There are no arrivals of Foreign Mails this morning;
and, indeed, fir some days past, their contents have
scat cely been worth transcribing.

Private letters received from Ferrol state, that a 74
ship cf tl e line, and a 50 gun frigate, with several
smaller vessels laden with all kinds of stores, were on
the eve of sailing for the Ifavannah.

Caraccas Papers to the 13111 July, and Sydney Papers
to the 28th May, have been received, but they supply
no news of consequence.

Extiact of a le:ter from a passenger landed at Ports-
mouth yesterday from New York, and posted up at the
North and South American Coffee House :

POSTSCRIPT TO HIS LETTER.

" I do not know it may concern Any of my friends in
Lmdnn to know, that the day before we left New
York (the 29th of August) intelligence had arrived
there of the disembarkation of from five to 6000 troops
from Ilavannah, on the Mexican coast at Panuco, from
u Spanish fleet which remained off the coast. A sloop
of war was ordered to sail immediately for Mexico;
rumours added much to these effects, but I do not think
it safe to repeat them:'

The additional French Papers of Thursday are sin-
gularly barren of political intelligence. The Journal des Zkeats
states, that one of the Packet-boats plying between Corsica and
France had been visited by an Algerine cruizer, and that a vessel
Conveying a great number of Greeks to Marseilles, bad been sunk
at a short distance from that city, by a corsair from the same
Regency. If the latter statement be true it will be difficult for the
French Ministers, notwithstanding their friendly disposition to-
wsrds the Ottomans, to avoid taking serious notice of so gross an
insult and offence against the French flag. It is not impossible.
therefore, that should similar acts be reiterated, the Turks, or at
least their Dependents, may at length bring down upon themselves
the vengeance of a Christian Power, which would have continued
to slumber, bad insult and desolation struck no other victims than
dune who struggle and bleed for the Christian Faith In Greece.

The tendency to imprOvement in the manufacturing
• districts, so fu from baying sustained any check in the tonne of
the week, has fortunately manifested no slight degree of seeders-
tion. 'The woollen trade, which all along maintained itself better
than the, cotton, hal proceeded in the race of improvement ; and
' even the cotton manufactories are sensibly becoming more active
The warehouses of Liverpool are already considerably relieved;

and the Branch Banks having by.dtle time most seasonably come
into operation in Lancashire, will assist the manufacturers by an-
Win them to avail themselves of the demand thus created.
From the Caraccas Papers of the 12th July, we haye
received from Cumana the holarador del Uronoco, of the-
10th June, in which we observe the following passage,
in reference to a resolution passed in Valencia on the
29th April:—." Many assert, that even-now, in spite of
the explanation given us of this and subsequent events
which have taken place in Caraccas, a certain air of
mystery is to be observed, and a ve;l is drawn over
their true character, which ought to be removed for the
satisfaction of all parties, inasmuch as the public tran-
quillity and repose demand it ; this obscurity may indi-
cate the hypocrisy and bad spirit which animate those
who direct these events."

THE MARINE FESTIVITIES AT DOVER,
Stresuiss if, Pm o'CLocx. P.n.

This moment the Regatta is ended, and a more bril-

liant scene was scarcely ever witnessed. There were at
least 10,000 persons present, many of them of high rank
and distinction, assembled on the Marine Parade and
Shores, and on the Pier. The Sweepstakes of 45 sovs.
which excited so much interest, was won by the Deal
Galley, beating the Diver Galley by 40 seconds only,
although she lost an oat in the contest. Tt.e Folkstone
Boat, which was the favourite at starting, soon lost
ground, and mild not recover, and many heavy bets
were consequently lost by her backers. The weather
was most beautiful, and the Bay covered with yachts
and sailing boats ; amongst which, Sir Godfrey Web-
ster's superb vessel, the Scorpion, dressed with colours
of every kind, was conspicuous. The Prizes were dis-
tributed to the winners by Mrs. Jenkinson, the Lady of
the Lieutenant• Governor of Dover Castle, who, in the
most pleasing manner, congratulated each on his suc-
cess; adding her best wishes that the gratification af-

forded to the Public this day, rosy be renewed by the
repetition of the scene next par. The ball this evening
is expected to be crowded to excess.

WINDson, SEPT. 22.—Yesterday afternorm and this
day his Maixery left the Royal Lodge, about three o'clock, in his
pony phaeton, accompanied by the Marquis of CONYNOHAM, with
his usual attendance of outriders, for bis customary drive in the
Great Park. His NIAMITY continues in the enjoyment of good
health and spirits, occupied during the fore part of the day with
public business, enjoying an airing mostly of three hours' duration
in the afternoon, and honouring his suite with his company at din-
ner in the evening. There are no visitors at present at the Royal
Ledge.
The Duchess of KENT, accompanied by the Princess
FIODOILIC, and attended by the Baroness de STAMM' and Captain
clamor, honoured the performance of Before Breakfast with their
presence on Thursday evening, at the English Opera House.
Letters were sent off from town yesterday to meet
the Duke of CLARENCZ at Brussels, where his Royal Highness is
shortly expected to arrive, front Meiningen, at which latter place
the Royal Duke has been staying, accompanied by his Duchess, on
a visit to the Duchess's mother, the Duchess of MaININOEIC

