The Race Course was again thinly attended. fa running for
the first beat, the Ladies from the adjacent villages were alarmed,
by a few drops of rain falling, that a violent storm was coming
on ; but luckily it blew over, and enabled them to see the neat
heat with greater pleasure. Ili, Royal Highness the Duke of
York again honoured the Course with his presence.

YACHT CLUB.
Among the advantages of this excellent institu-
tion, the one of employing 250 prime seamen by the
Yachts of this club, may be considered of the highest
national importance. Strangers to the delightful re-
creation of sailing, are often appalled by the rude ex-
panse of the ocean, or the exaggerated expenses of a
Yacht appointment ; but when it is known, that in all
weathers, from the gentle breeze to the boisterous
hurricane, Yachts navigate with safety within the
Wight, and find the securest shelter at their general
rendezvous Cowes, the surprise ceases why so many
GentlemeA partake of this fashionable national amu ;e-
-ment, or construct Yachts agreeably to their taste
and judgment. The two classes of Yachts now in
vogue are—the one of 70 tons, costing £1,500 to
£l,BOO, sailed at an expense (Master included) of
4001. per ann. the other 30 tons, cost 8001. sailed at
2001. per ann. These, then, compared with a ba-
rouche, four-in-hand, stand as units in the scale of ex-
pense.

Vntrxrinxt-GARDENS—This elegant place of Surrt
mer amusement closed last night one of the most suc-
cessful seasons which it has known for several years.
The Gardens were full from an early hour, and few
took their leave of them without f-wlings of regret.
ENGLISH OPERA.—The Privateer,a Comic 0-e-a,
.
altered from CUMBERLAND'S Comedy of The Bro-
thers, was revived last night. It is a spirited abridg-
ment, not a rash mutilation, of the original wcrk
connection of the plot is preserved, and those parts
iafthe composition selected to survive the rest in re-
i presentation are in most instances deserving of such
,preference ; and we arc happy to concur in the fa-
vourable decision of the audience that witnessed :Ls
tevival. Of the exertions and talents of the Perfor-
mers, it is impossible to speak too highly.—Mrs.
CuarreßLEy came forward in the part of Viuktta,
while suffering under extreme indisposition, and with
the assistance of that humane encouragement which
a British audience always afford under such circum-
stances, she succeeded in depicting it with truth and
energy.—Miss KELLY'S Sophia was all that the cha-
racter would admit of; and more, much more than it
could suggest to an ordinary performer.—Miss .1.
Brevenson, as Fanny Goodwin, exerted her captiva-
ting graces with the best possible effect she sung
her songs very prettily, and was much applauded.—
Mrs Gnovit' as Lady Dore, acquitted herself with
talent.—Mr. W.S. CHATTERLEY Sir.Beijansin Dove
is one of the best, if not the very best attempt he has
yet made on a London Theatre.—Mr.
Captain iron:idea was eminently successful ; it is a
part which by no means acts for itself. Almost every
thing is left to the Performer, and it is enough to
,say, that the Performer, in the present instance, did
his duty. He sung several comic songs with great
Leifect, and was more than once encored.—Mr. BROAD-
HURST, as Betfield, Mr. PEARM x, as Betneld, jan.
and Mr. Isnnes, as Goodwin, executed many airs in
excellent style.—The House was very full, and the
announcement of the Piece for repetition was received
with every mark of approbation.
A new Comedy and Farce are, it is said, to he pro-
duced at Drury-lane Theatre, almost immediately
after the opening.
INQUEST.—Tuesday an %quest was held in t.!•.e
board-room of Clerkenwell Work-house, Coppice-
liow, on :be body of ,Joseph Wells, aged 30. It ap-
peared from the evidence of the different witnesses
examined, that the deceased had been observed for
about a fortnight before his death, mostly lying
among the old woodenwater pipes in Spa-fields: his
wretched and deplorable situation at length attracted
,the notice of some humane passenger, who had oh-
'served him lying in the same situation for a consi-
derable time, and who on going to him and making
inquiry, found he had not broke his fast for three
1 days, and that he was then so feeble for want offoed,
[and being exposed to the weather, that he was not
able to move, and could with difficulty speak. Infor-
mation being given to the parish beadle, he was care-
fully removed to this workhouse, where be was wash.
ed and cleaned, and put into a good bed. Mr. Spen-
cer, of Islington, surgeon, was sent for, who prescri-
bed every necessary medicine, and every thing pos-
sible was dote for his comfort. All the information
that could be obtained from him was his mime and
age, and that he had been a sailor, and had fought
and bled for his country. Ile lingered until Monday
morning, when he expired. Mr. Spencer gave it as
his opinion, that the deceased died from want ; hut
it did not appear that any blame could be attached
in the slightest degree to the parish. The Jury, after
the strictest examination of the different witnesses,
unanimously retianred'a verdict, that he died, fr con
starvation and scant
An Inquest was also held on Mary Colclough, a
fine girl, four years of age, who was burnt to death,
by her clothes catching fire in climbing np to a
mantle-piece to get an apple, while her mother was
absent.—Verdict, accidental death.
