ARUNDEL YACHT CLUB.
The last below bridge sailing-match of the seas,,n, for
41. silver cup, given by the me►nhers of the Arundel Yacht
Club, came off yesterday, under considerable disadvan
tageg. This was the second b_•low bridge match of this
Club, and the contest was confined to thelight class boats,
belonging to members only. The following had been
entered to contend :
Bermudian Mr. H. Bales Rod over white.
Briton 7 Mr. J. Gardner. Blue.

5 .
Dauntless. 7 Mr. J. Edwards, jug. Red cross, blue
rrrounu.
Sylph 6 Mr. J Stanton White over red.
The distance to be sailed was from Greenwich round a
boat moored of Greenhithe, and back to Greenwich. The
Commodore's flag was hoisted on board his own boat, the
Ada Jane, in which a few select frienda were accommodated
with a cast to see the match, and at a quarter to eleven the
Sylph, Briton, and the Dauntless, came to their stations,
the Bermudian Maid declining the contest. The wind was
westerly, but was every hour " flying about," as the
mariners call it, and very squally. At five minutes past
eleven the signal was given, and the yachts hauled round,
the Sylph, which had been the weathermost boat, loading
the way round Blackwell Point; the Dauntless was right
in her wake, and all doing as much as the very small Tian-
tity of wind out would allow them. Off Barking the wind
freshened with a very heavy shower, and came upon the
yachts so stiffly that they were obliged to strike their top.
sails. The Sylph continued to lead all the way down, and
on Erith Sands the Briton went by the Dauntless to
windward, and took the second place. At half.past two,
the Sylph first rounded the flag-boat off Greenhithe, and
turned into the slack ; the D iuntless, which had regained
the second place, next, a minute and a half later ; and the
Briton about forty seconds astern of her. The wind again
freshened with the flood tides; and the Dauntless, which
had been gradually gaining upon the Sylph, weathered her
in beautiful style, and took the first place, which she
maintained all the way up, and gaining in each successive
board; She arrived first facing the Royal Hospital, 18
minutes in advance, and was greeted with some hearty
cheers. - -

There was a large concourse of persons facing the Hos.
Pital, and on the Thames, as the yachts came in, there
being another attraction for the sight-goers, consisting of a
sculrers match amongst the watertnen's apprentices, for a
coat and badge, with other prizes, given by the inhabi-
t4"4. After rowing five heats, it was decided in favour
of Joseph Deust (yellow).

Dr. Chalmers, in a late letter to the mechanics
of Greenock, says, " I now find, both from the state of my
engagements and my strength, that I must withdraw from
the labours of active life as speedily as possible."
