BILITISII YACHT CLUB SAILING MATCH.—The very handsome
silver cup voted by the members of this club, in honour of her Ma-
jesty's Coronotion, was sailed for yesterday above bridge, and
afforded considerable sport. It was the second match of this de-
scription above, and from the known qualities of the contending
yachts the attendance was very excellent. The Commodore, at
half-past three, took his station in the starting galley, and the fol-
lowing boats were then placed in position :
Tons. Owners. Colour.
Vestris 8 J. Weston. Esq Red with Yellow Cross.
Ripple 9 B. Holt, Esq Blue with White Diamond.
0ber0n.....6 D. Davidson, Esq Scarlet with White Cross.
Piper.. ...... 6A. Robinson, Esq White with Black Leg.
The distance was as usual from Temple-gardens to Wandsworth
Meadows and back. The wind was W.S. W., and vas a good
wholesale breeze, occasionally freshening so as to lay the yachts
when they caught it towards the beam. They all canted at the
same moment, but the Vestris was first under way. The Ripple
was second, and the Oberon third. There was no change all the
way up, although there was an ample opportunity in the going
about of exhibiting the weatherly powers of the yachts. The Ripple
stretched her boards longer than her adversary in going up Thames
Bank, and gained a trifle on her adversary ; but the other winded
well in the reach, and shot right away from her. At five o'clock
the Vestris first rounded at Wandsworth, and was followed in two
minutes and a half by the Ripple. The Oberon came round third
in about the same time afterwards. The boats turned into the
slack, the tide not having made, and the Ripple was decidedly the
best at running. She gained considerably upon the leading boat,
and was not a dozen lengths astern of her, both going before the
wind, when she carried away her main-stay, and drove through
Battersea-bridge. The Oberon then took the second place, but
there was no chance of passing the foremost yacht. The Vestris
won by four minutes. She was throughout well managed, but was
much released by the Ripple's accident. As high water approached
the wind gradually subsided, and there was but a light air down.
There was no cause assigned for the absence of the Water Witch.

EXTRAORDINARY WALKING.—MoIIoy, of No. 7,
Rose-street, Soho-square, has now entered his 6th week, having started
May 629, to perform the Herculean task of walking one mile and a
quarter every hour for 1,000 successive hours, being 1,250 miles, with
the additional difficulty of abstaining from anything intoxicating in its
mature, or, in fact, stronger than tea, coffee, or ginger-beer. It is ru.
moored that the Temperance 'Societies will amply reward him in the
event of his success, which now is almost certain, and well he deserves all
he may get ; he is an upright, clever walker, and steps over the ground,
which is none of the best, in gallant style. On Tuesday afternoon, Mol.
boy accomplished his arduous undertaking. This feat of pedestrianism
exceeds that of Captain Barclay considerably.
MARSHAL SOULT.—On Tuesday the Marshal
and suite went to the British Museum, where they were received by Sir
Henry Ellis and Mr. Children, who conducted them through all parts
of the establishment. His Excellency was very much gratified with
marbles,
but was most struck with the Elgin
everything,which his goad
taste led him fully to appreciate. The only fault we could find was
that there was an embarras de rkhesscs. Marshal Soult then went to
the Penitentiary, where Mr. Nihill and a number of the Committee at-
tended him over the wards and explained everything in a most satisfac-
tory manner. The details were very interesting to the Marshal, as he
intends establishing a military prison on a something similar plan at St.
Germains near Paris. He was evidently very much pleased, not only
with the remarkable cleanliness and the absence of close smell in the
prison, but also with the good quality of the provisions and the general
arrangements. The Marshal's next visit was to Westminster Abbey,
where, in spite of the scaffolding still obstructing the general view, he
was enabled to examine and appreciate the beauties of Henry the 7th's
Chapel, and the -urin.ities or the various tomb.; in the Abbey.

THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF NOR-
THUMBERLAND'S GRAND FETE. AT SION-
HOUSE.

Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland gave
a splendid fete at their beautiful villa on the banks of the
Thames. It was one of the most distinguished parties for rank
and fashion given since his late Majesty was entertained by the
Earl of Mansfield, at Caen Wood.
At three o'clock the company began to arrive, and the car-
riages continued to set down company, without intermission,
until after five. A great number of the nobility came in car-
riages and four, with outriders. The whole of the Foreign
Ambassadors Extraordinary came with postillions.
The grounds belonging to the above delightful residence
are so well known to our fashionable readers that a description
would become tedious. We can only say, that they never ap-
peared to greater advantage than yesterday, for the weather
was most propitious.
The dejeuner a la fourchette was of a most recherche descrip-
tion, and consisted of every delicacy procurable, and the
choicest wines were in abundance. The plateau was elegant,
although, we understand, not the family plate, but supplied by
Messrs. Ruudell and Co., of Ludgate-hill.
The Company in the meantime promenaded in the par-
terres and pleasing walks with which these richly-cultivated
grounds abound.
In a marquee of a large size, placed on the lawn in front of
the House, facing the Thames, the fine band of the Royal
Regiment of Horse Guards (Blue) played in excellent style
selections from Mach Adhel, Les Huguenots, Puritani, Lucia
di Lammermoor, &e.
At ten o'clock there was a grand display of fireworks on
the lawn ; they were particularly admired by the assembled
visiters; and were certainly deserving of their praises. Shortly
before eleven they ceased.

A quadrille band then took the place of that of the Royal
Regiment of Horse Guards, and dancing immediately com-
menced.
Among the company, which must have exceeded 1,500, we
noticed—
Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cam-
bridge, Duke de Nemours, and Prince George of Cambridge.
Their Serene Highnesses the Prince Ernest of Hesse
Phillipsthal, Prince Christian of Holstein-Glucksburg, Duke
of Saxe Cobourg, Duke of Nassau, the Hereditary Prince
