Buoys off Cowes (about 15 s ) The two first heats Were
closely contested by love's vo,A, of Yarmouth, nod CAVITE'S,

in second. •
About 30 Gentlemen's yachts (of the Yacht Chtb), and ad
immense number of other vets. It and boats of all descriptions,
crowded the busy and interesth g scene, which was not a little
increased by the presence of the Priure Regent's yacht (the
Royal George), which came dews from her anchorage at Spit•
head, having on_b:oard Earl Stances, Mr. Ttrnt:i.e,atit! a large
party of distinguished persons, friends of Mn. and tie: I Inn,
CHAILLIUS Peer:.

the Marine Hotel (Lord (iestreitsst in the Chair:;, mere a
most sumptuous entertainment was provided for them and
their friends. _

On Friday this aquatic ray scene was recommenced by the
yachts sailing in procession rand the buoy of the liramillz, and
back to ('owes roadstead—a p'easing sight.
A sailing match then took plac.i between the five prime fleet
vessels that had won first priz ss in the course of the last 'five
years—for a grand silver tankard, given by the town of Cowers..
which was won by the Pallas, Limn, of Yarmouth winner
of yesterday's prise;. An Ordinary and a Hall, at the Marino
lktel, whiz h were oth numerously atitmdeif, , cl ;sad the 4cond

Mysore, of Nettlestone ; the quart cup, by Str.war.r's vessel;
the pint, by Mt mums's. The rowing match for purses was
won by Lord GRANTHAM'S galley. The close of !hi, truly na-
tional spectacle was such as to give earnest of unprece4euted ie
terest to the next anniversary.

Saturday sennight, the Bricklayers of Carlisle
struck for an advance of wages from about 18s. to
225. per week, which they obtained almost imme-
diately—in consequence of the great number of build-
ings now going forward in that city.
Yesterday, as Mr. HOGARTH, of Bu►:hill-row, was
coming out of WtHTF►r.LD's Tabernacle, after Divine
Service, a fellow picked his pocket of a valuable gold
watch and seals, which, on being detected, he threw
up in the air. He was taken into custody, and says
he is a journeyman baker.
MODERN REFORMERS!--Tuesday, at the Salford
Quarter Sessions, James Mahon was convicted of steal-
ing- a coat, a shirt, and a pair of stockings, the pro-
perty of his master. In his defence, he stated, that
he was a lb:former, and that the prosecutor having
two coats, both of which were better than his OW%
he had a natural right to one of them!
