but the company present were very happy, and kept it up with
great glee till morning.

GREENWICH BOAT RACE.
There was a famous rowing match on Monday, between four
expert watertnen, who were distinguished by the colours orange,
blue, green, and yellow. The first prize was a very handsome
wherry ; the second, five pounds." There were goals at two
miles distance from each other, the boats rowing from one to
the other, till the match was completed. The contest com-
menced at eleven o'clock, and terminated about six in the even-
ing. The coursed were as follow:
No. 1. No. 2. No. 5. •
Yellow Blue Yellow
Green Yellow Blue.
Blue Green
Orange
The first course was to select the three best ; the second the
two best from the remaining three; and in this course the Orange
was run foul of by a large collier, and was thus rendered inca-,
pable of continuing the contest. llue and Yellow being the only
ones now remaining, rowed vigorously from one goal to the
other three times. Yellow was first the whole time, and on
finally reaching the prize-boat, the winner leaped into it ; and
Blue arriving aeon after, Tug secundus also entered the boat,
and shook hands with his more fortunate opponent, amidst the
applause and acclamations of the surrounding multitude. There
was Music on the water, and the guns were continually fired,
which rendered the whole interesting and gratifying to the im-
mense crowds assembled on the occasion.

Letters from Constantinople of the 18th ult. repre- 1
sent the city as perfectly tranquil. The Turkish fleet,
which had gained immortality by its barbarities and
crimes at the unfortunate and defenceless Island of
Scio, had at the latest accounts arrived at Tenedos,
where it was to be joined by a fleet from Egypt, and
after taking troops en board, was to proceed to
Patras, with the view of renewing its atrocities.—
At Constantinople it was reported that the Greeks
had declared their resolution of sacrificing the
garrisons of Napoli di Romania and of Patras, as
soon as they fell into their hands, notwithstanding
orders to the contrary had been issued by the
Government at Corinth, and every exertion was ac-
cordingly used by the Porte to supply them, and also
the fortresses of Motion and Coron, with provisions.
The Greeks, however, are now too powerfal and too
v, ell appointed to dread any injury to their cause,
which the few troops that the Turkish fleet may
transport could occasion them. That part of the
world is now lost for ever to the Ottomans, and a
free and enlightened empire will soon appear, unless
the Emperor APIXANDUR and the Holy Alliance take
it under their r,pecial protection.

ARCHERY.
At a moment when the public mind is so much occupied with
everything that can contribute to the hilarity of the propitious
visit of our Sovenuon, the following letter, respecting the cos-
tume of the Royal Archers, will not prove unacceptable. It was
contained in one to a Gentleman in Edinburgh, stating, " I have
sent you the old Royal Archer coat belonging to my father,
which I hope will be taken care of; also a copy of an old letter
regarding it, which may be interesting."—Caledonian Mercury.
" To re. 1.. or S. XSQ-
" G--, 6th November, 1777.
" Dear M—, few things could give me greater pleasure
than to hear of the revival of the Royal Archers. Archery is a
manly and agreeable amusement, and associates the best of the
kingdom together. I lose no time; in acquainting you that my
archer coat is still preserved, and shall send it to you immedi-
ately. It is pretty odd if my coat be the only one left, especially
as it was taken away in the year 1746 by the Duke of Cumber-
land's soldiers. But Miss G—, of thinking I
would regret it, went boldly out among the men, and recovered
it from them, insisting with him that it was a lady's riding habit ;
but putting her hand to the breeches to take them too, he, with
a thundering oath, asked if the lady wore breeches? They had
no fringe, only green lace on the coat • the knee buttons were
wore open, to shew the white silk puffed out as the coat sleeves
—the garters green—the officers' coats had silver lace and fringe ;
in place of the green silk, white thread stockings as fine as could
be got. All wore blue bonnets (the racers velvet), tucked ep
before, on which was placed a cocked* of green and white rib-
bon by turns, in the middle a 85, Andrew's truss.
" The cockade was placed before, intim middle of the bonnet,
which was wore scrogg'd, or down upon the eyebrows; the bon-
net edge orpnerted with a green ribbon tied behind, and hanging
down some inches, the bonnet cut or slit behind, to make it sit

