COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.

_—• -
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
SAILING MATCH BETWEEN THE CELE-
BRATED AMERICAN YACHT AMERICA AND
THE SWEDISH YACHT SVERIGE.
COWES, OCT. 12, 1852.—This match, which is for
100/. a side, was to have come off on Saturday, at 11 A M.
The Swede was at her post, ready for starting, but the
owner of the America objected to sailing as he con-
sidered that there was not a 7-knot breez", which being
supported by the Secretary of the Royal Yacht Club, the
America did not get under weigh; but the Sverige
started alone, and reached off to the Nab. Soon after her
return the America got under weigh, and they beat down
the north shore off Cowes, the America having, we
thought, some advantage as she laid nearer the wind.
Her sails stand like boards, while the Swede's bag like
the English yachts, or nearly 3.3 bad. The Sverige re-
turned to Cowes Roads on Saturday evening. This
morning she proceeded again to the starting point, but
there not being a 7-knot breez?, sho tried her powers
with the Wildfire yacht, which the sailor's say sails like
a " little devil." The little un had the start, and they
proceeded to the westward, the wind being from the
northward; with the light breeze blowing she was likely
to keep it. The Russian }wilt and several schooners of
the R.Y.S. are also trying their sailing qualities.
The Swedish yacht has returned to her anchorage in
our roadstead; to-morrow, at 11, she will be at her post
again, when may a stiff braze attend her.
A FLOATING BRIDGE FROM WEST TO EAST COWES.
—This long wished-for and highly desirable mode of
joining these two towns is likely soon now to be carried
into effect. A company is being farmed, engineers aro
on the spot, traffic takers ate busily employed at the
ferry, and there is every appearance of the subject being
taken up in a business-like manner, and being well sup-
ported by the inhabitants of Cowes, Hyde, and indeed
the island generally.

LOSS OF THE RED ROVER STEAMER.
The Dutch range of coast appears to have experienced
the recent Equinoctial gales as severely as our own
shores, perhaps more so as regards the number of dis-
asters and the loss of life and property. The havoc
amongst the shipping was most considerable, and of the
many vessels wrecked during the storm was the cele-
brated Red Rover steamer, which for many years, it may
be remembered, was a favourite passage boat between
London, Herne Bay, and Margate. The unfortunate
event took place during the height of the gale on Friday
night while on her first outward trip to Grongen. The
Red Rover some short time back, was purchased off her
old station for the purpose of being converted intoa
screw boat, and to be employed in the Dutch trade, th e
conveyance of cattle and general merchandise; she under-
went a thorough overhaul, hull strengthened, paddle-
boxes removed, now engines put into her, and fitted with
the screw propeller. Other alterations and improve-
ments were made in order to render her a sure sea-boat,
and under the command of Mr. Cullam, master, she left
the Thames on Wednesday on her first voyage across to
the Dutch coast. Scarcely had she got into anything
like sea-room before she encountered the gale which has
proved so destructive in all directions of the coast. She
steamed on in the hope of weathering the storm, and she
was reported by two vessels, since arrived, to be making
all way to her destination. Friday afternoon, however,
brought more fearful weather, which tried the vessel
severely; and she was blown ashore on the beach about
two miles from Schevengen,and the master and crew,
and some persons who had been permitted to take a
voyage in her, were saved. On the same night another
vessel, called the Sirene, bound to Stettin from Cher-
bourg, went ashore near the spot where the Rod Rover
was wrecked, and, melancholy to add, only two out of
the ship's crew were saved. In the vicinity of the Dooms-
dens 50 fishing boats, each containing five men, were out
when the storm set in, and out of that number only five
had returned when the mail left. Tho worst fears are
entertained for the fate of the remainder of the fisher-
men. •

THE LATE J. C. NZILD, ESQ.—Tbe death of Mr.
Neild has placed a mass of papers in the hands of his execu-
tors. lie was in the habit of safely storing the various com.
munications he received, and also copies of the answers which
he sent. From these it is clear that although he was rigidly
careful and penurious, he was not without sympathy for his
fellow men, but that he did at times distribute portions of
his great wealth in acts of benevolence and charity. To the
Deaf and Dumb Asylum and the Bucks Infirmary he was a
contributor; and, notwithstanding his stern and repulsive
mode of receiving personal solicitations, it is known that the
deserving needy were, when in distress, often assisted by
him. It has been said that the persons who found him at
North Marston, when he cut his throat some 2 years since,
and but for whose interposition he must have perished, were
not rewarded by him. This, it transpires, is incorrect, inas-
much as in his fe-time, the family were from time to time
assisted and some of them were by his aid enabled to emi-
grate.—Oxford Chronicle.
CHILD MURDER.—Yesterday (Friday) morning,
while one of the labourers at present engaged in removing

the time of death, and when found
state of decomposition. No traceshwaasve i

AMERICAN NE WS.
The Japan expedition squadron, consisting of the
Mississippi, Princeton, and Alkgtany steam frigates,
under the commend of Commodore C. Ringold, was
to sail on the 10th November.
Two fishing schooners had arrived at Gloucester
from the fishing grounds. They reported several ad-
ditional warnings by the Lritish cruizera, but no
further seizures, except the schooner Caroline Knight,
of Newburyport, on the I 1 th u!t., about ten miles
north of Prince Edward's Island. The owners of the
Caroline Knight had received a letter from the cap-
tain, in which he states that there were other vessels
inside his at the time of the seizure, and that he had
no intention to trespass on forbidden ground. It was
estimated that the returns of mackerel this year would
fall short at least one-half of the usual average, taking
the estimate from the " catch" during the same period
last year.
According to letters received from St. John, New
Brunswick, the contract for the European and North
American Railroad, from Shediac and Nova Scotia,
'nut sad St. John, to the Maine boundary, bad been
cloby the executive and the company with .Mr.

