ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB.
Yesterday the last match of the Royal London Yauht
Club came tff, according to arranwinaent at the previous
monthly meeting of the club, wht.n a most interesting
race took place, the day and the wind beinc tay.aurable
fur such an event. The start was from Llackwell
Reach, down the river, round a boat naooreki off TiOury
Fort, and returning to the place of starting. Ira can-
scquence of the lateness of the season, and II great many
of the elite of aquatic spot is being out of town, the
members did not engage an excursion boat. Tto?te was
a large fleet of yachts, which went down the river, ac-
compacyirg the contending vessels, and which were
filled with the members of the club and thcir friends—
with the War Unwk, the Vulante (bearing the flag
the commodore), the Fleur-ne•las, the Gwalior, the
Trio, the Waterwitch, the Ides, &a. The following
are the names of the yachts which were entered fur the
match:—

Half...minute time was allowed to the yachts of inferior

At twelve o'clock they got under weigh, the %rind being
fresh from the north-east, Thought having got her
canvas first set she took the lead, but she was quickly
followed by Whisper. She soon weathered her oppo-
nent. Phantom was close up, and gradually took the
lead after running through Woolwich Reach, and was
first to. round the boat at Tilbury Fort, which was so-
comphshed about three o'clock. The Whisper, in about
two-minutes and a half, followed; Thought being half a
length astern of Whisper. Upon rounding Thought
shot ahead to windward of them, and a most interesting
struggle ensued. In Long Reach Phantom picked up,
and passed to leeward. Thought. however, again got

tom, which was reached at half-past tour; and the latter
half a minute in advance of Whisper.
A protest has been tendered on the part of the owner
of Whisper of being twice fouled by Phantom, which has
to be decided by the committee.

of " the holy Roman empire" it had sometime vexa-
tious squabbles with ' the Emperor," like all the
other " free towns." But now it is condemned to

less than three Emperors (of Russia, Austria, and
Hayti), with a fourth " looming in the future," as
Mr. Disraeli might express himself. Next in rank to
the sable Emperor among the new hunters of the press
is the illustrious Raja of Sarawak. Indeed it may be
doubted whether injustice is not done to this great
man so long as he is not recognised as the great
original whom Soulouque is imitating. His exploits
have been longer reaching our ears than those of
others, but then the theatre on which they are per-
formed is more remote. The press at Sarawak is as
quiet and inoffensive as a press can be. But in the
settlement of Singapore, which has unluckily been
formed on the revolutionary model of England, the
press is active, and apt to be uncivil. It so happens
that one of the Singapore newspapers has been in the
hebit of calling in question the absolute wisdom of the
Raja of Sarc.wak,f.nd oven expr.-ssing incredulity on the
score of his pure and unmixed philanthropy. Some
time ago a gentleman who was (or was supposed by
the Raja to be) closely connected with this Jacobi.
nical newspaper, was appointed to hold a certain
office in the law courts of Singapore. As soon as
the news reached the Raja, he issued a rescript to
the Governor of Singapore to rescind the nomination
of the wicked man who had denounced the ruler of
Sarawak. The Governor of Singapore had more
moral courage than some kings in Europe; he coolly
replied that the appointment not having been made by
him could not be unmade by him ; and that, more-
over, the laws of Singapore did not admit of punish-
ing any man, without trial, on the private ettparte
statement even of the Raja of Sarawak. The re-
joinder of the offended dignitary was that he would
hound the English and Anglo-Indian Governments
upon the disobedient Governor. The contest is an
unequal one. The party attacked is merely the Re-
sident at Singapore, and nothing else ; the party
attacking combines in his own person the character
of Raja of Sarawak, Consul and Protector of
English trade in Borneo, Governor of Labuan,
and Ambassador Extraordinary to Slain. And
neither of the arbiters—neither the Anglo-Indian
Government nor the Derbyite Ministry are under-
stood to be very friendly to a free press. The rulers
of France, Hayti, and Sarawak, each hunts news-
papers with his own private pack. We now come to
a number of gentlemen who seem disposed to pursue
the amusement, as it were, with
