LITERATUR )1, 7 T C 'ND AND OTHER POEMS. By John Clark Ferguson. The success of Mr. Fergwou's former work, "The Pleasures of Music"—a work which, he tells us in his preface, has gained for him the acquaintance of the Prince of Novelists," has encouraged him to Make a secon d venture. The posms contained in this little unpretending volume are of a most graceful and pleasinc , character, anti will add to the popularity of their author. RIDE THROUGH THE NUBIAN DE ',CERT. By Captain W. Peel, R.N. Longmans. It the name of its author in the first instance at tracts attention to this little unpretending volume, the frank and manly tone in which i; is written, and the genial spirit by which it is throughout pervaded, will not fail to rivet the interest of the reader, and to win for the writer very general sympathy and regard. The eight chapters contained in this volume, the brief length of which will disappoint many, are, we learn from the preface, a literal copy of the journal kept by Captain Peel during his travels. " The limit of those travels," he further observe , 4, " was Labeyed, the capital of Kor unfan, where I suffered so severely Sion Saar uud ague that it obliged me to return. I arrived there ' l ° o a after the close of the rainy season, in the pride af health, and confident of succe ss , b u t th ree wee k s te r left, a pale and s i c kly s h a d ow, w i t h all my thoughts brought down as to how I should save my myself."- who was su ff er i ng st ill more severely than " l y s elf:"- These misfortunes are the cause of the abrupt termination of the travels. Instead of selecting specimens from these delightful pages, which abound With anecchres and with information, we advise our reader s to turn to the book itself, end we assure then) t hat, having m a d e t h e acqua i ntance o f C aptain Peel, th at will thank us heartily for the introduction. CATACOMBS OF ROME. By C. Mac farane. R . It is s t a t e d at the l commencement outledge of this little work t hat, besides the Rome upon the earth, there is another R ome under t h e eart h . This mysterious _eati on well deserves attention ; it was dedicated to e t he church, th ere t h e ear l y C hr i st i ans withdrew to ac ape persecution and perform their worship un molested ; t h ere they i nterred their mar t ) re. The eepitaphs and inscriptions found in the catacombs are given at th e en d of the book, which are very i nteres t. g to peruse; on the whole, a very good idea of atte to Subterranea" may be formed from r ea di ng ntively this volume. 41 'IRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. tn llMEs.—w e have all of us been sufficiently read) is Puint out with p a i n f u l m i nu t eness the m i sc h ances ~.'"elt hav e b efa ll en t h ose n i nety gentlemen whe in " 4 6 followed the fortunes of Sir Robert Peel, and gave 1 ,1! the bl ess i ngs o f c h eap b rea d and commercial freedom. m a eY have b een a lm os t es ranch reduced by a couple of c f esti ans as a crack regiment which has served with tstiection through two bloody and desperate cam- Pai gas- Three-fourths of the officers are gone, and the f l ink and file are scanty and disorganized.

