COMMIS6I9bI OF. LUNACY.
. .
:a! TKL MATTIS OW TOE RV/. *NDWARD FRANK (ts
SUPPoSRO LUNATIC).
SIXTH DAY. -
•
. Mr. Propert, the Surgeon, recalled— Had not made
his ,mind yesterday about Mr. Prank's state of mind;
':ad since had an opportunity of recollecting conversa-
tions he had, had with him on other subjects; he inva.'
riably found hiM accurate on other matters of•accounts,
and anxious to hive Touchers to support their accuracy.
in 1821, had a conversation with Mr. Frank on the
subject of letting his estate at Campsall ; his observa.
bons were extremely rational; he was anxious to have
a tenant who would take care of the property, and he
said, if the taxes were paid, and the estate kept in good
condition, the rent would be merely nominal. Mr. F.
asked him to recommend him a tenant.
Cross-examined by the SoLIC:TOR-GENERAL—The
• accounts alluded to, that were settled by Mr. Frank
tt ith vouchers, were his oivn tils for medical attend-
ance, and the vouchers were the receipts, which Mr. F.
always asked for on paying him money; Mr. Frank paid
him 101. at one time, and 501.
.at another; was at-
tending Mrs.Barry,who was living under the protection
of Mr. F. at the time he was introduced to Mr. Frank.
By a CaIIMISSIONER—Had heard other conversations
of Mr. Frank's equally rational; had also heard him
go on about his exploits with the ladies; his conversa-
tion • was generally rational ; never dined with Mrs.
Barry and Mr. Stank; had drank a glass of wine with
then;. believes it consistent that a Clergyman should be
of sound mind, and a debauched character; Mr. F. was
not the only profligate Member of the Church of sound
mind that he had known; Mr. Frank objected to the
amount of his last bill ; he said it eras more than he
expected ; Mr. Frank's words were, 41 Your bill is more
than I expected, and more than I can afford to pay;"
he (witness) took off 71. or 81. Had said Mr. Frank
was a profligate, weak-minded man, but believed him
of sound mind.
Here some discussion arose between Mr. Spence and
the Commissioners, about an examination of Mr. Frank
a second time. A wish on the part of some of the Jury
had been privately intimated to Mr. Spenee, who said
that such a proceeding would be irregular; but that
for his own part he had no objection to produce Mr.
Frank as often as was required; but an. order, he
thought, should be given by the Chancellor.
*Mr. William Burroughs called—ls a surgeon,
_ and
resides at Islington. Was acquainted with Mr. Frank
from February -to June, 1822, and taw him sometimes
ahiee cr four times a-week. Believed him to be a person
or sound mind. Had many professional conversations
with Mr. Frank; observed an oddness about his manner,
and a quickness in his delivery; but that did not lead
him to suppose that he was of unsound mind; it was
not attended with incoherency of expression. That
oddness was confined to manner and mode of expression.
Saw Mr. Frank in June last ; he was low-spirited in
June ; Mr. Frank accounted for it by being in town on
unpleasant business; saw 11;m on Friday week, and latt
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Friday, Mr. Frank
lode outie a gig with him, and said he did not like to
ride its a gig in London streets, for it was dangerous.—
Re said it wits,a hot day; that there would be a good
harvest ; that there could not be a good second crop of.
hay, if there was not some rain; and that vegetables
were going by, and getting dearer. The result of the,
conversation satisfied him Mr. Frank was of sound mind.
He was capable of reflection and discrithination. Baw
Mr. Frank that morning, and believed him to be in
better spirits than before. He has lost his sight, but in
reference to his intellectual powers, he believes him ca-
pable of managing his own affairs.
Cross-examined by the Souction Giusitaat,.--Never conversed
with Mr. Frank about Dr. Dickenson and Mrs. Frank; wpm
asked him if the imputations on his wile's chastity were calumnies,
or if he persisted in his statement that-Mt. Bellamy had bribed the
Postmaster to intercept his letters. •
Dr. Veitch examined by Mr. SPENCE.—Is Medical
Snperintendant of the Royal Naval Lunatic Asylum, at
Houton. There is another Asylum at -Haslam ; has
examined into the state of Mr. Frank, as to his mental
powers, his judgment, and his memory, and endea-
voured to ascertain if those powers were so overlaid by
the force of imagination as to finder him incompetent
to pe.rform the ordinary duties of life. He found no
defect in his mental power, so as to make him either a
maniac or an ideot ; saw him between the Ist and 7th
• of March. also yesterday, and that morning ; saw him
also in Berners-street, in the latter end of March, and
saw no reason to consider him incompetent to manage
Isis affairs, with those aids which every man not brought
up to. business necessarily requires. Mr. Frank was
completely alive to his own interests; he appointed to
see Mr. Frank in Bolton-row, at a particular hour, and
he was punctual in his attendance ;•he came in a hack-
ney-coach, and the coachman overcharged him a shil-
• ling; he objected to the imposition, and the coachman
. returned the money.
-Cross-examined by the Souceron-Genazat—Had examined Mr.
Tmirk respecting the supposed intercourse between his wife and Ur.
Dickenson; Mr. F. believed that Dr. Dickenson was his friend,
and that the stories respecting the adultery were calumnies; he also
believed that Mr. Bellamy had got possession of some of his letters
. • ,by Intercepting tkem ; he said his reason for going back to bye with
, his wife was founded on a conviction of her innocence, and that the
separation bad been the result of a conspiracy of Bellamy's. Ad-
mitting that Mr. F. believed his wife criminal, his return to her
did not prove unsoundness of mind ; it proved a want of delicacy,
• a profligacy, and a weakness of mind; his mind was sound, but
there was a deficiency in the force of character.
• By the CHIEF. Coscutsasorraa—A man may be of unsound mind, 1
who is neither a lunatic nor an ideot ; a man is of unsound mind
when Imagination has got full possession of all his faculties, and
when he believes the suggestions of his imagination to be substantial
troths ; did not believe Mr. F. in either of these states; Mr. F. he
had already said, is a weal man without force of character, but
neither an ideut nor insane; be questioned Mr. F. that morning as
to the deed he bad executed, and Mr. F. said he thought it was
proper he should provide for his young children, who would other-
wise be destitute.
Dr. Burroughs examined—He had as much experi-
'trite in cases of ibis description as most of his Medical
Brethren present. He had repeatedly examined Mr.
Frank on various subjects, and particularly as to his
wife's conduct, his opinion of Dr. Dickenson, and as to
his profligate conduct at Hull, Cambridge, and other
places. In conversing with him respecting the n.eaning
of the word conspiracy, he replied he surely had rea-
son to think of conspiracy, when he found his two bro-
t4is its-law, his two eldest WS, and all his sisters com-
bined against him, except his sister Elizabeth. On 1.-Is
being asked if he had lowered his rents during the agro
cultural del:domino, he said he had, in many instances,
to the amount of ten, fifteen; and twenty per cent. and
he ezplained ibe rates in a rational way. He saw Mr. F.
ant Wecinesday evening, for the first time since May; and
M that
Ceicribed t r ageneral conversation of half an hour,
, ,e
the .
louielerve pi Cient proceeding, be retnatked, in re-
•PIT toe qoestios on the-subject, that he did not feel re.
Herat- by the inquity: for it was .it-feasful thing to g.:

