AQUATICS.

ROYAL THAMES YACHTCLUD.—fhe second below bridge
sailing match of the season, amongst yachts belonging to this
Club, will come off on Monday. The cup is a very handsome
one, and is given in honour of his Majesty's birthday. The
Gazelle of 25 tons, the Telemachus of 21 tons, the Lady
Louisa of 13 tons, the Alert of 16 tons, and the Princess
Victoria of 25 tons, arc the boats entered. The Gazelle is a
stranger, and, from her tonnage, should there be any wind out,
may give the Princess Victoria, of Calais celebrity, her work
to do. Should a light breeze be the ruling order of the day,
the Lady must be the favourite. The Telemachus will, we
have no doubt, be engaged in looking after the others. Her
owner is much respected, but it is vice versa with his boat. In
fact, betting men will forget that there is such a boat entered.
TIIE SILVER Cues MATCH.—The gentlemen frequenters of
Lyons's row their match from Westminster and Putney to-
day. It will be a double sculls wager, and the competitors are
Mr. Lyon and Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Galway,
Mr. Heyliger and Mr. Randall, Mr. Smith and Mr. Conig,
and Mr. Cookes, and Mr. Robinson. The match will be
started an hour and a half before high water, but it is a late
tide. Aviss's will be head-quarters.
MATCH FROM MARGATE PIER TO LONDON BRIDGE.—Mr.
Robinson's undertaking to row, with his watermen, two pair
of sculls in a wherry from Margate to London Bridge, will no
doubt come off about the 26th instant. He is to do the dis-
tance in twelve hours. It does not appear to be SG great an
undertaking as his Gravesend match, and we doubt if there is
much money on it. Mr. Robinson possesses game enough
fur anything ; but there are some who think the novelty of
the match its greaten feature..

WHO IS TIIE AUTHOR OF 66 RATTLIN THE
REEFER ?"—This new story of the sea has arisen to such great
popularity, as to pass with unprecedented rapidity into a
Second Edition. It is stated to be written by Mr. Howard,
Editor of the Metropolitan. Our clever contemporary, the
Spectator, says, " This work professes to be only edited' by
Captain Marryat. The book itself leaves little doubt of its
paternity. It exhibits the humour, point, and terseness of the
author of ' Peter Simple;' his nice perception of character,
and power of representing it ; as well as his plain but strong
and truthful style of description and narrative, intermingled
occasionally with sarcastic or sagacious reflection. If
' Rattlin the Reefer' be examined with a close and nice scru-
tiny, it will be found to bear a family likeness to its elder
brethren, Peter Simple,' &c. It is the same, yet another."
The Sun remarks, " Like all Captain Marryat's tales, the in-
terest is sustained throughout by a series of striking incidents
arising out of, and linked as naturally to each other, as cause
and effect. All the principal characters arc drawn with the
bold hand of a master." The Weekly Dispatch considers
" Rattlin" to be "a work of great power and originality, and
of engrossing interest, and that it is a romance that must hold
a high rank among the stock of amusing fictions. Whether
Captain Marryat be the author, or whether, as the title page
imports, the Gallant Captain is only the Editor, of this pro-
duction, the work does credit to inventive genius." From
these concurring- opinions, it would seem that " Rattlin" at all
events discovers power equal to that displayed in " Peter
Simple."
The pink- colour which ornaments the English por-
celain has been hitherto unknown to France, arid when re-
quired in that country was always bought here. M. Malagutti,
of the manufactory of Sevres, has analyzed the colour till he
is now able to compose it. In the course of his experiments
he discovered another colour, similar to crimson lake, which
is much more durable than any derived from the animal king-
dom, and which may be advantageously employed in oil
painting.
