schooner-yacht arrived here on Saturday last. She is a

and aft schooner rigged; her masts aro very close toge-
ther and lofty. She belongs to the Swedish Yacht Club,

Sverige, of about 300 tons, built at Stockholm by a Mr.
Andersen, and is commanded by Captain Beckman, one
of the owners, having been only four days on her voyage
from Gothenberg to this port. We understand the
owner speaks favourably of her sailing qualities, and in
coming to this country was to compare her speed with
our own yachts. Her dimensions are 111 feet on deck,
with 25 feet beam, her cabins are large and lofty, and is
manned by 17 hands, all told. Her mainmast and top-

ELOPEMENT AND ROBBERY.
(Faoa OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT, SERTEMBER 17.—The tact
of our police was put to the test yesterday, and they
dashed off in different directions in quest of Mr. Kernot,
jun., on the information of his mother that he had gone
off with the servant girl, and had stolen a deposit note
of hers for COO/. The fact came to light by his having
tried to obtain the day before 2001. from the Hampshire
Bank, part of the 6001., stating that his mother had lost
the deposit note, and requesting that another might be
sent for 4004 and 2001. in cash. Finding that this trick
would not Emceed, he got the possession of the note and
went off to Newport, where he obtained the 2001. and
deposited the note. The letter from the bank having
reached Mrs. Kernot, she immediately want home to see
that the deposit note was safe where she had placed it,
but found that it Aa; gone. Suspecting that her son had
stolen it, she gave information to the police, and Ser-
geant White, who had taken the Ryde road, posted
himself on the Pier. Steamer after steamer left, but
Dr. Charles Middleton Kernot's hopeful son did not
make his appearance; but just before the last steamer's
time was up (eight o'clock P.M ), Mr. Henry Kernot and
Miss Cutler presented themselves, little thinking how
soon the career of love and happiness would end. The
young gentleman was banded by the police into the
toll-house, and immediately searched, when 1991. 65.8 d.
was found on him, which Sergeant White took into his
keeping; and helping the fugitives into the police cart,
he drove off with them to Newport, and deposited them
safely in the Police station-house. Dr. Kernot being
out of the island, the loving couple must remain in cus-
tody till ho returns, to appear against them for the
robbery.

ME. PETO, M•P•—LIBERAL DONATION.—The
Hon. Blollber for Norwich, finding that he will be in Nor-
way during the musical festival which is to take place in
that city next week. has liberally transmitted to the conduc.
tors the sum of 100 guinea as a contribution towards the
charities of the city.

NEW CONVICT SETTLEMENT.—Her Majesty's Go-
vernment have resolved to make Freemantle, in Western
Australia, a convict settlement, and the first batch, consist-
ing of 230, will be dispatched early in the ensuing month of
October. They will consist chiefly of persons who have
served three years probation in the Dartmoor and Penton-
ville convict prisons, and whose conduct there has entitled
them to favourable consideration. Each convict will, on
landine-, receive a ticket of leave, strictly confining him to
the colony of Western Australia. A company of enrolled
Chelsea pensioners go out as a convict guard ; their wives
d children , and they will be located in the
country as

THE SOUTH^ WESTERN RAILWAY.—The South-
can nt
South-
Western Railway Company are causing to be erected a new
station-house at Richmond, on the Windsor line, and in-
creasing the public accommodation in other respects at this
important point on the line. Before the extension of this
line of railway to Windsor, the Richmond station was the
terminus, and, on the new line being formed, it was made to
diverge to the right, so that the spacious station premises
then in use became of no service on the new line, and some
sheds have hitherto served the purpose of a station, the ac •
commodation afforded being totally inadequate and puerile,
considering the great traffic and the amount of business
transacted. The company have now, however, caused a
handsome building to be erected, in keeping with the other
very pretty stations on this line of railway (with the ex-
ception of
Wandsworth, which is nothing more than a
common wooden building); and the addititions and im-
provements altogether at this station will be more in keep-
ing with the importance of the place, and afford ample com-
fort and convenience to the public.

The Topaz (steamer) was beautifully dressed out, and accom-
modation provided for a large number of the parishioners,
who had determined to accompany the emigrants as far as
Gravesend, and see them safely put on board the Calcutta,
which is to start at once for Port Adelaide. Plenty of roast
beef, plum pudding, and beer was taken on board the Topaz,
that the emigrants might enjoy
.themselves on their journey
down the river. Everything being in readiness, the Topaz
started on her journey, amidst the cheers of those on board
and those on the banks of the river.
CHANCELLORSHIP OF THE -UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD.
—FRIDAY EVENING.—(From our Oxford Correspondent.)—
A report prevails here this afternoon that the party unfavour-
able to Lord Derby's election have come to a resolution that
it would be highly inexpedient, under existing circum•
stances, to oppose the election of the Noble Earl. It is
hoped, therefore, that the University will be spared a con-
test on this occasion.—Herald.
THE MILITIA IN WALES.—General meetings of
the lieutenancies of the various Welsh counties have been
held, and the customary steps taken, for the enrolment of
the various quotas of men for each county. In Carmarthen-
shire no great difficulty is expected in procuring a sufficient
number of men as volunteers. In Flintshire, however, great
disinclination has been manifested against volunteering, a
fact which may be traced to the harvest operations having
given full work to the labourers. Now that agricultural ope-
rations a- e not so pressing, it is deemed that volunteers will
be more plentiful. No fewer than 670 men are required fur
the county of Glamorgan, for the raising of which number
the ballot will be necessary, as the iron trade and its adjunct
the coal trade, are in full activity, and labour is not over-
abundant.
