lad proved as great a nuisance as the Board of Health had been to the metropolis. (A laugh.) The estimate of the ex p e nse was originally 13,844/. and the contract price 12,3001. Well, ° the actual cat had been upwards of 28,000/., and the compensation for damages, of which they had been warned over and over again, was 5,0001., besides claims sent in by the Duke of Northumberland. for 11,0001., and others sent in, and now lying on the table, to the amount of 15,000/. So that the original estimate of 13,0001. had been swelled to 49,000 1 . ' • and it appeared from further inquiry that the wo rk had been most imper fectly executed. A surveyor who had been called in to measure it had divided the whole course of the sewer into thirty-eight lengths, and of those no less than thirty-seven lengths had not been carried out according to the plans and levels originally laid down. It appeared from further surveys that the whole of the work was in so imperfect a state that it would be almost impossible to render it efficient or available. He found that in the four metro politan boroughs of Marylebone, Finsbury, Tower Ham lets, and Westminster, there were no less than 106,294 houses paying a duty of 212,2811., and containing a popu lation of 1,475,451 ' • and he thought it ex t reme ly hard t h ese immense districts should not h ave th e power of man aging their own affairs. If no new wor k s were under taken beyond those that were absolutely necessary, and if none of any magnitude were und er t a k en w ith ou t th e con sent of the inhaitant household ers , the objections whicl existed to the continuance of the commission would be materially modified. Mr. PETO having been appointed one of the commis sion of engineers and scientific men to inquire into the various plains proposed for the drainage of the metropolis, wished to make a few observations. The two principles which they had laid down were, first, that the sewerage should be carried down to such a distance below London as would prevent its being carried back by the tide ; the second was, there should be a system of deep sewerage into which the metropolis should be drained by the force of gravitation, and that pumping should only be resorted to where it was absolutely necessary. They found, however, that they could not carry out these plans under the exist ing commission, and had resigned their offices, it being im possible to act satisfactorily with the existing body. They had certainly done their best to place a practical plan be fore the metropolis, and they were ready still to give their time and best advice to the Government. He felt that the metropolitan members had some right to complain, and unless the commission had the entire confidence of the pub lic, he believed it would be impossible for them to acquit themselves satisfactorily. The hon. baronet had referred to the large expenses incurred by the commissioners of sewers, and the cost of management ; but taking the whole amount expended in the previous year, he found the ex penses of management did not exceed 17/ per cent. With reference to the existing state of the metropolis as regarded its drainage, nothing could be more painful, and nothing more calculated to affect most seriously the health of the population. It must be a subject of the deepest anxiety to all to learn, that as regarded the south side of London, for 16 hours out of the 24 the whole of that area was little better than a huge cesspool. It had been painful to him (Mr. Pete) to receive reports from the medicalofficers of oc the effects of bad sewerage upon the health of the inhabi tants of the metropolis, and to be unable to apply a re medy. He recommended the noble lord (Palmerston) to consider and consult during the recess as to the adoption of comprehensive and efficient measures for the redress of this great evil. (H ear .) It was a disgrace to the country that London should be, in this respect, behind anc i en t cities such as Rome—the sewerage of which had been sin gularly effective and complete. If the noble lord would consult with practical men, and constitute an efficient comm i ss i on , he would find no difficulty in devising means to supply the metropolis with a good system of sewerage. He suggested especially, that no work be undertaken with out the opinion and approbation of the first-rate engineers, like Mr. Cubitt—(hear)—let there be no partial plans, but a well-considered and complete s y s t em of drainage for the metropolis. (Hear.) Sir J. SHELLEY did not consider that the present Board of Sewers deserved the confidence of the metropolis. They might comprise individuals of eminence, but these were not the persons who really did the business. This was done by very different parties. It was all very well to talk of Sir J. Burgoyne and gentlemen like him, but out of 34 courts in one year, Sir J. Burgoyne had only attended six, and Captain Beche a similar number. (Hear, hear.) Again, out of 55 comm itt ees (i n w hi c h th e real work was done), Sir J. Burgoyne attended only eleven, and Captain Beche eight. A great deal had been said as to the plan proposed by the commissioners—would it be carried out by the works now proposed? Why, one part of it was this : the drainage