before a Jury. In allusion to the state of the weather,
he apprehended that it would much injure the turnips
in Norfolk, and that the barley would be light. In dis-
coursing that morning with him upon some of the to-
pic: they had conversed about last May, he recollected
some and forgot others. Mr. Fank appeared to be an
eccentti: man in his manners, be did not think he was
of unsound mind now, though he believed he had been
insane in 1816. His eccentricities might certainly lead
a casual observer)* think he was insane.
In his cross-examination, he bald that Mr. Frank bad approved of
Dr. Dickenson as a more faithful steward than Mr. Bellamy, and
*disbelieved the reports afloat about the. Doctor in his family. .
In answer to a question from the Chief Obounissioner, be de-.
dined defining the term lunacy, not believing that the definition of
doctors cleared up the point.
Mr. SPSNCit 541 d, that the only evidence which he
should oar in behalf of Mr. Frank, in addition to what
had been already before the Jury, was a written com-
munication from Dr. Willis, at Buxton, who stated the
impossib lity, through indisposition, of his attending the
inquisition.
The Sortcrsoa-Gztn:SAL refused to consent to the admission of
such evidence. _ _

Another discussion took place, upon an application
either to have the affidavit of Dr. Willis, confined by
illness at Buxton, read, instead of his oral examination,
or to adjourn the Court till. Monday, in expectation of
his attendance.

