COWES.-MONDAY.

R. Y. S. REGATTA.
The match for the Cup this day (the 24th), was less attrac-
tive than either of the former ones, only three yachts having
entered, and the Dolphin being so decidedly the best vessel,—
that betting was out of the question. The following started :
Tons.
Dolphin... 210 ... G. H. Ackers, Esq.
Merlin ... 104 ... Colonel Shedden.
Mischief 221 ... Sir Joseph Hawley.
The latter gave in immediately, and the Merlin followed the
Dolphin at a respectful distance ; Mr. Ackers, of course, ob-
tained the Cup. It is to be regretted that some amusements
are not arranged to fill up the time between the starting of the
yachts and their return. The thousands that filled the town
on the day'the Queen's Cup was sailed for wanted mere to '
amuse the M—we never saw greater numbers throng every part
of the town. The fireworks in the evening did great credit to
Air. Jones; besides the numerous fixed pieces, a great variety
'w7s let off from the different yachts and steamers ; the fire
hying from a hundred vessels was truly grand, and had an
effect which none who have not seen it would have an idea of.
We hear the ladies intend next season to give prizes to be
towed for--this will be an admirable plan of filling up the
lime, while the yachts are running or beating to the Nab or
Yarmouth, and will be attractive.

HER MAJESTY.—As the Queen was passing in
her carriage through 'the triumphal Arch facing the Duke
of Wellington's on her way to Windsor, a person rushed
from the crowd which, had collected to see her Majesty,
and flung a letter into her coach. Ile was soon seized by a
police-constable and conveyed to the station-house, where it is
6,,,lMposed he will remain till her Majesty's pleasure is known.Ll7 man ks an Irishman, and he states that he has been in the

The Marchioness of Lansdowne has resigned her
P'ace as chief Lady of the Queen's Bedchamber ; and the

'larne of our Contemporaries attribute the resignation of the
Marchioness to misunderstandings and breaches of etiquette ;
Ivbilst the Government papers affirm that the resignation is
e
the result of long previous arrangement, it having
.been un
derstood from the commencement that her Ladyship would

ablo to hold the office for a limited period only.—Morn-

HAYMARKET THEATRE--The comedy

this theatre
w T Purpose of introducing to the metropolitan boards Mr.
id„f„L'acy, a gentleman who, to handsome features, a remark-

„,„ Is so essential in light comedy. At first a little ner.
I,irness and hesitation were evident, but he soon warmed in
4tPart, and particularly in the celebrated screen scene and the
eeis Scene threw into it so much life and buoyancy that he re-
i;..led the hearty applause of the whole house. It will be
. Lacy's own fault if he fail to advance in his profession.
rhos must, however, be careful to avoid attitudinizing, and
,11°.,se sharp changes of voice which are far from effective,
Air‘lTainly very disagreeable. The enterprising. manager,
than ‘rebster, played Sir Peter Teazle, and infinitely better
etiv W.,e anticipated. His delineation of the uxorious and de-
jeLl Baronet was altogether very happy. Mr. E. Glover,
ehar°sePh Surface, was not so happy. It is a disagreeable
einir:eter, and to be made at all palatable to the audience re-
Posses greater powers than Mr. Glover at present appears to
