DOVER, JUNE 2.

Arrived his Majesty's packet FURY, Capt. RUTTER,
with their Royal Highiv-sses ilie Duke and Duchess
of CAMBRIDGE, the young Prince GEORGE, and Pan-
cess AUGUSTA ; Colonels PROTT and KENNEL, and suite,
and five carriages.
It having blown hard all the morning, fears were
entettained that_ the packet would not be able to
reach the harbour the same tide; owing to the supe•
rior skill of Caot. RuTria and his crew, however,
the vessel shot alongside the quay in the finest style.
Their Royal Highnesses landed amidst the hearty'
and repeated cheers of an immense assemblage of
persons (the usual Royal salute firing from the Bat-
tery), and Walked to Wismar's ship Hotel, where
every arrangement was previously made for their Royal
Highnesses reception.—Many elegantly dressed and
beautiful females (not hardy enough to mix with the
crowd,) weie waiting at the Hotel, in anxious ex-
pectation of seeing their Royal Highnesses, who, in
the most affable and condescending manner, repeatedly
bowed, in reply to their respectful salutations.
Their Royal Highnesses sleep at Watones Hotel to-night.

CORONATION At RHEIMS.

!HOU THE QUOTIDIENNE OF TUESDAY.

" Rheims, lay 29, in the evening.

" One Of the most curious sights even after the Co-
ronation, is the camp of the troops which his Majesty
is to review. A piece of ground bordered by a stream,
within cannon shot of the city, was hired for 35,000
francs, to encamp 9,000 infantry. The camp is in the
form of a parallelogram, 1,500 toisei by 80. Eight
battalions of the Guards form the right, supported by
a battalion of six guns ; the left•of eight battalions of
the Line, has likewise eight guns. The centre is formed
by two companies of the Engineers, and k opposite
the Pavilion of the King. The front of this line is
bordered as usual by piles of arms. Between these
and the tents of the soldiers, which are laid out so as
P make an agreeable appearance, blue bottles, jon-
quils, rose:, and tufts of grass, form ciphers. 'crowns,
crosses of St. Louis, of the Legion of Honour, and
are surrounded by mottos, which are affecting by their
simplicity; Before the 60th Regiment are the follow-
ing, words formed of blue bottles, below the King's
bust :••••4 fin instant dans noire camp, et dans nos rceurs
toujours: Before the 14th is a large crown, with these
words—' Dieu la iui a donnie nous devons la li i con-
server.' Before the 23d, Hai sa Judedll anne:—
They might have added, et sa bonne omit, for it is
impossible to see filter troops. Among them is a bat-
talion of the 11th of the Line, which arrived on the
27th, in the morning, with its Colonel, coming direct
from Saragossa. It has made 55 stages, and, notwith-
4tanding this long march, its gaiety is unalterable,r.
. and its appearance rivals that of the other troops.
" The quarter of the Guards presents everywhere the
wordfidelity ; it is divided into several streets, bearing
the names of the King, the Dauphin, the Dauphiness,
Bordeaux, Honour, Fulda", and the Ladies."

