COWES REGATTA, AUG. 11.

This morning the gaiety of Cowes commenced by a pri-,
rate match for 100 guineas between the Dream, 66 tons,
iohYI Campbell, Esq., and the Elizabeth, 65 tons, John
Moore, kap The vessels started west, and sailed round
the island. At Lynyington the Elizabeth was two miles
a-head, and run agroudd; and, before she could be got off,
the Drearn was the same distance before her. On making
Ryde, the Elizabeth was again a-field about three-quarters
of a mile, when, by a sudden squall, she carried away her
bowsprit, and the Dream of course won ernily. It cannot
be called "a heat of sailing, the match being won by us-
forferd circumstances. The squall that blew was accom-
panied by a tremendous fall of rain, which lasted about
half an ham'.

There was aied a Review of Pilot-boats by the Sub-Coin-
missioners of Pilotage it had a ♦ery delightful appearance,
the vessels being above 40 in 'umber, and all distinguished
by three party-coloured flags.
At es 12.--The Grand Match for the King's Cup took
place to-day. Eleven vessels were entered, bat only eight
started. At nine o'clock the signal-gun for preparation
fired, and the eight fallowing were thus placed =
Hebe, 70 tons, A., Corbett, ..... 1 ,
Therese, 121 tone, Earl of Chesterfield
Harriet, 67 tons,• Earl of 8e1fa5t......... :•....: 3
Menai, 175 tons, T. A. Smith, Esq., 4
Miranda, 147 tons, James Maxe, Esq. - 6
Owen Glendawer, 113 tons, F. West,Esq. M. P. 6
Lulworth, 127 tons, Jos. Weld, Esq
Louisa, 139 tons, Earl of Belfast . . 8

They proceeded to the eastward, leaving No-roan's-land
buoy on the starboard hand, round Nab-light vessel, leav-
ing it on their starboard hand, and returning to the west-
ward, leaving No-man's-land buoy on their larboard hand,
passing Cowes, and proceeding on round a vessel anchored
off Yarmouth, with a Dutch flag flying, which they left
on their starboard hand, and returned back to the goal of
decision, the starting vessel, between which and Cowes
Castle the yachts were to pass, keeping the starting vessel on
their larboard hand. Stewards—The Right lion. the
Earl of Ilchester and the Right Hon. Viscount Deerhurst.
The signal-gun fired precisely at ten o'clock, when the
vessels started. The llebe rounded first, and had the best
start. The Menai was soon the favourite, and was a-head,
wind blowing west, their course easterly. About one they
returned past Cowes, the Menai about a mile a-head,
Louisa second, and Lulworth third, each vessel being about
one mile a-head of the other. The Miranda had lost her
top-mast when a few miles from Cowes. The bienai,
through carrying so much sail, lost her main-halliard. At
a quarter past three the Menai and Lulworth made close
for the starting vessel, and ran close and within a boat's
length of one another, the most beautiful race that has ever
been witnessed ; as the sporting men would say, neck and
neck. The Menai the favourite ; when a light wind fa-
voured the Lulworth, she being to windward, which gave
her the advantage of about half a length, when the gun was
fired, declaring her the victor, and entitled to his Majesty's
Cup. The Louisa was third, Miranda fourth, Therese (with
a jury-top-mast) fifth. The rest of the vessels had not
come in at four o'clock (post time.) Cowes has never been
so full this season. The evening was to be finished by a
splendid exhibition of fire-works from the shore and yachts
in the harbour. The weather has at last assumed a fine
appearance.

It is said that the Duke of WELLINGTON
has declined filling up the vacant Welch Judgship himself,
but has transferred the nomination to the Loan CHAW.-
clrAon, alleging, that though the patronage belongs to
Lim, as First Lord of the Treasury, yet that his profes-
sional habits having been of another kind, he deems him-
self unqualified to make the selection. This report we
give as we have received it, not at all vouching for its ac-
curacy.—Morning Paper.

TLALPUXAIIUA MINING ASSOCIATION.
—A special general meeting of Proprietors of this Com-
pany was held yesterday (Mr. LLOYD in the Chair), at
which a motion for the conditional close of the works in
October was carried. Another resolution, empowering
the Directors to dispose of the property for the benefit of
the Company, and reserving to the Proprietors an interest
in any future Company, proportionate to their present
rights, was proposed, and after some opposition adopted._
Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting
separated.

IMPROVEMENT OF PROPERTY.--The ge-
neral improvement in the valve of property in almost
every part of England, affords a cheering picture of the
prosperity of the country. Within the last three months
Mr. GECBGE ROBINS has sold estates to the amount of
nearly 700,0001., and in many instances the purchasers
have been contented to realise about three per cent. upon
their capital. This celebrated auctioneer has received di-
rections to dispose of several extensive domains during the
autumn, and from the overtures that have been made to
him, and the contracts recently effected, we understand he
is of opinion that the improvement still continues to in-
crease. It has no where been more observable than in
Cheltenham, where Mr. R. disposed of some excellent
property, a few days ago, at a price far exceeding the
most sanguine expectations of the vendor.—Clieltenham
Chronicle.

EXTRAORDINARY CRIMINAL.---On the
trial of HENRY MARSHALL, December 4th, 1725, for
murder and deer-stealing, a very remarkable circumstance
took place. Sentence of death had no sooner been pro-
nounced on this offender, than he was immediately deprived
of the use of his tongue, nor did he recover
vegeh till a
few hours preceding Ws execution.--Mir"'