Having e .ss rasa cases to sit for very snug counties, n. our which the " vile rabble" is effectually excluded, Err for still an e _ lv . ugger boroughs in which its voice is utterly g!e l ? erless, the supporters of the Derby Ministry have ,pnerally contrived to get re-sleeted. But for this privi ralesee they have had to pay a heavy price. The men, the er e agg regate of human beings, are there, but the prin ?rPl e, the invisible essence which held them together, 4 13 evap orate d , and the attraction of cohesion is dis -BCA lved. A p arty they may still be called, but they have 8 tt batituted names for things and persons for principles, an d await the first rough shake to scatter tLeas abroad !? uni te no more, at least under their present colours. 41 zotectio n was the soul which informed this mass, and ntiless a substitute can be devised as tangible, as level to the meanest capacity, as comprehen,ible by the selfish 'lc d shortsighted among us, the mass is destined to re main soulless. With toe Whigs the principles remain and gather strength, but the men ahem we identify with t he m are rapidly disappearing. Lord Jobe Russell. Lord `ceps:lour, Sir Francis B ir i ug, Sir Charles Wood, and - kr. Labouchero, have indeed contrived to weather the storm, for it would be strange it the veteran statesman of the noise of Bed.'ord, the eldest sou o f t h e D u k e o f Somerset, and tee) of the connexions of our wealthiest merchants, could not find rest for the sole of their foot amid the Parliamentary deluge. But these euccesses have not been purchased without a dismal list of casu,l -- The Parliament which is now nearly , l d completed ete must make up its mind, as best it ma , to dispense with the services of Sir William Somervi Lewis, Sir William Gib.ion Craig, .ISitir. e.aMr Cornewall Stewart, Mr. Parker, Sir John hoMill q . i_e r w, Admiral Sir David Duridas, and last, tu0 4, 4 Mnot. least,llatchell, George Grey. Nor can we say that those who re Sir . hold a position in the eye of the couetry 'shish qualifies them fur the reconstruction of the party thus di,mally thinned and shattered. Lord Jebel Russell, if not exactly magni nominis umbra, is forced to refer very far back, indeed, for popular achievements, and while the Principles of Lis first Reform Bill have every chance of being greatly extended, and the commercial policy which he maintained is sure to be carried cut, he is so far from being able to enlist new support that he cannot even command a personal followieg, or exercise suffi cient influence over the country to obtain the return of his ancient friends and devoted adherents. Lord Grey would never be tolerated by any Government except as Secretary for the Colonies, and iu that position he has become absolutely impossible, nor is it very probable that the nation willever demand the restoration of Sir C Wood to the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer. We think that the elections have pretty well dispelled the fear which :lurked in many minds of a rec tns'ruction of the Whig Party on its old exclusive and dyna,tic principles. While men are entering Parliament without a single tangible Terofession except their willingness to support Lord Derby, others are starting in public life advocating almost all the principles of Lord John Russell, but care fully guarding themselves from expressing any intention of tie,htiug under his leadership. The name of the dead Sir Robert Peel has yet a charm; the name of the living Lord Derby is nil that his party has to cling to; but the name of the great Whig leader conciliates few sllpporters and enlists no proselytes. This is no new tl,ing. For the second lime in twelve years we see the Whig party in a state of disorganization and dtssolu -40)11, and in both cases this result was preceded by a phenomenon of a precisely similar nature. For all seritial purposes there is a complete historical parallel b.nwee n the la 4 years of Lord Melbourne and Lord J. :Itssell. In bath cases the party has outlived its strength, g 3 prestige, and its popularity. Growing narrower and ntirrower as it grew weaker and weaker, the charmed circl e of Whig connexion occupied less end less space in the public eye. In both cases the Government wets content to live on sufferance.

