ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.
COWES, TUESDAY EVENING. The Royal Yrich
Squadron, as the parent institution of the kingdom, has
ever maintained a pre•erninent position and importance
over the other more recent but flourishing branches, and
the opening of the present regatta gives an earnest that,
notwithstanding the closeness of one event upon an-
other, it will prove as brilliant a meeting as on any
former occasion. The beautiful waters of the Solent aro
now thickly dotted with the mimic fleet riding at
anchor, and the display of their distinguishing colours,
with the dressing of many of them in their holiday
bunting, gives an animation to the scene, which,
coupled with the beauty of the surrounding country,
it would be difficult to equal in any other part of
England. The regatta has also received additional im-
portance from the proximity to the royal residence of
Osborne, being under the immediate patronage of her
Most Gracious Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, who almost invariably honour it with their
presence. Whether the present regatta will be any
exception to the general rule will have to be seen, but
there appeers to be a very general opinion her that her
marine
Majesty will return to Osborne House
from her
excursion in time sufficlen- to see the contest for Prince
t royal gift. The

way from Plymouth to this place, had sunk, but this
rumour has turned out, happily, to be without founda-
tion, as information has lately been received that, being
overtaken by a storm, she put into 'Weymouth, and has
escaped with but slight damage.
