WATERLOO tt EGAT'TA.

It ii

In commemoration of the Battle of Waterloo his
liciyal Highness the Loan MOH ADMIRAL gave a very
splendid Regatta yesterday, on the river Thames. For
this purpose the Ltd Mayor.granted the use of the
C.ty Navigation Barge, which was towed down from
Kew on Tuesday morning and was moored off White-
hail Stairs. At an early hour yesterday morning four
of the City Barges Were brought up the river, and sta-
tioned in the following order—the Lord Mayor's on the
right of the stern of the Navigation Barge, the Mer-
chant Tailors' on the left ; the Vintners' on the right cf
the head., and the Drapers' on the left. The men belong-
ing to the different barges appeared in their various uni-
forms. The barges displayed their lull complement of
standards, and were under the direction of the Lord
Mayor and Captain Woolmer. The arrangements were
the same as those adopted on similar occasions at Ve-
'dice. We believe this is the first time any thing of the
bind has taken place in this country since the reign r f
Charles 11. The Navigation Barge was chosen on this
'occasion, on account of its great size, being 146 fei t
song, and 19 feet wrde on the deck, which was entirely
'covered with an awning ; the Royal Standard was
hoisted at the mast-head, a Union Jack at the bowsprit,
and the City Ensign at the stern ; she was also com-
pletely dressed with signal flags; at the stern of the
vessel was a shallop, from Woolwich, containing the
Trinity Band, and at the head was another boat, in
which was the Band of the Ist Regimentof Foot Guards.
A short time before two o'clock, the Admiralty Barge
arrived, having on board Admiral Sir James Whitsi.ed,
Lady Whitshed, two Misses Whitshed, and Mr. Croker,
who immediately went on board the Navigation Barge,
communication with which was established by means of
platforms from the four barges already named.
About half-past two o'clock the Duke and Duchess
of CLA RENCR, the Duke of Sussex, the Princess Au-
CUSTA . the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, the • Princess
SOPHIA MATILDA, and the Duchess of SASE MEININ-•
URN, arrived, and were followed shortly after by Prince
LIOPOLD. Their Royal Highnesses were received by'
the bands playing " GOD save the King," 86 Rule Bri-
tannia," and •' Britons strike home." There was also
a. discharge of cannon on the Lambeth shore.
The company (which amounted to between 400 and
500) continued arriving till about four o'clock, from
Somerset House Stairs, where boats bad been stationed
ter their conveyance by command of his Royal Highness.
ilnen after the Duke arrived the Regatta commenced. The.
Prize, were contended for by. the following watermen—

MIN. COLOUII. bill. COLOUILL
Hoary Norris . Scarlet William Robins . Pink
William Fish . Purple F. Norris . . . Green
David Rid . Light Blue James Colcomb . Yellow
They started from Waterloo Bridge, rowed round a boat moored
eilf the House of Commons, down the Middlesex shore, round a
boat moored off Somerset House, and up through Waterloo Bridge,
and again round the boat at the House of Commons. They then
returned down the Middlesex shore, round the boat off Som,liet
House, and up through Waterloo Bridge to a boat with a flag
moored off Whitehall. The three first were Scarlet, Light Blue,
and Pink.

This heat ended at a quarter before four o'clock. Shortly after
the Duke of Clarence conducted his Royal Sister, the Princess
Augusta, to the State cabin, and Prince Esterhuy conducted the
'Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Sussex the Princess Sophia
Matilda, and Prince Polignac the Duchess of Clarence, and the
Duchess of Saxe Meiningen. The band then struck up " The
Roast Beef of Old England."
Tables were laid in all the barges (except the Vintners'). The
refreshments consisted of the choicest delicacies, including pines and
other fruits in th.tgreatest abundance. The wines included Charn-
pager, Sauterne, Claret: and most of the other French and Ger-
man ones. Nothing could exceed the regularity with which every
thing was conducted in this department.
At haltpast four o'clock the Duke of Wellington arrived, at-
tended by Lord Arthur Hill. His Grace's arrival was hailed by
load cheers from the populace,who thronged the shores of the river,
be... Wes thus who were in boats. The Band struck up " See the
Cootoering Hero comes." His Grace was received on board the
Marasant Tailors' barge by the Commander of the Forces, and was
thence conducted by Captain Spencer (the Secretary to the Lord
High Admiral) to the Duke of Clarence, in the state cabin of the
City Naviption Barge.
After the dcierune the second beat commenced. The three first
meet in the former heat started for the first, second, and third pilau,
rowing the same distance as in the first beat. The men came in
in the same order u they did on the previous heat, Norris on both
omissions being considerably a head. Captain Woohner then hailed
Ns three victors, and also desired the three unsuccessful men to
ail* on board the Navigation Barge. The company formed an
avenue, through which the men passed, in drder to be presented by
the Captain to the Lord High Admiral. who presented Norris with
ten sovereigns; Fold with six • and Itobbins with four; and also
very liberally presented the unmet:m*4ml candidates with one sove-
reign each. The men afterwards partook of refreshments on board
the barge.
About half past five o'clock, the Duke and Duchess of Clarence
look their departure in the William and Mary yacht boat, and were
received by the people with long continued huzzas; about the
same time most of the Royal Family took their departure in the
Admiralty Barge.
The Duke of Wellington left about a quarter to six o'clock, in a
six eared cutter' rowed by young Noblemen, who landed the Hero
si Water* at Whitehall-stairs. The amateur boatmen took a
their Naas when his Grace alighted. The Duke was received with
Iced cheers.

