COLONIAL MARKETS.
The holders of goods do not oppress the market with sales, and as
consumption is now extensive, a fair and quiet business is doing, and
prices are steady, with very little inclination to waver. 7o day we
have public sales of Stagar, 4 211 bags Mauritius, and a small parcel
Pernambuco. The article went steadily, and former prices ruled ; if
any variation, it is not worth notice. Coffee-213 casks, 165 bags, ard
52 barrels E. P. ) 938 bags Ceylon, and 14 bales Mocha, which sold at
firm prices, but showing no important variation. Cocoa-967 bags and
335 barrels of B. P. sold at previous rates, varying from 38s. to 525.
according to quality. Some small quantities of Pepper, Pimento,
Cassie, and Ging:r sold much at their previous worth. These were all
the sale• of East and West India produce to.day. B.P. Sugar steady in
demand and firm in value. On the whole we should say that there has
not been a very great business done during the week, but there has been a
quiet and steady one, at steady prices. The imports to-da7 are lot heavy

AQUATICS.
THAUES 'ROYAL YACHT CLUS.—Yesterday's was, in every sense of
the word, a grand aquatic display; but, although the rain descended
in torrents, there was an immense assemblage, and that too of the leading
Noblemen and Gentlemen patrons of the sport. Not only had the Thames
Royal Yacht Club their above.bridge sailing match, but Combos rowed
against Phelps and Everaul against Joyce. The distance and the time
of starting corresponded so a,s to give those on the river an opportunity
of witnessing the whole of the sport. The Thames Royal Yacht Club
have but ooe above-bridge match in each season. They boast of .the
august patronage of her 'Majesty. Phelps, of Putney, has long been
considered the next best
_man to the Champion, Char:es Campbell; and
Coombes,' who won the sovereigns given
,by his Grace the Duke of
Buccicuch, in the scullers' wager about a year ago, was determined to
challenge the" fountain head" at once. Phelps has much advantage in
weight, and, although he was the favourite, the 6 to 4 in his favour was
offered timidly and taken eagerly. Joyce and Everard had long been
considered powerfulineo, and 5 to 4 had been staked on the former. The
reward of victory in all the matches was considerable. In the Thames

minster.bridge to Putney, and all on the top of the Rio. The following
had been entered to contend for the saiiing match :-
1 Yachts. Tons. Owners. Colours.
Ripple
Oberon
Brilliant
Fortitude ••• 10 •• J. Bette, Esq
Nautilus
The last, however, did not come to the station. Toe d blow ifll from the south-west, and as the
sailing yachts started off the Temp'e s: y,
at the same moment Everard and Joyce went away frnrn Westinin,ter, but
Phelps and Coombes were not placed Ulna the yachts were off the East,: at Milbank.
The sailing start took place at four o'clock, and the yAchts all canted
round well. The Oberon took the lead and held it until she arrived at
Waterloo bridge. She brought up full in the second arch, and had but
little way upon her. The Brilliant was too fast for her,she went through
the next arch and passed her to leeward, thus gaining the first place,
which she held. The Fortitude came up to the Oberon and passed her,
and these two again changed places in Chelsea-reach. In each sue.
ceeehng board the Brilliant gained, and was the first to round the flag..
boat offthe meadows at twenty.two and a half minutes past live. The
Oberon was second at twenty-six minutes past. The Ripple was last_
In running down the Brildant carried away her gaff off the distillery at
Wandsworth. She was a long time in making anything like a satisfac_
tory splice, but ultimately repaired the mishap as well as'could have been
anticipated. It was generally expected that she would have been over-
hauled, but the wind stackesed and the Brilliant won by six lengths.
ln'the match between Coombes and Phelps, as well as on the previous
one, some thousands depended. Coombes took the lead, and, although
opposed to more than a stone of superior weight, he maintained it, and
won by 15 seconds. It was a splendid specimen of rowing and stamina.
In the last match Everard took the lead and kept it well until off the
Penitentiary, where Joyce came up to him and passed through Vauxhall_
bridge half a length ahead. Everard lay down to his work and passed
his opponent. Ile kept the lead and won by twelve lengths.
