1 esterday was about the gayest scene Lord's has witnessed
during the present season. the attraction beyond the match
being the presence of avast number of ladies and the :ittend-
&nee of the band of the let Life Guards, by whom all the
popular music of the day was delighttelly performed. There
was a larger number of carriages on the ground than there

has been on any day throughout this summer: The score

THE ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB REGATTA.

Rum, Tut:Mina! EvEsttNo.—At the close of the report
on Wednesday evening, only some slight facts were given
as to the progress of the race for the prize of 1001. for yachts
of all nations, in consequence of the lateness of the hour at
which they were started, and the esc,isive length of the
course, which was round the Isle of Wight, which deficiency
will now be supplied ; and, to give as connected a detail as
possible, it may Ise meessary to recapitulate the movements
of the vessels front the starting point, immediately opposite
the pier. At the time of starting, at 211. 40m., it was
nearly a dead calm, with light airs from the eastward,
and but little progress was made by any of the
yachts for nearly half an hour, when the wind
flying" round to the west, and the Arrow being at the
time thu weathermoAt vessel, she took the b iiil,• but
with a very trifling advance, followed closely by the
Cygnet, who took close on her quarters the Wrechante.
After her, ut some distance, came the Liadia, and in close
company the Secret, Alarm, and Brilliant. The latter ship-
schooner, being 393 tons, in the absence of sufficient wind
to lighten her large mainsail, fell into the rear, the lighter
cutters not experiencing the same difficulty in maintaining
their relative positions. They continued in this taller. with
a difference of a slight nature, off Lyutington, when the
Cygnet shifting her jib, the Alarm weathered her off
tliis point by about one board. This advantage was hut
of teinp,rary duration, fur soon after the Alarm slightly
touched the ground, and split her jib; hut this tatter acci-
dent was speedily remedied, and it can hardly be considered
to have altered her chances in the match. The Cygnet soon
after recovered her place, and in working through the
Needles, took the advance of the Arrow, rounded it tint in
the following order:

Cygnet 7b. 43m. 1).1.

If geban'e
Shortly after the twol leading vessels had passed
Lyming-
ton, the Loclia cutter, Twysden Hodges, Esq., got a-
ground, and so much time le•ing lost through this circum-
stance• she here gave up the contest, and proc3tded no fur-
ther. This was much to be regretted, as no test of her
uiil-
ing could bo obtained.
The remaining vessels did not arrive at the Needles until
nearly half-an-hour after the three above named, and, in
consequence of a thick fog coming on, it was Impossible to
ascertain how they arrived. The (*el:net and Arrow having
new gut round to the back of the island. with a fair course
belote them. a most interesting contest ensued between
them as to who should claim the prize, as •he pretention of
all the others was now compleb•ly out of the question.
Nothing could exceed the beauty of their sailing
qualities, so nearly balanced were their respective
mths. They kept their position together until
arriving off Ventnor, it blowing a fine fresh lirc,ao
from the west, when the Arrow began slightly to
advance, and this without any demerit to the Cygii-t, when
it is considered that the Arrow is $4 tons, and the Cygnet
but 3.1. The Arrow now hoisted an immense amount of
and by this means she was enabled to overpower
her smaller rival, arriving at the Nab Light as follows :
Arrow
It a u
The yachts then took the wind at north-west, and boat-
ing inward from the Nab Light to Hyde, the Cygnet again
proved Inc excellent sailing qualities by recovering 2 mi-
nutes upon the Arrow, between the Nab and Hyde, the
Arrow reaching the starting point at the pier little more
than two minutes iu advance. The time ollivially declared

Arrow . 1211. 13m. Us.

On the starting of the yachts the Wildfire, nut entered,
took a weatlter station of the yachts in the match, for the
purpose of testing her qualities, which Maes she kept until
nearly off Hurst Castle, when the wind freshened, and she
was soon left in the nat..

The American yacht America, Mr. J. R. Stephen., joined
the squadron in the Cowes road, in company with the Pearl,
belonging to the Marquis ofAuglesey, having only herstay-
sail nud fi.resail set, and continued with the contending
vessels up the West Channel, and again gave proof of her
gond qualities and excellent trim. There can lie no doubt
gnat sfic will be a formidable rival to any yacht who will
take up her challenge.