quite at home. The barrio commenced before one o'clock, and
was soon decided by a stunning blow at the start. Belcher and
Harmer seconded Cabbage, and Tom Owen and Josh. Hudson
picked Parish up. Betting was 6t04 on Parish, who was the
heaviest man.
ROUND I.—Cabbage bit short and was parried, but he made
another rush and placed a right-handed blow upon his adver-
sary's eye, which lashed it. Parish retreated, but his man
floored him by a heavy left-handed blow upon the throat, which
made his lips quiver, gave his eyes a convulsive roll, and it was
seemingly all up-3 to lon Cabbage.
2. Pariah made play by bolting in, when he hit Tway at ran-
dom, and was hit again and thrown.
3. Parish made some Line parries ; seemed to be recovering ;
made a good stand in a rally, and was then thrown.
4. Cabbage went to his work with much gaiety, but he was
well parried, and received a serious injury on the arm by the
parry from Parish's elbow. Parish was again thrown.
5. Pariah was hit to sleep with the right band, and then
thrown with great dexterity.
In the 6th and 7th rounds be only stood up to be slaughtered,
and a very proper interference took place, to avoid any chance
of a worse ending. The fight lasted six minutes only.
Parish never recovered the stunning hit in the first round, and
his head was kept in a dream in the subsequent ones. Cabbage,
although a blinker, with one eye quite shut up, is a heavy !lice ,
and proved himself too much of a man fur his adversary.

Hampton man (Jibs Holt). and the Pea-soup Gardener. The
Hampton man won it with some good receipts. Pea-soup was

also over-weighted, bib he fought with much gaiety, and was the
least punished of the two.
Jace RANDALL.—The sporting world will regret to hear, that
the above-named hero is at present confined to his house, in con-
sequence of a disagreeable accident which befell him a few nights
ago. Ile was standing on the first floor landing-place in his own
house, when by sonic accident he fell forwards, and rolled to the ,
bottom. His face was shockingly disfigured, but notwithstand-

SPARRING, IN SCOTLAND.
TROD AN EDINDULON !Arta Or SATURDAY.
The lovers of the fancy, we observe, are to have a treat this
day, and every day next week, at the Pantheon. Cooper, whose
quiet and respectable demeanour here has gained him many
friends, has got the assistance of the " ould one," Richmond, and
the " out and out" Turner. The latter has never. been seen
here ; and from the celebrity of his fights with Randall and Mar-
tin, and his having been the first to beat the invincible Scrag-
gins, as he was then called, we have no doubt the amateurs,
will turn well out.
EXTRAORDINARY FEAT.
Lord Emmy has gained his bet of 1,.500 guineas, that he
would ride 150 miles, walk ten miles, shoot 40 brace f grouse,
and walk ten miles back, all in 24 hours; which he performed
in twenty-one hours' and shot forty-nine brace, being nine brace
more than his number, and in three hours less time.
MONIFIETH RACES.—AUGUST MEETING, nes.
Thursday, the following Prizes were run for over the Bud-
den Course:

CHURCH PATROATAGE.-

The character given of the Priests by Isarmi,who
says they ate "dumb dogs, and cannot bark; greedy
dogs, and never have enough ;" is very applicable to
our own time.. While poor Curates in the North
and West of England are starving on paltry stipends
of thirty or forty pounds a-year, and doing the
drudgery, perhaps, of two distant Churches, prefer-
ments are heaped on the friend, of Ministers, or the
Cadets of some noble family. A striking instance
of the shameful extent to which this is carried, oc- .
curs in the person of the Rev. HoGii PERCY, who
has lately been promoted to the dignity of Arch+
deacon of Canterbury. This "fortunate youth" has,
we believe, no other claims upon the honours and
riches of the Church beyond the fact of his being
first cousin to the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, and
yet we find him receiving, in various ways from it,
a sum of £6,000 a-year. We are not aware of all
his preferments, but the following list, as far as it
goes, is accurate. He is

LITERATURE.

