ROYAL EktertslON.

COMER, AUG. 24.—The PRINCE RCGNET gives
his farewell dinner to a large party this day, and
to-morrow quits Cotves for the season.
PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 24.—The I'RINCE REGENT
is still afloat in the neighbourhood of Cowes.—
On Sunday last his Royal Highness dincd at Mr.
Drummond's, on the southern side of the South-
ampton River. He has since been crnizing daily
between the Medina and St. Helen's. An inte-
resting occurrence took place yesterday, which
does infinite credit to the feelings of his Royal
Highness. A little Midshipman of the Hyperion,
late flag ship of the flotilla, went on board the
yacht, for the purpose of presenting to the Prince
Regent a small Treatise, that had been dedicated
by permission, to his much lamented Daughter.—
This manual, it seems, had been expressly written
by a relative of the young Gentleman's, for his
jovenile instruction it was graciously accedted
by his Royal Highness on the quarter-deck. who,
in the presence of the Ladies and Gentlemen by
whom he was surrounded, sh,,ok the Ville sailor
by the hand in tht. kindest and most condescend-
ing manner. Attet asking him some questions
adap;e!i to his years, the'lliince Regent consign-
ed him to tile Attentions of Sir Edmond Nagle.—
The gallant Admiral, by command of his Royal
Highness, conducted him to the State-canin,
where be was regaled with all sorts of refresh-
ments. 11 any thing conkd h-i4;liten the well-
known suavity of the Prince Regent, it would
be the eat: and affability with which his Royal
1-Ugliness received this youthful Officer, thins
removing from his mind all sensation of em-
barrassoient. The little fellow went through the
ceremony of so distinguished an introduction with
a freedom from contusion, which bespoke his
having been accustomed to the best society, and
which was scarcely to be expected from his ten-
derness of years. The name of the young Gen-
tleman, who appears to be about 13 or 14, is said
to be Nelson Fairinan. Ile is a son, we under-
stand, of Captain Pairman, the author of several
well-known political and popular works, who has
been cruising in the squadron. This same little
boy was taken much notice of last year, when on
hoard the Tiber, by the Prince and Princess of
Hombourgh, the Bishop of Salisbury and his fa-
mily, who made some aquatic trips in that ship.
He is a protege, it is added, of the Prince Leopold
and the Duke of Sussex, and bids fair to do ho-
nour to the service which he has selected as a pro-
fession.—The Prince Regent is expected to land
here to-morrow, on his way to London, where he
is engaged to dinner. A garrison order has been
issued to man the yards on his (pitting the yacht,
and to fire an interchange of salutes on his reach-
ing the shore. His Royal highness has been on
bbard nearly three weeks, without once sleeping
out of theyucht, and has not even dined on shore
more than half a dozen times during the whole
time.

BOXING ON NIOULSEY

The tight between Bushell, a promising slip, lately imported
from Ireland, and Cy. Davis, a Bristol boy, took place
yesterday, at Monkey Hurst, when, after sixteen rounds,
victory declared in favour of Davis.
RE. RKS.-If any can be made, a few words will suffice.—
Boshell is a game, a very game man, and his courage was
the admiration of the ring; but as a prize-tighter he has no
pretensions. _ _

•
SECONO FiGHT.-7n conseyuer•ce of Boone not appearing
to fight Kendrick the black, a purse of twenty-fire guineas
was made up on the ground, and Scroggins and Jack Hudson
agreed to fight for the same. Harmer and Shelton were for
the former, and Owen and Sutton for Hudson. Scroggins
rather hesitated, on accomit'of his had condition, but said,
win or lose he would have a shy for it. It was a complete
bull•dr,g ti4lit, and Scroggins was reeling from the nabbing
he had received. In the 11th and last round, he was hit after
he had fell on his knees.—" Foul, foul !"—" Fair, fair!"—
'limewas called, but Scroggins said, he had been bit unfair.
The umpire was appealed to, who decided the circumstance
as fair. Scroggins was then asked if he would fight any
more ? He said "No !"—The purse was then declared to
be the property of Hudson.

THE DUKE OF SUSSEX'S Touts.—His Royal
Highness was expected at Holkham-hall, the
hospitable seat of Mr. THOMAS Coke, yesterday,
where the Duke will sojourn a fortnight. His
Highness then proceeds to Bath, to open a Grand
Lodge of Freemasons. After a stay of about ten
days, to drink the waters, his Royal Highness
returns to town. In October he goes to 'lnn-
bridge Wells, where his Highness will probably
remain till Christmas, the air of that place agree-
ing so well with his health.

There is not the least foundation for the re-
port that Mr. ARNOLD and Miss KELLY have
purchased the Olympic Theatre.
Mr. KeAN has entered into a treaty with Mr.
}heels to perform twenty nights at Covent-gar-
' den Theatre, alter which he embarks for America.

ReFoam.—The late HORN TOOKE, when the
doctrine of Universal Suffrage was broached in his
presence, observed in reply," I an, no admirer 01
St James's or its politics ; but 1 would rather be
govetned by twoity St. Jamcs's than by one St.
Gilteh."
