EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.. Capital-500,0001. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office are —Modentte and equitable Rates ot Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on whiith to proportion premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by leire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience. that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on , or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to time, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 33. per cent, without the Average Clause.

INSURANCE AGAINST RAILWAY ACCI DENTS.—GREAT EXHIBITION EXCURSION TRIPS. The Directors of the RAILWAY PASSENGERS' ASSURANCE COMPANY have made arrangements for the issue of EXCURSION TICKETS, to cover the risk of the journey both ways, irrespective of distance, in Excursions to or from London. These tickets insure 2001., payable to the executors or next of kin in the event of death, with proportionate compensation in cases of personal injury by rail way accident, at a premium of Twopence, and are available for any class carriage. The Periodical Tickets of this Company cover the risk of Excursion Trips, as well as travelling by the ordinary Passenger ger Trains, and insure 1,000/. at an annual of. 2001. 44 511 ss. These tickets are all obtainable at the Company's Offices, 3, Old Broad-street, London ; and the Excursion Tickets will likewise be issued by the Company's Agents in the principal towns throughout the country, where Excursion Trips may be determined on. The distinctive features of this Company are :- 1. It is empowered by special Act of Parliament, 12 and 13 Vic toria, cap. 40. 2. It has a subscribed capita l of one million sterling, as a guarantee to the assured. 3. In the premium charged the stamp duty is included, which is paid to Government by the Company. In these respects it is peculiar , a nd distin g uished from any existing Railway Assurance Company.

NITARY ASSO CIA On Saturday evening the Metropolitan Sanitary As sociation and the friends of sanitary reform held their first public festival at G ore House, Kensington, under the auspices of M. Soyer, who, for the first time, threw open the portals of his universal symposium for the en tertainment of a public body. The banquet was laid out in the baronial hall in the grounds, which was elegantly fitted up for the occasion. The walls were hung with a number of paintings, the productions of Madame Soyer. Behind the chairman was a trophy emblematical of the grand banquet supplied by M. Soyer, at York, to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the mayors of the different English cities and boroughs. Chinese lanterns, suspended from the ceiling, diffused a mellow and pleasant light over the brilliant pageant below, and the tables were decorated with a profusion of plate, rare ex otics in vases, and silvered mirror globes which multi plied and reflected the brilliant scene. A military band was in attendance, but concealed from the view of the spectators, and the gallery at the end of the hall was filled with ladies. The chair was occupied by the Earl of Carlisle, and on either side were the Right Rev, the Bishop of Ripon, the Right Hon. Viscount Ebrington, M.P.; Dr. Wilson; the Right Hon. Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P.; the Right Hon. Lord Ashley, M.P.; Lord Moreton; B. Bond Cabbell, Esq, M.P.; Hon. .F. Cowper, M.P.; H. T. Hope, Esq., M.P.; R. A. Slaney , Esq.. M.P.; W.

W. Lusigasn, M. A.; Adolphus Bar nett, Eeq., M.P., and about 170 other gentlemen. The banquet was one every way characteristic of the high artistic and culinary character of M. Soyer—the wines were unexceptionable, the champagne ienirFippi, and all the accessories in excellent taste. Mr. Harker officiated as toast-master. The Noble CHAIRMAN gave " The Health of her Mae jesty the Queen, His " His Royal Highness Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal Family," adverting to the great interest his Royal Highness had always taken in promoting the sanitary improvement of the dwellings of the working classes. "The Church," which was re sponded to by the Bishop of Ripon—" The Army and Navy," responded to by Dr. Gilchrist. Th e CHAIRMAN sad—My Lords and Gentleman, in calling your attention to the present subject, I feel that there is one thing above all others I ought to bear in mind, and that is, to commit no trespass against the re cognised laws of health. Now an address after dinner of undue length would, I am convinced, undoubtedly be such a trespass—(A laugh)—bad, perhaps, for the diges tion and almost dangerous, and on the part of those who hear it, calculated to disturb that placidity of temper which we are told ought to follow, especially upon such a meal as that of which we have just partaken.—(Hear, hear.) I think we shall find in Shakspere, who always hits the right nail on the head, that the true thing to wish for on these occasions is " may good digestion wait on appetite cud health on both."