of the north of London was to be conducted through Hackney -brook, a stream which for four miles ran through fields, and which was to be covered over, at an enormous expense, for the sake of carrying off the drainage of the proposed new city market, to which expense the city was to contribute only 2,0001. ; and the sewerage was to be discharged into the river Lea, close to the West London Waterworks. No one out of the house had the least confidence in the present board of commis sioners. Mr. Chadwick had sought to carry out his own absurd theories, for which purpose he had got rid of the experienced officers of the old commission. The worst drainage was south of the Thames ; yet, in defiance of the opinion of Sir R. Stephenson, the commissioners did not propose to execute any works for the present in that dis trict. The noble lord had promised the introduction of the representative principle into the board. It was un reasonable that a lawyer should be appointed to preside over the sewers commission. No man " learned in the law" could be learned in drainage. Why, any man who had tried to drain for agricultural purposes knew it would take twenty years to understand the system. It was better to have no drainage than bad drainage, for to cure it was almost impossible. The present commission was devoid of all power to remedy the evil. But none of the commis sioners were so bad as Mr. Chadwick, who was a perfect pest wherever he went. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) No thing but a great comprehensive scheme of drainage would be effective, and it would be better to defer any endeavours to redress the evil until it could be done well. Mr. BUTLER declared that the Tower Hamlets bad no confidence in the commissioners, and complained of their conduct. The inhabitants had been paying rates for 100 years, and had yet no efficient drainage. (Hear.) Indeed, they were worse off than before, since they had been depaived of the benefit of natural watercourses, and there had been no sewers constructed at all since 1847, when the old commission expired. (Hear, hear.) The registrar general of deaths continually appended to his returns of mortality statements relative to the condition of the sewerage as the cause of the deaths which occurred. In 1847 the powers of the local commissioners were ab rogated, and their duties were undertaken by others. But what should Sir Edward North Buxton know about the duties of a sewers commissioner ? The local rector, again, the Rev. Mr. Stone, was made a commissioner of sewers. That rev. gentleman might bo very eligible for a bishopric, but was not peculiarly qualified for the lay post to which the Government appointed him. The re medy he (Mr. Butler) would propose would be the appoint ment of local boards, composed of men of standing and ability, with a supplementary commission called an outlet commission. Let the present commission be continued for one year, but he hoped that in the recess the noble lord would turn his attention to the suggestion he had made. Mr. WILKINSON expressed his surprise that the great pains confessedly bestowed on this subject had not been productive of some permanently beneficial result. Lord PALMERSTON said that at present his mouth was closed. (A laugh.) If the house would go into com mittee he would state his intentions. Mr. EVELYN suggested the addition of a clause to the effect that some company should undertake the operations in hand this year, the works to revert to some more com prehensive machinery at a future period. He did not think that the Thames would ever be purified by govern ment commissions, and looked for that consummation to private competition alone. Lord D. STUART objected to the instruction to the committee proposed by the noble lord (Palmerston). His constituents had no objection to make sacrifices in the interest of the public health, but they first wished to have good measures submitted to them. In the meantime they feared they might be put to vast expense without any corresponding object being secured. He did not believe the public had confidence in this sewers commission, and thought they would much rather subscribe the money in order to put an end to it than continue its power. The public ho believed would have no confidence in the present proposal of the Government. Mr. MALINS thanked the metropolitan members who had spoken for the explanations they had volunteered with regard to this sewers question. He was not disposed to refuse the money asked for provided there was an as surance given that the money would be properly applied. But at present it was doubtful whether the deep or shal low system of drainage was to be pursued, and this point ought Primarily to be settled. He wished, therefore, that an assurance should be given that the money to be taken from the pockets of the people would be expended for a strictly sanitary purpose in the interest of the public. He hoped, moreover, that the noble lord would refrain from putting merely ornamental names on the commission— (hear, h ear)—and that in its reconstruction he would be number s solicitous to o bt a i n a few working men rather than mere , who could not devote themselves to the discharge of their duties.

