The yachting season is commencing very late. The
Vi e•Cumm dire has this season no house at the station,
nor does he intend fitting out his yacht. The Commo.
ri,;re bas not yet taken a house, and it is stated that Lsdy
Wilton and family will spend the summer in Lancashire.
Very few houses are at present let at Cowes, though the
rents have been very much reduced this year. Lord de
Grey is expected down next week, and there have been
very numerous inquiries for houses for the middle of July.
THE COURT.-Her Majesty is expected at Osborne on
the 2d of July, for tie season. Powlesse House and
Oakfield Lodge have both been applied for for the
Duchess of Kent.
THE HAY HARVEST.—The crops are very heavy itt
the island this year, and the weather has been all that
could be wished to secure it. The corn is much improved
by the present splendid weather.
ThE POTATO BLIGHT.—W o regret that Re have bad
accounts again of the potato crop. The blight apps ars
spreading, but it is of a different character to that of
former years. The plague spot is not seen on the leaf,
but they curl up and die off. In other parts the stem is
attacked; we speak of N:ton, Carisbrook, and Shalfleet.
Its appearing full a month earlier than common is a very
serious matter, as so many early potatoes have this year
been planted, the early ones having escaped in former
years; added to which, the early carrot, bean, pea, and
onion crops have failed, and those here are the main
crops.

ST. PETER'S COLLEGIATE SCROOL, EATON-SQUARE.
—The distribution of Prizes took place on Thursday at this
admirably conducted establishment, with more than ordi-
nary eclat • Lord E. Bruce, M.P., in the chair. The rapid
advance this school has made, both in numbers and estima-
tion, must be solely attributable to the excellent system of
education introduced by the head masters, the Rev. Dr. Wilson
and Rev. J. Wilson, M.A. Reason and example and not the
rod are used, while the comparative progress in learning is
palpably in favour of such course, the apparent father
and
son-like feeling evidently existing between the master and
pupil is quite charming. The gainers of
Masters Wilson, O'Neil, Hadley, "iPraan, noling. l'irebbstder
Sandi-
lands, Pass, Salter, Beim, Howlitt, Slococka,
W. S. Webster, Bryant, llfalizary prizes were—

delivered, concluding with "Dulcedomum"God save

"sung by all the boys in hearty chorus. Dr.
the Queen, su

Wilson an
d the Rev. bir. Wilson, previous to the distribu-
tion of the prizes, eloquently pointed out that the principle
of education
should not be a fashion but a fact, and that by
instilling into the youthful mind a right appreciation of laws
human and divine, could future advancement and welfare be
obtained, and that it was highly important that parents
should second the master by urging their children to a
strict observance of their duties.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—The most Fearful Cases Of
Dropsy Curable by the Use of Holloway's Pills.--The singular
efficacy of Holloway's Pills in the numerous cures effected by
their use in some of the most obstinate cases of Dropsy is truly
astonishing. This medicine acts with such peculiar effect upon
the system, that the fluids arising from this direful disease are
imperceptibly evacuated, and wholly prevented from any further
accumulation. The distressing symptoms which accompany
the complaint being thus dispersed, the sufferer regains buoy-
ancy of spirits, and a completely renovated constitution. Fe-
males at a particular period of life should have recourse to
these admirable Pills, which are sold by all Druggists, and at
Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
HER. MAJESTY'S STEAM- SLOOP BULLDOG.—We
have sincere pleasure in being able to state that there is
not the slightest foundation for the French report, at
Malta, of the loss of her Majesty's steam-sloop Bulldog,
between Civita Vecchia and Leghorn. Letters have
been received in town from the captain, Commander
A. C. Key, dated Civita Vecchia, June 4, stating all was
well.
RAILWAY COMPETITION.—We stated a few weeks
since that the London and North-Western and EastLan-
asshire Companies had, by an amicable arrangement, put
an end to the injurious system of competition which had
been carried on by them for the Liverpool and Preston
traffic.l iThis wise arrangement has, it is stated, been ter-
minuted by the East Lancashire Company, and there is,
we hear, a probability of a fierce system of competition
~ being carried ou between the two corporations.