ELECTION SATURDAY AT ETON COLLEGE. On Saturday morning the Bev. Dr. Okes, Provost of King 's College, Cambriciee,at d Vice-Chancellor of that Univereity, arrived at a.OO College, accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Witts and the Rev. Mr. Thring, the posers. They were received by the Rev. Mr. Hodgeon, the Pro vost, the Rev. Dr. Hawtrey, the Head Master, and others of the college authorities. At about half laaa ten a brilliant assembly of shout 300 had collecttd in the upper school t o h ear t h e speeches. The school was fitted up in the same manner as on the occasion of Prince Albert's visit, on the 4th of June, and the com pany had muc h t h e same appearance. Scarcely had the audience taken their coats, and the boys, to the number of 600, assembled in the part allotted to their use, when the Provost, Fellows, Masters, and Assistant masters accompanied by the most distinguished of their guests, entered the school-ro, m. Foremost of all walked the Earl of Derby, who was immediately re cegbised by the boys; and the cry of " Three cheers for Lord Derby" found a ready responic, in the midst of which his Lordship bowed his acknowledgments, and took a seat near to the dais whence the speeches were delivered. His Lordship was accompanied by Mr. Secretary Walpole, Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, Lord Charles Clinton, Mr. W. B. Bayley, and others of the neighbouring gentry and clergy. After the speeches had commenced the Duke of Newcastle arrived, and teak his seat near Lord Derby. Lord John Manners sfter words made his appearance, and joined the distinguished Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, who, as Sir Strat ford Canning, was well known and universally respected et Eton, did not appear re be recognized, or his Lordship would, moat likely, have been greeted with a cheer, on his return from Constantinople. The only new feature in the upper school since last year consists in the addition of exquisitely sculptured busts of her Majesty and the Prince Consort, presented by them to the College. We cannot, however, compli ment the authorities on the judgment displayed in choos ing a position tor the figures of the Queen and the Prince. They are placed above the principal entrance, almost out of sight, and are looking from instead of to wards each other. A bust of the late Earl Grey (by Campbell) has just been presented to the College by the family of his Lordship, and will he placed in the upper school. Th e f am il y o f L or d D enman h ave a l so s i gn ifi e d . their intenti on o f present i ng a b ust o f hi s L or d s hip f or ' the same purpose. The election speeches proceeded in the following order:— Puller, " ed filios et Jugurthsm."—Sailustins. feleathcote, ma., " Coriolanns."—Shakspere. Lambert, " Creon."—Sophocles. Wilder, " Charoloie."—Massinger. Carter, ma., KS., "In 2E,chinem, ex Orat. de Corona." —Demosthenes. Scott, ma, "Richard ll."—Shakspere. Wilberforce, K S., " Pro Milone."—Cicero.

Earl of Lincoln, " Turnus."—Virgilius. Cookesley. me., " Hamlet to the Players."—Shakspere. meesias, K.S., " Duke of Buckingham."—Shakspere. The whole of the sea ches were exceedingly well de livered, and as well received, Sterry and Cookesley call ing forth the most decided marks of !approbation. Evered's most striking passages from Burke'a master piece, delivered in capital style, seemed to attract the attention of the Noble Premier. Cookeeley's very diffi c i scene a tio from n from iloackm—the W e a s dialogue given o on thedelightfully, Rialto Sterry's cultrecitation with Antonio—was a fine piece of acting as well as speaking. The usual banquet took place in the afternoon, in the College-hall, which was d ecorated with ancient tapestry and otherwise appropriately fitted up for the occasion. The beautit'ul model of the College chapel, in silver (the gift of his late Majesty King William IV.), was placed on the centre table. The noble and distinguished com pany present at the speeches, reinforced by numbers who arrived later in the day, were the guests of the Provost and Fellows. Mr. Disraeli was expected, but the Right Hon. Gentleman was not present. The toast of " Her Majesty's Ministers" was drunk with enthusiastic ap olause, and when the Earl of Derby rose to return thanks the ancient hall reverberated with the cheers of the company. His Lordship, in the course of an eloquent and feelirr , speech, alluded to his early days and youthful pressures_ at Eton, and stated that the Cabinet of which be had the honour to be the head numbered no less than eight Etonians. Again the old hall rang with the plaudits of the guests, and it is many years since an election Saturday went off teith so much spirit. We might add that Mathias is the captain of the school, and that the number of boys on the books is 598, being about 6 less than at the corresponding period of last year. In the evening the regatta attracted a large number of spectators to the Brocas, but the attendance was not so large us in former years. The boats' crews, under the direction of the Hon. Mr. Trefusis (captain of the boats), were the sam e , w ith on o or two exceptions, as on the 4th of June. Among the company present we noticed Lord S tat f or d d o R adcl i ffe, w i t h hi s b rother, the Rev. W. Can n i ng , canon of Windsor, the Marq u i s of Drog heda, Sir H. Hoare, Bart., the lion. Colonel Upton, the y. The [lon. A. Chi c h ester , C olonel the H on. C Boyle, M.P., Mr. T. Smith, M.P ., Mr. Antrobus, t h e Messrs. Currie, and mo s t o f t h e resident clergy and entr trip to Surley-h a ll was made, and the customary usual al fresco banquet was discussed, after which the boats re turned i 0 the Brocas, and a magnificent display o f fi re . works termin ate d the proceedings. The vacation corn. mences this Monday) morning, when all the boys, save those etigqge , i in the trials, will leave. The school re opens about the middles of S. ptember.