He a g ain re p eated that care sho uld be taken in expending the money usefully. Therewere about 2,000 miles of streets in the metropolis, and only 900 miles were supplied with sewerage, therefore 1,100 miles re quired to be supplied. As Milton described the evils of populous cities— " Where houses thick and sewers annoy the air." How much more must the air be annoyed where there were no sewers to houses. (Hear and laughter.) Sir W. CLAY hoped the noble lord would take care hat no money should be laid out except on the advice and suggestion of qualified persons. Sir B. HALL thought it advisable the commissioners should have a plan of the metropolis prepared, which could be obtained by ratepars and parishes on application, and this would very much facilitate the determination of the Legislature. Sir J. SHELLEY was better satisfied now that the commissioners missioners would not have the sole power of ex p endin g money, but were to do nothing without first consult ing the engineers. He hoped the noble lord would compel the commissioners to say that the engineers should look at the whole system of drainage, and not merely begin upon some fancy piece of at first anxious to h work, such as the commissioners were was attempted to be a have enclosed, before anything general Mr. A.

The rest of the clauses were agreed to, and the bill passed through committee. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES BILL. On going into committee, in reply to a question, Mr. WILSON said, the object of the bill was to relieve the commissioners of the national debt from the burden of paying certain insurance offices and friendly societies too high a rate of interest ; but it would not affect the smaller friendly societies. After a few words from Mr. Sotherton, Sir H. Wil loughby, Mr. Spooner, and Mr. Wilson, the bill was ordered to be reported. CUSTOMS BILL. The Customs Bill, as amended, was agreed to, and the bill passed through committee. Mr. SAWLE complained that smugglers sentenced to Imprisonment had to be supported by the county, whereas the Customs department were bound in law to maintain them. Mr. WILSON admitted that there was considerable hardship in the case, and he had suggested that the Com missioners of Customs should point out the propriety of convicted smugglers when they believed it to exist. The whole subject was, however, under consideration. DEFACING THE COIN. The Defacing the Coin Bill was read a third time and passed. LINEN MANUFACTURES (IRELAND). The Linen Manufactures (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. CROWN SUITS. The Crown Suits Bill, as amended, was agreed to, and ordered to be read a third time. FEMALE CONVICTS.

COMMONS INCLOSURE. The Commons Inclosure (No. 3) Bill went through com mittee. HACKNEY CARRIAGES. On the motion that the Hackney Carriages Bill be read a third time, Colonel SIBTHORP said he felt great interest in the bill for one motive alone—namely, his desire to see a pro per arrangement of the hackney carriages, for the purpose of ensuring the lives and the safety of the public. Only a few days ago he saw no less than four omnibuses abreast in Regent-street, leaving no possible room for even a female to pass. Loss of life and limb had ensued from the misconduct of the set of persons engaged in omnibuses, some of whom were among the greatest ruffians on the face of the earth. He had, therefore, framed a set of resolu tions white he believed would meet the case, and which he hoped the house would adopt. If his servant offered an insult to any one, he should feel it his duty to punish him. Under these circumstances he moved the resolutions " That no omnibus or public carriage of that description shall be permitted to take up or set down any passenger in the middle or centre of any public street, road, or tho roughfAre, but on each side of the street, road, or thorough fare adjoining the pavement or causeway when going or coming to and fro ; penalty for each offence 405., or im prisonment for one month. That the name and residence of each proprietor, as well as driver, of each carriage, be printed on each card or ticket that is to be delivered by each driver to the person or parties.requiring such card or ticket at the time of hiring ; penalty for omission 405., or one month's impri sonment. " That no driver or other person connected with such public carriage shall occupy or sit within side of any such cab or public carriage during the time such cab or public carriage is on the public stand, or during the period that any such shall be hired. Penalty each offence 405., or one month's imprisonment. " That the police officers on duty in each street or dis trict be authorised and have full power to take cognisance of any misconduct on the part of any driver of any public carriage, or other person connected therewith, or for neglect or deviation from the enactments of the bill, and either to rectify at the time or make special report thereof in each case, and act as referees as to any complaint by any person or party concerned." Mr. LOWE was sorry he could not consent to the clauses