THE ROYAL YACHTS.—Hundreds are daily availing
themselves of the kindness of Lord A. Fitzclarence in
allowing every one who pleases to go over the Victoria
and Albert and the Fairy. The boatmen are reaping a
good harvest.
The yachting season, which has been so long delayed
this year, appears to be about to commence in earnest.
Numerous fashionable visitors are daily arriving, and
the applications for houses increase; but we never re-
member so many houses to let at this late period before.
THE HARVEST.—AII sorts of corn promise well.
The harvest will commence in about three weeks. Beans,
peas, turnips, &c., want rain. The potatoes never looked
better, but cannot long stand out against the continued
drought.

NaLsoN's COLUMN.—Yesterday the works at
Nelson's Column, Tiafalgar•square, after a lapse of
nearly two months, were once more, resumed, and, in
consequence of the recent grant made -by the House of
Commons, it is said that this national monument is at
length to be comp!eted without. any further delay.
