At the late Windermere regatta, five fail- 
ing boats ftarted from the Ferry, for the fuit 
of colours; the Victory, belonging to Sir 
Jchn Leayard ; the Barton, the Ifabella, and 
Defiance, all belonging to Mr. Curwen; and 
the Henrietta, belonging to Mr. Dixon. They 
failed up to Amblefide, a diftance of about 
fix miles, with a moderate breeze, in about 
thirty-five minutes, and returned down again 
within two hours. The prize was gained 
by the Barton, which came: in confiderably 
firft; the others came in as follow: the 
Hfabella, fecond; the Defiance, third; the 
Henrietta, fourth; and the Victory, fifth, 
The beauty of the furrounding tcenery, 
heightened by the numerous difplay of boats, 
crowded with genteel company, and an excel- 
lent band of mufic, afforded a very pleafing 
and.ftriking fcene. it was propofed and unan:- 
moufly agreed to, by a large party of gentle- 
men and others prefent, that the meeting 
fhould be annual, and Sir Join Ledyard was 
appointed {teward for the enfuing year. In 
the evening a number of prizes were given for 
rowing-boats, which were contefted for with 
uncommon ardour.—The Barton has, it 
feem, an iron keel of 45 cwt. which fuper- 
fedes the neceflity of much ballaft, and 
which, judging from the fpecimen of failing 
afforded at the regatta, promifes to be of con- 
fiderable public utility. This iron keel is 
the invention of Mr. Croiby, mariner, of 
Whitehaven. ‘ 
The work of rebuilding that venerable 
pile, King Edward’s monument, upon Brough 
Marth, in Cumberland, is now completed. 
The prefent monument exa€tly refembles the 
former, in appearance, and is of the fame di- 
menfions, being 30 feet in height ; the only 
difference confifts in a flight of fteps placed 
around it to prevent catile, &c, from injur- 
i 
Cumberland and Weftmoreland.