proposed by the hon. and gallant gentleman. They were at variance with the principle of the bill, and as they were of a penal nature they ought to have gone through the usual ordeal of the bill. The police already had a discre tionary power with regard to omnibuses drawing up in the middle of the street. The printing of the name of the driver would be attended with great inconvenience, as in the event of the driver being discharged the proprietor would not have cards printed with the name of the new driver. He had no great faith in the wisdom of a police officer, and for these reasons he must oppose the clauses. Colonel SIBTHORP would have more confidence in the wisdom of a police-officer than in that of half the members of the Treasury bench. (A laugh.) Whether his clauses were rejected or not, he felt that he had done his duty, and let hon. gentlemen opposite be responsible. The clauses were then put and negatived. Sir D. NORREYS then moved the admission of the fol lowing clause :—" That in any case of dispute as to dis tance which cannot be decided by reference to the book of fares, which the commissioners of police are authorised to publish, the magistrate presiding may determine the same by measurement on some authentic copy of the Ordnance map of London, or on the reduced copy thereof already published under the authority of the Board of Ordnance ; and in order to determine the points of hiring and setting down, where the hiring may not be from an authorised cab stand, the place of hiring shall be taken to be the first street, or passage, or public building, or any object dis tinctly marked on such map, which shall be passed after hiring, and the place of setting down shall be the last street, passage, building, or object which shall be passed before setting down ; and if the place of setting down, or to which the hackney carriage shall be driven, shall be in a street which is not intersected by any other street, or which has in it no building or object so marked on the map as aforesaid, the magistrate may, at his discretion, according to the evidence, take the end or middle of such street as the point to which such carriage shall have been driven, or at which the hirer thereof shall have been set down." _ _ Mr. LOWE could not agree with the clause. It was open to the same objection as the other, being a too minute legislation. Parties at present could make use of the Ord nance map, but where an objection was raised then there must be an actual admeasurement. He thought the clause was somewhat indefinite, and was also on that account objectionable. Mr. F. SCULLY then moved the insertion of the fol lowing clause :—" That the proprietor of every hackney carriage or metropolitan stage carriage, licensed to ply for hire within the limits of this act, who shall withdraw his carriage from hire for two consecutive days, or for any two days in one week, without just cause, of which the magis trate before whom the complaint is heard shall be the judge, shall be liable to a penalty of a sum not exceeding 20s. in respect for every carriage for each day he shall so withdraw the same ; and the licence of such proprietor shall be suspended or recalled, and taken away at the dis cretion of the said commissioners of police : provided always, that it shall be lawful for such proprietor, upon giving 10 days' notice to the commissioners of police, to withdraw his carriage from hire." It would prevent the very great inconvenience to the public that occurred a short time since, and would not operate unfairly to the proprie tors or owners of cabs or carriages. ➢lr. FREWEN had been informed that the loss calcu lated to have been sustained by the cab proprietors by the late strike, which lasted three days, was as much as 2,500/. Sir J. SFIELLEY-2,500/. a-day. - --- . Mr. FREWEN—If that were the case, then he thought they would be cautious how they repeated the experi ment. And, under these circumstances, he doubted if it would be wise to substitute the proposition of the hon. member. Lord D. STUART considered the remedy proposed was an objectionable one, and he trusted the house would not agree to it. It would operate most tyranically upon indi viduals engaged in the hackney carriage trade ; and he should therefore vote against the proposition. Sir J. SHELLEY said that the house had not only the cab proprietors to protect, but the public out of doors, who had been put to great inconvenience by the late strike. The proposition of the hon. member (Mr. F. Scully) was a reasonable one, and he should give it his cordial support. Mr. W. J. FOX said it was within his knowledge that many of the drivers were much dissatisfied with the late strike. He should support the clause. e l 4 Wr. LOWE sa id th e cab proprietors had had all the con c ,Wsi was con cessions they required before they struck, and he thought it , only just that the public should bo protected from such c ombinations, which had for their object, not so much Povrer oi of the carrying for the Home any particular point, as the exhibition of the to it. to s a y th at hi ll:Parties engaging in them.

