UNFAVOURABLE REPORT PROM CHERBOURG.
It is with regret which, we doubt not, will be shared
even by those who fought for the legitimate interests of
the Pile-pier. that we report an unfavourable phase of the
arrangements respecting the propoem W.?mouth and
Cherbourg steamer line. A lengthy communication hae
been received from Kr. Grierma, of the Great Weskits
Railway Comoany, the net result of which seems to be
that the Weymouth Corporation had better impend for
the present their preparation. for the reception 01 the
expeMed steamer'. The cuma• of this surprising collapse,
after MI opposition had been overc me at Weymouth, is
understood to have arisen at Cherbourg, where the Place
allotted by the Preach authorities to Me steamboats Iv
said to be exposed to easterly winds, 40., that the gentle-
men who visited the port declined to recommend the
directors to pleas the steamboats there. It is saOsf ectory,
at all events, that no fault can be attributed to the
Weymouth Corporation ; the Kayo, and the majority
were willing to do everything to secure the traffic, and
we are sure the minority wished also to secure it, while
contending for what they believed to be vested rights.
At all event., the difficulty now comes from the French
side.

By the time the horewracing was over, the tide had
pretty well encroached, and well was it that they were
races on the road tint were fixed for ave, for nothing but
boating could have we ad on the site of the Bawd;
which by this time were covered with a high tide.

--As the handicapping placed them on more even terms,

covered that some Injury had been done to one of his

seen owing to the people closing in, and about opposite
the County Clubhouse, in the latter part of the race, a
man got across Mr. Seymour's course, that gentleman
checked his way, and caught a tumble, but was able
quickly to remount and ride in. Yr. Hansford wes about

of the evening was the attractive burlesque "(slob,
wherein were many picturesque groupings. Mr. Niche,
as the Goddess of Wisdom, was simply excruciating. So
approved have been the performances that the hoomes
seem to increase night after night, the company on Wed-

down so heavily as to make it almost impossible to take
any account of the doings. The animals, especially the

expecting no doubt that, with the ebb of the tide, the

we rould, however, have liked to have seen more
regularity as to the distances, and while men, with

face, others rode on with ' eyes front," we refer
to the rank and file, the officers of course saluted.
The band • played so well that it WY remarked few
Yeomanry regiments had such • hand. Raving formed
quarter-distance coiumn of squadrons, they subsequently
advanced in column of troops from the right, at • trot;
changed direction to the left, and wheeled into line.
This completed the parade movement., which were per-
formed very well indeed. The Colonel now gave his
special orders, and the real test of the troops began. They
advanced from the right of fours to the frost, then
opened out, and went through sword exercise, with pur-
suing practice, at a halt. Front formed ranks, and
advanced at a trot; retired in column of troops from the
right. In ,this movement it Ira. remarked that they
looked better than last year, when there was only •

they were almost complete. Wheeling into line followed;

at • trot; retired by fours frtom the right of roadrons,

being so sharp about it as the rest; perhaps they thought
there was not enough room, as they were near the
boundary dyke. Now the regiment took ground to the
left by fours, fronted, and advanced at. trot, and then at
a gallop. This was a splendid movement, the intervals
being very correctly kept By-and bye they formed
