COWES, ISLE OF IVIGIIT.—Dec. 21.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
DEPARTURE OF THE COURT FROM THE ISLE OF WIGHT.
—Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and suite embarked from
Cowes on board the Fairy at 9.30 a.m. this morning.
The Royal yacht steamed out of harbour attended by the
Elfin, intending to proceed to Portsmouth ; but it blew
so hard that before the yachts got half-way across the
Solent they were almost under water, and obliged to bear
up and rua for Southampton.
FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.—Colonel White has
taken the Pavilion ; R. Lambert Turner, E,q., Harriet
Lodge ; the Rev. Mr. Valentine, Busigney House ; the
Rev. Mr. Knight, Adelaide Villa.

DESTRUCTIVE FlDE.—Fire ricks (one of wheat, three
of hay, and one of straw) were destroyed by fire yester-
day at Standen Farm, near Newport. A steam thrash-
ing-machine was employed to thrash out the corn, and
about two o'clock, while the men were at dinner, a spark
from the furnace set fire to the straw, and the barn and
farm-house only were saved. Fortunately the principal
ricks were in the adjoining fields.
