That is of the sugar made; whilst the consuin ption in the is estimated at less than 3,000 hhc 6, The weather in Barbadoes is represented as " all eiat the planters could with." BERMUDA. The ..:9ermudian publishes a number of par agraphs which ii.:2ow that Bermuda is " coming out tit rong as a po to to-producing country, and that she !is now actively competing with native growers in flit) New York n market, one of the cheapest and most extensive vegetable, markets in the world, in the articles of po tatoes, 'Croions, and tomatoes. This is certainly' a new turn to West India industry. One of the par, 'graphs mentions the superior quality of the potato, as yell as the abuxtdant return from seed planted. A small por tion of t be crop has reached other colonies (Triiiidad, for exam ple), and the improvement in the quality of the arti.c le, which was formerly good, but rattier waxy, has het : n the subject of general remark. We sin cerely trust this potato-growing enterprise nu iy be success fill ; and though we doubt the possibility of the Burmudians .finding a sufficiently remunel -alive market in the sea board cities of the United S Cates, where !?;ices at times rule very low, they may cer.: tainly I :cant upon all the West India colonies as cus• towers, ,at rates which will insure them a very consi derable .annual revenue from this edible.

CLARA CAMERON ; or, The Belle of the Season. _ _ _ This- is- one of the moat attractive novels - of the season, full of sparkling incidents and lively sketches. It treats of the varied adventures of a, young girl singularly gifted in mind. and person, as she pursues her way amid the hi g h es t circles of the land. Her story Is one of painful interest. Her character is ably drawn. First a devoted maiden, then a digni fied coquette, next a faithful wife to one she had married far policy, not affection ; at last, an exalted martyr, sinking under the weight of forbidden love, maintaining through all her own reputation and the world's respect. The Countess St. Clair, ber aunt, is a frivolus lady of fashion, with little to interest save her gay and airy spirit. The Earl of Desmond is a superior character. In his youth he committed an unfortunate error, which well n!ab wrecked his peace for ever, and which in reality caused himself and the unfortunate Clara many a year of suffering. They were engaged in early life, but their day reached near its meridian before they were uni'ed. It is a questionable satisfaction, however, to learn of mar riages thus heralded by death, an incident too often met with in the novels of the present time. But in this one there is the excuse that, without such a con tinuation of 'events, the conduct of Clara could not have shone forth so brightly as appeared under such favourable auspice& TIM TUTOR'S WARD. By the Author of " Way faring Sketches," 4-e. This is a very interesting tale, though it follows the present custom of melancholy adventures befalling its heroes and heroines. As in Mrs. Norton's pathetic history of " Stuart of Dunleatb," in Lady Ponsonby's touching "Clare Abbey," in Miss Jewry's clever tale of "The Cup and the Lip," in Mrs. Daniel's in teresting novel of " Fernley Manor," and many others lately published, the author has decreed that the cha racters he pourtrays shall indeed tread a thorny way. It is very powerfully written, and the incidents striking. Its moral may be seen from the following : " His worshipped idol! What words are these to bo used from human clay to human clay! Who shall say what judgment they will not call down? Let men look to it who would scorn the making of graven images and the exalting of carved idols, to worship them. Let them look to it, whether the love of any earthly King hath not set itself supreme in their ainctions, so that their spirit bows before it, forgetting all other adoration." This idea is well carried out in action as well as pre cept. The characters are well drawn: the passionate and poetical .Arthur, whose unchecked idolatry hur ries him to such fearful lengths ; the subtle and ma licionS Juliet.; the gentle and eharming Millicent, whese, unparalleled self-devotion and generosity al - most make us raady to pardon and excuse her human worship; the selfish and thoughtless Stephen Aylmer, who so ill deserved her unchanging affection. The minor personages of the story are also well distin guished, though the view the author takes of human nature is not always the brightest. The following extract is a s.smple of the power of the style in which it is written : " But Arthur had his treasure. lie fled down the stairs—he passed out into the dark night again. lie held in his hand the 'death warrant of her whole life's happiness. And had he no remorse, self-elected mur derer as he was; bad he no thought, rave for his own selfish love, his own soul's satisfaction? If by the eill of Heaven, the one solitary end adored hope had been hided within her heart, then for her needful chas tening, doubtless wan, it done; but who appointed him to be its slayer? Oh, at the last hour, many that have walked through the world with sreilieg faces and stain less hands shall come out convicted as murderers of the deepest dye, each one—each one who has ever destroyed the happiness of another; and are the sea sands more innumerable? Had the dark earthly passion that twined round his soal so enveloped that immortal being in its deadly coils, that 11 , 3 could be no longer sensible of those holier influences that fail not in every time of strong temptation to come as a merciful warning