and non-commissioned officers all know their pl ices well, the style
of touching is eisy and good, the soldiers get quietly over the
ground, and are steady proofs that the Adjutant and drill eerjeants
have done their duty. Lieutenant-Colonel Musa deserves great
credit for the excellent order in which the corps now is, and the

situated at a league and a half from Avesnes, in France,
seven houses, two barns, and a stable, were burnt to the

three quarters of a league from 11ilarbaix, fell a prey to
the flames. The inhabitants pretend that this fire was
occasioned by a meteor which they saw fall up'.n the

pily it was got under before it had done mischief to any
considerable extent.

The rain which fell this morning till about one o'clock, prevented
a very numerous attendance of Ladies at this day's lives; but the,
assemblage of sporting characters of every class, and from every
part of the country, was very great, particularly of Noblemen and
Gentlemen, in honour of whose arrival the bells of York Minster
have been ringing merry peals throughout the day. The following
names will prove the truth of our assertion :

The extreme heat of the late weather excited apprehensions
that the Course would be too dry and parched up for the sport, and
this occasioned a determination on the part of many Gentlemen not
to run their horses. This mil rourable impression remained in full
force till the middle of Let week, when not above sia or eight
horses bad arrived ; but the rain, which fell afterwards. changed.
not only the condi:ion of the ground, but the resole:loin of the
owners of the horses named, for before Sunday upwards of ditty
horses had arrived, and the promises which the entries held out, of
Ene sport, looked fair to bc: realized.
Friday. Saturday, and Sunday, and up to the present moment,
arrivals have been continually taking place, and the city is filled to
an overeow ; every house. capable of being turned into a lodging
house, is full, the inns having been filled by the early arrivals ; those
yet to come will have but a sorry chance of accommodation.

A remarkable vessel, now laid up on Out Sirvey side
oft e River Thames, close to Bettersea.btidge,. is an
object of much public curiosity. Many absurd stories
as: told respecting the form and extraordinary mould
of this piece of naval architecture. It has been mentioned.
as a vessel built for the express purpose of taking Bona-
parte, some years since, from the Rock of St. Helena,
but according to the best information to be obtained, she
was made for service much nearer the.shores of England.
Johnson, the notorious smuggler, it is said, built her
for the purpose of running goods. The mould and rake,
which give uncommon properties for fast• sailing, hav-
ing brought her under .the class prohibited by the
ISmuggling Prevention Act, she has remained useless.
The owners have not sent her down the river, knowing
she is liable to seizure when equipped for sailing.

Five families of Norwegian peasants have sailed from

It would appear by an article from Stockholm, that
England is not the only country where the 11 laws '

been pending these fourteen years, is nearly concluded
by an amicable arrangement and mutual concesions.
Tuesday morning, a young Gentleman, a German,
about 'l6 or 17 years of age, of the house of Ferguson
and Co. of London, travelling to Leominster, outside
the heavy Telegraph night coach, when near Pershore,
fell asleep, and pitched head foremost to the ground.
On his arrival at Worcester, medical assistance was pro-

barn, and producing a watch, asked Mr. King if he
knew it ? Mr. King replying that he knew something
of it, the young man told him that about nine years ago
he broke his (Mr. King's) viodow, and stole the watch
from the inside; that from that hour to the present, he
could scarcely rest day or night; and that he had
been laying by a trifle every week in order to be ena-
bled to pay for it. He then took from his pocket £5,
nearly in silver, which be gave to Mr. King for the'
watch; El of which Mr. King returned. At the time
he committed the theft be was only 14 yeara of age.—;
This is.a strange story. Did it never occur to the bay
to return the watch ? instead of keeping such a memento
of his ;raise for si period of nine years.
