CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Continued quietude pervades the general discount Market, and the rates remain unchanged. The Ellora, from Alexandria, has brought £1,321; the China, from New York, £79,800; the Bavaria, also from America, with £16,990; and the Glendower, from Melbourne, with £31,000. The laalf-yeirly meeting was held to-day of the English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered Bank, Mr. T, W. Watson in the chair. The report was unanimously adopted, and the dividend, in accord ance with the recommendation of the directors, viz., at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, was declared payable. In consequence of the increasing business of the bank requiring further capital, it wes agreed to issue's,ooo new shares, of £2O each, to be offered at par and pro rata to the existing shareholders. The accounts from the various manufacturing districts for the past week have been generally of a more satisfactory character. There has been a more active inquiry for both cloths and yarns at Manchester. The woollen trade of Leeds, Brad ford, and Huddersfield has exhibited symptoms of improvement, consequent upon the demand for winter goods. Business in the hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and Nottingham has continued moderately active, and a slight improvement has been experienced in the hardware districts of Bir mingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton. Two O'CLOCK. The Paris Three per Cent. Rentes, this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, opened at 66f. 70e.; very fiat.

The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mine pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.2 k per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 23 17e. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 3-10ths per cent, dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.5 f per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg The course of exchange at New York on London in still in a very iluc uating state, the latest quotation of the exchange being about 144 per cent., and the premium on gall is about 31i per cent. Some gold has been received by the last packets. A St. Petersburg letter in the Cologne says : " By an order of the day, Prince Nicholas of Oldenburg, a relation of the Emperor Alexander, to whom he is aide-de-camp, and colonel of a regiment of dragoons, has been removed from active service, from illness. The Prince is, however, in excellent health, and is now in Germany with his young wife. His recent secret marriage with a Russian lady named Bularel has greatly irritated the Imperial family of Russia, and led to the withdrawal of his command." The Courner de la Drome annonnces that the harvest is finished in the plains of La Valloire, and that the crop is most satisfactory both as regards quantity and qua lity, The hay crop is also good, but the artificial grasses are suffering for want of rain. Symptoms of oidum have appeared in some vineyards, but not to any great extent.] The Academy of inscriptions and Belles •Lettres, in its last sitting, awarded a prize to M. Felix Robiou, pro fessor of history at Napoleonville, for his essay on the in vasion of the Gauls in the East, and the history of their settlements in Asia Minor, under the name of Galatians. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN AMERICA. " Manhattan" says :—The Catholic Church in all parts of the United Ste' es will go into mourning on account of the death of Archbishop Kenrick, of Baltimore diocese. That is the oldest in the Union, and the highest in rank, although that of Archbishop Hughes is ten times more im portant. The latter should be made a cardinal.

CLIFTON SUSPENSION BRIDGE.—The temporary bridge continues an object of great attraction to large numbers of visitors from all parts of the kingdom. During the pas. , week the workmen have been engaged in raising the heavy masses of iron which the saddleplatere, girders, &c., are constructed, and painting and preparing the links for the permanent bridge. Some of the anchorage plates have arrived from the works of the contractors, Messrs. Cochrane, of Dudley. They weigh nearty three tons each, and there will be three of them to each set of chains. These plates will be firmly imbedded in the rock at the bottom of the anchorage shifts. All this portion of the work, on which the men are now engaged, results in scarcely any perceptible progress, the greater part of it being carried on underground. 53 I 25} 41 661 f 1131 13 771 7 Ni}} THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 27, 1863. MARKETS—This Day. MARK LANE. The country markets held on Saturday were firm for wheat, and prices advanced ls. per quarter. Barley, oats, beans, and peas, supported previous rates, with a moderate demand. In flour, sales progressed somewhat slowly, yet the quotations ruled firm. Adyices from New York state that Ithe export demand for wheat and flour was moderately active, and that con siderable quantities of produce were on passage to London and Liverpool. The Continental markets are generally flat. Small supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad were 15,629 quarters of wheat, 1,628 barley, 17,012 oats, 173 beans, 45 peas, 4,42 D maize, 116 sacks and 14,140 barrels of flour. Fresh up to this mcrnirg's market the receipts of home grown wheat were on a very moderate scale. Nothwith standing the increased firmnese in the ti ade in the country markets held at the close of last week, the demand both for red and white samples was in a sluggish state. Compared with Monday last no quotable change took place in the currency, factors being indisposed to press sates , but many (Afars were made at a reduction of is per quarter from this day se'nnight. The heaviness was caused by the favour able change in the weather for harvest operations. The market was well supplied with most descriptions of foreign wheat. Generally speaking, the aemand ruled in active, and the amount of business transacted was on a very moderate scale, at previous quotations. In floating cargoes of grain a fair business was done on former terms. There was a parcel of new barley on the Kentish stands, in but middling condition. With old and foreign produce the market was scantily supplied, yet the inquiry was far from active, at previous rates. Malt changed hands slowly. The currency, however, was unchanged from Monday last. The supply of oats on offer was moderately good. No change took place in the value of any description, but the demand was decidedly inactive. Beans were in limited supply but slow request at late rates. Peas were steady in price. All descriptions, however met a slow sale, notwithstanding that the supply on offer was very moderate. There was a parcel of new hog peas on sale. The supply of American flour on the stands was tolerably large, and the demand ruled inactive, at late rates. Town and country made qualities met a slow sale, on former erms.