APPREHENSION OF BROOME --After the close of the trial of Staden and James, on Friday, at Lewes, a warrant was issued for the apprehension of Johnny Broome, one of the persons concerned in the card cheating case at Brighton, for not surrendering to take his trial with the other priso ners. Broome, it appears, bad been seen in the town of Lewes on the day of the trial, and also on the previous after noon,constabulary officer outsirt lie was then traced to a small public-house at the of the evening where he was waiting for the verdict of the jury in the case:Ot the two prisoners.

Mr. Webster was about to leave Washing ton for Sr. Jeho'a, New Brunswick. He purposed con tinuing his tour through that province by the line of the proposel railroad from Portland to Halifnee. It is said that arrangements were being made to place her Ma jesty's steam-frigate Devastation at his disposal for a cruise. The New York Herald, speaking of the rumours re lative to the retirements from the Cabinet, says— " We believe there is no doubt of the resignation of Me. Graham, which took place since be was nominated by the Whig convention to the Vice-Presidency. We also believe that there is no doubt that Mr. Webster has vvithdzawn from the Cabinet, for the whole summer at least', and very likely for good and all. Of the authenticity of the statement on this point we have no doubt; for we hare received intelligence thereof, in the most undoubted shape, during the passage of Mr. Web ster through this city on his return to Boston. We do not believe that Mr. Webster means to re-ent er th e Cabinet, even if he should return to Washington • and we rather think that a grea t ma n y of his friends in 'Mas sachusetts intend to replace him again in the United States Senate—as South Carolina did Mr. Calhoun, and Kentucky did Mr. Clay—in order that be may occupy there a higher intellectual position for the remainder of his days than even the occupant of the White House, whoever may be elected to that position next Novem ber. Missouri, according to all accounts,_ is about re turning Mr. B en t on to the House ofßepresentatives.

Their experience, their intellectual povier,-abeir genius, and their reputation are known to the country, and their opitions — on all difficult national problems which may spring np hereafter will be received with the same veneration with which the advice of Cato was in the Roman Republic, or that of Solon by the Democracy of Athens. With respect to Mi. Corwin, who is now in the West, there seems to be more doubt regarding his destiny. It is asserted positively that he will return to the Cabinet, b u t it h as b een surmised and predicted, with some show of probability, that he cannot remain ' long in that position, with the prospect of certain reve- Wiens which have been expected to spring from the in vestigation now going cn betore a special committee of the Senate on the Mexican claims, or from the trial of Gardiner before a jury of .the people at Washington.

Another steam-boat accident, attended with the loss of 15 lives, occurred on the 13th, near Cleveland. A violent hailstorm occurred at Fulton on the 10th, which destroyed a large quantity of growing corn. It is said that the hailstones were as largo as pigeons' eggs. Property valued at 300,000 dolls. was destroyed by fire at Boston oil the 10th, and several persons were killed. The total number of buildings destroyed by the con fi , gration at Montreal was from'l,2oo to 1,500, inclu ding chiefly those occupied by the poorer classes in the suburbs ef the city. The Quebec suburbs were almost entirely destroyed. It was estimated that nearly 5,000 persons had been render, d houseless by this calamity. The loss was variously estimated et from 3 000000 dolea ouht o pa pers to 4,000,000 dolls. Tho fire originated, it was b elieved, in a baker's shop. The Government has pl ac e d at the disposal of the committee appointed for the immediate br relief of the sufferers a sum of 2.500/.