CLAY seconded the clause, and suggested that the line to go v e rn the minor, or City fares, shou ld be in an e lliptical, instead of a circular form, the form of the Cit y being elliptical and not circular. Mr. SPOONER thought it would be advisable to have 1 two points from wh ich to calculate the distances —one for cabs going w estward from Cha rin g -cross, the other east ; ' ward from St. Paul's. red. Spooner, and said the clause ought to be re-consic e Mr. FREWEN concurred in op and Mr. the re-con sideration of the bill that prevailed, moved that Colonel SIBTHORP, seeing the diff erenee of opinion . be postpone( 1 to a future day, and that the matter be left to the sole direction of Lord Palmerston. Cork. for Mr. LOWE said h e had no objection to adopt the clause proposed by the hon. mem ber (Mr. Scully) After a few words from Mr. FOX, The clause was agreed to, and added to the bill. h ac k n ey car. Mr. sus© moved the addition of the following words to c 14 :—" And whenever any riage shall be hired or discharged between the hours of twelve o'clock at midnight and half-past four in the morn ing, the person or persons hiring the said carriage shall be required to pay half as much again in addition to the fare directed to be paid under the said act of the 16th and 17th years of the reign of her present Majesty, chap. 33, any thing contained in the said act, or in the schedule thereto, to the contrary, notwith standin g . Mr. P. O'BRIEN supported the proposition. Mr. LOWE decidedly should object to any such propo- sition. (Hear, hear, and divide.) The clause was negatived without a division. Lord D. STUART moved a clause to the effect that an appeal be given the cab proprietors from the decision of the police magistrate. The noble lord said that everybody was dissatisfied with this hasty and ill-considered legisla tion. If they had allowed the bill to go before a commit tee, as was suggested, an efficient measure, which would have given all parties satisfaction, would have been produced. He proposed that an appeal in respect to the refusal of licence should be made to the quarter ses sions, with a proviso that the refusal to grant a licence shall be valid pending the appeal. In respect to the decision of a police magistrate upon a single complaint against a driver, an appeal shall also be granted on the party giving forty-eight hours' notice of appeal, and producing two sureties for double the amount of the penalty, as well as for the amount of costs. He thought it but fair that the same justice which was given to the drivers and owners of vehicles in Dublin should be also given to the same classes in London. Mr. SPOONER seconded the motion. Mr. LOWE objected to those clauses, because they had been fully considered by the committee, and disapproved of. He apprehended that this appeal would in effect be a repeal of the provisions of the act ; for any gentleman would submit to extortion rather than subject himself to the ordeal of such an appeal as was proposed. Mr. I. BUTT confessed he had a very strong opinion in favour of granting an appeal, and he thought that it should be a very strong case that would induce the house to refuse one. The appeal was given in Dublin, and he could not understand why it should be refused in London. The house divided — For the clause Against it Majority .. 27 ~ 41 .. -14 The bill then Passed.

Berkeley, Grenville EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATIONS.-GREAT LOSS OF PROPERTY. The engines and firemen of the London Brigade and West of England Office were actively employed from the hour of ten p.m. on Monday until half-past seven o'clock yesterday morning, there having been during that period several fires within the metropolitan district. One outbreak occurred in the extensive premises of Mr. H. Levy, wholesale furniture-dealer, No. 1, Ro berts'-terrace, Commercial-road, St. George's-in-the- East. The discovery was made by a police-officer of the H division, who, in passing the premises, perceived fire issuing from the warehouses at the rear of the main building. He immediately gave an alarm, and having succeeded in arousing the inmates, he sent for the en gines and escapes. In a very brief period the engines of the London Brigade, that of the parish, and the escapes of the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire, attended. By that time, however, the flames had obtained complete possession of the back warehouse, and were attacking with full vigour, the shop and other parts of the house. A plentiful supply of water having been obtained from the mains of the East London Company, the engines were set to work under the directions of Mr. Fogo, but in spite of the most strenuous exertions of all present the work of devastation continued, and before the flames could be