The Duke of YORK took his usual drive yesterday
afternoon in his open barouehe for about two hours. The Loan
Citar.ert.t.oa visited his Royal Highness yesterday afternoon. Sir
Hume HALroan and Mr. M`Gaztroa visited the Royal Duke

yesterday.
Mr. KRAUS, the King's Messenger, was sent off on
Thursday evening from the ,Furrlgn Office, with despatches to Mr.
Secretary Camino, at Paris.
Despatches were sent off yesterday from the Foreign
Office to Sir CHAIM'S Saone, our Ambassador at the Netherlands;
also to Lord lhoostrlato, our Minister at Stockholm.
A French Journal gives the following description of
Mr. Secretary CANXING ;•••-•" His exterior is highly prepossessing,
his eyes vivid and expressive, his forehead bald, and of a character
from which our modern physiologists would draw the most Batter-
ing inferences. The smile which lightly compresses his lips gives
In his whole countenance an air of railery, conformable to the idea
which we entertain of him from his public orations."
The Lord Melville steam packet arrived at Calais on
Thursday evening, after a dreadful passage from London of 2$
hours. Among the passengers on board was Mr. E. G. WAicermo.
The Adelphi Theatre in the S:rand is in high bustle
of preparation fcr its opening, and by the first week in
October, will present several new, and, as we hear,
strong claims to the public favour. The new Proprie-
tors Messrs. Terme and YATES, have been unremit-
tingly employed to strengthen their well regulated
establishment in every department. The Vocal, we
understand, is likely to receive some eminent additions,
and they have fortunately been able to arrange the
Corps de Ballet on a very liberal and extensive scale.
To the effective list of the old favourites, IVRENCU,
T. P. Coos e, who has been gathering laurels in Paris,
the Proprietors themselves, and the clever and fasci-
nating Mrs. FITZWILLIASI, several new claimants will
be introduced upon the boards of this popular theatre.
RAMSGATE, SEPT. 20.—At half past two, P.M. on
Monday last, the Committee of the Trustees of this
Royal Harbour went in procession to the foot of the
Cliff, where stone stairs have been built instead of the
decayed wooden ones, for the use of the masons, artisans,
and labourers employed in the public works of the
harbour. Sir Wsi Cosurts went round in his carriage
to the head of the stairs in Nelson Crescent, when he
alighted, and the ceremony of opening them com-
menced. The men, all cleanly attired, the masons with
new white aprons, were drawn up on the stairs, and vast
crowds of the inhabitants were assembled. The Hon.
Baronet addressed them all as Chairman of the Board
of Directors on this occasion, stating the regulations
under which the stairs would be open to the Public, and
concluding his speech with a loyal cry of " GOD save the
Kam !" which was received and repeated with loud
cheers, after which the assemblage dispersed, and the
men were regaled with a pot of Messrs. Barclay and
Perkins's best double X a piece.
Saturday morning, Mr. Carpenter, surgeon, of O:tery
Sr. Mary, was out shooting on Cotleigh Farm, with
Mr. Thomas Yelverton; they were both its a coppice,
when Mr. C. left Mr. Yelverton, and went towards the
hedge to go into Fluxton Farm. He had not left more
than a minute, when Mr. Yelverton heard the report of
a gun, and immediately atter a deep groan. He ran to
the spot, and saw his friend falling at the opposite side,
of the hedge ; on going there he found Mr. C. with his
feet upwards against the hedge, and blood gushing
from a wound in the upper part of the breast, towards
the left shoulder. He took the deceased in his arms,
who looked at him, but was unable to speak, and died
almost instantly. It is supposed that in getting over the
hedge the gun which he carried accidentally went off,
and lodged the contents in his body. An Inquest was
held by Isaac Cox, Esq. the same afternoon, and a ver-
dict of " Accidental Death" returned.

SYDNEY, (NAM.) MAY 26.—Saturday the following
Bush Rangers received sentence of death : Mathews,
Brady, Pstritk, Bryant, Goodwin, M.Kenny, Gregory,
Tilly, Brown, and Hadgretts. Four were executed yes-
terday, and this morning the remainder.

EDINBURGH, SEPTEMBER 21.
—.ow—

ORANGZ RIOT.—The influx of Irish, with their igno-
rant and turbulent habits, has long been felt as a serious
grievance in this city, and the old inhabitants of the
Cowgate particularly complain of the weekly riot which
takes place on Saturday night in that formerly peaceable
place. la these contests some hundreds are said to be
arrayed on opposite sides. This disposition to disorder
is farther inflamed by animosities political and religious,
which the Irish bring with them into this quiet country.
They are formed, it appears, into Orange Societies,
which are the objects of deadly animosity to the other
side. A disgraceful riot took place between eight and
nine o'clock on Tuesday night, on the Dalkeith road,
between these hostile factions. It appears that a party
of sinteen men (accompanied by two women) belonging
to the Orange Society in Edinburgh, had been deputed
by that body to proceed on Tuesday to Dalkeith, for the
purpose of forming a similar association in that place.
On their returning home in the evening, they were met
by a large body of Irishmen, armed with sticks and
bludgeons, about two miles from Edinburgh, when the
conflict began, and after a violent struggle some of them
were knocked down and severely hurt. Six men were
brought to the infirmary last night ; one has got
his arm broken; two are severely cut about the head
and face ; the others are more slightly wounded.—
Twelve men were apprehended, and lodged in the
Police Office on Tuesday night, on suspicion of being
concerned in this riot.