—(Cheers.) I feel, moreover, that it is not for me to impress on such a company as this, which, by its very presence, gives an assurance of its own conviction, the importance and dienity of what is called the sanitary cause — (Cheers) —a cause which has its business with deaths that may be prevented—(Hear, hear) — since, as we know, in districts where from accident more favourable sanitary condition exists, these deaths do not occur—(near) —With deaths arising from epidemic and contagious diseases, which amount to some 50,000 in the course of every year—(Bear)—with deaths consequently outstripping in numbers the carnage of th© most destruc tive campaigns and the most protracted wars—with deaths, moreover, which strikes down those whom our modern warfare especially saves, and cuts off one-half in some districts of all who are born before they reach five years of age—with deaths, in fine, which threaten all, b u t especially those who fill the many walks of humble life.—(Loud cheers.) Such a cause as this is surely one of solemn importance, which we should do all we can to increase in the appreciation of all classes. I have alluded to the claims and the dangers of humble labour. We have, indeed, close to where we sit, a remarkable build ing, which is in itself a shrine of labour, but while we gaze on the large area of its vast extent, on the won drous results of its harmonious and completed combina tions, on all their gorgeous magnificence, let us not refrain from tracing them back to that crowded workshop, that damp 9 cellar, and that stifling garret, in which so much of that col lected mass of ingenuity and splendour has been elaborated.—(Loud cheers.) And we shall derive, perhaps, not the least precious lesson which the Crystal Palace itself, in all its complicated maturity, and in all its glittering unity, can teach, if, transferring our care from the work to the workmen, wherever it may be his lot to weave the slender thread or guide the ductile metal, we study as best we can to surround the scene of his daily labour with some portion of +the decencies, the comforts, and the enjoyments with which he so plenti fully enriches our own.—(Loud cheerieg ) There is too much reason to fear that the stimulus of drink is often may de r borrow discussion,a n o resorted to us a diversion to the depressing effects of an uncleanly house or a polluted ateeosphere.—(Hear, hear.) And it is well known that the typhus foyer se lects a large proportion of its victims —(Hear, theif h ilm ea mm a ea ) dyia A t k e nd, from wi c ht from among the adult population, and in the full vigour of bodily labour. so speak, must still linger on your another and hint the place in which we are met, and the recollection of subject if I under m io a r rk the th s a u t bs n ta o n th a i a n l g and ca i n nv b ig e o s r o atin li g tti ci e usl an i n ti i e ta s palates—(Cheers and a laugh)—l 'Maid beg to re cookery.—(Great laughter.)

Soyer, hasalready an exercisingaduiirableditshpeoiseitmioonretoenter upon a career in which I really think he may do sub stantialbesides recon dite mysteries, which qualify him to take his place with Vatel, Ude, and Careme, he should" communicate to our English kitchens some of those arts which would render them at once more cheap and more versatile than they have hitherto been.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") I believe it will be found au almost unfailing rule that the best articles and the best methods aro in the long run the moat economical. And if this were the fitting opportunity I believe it could be satisfactorily shown that the sanitary cause rests its claim to public support as triumphantly upon the ground of financial and econo mical reform as upon any other. After soiree further remarks, the Noble Chairman gave " The Metropolitan Sanitary Commissioners." The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm. Lord R. GROSVENOR. said—Gentlemen, some twenty years net) I joined that almost forlorn hope, the So ciety of ago Improvement. This I may say, was really a forlorn hope at that time, for we, had to at teke a frightful mass of evil, which we have been gra dually overcoming ever since. However, lam happy to say, in the language of the lawyers, that there is another gentleman reboot to follow on my side who really has taken upon himself the pr.nc_pal burden of the acting committee of this association, I mean the Rev. Mr. Hume, who is much more able than lam to th,e•ow souse light on, and to give some notion of the proceedings of this society. Before I will permit him to fellow me, as I sin senior in, the Cass, I beg to be permitted to say a few words in reference to the immediate question b e f ore us. I sa y that, viewing the state of things as they existed twenty years ago, and as they now are, I must be permitted to congratulate you on the position you now occupy. You have obtained the prohibition of Parliament to intramural interments. Do not then say that this society has been called together for no purpose. You have obtained the abolition of the in come-tax—(Loud laughter)-,4 mean you have ob tained the abolition of the windoav-tax.