The Counsel for the lunacy, offered to admit the
affidavit, which was against them. The Court over-
ruled both propositions. The first was not at all ad-
missible; the adjournment could not be allowed, be-
cause there was no certainty of Dr. Willies attendance.
It was agreed at last that the Jury should fill, up the
test of the afternoon by an ex itiination of Mr. Frank,
that Mr. Spence might'have the advantage of it, of the
intervening Sabbath, and of reading over the last exa-
minations which he had conducted himself, and there-
fore had not the answers well digested in his memory,
before summing up the evidence against the lunacy on
Monday morning.--Adjourned at Two o'Clock.

RIOT' IN SUNDERLAND.

SUNDERLAND, AUGUST S.

This town has been for some dole in a state of great
alarm, in consequence of the differences between the
ship-owners and the sailors of the port. On the ietori
of vessels to this port, after the discharge of their-coal
cargo, they are generally laden with ballast, which it
is an object with the ship-owner to get tid of before the
vessel comes into harbour. The sailors thought they
ought to be paid an extra compensation for didcharr
ing the ballast at sea; but the ship-owners resisting
the demand. the seamen of certain clubs combined
not to work any ship till it should be . granted.—
The ship-owners, driven by this extremity. to em-
ploy other hands, procured seamen from other ports.
The seamen of Sunderland, mortified at what they

conceived an intrusion, resorted to every means to pre-
vent these men trom carrying the ships out to sea; and
when some vessels, with the strangers,- were on. their
way out last Wednesday, the seamen Manned their
boats, and attempted to board theM with vialeace, and
take possession of the 'ships. The civil power being
insufficient to protect the crews, the small military force
stationed here, about 2O men, were called in ; but tbs.

violence and fury of the sailors still increasing, they
were obliged to fire, when three sailors were shot dead, ,
and several severely wounded, one of whom died- yes-
terday. It being appoPended that egg*
renew 41 eir attack, :it was thought nee to hape
additional military tome, and accordingly the Tyne
Yeomanry were sent for yesterday, who paraded the
streets at intervals, in order to keep in awe the mold-
tildes thai were assembled in different parts of thetown.
This morning, on the Inquest being appointed,. the
whole town appeared as if it were about to be besieged.
The streets were crowded with women and sears's, the
former of whom exhibiting all the fury of thepeistarda,
exclaimed, as the Jury were passing, after viewing the
bodies, gl Trey have been murdered, and that must be
hour verdict." The Exchange, where the' Inquest was
eld, was beset during the day with crowds of sailors,
women, and children, arwaittag- the verdict with the
utmost anxiety ; but the result, though disappointing
their expectations, was productive of no violence. The
quays were lined with-an unusual throng of sailors, aid
the inhabitants were still apprehensive of danger from
the irritation which the verdict may excite. The follow-
ing proclamation was published on Thursday :
Port of Sunderiand.—Whereas arlot of the most serious nature
was yesterday caused .by the :Disclaiming and unlawful conduct of
many misguided marsh and others of this pert, and there being
every reason to believe that a recurrence of the same will take
place this evening, the Magistrates, being determined to preserve
the public peace, hereby order all the ieltabitants of the town
to leap to their houses during this overdo& at tide time, except
such as have already, or may this afternoon come forward to be
sworn as special constables. '
The following letter was sent to a respectable ship-
owner in South Shields :
Mr. C. Wawn. . July SS, INS.
Sia—We the Union Man find you wend to pert:mute the Mars
belong to your ship at London But if you deo we the Union Mau ,
will make you as poor a man as you are rich we have 50000,
Union Mean in Durham and Northumberland and hi a short thrill
we have Navey and Armey in your firm came. We are
woo Union Man 30000 Mancantie called out in 54 hr. 8R14071.
(Addressed) Mr: C. Wawa, Esyr. So. Shields Durham.
The names•of the sailors whe were killed, are Ayrd,
Wallace, Dove, and Creighton.
THE INQUEST.
A Coroner's Inquest was held to-day on the body of
Wiliam Ayrd, a sailor, who was killed by a gun-shot
wound on Wednesday last, at Sunderland, at the north
side of the river Wear. This inquiry also involved the
manner in which Wallace and Dove came by their
deaths, as nearly the same evidence applied to all.
John Cozen examined—l am i surgeon, and was
sent for on the Si of August, to attend the deceased ;
I have no doubt his death was caused by this wound.
Wm. Young, of Sunderland, seaman. Oa the even-
ing of the Sd of Auguit, I was standing on a block of
wood on the beach, when I saw Mr. Hutchinson, a ship.
builder, on board the ship Mary, he presented a pistol
at the people who were on shore. • I do not belong to
the Union Society. I saw the pistol go off, but I can-
not say whether it took effect or not. There were sol-
diers on board the Mary ; they fired, and I reckoned
seven slots; I saw Richard Wallace fall, and a sailor ;
Wallace only lived an hour after the shot; hebelunged'
to one of of the Associations, but I can't say to which.
Cross“-xamined by Mr. DAVISON, attorney, acting
for Mr. Kidson, the solicitor of Mr. Hutchinson—The.e
were a great number of persons on the beach, men,
women, and children; they were there before and at
the time of fir ng. I was on the North side. The
beach was covere:l with stones and sand ; the stones
were such as people could throw with the hand. I saw
boats assisting t:te ships to tea, and in those boats I saw
several Constables. The seamen in the boats atteuiptee
to-teke theism Out cf. 6e ships. slid not see the con.
•

