PultAir-IX-6.71r DON YACHT CLUB. The ,crushing defeat of our best yachts last year seems rither to :have stimulated than depressed a Species of amusement peculiarly appropriate t o a maritime- people hke ourselves. The u.,eal matches of the season are taking place with as much animation attending them as ever, and the Thames swarms with p!casure vessels of all szes, forms, and rig, which tech and wheel about . through the panorama of our commercial marine, per petually moving up end down the river with a dexterity and a brilliancy at once admirable and surprising. Only a fortnight ago the Royal Thames Yacht Club held its first race for the year, and we had to record how, with a smart gale of wind blowing, the Volante came off the , winner, the Mosquito getting disabled at the Nore, and the two new boats started being both signally beaten. The day was very agreeably spent, and so far the club may be considered to be an excellent mode of taking several hundred ladies and gentlemen within the influence of sea air, reminding them by the sight of the fl ,gsbip at the Nore that Brie tennis rules the waves, giving them an excuse for indulging in a few mild aquatic fopperies, and sending them home to digest as best they may the awful quan tities of lobster salad that they have consumed. Un doubtedly this is something to effect, 'but yacht clubs have more to do now. They have a purpose of great public utility to serve, one which touches nearly the sources of our maritime power, and which therefore they must not be permitted to lose sight of. The science of naval architecture still remains among ns in a moat un certain and unsatisfactory state, and we can best hope to arrive at a knowledge of its true principles by the experimental advantages which yacht builders and yacht clubs place within our grasp. All our yachts, the Volante included, were beaten to sticks. lest year by the America; yet, after the lapse of many months, the Volante is till the best boat in the fleet of the Royal Thames Yacht Club. Fortunately, this club is not the only one that our river boasts of; and, unless its members exert themselves, younger and more vigorous com petitors will take its place in public estima tion. The time has gone by when the welfare of this national amusement can be considered at all dependent upon aristocratic patronage or upon the toadying arta which that dependence too often entails. A practical i ll ustration of this took place on Saturday, when the Royal L ondon Yacht Club held a match—the first of the ,ietapalieuelepasten—r c e h e a r r a atie p r u r ra .l e r o i:ti f 2 g s o e,a a resi o .e vereigna. This club, which already numbers 240 members, has been established On fiaenceofgirtesaetifnaumpeosn, i which t iscon i s s id v e ) i e g d reat that a to expend faci lities for that experimental a b n o d a t i s f t u s l u f y s e t p f h r u e e l s n e e s r m s y s e a d l not d isdain in g yacht archi tectureknowledge in naval he Yacht Club is founded will be r value ot the principles upon which the Royal London class of recognized appreciated. The ex tended, and the spirit of invention is becomes vastly wider surface, and at a greatly stimulated over a diminished cost. The weather on Saturday was certainly very unfa vourable for the occasion, partaking, a s i t d id sure trip character. It rained almost continuously throughout a plea nuously throughout the day, and the members of the club and their friends were anything but a dashidg and gay com pany, as in the Meteor they steamed down to witness the match. Sou-w esters, dreadnoughts. and every variety of India - rubber and oilskin integument formed the pre vailing costume on the occasion, and, so far, there was a sufficiently striking muster of Dirk Hatteraik looking figures, and pilots that appeared prepared to weather any number of storms without allowing their cheerful.. ness to be disturbed thereby. Some thin, light muslin dresses might be detected at intervals, and there were on desideratumeowners nee aereadily rsafford iy th e are t board a few so insensible to aquatic proprieties as to sport umbrellas. The start took place from Erith, in which pretty reach the following flotilla of yachts was gracefully ranged:— Traveller ... ... 10 tons—G. H. Jackson. Julia ... 8 „ —W. Bain. Waterwitch ... 8 „ —W. H. Campbell. Romp ... 9 „ —R. and J. Knight. Valentine 8 „ —B. Wallis. Britannia ... ..• 7 e — C. Legg. • Kitten ... 