EXTRACT OP A PRIVATE LETTER.
Rheum, May 59.
" As far as I can judge, the number of English at
Rheims, is by no means considerable. The town, in the
evening, presented a very curious appearance, from the
mixture of classes—Dukes, with their stars glittering at
their breasts; Marshals of France, with their scarfs;
Gardes-de-Corps, with their clattering swords; Peers of
France ; Members of the Chamber of .Deputies ; and
Ipeasants, from all parts of the country, joked agdinst
each other without distinction. The places of public
accommodation here are by no means numerous, and
if it were not for a coflee•house, opened expressly
for the Sacre, by Tortoni, of Parii, the Parisians
would hardly know what to do with themselves.—
Here, however, all that Tortoni is famous for may
be had in perfection—coffee, ices, orgeat, groseille, li-
queurs, with dejeunes o-lefourchette, in the morning;
the charges are precisely the same as in Paris. Two
Restaurants of note are open, at one of which there is
a table d'hote at fifty francs each, and at the other ten
francs ; as I had no inclination to visit either of these,
although the charge at the second appeared very mo-
derate for the Sacre,,l trotted into a Traiteur's, where I
had a petit diner, the nature of which it will be proper
to state, in order to spew how the reputation of Rheims,
for enormous charges, has been ex4ggerated, appa-
rently for the purpose of frightening folks away. F
a slight dinner, with soup, pigeon, and green-peas, and
half a bottle of very good wine, I paid only forty sous.
At the next table dined a German Duke, who is said
to be rich. For his dinner, vrhioh was nearly the same,
-be paid the same sum. As to lodgings, they are
very dear, but by no means scarce. I have a decent
room in the principal street at forty francs a day.
This room, it is true, would in Paris be scarcely
worth forty sous, burthe forty francs appear moderate
after what bas appeared on the subject in the public
prints. Better rooms were let here last night at fifteen
francs a-day, and worse a fortnight ago at 100. To-
morrow a further diminution of sim.lar extent may be
expected. Most of the apartments here are hung with
religious pictures, ftii this is the focus of all that is
bigoted and supetstitious."

It is said that an Agent from Mexico is now at Bins.
.sels, where he is charged with •arious commissions
by his Government. .
The King of the Nartrzar.ons, by a Decree of the
18 h of this month, has nominated M. 11101tN8 his
Consul-General at Mexico, M. VERMOCLES Consul at
Buenos Ayres, and M. C. J. Wvt.zr, of Amsterdam;

CHARITY SCHOOLS ANNIVERSARY.
•
A. more interesting spectiCle can rarely be seen than
that which was exhibited in St. Paul's Cathedral yester-
day, the Anniversary Meeting of the Children be-
longing to the *Charity Schools of the several Parishes
of the Metropolis. The body of that magnificent struc-
ture, from the choir down the nave neatly to the west-
ern door of 'the Church, including the spacious area
beneath the dome, was, as is customary, enclOsed for
the occasion'; the sides forming a vast-amphitheatre of
seats, gradually rising almost to the capitals of the
ante: which compose the pieces Of the arches that sup-
port the dome. These weie filled with the children,
8.000 in number, whose •ner, clean, and general
healthiness, rendered their appearance truly gratifying.
Among the more distinguished visitors, we observed
the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, attended by
Colonel Higgins; Lord Bexley; the Bishops of L n.
don and Down and COnnor ; the Lord Mayor, several
Aldermen, Sheriff Key, and the three Canadian Chit fs.
The service commenced with the 100th Psalm, sung by
the children. The Psalms of the day were then chaunted
by the Gentlemen of the choir, and the children joined
in the Gloria Potri. After the first Lesson, Te Dem
and after the second, Jubilate Deo, were sung by the
Choir; and before the Prayer for the King, Handel%
Coronation Anthem, in which the children joined.—
Before the Sermon, the 113th Psalm, and after it the
104th Psalm. The Sermon was preached by the Bishop
of Down and Connor. The ceremony concluded with
Handel's grand Hallelujah Chorus. So great was the
concourse of people that attended on this occasion, that
many hundreds, who were unable to procure seats, pa-
laded the aisles during the whole of the ceremony,
which did not terminate until past three o'clock.

BrESTMINSi*ER CUUttl'OF REQUESTS,June 2

MAI AWARINO v. PICKETT.—The plaintiff, a dealer
in drapery by tally, sought to recover of Pickett the
sum of I ls, 6d. for certain yards of printed cotton sold
to his wife, and which were to have been paid for at a
specified sum per week, agreed on, as all tally 'goods are.
Mr. Pickett, a sturdy thick-set fellow, *hose upper
land lower habiliments we' e of velveteen, with a staring
blue and yellow striped waistcoat of toilinet between
them, and who, moreover, did not appear to have the
fear of the Court much in his mind, stoutly denied that
he owed the plaintiff one farden, and that the woman
was.i•o wife of his.
One of the Commissioners took him in hand for an
examination :

