WILYMOUTH TOWN REG4tTTA.

Very favourable drottmetanne ushered in the shoed
day's regatta, for there was neither rain soy mist, to
make vkitan miserable old hut in the view of the
yacht rams. A fresh racing breeze had

nurse, yet it was not so violent at first as to prevent
them carrying a fullohested show of bellying balloon
sails. Thk could not be done all day, for the breeze I

on board, or something or other would have carried,
and lad the unlucky one's thence. No snob mishap
occurred, as far as we have heard, everything went
slink, like, as our Yankee Maeda say' well-greased
lightning, from first to lase. On board the committee
cutter Skylark were Sir Frederic Johnstone, Bart.,
M.P., whoa we congratulate on his taking • personal
interest in the amusements of his town, Mr. Henry
Neingle, boo. sec., Mr. H. T. George, Mr. Polly
Hooper, Captains Shone and Gould, Mr. H. Rey-
nolds, and Mr. Johns, and the committee were within
an ace of having a more distinguished personage, for
hewing that the Primo Minister wee in Portland
Roads, Mr. Nangle wrote at once inviting_ Mr. Glad-
stone and party on board the cutter. To this the
following reply wee returned :
" August 21,1840, IL D.Y.C. Uhler.
"Dear Sir —Mr. Gladstone desires ms to ask you to

gave her a little advantage, but not over Buttercup,
which, hoisting • great baffoon lonia& drew ahead of the

The latter reached faster than the rest, and gained on
Buttercup, which, about this time, got into efficaltise
with ties spinnaker boom, which seethed to have takes
charge, and they were obliged to stow it up; the
remarkable qualities of Buttercup still kept her ahead