in some one shape or other? Hark ! even now that voice from Heaven speaks, which though varied its tone, disguised its sweetness often, yet Lev, is silent in those tremend ous hours, when angel and demon struggle for the deathless human spirit. " Arthur stood one moment only on the threshold of his home, and in that moseent borne towards him by the obedient wind floating to his charmed ear, there came the ringing music of the sweet church chimes, that night by night thus told the expectant world that Christmas tide drew near." The - interest never flags from the first moment, when the unhappy mother of the Tutor's Ward appears to her old lover, the dreaming John Forde, to the con clusion, when the curtain is drawn over the joys and sorrows of the varied scenes, there is not a wearisome page. The change in the bright and cheerfalMillicent, who so earnestly desired to see the world, to the self sacrificing yet mistaken heroine of her after life, is well drawn. It cannot fail to attract the attention it merits so well. ROYAL YACHT ..sQT7ADRON REGATTA. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

The Arrow took the lead, followed by the Freak, Gondola, and Bacchante, the wind falling cff the Freak got ahead, but the Arrow rounded the Nab first. The wind now soutberned, and the Freak again took the lead for a short time, but on passing the station vessel off Cowes, the Arrow took her old pace, and the Gondola gave in off Yarmouth. The wind again fell off. They now got a breeze from the north-east, and on rounding the western station vessel the Freak wir, nearly ten minutes astern of the Arrow, and the Bac chante forty.six. The contest from that time was considered to be between the Arrow and Freak; but how uncertain is fortune! those vessels stood over to the north shore for a breeze, each striving to beat the other, neither thinking one moment about the Bac chante; they appeared to have forgotten whom they were contending against, and that her pilot had won more matches than any other man. AU was light and bright on the north shore; a dark cloud hung over the south. " There's wind under that cloud," said deride, "let's hug the,island." The old free-;trader had watched many a weary night the winds, the waves, and the Philistines, and foreknew the signs better. He was right again. Caught a southerly breeze and passed the starting vessel first, on doing which he was hailed from her and the yachts, " The Arrow a , hov ;" but no reply till the word came from the Royal Yacht Society's secretary, when Corke re plied it was the "Bacchante." It was at this time very dark, 9 27 r.m. At 9 39 the Arrow passed, and her crew could not for some time believe but they were the first vessel. The Freak arrived at 9 45. The Arrow, by misti.ke, rounded the wrong vessel, in the dark mistaking her for the starting vessel. THE ROYAL YACHT SOCIETY'S DINNER, AUG. 19. —The muster to-day was much more numerous than common, between sixty and seventy noblemen and gentlemen being present, including the Commhdore and Vice-Commodore of the New York Yacht Club, and a moat agreeable evening was spent, though a little anti-free-trade sauce was served up. THE MATCH FOR PRINCE ALBERT'S CUP. AUG. 20. For this match the following yachts were entered : Capricorn, 313 tons—C. M. Talbot, Eq. Wyrern, 206 tons—Duke of Marlborough. Constance,'2lB tons—Marquis Conyngbam. Beatrice, 161 tons—Sir P. Carew. Gipsey Queen, 160 tons—Sir H. B. Hoghton. The day proved a fine one, the breeze a light one from the S.W. The Gipsey Queen got the lead and kept it throughout. THE CHALLENGE. G. R. Stephenson, Esq., M.P., has accepted the American commodore's challenge to sail for 100/. in his iron yacht, the Titania, of 100 tons. The day is not yet made public. MATCH TIIE SECOND. The Constance. 218 tons, is to sail the Destiny, 207 tons, for 100/. ; day not fixed. The American yacht and the Grand Match on Friday next seem to be almost the only thing thought of by the yachtmen (if we except the ladies and the ball to-morrow night). There are strange stories about her, some of our sailors Mill have it that she has a screw propeller, and can go as fast as she likes— when she likes. Yatchsman are choosing their favourite yachts and their chances against her; some wish to see the Flirt, but of the vessels entered the " Alarm," " Gipsey Queen," and " VolaWe" are the favourites ; much de pends on the wind. 'Tis said that the "America' has been offered for sale for 8,000/. ; an English vessel of her tonnage would cost about 5,0001. MIsFoIITUNES NEVER. COME SINGLE.—An Old biunderhead having purchased a ticket for a cheap trip to Poulton-le-Sands, went down to the station on Saturday morning, but just as the train was about to start, he dis covered that he sad left his dinner wallet and ticket at home. Away he ran back, but on his return to the station the train had gone. There was, however, one hope left - soother train would start at ten o'clock, so old Jemmy (onr cheap tripper's name) trudged back to the town ' to wait till ten, when 10, friend Jemmy found himself without snuff ! He purchased some, but left, without knowing it, his purse on the shop counter. He then hurried to the train, and took his seat, but instead of -going ~to Poulton-le-Sands he was conveyed to Poulton-le-Pylde. Here he missed his purse and money, and being unable to pay his. fare back, he trudged home on foot , g o t g lor ious l y drunk, was locked up by the pclice, hrenght before the magistrate on Monday, and fined the usual amount of five shillings.