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen , y ou arc very powerful, but I do not quite think that you have arrived at the amount of steam power which I had attributed to you when I said that you have obtained the abolition of the income-tax. It was lapsus linyucc. But you have accomplished, after all, ta hat which is more important as regards sanitary matters —I neeau the abolition of the window-tax.—(Cheers.) You haVe, besides that, obtained somespeet of arean tinuow, su pply: of goed and whole water; I twat that we shall not be disappointed in our expecta tions upon this head —namely, a continuous supply of the purest water to tee poorest classes in the metropolis. And you have nearly obtained another thing, and I trust we shall get it; but, to follow the advice of Lord Castlereagh, "We should not hullo° until we are out of the wood.' I refer to the abolition of one of the greatest nuisances we have to complain o threat this town. I hope that you will obtain this boon — the decent and respectable lan guage of the cattle drivers shall not be any longer heard in the streets of this metropolis—(C to heers the u ) —that that agre eable titillation which is appliedunfortunate animals that are driven to Smithfield shall f not be per mitted any longer ---that that :peculiar perfume which is engendered by the congregation of so much cattle shall be removed—and that the sewers of the citizens near that locality shall be no longer overpowered by the filth that is distributed All t immediate vicinity of Smithfield Market. All these advantages you obtained; but you have not h av e obtained, or near l y quite obtained all yet. There is something Oil e e b e sought after. I do offer you my sincere congratula tions upon the altered position in which you now stand to that which you occupied when I first joined your association. The Noble Lord concluded by wishing every success to the Metropolitan Sanitary Associa tion.—(Cheers.) The Rev. Mr. HumE also acknowledged the toast. Lord CARLISLE then gave "The Sanitary Reformers in Parliament." Viscount EDRINGTON would not say he wished the duty of responding to the toast had fallen upon a greate veteran in the service, for although Lord Robert Gros venor had said that twenty years ago he had joined societies established for the purpose of sanitary reform; he believed he might say, that prior to the year 1841, the year in which he first entered Parliament, the cause of sanitary reform could not be considered to have be come a Parliamentary question. Although allusion was made in the reports relating to the factory question. and the papers connected therewith, to the health of factory workers and their dwellings, all of which re marks originated in the almost prophetic sagacity of that invaluable friend of his whose name was almost indissolubly besind up with sanitary reform (he meant Mr. Chadwick), and although in some of the poor-law reports remarks were to bo found, indeed he might say, very elaborate reports, by Dr. Southwood. Smith and others, of the amount of preventable disease and death arising from want of proper drainage, and although calculations had been actually made as to the cost of the requisite alterations, yet he believed that previous to the completion of the inquiry into the sanitary condition of the metropolis, and indeed of the whole kingdom of Great Britain (he feared Ire land was not included), which was instituted by the Bishop of London in 1839, he believed, he said, that prior to that inquiry no view had been presented to Parliament of sanitary reform as a social and religious question. He believed that until that time the public had not been made aware that pestilence and death— the great check to population—were two of the greatest scourges under which the labouring and industrial classes of the population were suffering, and were two of the main causes of distress among those classes. Until then they did not seem to be aware, or the fact had not struck them, that next to a criminal population the most expensive was a diseased population. He said that since he entered Parliament a mighty change had been effected throughout the civilised world in the view taken of this question. - He duly appreciated the difficulty in which the :GovernMent was placed. < He ; admitted that to deal with, the " august monopolies," and the " con c en trated ignorance," strong pressure from without was required; but he could not help reminding gentlemen present that they were the Metropolitan Sanitary Reform Association, and that it was from them that the necessary pressure must come, ' and such a pressure, moreover, as would cause this me tropolis to be dealt with in the same manner in which less important places were dealt with. To effect the thorough drainage of this metropolis he thought was im possible while the duty was entrusted to a large and un paid body of commissioners, who as long as they were unpaid, and had other business to attend to, would never