The bankrupt was described as of Nicholas-lane, City of London, and Kingston-on-Hun, merchant and shipowner, trading under the style of G. C. Pearson and Co., and th s was a meeting for adjourned examination. The accounts are very voluminous, and the following is a summary of the balance-sheet: — Creditors unsecured, £1:5,330; ditto, holding security, £147,421. Liabilities on bills discounted, £C8,490.

The assignees taking into consideration the circumstances did not feel it their duty to oppose the application. Mr. Lawrence, for one of the creditors, who was also one of the prosecutors, suggested that the case should stand over until the return of Mr. Commissioner Goulburn. His Honour, however, considered that after what the bankrupt had undergone, and he had passed cn his accounts before he was indicted, he was now entitled to his discharge. Order made accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCB—This Day. MARLBOROUGH STREET. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE THROUGH ILLNESS.—A young woman named Ann Cook was charged b e f ore M r. T yrw hi tt with attempting to commit suicide at the Serpentine, Hyde park. From the evidence of Gorge Lane, a private of the 60th Rifles, it appeared that while passing through Hyde-park the previous evening, he was informed that a young woman had thrown herself into the Ser pentine. H e i mme di a t e l y jumped into the water and rescued her, she being at the time out of her depth. The young woman said she was very sorry for what she had done. Mr. Trywhitt having told the young woman that she was much indebted to the soldier, tsked whether any one connected with her was present ? The mother of the accused stepped forward, and said that her daughter had been suffering from a diseased chest and poisoned finser, and she had not locen able to give satisfac tion to her employers, and this had preyed on her mind. She would take her daughter home and take care of her. Mr. Tyrwhitt inquired whether the young woman had ever attempted anything of the sort before, and the mother said she had not. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after addressing sane kind remarks to the young woman, gave her up to her Blether, THAMES, SINGULAR FRAUDS ON SROPXETER S . — EIIen Callahan 22, Ann Dewly, 30, and Ellen ieridan, alias Sullivan, with other aliases, 23, who all re4 sed to give th e i r ad dresses, were brought before Mr, partridge, charged with committing frauds on shopkeepers. The prisoners are all natives of Ireland, and kept up a continual clamour. They have bdn going about the dis trict with a fourth Irishwoman occFsionally, for some ti me , and the modus operandi of this fenAlo gang of swindle rs i n a small scale was described by M r . George Pound, a beer seller, at the corner of Patterson dr.ret and Charles-street, Stepney. He said the prisoner Callahan came into my shop by herself. She asked for a bottle of lemonad e , and tendered a five-shilling piles in payment. At the same time h e as k e d me to give her sixpences in change. I put down 9 sixpences gad 3 pent© on the coun ter, deducting from the dollar the Price of the lemon a d e . The prisoner asked me the price of the bottle of lemon a d e , and on my answering that it waB 3d., she said, " I won't have it," and put down the change I had given her on the counter, but instead of 4s. 9d. Mar only returned 3s. 9d., and walked out o f the shop. The other prisoners Dewry and Sheridan, and another womal joined her. I knew I had been swindled of a shilling, acd followed them until I met a policeman, and gave them foto custody. One of the Irishwomen made her escape. 011ahan here exclaimed, " I am guilty of stealing the shilling, I picked it up oft the counter, because he left it there.'' _ _ _ ... - Mr. Pound—She cnly gave — me3B. 98. when I returned her the ss. piece. Francis Toy, greengrocer, o f 33, Clarke-street, Stepney, said the three prisoners and another woman came into his shop, Davey said, " Will you serve me with 31b. of pota toes F" He weighed them, and the first directed him to put the potatoes into Callahan's apron, and then said, "Stop a minute, let them stop on the scale," and gave him a crown piece. She asked him for all sixpences in change. He had not got sufficient sixpences, and gave her four six pences and 3s. in change. He notated the whole of it into her hand, and said, "Now, I have got to take lid. for the potatoes." Davey then said she N otated a half-crown piece for some of the silver, and put (low) 46. on