COWES, ISLE. OF WIGEIT
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESP-NDENT.)
ROYAL YACdT SQUADRON IN fELLIGENCE.
Tne following noblemen and gentlemen have arrived
at the Squadron-house this week:—Spencer do Horsey,
Esq., Jas. Manse, Esq., the Earl of Shelburne, Captain
Geo. B ntiek, the Hon. T. M. Gibson, M.Y., Henry
G Edwin. Eeq . E. R. Harvey, Esq., Viscount Canning,
Earl Mulgrave, Lord Somerton.
Commodore the Earl of Wilton, Captain C. H. Wil-
liams, and several other members, are hourly exptctcd.
Alt is busy preparation for the coming season.
The annual general meeting of tee members of the
Ro)al Yacht Squadron will take place a, the Thatched
House Tavern, on Friday, the 14,:,13 of May ni xt, when
there are a larger number of candidates to be ballotted
for than on any previous occasion; we do not mention
the number for fear that the blank baflirg spirit, which
at one time prevailed in this club should not have quite
died away.
ELECTION OF SECRETARY. At this meeting a
gentleman shill have to be elected to fill the office of
secretary, so long ably filled by Mr, John Bates. There
are nine candidates—viz., four commanders, three rasa.
tern, one lieutenant, and one civilian. But even out of
such a list it will be very difficult to select one so com-
petent as the gentleman that is now retiring. from it.. He
sajs that his age and infirmities preclude the possibility
of his holding it any longer. As to his age, we consider
him but a young man, and should not like to tell him he-
was an old one; and as for his infirmities, they are more
imaginary than real; if any one doubts it let them just
put his mettle up, and they will find that they will have
as tough and as genuine a specimen of the English
sailor to deal with as they can wish for. 'f England ex-
pects every man to do his duty." He has at least. ten
years of g .od working stuff lett in him, and it ought-to
be taken out of him, and we hope it will.
A number of fasoi insoles have already taken houses
and many others ate applying. D. Careegie, Dq:, has
taken Woodvsle; C. 13atlitord, Esq., Auelaide

NORTHWOOD 119 USE.—This splendid mansioe, in the
embellishment of winch the late Mr. G. H. Ward within
the last few )ears spent upwards of 20,0001,, and the
erecting and decorating of which was thi main object of
his life, ham been let fur a school of preparation for the
colleges. From its high, dry, and htEcthy situation, and
its advantages of sea-bathing, it is peculiarly adapted
fur this put pose. There are, however,.many who lament
that the bt-autoul grounds, which are planted with the
choicest shrubs to be found in these latitudes, should be
overrun by school boys; that a place, commanding
'uch extensive, varied, cud beautiful views ,should not
be tenanted by seme prince or peer; that those halls,
in which the elite of England's nobility have been en-
tertained, should be occupied only by professors and their
pupils. But it' the e lifer branches of out noble families
are no longer feasted within these walls no longer
tread this delightful park. still, if the younger branches
are tu have their minds enlightened and their nealths Im-
proved amid the beauties of Northwood, wo are not
c.-Itain that the place is not put to as good a purpose as
its posse,sor intended it should be whilst spending a
princely fortune upon it.
