This delightful watering plate has heen very full of company,
principally from London, of course. The last few dayh leavrevet,
having been very wet, many Mt taking their cleparturh, and the
faces of Margate kidaittlebeeetebahipara, which always booboo or
contract in proportion a. thet eteMi Iti thin or NU, are
somewhat elongated. People talh.et Brighton for expense, but
Margate is infinitely worse, Sent of the inhabitants are not only
extortionate, but unaccommodating. A lady who Was walking
out in the morning with a young child which became very thirilty,
seeing no other house near, applied at an inn for a cup of milk, but
the surly Boniface refused to sell a drop of milk, telling her she
might have a shilling glass of rum and milk. By the We, some of
the Captains or Stewards of the steam-boats are not moth better;
and the day I went down, another Lady, who bad a little boy, aske
for a roll for him, but this was only obtabied by ordering tea, which
she did not want, and paying eighteen-pence fir it. I understand,
however, that some of the steam boats are lees rapselous indeed,
considering the great number of children that go to end from
Margate in the steam-boats, I wonder that arrangements are not
made to provide them with everything necessary, as tell as their
parents. ,

DEPTFORD ROWING MATCH.
•
It was Deptford's turn yesterday to have a grand skew on the
water, in consequence of a match, by subscription, being got up to
essay the talents of six of its youths, who had just completed their
apprenticeship. The wager was between the following young men :
TIMM NSA?. SPCOXD NEAT.
Daniel Coley—Green Daniel Fowler—Sky Blue
George Wright—Orange Charles Howkt—Dark Blue
William Mears—Pink George Bromley—Yellow.
The second and third men of them first two heat, were to row a
third, to see which two out of the four were best, and the con-
querors, by rowing with the former victors, made a fourtg heat :
after which, to decide the grand prize, a fifth heat was rowed
between the two first of the fourth heat, the best man to receive a
cost and badge as a reward for his exertions, and the other men
various sums of money apportioned to their merit. The distance
rowed was the whole front of the town of Deptford, or en give it
a still more specific locality, three times up and down frost the
Creek's mouth to the King's Dock-yard.
The first and second heats were but poorly contested. The third
heat was remarkably spirited ; and, after a good deal of shill, it
terminated in favour of Yellow and Dark Blue, by which' those
colours became entitled to row the fourth beat for the privilege of
the fifth. The fourth heat was not so good as might have been
expected, considering that it was between the four best men one of
the six ; there was, however, some good rowing shewn in the !nurse
of it, and after a pretty decent struggle, it terminated in favour of
the two Blues, who, after half an hour's respite, were re-appointed
to their labours, to settle the final heat. The fifth heat was very
good, and derived advantages front the number of the rivals having
been so considerably lessened. After rowing the first length,bow-
ever, it became sufficiently evident that the Sky Blue was the
stronger colour of the two • and, by the time that the whole dis-
tance was accomplished, Dark Blue was several boats' lengths in
the rear of his more muscular antagonist, who thus became entitled
M the first prize.
GREAT FOOT RACK FOR 1000 SOVEREIGNS.
The great foot-race over Amesbury Course' between the cele-
brated runner, Nash, from Nottiselmin, and It. Frampton, V.N.
of Bungay, for 1000 soy. took Disco on Tuesday. It had excited
the greatest intetest, Nash being considered the fastest runner of
the distance of this match (twelve miles) in England, and It was
known that Mr. Frampton could do more than ten miles within an
boor. The Coupe, of two miles, was thronged with spectators,
and the Runners performed each two miles as wader, Mr. Frampton `
receiving two minutes at the finish.

It was counted one of the linen races ever witnessed, and it was
thought lit. Frampton could have been near winning without his
two minutes, as he did not use all his exertion in the last half mile,
whim close upon his opponent. Nash did the ten miles in 59 min.
44 sec. and Mr. Frampton the like distance in 59 min. 57 sm.

CRICKET.
A Correspondent at Newmarket informs us that the second
cricket match between Clarke, the phenomenon, weighing 22 stone,
and two good players named Wiseman and Gregory, for 20 sees.
took place as appointed, when the phenomenon was again successful.

The Manchester Mercury says, " The Assizes are
expected to be gayer than they have b.en for some
years past. There are upwards of forty prisoners for
trial, among whom are sir fur murder 19
LAND WATIM SPOUT• LINN, AUG. 1 .—Yester-
day we witnessed a phenomenon which, though fre-
quent at sea, is rather unusual on shore;—what is
termed a water-spout was seen a few miles to the west-
ward of Lynn, first appearing at about a quarter past
one o'clock, it seemed to be excited over Marshi-nd,
and it exhibited the appearance of a mass of light
clouds in the midst of a very dark one, in the form of
an inverted cone, arising from the earth, on which its
apex rested, to the elevation of about 48 degrees: the
edges of the tone assumed a very dark hue, and were
clearly defined. We have not as yet heard w: ether
any damage hat been sustained horn it. It gradually
blended with the clouds in a (patter of an hour, by
which time they were immediately 'over Lynn, and
poured down torrents of rain, in so vio!erst a rummer
As to choke the drains and inundate several :f the streets.

ExCCUTION AT Buay.--Tuesday. at twelve o'clock,
John Moms, teed and condemned at the late Suffolk
Alsizes, for highway robbery at Hadhigh, paid the
awful forfeit of his crimes, by an ign'minious death.
The unfortunate culprit, since his conviction, evinced
that state of mind best suited to make reparation for
his manifold offence,. He had acknowledged being
tante: net!, with others, in various thefts and robberies.
Wheal conveyed from Court, after his sentence, he so-
lemnly declared to Mr. Orridge, that his co-partner iii
crime, Griuney, though privy to the robbery of which
they were both convicted, did not participa'e in the
violence used towards Raynham, being on the. watch
at a distance of thirty or forty yards. This confession
was the means of saving Gl imsey's life.