the counter, and he told her there was only 45., and she asserted that was all he had given her. He ordered her to put the shilling she had in her hand on the counter, and she did so, and at the same time took up a sixpence. Ile seized hold of her left hand, recovered the whole of his change, and said, You vagabond, you want to rob me.'' He turned all the women out of the shop, and while doing so one of them stole a large cucumber. Sarah Murdle, sister of Mr. Thomas Murdle, baker, 32, Clark-street, Stepney, said Callahan came into my brother's shop and asked for a loaf, She gave a five shil ling piece, and I gave her 4s. 6d: in silver and 2!d. in coppers. The prisoner said she could get a half quartern loaf any where for 3d., and demanded her five shilling piece again. I gave it to her, and she only returned to me 3s. 6d. in silver and the half-pence. Mr. Murdle came into the shop and demanded the other shilling, which she had in her hand. It was returned, and she then wanted the loaf again. I refused to let her have it, and she left the shop. Henry Lewis, No. 203 K, said he took the prisoners into custody. They had all been in custody before, and had given much trouble to shop-keepers. The tour Irish women, one of whom escaped from him, had been plunder ing and swindling tradesmen. Mr. Partridge—l shall convict all the prisoners for trial Take the depositions, Mr. Bowdler. ROASTED ALITE.—A melancholy case of empiri cism was last week brought before one of the cor rectional tribunals of the west of France. The accused is an herb doctor, who was then charged with having a short time previously literally baked a woman alive in order to cure an attack of rheumatism from which she llad long suffered. The cure for this disorder, practised by the Sieur Lenoble " with success upon his own father," was to put his patients, lying in a bed of reeds freshly plucked from a river, in a baker's oven till their couch should be reduced to power with the heat. The husband of the woman whom Lenoble last cooked deposed to her having, when shut up an hour in the oven, complained that her side was being burned. Th e quack ascended into the chambre ardente and applied some leaves to the burn. He had hardly descended wh en t h e patient complained. of another burn, The same remedy was no sooner applied to it than the woman Cane said that her physician "must remain with h er i n the stove till the rheumatism would be baked out of her." She then cried that she felt herself ill from head to foot, on which Lenoble assured her that it was nothing, for that if sae wanted to be cured she must endure all the suffering it was possible to inflict on her. After a long i n t erva l o f s il ence, which struck the quack as being very strange, "seeing that the woman chatted to him during the application of the cure," he resolved to draw her out of the oven. She was then senseless. Vinegar and reed roots were then applied, but without effect; and next morning the unhappy woman died without having in the meantime shown any sign of consciousness. Lenoble was condemned only to pay a fine of 50f. and to six months' imprisonment. SPORTING NOTES. The races at Southampton, Winchester, and Notting ham last week had no effect on the betting for future even t s , with the exception of the increased support awarded to Anfield for the Goodwood Stakes. The Nottingham Meet ing introduced us to nothing better than the Clown and Garotter among the two year olds, but both these horses showed a great improvement in looks, and the form of Lord Hastings's youngster must be considered first-class, for he got second in the Nottingham Nursery Plate with Bst 91b, giving the winner (Inverness) 291 b, and the third (La Belle Feronniere) 201 b, and as the latter managed at Stamford to get close to Cceur de Lion at 61b, Garotter will be worth watching for his future engagements, though the fact of his being of the blood of West Australian will always stop him over a long distance. Lord Hastings, who came of age on Thursday last, was in luck a; the meeting, for he managed to win a couple of races with Garotter,and the Brigade Handicap with Tippler, and the latter has proved to be a useful horse to his lordship since he got him at Ascot. Lord Stamford's luck, on the contrary, was dead out, for he was only credited with one race, and that was by the aid of Revolver, who seems to like the course, as he was also successful for the Handicap in the Spring. Dulcibella's true form was at last exposed, and like the mrjority of " bottled-up" horses, she failed to fulfil the expectations formed respecting her, and the race she tried for ended in the two three-year olds who started getting first and second, the winning honour being achieved by Erin-go-Bragh, who turned out to be the best Cliff's stable could oroduoe, and their non-estimation of his chance is proved by the long price offered against him at the start, though he luckily proved to be one of a lot against whom his owner accepted " four monkeys" the previous week, Had Blithfield, my selected, been better ridden round the last tarn he would have landed the prize to a certainty, for he lost fully half-a-dozen lengths there, and to add to his misfortune, one of his plates came off just within the distance. and he was nearly thrown down, so that it is some thing wonderful that he should get within half a length of the winner after all. At Winchester Molly Carew made her fifth appearance this year, and though she looked as if she had done no work for a month, she managed to beat Hengist, who had been tried at home to give Becky Sharpe 10Ib, so that her form must still be looked upon the best as that has been exhibited yet. She un fortunately met with an accident on returning from the course, by which the fleshy part about half-way between her shoulder and stifle was cut through to the bone, and this will prevent her showing again in public for the re mainder of this year at least. Among the lot she beat last Tuesday was Eastminster, a son of Newminster out of Cal cutta, who will do better whenever he runs thoroughly prepared. The Goodwood meeting commences to-morrow with one of the best programmes that has ever been issued. The list extends to no fewer than thirty-three items, spread over Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. There are twenty-six horses nominated for the Lavant Stakes, the best amongst them being Durham and Crytheria. Lord Zetland will have no difficulty with the Gratwicke Stakes with his high-bred Zapateado, as also the Four Year Old race with Piccador. There are 73 horses entered for the Stewards Cup ; but to analyse the merits of those likely to take part in the affray would be a sheer waste of time. I will only select a few, one of which may furnish the winner —viz., Muezzin, Keane, Bionde la, Cheerful, and Dolphin. The list for Wednesday also extends to eight races, includ ing the Goodwood Stakes, the Findon Stakes, the Draw ing-room Stakes, and the Goodwood Derby, to all of which great interest attaches. The starters for the Goodwood Stakes will be selected from the following : Yrs. st. lb. Maid of Masham filly .. 4 811 Aldcroft. Bellman .. 5 8 6 Challoner. Loiterer Knutsford Grimston Balham Magnum Bonum 4 Bandage 4 Evenhand Barchettina Anfield Blondin Zapateado Blackdown 3 Brian Boru .... 3 Wasp gelding Canzonette.,. 7 1 Daley. 6 12 Drewe. 6 9 Murfet. 6 8 Loates. 6 6 T. French. 6 6 Cannon. 6 6 Whiteley. 6 2 Mordan. 6 0 Crouch. 5 13 Carroll. 5 11 S. Adams. Lord Glasgow's filly has far too much weight. Bellman, if in anything like the same form when he beat Caller Ou last year in Ireland, ought to have a great chance, but that he can give Zetland 91b. Ido not believe. If the latter was in here at 7st 1 llb it would be odds on him, as he is nearly the equal of Buckstone, for in the Epsom Cup he beat the latter at only a difference of 41b. Loiterer is doing good steady work, but Ido not think him class enough. Knuts ford has been knocked about in the betting ; but if he comes to the post in anything like his last year's form, I would look no farther for the winner. Grimston, Balham, Magnum Bonnm, and Bandage may help to swell the field, but I do not think any of them will receive honourable mention from the judge. Anfield belongs to a dangerous party, and if he reaches the post with winning orders, he will only have to fear Knuts. ford to effect his overthrow. Blondin is the best of Mr. Parr's pair, but I expect he will come to grief before he finishes his journey. Zapateado belongs to one of the most honourable noblemen on the turf. He has been highly tried with Piccador, and as his lordship's horses always run with winning orders, those who invest on him will have an honest run for their money. The only other with an outside chance is Blackdown, who is in Drewitt's stable, and is doing good work. I expect, when the numbers go up, that the judge will place ZAPATEADO .. .. 1 ANFIELD 2 KNUTSFORD 3 The Goodwood Cup will rest between Ls Toc4uEs and ISOLINE, giving the preference to the former.

Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. The Channel fleet arrived off Sunderland on Thurs day morning. The news of the arrival of the fleet spread quickly throughout the town, and the piers and docks were thronged with persons anxious to 'view the squadron. Several steamboats freighted with passengers left the harbour for the fleet. Steam boats from the Tyne and Blyth also paid the squa dron a visit soon after it had taken up its position. In the course of the afternoon the Mayor of Sunder land, accompanied by several members of the cor poration and commissioners of the docks, proceeded in a steamboat to pay their respects to Rear-Admi ral Ilic*ee. On Friday Rear-Admiral Dacres, with a staff of the superior officers, made a public lard ing. There was a public bad given in the evening . There Ncere present 200 officers from the fleet and 300 ladies and gentlemen from the town and neigh bourhood-500 in all. On Saturday a dinner was given to Rear-Admiral Dacres and 100 officers of the fleet. The fleet is expected to leave Sunderland in the beginning of this week. It will th€n visit the Frith. of Forth. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. There was a lull average supply of foreign stock on offer here to-day, but its general quality was inferior. Sales progressed slowly, at barely moderate prices. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own glazing districts were seasonably extensive, and the quality of molt breeds was prime. The beef trade was in a sluggish state, nevertheless, the prices of this day se'nnight were supported. The general top figures for Scots and crosses was 4s. 10d. per Blbs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton• shire we received 2,650 short horns, &c. ; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds; from Scotland, 56 Scots; snd trom Ireland, 1,400 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was again large and in excellent con • dition. The mutton trade was less active than last week, nevertheless, no quotable change took place in prices. The best Downs sold at ss. per 81bs. On the whole, a fair clearance was effected. Lambs, the supply of which was good, moved off steadily at full currencies—viz., from ss. 4d. to 6s, 4d. per 81bs. Quality, somewhat prime, We have to report a dull inquiry for calves, at previous rates. The top figure was 4s. 6d. per 81bs. The pork trade was heavy at late quotations.

On Saturday Mr. William Payne, coroter fur the City of London and Southwark, held an inquest respecting the death of Jessie Jenner, aged five months, who was alleged to have lost her life through starvation under very strange circum stances. Maria Shrine said that on Wednesday last she was asked by the father of the deceased to assist him in picking or forcing in a door in the house, No. 28, Lansdown-place, Southwark. Upon entering the room the wife of the man took up a chopper and a knife, and attempted to strike them. She ap peared to be out of her mind. In a corner of the room, on a box, lay the dead body of the deceased, with a piece of muslin over its face. A doctor was sent for. Dr. W. Babbage said that on the day in question he was called in to see the deceased. The body was on the cover of a box, and was shockingly emaci ated. The mother lay on a sort of bad on the floor. She kept her hands over her eyes, and would not look up or speak when he addressed her. He be lieved her not to be in her right mind. From in quiries he learned that the deceased had been fed by the mother on pure cold water out of a bottle. The bottle was the common medicine bottle pro duced. There was only a little undissolved sago, in lumps, at the bottom. He ordered the woman to the union infirmary because he considered she was a lunatic. The post mortem examination showed that there was no trace of food in the stomach or intestines. There was not a particle of fat in the system. There were some traces of mesenteric dis ease, but nothing to produce death. The cause of death was want of food. The mother starved and neglected the child through lunacy. Henry Jenner said that his wife had become de ranged since January last, on account of the follow ing circumstances :—ln that month, his daughter, who was 20 years of age, was a servant at the Sun Hotel, Jersey. A colonel in the army took a fancy to her, and married her. He made a settlement on his wife, and also promised a small allowance to witness's wife. The latter was of respectable family, her brother being the editor of a newspaper in the Channel Islands. Witness had been in a better position in life than be was at present. He had a legacy left him by his uncle, but it proved his ruin, and he had to become a bargeman. The colonel, after his marriage, went to France, and as there had been no communication from either of them his wife grieved and lost her mind. She used to sit at the window, saying, " Here she comes. She is coming down the street at last." She used also to imagine that the doctors were walking in at the window to trepan her. He often asked her to give the child milk, but she neglected it. He was out all d, y and could not see after it. The coroner having summed up, the jury returned a verdict of death from want of nourishment. The Fatal Accident on the Monmouthshire Railway. e , i ngß R AE, Saturday. This protracted inquiry, which has been four times adjourned, was brought to a close last night. It will be remembered that an accident of a fearful character occurred on the Monmouthshire Railway at this place on the 3d inst., when an express train ran off the rails, smashed the ear.