10 „ —T. Harvey, set. Calliope ... 3 „ —W. Tuckwell. When the signal was given at half-past twelve o'clock, by the Commodore tote tiny little vessels spread their sails like so many lapwings, and away they went down the river, running keenly on the wind, which was coming up to them briskly from the sea. They wire accompanied in their course by many yachts of larger tonnage, and among them the Volante, the Avalon, the Eclipse, the Will-o'• the Wisp, the Marina, the Phantom, the Fleur de Ds, the Frolic, and the Mouse, so that the reader may easily concieve whit a pretty animated scene the match formed. From the outset the straggle for victory lay between the Remp and Kitten. The latter took the lead at first, but did not bold it long. The Romp passing to the windward of her opposite Greenhithe, and manifesting remarkable weatherly qualities, which excited gene's! admiration. While beating down the river against a head wind it was observed that her sails were as flat as a board, and that, notwithstanding the height of her mast, she passed liehtly, steadily, and up rightly along. There was no headlong plunging through the water. but a firmness ot pace which gave her the tell bent fit of her lines. It was then ascertained that her sails were cut upon a new principle, patented by Mr. Gilbert, the seams graduating in such a manner as to produce the effect otealued in the America by lacing. The Lower Hope was the turning point of the race, and its practical interest terminated there, as the return was before the wind, and, therefore, a less effective test of speed; The rourding of the • buoy there took place in the following order:— [PRICE SD. canture of 1,500 head of Gaika cattle on the Thomas River, on the 30th of March.

During these several operations many of the enemy were killed; he is dispersed and flying in scat tered parties, and offered such feeble resistance that no casualty has occurred among the troops. " The troops i occupy every st rong h o ld i n t h e Amato las, and it is mp misible the enemy can reta i n even a footing—so is he pursued in every direction. The Command er -i n -C h i ef is very sensible of the service of the Burghers who have turned oat and aided in these operations, especially those under Commandants Gilfillan, Bowker, Delaporte, Bower, and Plessie.

By a stupid blunder, however, instead of steering Inside the buoy, bhe passed ou'side, and before she could retrieve this tatal mi,take, the R imp had made such progress to wards the winning post that_she was declared the victor. The owner, Mr. Knight, on receiving the purse of sove reigns, acknowledged that his success was due to Gil bert's sails. Notwithstanding the wetness of the day, all who had the courage to attend the match appeared to enjoy themselves thoroughly. The Royal Artillery band, as the weather permitted, played above decks or below for the amusement of the company, and Mr. Gore, the Soya of the river, had as usual provided an inex haustible supply of cold lamb, chickens, pigeon-pies, and lobster salade.

Her Majesty'e steam- frigate Gladiator, Captain Adams, arrived at Spithead this afternoon, at four o'clock, from the Cape of Good Hope kringing the ex-Governor, Lieutenant-General Sir. Hsrry Smith, and steff, Lady Smith, and mails and Government despatcher. The latter were landed yesterday at Torbay, in charge of Lieutenant-Colonel Garvock, secretary- to Sir Harry Smith, who proceeded with them express for London, and the mails were also landed at Torbay. The Gladiator left . Simon's Bay on the 18th of April, arrived at St. Helena on the 270, sailed the same day, arrived, at Ascension May Ist, left on the 31, arrived at St. Vincent's (Cape Verde) on the 13th, left on the 14th, arrived at Madeira May 21, left on the:23l, and made the Lizard yesterday morn ing. She anchored off - Torbay about four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and proceeded for Spithead at thr4 this morning.' Sir Harry Smith's staff consists of Lieutenant- Colonel Garvock and Major Holdich, Aide-de-Camp. The - -:-MrgEera was •to leave the Cape immediately for England with invalids, in charge of Captain Ad disim, of the 2d li?giment. We'aritirformed that Sir Harry Smith considers the coup 4. - grace has been given to the Kafir war by the late operations; but it- would seem by the latest advices from the seat of war that the enemy was as active as ever, for we' 'learn that Colonel Eyre had a desperate action with