WHAT THE WORLD SAYS.

II R.II. the Dichosa of E linbursh and her children
bare entirely recovered from the mammies. Next week,
when the forty days reqnired by Imp nial etiqoett• to be
passed in St. Petenbure after the funeral of s member of
the Imperial family will hum slaw& the Duchess will
take her d manure for Cohurx.

The mad news of the death of Mr. ralies cast a gloom
over C.isree ; all the yachts in the offieg hung their
pennona half-mast high, out of respect fee so well-known
arid mt mated a member of the RY.CI. Many tenons had
conversed with Mr. Mice in the (leak only the Saturday
previous to his death, which took place on Tuesday last.
Air. Ellice dropped down is the cabin of his yacht that
morning opposite Porthnd Isle; ths cause of death was
angina pectoris. Mr. IC lice appeared to be in perfect
health and spirits when at °owes two days previously.

The victory of the Prim of Wales's cutter in the Queen's
cup was universally popular. No more spirited !sportsman
exists, and every yachtsman must admire the plucky way
In which his Rya' Rightism bee borne the repeated
disappointment.. Indicted 11P011 him by his new teirclime,
Formosa. The fact is patent that if the Prince of Wales
wishes to " mop up the pots," as I beard an old yachtsman
express it, he ought to build a new vessel—for himself.
The Formosa is not worse this season than she was lest;
she 8011 beata the old Arrow and other veteran competi.
