DOVER 'REGATTA.

DOVER, Ana. 27.—Our Regatta takes place to-mor-
row, and there is every appearance of a fine day and of
excellent sport. About ten yachts have arrived from
Cowes, and are in the harbour. The Falcon, Lord Yar-
borough, and others,' arrived this morning from the west-
ward, and have anchored in the Roada; and the Russian
squadron, under the command of Admiral Siniavin, is in
sight to the westward, they will probably be in this an-
chorage to-morrow, and will add much to the gaiety of
the scene. The town is already filling fast, and by to-
morrow will, no doubt, be very full indeed.

SPARRING AT THE TENNIS COURT.—Aua. 27.

Peter Crawley took' his Benefit at the Royal Tennis
Court this day, but a very thin assemblage of amateurs
took place. After several minor bouts, Seroggins set-to
with Ned Brown, who is matched to fight Solly Reuben
on the same day ns Dick Curtis and Teesdale. The Sprig
of Myrtle proved that he was in full bloom, and used his left
hand with great effect upon the bead of the man-of-war's
man. Latham and Crawford had a turn, and Ned Brown
afterwards challenged the latter for 10/. of his own money,
then or to-morrow. Latham, however, said he would fight
his for a purse to-morrow, at Savage and Kirkman's
fight. He knew that he had no friends, because they bad
not looked after him.—(A laugh.) Sam. Foote (no relation
to the wit) anti Anderson then had a tuna. Baldwin and
Oliver showed off in great style ; Bob seemed rather fat
after his tour, but hit quicker than ever. Dl'Carthir and
Pick (the Bristol youth), then had 'a glove fight for Si.,
to be decided by competent judges as to who had the best
iu half an bout.. The first and second bout was in favour
of Pick ; the third was the same, and so on till the 7th,
whets Pick seemed to have out-firught hiniselfornd M'Car_
thy led with very little relaxation till the 12th bout, Pick
then came round, and had the best up to the 17th, when
the half hour had expired. The umpires had great difg-
culty in deciding this match, as M'Carthy had proied
himself the strongest man, and Pick had had the best of
the hitting. IVlCarthy's regular system was to bore his
antagonist to the rails ; hut when there, he several times ab-
stained from hitting in a most manly manner. On one oc-
casion, however, he forgot his duty, and struck Pick in a
doubtful situation, which elicitea very tumultuous expres-
sions from different parts of the Court. The umpires ul-
timately decided the match to be a draw-bet. Torn Spring
was present, and looked remarkably well, he attended to
back Big Brown, against any one. M'Carthy afterwards
challenged Pick :30/. to 25/. Piek replied, that he was
ready to fight, and would write to his friends iu the
country. Peter Crawley returned thanks, and wound up
the sporta with Dick Acton in the most amiable mariner.
In the course of the day two veterans, one of whom had
fought Jem Belcher, and the other the Game Chicken, at-
tempted a set-to, but one of them was so far gone as to
take advice and retire. •

HONESTY.--Last week, a gentleman lost' a
silk purse on the road from Kessoek to the ferry of Ding-
wall, containing two 5/. notes, three 1/. notes, and a
sovereign. Soon after public information of the loss was
given, the purse was picked up near Dingwall, by a la-
bourer named John Gordon, who instantly carried it to
Mr. Mackenzie, the innkeeper, as directed by the handbill.
—The honesty of the poor man is the more striking, inas-.
much as he imagined that two papers which were in the
purse were notes for 1001. and 51. He was justly rewarded
by a present of a part of the contents of the purse.,

A few days ago as a respectable female,
.wli4
travels about the country with lave caps and other articles
for sale, was passing through Trentham Park, near Nen..
castle...under-Lyme, she was attacked by three men, who
threw her down, and after possessing themselves of all her
disposable property, proceeded one after another to com-
mit a most abominable outrage. They then left her in a
state of complete exhaustion, and were afterwards seen on
the road to Sandbaeh. We are happy to add, that the
unfortunate female is in a fair way for recovery from the
injuries inflicted on her, and that the villains have bees

From Mr. Clarke's chaise he and his daughter were thrown

but we trust no further mischief has happened. The hors
