THE POLICE COMTE.

THE LOSS OP THE YACHT ALMA.

The following is an extraot from a letter by Lord
Alfred Paget, describing the lose of his yacht, and the
marrow weep* from drowning of his lordship and her crew :
" Last niebt, a little before midnight, I was on my pas-
sage from Colcheyer to the Isle of Wight, and was running
before a light air—the wind easterly—going 'beat three to
fear miles an hour. The night was beautifully clear and
bright starlight. When oft the 8 pith Foreland, about
fear miles from the lighthouse, as I was coming up the
companio, ladder, I heard the men on deck shsitoting to a
steam boat to "stop her!" I was on deck in an instant,
and sew a steamer making straight fry as at fall speed. In
about a couple of minutes she struck us in the starboard
bow, taming the yacht to reel almost under water and
propelling as forward some distance, as strange to say, her
peddles were not stopped even when she arra& no.
The shcck was terrific, and when the steamer did stop
and get clear it became evadeot that the yacht was fast
sinking by thi head. One of v y men jumped on board
the steamer, and ~treated the captain to stay by oar sink-
ing vessel and vend a boat to save us. His request was,
alter some hesitation, e =plied with ; but in the meantime
we had managed to laucen oar longboat, and bad just time
to get int her 'rhea the mitt went down with all her sails
wt. Neither I nor any of the crew had time to sate an
article of any kind. I requested the officer is charge of '
the steamer's gag to take as on board and tow us to the laud,
bat this he retaud to do, teapot; be had despatches on
board ; so we had a long and hard pull against the tide,
Tensing oat very strong, and at last succeeded, thank God,
is getting into Dover !mhos's..
Had any look-oat been kept ea board the steamer, on
so lovely god maim a night a vessel might easily have been
mew two miles off, isocc,ally one with new sails; bat I am
sorry to say that in too many instances these vessels, going
at the rate of twelve or fourteen knots as hoar, altogether
neglect toot precaution, end many a poor fisherman is ran
down by them and a heard of more.
" The Alma was reedy see. my tons, and was only com-
pleted at the end of last year. We put oar helm to pi rt, as
the law reqa,res' bat, having little mi. re than steerage way,
we could do nothing to save her."
The vessel lemon caused this accident appears to have
bean the Belgian mail stem-packet Diamond.

fah of rain, vegetation la certainly tachwod, and with the meet
tavourebie weather we still think hatvest cannot he early. Although
we have some complaints of the heavy clay molls, yet we moulder

is the general opinion of the tanners is nwitcated by the liberal way in
which thew Lave Reunited our markets einee the beginning of the

there has been come demand for shipment abroad, end the range of
prams at all the nearer continental pore hoe been too high to admit
of en.o to this coutrty. Within the lea week, b .we tree, home

request. The principal arrival; of foreign we are likely to receive
within the next three months are from Italy, the Danube, Pe.
uer.burg. and America; and we believe that, even under the moot
favourable eiremmteneet, these eutpliea will be hardly equal to the
deos.d, and that there eon be but hale fall in prices until after the

ries order,old wheat, from Its acamity,will bear a relatively bleb price.
The lame whims from Goleta repro*ot stocks as reduced to about
