- - , yachtsman must have a sense of the pic-
turesqueness of his floating hope, of its
independence, its frolic, and its fraternity.
To carry home and country with him wherever he ,
goes, to be surrounded always by the honest and
hardy faces of English sailors, to have a taste for
sudden disappearances and departures, to Dame and
go like a bird on the wing—these are the secret
joys of the yachtsman. There may be something
in these habits bordering upon eccentricity- -
something that makes a wife jealous and
afraid of such a mistress of a nian's ap'ections
as his yacht. The Roman poet who laid lip his
yacht in the Lake of Garda on his return
from a cruise in the Black Sea, committed her to
the guardianiihip of the immortal Twins with all
the tenderness of a lover. Perhaps ho would hate
been happier if his LEMMA had been more jealous.
Certain it is that a man's love for his yacht is apt
'to possess him like a passion.
The love of this glorious sport is curiously here-
ditary in some families. The son of one of the
finest of English poets, who was himself a passion-
ate lover of the sea, is one of the most accom-
plished yachtsmen of the Royal Yacht Squadron.
A nobleman who makes his yacht his home
throughout the year bears the name and the title
of a celebrated yachtsman whose gallant ser-
vices at Brest two centuries since are
recorded by MAI AI'I.AY. Nor is it rare to
timid that the most devoted and daring yachts
men are equally renowned in the sports of the field.
The owner of a splendid schooner has been heard
to say that next to the rapture of going across
country in the Shires was the sensation of bowling
along under a topsail breeze just a trifle free.
We can well believe it.
But it is not as a recreation of a few for-
tunate rich people that yachting demands and
deserves the notice of the public journalist.ll
It is as an organised national sport, which,
we most heartily acknowledge, it is public
policy to encourage, that we rejoice in its increasing
prosperity and impot tancr. According to an ar-
ticle in the May number of the St. Panrs
it appeals that last year there were as many
as 31 yacht clubs in the United Kingdom, of which
29 were " sea-going squadrons, bearing the
" Admiralty warrants, and about 1,740 yachts, of
" which '240 only were under 12 tons;" that
the total tonnage of these yachts amounted to
53,7(e) tons, employing annually a force of nearly
six thousand men and boys. Such a sport as this
most justly and emphatically merits, on national
grounds, all the encouragement of our naval autho-
rities, anti all the homage of public opinion. We
may note, in passing, that the present FIRST Loan
of the ADMIRALTY owes not a little of his intimate
knowledge of nautical affairs to his old experience
as a yachtsman ; that the present RETARY
13! the ADMIRALTY is not only a yacht-owner
but a cup winner, and that the present COlll-
- in the Mediterranean whose
skill in manemering a fleet is well known,
was always an enthusiastic yachtsman in the inter-
vals of his professional service. Indeed, naval
men never " look down- on yachting ; they know its
value to the country. It is satisfactory to find that
if yachting, like horseracing, is no longer an aristo-
cratic sport, the new generation of " self-made
men who have won wealth and social rank by
honourable enterprise are among the most earnest
and conspicuous members of the Yacht Clubs, and
own some of the finest craft afloat. The Yachting
Congress which has been held this week in
London to consider the advantage of establishing an
institution analogous to the Jockey Club, as a
general committee of reference on all yachting
questions, and to draw tip a code of sailing regula-
tions fer the adoption of all the squadrons, and for
the control of all the sailing matches round the
coat, marks an epoch in the history of this
admirable pastime; and V.'e trust the deliberations
of the flag officers will result in maintaining the
high character of the sport.
We have been glad to note the special invitation
to the New York Yacht Club to compete in the
ocean matches. This is a just and kindly tribute
to our kinsmen beyond the Atlantic, and a generous
acknowledgment of their hereditary prowess as
yachtsmen.

THE OF EL) l'Pro.N"
UNIVERSITY TESTS.

A Boron is not often a good letter-writer.
Indeed, if we may judge from what comes
to the surface whenever the Bench appeals
to the press, the art of English composition as
practised by the Episcopacy savours of the illogical,
the involved, and the obscure. The Bishop of
ELY, for examole, a letter from whom appears
in this inorniug'ei T;owe, is so cumbered with zeal
for the retention of University tests, that he
forgets or ignorer those rudimentary principles
it reasoning wit ich less dignified mortals
consider themselvt s bound to obey. " Long
" 1,. .fore the recel it changes," his lordship
writes, " were into slimed, there were Roman
" Catholics, Dissenter Jews, and oven Mahome-
" dune at Cambridge wl o might be senior wranglers
" or first-clan men if tim 7 had enough of industry
" and ability. Now, the, v may become Graduates
" and Masters of Arta. But, whatever may he
" the effect of might, . 1 have yet to learn
" that there ever can be right, in placing in
" the hands of Jews, Tt irks, or unbelievers
" those offices of trust and influence which have
" from time to time been fo ended and endowed '
" by Churchio en for the prouioti, .n of sound learning
" and trligious education. I beh eve if the founders
" could now speak, whether they lived be-
fore or since the Reformatim n (which puri-
" tied but did not change the Church),
" that they would, one and & Il of them,
say :--` If our endowments must he COltfia-
• cated sweep them away, but at Ica, 4 leave our
" religion : the Colleges and Univen Rios may
" ` struggle on, and teach on, in povert) ", but our
" ißlitests, intuit, in full confidence on a 'he good
" faith of the nation, cannot lawft..llY be
" ' diverted from pious purposes to . endow
" ' secular, and, for aught we can fot eeee,
"irreligious, and eveu atheistical teachini, •
The that allusion to " Roman Catholics and L
" centers" as being among the people who nigh t
formerly be senior wranglers, and the assump-
tion in the following sentence that it is proposed
to transfer the offices of trust and influence in the
University to "the hands& Jews, Turks, or untie-
" licvers"—leaving the Roman Catholics and Dis-
'enters unnamed—is either sophistry amounting
to misstatement, or a strange instance of
mental confusion arising from an email-
