TLIE PEERAGE.

Sir,—The remarkable statement made in your valu-
able journal on Saturday last, under the above heading,
has attracted attention. I have carefully checked it, and
find it correct, save as to the earldom of Haddington
and the baronies of Belhaven and Bayning. In the two
former cases, upon the demise of the present peers,
without mail issue, thsir British peerages respectively
will become exdoct, but both Lords Haddington and
Belhaven have heirs presumptive living who will inherit
the Scottish honours. With regard to the barony of
Bsyning, his Lordship is blessed with a eon and heir
born in the year 1844. The baronies of Aston, Nugent,
and Bancliffe, which your correspondent enumerates
amongst those that will become extinct, have already
become so, Lord Ashton having died in 1845, and Lords
Nugent and RancliXe in 1850. However it is quite
plain that within a very few years indeed thirty peer-
ages have become extinct, and that there are now no
less than fifty, for which there are no heirs, either ap-
parent or presumptive, the, groat majority, if not all, of
which will also blB5 ec become extinct.

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.
COWES, AUG. 24.—The match for the Royal Yacht
Squadron Cup, so unfortunately interruptedas b
on Satur-
day, was started afresh yesterday, but, will e seen,
with a result no lees unsatisfactory than would have been
the case had the yachts continued their course on the
day of the first attempt. Yesterday morning, before the
hour of starting, ten o'clock, there was a tolerable
breeze from N.N.E., but it died away soon before the
hour fixed on arrived. The vessels which were destined
astern,, the
to take part were, however, started at ten, westward.

Claymore and Mesquite lying abreast at the distance of
a quarter of a mile; these two shortly afterwards stand-
ing over to the north shore. The Lavrock and Alarm
were at this time the two sternnaost. Off Leap-bank,
the Musquito bade adieu to the Claymore, and drew on
the Arrow, the latter showing signs of wishing to get
into clecer company with her little rival. All the yachts
now got well over to the north shore, to shun the
nice
tide.
There the Aurora got a breeze, and again a
lead. The Mnoquito and Arrow, now in close company,
were followed by the Claymore about a mile astern.
Thera was no great change in their positions for upwards
of an hour, and on passing Hurst Castle the time for the
four leading yachts stood thus:—

A beecz-
. here sprung up, and the two leading yachts
first catching it, they etood over to the Needles in good
style, mending about one o'clock. The Arrow here
took the lead, which she kept all along the beck of the
Wight, till off White Nose, +share the lqucquito, then
about
three miles astern, having passed the Aurora, got
a-head of the Arrow, the latter vessel, however, first got
round the Nab, end kept the leal till off Osborne, where
She was becalmed, and the Musquito, running up with
what wind there was, passed her, and rounded the flag-
boat at Cowes at 10.11, the second gun greeting the Ar-
row six minutes later.
So unsatisfac:ory a regatta as regards sailing has
seldom been known hero. With the exception of the
first day, Tuesday, not one vessel has bad anything like
a wind to try her. The Arrow, as will be remembered,
on that day got a =hied to herself, which enabled her to
get over the course a long time a-head of either of her
opponents. In ta' other two matches it has been little
better than drifting all the distance.

THE CHARGE OF rORGFRY AGAINST A HULL
SOT,lClTOR.—Yesterday William Cooper Robinson, the soli-
citor
charged with having forged the signature of a respect-
able inhabitant of that town to an I. 0. U. for 1,0001
and
who was remanded on Saturday last, was again brought be-
fore the magistrate at the Mansion-house. It was proved
in evidence that Mr. Fricke% whose name has been, with_
out his knowledge, attached to the U., had, as mort-
gagee, given the prisoner authority to sell the property, the
deeds of which the prisoner had proposed to deposit as secu-
rity for the loan of 1,0001., the I. 0. U. being in the shape
of a temporary guarantee until the deeds could be obtained
from London. Mr. Hindes, who appeared for Robinson, hav-

cument not acknowledged by the law,
evidence of a debt upon an actual transaction having been
corroboratively proved, and therefore, as no money had been
obtained in this case, that the charge would not lie, the ma-
gistrates decided to commit the prisoner to the borough ses.
