LAUNCH or TEI ANSON. —A number of workmen
were employed until a late hour this night in completing
the arrangements for the accommodation of the ticket
risiton and the members of the Admiralty, &c., who will
attend to-morrow to willow the launch of the screw steam
man-of.war ve,sel Anne, 91 guns, at this yard The launch
will take place at a quarter to two o'clock, and the dockyard
main gate will henpen for the free admi.sion of the public
precisely one hour before that time. The Land of the Royal
Marine Light Infantry and the Dockyard Battalion Volun-
teer Artillery band will be in attendance, and the whole of
the workmen will be panted the usual holiday on the oc-
casion The ceremony of cbristening the vessel had been
mane: be performed by her Royal Highness tbe Brin-
ell= ; but, from information subsequently received, it
is probe' that her Royal Highness will be unable to at-
tend, and in that case the ceremony will be performed by
the lady of Viscount Sydney (Lord Lieutenant of Kent).

A NOVEL YACHT.—A large number of persons
al.-cabled at Exmouth on Wednesday to witness the launch
of a yacht, designed by Mr. Peacock, of fitarcross, and so
constructed as to resemble • swan. The model of the vowel
is lb:wick's celebrated Mute Swan, and the size four times
that of the model, the length being 17ft. 61n.; width,
7ft. din.; height, ift. 3in.; with the head 16 feet above
the water line. The sails project on each aide, in the
shape of wings, and • novel mode of propulsion is
adopted by wing • pair of feet at the bottom of the
Yowl, which are conetructed of steel and web, to con-
trived that in moving forward the foot contracta, but in
moving backwards it expands ; thus imitating the
motion of a swan's foot, and propelling the vessel.blotion
is given to these feet by means of a lever, worked like the
handle of a di-renew. The yacht is provided with a
cookery apparatus and • dining table. On removing the
top of the table ladies um bah through an opening in the
bottom of the vessel, with that entire privacy in which it
is known that they delight. At the launch of this re-
markable vessel the tide unfortunately carried her down.,
and before she could be brought under control she struck
upon a reef of rocks, which pierced her bottom ; and it
will therefore be necessary to re-dock end repair her before
her extraordinary qualifications can be tested—Waters
Morning Ners.

DONCASTER RAOIB-7ParDAT.
THE OUP DAY.

The badmen et the meeting was byes& to a most satis-
factory eeediusioa The racing during the four days was
abundant and et the most satisfactorydescription. The
officials worked with • cordial co-operation to carry out the
:="nte In an efficient manner, and their efforts were
with complete soccer. No greater proof of the
increased popularity of the meeting could be adduced than
the fact that the receipts at the Grand Stand exceed by
over I,OOOL those of any former year. The authorities at
the Doncarter Railway Station deserve especial cemmende•
tioa for the regularity and order with which they con-
ducted the immense traffic during the week. To Mr.
Leith, the traffic manager, and Mr. Wood, the clerk
in charge, at Doocaster, the public are mainly in•
debted for the admirable arrangements which were
so efficiently carried out. The station was divided
into two divisions. At the locomotive sidings were
Megan. Mullets and Piggott, and from their divi-
sion alone were despatched on the evening of the St. Leger
between 6 and twenty minutes past 7 ten special trams
to various parts of the adjacent country. Mr. lamb had
the superintendence of the " Shalcsprore sidings," from
which the Loudon cheap excursion train departed. This
train, by the way war so long that it had to be divided ;
it consisted of 30 third-class and 20 first and emend class
earriagee. The " south" trains were under the superinten-
dence of Mr. Brown and Mr. Beswick, of the Midland; the
" north" trains, of Mr. Gleadall ; and the " South York•
shire" trains under the management of Mr. English, the
traffic manager; and when we state that Sheffield alone
contributed 14,000 passengers, it will be readily believed
that that gentleman found his office no sinecure. The
defeat of the first for the Leger in each event for which
they started created considerable astonishment, and the
sioneses of Lords Derby, Zetland, and Portsmouth were
hailed with greet demonstrations of enthusisam. Also-
gether, the concluding day's sport was of gnat interest,
bringing one of the most successful Doncaster meetings on
record to a satisfactory issue.