Commissioner: What are you, my man?.—Pickett: A costa.
summer, and please your Vorship.
Commissioner : A costermonger, what's that ?—Pickett :
Lord love your Honour, don't you know set a costermonger is ?
mil that is a good one, ewsunsdeper. ry I thought that every
body .at lived in remainder /mowed vat a costermonger vas. Veil,
then, Fit tell your Reverence est it is; a costermonger generale
keeps a neddy, or a good aff little horse, and a light cart • veil,
then he turns an honest petly in anything, it don't tinny; vat,
dick as sanseson, dog's-meat, peas, siikerel, sparreygrau, red her-
rine, and eastories.
Commissioner : Well, well, that's quite enough ; now tell us
who this woman is, if she is nut your wife ?—Plokett : Vy, your
Votilltip, her name's Sall Guest, and the truth is that ye vent
partners in ago of sprats, or a few bundles of grass, or anything
vat vas cheap, and she used to cry 'em, and knock at all the doors
o' one side o' the vay, vile I did the same o' t'other side, and the
donkey kept the cart between as in the middle. Lord love you,
Sir, my jackass knows yen to stop and yen to go on as veil as ye
do ; but as for Sall Guest, she's no more my vile than your Ronne's.
CoMmissioner: Well, but Pickett, did not you lodge together?
—Pickett : Yy just. in busy time, I can't say but vat ye did make
one room do for us.
Commissioner: And one bed, I suppose ?—Pickett : Pry, yes,
your Verskip.
Commissioner : And was she not sometimes called Mrs. Pickett?
—Pickett : Now and then, your Vorskip.
Coinmissioner: Then, Pickett, you must pay the linen-draper ;
and as Sall has proved a bad Guest for you this time, take can bow
, you go partners with such guests In future.
Pickett pocketed the verdict, made al awkward three-eornered
sort of bow, and retired.

SPURTING INTELLIGENCE.

-
ASCOT HEATH RACES.

THURSDAY, JUNZ 2.-THIRD DAY.