a strong body of the enemy, in ythicb, we regrit :43d;:aed - IWAhliidginti - Iferfliiired, and several men wounded. Major Tottenham, of the 12th Lancers, has also bad a smart' brush with. the enemy, in which be also lost some of his men and was very,hard pressed by the Kafirs. The reception given to Sir Harry Smith by the colonists on his return to Cape Town must have been most gratifying, as all the papers are filled. with ad dresses lamenting the departure of the ex-Governor, extolling his deeds, his administration of the affairs of the colony, and expressing respect for his person and character. Major-General Cathcart, the new Governor, bad arrived at British Kafraria and commenced opera tions where his predecessor had left off. But nothing can be knoain as to his success in the field for another mail or two. His Excellency arrived at 'King Wil- , Ham's Town on Good Friday, where be bad .a long interview with Sir Harry Smith, who left on the following morning at three o'clock 'for the place of embarkation. On his starting, although dark, the whole of the troops in garrison voluntarily turned out to greet him, together with a large number of inhabitants. The subjoined official dispatches will serve to illus trate the progress of the war since the departure of the last steamer on the Ist of April : "BY AUTHORITY.

CLOETE, co t t .G. " The Coranu m apt, Graham's Toga." " COLONEL EYRE'S REPORT. " Camp on the Kabousie, April 4, 1852. Sir,—Agreeably to my instructions, which I re ceived late at night on the 28th ult., I moved off from Fort Beresford on the 29'.h ult. at daybreak, and reached Hangman's Bush that night, but with great difficulty, being obliged to cat my way for the waggons, there being no road, and the drifts bJng impassabie from the late rains. On the 30th ult. I reached Major Totten ham's camp on the Kabousie. On the 31st I made a night march to the Kei, reaching it by daylight. Pushing rapidly on, we surprised a body of Kafirs, and got upon the spoor of cattle, which took immediately into the deep bed of the Kei. Anticipating the direc tion in which the cattle would probably be drives, I had previously dispatched Major Armstrong, with one hun dred horse (composed of a troop of the 12th Royal Lancers, a detachment of Cape Mounted Rifles, and Armstrong's Horse), with directions to seize a pass. on the left bank of the Kei, near its confluence with the Some. By this pass alone could the enemy escape into the interior of the country from the mountain fastnesses. through which the two rivers force their way near their junction. I also detached a troop of the 12th Royal Lancers, under Captain Oakes, to my right, to recon noitre the country between the .Kabousie and the Somo. In support , of this party, and to occupy the right bank of the Kei, I left the 'remainder of the cavalry under Major Tottenham, and five companies of the. 43d light infantry, and the levies—the whole under the com mand of Lieutenant Colonel Skipworth. With the remainder of my force—viz., 270 rank and file of the 73d Regiment, and one company of the 43d, the Fingoes, and one troop of the 12th Lancers, under Captain Cureton, I proceeded to follow the stector own the bed °Ube Kei. We followed it fig 6ve hem, lon,after tdr -o :9ArlfitjlatiggiatntAttlilLiA4Titt. and resumed the pursuit at daylight on the following morning, the 2d instant. I was soon met by Major Armstrong, who had had a most gallant affair with the enemy the day before (his report I herewith inclose), and who, on his return by the pass I have before de scribed, had seen the cattle, the spoor of which we were pursuing, driven upon an apparently insulated mountain, formed by the bed of the river, and most difficult of ac cess. I immediately detached small parties right and left, and we succeeded in surrounding the cattle. The result was the capture of 1.220 head of Gaika cattle (mostly cows) and 15 horses. The enemy were in con siderable force, and frequently came forward with appa rent holiness, but the moment the troops went at them they fled instantly; and attempted no serious resistance. Our casualties were—one sergeant of the 12th Royal Lancers and one man of the Cape Corps wounded. On the 3d inst. I halted on the basks of the Kei, horses and men being quite done up. This day I returned to Ma jor Tottenham'. camp on the Kabousie, where T was rejoined by Lieutenant-Colonel Skipworth, the report of whose transactions during our separation