stables prevent them. There were constables on b-oard
the ships going to sea. '‘l•saw the people on board the
ships, but no blows we struck. Before the shoot-
ing I did ribssee 'airy constables ill-used. Tl:e
ships then
going down were not prevented from
doing so by the people in The bolas.- I did not
see any Magistrates go off in a boat, and I was
not present when any riot commenced. The pe ,ce"
officers might have been assaulted before I ar-
rived. The soldiers were on board ashen I came down.
There were then 40 people where Fitood and I saw no
stones thrown ; the guns were fired where we were
standing. I looked round as soon as I heard the guns,
and went to the assistance of Richard Wallace, whom
saw fall. I did not hear the Riot Act read. I saw a
light ship and a steam-boat on the river, and I swear
that I did not see the' four boats attempt to take the
police prisoners. I saw Mr. Hutchinson fire a gun, but
when be fired I did not see any one fall.
By a Juror—l beard no orders given for firing.
Samuel Liphage, a seaman, said, l'saw Mr. Hutch-
inson fi- e—it missed I should say. He was on the
quarter-deck of his own ship. This was on Wednesday
the sth of August. The gun he had appeared to me to
be a horse soldier's piece. I also saw Mr.Watfotd with
a gun in his hand, but I cannot say if he was on board
the Mary es not.
(Here be witnesses who were examined were ordered to be kept
separate from those who were not).
Witness continued—Mr. Watford presented the pis
tol, but did not fire. He beckoned to another men on
board ti.e ship, and ponted towards me and a man
near me. The mass so beckoned to came up and fired,
aindsthe man oear.me immediately fell. His n inn was
Thomas Aird, a sailor. I stood on the sand near a ship
which was building.. There were men in the boats on
the river before the firing. They appeared as if they
wanted to take the men out of the ships which were
going down the river. For some day* before I heard
several sailors ask men who were on bard to leave their
ships until such time as they were paid for heaving bal-
last. Men, women', and children were in crowds on the
north shore. I believe some of the women threw stones
on board the ships. The place was full of loose stones.
I saw soldiers.on board several of the ships. Wa ford,
the constable, had soldiers with him in his ship, but I
cannot say if the person he beckoned, and who shot
/Lied, was a soldier.
Examined by Mr. DAVIDSON—I, had heard for four
se five days before this that it was the intention of some
tailors belonging to the Loyal Standard Association, to
I persuade all who belonged to it not to go to sea until
they got paid for heaving the ballast. I am one of that
Association ' • I did what I could to persuade the men
to do so • Iclid not, however,, go on board the ships;
I remained in front of the crowd on the beach. I saw
the boats board, the Mary, but I neither say any blows
given, nor- any resistance made. I saw no scuffle
before the soldiers came. I did rant see the boats try to
take the constables prisoners, neither did I see them
chained together. I saw no stones thrown at any time
,by the crowd, but stones might have been thrown with-
but my seeing them, as I was under the ship's bows.
No force was used, though persuasion was attempted.,
I cannot'say if 11r. Hutcaiuson fired his piece after it
gashed in the pan.
Mr. Davidson, one of the Magistrates, who was with
the soldiers when they fired, now entered the room,
.and said, that as the body of the Magistrates had de.
lermined to send film off to. the Secretary of State for
H.oirra Department. be wee suutioes to be examined,
Wills evidence was thought necessary.•
The CORONSR said he would then examine him.