Although this morning was cold and threatened rain, the ape
preaches to the Heath, brewery possible cUrectiod, were crowded
with carriages at an early hour; and indeed such was the desire to I
obtain favouratin situations for seeing the Races,*that as early as
four in the Wonting several carriages were placed close to the
Stewards' Stand. The visitors from London, in point of number
and rank, were *infinitely greater than on the former days, and
such was the call for horses at Hounslow and Staines, that it was
utterly impossible to supply the demand, and a great number of
the London horses were of necessity driven through, and much
delay and great distresito the =Wats, followed of course. As the
day advanced, it cleared up, and on the whole the weather, though,
not warm, proved favourable. The crowd assembled by owe
o'clock was immense. As the different parties arrived, many of
them quitted their carriages, and joined the general promenade on
the Course, producing in the end as crowded and brilliant an as-
semblage of beauty and fashion as was ever seen, even in the most
celebrated days of Kensington Gardens. - The. Stands too were all
crowded with females elegantly dressed, and these, combined with
these who remained in and upon their carriages, and in other ele-
vated situations, afforded a coup d'ait of the most fascinating de.
scription. While things were in this state, the Stewards' hell rang,
to announce the approach of his Majesty, who, as yesterday, came
directly up the New Mile Course, prfceded by Lord Marlborough,
and a large body of y. omen pricker. and grooms, in scarlet live-
ries. An avenue was immediately cleared in the centre of the
throng. through which his Majesty paws* amidst loud and reite-
rated cheers, waving of handkerchiefs, and clapping of hands.—.
Ills Majesty seemed highly delighted with the lively spectacle pre-
sented to his view, and bowed with affability and cheerfulness on
every side. He was in excellent heafth and spirits, and was ac-
companied in his carriage, by the Duke of Wellington and the
Duke of Dorset. Among the distinguished persons present during
the day, we noticed his Royal Highness the Duke of York, the
Princess- Augusta, the Dukes of Richmond, Grafton, and Port-
land; the Ladies Paget, the Marquis and Marchimess of Exeter
the Marquis and Marchioness of Cunyngham, the Marquis iced
Marchioness of Worcester, Earl and Countess of Warwick, Lord
and Lady Scarborough, the Earl and Countess of Harcourt, Lord
and Lady Gwydyr, Lord and Lady Verulam, Lord and ,Lady,
Clarendon, Earl Bathurst, Lord and Lady Cowper, Earl of Wil-
ton; Lords Anson, Jersey, and Harborough ; Lord and Lady
Uxbridge' Lady Owen, Lord and Lady Macdonald, Lady Mary-
borough, Sir Charles Morgan, Sir John Shelley, Colonel O'Neil,
Mr. Hughes Ball and his Lady, -Lord Charles 13entinek, )Jr.
Wayne, Mr. Lembton, and all the leading men of the turf. His
Majesty remained till the conclusion of the sports, and was sur-
rounded during the day by a circle of'his friends, with whom he
kept up an incessant conversation. He seemed to enter inset all the
pleasures el the day most heartily. In his way back to the Cot-
tage he again passed down the centre of the Course, and the de-
monstrations of affection and loyalty were renewed with additional
enthusiasm. Upon the whole, a more gratifying exhibition, from
first to last, was never witnessed at these Races. '
It will be seen below that the Sweepstakes of $0 sous. each, was
won by the Duke of York's Rainbow filly; she is, however, the
property of his Majesty, and was bred at I lampton Court. The
King was very highly pleased with the success of his filly, and when
Mr. Greville, Master of the Horse to the Duke of York, waited
on his Majesty with the result of the race; his Majesty ceadeseesd-
itself shook hands with him, and thanked bim for his att.sduu
lei
bringing the horse so well to the post. Goodison also was noticed
for Isis good jockeyship on the occasion. Tom reduced Maier
considerably below his riding weight.
Immediately after the first Rica the Gold Cup was-convoyed
from the Winning Stand by Lord Moryhortitrgh, for the istpeccine.

There wags good deal of betting on this race, and it was anti-
cipated that Wings, the winner of the Oaks at Epsom, would have
been the favourite. The additional Sibs. however, wkich she had
to carry, and the hill to tun Up, were considered apinst her, and
she was only second favourite. The odds were 3to ag.t Adellaa
and 7to 4 apt Wings; 60 to 50 Adeliza against Wings. Wings
took the lead at starting, and kept it till she bad passed the win-
ning post, when Addis* sprung forward and won cleverly.

Lord G. 11. Cavendish's Bizarre, 5 yrs old
Mr. F. Craven's b. c. Longwaist, 4 yrs old
Mr. Cooper's Streatham, 4 yrs old •
This was the most sporting race of the day. and immense sums
were laid. Lunpvaist was the favourite at Tattersall's all last
week; 6 to S against Bisarre; the odds, however, got up last
night, and he got to 2 to 1. This morning be was currently backed
at•these odds, until Lord George Cavendish came into the ring
and became a taker; he then went back to S and 6 to 4, which
odds continued till the start. The betting was entirely between
these two, as it was a hundred to eight against Streatham. Long-
waist made play at starting, and from his lengthy strides was
backed to win without a doubt. On passing the Betting-stand,
however, it was Nth that he was hard pressed by Bizarre, and a
few yards further it was a dead run, neither having an inch the
advantage. The jockies now went to work, and a more beautiful
contest was never witnessed; many thought it was a dead heat,
but Mr. Clarke, the Judge, gave the race in favour of Bizarre by
half. neck, in which judgment he was confirmed by others. Lord
George mark a large stake by his confidence.

It was thought Adeliza would have walked over, but Tamar bad
the temerity to contest the point. It was 4to 1 against him, and
Adelka won in a canter.

This race also formed a source of heavy betting; 6 to 4 on the
Duke of York's colt against the field. The Duke at starting reared
off an end, and his friends were alarmed, but be then bounded for.
ward, and soon got the lead, and won by two lengths.