I herewith enclose. I beg particularly to bring to the notice of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief the gallant conduct of Major Armstrong, and that of the officers and men under his command on this occasion. Major Armstrong was sharply opposed by the enemy on first crossing the Kei, but he forced his way with determination, and afterwards had an opportunity of charging the enemy, which he did most successfully, leaving many dead on the field. I would also bring to the marked atten tion of his Excellency the soldierlike daring of Cap to n, ald2vtahncßedoyal guard, Lancers. n tain ere my com mandedu engaged with the enemy. On the second o ccasion, twoifficece warmly lysrm while following up the spoor of the enemy , he da shed a was This fearlessly across the Kei with only a few followers, and in the face of the enemy, who lined the opposite bank, and wh6 kept up a sharp, bat happily ineffectual fire. I beg also to express my thanks to the following officers:—Lieutenant-Colonel Skipworth, 43d Light In fantry; Major Pinckney, 73ti Regiment, who with his usual zeal and activity pressed the enemy most oppor tunely, thereby insuring the capture of a large portion of the cattle; Major Tottenham, 12th Royal Lancers, commanding the cavalry; Captain the Hon. P. E. Her bert, who judiciously conducted his detachment through a most difficult pass, taking up en admirable position, and also capturing cattle; Lieutenant Gawler, 73d, my Deputy Adjutant-Quarter-Master-General, who ren dered me on this, as on all other occasions during this war, most efficient servicesi_ Lieutenant and Adjutant Reeve, 73d Regiment; and Lieutenant Ramsbottom, of Armstrong's Horse, who kindly offered me his assistance as a staff officer, making himself most useful on all occa sions. I must also add that Mr. Conway's zeal and activity were, as usual, most conspicuous. From Mr. Crouch, also, we received mach assistance._ _ _ " Our total of captured cattle was 1,353 head, and 15 horses and numerous goats. " I ha're, &c., . _ _ " WM. EYRE, Lieutenant-Colonel, 73d Regiment, Commanding Patrol. "Colonel Cloete, C.B. K.H." latiejNie4 - 2E .3, 1852. " Sir,—l have the honour 'Wig - pelt/ t aint yo p u ril that having separated from your column on 'the morning of the Ist inst., with a force of cavalry as per margin,* I proceeded to cross the Mil, according to your instructions. About 300 Kafirs rushed down to dispu'e the ford. I forced my way through under a spirited fire from the enemy. Having gained the high ground on the left bank of the Kei, I halted for two hours. During this time the enemy collected in considerable numbers from all sides. Upon my moving off they follo we d i n rea r on both flanks to the number of upwards of 10G mounted men, and about 400 on foot. After moving some distance I found that they were pressing on my rear guard, and having now got them into tolerably favourable ground fur cavalry, I turned round and charged them with my whole force, and completely routed them. A party of the 12th Royal Lancers charged, under my orders, to the right rear, turned the enemy's flank, exposing their positions in some dry gullies, from which they were driven. The enemy must have suffered severely, and many were seen going away wounded. From the nature of the ground it was impossible to find out the exact number killed. Ten bodies were counted, but I think they must have lest considerably more. They did not again molest rt 4 line of march. " I halted again for some hours on the high ground above difficult pass between the Kei and the Somo rivers. At 1 p M. I proceeded through the pass and met you at an early hour on the morning of the 2d inst. " I proceeded to support Major Pinckney, according to your orders, and having been informed by that o ffi cer that a lot of cattle had passed in the direction of the Thomas River, I followed them up, and captured about 100 head, three miles beyond that river. " I have to bring to your notice the services of the officers commanding the different detachments under my orders, viz„—Captain Digby, 12th Royal Lancers; Lieu tenant Smith, Cape Mounted Rifles; Lieutenant Brink, Armstrong's Horse; also Mr. Conway, the guide, for his seal and activity. " My casirilties are—one private of the Cape Mounted Rifles, slightly wounded; one troop Horse of the Cape Mounted Rifles, and one ditto of Armstrong's Horse, killed by rolling over the krantz coming through the pass.