execute what was required from them. A regular paid body was necessary for this; and also, he might add, that until the privilege of supplying this great city with water was placed upon such a footing that it was no longer in the hands of persons who could make it a commercial speculation, he feared that even a paid board could do nothing. In conclusion, the Noble Lord thanked the company in the names of the sanitary re formers in Parliament, and begged to assure them that he for one, so long as he remained a Member of Parliament, would de his duty in the cause which they had met to commemorate. The Noble Lord sat down amidst loud cheers. Mr. CHARLES DICKENS, in proposing " The Board of Health," said he was placed in that awkward position which involved the necessity (if he faced the chairman) of turning his back upon the company; and if he faced the company he must necessarily turn his back upon the Noble Chairman—(Laughter)—but as the company formed the majority, he thought, with the chairman's permission, he should pursue the wisest course by turn ing to the more numerous body, especially as he thought that course would be most acceptable to the chairman himself. Few were the words which were left for him to say to them, either upon the need there was for sani tary reform, or as to the usefulness of the Metropolitan Association. No man could estimate the amount of mis chief which was born of dirt ; no man could sav it stopped here or there in its moral or physical e&cts, when bath were begun in the cradle and were not at rest in the miserable grave.—(Hear, hear.) The air that was generated iu Gin-lane would be carried by a stray wind into „May-fair ; and when pestilence raged in St. Giles's no list of lady patronesses, however long, could keep it out of Almack's.—(Hear, hear.) Twelve or fifteen years ago, some of the valuable reports of Mr. Chadwick and Dr. Southwood Smith much enlarged his (Mr. Dickens's) previously imperfect knowledge of those truths, and made him earnest in his sphere of helping on the sanitary cause. He could honestly declare that all the use he had since made of his eyes and nose—(Laughter)—had only strengthened his con victions that a searching sanitary reform must precede all other remedies, and that even religion could ,do nothing until the way was paved by cleanliness and de cency.—(Cheers.) He did not want authority for that opinion. The speech of the Right Rev. Prelate (the Bishop of Ripon), who was a true sanitary reformer, they could have hardly listened to without emotion. Of what utility was it to send missionaries to masses of miserable men and women condemned to live, degraded and filthy in their persons and habits, in the most wretched holes and dens? Patting himself in the posi tion of one of those poor benighted and neglected persons he would ask what natural chord of feeling remained in his bosom? Was it the remembrance of his children? That remembrance was of sickness, distortions, scrofula, and fever. Had it reference to his hopes, latent hopes, of immortally? He was so surrounded with material filth, that his soul could not rise to the contem plation of immortality. Or, supposing he was a mise rable child, bred and nurtured in some noisome place, and admitted in these better days into a ragged school, what could the few hours' teaching that they gave him even there do for him against the force of the vicious and ever-renewadt example of his whole existence. — (Hear,' hear.) Give him his first glimpse of heaven through a little of its light and air. —(Loud cheers.) Give him water—help him to be clean; lighten this heavy atmosphere in which his spirit flagged, and in which he became the indifferent and callous creature that they saw him. Gently and kindly take the dear body of his relation out of that close room in which he grew to be so familiar with the change of death, that even its sanctity was lost amid the surrounding filth and squalor, and then he would listen—oh, how willingly— of Him whose thoughts were so much with the poor, and who had compassion for all of human suffering.— (Applause.) The toast he (Mr. Dickens) had to pro pose was, the health of those without whose a ssistance that which was so much to be desired could never be carried into effect. His toast was " The Board of Health," and while recommending this toast to their notice he would make a passing allusion to the transparent palace so near them, which was an illustration of the fact that no great thing can ever be done without a quantity of abuse and a number of absurd rumours being heaped upon it. They had, no doubt, all heard of that unfor tunately always-in-difficulties and never-to-be-too much -respected lady, and his very old friend, " the unprotected Female." —(Laughter.) At a family dinner party, where he last heard from that venerated lady, she was seriously alarmed for the sparrows in Mr. Paxton's glass-palace, for she mysteriously hinted that certain wits of gunpowder had been smuggled into the Exhibition under the semblance of coffee. — (Laughter.) Those dark hints of the old lady were very much of a piece with the names which had been applied to the Board of Health. That Board had been called a Board of " centralization," and, therefore, it was con demned. He thought that in the time of the cholera the public had a pretty good opportunity of judging between this so-called centralization and what be might, be thought, call " vestrylizetion."