DREADFUL CATASTROPHE.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM EDINBURGH, DATED

JUNE 16, 1828, HALF PAST TWELVE O'CLOCK.

" Yesterday being the Sacrament at Kirkcaldy, the
Reverend Mr. Irving was to preach in the evening sit
six o'clock, for his father-in-law, when, a minute or two
before he entered, the gallery gave way ! The number
stated to be killed (as might be expected) is various.
By a litter from Mr. living, seventeen; by a Gentle-
man from the neighbourhood, thirty-three; and by a
Gentleman who was in the church, with three sisters,
and who lay a considerable time before extricated from
the awful mass, thirty-five; this last person further
states, that the lives lost by the falling of the gallery
were only three, and the remainder by suffocation.—
The scene in the churchyard was awful—parents re-
cognising their children lifeless corpses, and in one in-
stance a mother and two daughters lying together
dead."

ANOTHER LETTER, SANE DATE.

Last night at six o'clock, a tremendous crowd con-
gregated in the church of Kirkaldy, to hear that extra-
ordinary character the Rev. Edward Irving. He had
net entered the church, however, and thus his life is not
among those that are gone. The galleries of the.church
fell—thirty-two were taken out dead, and upwards of
one hundred shockingly bruised. There being no boats
across the Firth last night, the news did not reach this
till this forenoon ; but a Gentleman this afternoon in-
forms me, he saw twenty taken from the ruins, and that
of the wounded, eight died this forenoon, thus adding to
the list of killed. The anxiety of friends here this day,
to know the names of the sufferers, is beyond descrip-
tion—whole families having been exterminated by this
calamity.

GRAND DEJEUNE.

The Duke and Duchess of ST. ALBAN'S gave a grand
dcjeune on Monday, at their villa, Holly Grove, which
was attended by nearly four hundred of the 'taut ton,
among whom were—

The Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Cumberland and Sussex,
Prince Leopold, Prince and Princess Polignac, Prince Puckler
kluskaw, Prince Cemitelli, and mast of the Foreign Ambassadors,
Ministers, and their Ladies ; the Marquis of Bute, the Countess
of Guilford, and the Ladies North ; the Earl and Countess of
Tankerville, the Earl of Chesterfield, the Earl of Harrowby, Lord
Deerhurst' lord Castlereagh, the Earl and Countess of Abingdon,
and the Ladies Bertie, Lord and Lady Peters and Miss Howard,
Lord and Lady Normanby, Lord and Lady F. Beauclerk, Lady
Stepney, Lady Caroline and Miss Dundas, Lord Norris, Sir Ed-
ward and Lady Antrobus, Sir Coutts and Lady Trotter, Sir 'ltobt. •
and Lady Gardiner,Sir John, Lady, and Miss Paul. Sir Roger
and Lady Greeley, Lady and Miu Knighton, Sir F. Burdett, Lady
C. Bury, Colonel Fitzclarence, Colonel and Mrs. Hughes, Colonel
and Mrs. Lindsay, Sir Thomas and Lady Farquhar, Sir Charles
and Lady Cockerel', Lady C. Buggin, Colonel Hill, Colonel and
Mrs.Long,Mrs. and Miss Rothschild,Mr. and the Misses Nash, &c.
The Company began to assemble about two ticlock,,
and at four, Breakfast, which was laid is eight rooms;
was announced. During Breakfasr,lis Royal High-
ness the Duke of Sussex, in a most flattering and con-
descending manner, proposed the health of the Duke
and Duchess of St. ALBAN'S. The Duke of St. ALBAN'S
modestly returned his and the Duchess's thanks, and
mentioned how happy he was, surrounded by his illus-
trious guests, and dear filen& and relatives, thegreater
part of whom were present at his marriage. He said
be would, if he could, have revived an old custom of
claiming a flitch of bacon at Dunmow; but, as he
could not do that, he begged the Duchess, as a mark of-
his affection and regard, to accept a silver fruit basket,
on which was engraved a flitch, .with the blowing
lines, which his Grace repeated remarkably well, to the
gr eat amusement of the Royal and distinguished Party :
" In love connubial, formed to live and last,
This gift records a blissful twelvemonth past;
We claim then; boldly claim, thy flitch, Dunmow,
First of the blest, who keep the Marriage Vow."
The DUCHESS said, she wished she could answer the Date in a
proper manner, and though she bad spoken in public on former
occasions, she could not do so on this; but, in return, she begged
the Duke's acceptance of a six-oared cutter, called the Falcon, in
allusion to his elks of Grand Falconer of nglandintmediately
afterwards, the boatmen, dressed in yellow silk and green, the livery
of the Duke, with their oars, and the steersman with his fag, made 1
their appearance in a Conservatory adjoining, in which the "
radian Boat Glee," with many other Soap, were then 'admirably
sung by Mr. Beaman Miss Ssurnxis, Mr. and Mrs. Kitrerrr, '
Miss Gams?, Miss GC:WA ILD, the Misses Caws; Mr. VAUGHAN,
Mr. Lana, and others; with which every one was highly delighted.
The morning exhibited a constant succession of amusements, dis.
persed in various parts of the grounds. At some distance from the
house, Russian, Spanish, and German Ballets were danced in a tent
erected for the purpose, near to which others amused them..heal
with archery; the intervals were enlivened by the Military Auld
and Bugles. The whole concluded with Quadrilles and Wilk:lea,'
in a temporary room erected near the house, which was ilkitiddated-;
and at the close of the day, the ground assumed the appearance of
Fairy Land, from the number of variegated lamps suspended from
the trees.

Soon after eleven o'clock the company retired, much delighted
with the hospitality of the Noble Host and Hostess.

The accounts from Montieal state, that the weather
had been cold and chilly to an unusually late period of
the season, so that, with the exception of a few dry and
elevated situations, very little had been done towards
the labours of the field, and a late seed-time was anti-
cipated. The cold weather, however, had been favour-
able to the manufacture of maple sugar, which bad be-
come so very abundant that the price in some parts of
the country h d fallen to the moderate rate of twopence
per pound.
The Glasgow Herald contains a letter from the island.
of Coll, in.sehich it is stated that on the 29th ult. a boat,
with twenty-six passengers, from the island of Tyree to
Mull, struck against a rock and sunk, by which acci-
dent twenty-one persorts out of the twenty-six perished;
the surviving five were, by the exertions of one of their
number (a noble swimmer) placed upon pieces of the
wreck, where they remained from four o'clock, P.M. till
nine o'clock, A.M. next day, when they were observed
by a patty of fishermen. The following are the names
of the sufferers :
John Maclean and sister.

Hector, John, and Mary Cameron, brothers and sister.
Charles 2/41Lean, Mary AtDonald.
Jean Campbell.
Mary Sinclair.
William MsLean and spouse.

Donald and Mary td.Leao, brother and sister.
Catharine Galbraith, Makoim Whines, brother and sister:
Alexander Rainy.

Alexander Cameron.

Ned bf,Dooald and daughter.
}lithe:to only five of the bodies have been found.

A truly remarkable circumstance occurred this sum• I
mer to a fisherman belonging to Milford Haven. He
was fishing with lead and line near the ruins of Benton
Castle, when a conger eel caught the bait, and the line
being only calculated for small fish, it soon broke; part
of which, and the lead (weighing about six ounces), the
eel carried away. Three weeks afterwards he was oc-
cupied in a similar manner within a mile of the place,
when be was again assailed by a conger, which on
pulling up he Woad to be the identical one that had
robbed him on a former occasion, for there was the line
And lead attached to it. with which be must have beep
tormented the whole time. The hook had not been
swallowed, but, as is customary, bad perforated the
lower jaw.—Carmarthen Antrim,.