SPORTING IN TELLIGENCE. YORK AUGUST MEETING. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, FOUR o'CLocK.—The " disinterested" conduct of the London and North- Western directors iu starting a train at prices (155., 103., end 55., for the double journey) which, after pay ing toll over the York and North Midland line, insured a certain loss to the shareholders, attracted some fifteen hundred people to the Euston-square station 3 esterday morning, and enabled them to fill no lees than forty-six carriages ; a few with members of the betting ring, but the majority with characters whose peculiarities were displayed in the course of a journey of nearly ten hours (f), by an extensive transfer of purses, watches, and portmanteaus. We are told that the scenes at the stations were disgraceful, and we know that a dread of a repetition of them will induce the respectable portion of the passengers to throw their tickets behind the fire, and retire by a different route. The Great Northern ran their sp€cial train at the double journey express fares ; it was well patronized, and like all their trains in the course of the day, kept admirable time, in this, as in all other respects, having a great advantage over the rival companies. By these, and various other lines, an immense number of passengers have been conveyed to the city, and the streets this morning have been almost impassable ; if numbers, therefore, will insure success, this will be one of the most brilliant meeting , ' ever held at York, and that it will not want good sport and plenty of it to make it so, the list for the three da3 s places beyond a doubt. The weather is dull and threatening, and the attendance the fullest we have seen on the first day for many years. The Dundas,Stakes of 50 soya, each, added to a Handicap Sweepstakes of 5 sovs. each.

EVENING ; THE AMERICA AND 7111: YACHT CLUBS. SOUTHAMPTON, Auc. 20. The following is a copy of the second challenge addressed by Commodore Stevens, on behalf of the New York Yacht Club, to the Earl of Wilton, Com modore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, offering to sail the America against any English yachts of any size or rig : "Cowes, la!e of Wight, Aug. 9. "My Lord,—l had the honour yestc:dii to reccire your communication of the Bth init., ire which you in form me, in reply to the proposition of the New Yoil; Yacht Club (to run the America against any schooner belonging to any of the yacht clubs of this kingdom), that you will take the earliest opporl unity to acquaint the proprietors of such schooner of the proposed trial, and in which you invite me to enter the America as a com petitor for the Cup to be sailed for at the regatta on the 22d inst. "I beg leave, in reply, to say, that as the period of my visit is rit cessirily limited, and as much time may to c9nsurneel in awaiting answers from the proprietors of schooners, wiliont intending to withoraw that proposition., and although it is my intention to falter for the Cur, provided I am allowel tc sail the America in such a manner as her rig require', yet, as the issue of a regatta is net always the test of the merits of the vessels engaged in it, I now propose to run the yacht America against any cutter, schooner, or vessel of any ether rig of the Royal Yacht Squadron, relinquishing any advantage which your rules admit is due to a schooner from a cutter, but cisiming, the right to sail the America in such manner (by such booming out) a.s her raking masts require. " The course to be in the English Channel with not lees than a six knot breczo. The race to come off some day before the 17th inst. The distance to be not lees than 20, nor orer 70 miles, out and Ina, and in such a direction as to test the qualities of the vessels before' and ' by' the wind. " Ali hough it would be most agreeable to me that this race should be run for a cup of limited value, yet, if it is preferred, lam willing to stake upon the issue any Rllll not to exceed 10,000 guineas. " I am, &c., " JOHN C. STEVENS, "Commodore Now York Yacht Club. "To the Earl of Wilton, Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, Cowes." Neither this challenge nor the first challenge which was given to schooners exclusively has been accepted up to this date, and the America has been accordingly entered to sail for the Cup on Friday, the 221 inst., and will start, as Commodore Stevens says in his note, " if there is any wind."