• riages, and killed the driver, Robert M‘Ghae, and seriously injured other persons. Tho inquest on M'Ghee was held before Mr. Brewer, coroner for Monmouthshire, and the evidence adduced up to yesterday went to show that the train was proceeding at a rapid pace, and that the line was not adapted to express speed, the rails being fastened to the sleepers with wooden pegs or trenails instead of iron ones. Mr. Harrison, the engineer to the Monmouthshire Rail.. wa y Company h a ving stated that th e li ne was i n good , repair, Col. Yolland, the Government inspector, was examined. Il e said his opinion was that the road was made of fair ma terial for the time when it was constructed-12 or 14 years ago—but that it was decidedly not a road suitable for the express trains of the present day, would take he trusted the Mon mouthshire Railway Company take warning by this n accident, and relay thei r li ne o the improved principle of the present day, whi c h the company themselves would find after all to be the most economical, Wooden transit might be considered good as long as the wood remained sound, but the use of iron jang bolts was decidedly better • and it was almost impossible f or an i nspec t or as h e passed along the road to see w h et h er the wooden trenails were rotten or not, and particularly on a li ne w hi c h w as ballasted so heavily. He Was of opinion that the train was travelling at a fast rate, probably 45 miles an hour. That was by no means an unusual speed for an express train, on a proper road con structed for express trains, and he did not think the speed exceeded the time allowed for the journey, which was 15 minutes from Pontypool road to Newport, which was too little with the road in its present state. At the close of the inquiry the jury found that the de. ceased had bees killed by the train accidentally running off the line, and they added—" We attribute the accident to the high speed run on a road not originally intended for fast running, and we urge the company to allow more time for the express trains from Pontypool -road to Newport until the road is renewed." A curious report comes from many parts, says the Court Journal, which seems to confirm the fact that the moon was recently seen having the figure of a cross upon it I SECOND EDITION.

HULL REGATTA.—The prizes contested for on Thursday consisted of a piece of plate value 20 guineas, and a second prize, value six guineas, to be sailed for by yachts belonging to the club not exceeding 15 tons, half a minute allowed for tonnage; a purse value £2O for fishing vessels under 20 tons ; and small prizes for man of war's cutters. The following yachts entered for the first and second prizes :—Gnat, cutter, 5 ions, Thomas H. Old man ; Pearl, cutter, 9 tons, Francis Hoare; Shamrock, cutter, 12 tons, Captain Cater, R.N. ; Fairy, cutter, 7 tons, J. B. Spence ; Brunette, schooner, 9 tons, H. T. Watson. All started but the Fairy. The signal gun was fired at 11 o'clock, and th e yac ht s go t q uickly away. The course was down the Humber, round the Bull floating light, leaving it on the starboard hand, and G back to 11 u 11 . Shortly alter passing Paul, the yacht Gnat gave up th e contest. The other vessels rounded the Bull floating light in the following o rder:--Shamrock, lb. 17m. 158.; Bru nette, n, 19s, 305.; and Pearl, lh. 16 m. 408. Duri ng th e u ya chts met wet with bad weat h er, and had o e t make way as well as they could, not only against a beat ing wind,t against an ebbing tid e. At one time the rtrhtrip b the u Pearl got ahead of her opp )nents, but she was subsequently passed by the Shamrock, which maintained her position during the rest of the run. It was com,iderably later than usual when the first yachts arrived, owing to the wind and weather. The order of arrival was as follows:—Shamrock, 7h. 58m. 255.; Pearl, 812. sm. 275. Brunette was a loog way behind her opponents. Capt. Cast or was therefore the winner of the first prise, and Mr. F.;Hoare, banker, Bull, the second. The fishing vessels startei the same time as the yachts, and the following were the three first to return :—Kate and Ann, of Colchester, 19 tons, S. Martin, owner; Samaritan, of Col chester, 17 tons, John Croft, owner ; and the Rapid, of Paul, 19 tons, William Wilkin, owner. The Kate and Ann was consequently the winner. In the Keel regatta ten vessels competed, and the successful vessels came in in the following order:—Humber Witch, Henry Hodge, owner; John and Ellen, William Bryson, jun., Hull ; John Hurst, William Thompson, Hull ; Emily, George Hunt, Hull; and B. F. Beaumont, William Thompson, Hull. For the four oared jolly-boat race four started, returning as follows : 2, Helen M'G regor; 3 , Bob Bey; 4, 1. Gauger Rolf; Argo. In the evening the Commodore of the Humber, Lord Londesborough, gave a dinner on board his yacht, the Albertine, to a select party, including Captain Strange, H.M.S. Cornwallis, Christopher Sykes, Dr. Powell, Lon don, Captain Egerton, and Major Bannister. T ~ : ~ 13.14. z 5 10 st st 50 20 8.4.0 L 9.18.4 12.10 64 7 1211 101 Ili 12 541 5 1031 3