"Sir,—l have the honour to report for your information that, agreeably to your instructions; I proceeded with a force of three troops of the 12th Lancers, under the command of Major Tottenham, five companies of the 43d Light Infantry, and about 60 levies, on the evening of the Ist inst., to the heights above the Kei, and en camped for the night. Having observed several Kafirs on the hills at some distance off, I was under the impres swn that there must have been a number of cattle in the adjacent kloofs. I therefore proceeded to the spot two hours before daylight on the following morning, and on overlooking the valley opposite to the junction of the Koi and Somo perceived a few herds close to the edge of the bush, a number being driven away in the direction of the Kei. I instantly dispatched a company and a half of the 43d Light Infantry, under command of Cap tain Primrose, 43d, and some levies, in pursuit of them, the remainder of the party having crowned the heights. About three hours after, the party under Captain Prim rose returned, having succeeded in capturing about 150 head of cattle, without meeting with any resistance, al though a number of Kafirs were watching these move ments from the tops of some of the hills. Soon after this I proceeded with the cavalry and three companies of the 43d Light Infantry in search of cattle near the junction of the Kabousie and Kei, but everything seemed to have been driven away. A few shots were exchanged, but without loss on our side. " The following morning I destroyed a number of kraals, and encamped for the night near the junction of the Somo and Kei. This morning I marlchhedve, at day light, and joi ned the camp at Kabousie: Ste., H. SKinvoRTH, Lieutenant-Colonel, " Commanding 43d bight Infantry.

The exertions of the troops in following up the enemy after his expulsion from the Waterkloof and Blinkwater fastnesses, through the AmatolaF, across the K.i, have been marked with much succew, and are of such a character that the Commander-in -Chief congra tubited the army on the prospect of a speedy t en pi n ,- tion of the war, which must result from them, and g i ve permanent peace to the country.

This ship, however, has so nearly ran her time that it is more likely the Daunt less, 33, screw frigate, Captain Halsted, will be the ship seleeted for this service, especially as the officers ware put to so much expense the other day in providing for the reception of Sir Charles Hotham, in the expectation that the ship would be sent from Rio to Rangoon. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY. —A court-martial took place on Saturday, on board the Victory, in Portsmouth harbour, to try William Spencer, a stoker, belonging to the Alecto, steamer (now on the coast of Africa), on two charges—first, for having, on the sth of February last, quarrelled and fought with Norris Potts, now deceased, a seaman, on board the said Alecto; and secondly, for having on that day unlawfully killed the said Norris Potts. The following officers composed the court:—Rear- Admiral Presscott (president), Rear-Admiral Corry, Captains Chula, Martin, C. 8., Scott, Henderson, Robin son, Symonds, Hatton, and Mitson. Mr. Greatham, judge-advocate. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner and deceased had a dispute while washing decks on board, and that a fight followed; that the deceased Norris Potts received on his aide some severe blows from the prisoner that occasioned his death in about an hour and a half after wards. The court found the prisoner guilty; but, as there were several extenuating circumstances the court only sentenced the prisoner to six months' imprisonment in Winchester Gaul. PLYMOUTH, SUNDAY.—Her Majesty's steam-ship Gladimtor, Cytain J. Adams, from the Cape of Good Hope, was off this port yesterday at noon, and signalized to Port-Admiral Sir John A. Ommanney.