Mrwonts of CnanLes BROCICDE4 Baoww, the American Novelist
Author of Wieland, Ormond, Arthur Mervyn, &c. with
Selections from his Original Letters and Miscellaneous
Writings.—By WILLIAM DeNLAI., *lvo.
Notwithstanding the contemptuous sneers of the
Edinburgh Reviewers at American literature, the
prejudices against it are now subsided, And their in-
quiry, " Who reads an American book ?". may be
answered—" Every person of good taste who can
get one." The favourable reception the literature of
America has met with in England, is principally
owing to Mr. BRowN, the American Novelist, and
WASHINGTON lavtrin, gentlemen whose literary
talents would do honour to any nation. Mr. BROWN,
who died• at the early age of thirty-nine, has left
several clever novels, which we are happy to find
have been reprinted in this country; but if no other
evidence of his talents existed than are to be found
in the letters and fragments of this volume of his
Life, we should pronounce him a man of a superior
mind. We know not any English writer with whom
he can so properly be classed as GODWIN ; and we
could scarcely pay him a higher compliment did we
want to praise, where we only seek to decide correctly.

Mr. OUNLAP'S Memoirs of BROWN are well written
and highly interesting, as they trace the progress of
genius in a man of extraordinary intellectual attain-
ments, and of great delicacy of sentiment.

By the New Vagrant Act, qfficers, or any alter
persons, are entitled to a Reward of live Shillings for appre-
hending offenders under that Statute, to be paid by the Over-
seers of the Parish in which such offenders may be apprehended.
Prostituits being included in the Act, large demands are making
fur rewards for their apprehension, and the Poor-rates are likely
to be much increased.

DRURY LANE TIICATRE.—The whole of the inte-
rior of this Theatre has beets pulled down, even to
the bare walls, for the purpose of constructing the
area assigned to the audience. The boxes, in future,
are to hold only nine persons instead of thirteen, and
there are to be family boxes, but not private ones.
It is hardly possible to form a probable judgment of
the intended alterations, but it may fait ly be said,
that the Public will derive much advantage from them
in the essential convenience of seeing and hearing.
A NEW PHlLosoivitEit !—They write from Pavia,
that the Steur MOSATE, Professor in that city, has un-
dertaken to prove, by anatomical reasoning, that all
the diseases of n►ankind proceed from their not
moving on alljOurs, but wa.ki.ig erect on theii legs!
This new doctrine, however, has occasii,ned so great
a disturbance, as to oblige the Protessoi to ;mike his
escape from Pavia; but whether he ran off on all
fours is not stated !
A respectable Gentleman, of the name of Pritchard,
died lately at Portsmotith, Virginia, in an attent to
imitate the S:►vtouß, I.s.y fasting forty day,.
.He died
on the twenty-fifth day if the trial. In his tatioual
moments he was a pious and worthy man.

CONVERSATION BETWEEN Two HIBERNIANS.—.
" Can you tell me where I'll find Sitfork-,tieet ?"—•
" Is it Suffolk-street you want?"—•' Ye-, I want a
cousin of mine who lodges there."—" Their you'll
not find him ; he's gone away."—" Do you know
where?"—" Indeed I do not."—" Well, show Suf.

" I can't do that thing."—" Why so '"=" Suffolk.

A few days since, an old house, w hich stood at the
corner of High-street, Athlone, suddenly gave way,
and buried three unfortunate creatures beneath its
ruins. They were,' however, extricated in a short
time, but in a most mangled manner. A little girl,
one of the sufferers, died in the course of the day;
the other two, a man and woman, still languish in the
greatest agony.