— (Loud laughter.) He dared to say that the company present had read the re ports of the Cholera Board of Health, and he dared to say they had also read reports of certain vestries. — (Laughter.) He had the honour of belonging to a con stituency which clec:ed that amazing body—the Mary lebone Vestry--(Laughter)—and he thought that if the company present would look to what was done by the Board of Health at Glasgow, and then contrast those proceedings with the wonderful cleverness with which affairs were managed at the same period in the parish of Marylebone, there would be very little difficulty in judg ing between them. His (Mr. Dicken's) pet vestry even took upon itself to deny the existence of cholera as a weak invention of the enemy (Loud laughter) —and although that stout denial had, unfor tunately, had no effect in stopping the ravages of the pestilence, still it would now serve as an example to show gentlemen what was the meaning of " vestrylize tion "as distinguished from " centralization." There was another word, also, which had been wed in accus ing the Board of Health—he meant " delay." In this accusation there might be some truth; but he souls, just in defence of the Board, suggest to them somewhat in point. Let them suppose a good chornot; meter, which would not go when its master forgot w as wind it up.

He was:pleased by the mention which had been made by the Board of Health, because h© a _ By the arrival of the Great Western steam-ship, be. longing to the Royal West Lite Mail Steam-packet Company, a few days sin ce at the net of Southampton, an immense quantity of gold from California was brought to this country, and which was consigned to the Bank of England. The gold, principally dnst, was enclosed in tin canisters, which were again enclosed in small wooden boxes, about 18 inches long, 7 or 8 inches broad, and 6 deep, the average weight of each box being half a cwt. On Thursday 157 of these boxes were un shipped from the Great Western, and placed in four railway trucks by the servants of the Southampton docks, and the packing superintended by officials of the West India Mail Company, and two clerks, as under stood by the informant, attached to the Bank of Eng land. The four trucks were properly " sheeted" and made secure before leaving the Dock Company's pre mises, and before they were attached to tho ordinary goods train for London, they were separately placed on the weighing bridge at the Southampton station of the South-Western Railway, the weight of each being taken. The usual time for the goods up-train starting was eight o'clock, but from some delay it did not leave Southampton until nine o'clock. It is customary when property of a valuable description is not insured and taken by the ordinary goods trains, for the per sons who are acting as agents for the owners or con signees to ride in the trucks containing the property. This custom, however, was departed from - by the four gentlemen who were in charge of the gold-dust amounting in value, it is said, to a million and a half, and they occupied a first class carriage. which was next to trucks containing the treasure. Those gentleman were—Mr. Beard, Mr. 13eardmore, Mr. Winchip, and a Mr. Quirk. Two of the gentlemen are clerks in the Bank of England, and Mr. Winchip has been for eight or nine years past frequently intrusted with the convey ance of very valuable property. It had been remarked as a singular fact that the parties in charge of the four trucks wore most pressing on the guard and his breaks man to go and get something to drink at the different stations which the train stopped at, commencing with Bishopstocke, six miles from Southampton. The guard did have, as also his brcaksman, something to drink at Basingstoke, and at a station some further distance on, but both men were sober when the train arrived at Nine Elms, which was about three o'clock on Friday morning. Between five , and six , o'clock the seine morning Mr. Thorne, the night superintendent of the goods traffic, found that three of the boxes containing the gold-dust were missing, and 'the aid of the local police was called in, and Thomas Bent, a detective constable of the metropolitan police, but attached solely to the South-Western Railway, was soon upon the spot. The boxes missing wore severally marked—the first, "B." on the top, and " N.M.R." on the bottom, and weighed 531 b. ; the second was marked " C. M." upwards, and " J. J. C." underneath—this box weighed 391 b. 120 z.; the 'third box had written on it " D. Dunbar and Son," had no weight marked, but was valued at 6,500 dolls. After the gold had been removed from the truck whence the boxes were