ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.

COWES. Accosr 7.
It appears now to be decided that there will be
no race under the auspices of the squadron this week, and
that the year 1862, so memorable in many respects, will be
marked by a hiatus in the long list of cm:tests for aquatic
fame w►ich bare taken place since the establishment of the
Royal Yacht Squadron. The public and the numerous mis-
guided visitors here are still eagerly ioquiriog the reason
why they have been so much disappointed,; sod although
mazy explanations of the real reason are correct, there is
the best authority fee saying that the word " misapprehen-
sion" used yesterday explains the whole mystery. About
three mouths it was understood from high quarters that
her Majesty had expressed certain wishes on the subject of
the squadron regatta and the town aquatic festival, and on
the supposition that the Queen's Cup would be forth-
coming the usual announcements were made; but it wee

only on an application being made in the usual manner by
the ►oe. stiormary to the committee of the town regatta
that the mistake was discovered, and that there was no
ietention that the squadron at tows regatta should take
' plan. Hops, however, cheers the luckier yachtsmen and
admirers of scientific sailing, and the year 1863 is looked
forward to as • year of revival, when it is ardently
hoped that an illustrious successor may be found to succeed
the late Prioce Consort as patron of the Royal Yacht
Squadron, that the two royal cups may be then forth-
coming, and that these, combined with prizes offered by the
squadron, will have the effect of drawing hither so large •
Oast of yachts, sad of claming so much of honourable
emulation between their owners, that the enema of the
festival may cause all the unpleasantness which has arisen
this year to be forgotten.
It is understood that the race between the Sultana and
the Albertine, brought to an untimely conclusion yesterday
by the ma falling overboard, will ire resumed as ems as the
split foresail of the latter Tweet has been repaired.
There is • great gale of wiled here today from W.S. W.,
and a strong ma is ruseiag in the Solent, while outside the
waves are strong enough to smother any small craft that
may be found •here. No yachts are in consequence under
weigh, and the whole Beet are lying at their moorings in
the roads with topmasts struck, and all made as snug as
possible, while the " unlucky folks on shore" are blessing
their stars that they are not expand to the drenching
showers which are falling at intend&

. T INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

The system of organised "excursions," or rather,
perhaps, we should say, of excursions, to the Great
ftlibition, may now be said to be in full swing, as
the!ollowing formidable list of schools and parties
for yesterday will testify :-45 scholars from Ling-
field (Surrey) National School, expenses paid by
subscription • 50 scholars from Tunbridge Wells
National School, ditto ; 36 scholars from Bir-
stead (Kent) National School, ditto ; 66 scholars
from All Saints School, Clapham-park, by the
Rev. J. Scott; 10 scholars from St. John's (Pad-
dington) Servant.' Fraining School, by the Hon.
Mrs. Kinnaird ; 22 scholars from Leytenstone
National School, by the committee ; 67 scholars
from Southborough (Kent) National School, by
H. Crundwell, Esq. ; 84 scholars from St. Mary's
(Bryanstou-square) School, by the Rev. R. Rut-
land ; 20 scholars from East Barnet National
School, by the committee ; 200 scholars from St.
James's (Clerkenwell) Parochial School, by sub-
scription ; 53 scholars from Hendon British
School, by J. Spalding, Esq. ; 31 scholars from
Felton National School,- by subscription ; 96
scholars from Hampton Grammar School, dtto ;
31 of the band of the 60th Rifles, Aldershott,
officers pay all expenses ; 960 workpeople from
Messrs. Marling, &radian, and Co.'s, Ebley and
Stanley Mills, Strood, all expenses paid by em-
ployers ; 700 workpeople from Messrs. Denham
Brothers', Bristol, ditto ; 100 members of the Tower
Hamlets Volunteer Engineer Corps, with band,
and lstEssex Volunteer Engineers, by Capt. Bentall.
Of the above, the most remarkable were the
party of Messrs. Marley, Strachan, and Co.'s work-
mt.from Strood, and a similar party from
Denham Brothers, Bristol. The first num-
bered nearly 1,000, and the second 700, and in both
seers all expenses, refreshments included, were
mind liberally paid by the employers. Messrs.
Derham's people brought their own band, which
played in the building, and departed to its in-
spiriting strains in the evening. In both cases a
journey of 200 miles (to and fro) had to be per-
formai in order to see the Exhibition. The venous
railways could bring up about 50,000 each morning,
and it is to be hoped that the employers of labour
will follow the example of the two firms above
mentioned, and give them all full employment.
The highest temperature during the day, as
registered by Messrs. Negretti and Zambra's patent
thermometeas, was the nave, 62.2 deg. ; in the
galleries, 62.2 deg. the reading taken at 3 p.m.
The following were the total numbers admitted on
Thursday, compared with the corresponding day
in 1851;
