has he since had any ; he only
called his express attention to the subject in his note of
September 11.

theihesis,
sated that he had not thought it advisable to comply with
the request made by the Charge d'Affaires of France, both
verbally and in writing, to renew the articles in question.
As this assertion may lead to inferences prejudicial to the
dignity of France, and as it is also indisputably incorrect,
he requests that it may be corrected. To this the Minister
replies on the 21st of May, that his report was already
printed when the note of the 4th was received from M.
Pontois, but, in referring to M. P's note of the 11th of
Sept., which he quotes, be thinks he was not so incorrect
in saying in his note of the 30th of April that M. P.
proposed the renewal of the said articles, and that he cer-
tainly took this to be M. P.'s meaning ; that he does
not see any thing offensive to the dignity of the French
nation, which would be inconsistent with his character,
and contrary to what he said in this respect, which the
Government of Brazil chose to show to all nations whose
friendship it is his policy to cultivate. In fine, if M. P.
is not satisfied, he offers to publish the correspondence, and
give in to the legislature the final account of his administra-
tion ; he never had any intention of deviating from the re-
gard with which all friendly nations ought to be treated.

NUREMBURG, AUG. 2.—The Carlsruhe Gazette con-
tains a financial statement, from which it appears, that
from the commencement of the financial year 1831, the
taxes are nearly 1.400,000 dollars less than they were on
the transition from a state of war to peace in 1816, and
that consequently any decline of the public prosperity and
increasing discontent cannot be attributed to the increase
of the public burdens.—Nuremburg Correspondent,
Aug. 3.
Murum, JULY 30.—The Minister for Foreign Affairs

PROGRESS OF CHOLERA IN LONDON.--,As
we anticipated last week, the rise in the atmospheric tern •
perattne was followed by some increase in the number of
cases of cholera : we are happy, however, to be able to
state that the augmentation was not very considerable, and
has again, during the last two days (Thursday and Friday)
subsided to about the measure which we mentioned last
week.--Medical Gazette.
