STEAM VESSELS.

Every regulation that has been attempted, with a view of pre.
serving order amongst the waternien at the stairs from which pas-
sengers embark for the steam-boat, has failed to produce any ma.
terial effect, as tumults arc incessant, and the lives and proper.
ties of the paw:eagers are constantly endangered, by the contests
between the watermen for fares, and by the mode in which they
arc embarked or landed. Every day complaints of outrages are
made, not only to the Magistrates, but to the ‘Vaterman's Com.
parry, by a portion only of the public who have felt them.
selves aggrieved. The accommodation provided by the St. Cathe.
tine Dock Company, for the embarkation and landing of passengers
to and from the steam-vessels, has been very great, and the plan
adopted to produce that accommodation is about to be followed.—
The inhabitants of Tower Ward have petitioned the Navigation
Committee of the Corporation to make sona arrangements, by which
passengers can be put on board those steam-vessels which cannot
procure the accommodation they require at the St. Catherine's Dock.
It has been proposed to have a barge, or floating lighter, moored of
the cast end of the Custom House Terrace, and a corner of the
legal quays. Over this barge will be carried a platform, from
which passengers may at once embark,without the necessity of trust.
ing themselves to any wherry, or scrambling on board in the ordi.
nary style, which can never, in that part of die river, be divested of
, danger 4 or, what is the same thing, to persons of week nerves and
delicate health, the painful appearance of it. The machine which
is proposed will not be carried out beyond the craft moored
off the legal quays, or obstruct the navigation of the river, and
it will obviate the necessity constantly experienced, of ez.
pending coach hire, and risking impediments and loss time
and passage, to obtain a more convenient embarkation lower
down the river. The erection, however, is proposed to be
made only temporarily, or until something still more convenient
for the public can be erected higher up the river, after the cont.
pletion of the New London-bridge. The leading members of the
Navigation Committee appear to be in favour of the improve.
ment, and to consider that the convenience of the public, and
the credit of the City, demand some exertions from the
Corporation to abate the nuisance. The only ground of op.
posit:on is with regard to the interests of the wetermen, to
whom the steam-boat proprietors have manifested a disposition
to make compensation to the extent of any fair and reason.
able claims, the existence of which, however, many deny.—
Passages by steam-boats being a mode of conveyance entirely new
—no vested rights can be set up with regard to them. The boys
and sailing-boats which the sterm.boats have superseded, took the
greater proportion of the passengers on board at once from the wharf.
in the manner now proposed. The newly-acquired interests of a
body of men of such inveterate habits, it is contended, cannot be
maintained at the expence of the constant inconvenience, danger, and
suffering of the public, who would rather pay to be abandoned by
them, than have their services at the lowest possible rate, and who,
unless something effectual be done, will go to other places to avoid
them. The navigation committee have appointed to-morrow to
meet, and view the spot at which it is ;proposed the plan shall be
carried into execution.

It has been unfortunate for the lovers of the turf, that,
the sport at Ascot should have been so exceedingly good on ma I
occasion when so laudable a feeling has kept the major part et thus

THE TURF.

ASCOT HEATH RACES, JUNZ 10.

Those who were present last year will recollect the extraordinary
assemblage on the Heath—the crowds collected beneath the Royal
Stand—the enthusiastic reception given to his Majesty—the unpa-
ralleled interest existing on the cup rice, and the general attraction
and excitement of the day. The scene yesterday, however ani.
mated of itself, was of a different and very inferior kind ; the
attendance was certainly numerous, and, to a novice, would doubt-
less seem immense ; but the falling of was very great, not half
the number of spectators being on the race course that were collect.
ed in 1819; nor was the proportion of fashionable, out of keeping.
The stands were filled, but not crowded ; and the aides of the course
showed some dashing equipages ; but the absence of the Sovereign,
and the inauspicious state of the weather, had a most prejudicial
effect, insomuch, that notwithstanding the number of races, their
value, the celebrity of the hones, and the excellence of the running.
the Meeting was one of the dullest ever knot. n for many
years past. It is right to state, that every thing was done by Lord
Maryborough to mike the races attractive, and that they have fully
equalled the most sanguine expectations, as far as the sport is con-
sidered, must be admitted by all.
In one respect this day was similar to the third day last year, %Ir.
in the weather, which was unfavourable in the extreme, the rain
having descended during the whole of the afternoon, so that by the
time the races terminated, the Course was quite sloppy, and most of
the spectators soaked through.
The Jockey Club Stand was full, and the smaller one, at the aide
of it, presented a good sprinkling of the female nobility. In the
list of fashionables we have to include the Duke and Duchos of
Richmond, Duke of Grafton Duke of Portland, Duke of Leeds,
chattild

quis of Tavistock, Marquis of Graham, 1 Jeriaffs kart of Pi.

cluded in the list of the company given in our paper of Wednesday.
The races commenced at one <o'clock, sad finished at five. The
following are correct particulars of the running :

Itol on the winner. Shunila made the running as far as the
turn, and there she ran out, apparently after her trainer, who was
galloping round the turn with her, and whose back she evidently re-
mgniaetr; her chance ended here; for although Arnull contrived to
bring her into the course, he could not recover his lost ground, and
was beat easily by two lengths. The winner was rode by Robinson,

running as far as the distance, where she gave way a little, and was
immediately passed by Day's filly, Lisbeth, and Conciliation. A
severe close run race followed between these three, Day's filly win-
ning by half a length, rather cleverly, and Lisbeth getting the second
place by about a neck.—Fancy was fourth. The winner is as Tull.

The introduction of the above condition was the sole cause of the
smallness of the entry for this race, and will account for there being
so little excitement on it. In one sense, however, it equals that of
last year, via. in the value of the horses ; for, although only ten in
number, they may be stated as worth 20,0001. if their cost price be
taken into consideration ; for instance, his Majesty's four were pur.
chased for 9,600 guineas ; Sir Mark Wood's three for 6,500 gui-
neas, the other making the difference. The performances of 'Lin.
gang have been so contradictory that his running will always create
considerable anxiety; be was bred by the Marquis of Exeter, and
having lost two or three races was sold to the Chifney's for ,300
guineas; he then won the Prendergast stakes, run third for the
Derby (being then dead amiss), won the Craven and Claret stakes at
Newmarket, and the Oatlands stakes and Gold Cup at Ascot ; he
then became the property of Lord Chesterfield, and was beat in the
races that he ran in his lordship's possession; he was then pur-
chased by the King, and was defeated in the Hut race he ran.

Mouse and Young Orion being well laid up, but never getting up

terrific, terminating in favour of his Majesty's by a head, the third
not being more than that astern of Emily.