conquered the whole range of back warehouses were burnt out, and the shop and remainder of house and contents seriously damaged by fire. The origin of the misfortune is enveloped in obscurity. Fortunately Mr. Levy was insured for the stock in trade, &c., in the Sun Fire Office, and the building was insured in the Union Office. Another fire took place in the premises of Mrs. Jane Cotterell, chair-maker, No. 4, Whitmore-row, Hoxton New Town. It began in the next floor, and when dis covered had obtained such a firm hold of the building that there seemed little chance of saving any portion of the premises in which the disaster commenced, or even those of Mr. Jessop, oilman, next door. No time was lost in sending for the engines, and forthwith several of the London Brigade reached the spot, and also that of the West of England Insurance Company. The firemen then found that the flames had taken possession of several rooms in the building, and were issuing through the roof so fiercely as to threaten with destruction the oil and colour stores of Mr. Jessop ; in fact, the fire had seized upon the second floor. The firemen, therefore, at once went to work from an abundant supply of water, which was so distributed over the adjoining property as to cut off the further spread of the fearful element ; but the conflagration was not extinguished until the upper part of Mrs. Cotterell's premises were destroyed, half of the roof burnt off; and the remainder of the house, &c., severely damaged. The loss will fall on the Phoenix and Sun Fire Office. Mr. Jessop's premises were also damaged, and are insured in the British Empire Mutual Office. The origin of this fire is likewise unknown. A fire also happened in the premises belonging to Mr. Stellavio Aspe, No. 9, Queen-street, Golden-square, which was nearly attended with fatal consequences to several of the inmates. The flames originated in the second-floor, and when first perceived had obtained a stron g hold of the furniture and beds. The various resi dentshaving effected a safe retreat through the smoke, the engines were sent for, and soon arrived. Owing to the exertions of the firemen and residents, the fire was subdued, but not until considerable damage was done. The sufferer was fortunately insured in the Globe. Three other fires likewise occurred, but the damage done at each was trifling. FIRE IN CHEAPSIDE.—Last evening, shortly before six o'clock, considerable alarm was caused in Cheapside, consequence of opfrtehmeisseusddbeenlonogiutnbgreatko Messrs.

Feeling convinced that the place was on fire, he imme diately ran off to Watling-street engine station, from which depot two powerful engines were instantly dis patched to the scene of danger. The firemen then found that the flames were raging with great fury in one of the warehouses, which contained upwards of 1,0001. worth of paper, and for some time the destruction of the entire the building appeared inev it a ble.

Hereford, the coroner for that city, on the body of a man named Samuel Gregory, who was killed that morning on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. The deceased had got out of a train which had just arrived from Liverpool, at 9 o'clock, and attempted to cross the line between two trucks, when a train from Patricroft, which was on the same line of rails as the trucks, and had almost stopped, sud denly moved on faster, and struck the foremost of them, so that he was caught between the buffers. When he was relieved from his position life was almost extinct. He was conveyed to the infirmary, but died almost im mediately. The rails were exceedingly slippery at the place where the accident happened, owing to the fish being usually unloaded there, arid this was the cause of the Patricroft train moving faster, as the breaks would not hold. The jury found a verdict of "Accidental death," and recommended that the rails should be kept in better order, so as to prevent the occurrence of simi lar accidents in future. AQUATICS. ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB REGATTA. RYDE, TUESDAY EVENING. VISIT OF HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN. Since the communication of yesterday an immense number of visitors have flocked into this fashionable re sort of the island ; every train, both of the London and South-Western and the South Coast Railways, bringing down to Portsmouth vast crowds of persons, a large pro portion of whom immediately depart by the steam-boats for the Isle of Wight. The consequence is, that this town is now crowded to an extent unprecedented, at any rate, for many years ; and the lodging-house keepers are reap ing a truly golden harvest. Lodgings are scarcely to be obtained on any terms, and all other accommodation has risen in proportion. Amongst the more prominent of the visitors