Hayes St. Leger, only son and heir of Viscount Doneraile, led to the hymeneal altar the beautiful daughter of Mr. Lenox Conyngham. The bridal party arrived at the church shortly after eleven o'clock, the bride being attended by a train of youthful bridesmaids, among whom were the Lady Elizabeth l3utler, Miss Elliott, Miss Greville, and Miss Burnaby. The bride was given away by her father, and at the conclusion of the ceremony the party repaired to the residence of the bride's father in Eaton-place, where a handsome dejeunee was served to a select party of friends of both families. Early in the afternoon the newly-wedded pair left town for Salt-hill, whence they go to Doneraile-house, county Cork, to pass the honeymoon. [ADVERTISEMENT.] -- Holloway's Ointment and Pills, a most excellent remedy for Abscesses and Old Wounds. —Thomas Edwards, a labourer in Portsmouth Dockyard, re ceived a severe hurt in his thigh, about four years back, by a piece of timber falling on him. An abscess formed in conse quence of the injury, which defied the most eminent surgeons to heal, and he was consequently pronounced incurable, and put on the superannuated list with a pension. Being now at liberty to try other remedies, ho commenced using Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which have so effectually cured him that he enjoys good health, and is as well able to work as any man. —Sold by all venders of medicines, and at Professor Hollo way's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. BRITISH ARCHISSOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION. Oa Monday evening the eighth annual meeting of this associa tion commenced at Derby, and was tolerably well attended. Among those present, besides Sir Oswald Mosley, the presie dent for the year, were the Mayor of Derby, James Heywood, Esq., Dr. John Lee, Rear-Admiral Sir W. H. Dillon, K.C.H., Sir Fortunatus Dsvarris, T. J. Pettigrew, Esq., H. Stevens, Esq., &c. The president, in his inaugural adress, after some introductory observations on the interesting nature of archaeological pursuits, related some curious circumstances regarding Derbyshire, from the time of the ancient Britons, when it formed part of an immense forest, to modern times, when it was the scene of the establishment of silk manufac ture, in 1717, by the ingenious but ill-fated ,mechanic John Lombe—of the desperate invasion of England by Charles Edward, in 1745 (the house in which be took up his head quarters remains to this day, in much the same state as it then was) —and, finally, of the first idea of the Crystal Palace, " conceived by the mind of Paxton, and executed by the hand of Fox." The speech was well received, and called forth a cordial vote of thanks from the meeting. The treasurer (Mr. Pettigrew) then read a paper entitled "Cur sory Remarks on Antiquities ;" and the proceedings closed With several interesting lectures—one delivered by Mr. Planthe on the " Armorial Bearings of the Earls de Ferrers ;" another "On the Local Laws, Courts, and Customs of Derbyshire," by Sir Fortunatus Dwarris ; and the last dis course consisted of " Extracts from Church Registers, and some Municipal Notices of Derby," prepared by Mr. T.

THE HERRING FISHERY IN THE NORTH. —The Wick herring fishery has not been so prosperous last week, the rough weather having seriously retarded its progress ; 30 cargoes have, however, teen shipped for Stettin.

Barnes, Esq., in the chair. A letter was read from George Thompson, Esq., M.P. (one of the trustees), regretting his inability to attend. Mr. G. Ha gget t, the secretary, read the annual report of the committee, of which the following is an extract : " The committee submit to the members a report of the society, and in so doing they have much plea sure in bring again enabled to present a favourable account of its condition. I . s progress is best marked by the increase of its members. The number of shares now held is 1,340, inclusive of those taken up on the Moulsey es tat e , an d th e t ota l rece ipt s o f th e society since its formation amount to 7,9681. is. 61 Im pressed with the m agn it u d e o f th e i n t ere sts committed to their care the committee have persevered in the course which received ti.e approbation of the mem bers at their fi rs t annua l meet i ng, they : h ave ac coruingly bent their efforts, not to merely nume rous and rapid purchases of estates, but to the acquisition of uequestionable good ones, such es should sustain the credit el . the society, by the undoubted value of each of the particulat allotments. Of the many offers made, the committee have thought it expedient to accept only one, namely, for the purchase of '24 acres at Reigate (where there are a large number of members), at the price of 3,0001. This estate will be allotted in the course of the present autumn. Your committee are now in treaty for an estate in Middlesex, in a loeality suited to the requirements of many of their members. A.s to the estate at East Moulsey, the committee have to report that the division of it has been completed in the most satisfactory manner, and several houses are in course of erection, th e restr i ct i ons w hi c h t h ey in troduced into the c onveyances have met with entire approbation, and have most materially enhanced the value of the property, and the committee have the gratification of pointing to this purchase as an ample testimony