Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Abo, dated
July 25 On the 16th inst. a *reek was found drifting be-
tween the rocks a few miles foam Stang°, and put on shore on
the Island of Rofola. She is an English brig, named the ()team,
laden with deals, and supposed from St. Petersburgh."
lslnvusvets, Atustrsx 26.—A lugger, called the Sally, of Hast-
ings, Jon* Muses, master, arrived at this port, about one o'clock
this morning, for the purpose of (as the master stated) taking on
board a cargo of slates and whiting, at Lewes, for Hastings,
which he has done many times before; whether the Surveyor cf
the port had calculated the expenses of the vessel, so as to induce
him to believe this industrious master could not pay himself
sufficient for his labour in conveying small' freights to Hastings,
or what his reaspu could be is not known; for no sooner did the
poor Sally take her departure for Lewes, which was about 12
at noon, this day, than Mr. Surveyor, with his active crew, run
her alongside and boarded her, and not only did he hoard her,
but he bored holes in her sides with an instrument he carried
for the purpose, when to his gratification he found she had false
sides •on persevering, with the assistance of his crew, he disco.
vered concealed, 78 casks of spirit, 180 parcels of tobacco, 51
parcels of tea, and other trifling articles, which of course he
seized, together with the boat and materials, and the master he
made prisoner. The whole of these goods have been safely
lodged in his Majesty's Custom-house at this port. The casks
are iron-hound, and made to fit the sides of the boat ; and the
whole were ingeniously, stowed.

SHIP LAUNCH AT PLYMOUTH.

The launch of the fine vessel, the LANCASTER, of
60 guns, took place last Friday evening, about six
o'clock. Notwithstanding the extremely unfavour-
able state of the weather, a large number of specta-
tors, comprising even a considerable portion of re-
spectable and well dressed females, attended in the
yard, onboard the frigate, and on the adjoining quays.'
A considerable number of boats, filled with well-
dressed persons, also attended in the front of the Dock-
yard, and gave an appearance to the river of much
animation. A little before six o'clock, Mrs. Bevies
(the Lady of the present worthy High Sheriff of
Devon), was introduced by Commissioner SHIELD to
christen the vessel, and, soon after the ceremony, the
LANCASTER, in the most graceful and majestic man-
ner, glided
.from her slip towards the harbour, and
in less than half a minute, from the time she com-
menced moving, embraced, and was embosomed in
her native element, in Hamoaze, amidst the shouts
and acclamations of surrounding thousands. She is
a remarkably fine frigate, has a flush deck, a beauti-
ful round stern, and an animated bust at her head.—
Her appearance on the water was very striking. She
has been built ;von the same plan, and has much the
appearance of the PORTLAND, lately launched hem.

Sir THOMAS WnaLAN has been elected an Alder-
man of Dublin, in the room of the late Alderman :VANDER&

Among the Alterations at Covent-Garden Theatre,
during the recess, is the alternate rows in the Pit being fitted
with backs ; in the dress circle also the sane plan is applied to
the respective seats, which are to remaln, in other respects, as
usual ; while mean. are taken to avoid the vacuum in the back
ground of the centre Boxes, by contracting their depth by two
rows of seats.

SPORTING

BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S, AUGUST 2/1.
Tattersall's to-day was rather thinly attended, but the mse•
lators present were of the most respectable descripdoe.

so great a favourite, and even gut up since Monday, that scarcely
as edge could be made. Rosanne has moved also in a trilling.
degree ; Claude Lorraine has gone back one, and Tancred three
points; Barefoot has likewise gone back one point ; Sherwood,
Palais Royal, Comte D'Artois, Piense's and Gascoigne's fillies,
stand as in our last. What is gone with the late favourite, poor
Miss Fanny, seems at present to be unfathomable ; there are nu.
merous rumours afloat, but that which most predominates gives
her a blood spavin ; should this be the case, her name must be
obliterated from the St. Leger of the present year. Notwith-
standing that Tinker stands so pre-eminent, we have frequently
seen an equally great favourite brat by one of the last of the out.
side horses; we therefore think the preset speculations on this
great stakes seem, if ever a chance was nn the field, to 16ok in
a favourable state, particularly as Tinker is an untried horse.
The above were the only horses particularly talked of, and the
Derby and Oaks stakes stand as before.