Mr. Davison examined..-I received a communication on the
evening of the 3d of August, that the assistance of a Magistrate
was rendered necessary, in consequence oE, a riot .which had taken
place; I hastened down to the Exchange, and found that a detach-
limit of the 3d Light Dragoons, with several Gentlemen, mer-
arrest and ship owners, were waiting for a Magistrate. I eked
several Gentlemen if they would state to me, upon oath, that a
not, existed. They answered in the affirmative, and I put
die-nath to them. I then left the room in which I met them,
sad went to the Officer consmandhqg the detachment, and told
his that as a Magistrate I was ready to discharge my duty.—
The party, consisting of about twenty-four men, went along with
me through the High4treet, and other Gentlemen 'were with us.
We were met by several persons, who cried out that murder• had
been committed, and it was supposed that a person of the name of
Hubbard bad been murdered. We then left the High-street, and
proceeded into the Low-street, and along to the Fish-market.
I then observed that a considerable riot existed, which induced
me to read the Riot Act. The proclamation was made in a
load voice before the Act was read. I only read such parts of it
as were necessary. I desired the people to disperse, which they
were net inclined to do. It wsa impossible to tell how many
people were
.auembled ; there were at least 1000 persons present.
!relented the Officer to disperse the crowd. The soldiers drew
their sabres, at the siglit'of Which the people on the south side of the
river dispersed.' During that time Mr. Robinson, a Magistrate,bad
arrived. We then proceeded along the quay, eastwards, nearly '
100 yards, and where it was supposed that the riot continued to
exist. During that period Mr. Hubbard appeared, and said he had
been Mutated and had his stave taken from him by one of the
rioters in a fall. We assisted a- vessel to sea, and in doing so a
quantity.of stones were thrown at us, and I think every one of as
were bit. The shore was crowded to a great extent. All the
people on board our beat Were wounded, I was bit on the back
part of the head. The noise was so great, and the stones flying
so fast, that I. requested the Commanding Officer to have his
men ready. We proceeded further down the river, till we got
opposite the Cobble slip on the South side, when the showers
of stones were so large and so frequent that I resolved upon
consultiog the Commanding Officer upon the expediency of firing.
The Commanding Officer (Lieut. PhiUips) thought it advisable to
bre high, with a view not to hurt any of the people on the shore,
and I believe that the first fire did no injury. It had, however,
the effect of irritating the people more, and the stones came, if pos-
sible, in still greater quantities than before. Lieutenant Phillips
then said, it was probable that firing high would :do as much .mis-
chief as firing lair, inasmuch as the hill, which was high on the
I North aide, was crowded with people who came. out of curiosity,
land who took no part in the riot. After a few shots were fired, 1
I can't say what number of persons dispersed, but we proceedvd to
sea with the vessel. During the firing I remarked that the seamen
separated, end when 'I returned to the harbour all was quiet on
the river. In our way back we were nut interrupted, and the
vessels went to sea.
John Williamson, a member of the Union, saw the shOts fired ;
saw as stones thrown, and was ultimately taken into custody on a
lwarrant charging him with having been a rioter on the 341 of August.
Mr. Ralph Laws and Mr. Metcalf were called, and both de-
, posed that they had seen the witness, Williams, on board the Busy,
which was proceeding to sea on the day in question, and that be
used abusive and threatening language to each of them.
Mr. Laws was of opinion that the use of military was necessary
to disperse the crowd ; and frlt convinced, that if the soldiefs had
net been placed on the ship where he was, they would have teen
all murdered. The witness in continuation said, that he did not
think the pistol of Mr. llutchinson would have carried a hall to the
shore, much less have killed a person standing at such a distance.
Mr. Palmer was called, who swore that he was on hoard the
ship Mary from the time of her getting under way, and that nu
shut was fired by him or Mr. Hutchinson, or any other person
during that day. Mr. Hutchinson had a pair of unloaded pistols
which.be presented, and when presented the boats sheered off.
Watford, the constable, swore that he was onboard the Mary,
and that uo gun was bred front her while he was Ott hoisid df her.
Other witnesses were called. and the Coroner sumined up the
evidence, when the Jury found a verdict of " Justifiable Homicide"•
on the part of the military.
Anotlier Inquest was held oaf the south side of the-river, upon
the body cd Creighton, who happened. to be taken to that side Attar
lie was allot. Nearly the same evidence was adduced, and the Jury
returned a verdict ef."