If this is not stealing, we know not what to call it. While widows, veterans, and employes are dying with hunger, soldiers who are not soldiers glitter in beautiful dresses; while the savages are already at Jalisco and San Luis, and no means for defence are to be found, the capital of the republic presents the farce of a military parade; and while clamour is rife against Congress for the want of resources, the Government throws away 56,000 dollars in making a ridiculous ostentation of its armies.

" An intended pronunciamiento had been discovered at Orizeba, and prevented by turning out the National Guard to maintain public tranquillity. " The following resolutions have been passed by the State of Guerrero, relative to the contract for the n av i. eation of the river Mexcala, a portion of a new contem plated route to California:— "'Art.

" A difficulty of a somewhat serious nature has taken place between the French Minister and the Ale Government. It will be remembered, that t b l i cau ' e ar rangement entered into between the Mexican G oo ment and the English holders of Mexican bond s . r ai n ' latter were to receive as a part of the debt due to them' --e ' the sum of 2,500,000 dolls. from the indemnity No , Mexico by the United States. The money b e r io ' t 0 specie, and in process of payment to the Mexican sun' ' thoritie3 by Mr. Forstall, of this city, the United s tate ' agent sent down for the purpose, the question wen s whether the 2,500,000 dolls, should be taken opt of the country country by English holders without paying duty levied on all specie exported from Mexico. After some discussion on this point—one of importance, f or the payment of the duties would have reduced the Whole turn to 2,000 000 dolls.—the Mexican Government de eided to allow the money to leave the country w i thout being taxed. "It appears, however, that a French "rnmerejai house in the city of Mexico, to whom the M, xi eso Go. verninent is largely indebted, bad the pa} meet u f i ts debt secured by a claim on all the coot , ibuirens re ce i ved from ti ices on sPt.eie exp,,rtrd.

It appears that ho was standing at a distance from the crowd and soldiers when the firing. took place; and he alleges that the only cause given for the firing was some stones thrown by a few women who had been weeding potatoes near the green of Six-mile-bridge, when they saw the voters escorted by Mr. Delmege and a party of„the 31st.

(Sinned) " M. SEYMOUR." THE SAILORS' REVIEW. The following is from a Gibraltar paper of the 7th insane:— • The neutral ground, the ecene of many a mateeavre of the troops stationed in the garrison, from the fre quency of this occurrence generally attracts within its precincts but few -attendants at these military spectacles. A well•lounded OIL dit, however, having gone forth a few days ago, that a battotion of tho 'sister service,' taken from the various ships composing the fleet at pre sent lying in the bay, was to have a field day,' a large number of spectators were drawn to the spot early on Monday morning. There was a novelty /tithe idea; expectation was roused, and people wondered (unpardon ably we must own, on this occasion) whether Ocean's Son,' from the few opportunities he could necessarily have of acquiring a knowledge of and practice in 'Drill,' would. not bear perhaps a semblance—a little wo say —to fish out of water.' But the results of the morn ing proved that Jack has amphibious' qualities, and that, whether required by his' country to serve upon the open sea' or terra firma, he is equally at home upon both, and ready to attend to her call. The morning se lected was remarkably favourable, and the process of disembarkation made an extremely pretty spectacle from the Landport-gate's, whence the men in their neat white dress and straw hats were seen filing along the wharf from their boats, While the celnisurface of the water was broken into a thousand bright reflections by the dip of many a well-timed oar. The diviaions after being collected moved to their position, and received the admiral in line with the' usual compliment. The line was then broken into open column of companies and marched past in qtiick time. The bands of the Bellerophon and Ven geance were in attendance. The men resuming their original position, the colutin was wheeled into line and performed the manual and platoon exercise , which, not withstanding the diffi cu l t y of the word comm ' and l reaching everywhere, from the great ength cf the line, was done in good time, and showed them to b e on terms of.iatitnaey with ' Brown equal with th e so ldi er. The officer commanding the brigade, Lord G eorge Pau let, th en p ut t h e battalion through th e var i ous nianceuvres, forming open column, dircct echellon cf, battalions, and then square, vhvi,h rits b fortiu.ngclitee, advancing i n li ne, t h e dressiog ally p reserved and caused admiration. W e venture to assert that such un i versa l and perfect go o d hamour .fleverre reigned throughout a day's drill; but it was clearly io be seen that their careless glance could easily turn, a t a moment ' s o n o o r tic h e, into the stern fearless expr ess i on eharacteris firm courage which has ever carr i ed everything before e them. The battalion was then broken up and marched to the several places of embarkation, the b an d s playing popular naval airs. Altogether it was an extremely pleasing sight; and many, particularly of the fair sex, saw that morning the Neutral Ground at an hour at which they had never seen it before. We are in hopes that, when the fleet pays ns another visit, we shall have such another field day. ". SPORTING NOTES. No. CCLXXI. TETE PROBABLE FIELDS FOR TO-MORROW'S TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

