A short time since, a boy named Pickett, about ten years of
age, of the parish of Wroughton, Wilts, went to live with a
brother at Croydon, in Surrey ; after being there for some time,
t. disagrement took place, when the boy started, and walked
all the way from Croydon to Wroughton, a distance of ninety-
Eve miles, with only twopence in his pocket, with which he
purchased a penny cake and a pint of small beer, having no
other sustenance on the road.

COWES, AUGUST 24.
Our Annual Regatta this year has been more than usually
splendid. The fineness of tite weather on Monday and Tuesday,
induced a great number of persons, from all parts of the Island,
as well as from the other side of the water, to attend ; indeed, so
novel and pleasing a scene is but seldom to be witnessed, there
being no situation in this country so well adapted for an Plea-
tic amusement of this kind. On Monday, after the review of the
whole of the pilot vessels belonging to the Island, which occu-
pied the whole of the morning, the rowing match took place,
and was well contested ; the boats being stationed in a line off
the Parade, and opposite to the King's 'louse, on the signal being
given, proceeded to the westward, round a flag-boat stationed
between Cowes Castle and Egypt-house; thence to the eastward,
round a flag-boat stationed in Cowes Roads, off Old Castle Point,
and returned back to the starting boat, which course they went
round three times. The boat first in the last time going rounds
was the Elizabeth, belonging to E. Jerkins, entitled to seven
sovereigns : the second boat was the Ilarriet, John Later, en-
titled to five sovereigns ; and the third boat the Augusta, Robert
Miller, entitled to two sovereigns.
Tuesday, the Sailing Match, patronized by the Members of
tl.e Royal Yacht Club, took place. About half-past twelve
o'clock, the following vessels started, on a signal being fired
ft.:tit the Resolution cutter, stationed off Cowes Castle, viz.—
'I he Cumberland, 25 tons, belonging to Mr. Thomas Hughes ;
Charles and Helen, 23 tons, belonging to Mr. George Rats.:y ;
the Ant, 51 tons, Mr. Samuel Summers; the Accommodation,
24 tons, George Judd ; the Sons of Commerce, 51 tons, Edward
Stevens, junior; the Nancy, 27 tons, Loring Cork; the Favou-
rite' 27 tons, John Caws; and the Anna and Maria, 24 tons,
D. Ellyett. The course pursued was the same as that of last
year, which they went round thrice. The vessel first in, the
last time going round, was the Cumberland, entitled to thirty
sovereigns; the second was the Charles and Helen, entitled to
eighteen sovereigns ;• the third vessel was the Ant, entitled to
twelve sovereigns ; and the fourth vessel was the Accommoda-
tion, entitled to ten sovereigns.
YARMOUTH, AUGUST 24.
- -

Our Races on Tuesday and Wednesday presented an increased
display of fashionable equip :ges, amongst which were those of
the principal families of the county and neighbourhood. The
first day's sport was but indifferent: the Gold Cup, value lOngs.
was woo by Mr. liaison's Lass heating Major Wilson's Rotter-
dam. The Sweepstakes of 20v. each, and lOgs. added, was
won by Mr. J. M. Fellows's Yarico beating Mr..Utting's Mary ;
and the Sweepstakes of lugs each, and 20p. added, was won by
Mr. Cay's Hazard beating Mr. Postle's Dymoke and Mr. Jary's
Jack Randal.—The second day, the Members' Plate of Fifty
Pounds was won by Mr. Scott's Euphrates heating Lord Dun-
wich's Maoris. The first heat of this race afforded excellent
sport, being won by a neck only. The Ladies' Plate of 50
was won in two well-contested heats by Mr. Villiers' Tanais,
beating Mr. Rush's Waxy. Mr. J. M. Fellows's Yarico started
for this Plate, but bolted out of the course immediately after
starting, and was consequently distanced : the rider was thrown,
but fortunately received no injury. A Bye Match for £5O be-
tween Mr. Cay's hazard and Mr. lining's Mary finished the
best day's race ever remembered at Yarmouth: the first heat
of the match was declared a dead one, by the Stewards, the
second was won by the mare only by a length, and the third
heat was declared in favour of Hazard, in consequence of the
rider of the mare being thrown by some person improperly
crossing the Coarse at the time : the rider received considerable
injury from the fall : the mare took the river and swam across;
she was ov,rtalen by a man who followed her in a beat, and
brought back the sante way. The balls and ordinaries each day
were fully attended, and a subscription was entered into and
tkllrd fm a gold cup, for next year, value l CO guineas.