of the correctness of the principles adopted by the society. The land was bou g ht f or t h e sum of 4,7251., and it has been distributed to the allottees at 5,5821., or about 17 per cent., inclusi ve o f a ll expenses, while in some other societies the increase on the original cost had been nearly 100 per cent, or at the same rate at which estates of such other so cieties had been allotted. The Moulsey property would have cost the allottees nearly 12,0001., instead of 5,8001. No charge has.been made to the mortgag ing members for interest on the money advanced to them, except the very trifling amount of interest on any mum temporarily borrowed to complete a pur chase, whil e b e i ng pu t i n t o immediate pcsaession of their allotments they are placed in a position of reap ing the e ar li est advantages o f w hi c h their treeholas are capable. The committee feel it incumbent to re cord their deep sense of the invaluable services ren dered to the society by th e L an d C omm itt ee , t o whose practical experience may be attributed the advantageous purchases already made, and their acknowledgment, are specially due to Messrs. Vine and Pemberton, the purchasers on be half of the society, for the gratuitous superin tendebce and indefatigable att.ntion given by them to the society ; and thrcugh their aid the expense of allotting the Moulsey estate is less by some 2001. than it would otherwise have been. With regard to the constitutional and political results of the East Meal sey and Reigate estates, the committee may observe that 140 additional freeholders will have votes for the western division, and about 130 for the eastern divi sion. Already the names of 50 new freeholders ap pear on the list of voters for the former electoral dis trict, and the Reigate purchase, in addition to its being one of the most eligible building sites in the county, is within the boundary of the borough, which comprises about 200 votes, occupying houses chiefly in the hands of one landlord, while the occupiers of the allotments of the members will be independent of similar influence. The committee recommend the following alteration in the rules—' That of the number of allotments in every future purchase, portion, not exceeding one-half, shall be offered to members (according to seniority of membership) who shall agre" to pay up the whole cost of their allot ments, together with a charge of five per cent. on the amount of such cost to be applied towards the defrayal of the general expenses of this society ; and the re maining allotments shall be exclusively devoted to the other members in rotation, all parties jointly balloting for priority of choice.'—The effect of this alteration will Le to enable the society to purchase whenever a desirable opportunity offers, and consequently to expe dite t he subscribing members obtaining their allotment. In advising this step the committee have sought to avoid what they conceive to be a most objection able element, namely, the practice of bailotting fot allotments, the tendency of which is to induce re liance upon chance and not upon the prudence and forethought of the members. The committee cannot conclude their report without adding their own testimony to that already borne by tbo members in their re-election of the solicitor and the secretary at the last meeting to the untiring zeal and very great ability with which Mr. G. E. Deane, and Mr. G. liuggett, the gentlemen who respectively fill these offices, have discharged their highly important duties." The report was unanimously adopted, the altera. Lion in the rules cgrecd to, and a vote of thanks to the chairman cloud the proceedings. THE AMERICAS PRINTER.—" I pity the printer," said my uncle, Toby. "He's a poor creature,' rejoined Trim. "How so ?" said my uncle. "Because, in the first place," continued the corporal, looking full upon my uncle, "he must endeavour to please everybody. In the negli gence of a moment, perhaps, a small paragraph pops upon him. He hastily throws it to the compositor; it is inserted, and he is ruined to all intents and purposes." " Too much the case Trim," said my uncle, with a deep sigh; " too much the case." " And please your honour," continued Trim, elevating his voice, and striking into an imloring attitude, " this is not th e w h o l e ." "Go on, Trim," said my uncle, feelingly. " The printer sometimes," pursued the cerpor ral, " hits upon a piece that pleases mightily, and he thinks that it cannot but go down with his subscribers. But, alas ! Sir, who can calculate the human mind? He inserts it, and it is all over with him. They forgive others, but they cannot forgive a printer. He has a host to print for, and every one sets up for a critic. The pretty Miss exclaims, ' Why don't he give us more poetry, marriages, and ben mots '—away with these stale pieces-2 The poli• tician claps his specs on nose, and reads it over in Muth of a violent invective; lie finds none, takes his specs off, folds them, sticks them in his pocket, declaring the paper good for nothing but to burn. So it goes. Every one thinks it ought to be printed expressly for him as a sub. scriber ; and yet. after all this complaining, would you be lieve it, Sir," said the corporal, clasping his hands beseech ingly, " would you believe it, Sir, there are Some sub scribers who do not hesitate . to cheat the printer out of his pay?" —American Paper.
