DOVER, OCT. 5.

Yesterday our Races took place, the first that have
been here for several years. The day wis rood, arid a
vast concourse of people were collected on the ground,
Which was particularly well suited for the spectators,
as the whole Course was capable of being seen from
any part of the hills that completely surround it. The
first race started with three horses for the Town Plate,
and won easily, in two heats, by Captain Hamilton's
gray horse, after a good race.
At our Regatta, a dispute occurred about two boats going out of
the course, and the first prize was given to the third boat.

CONINT•GARDIN THEATRIL-The School for Scan
Id was performed here last night, and was-admirably
played. Messrs. 'CRIME, FARRIER, FAWCETT, Joan,
and BLANCHARD, are so identified with their respective
characters in the play, that any present mention of their
merits would be superfluous. %Twain was tile Joseph
butface,, andlse supported the character with good dis-
eretiorr intellect. 'The revived afterpiece, The Castk
of Sorrento, followed. Miss Cawsx's singing and act-
ing gainid; the same favour with the audience as on the
former ntgfir.
Thursday night an Inquisition was held at the Spotted
Horse, Shoreditch, touching the death of James Elmes,
a Locker-up at the Custom-house. It appeared that on
Wednesday night, the deceased, being in liquor, was
going down. Shoreditch, accompanied by a friend, when
' reeling against a waggon, be was thrown down, and
the wheel passed over his body. Medical aid was in-
stantly.obtained, but he expired in a few minutes. Vet-
diet. Accidental Death.
' M. RoCAPVERTE, Mexican Charge d'Affisi-res, has
just received the official intelligence that 500,000 dol-
lars were lying, all ready packed, at Vera Cruz ; and
alms, that his Goverment advise him that a further re-
mittance was preparing, and a part of which would
very probably be in time to catch the frigate; at all
events, not less than 500,000 would be sent by the
above conveyance. M. CAMACHO will come passenger
in.the Hussar.
Extract of a private letter from Algiers, dated Sep-
tember 9 By the time you receive this, you will
have heard of the depredations committed by the Al-
gel Inc cruisers on flags of Powers in amity with the
Regency. The first was upon a large Dutch ship, laden
with logwood, for English and American account, from
Campeachy, bound to Marseilles, and detained for want
of a Mediterranean pass. No sooner had this vessel been
released, through the united efforts of the Dutch, Ame-
rican, and British Consuls, than in comes an lonian ship,
bound from Zante to Leghorn, with a cargo of Valencia
wool, &c. detained for the same cause, thus taking the
bull by the horns at once. R. M. THOMAS, Esq. our
Pro-consul, sent in a remonstrance to the Government,
which was productive of the desired effect, the Dey
having not only ordered restoration of the ship and
cargo, but indemnity for demurrage, loss of market,
and every other damage resulting from the detention.
Two Roman prizes have lately come in-:-one a very
rich one, laden at Genoa for Civita Vecchia, supposed
to be on Genoese account. It has, however, been sold,
notwithstanding the remonstrances of the Sardinian
Consul. We have beard from Tripoli, that a strong
report—nay, almo.t an authenticated ore—had arrived
there of poor Major LAING, and all his party, having
been murdered by one of the tribes in the desert called
Twarnies. What a melancholy catastrophe, if true!
He married the Consul's (Colonel WARRINGTON'S)
daughter the day before he set off on his expedition."
A. PRETTY RIDDLE 1 will consent to all you de-
sire," said a you'll female to her lover, 44 on condition
that you give me what you have not—what you never
can have, and yet what you can give me." What did
she ask him for ?—A husband.

'Twere bondage sweet, of thee possess'd,
Smile, gentk maid! and I am blest!