" The performance of the boat companies, under Lieut. Colonel Davies, has excited much and deserved attention on the part of the public. • " the excellent practice both of the artillery and in fantry, as it could under the circumstances of limited time and means be the result alone of strenuous effort and great application, is worthy of high commendation, and the admiral is persuaded that no year has been more usefully employed than Vae present in military duties since the formation. of the brigade. " The retirement of Lieutenant-Colonel Fincham is a subject of great regret; but he has set an example, and established a system, which are well followed and sup ported by the officers lately under his command. • " The colonel commandant begs to return his thanks to Lieutenant-Colonel Da vies, Majors Edwards, Vinter, and Rice, to the captains, subalterns,' non-commissioned officers and privates, for 'their Xealona discharge of all their duties. He is much indebted to Captain Mould, Royal Engineers, who condescends to act as his aide-de camp; and he is sensible of the attention of Dr. Elli ott, Medical officer of the brigade. He "cannot too highly applaud the indefatigable exertions of Lieutenant and Adjutant Long, whose judicious mode of instruction is greatly to be admired,' and . which . have been emulated by his immediate subordinates, the drill sergeants. " This being the last opportunity which the rear-ad miral will have of, addressing the brigade as such, he bids a cordial- farewell • to every individual connected with it. • • _ "H.

'This being proved to the satisfaction of the committee the Antagonist was declared to be entitled to the cup, and it was ordered to be given up to her, although she did apt come in for a long time after her rivals. The third protest was by Lord de Blaquiere, the owner of the America schooner, against both the Arrow and Mosquito cutters, for her Mejesty's Cap, it appear ing that when those vessels got abreast of Peel Bank, about midway between Old Castle Point and Ryde they fouled each other, which is contrary to the 18th article of the regulations. Lord de Blaquiere, in a most courteous letter to Thomas Chem berleynee Esq., the•owner of the Arrow, di sc l a i me d any wish to d e prive him of the prize which he bad so meritoriously won, bat had merely sent the protest under a sense of his duty to' take care that all the regu lations of the club should be adhered to. The rule states that two yachts touching each ether will both be disqua lified, unless it can be clearly proved to the satisfaction of the committee which is the aggressor.