supposed to have been taken, the truck was loaded with iron to the same weight as the gold taken out, and Mr. Bent, Mr. Thorne, and Sergeant Eastman, of theil division, took the truck by special engine to Southampton, where it was put upon the weighing-bridge, and the weights tallied, thus prov ing incontestably that the three boxes of gold-dust were not in the truck when it left Southampton, or there would have been a deficiency. They then returned to Londen, and information was sent to all the stations between Nine Elms and Southampton to search the intervening spaces, and at a late hour on Friday night information Was received that the box directed to " D. Dunbar a l gid Son" Son" had been discovered by a bo y on the ba n k of the railway near Wi nchester station, and unopened, and that a man was in custody on suspicion of being concerned in the stealing of it. On Saturday, William Plankin, a middle-aged and respectably a t tired man, w s o described himself as a tailor, living in Earl-street, Soho, was taken before the Mayor and several other magistrates at Winchester Town-hallitMr. Crombie appearing for the South-Western Railway Company, and Mr. Duffell, the superintendent at the Southampton-docks, was also in attendance. The evidence given was to the effect that on Friday afternoon a boy, the son of a licensed victualler, whose house is near the Winchester station, was looking for birds' nests on the railway bank near the station, when he discovered the box partly hid by a bush. He took it home, and his father wont with him to the station, and Gradidge, the railway policeman, suggested that a watch should be kept near the spot, which was done, and as Ws as half-past 11 o'clock that night the prisoner came to the spot, and the constable took him into custody. The box had not been replaced, and whim the prisoner wai asked why he was there, he said he had lost his way in going to the station. On being questioned by Inspector Field, one of the detective officers, who is specially employed in this mysterious affair by the South Western Railway Com pany, he said he lived in Earl-street, Soho, and which has subsequently proved so be correct; that he was a tailor, and came down to Winchester by the train which leaves Waterloo station at 1 r.lu.; but it was proved At the examination he was seen in Winchester before the arrival of that train. He said his object was to look for work, but he had not asked a single person, although he went to the public-house kept by the boy's fathhr who found the box, where he partook of bread and cheese, and afterwards to another inn, where he had a chop, and said ha had unfortunately lost the 2 o'clock up-train; but there is no train leaves Winchester at that hour. The prisoner declared his innocence before the Mayor, who considered the circumstances sufficiently suspicious to remand him. A large body of the city detective police are posted cin the various roads leading from Sauthampton and othi r places to prevent, if possible, any of the missing properly finding its way to the metropolis through that channel:; ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB. The first match this season of the Royal London Yacht Club came off ou Saturday last, the course being, us usual, from Blackwell Reach, round a flag-boat moored off Gravesend, and back to the starting point. The contest was for the Challenge Cup, presented to the club by Mr. J. T. Hewes, which was won last year by the Frolic, belonging to Mr. A. Cox. It was a time match; yachts exceeding ten tons allowing a minute to ail not exceeding that tonnage, and half a minute to those exceeding it; yachts under ten tons allowing half 4 minute to those of lesser tonnage. The morning was beautifully fine, and the temperature genial, so that it would have been surprising indeed if there bad not been a large muster of the members of the club and their friends (amongst whom were a large number of ladies) to witness the match. The party ac companied the ) uhts in the Meteor steam-boat, on boi.cd which every arrangement (including the engage ment of the Royal Artillery band) had been made for their comfort, convenience, and enjoyment. Several yachts belonging to members of the club, including the commodore's yacht Avalon, were cruising about the river, their graceful forms, light and frag ile rigging, and spotless canvass, flitting to and fro in the bright sun shine, and bending gracefully to the fresh breeze, con trasting strongly with the heavier and more sombre. looking vessels of our warlike or mercantile marine, and certainly, as we thought, harmonising much better, in this " merry month of May," with the picturesque scenery with which either batik of the Thames abounds. Seven yachts had been entered for the match, but only six came to " the starting post," a point in Blackwell reach, a few hundred yards above the railway pier. They took their places in the following order, beginning from the Blackwell side of the river: — Traveller lO tons Mr. G. 11. Jackson, owner Whisper Mazeppa l2 „ Mr. Chas.
