Bourton waited until within half a mile of home,
when he drew towards Maley, who was then in
possession of the lead, and after clearing the last
hurdle he came away in earnest, and won easily by
two lengths. Oscar was scratched on Tuesday, at 12.15
p.m. The contusion received in consequence of his
fall at Liverpool, was found to be of such a nature,
that, after an inspection of it on Tuesday morning, it was
deemed necessary to withdraw him. Archer was prepared
to ride Spring, but it being discovered that the horse was
liable to a penalty of 71bs for winning a hurdle race at
Lincoln, his owner determined not to let him start.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
THE DIN OF WA.R.—Troops are daily arriving and
departing, and our streets are quite alive with the march
of troops and the roll of baggage waggons. On Satur-
day a number of the 65th Regiment, who had volun-
teered into the Ist Royals, passed through from Albany
Barracks, to embark from Portsmouth for the East, to
endeavour to curb the ambition of the Russian Bear.
On Monday 150 men of the Rifle Brigade landed, and
about the same number of the 63d embarked to-day.
There were about 200 more embarked.
THE EXPENSES OF THE W4.ll.—The third edition of
The Sun enlightened ms this morning as to the source
from which the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed
to raise the means of carrying on the war. The income
tax is not at all a popular tax here, but as, if we are de-
termined to go to war, or to go to law, there is no doing
it without money—and it is the same case if others are
determined to go to war with us—we cannot defend
ourselves from these tyrants without money. Thus,
in either case the money must be had ; and as there are
but few here that, were a subscription set on foot, but
I would gladly subscribe their pound, or ten, or a hun-
dred in the cause, and rather double it than live the
slaves of the Russian tyrant, the matter soon settled
down very quietly, many consoling themselves with the
remark that they should now know pretty nearly what
the war cost them, whereas, if it had been collected by
an indirect tax, they should not.
THE COMMODORE'S YACHT.—The Earl of Wilton's
beautiful yacht Zara, of 280 tons, was hauled up into
the Messrs. White's yard on Friday last, to be length-
ened 14 feet. She has now 24 feet 6 inches beam. As
she is to be lengthened amidships, the addition to her
accommodation will, therefore, be 14 feet by 24 feet 9
inches, and about 30 tons will be added to her tonnage.
The Leader schooner is in the same yard, being length-
ened 10 feet by the bows.
ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.—SeveraI of
the members considering that the present Squadron
House is too small and inconvenient, have given notice
of their intention of bringing the subject before the
general meeting in May next.