TERRIFIC THUNDER-STORM. SERIOUS DAMAG . E AT •WA LWORTFI.—MIRA CULOUS ESCAPE OF SEVERAL PERSONS. Last evening the metropolis was visited by a most terrific storm of thunder and. lightning, accompanied by torrents of rain, which literally deluged and burst seve ral drains, and did considerable . damage in various places, but in no locality was tho storm so severely felt as in Walworth and vicinity, indeed, the tremendous peals of thunder, with the powerful and vivid flashes of forked lightning, have not been equalled since the me morable occasion when the Churches of Spitillields, Bt. Martin's-in-the-Fi e lds, and o th e r public edifices were so severely damaged. • • • • • The occurrences on this occasion which are described hereunder . took 'place. about six p!cloek in the even ing, when, during an. awfully tremendous peal of thun der, the:electric fluid struck a stack oaf chimneys, No. 7, Port-street, Walsvorth-common, occupied by Mr. B aco n, a vast portion of which fell into the yard belonging to Mr. Clifford, plumber, of Port-place. The latter observed the lightning, res embiing a large luminous ball, s t r ik e t h e building, which, it appearsd, then passed down: the chimney to th e u pp i s c r room, and after tearing naay the mantel-piece, partially destroying the stove, and injuring various articles of furniture, struck the bed 'upon which lay 'Mrs. Bacon, who' is &bout sixty years of age, and has been bed-ridden for six years. Fortunately it was a feather bed, and feathera being non conducting, the poor woman received no other injury than being thrown violently to the floor, by thich, however, the was _rather severely bruised. From thence the fluid passed into the lower roses, and•Wa3 equally destructive to the walls, pictarres, furniture, Stove, &c., while' the creek was stopped, and the floor strewed profusely with the debris. Each of the rooms appeared iilliSd with blue . flames and smoke, which gave rise to the supposition that the premises were in flames, and resulted in the arrival of the Newington parish and some other fire-engines. Meta the same period a similsr 'accident occurred to two adjoining houses situate at the corner of Peter and Waterloo. streets, also at Walworth-common. These houses are in' the occupation of Me Herds and Mr. Green, a greengrocer.

ROYAL VICTORIA CLUB REGAFT4._ r , ATDL, SA.TIIRDAY NIGHT.—As ITO M emoting in a iformer COMUnication, the annual general m .bg ;Of the members of the Royd Victoria Yacht Club Ilatk piece this afternoor, for the ad :swan of new rat mbers, and for determining on the merits of tae respective pro tests that had been sent in against two or three prizes being given up, that had been sailed for and claimed by yachts during the regatta. In two of those instances it will be seen that the protests have been fatal to the re tention of the priz:?s by the supposed winners of them. There was LI very full attendance; the commodore of the club, Mr. G: Holland Aclaers, in the chair. The" first protest taken into consideration was against the 501. cup, time race, sailed for by small class schconera not exceeding 100 tons, on Tuesday, being peorerly claimed by the Bianca, 30 t oes, b y M r. C . F . Webster. The race •was protested against by Mr. Thomas Rutherford, the 'owner of the 'Princess Olga, on the ground that the Bianca did not carry a boat curing the race, us required by the 14th article of the sailing regulation of the club. .To this a counter-protest had been sent ia, -that two men left the Princess Olga after the preparatory gun for starting was fired. With respect to the foreseer of ..tbeee, it was deemed a fatal error, ind invalidated her claim; but as regarded the latter, being two men sent by the commodore himself to os i s t in getting the vestaJa ready for starting, it was decided that it was not a case that came under the 22d article,.and it was consequently. overruled. A new ob jection, however, to both the Princess Olga and the Vestal was raised under the sth article, which requires in all matches, whether op en to other clubs or nos, the entrance money must be paid to the secretary or to the tailing committee previous to starting. Mr. Ru t. h o his entrance mo ney unt i l an h and Mr. Bowles, th e owner of the eurrfo after , e o r m the i t omitted e e to , y Vestal; did net pay his until this morning. As the rules had not been compiled with, the committee had no al ternative but to declare the reed' on the whole t o b e vo id , and to order that the cup should be railed for again over the same course without time, on Monday next, the en tries for it to clove at midnight this day. By this ar rangement severalnew yachts may be brought into the race. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, SATIIRDAr. Her Majnety and his Royal Highness Prince Albert rode out on horseback yesterday afternoon.