arrived since yesterday were—Admiral Lord Radstock, Sir J. Rivett Carnac, Captain and Mrs. Jones, the Duchess of Cleveland, the Hon. A. Kerr, Colonel Peisler, Mr. F. Peel, Lady Vane, the Ho n . St. J o h n M o tti ng , C. Wryld, Esq., J. H. Phillips, Esq. Captain Cust, Charles Brown, Esq., M.P., Lady Harrison, Sir George Pocock, &c. At an early hour this morning, in consequence of the extreme fineness of the weather, the pier was crowded with fashionables, amongst whom were elegantly-dressed ladies, and the amusements appeared to excite a very general interest. - The only match on the card for the day was a prize of 501. for schooners belonging to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club. The entries embraced the followidg yachts : Name. Tons. 0 WllerS. Genevra l4O ... Sir Percy Shelly, Bart. Shark l5O ... W. Curling, Esq. Vestal 74 ... B. G. Rowles, Esq. Novice Wanderer Derwent ll B... 31. E. Hoare, Esq. The course was from abreast of Ryde Pier, proceeding to the eastward, round the Nab light-ship, leaving it on the port hand, thence round the weathermost buoy of the middle, leaving it on the port hand, back to the sta tion vessel, passing between it and Ryde Pier— a course of about 23 miles. The time appointed for the start was 10.30 a.m., but at that time neither the Genevra or Shark had arrived. The Shark is an entirely new vessel this season, and re port gave out that she was to prove a real clipper. Her debut at this regatta was, therefore, regarded with no little interest by all classes. The following yachts only appeared at the station : Yachts. Tons. Owners._ Flags. _ Vestal.... 74...8. G. Rowles, Esq... White, with urn of fire. Novice... 79...A.Arcedeckne,Esq..Blue burgee, with lion. Derwent 118... M. E. Hoare, Esq... Red. At 11 h. 23 In. 30 sec. the starting-gun was fired, and they got away under a light breeze from the eastward. The Vestal was the first to get under weigh, followed by the Novice, but through some cause or other which could not at the moment be ascertained, the Derwent was some considerable time before she " made any sign" of motion. A most interesting race followed between the other two, the Vestel maintaining the lead well up to the No Man Buoy, which the Vestal came abreast of at 11.46, but the Novice was so well to the windward, and so evenly balanced were they in their powers, that no opinion at this point could be formed as to which of them would prove victorious. The Derwent was a long way astern. Having rounded the Nab Light they re turned, and arrived abreast of Ryde Pier as under : B. M. s. Vestal .. 3 12 0 Novice 3 13 0 They then went away for the remainder of the course to Cowes and back, but had not returned at the closing of this dispatch. To render the occasion more interesting, at 25 minutes past 4 o'clock the booming of the guns from the ships in Portsmouth harbour gave unmistakeable evidence that the Sovereign was approaching, and the sound of them had scarcely died away, when almost simultaneously, the Royal salute was taken up by the Duke of Welling ton and all the other vessels of the fleet, The firing was so regular as to resemble an immense volley. The ves sels were all dressed from stem to stern, and with the yards manned, presented a scene that has never before been witnessed. The little vessel Fairy, conveying her Majesty, with the Royal Standard flying at the maim, passed through the tiny fleet of yachts off Ryde. The committee vessel and the battery at the Club House also fired Royal salutes. The Royal vessels, Fairy, Elfin, and Victoria and Albert, then proceeded to Osborne House, where her Majesty arrived soon after 5 o'clock. GREAT ROWING MA TCH The contest for the coat, badge, mil freedom, gener ously presented by the Leander Club to watermen's ap prentices, took place last evening, at Putney, and was, as usual, highly attractive. The race was in three heats, the course being from Putney to Ham mersmith-bridge. First Heat. Alfred Ralph 1 Edward Redknap - 2 F. Styles - The winner took the lead, and carpe in well ahead. Styles was permitted to contend in the grand heat, owing to having been once qualified, :and the donors not liking to rescind it ; while Redknap' s legitimate claim was unnoticed, owing to his having lost his colour. Three others started. Second Heat. George Hemmings - 1 George Newman Four others started. The two Nil inners showed in front, Newman with, the lead, immediately after the start, and kept it. Final Heat. Ralph Styles __. Hemmings Newman Redknap They were all off at once, and a most beautiful race followed. Ralph took the lead awl kept it closely pressed to within two hundred yards ( if Hemmings, who, being put out of his course by a steam ier, lost the second place by half a length only, Styles having been close upon him all the way.
