let her remain calm after dispelling the influence of the
excited mans, for ten minutes. She awoke, wit uncon-
scious of ,having spoken, and' toict.she_ had-had-a-nice
sleep.
"The test of the foregc ling is as follows:--Mrs. C. wrote
to her husband at New Orleans by the mail packet of the
following month, December, wishing to know what -kind
of passagele had, and particularly requesting him to
state the weather and general transactions of the night
of the 17th of November, without stating her reason for
se doing. Mrs. C. received an answer to this letter on
the 6th of February, 1849; Captain C. observing that
the mail for January had unfortunately,
•left before he
could write. In this letter, which I have seen, he says,
that on the morning of the -17th of December to that oil
the 18th it was blowing a gale of wind, but quite fair
for theM ; 'they were to the westward of Madeira • :that
there was a very' heavy sea rolling, and the ship labOured
a great deal; the emigrants were very sick and frightened,
and the most troublesome person was an itinerant deaf
preacher, wbo was constantly exhorting them much to
their annoyance; that he was on the poop deck the whole
of thunight; and never did ihe ship run such a distance
as she, did in the 24 hours of the 17th and 18th of No-
vember, 1848.
" Mrs. C. has since seen her husband at Liverpool,
and has told me that everything stated by the somnam-
bulist had been fully corroborated by him."

" EARLY TO BED AND EARLY TO RISE."
" Early to bed and early to rise "
Aye, note it down in your brain,
For it'helpeth to make the foolish wise, -
And uproots the weeds of pain.
Ye who are walking on thorns of dare,
Who sigh for a softer bower,
Try what can be done in the morning sun,
And make use of the early hour.
Full many a day for ever is lost
By delaying-its work till to-morrow;
The minutes of sloth have often cost
Long years of bootless sorrow.
And ye who would win the lasting wealth
Of content and peaceful power,

Ye who would couple Lab Our and Health,
Must begin at the early hour.
We mock at the wings of the King of Kings,
We m

But why loiter away the prime of the day,
Knowing that clouds may lower?
Is it not aster to make Life's hay
In the beam of the early hour?
Nature herself ever shows her best
Of gems to the gaze of the lark,
When the spangles of light en Earth's. green brept
Put out the stars of the dark.
If welove.the purest pearl of the dew,
Apd yhe richest breath of the flower,
If our spirits would greet the fresh and the sweet,
Go forth in the early hour.
Oh! pleasure and rest are more easily,found
When we start through Morning's gate,
To sum up our figures, or plough up our ground,
And weave out the threads of Fate.
The eye looketh bright and the heart keepeth light,
And man holdeth the conqueror's power,
When, ready and brave, he chains Time as his slave
' By the help of the early hour.

COWES, ISLE' OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
COWES, AUGUST 20.
ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.
CONTEST FOR PRINCE ALBERT'S CUP.—The following
yachts started at 11.30 this morning with a light air
from the westward:—
Gitana, 168 .tons, the Earl of Lincoln.
Capricorn, 313 tons, C. R. M. Talbot, Esq., M.P.
Wyvern, 205 tons, the Duke of Marlborough.
Brilliant, 392 tons, G. H. Ackers, Esq,
The Brilliant took the lead at starting, standing away
before the wind, but it was not till one o'clock that they
passed Ryde; the breeze then freshened, Capricorn
being then ahead, followed by Brilliant, Gitana, and
Wyvern. On rounding the Nab the Capricorn was one
minute ahead; she 'gradually increased her distance,
working down the Wight, and on passing the Needles,
about six p.m., was 19 minutes ahead of Brilliant; the
others were still further astern. The Capricorn passed
the starting vessel at 7.35.
The harvest is progressing most satisfactorily, and the
crops are everything that could be wished.

AQUATICS.
CHELSEA REGATTA.
This affair came off yesterday, and,; notwithstanding
the other numerous Monday entertainments, had its
share of spectators.'
Twelve watermen contended for a purse of sovereigns,
the gift of the gentry and tradesmen of Chelsea. The

opposite Cremorne House, down the Middlesex shore,
round a boat opposite the White House, and back to the
Adam and Eve. The result was as follows:
