BRIGHTON REGATTA-THIRD DAY.

The regatta was resumed on Saturday under the most
favourable auspices, the weather being delightfully fine,
with an abundance of sport. The attendance of specta-
tors was not so numerous 9 as on the first day, but still
great and extremely respectable ; the chain-pier and
cliffs affording very excellent opportunities of witnessing
the greater part of the race, which owing to the bright-
ness of the day could be seen almost throughout with
the naked eye.

The sport commenced with the race for the Watch-
keepers' Prize of 50b., with 501. added by the regatta
committee.

Arrow 102
Wildfire
Aurora
The Musquito and Julia were not at their post. The
latter of these had, by some misconception, not been
duly entered, and the former was unable to leave Shore-
ham harbour, where she had gone for the night, but
should have left before daybreak. A delay of half an
hour was allowed, to give her a chance of getting to sta-
tion, but she had scarcely got afloat off Shoreham before
the others were pursuing their way to the westward.
The start, originally fixed for 11, took place at 11.40,
with a fine steady breeze from S.W., and a smooth sea.
All were very smart in setting their sails, the Aurora get-
ting her topsail first set, and making a short board on the
starboard tack, the others on the port tack. All had to
go about before rounding the western spotsboat, before
reaching which the Arrow went to windward of the Aurora,
which had for some time kept abreast of the Wildfire.
At the western post the Wildfire went first round, at
11h. 48min. 30sec., the Arrow at llh. 49min., and the
Aurora at llh. 51min. In the tolerably free sailing
from this spot to the Southward boat, the Arrow passed
the Wildfire to windward, and they made the south-
ward buoy, with the Arrow still leading, at llh. 53min.
50sec. Shortly after this the Arrow carried away the
joins of her gaff, and sprung her bowsprit, which dis-
abled her further continuance in the race. The Arrow
was at the Eastward spot at lh. lm., and the Wildfire
at half a minute after, but had scarcely done so when
she carried away her topsail-yard, and hoisted as soon
as they could a jib-headed topsail, it taking tier some
time to clear away the wreck. They rounded the first
time in the following order :
Arrow lh. 25min. 30 sec.
Wildfire
These two continued without any change, the wind
being still good, and rounded the second time as fol-
lows :

Arrow 2h. 56min.
Wildfire

In the third and final round the Wildfire fell a trifle
more astern ; the race ultimately concluding as fol-
lows :

Arrow 4h. 44 min. 15 sec.
Wildfire
The Arrow, which is a most beautiful boat, belongs
to the Royal Squadron and several other clubs.

Merlin 29i
Emelie
Phantom

The start took place at 12 hours 55 minutes, over the
same course, but only twice round. The Emelie was
the weathermost boat, the Merlin being next to her.
All went away together beautifully on the same tack,
each making a short board. The Phantom waited for
the Merlin to go round and get in trim before she well
swung. The Emelie took the lead for a short distance ;
but on making the next board to the westward, the
Phantom soon passed into the first place, and they com-
pleted the round thus :

Phantom lh. 53min.
Ernebe lh. 57min.
The other was all astern. The Phantom held her lead
throughout, and they finished as follows :
Phantom 4h. 49min. 15sec.
Emelie sh. 4min. 20sec.

The Regatta dinner took place in the evening, at the
Ship Hotel, H. P. Tamplin, Esq., the High Constable,
in the chair. It was very largely attended, and the
usual toasts on such occasions done ample justice to. In
the course of the evening the chairman announced that
Mr. Charnberlayne, the owner of the Arrow, had pre-
sented the Regatta Committee with 201. towards the
next regatta, and Mr. Lane, of the Phantom, 3/.

THE OUTRAGE AND MURDER AT BARNET.—ANOTHER
APPREHENSION.—On Friday a man named Thomas
Maginnis was apprehended by police constable 141 S,
whilst lying asleep on the roadside in Chipping Barnet,
on suspicion of being a party to the recent diabolical
outrage committed on the body of the poor old woman,
Rebecca Broxdon, on the night of the 10th inst., at
Underhill, Barnet, and which has resulted in the death
of the unfortunate victim. In the course of the after-
noon the prisoner was taken before James Dickens, Esq.
(one of the magistrates for St.Albans and Hertfordshire),
when he (the prisoner) stated that he only came fro=
Kells, county Mayo, Ireland, about two months since, be
was totally ignorant of the charge against him, and that
he could prove an alibi. Evidence, however, was given
to the effect that on • the day after the outrage the pri-
soner changed his attire, and a few days after a eeettg
jacket was found in a dunghill near the barn where the
to
crime was committed, and which upon being
the prisoner he admitted belonged to him.
enof the
was then remanded to the adjourned examination Cunning-
other two prisoners, Patrick Farley and Brian shown

of having taken

THE CROPS IN THE WEST OF ENGLAND.—In Devon
and Cornwall great damage has been done to the grow-
ing crops by the heavy rains throughout June, and as
far as this month is gone. Much grain has been laid,
and a large portion is described as being in some places
under water. These advices have produced much un-
easinese with regard to the approliclune,harYest.