The province takes 1,2001. in stock, and leaves the
company 1,8001 per mile, The loan bears interest
six per cent., secured by a first mortgage on the whole
road, stock, stations, &e. '[ho road and all equip-
ments to be cf. the very best description, such as in
the best English roads, and capable of being travelled
over at the greatest speed. Tile survey was going on
with vigour.
Mr. Thomas Baring was received by the President
on the 27th ult.
We have brief advicea from Buenos Avres to the
7th of August, at which date hides, both dry and
salted, were scarce and high.
The Boston Advertiser of September 27th gives
the following summary of River Plate intel-
ligence

The barque Buck Eye, which arrived here yester-
day from Buenos Ayres, brings advices from that port
to the 7th alt.— a week later than the latest accounts
before received. The Progreso of the 6th says that sa-
tisfactory official communications have been received
from all the provinces, giving their assent to the prin-
ciples which are to serve as the basis of the approaching
national organization. The province of Catamarea had
at last given in its adhesion, and had distinguished itself
for its patriotism and confidence, having ratified the
agreement cf San Nicholas in all its parts.
"On the 20th of August the representatives of all
the provinces were to assemble at the capital, Santa
Jecina, to form a General Constituent Congress. The
Progreso says that the Congress is the hope of all; its
deliberations will be the balsam which will heal for ever
the bleeding wounds which tyranny and recent events
had opened in the body politic.
The Progreso of August 1 contains the official re-
cognition by General Urquiza, us Provisional Dictator,
of the independence of the Republic of Paraguay, and
the conclusion of a treaty of friendship, commerce, and
navigation, by which the free navigation of the rivers
Paraguay and Parana is secured to the Republic of La
Plata and the Empire of Brazil. This treaty is regarded
as an event of great importance. The independence
of Paraguay was acknowledged from the 17th of July.
" Accounts from Montevideo state that the Oriental
Government having sent a Commissioner to the mouth
of the river La Plata, to ascertain the most suitable place
for the establishment of a lighthouse for the benefit of
vessels coming from sea, he had returned, having desig-
nated the island of Lobos as the point best adapted for
the object.

"On the 27th of July M. St. George and Sir C.
Hotham were received by the Oriental Government and
presented their credentials. Sir C. Hotham afterwards
sailed in the Vixen for Buenos Ayres with M. St.
George, and on the 6th they were presented to General
Urquiza.

'.-The Progreso says that it has been reported that the
Brazilian Government had obtained from the Argentine
Government permission for a Brazilian war steamer to
enter the Parana river for the purpose of transporting a
Minister of the Emperor of Paraguay. The report is
contradicted, and it is added that the representatives of
Brazil at Buenos Ayres, with whom the Government en-
tertained the most cordial relations, had no motive for
making such a request.
"The decree lately issued, admitting flour into Buenos
Ayres, has been revoked ."

A party of thirty or forty slaves escaped from
Kentucky about the 28th ult. They were pursued
to Ohio by their owners, who suspecting them to be
in a certain house, applied for a warrant to search it,
which was refused. Three of the runaways were
subsequently captured on the road and taken on their
way back. At last accounts the negroes of the
neighbourhood had assembled in great numbers with
arms, and surrounded the hotel where the parties
were stopping. It was feared that disastrous conse-
quences might ensue, as the slave-owners had ex-
pressed a determination to have their property at all
hazards.

Advices from Tampico to the 12th ult. had been
received at New Orleans. The Mexican war steamer
City of Mexico and the sloop of war Puebla were in
the port. The excitement in regard to the usurpa-
tion by Cardenas of the Governorship of the State of
Tamaulipas still continued to exist A decree bad
been issued conferring upon the Governor whatever
powers might be required to repress the revolutionary
spirit exhibited at Tampico and other parts of the
State. If the Governor considered it necessary to
employ Don Antonio Canalos in the matter the ne-
cessary licences would be conferred upon him. A
pronunciamento had been declared as a last resource.
An appeal had been made to the General Congress,
and the election of Cardenas pronounced null and
void.

At St. Jsgo de Cuba another earthquake occurred
on the 2Sth of August. The inhabitants, who were
fearfully terrified, had built temporary huts upon the
beach.

Some of the papers mention that two British offioers
had been arrested and imprisoned at savannah on
suspicion of being " fillibusters." The British con-
sul procured their immediate release.
