SHOAL OFF BEACIIY HEAD. • •
• East Cowes, April 18, I AN.
Sia—lt may probably be of service to the shipping interest in
general to acquaint you, that the Royal Sovereign shoal, off Ileachy-
head, has grown up very much within these late year; ; so touch
that it ougt to be avoided even by the smallest nierehant-vesse:,
except at tide times. In 1806, when cruising off there in his Ma-
jesty's ship LEVERET, I had an opportunity of surveying it, and
could not find less than three fathoms on it, with heathy-bead W.
by N. and Fairleigh E. by N. Last Friday, the 16th inst. I was re-
turning from Amsterdam, in a merchant-ship, drawing thirteen
'feet, with the wind from the Eastward, and the water tolerably
smooth, at half-past seven in the evening, going at the rate of eight
knots: to my great surpri,,e, the ship struck ou the'said shoal, but
did not stop, only whilst griaditig over the bank, instead of going
eight, she went about five knots ; and. after going about a cable's
length over the bank, she was afloat ag,:dti, without any injury. At
the same time, an English bark crossed the shoal a little to the
Eastward of us, but did not observe her strike. It was an hour
and a half after low water; so that there cannot be more than ten
and a-half feet at low water swipe, tides, with Beachy-head W. by
N. a-N. and Fairleigh E.N.E. nr Eby N. N. The shoal istouch
larger man is generally laid dowri in charts, aii.l I havu no doubt
that this shoal cattalos :he Horse of Wdlingdon and Penisey shoal.

The latest leters front Holland are filled with details
respecting the new Trading Company, which may be
considered a great National Institution. The first inten-
tion was Oat the capital should be twelve millibns
of guilders; it k now proposed to be increased to twenty-
four millions of guilders, and the books for the inscrip-
tions were opened only a few hours before an amount
of nearly sevectv millions guilders was subscribed for.
The books werein consequence closed, and .t premium
on shares of ten and eleven pounds has -already been
realited. The letters state it is impossible to say where
the premium may stop, as the applications flow Eng-
land, France, and Getin.oly ale numerous, and to an
immense amount.

content ow selves.w ith saying, that all the people of
Tv'hitechapel est,tward to liow, and all
the lishionables from 11i undsditch, and all the (rant
ton of I)tike's-piace and Bevis Masks, were present.—
The Gentlemen—many a ohe of whom hired a ;water
for the occaion—weie, for the most past well mounted,
either on boilers, roarer, sky-scrapers, or daisy-cutters,
and the Ladies and little ones in an endless variety of

carriages. By one o'clock, P.M. they had all conglo-
merated in the Forest, nn the brow of the hill beyond2he
Bald-faced Stag, and theie they waited the commence-
ment of the sports—the Gentlemen making the most.
of their horses, aad the Ladies making the most of the
sandwiches, and every now and then exclairnina—
" Dear me! where is the deer ?"
But the deer was not to be had at that time; for its
owners were making the most of it in Woodford, by
exhibiting it at threepence a-head to the curia us; and
as the curious could not be all satisfied till nearly two
o'clock, it Was nearly two .;clock before the deer was
brought to the ground ; and then, as Mr. Drake, the
drysalter, said "the tind was so high, the scent voald'ut
lay." However, scent or no scent, just before two o'clock
the deer hanintal was bfought down from Woodford in
a cart, attended by some six'ur seven couples of hounds
•-•—harriers and beagles assorted—and two or three hun-
dred boys, who made the welkin ring with a view -
halloo before the deer was uncarted. At length the
door of the cart avas.opened, the deer was poked oat;
and away she went down .the valley, surrounded by
hundreds of horsemen and footmensome before he;
and some behind her, all whooping and hallooing pen-
men ; %% bast the Ladies looked wondering, and the
hounds had enoughao do to save themselves from being
trampled to death by the horses. ' In two minutes, how-
ever; the deer had distanced two-thirds of her pursuers,
and " which. way is she gone?" was the cry ; butt
luckily, at.this moment, a hale started from her form
among the underwood by the universal uproar, and
took across the open &Arno ; and was soon kiiiesl.
What became of the deer was ;or a long time doubtful;
but towards tour o'clbck she was found up to her chin
in Old Golding's pond—about three miles from where
she was started ; and she was brought back tn her cart
to Wendt' rd, little the worae for wear.
When the fun was over, the sportsmen, sportstsumin,
and spot tschildren adjoarred to the diiferent
houses on the Forest, where they nan.le themselves
jally as possible for an Lour or two, and then returned
hortie, surging

From an early hour in the day, both the river and the
road leading front town were covered with the votaries
of fun, speeding towards the spi ightly scene, in wherries,
coaches, gigs, cat ts, and, on too.. Their spirits, already
sufficiently buoyant, were still farther heightened by
the warm rays of the sun, and the cloudless appear-

than they eagerly entered upon the various amuse-