MANCIIParfEIt REGATT.4.—The aquatic sports at
Manchester terminated on Wednesday evening. In the
Express of that day we published au account of them
up to 4 o'clock on the previous day. In the deciding heat
for the Austin prise, the Gem came in first, but WWI
qualified on account of having turned the buoy the wrong
way. The Tradesman was consequently declared the
winner, and the Thistle second. The next race was for the
Stewards' Cup, of is guineas' value, including silver
medals; four-uared gigs or cutters of any length, exclusivo
to gentlemen amateurs. Thu NClllehiS Club's cutter, of
Manchester, and St. George's Boat Club's cutter, of W.w.
ceder, were the competitors. The Worcester boat was the
favourite at starting, and two to one was freely offered,
and taken to sonic extent, upon them. The Nemesis, how-
ever, WOO very easily, leaving the St. George's boat ant of
sight from the stand. This is the third occasion on which
the Nemesis' crew have won the Stewards' Cup. There
were four entrances for the Champion prise, of ri guineas,
for pair-oar boats, including the Pomona, lielpliegur, and
'redslington, Manchester boats; and the North Gig, belong-
ing to the Clasper* of Newcastle. The latter, however,
were absent, and the interest in the race was consequently
in a great measure destroyed before the start. The Bel-
phegor walked user in the first class, and the Teddington
in the second. The latter won the deciding heat
easily, ax the Belpliegor gave up the contest before
reaching the buoy. The first race, on Wednesday, was for
the Brackley stakes of BM, four-oared gigs. In the tint
class, the Princess heat the Look-out easily. In the second
class there were two entrances, the lielphs gar and the
Shakspeare. The latter was disqualified on account of
having won the Pomona Cup on the previous day, and the
Belphegor consequently walked over. In the deciding
heat the Belphegor, us usual, led and roundest the huoy
first, but was gradually overtaken and passed by the
Princess, who won by about a boat's length. 'rho Elles-
mere Plate, of YSf. in specie, with a sweepstakes of 20s.
each crew, for four-oar gigs, was not contestesl, the re-
guired number of boats nut being entered. The Garrison
Stakes of lot., exclusive to the military, in four-oar gigs,
was won by the Swallow ; the Bed Lancer being second,
and the Hero of Aliwal third. The concluding race was a
scratch match, fur articles of personal adornment, value 41.,
in four-oar gigs. The first heat was won by the thirst crew,
Messrs. S. M'Cormick, Shurrocks, Barrett, and Black-
burn ; and the second by the third crew in the other class,
Messrs. 1 aylor, King, Wilkinson, and Frost. In the de-
ciding the• latter came in first, hut as the accidental der-
placement of the buoy round which they were to turn is
said to have been the principal cause of the other crew's
discomfiture, it has not yet boon decided who was entitled
to the victory.

NEw IIaTTERitEA-BRIDOE.—This bridge will open
to the populous districts of Clapham, Brixton, and rhea
vicinity a much shorter approach to the parks, and to the
whole-West end of London, than they possess at present,
and form a very important part of the desirable project for
embanking the Thames and enclosing a park for public re-
creation at Itamrsca. The works of the proposed bridge
may appear to the uninitiated to have been standing still
for some time past; but now the piers fairly show thent-
selves above low water, and four pile driving engines
mounted over each pier plainly indicate the intention of
rapid progress. The bridge will occupy a nearly central
position hetwcen Battersea and Vaunts:di-bridges, and will
cross the river from near the entrance of the Grosvenor
Canal, at the eastern end of Chelsea Hospital grounds, to
the we n side of the Red-house, Batters' a. It is to ba a
suspension bridge, with two piers so near low-water mark
as not to obstruct the navigation, and one wide A iy oropen-
. Mg spanning nearly the full breadth of the river. Its width
. is to be 44 te..t, with a carriage way of 30 feet, and a foot-
path on each side. In connexion with the bridge a new
line of street is to be made to join Sloane-street, so that the
communication will then be perfect towards Knightsbridge,
Kensington, awl all the surrounding district. There i. a
peculiarity in the mode of constructing this bridge which
deserves notice for the boldness and novelty of the design,
and which. if successful, will confer great crsi:it on the
originator. The piers, i,:steall of bang foubikil in a coffer-
dam, and built of regular masonry, are composed of con-
crete, surrounded and protected on all sides by a substantial
casing of cast iron. Thus no coffer-dam is required, and
tho engineer calculates that he will be able to carry up his
piers to the height of seven feet above high water for the
same suns that a collar-dam would have cost under the old
system. If this mode of founding works in tidal rivers
should rove successful, it will be a highly important step
in hydraulic engineering.
140MaSlual.—Dr. Errington, the Roman catholic
Bishop of Plymouth, arrived at Kitley, the seat of E. It. I'.
Bastard, Esq., one of the recent converts to the Roman
catholic church, and performed scowls-a: there on Sunday
It. Mr. William Hutchison, late the clergyman of Ea-
dellion, Cornwall, but who, it will be rementhered, con-
formed to the Roman catholic church ;shout three weeks
since, is still staying at Endellion. The wife of the parish
clerk of Ludellion, and a young lady culled Mobley, have
been received into the Itinuisa communion at Sanherne.
These persons and some others meet in a room in one of the
dwelling-houses of Endellion. No clergyman has, up to
the pretynt Unto, b;_en appointed by the Bishop of Exeter
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the perversion of Mr.
Hutchison. Mr. Hocken, tko Neter of Endelhon, ss at
present on the continent.