COWES REC.4TT.4, CLUB arayNcß,
eVD .RACE BALL.

COWES, AUGUST G.
Our Annual Begatta and Sailing Minch took place on the 4th
and 6th Inst. This Marine Festival is now of so loilistanding, and
has on former occasions excited so great interest, and received so
flattering encomiums front the most distinguished personages in the
kingdom, that it becomes unnecessary to enter into any lengthened
detail of the proceedings. Something more, however, seems to be
required than a mere list of the winning vessels and boats, and we
shall therefore attempt a short sketch of the amusements of the
two days, though, we should premise, that of all exhibitions, this
is perhaps that of which description aids least in forming a just
conception. The operations commenced on Thursday anornian:
(with a strong wind froni the S. W.) by the usual review of the
licensed pilot vessels of the district, the superiority of which over
those of any other port is universally admitted. Newly painted,
and with their numerical flags flying, these fine vessels, about 1 .
A.M. were seen proceeding out of harbour, forming line in the
Roadstead, stretching away round the buoys of the Brambles and
Middle Bank, and returning to harbour in order, to present then_
selves to the Sub-Commissioners of the District. By this time,

notwithstanding the commencement of the rain, which newts-
nately somewhat damped the hest day's sport, a considerable cue-
course of spectators had assembled en the Parade ; and after
paddling up the harbour to attract notice to their different coheir%
the boats entered for the rowing match were started by a sier.,l
gun at three o'clock. The Course was to the westward round the
Admiralty yacht off Covets Castle, and from thence. eastward
round \ lr. Tatzot's schooner Galatea—whieh was perairmed fee
times, and the race 'et utinated in favour of the Willing Nlt.id,
Cot.rmax, which received a prise of seven sovereigns ; the worn&
and third prizes, of five and three sovereigns, being allotted to the
Honest Lawyer, Day, and the Harriet, littura.
On the Friday, the clouds having dispelled, the wind conti-
nuing to blow from the S.W. a favourable due sport was antici-
pated, and the result answered the expectation, fur the yachts and
smaU craft of all sizes were seen early assembling, some under sail,
and others at anchor—many gaily attired with lines of fl,ags. and all
concentrated iq unefocus, presented an animated and splendid soap
d'ail. The vessels entered for the respective prizes of thirty,
twenty, twelve, and eight sovereigns, took their stations at twelve
o'clock, in-a north and south line off Cowes Castle, with their dis-
tinguishing flags at their mast heads. The signal gun was pre-
sently fired from the Admiralty yacht, and in. an instant the
moorings were shopped, sails hoisted, and the vessels runt:i.:g
before the wind to the eastward ; and after rounding the buoys at
-the Brambles four times, the goal was passed in the following order :
Flora, WALLIS . 1 Marq. of Anglesey, &UMW 4
Ranger, Day . . 2 Ranger, Lev* • • 5
Fox, STUMM . . 3 Fanny, RATSEY . • 6
Gn the Saturday, a match was to have been sailed between Mr.
Davis' Don Giovanni, and Captain LTON'II Queen Mab; but the
former, from some misunderstanding, declining to start, Captain
LYON sailed over the distance alone.
The Club Dinner was held at the lintel. East Cowes, on
Thursday—the Marquis of ANOLICIEY in the Chair. The torrents
of rain which feU just before the hour of dinner prevented many
Members from leaving their yachts. There were, however, about
fifty present, including the Earl of Cavan, Lerd Yarborough, Ad-
miral Sir John Gore, Admiral Scott, Sir George ?Donuts, Bart.
Sir George Leeds, art. Sir Henry Fane, General Edell, Captain
G. F. Seymour, R.N. Capt. Montagu, R.N. Joseph Weld. Esq.
James Maxie, Esq. E. 11. DelaEeld, Esq. Wm. Curtis, Esq. anal
other Members of the Club.
The Race Ball took place on the next evening—the Marquis ,of
Asatesze and Capt. G. F. Sentoua, Stewards. About En per-
sons were present, including most of the rank and beauty now in
the Island. Dancing was kept up to a late hour, and the kir:2nel*
and attention of the Stewards gave universal satisfaction.
There was, as usual, a grand display of Fire-works on the Pa-
rade, under the direction of Mr. joess, the Pyrotechtifst,Vaalls
